are allowed to run about at large over

By thus giving them freedom to stroll

they confined, would have to be supplied

S0ds and Weeds,

1t should be general practice with
farmers to gather up all the sods, weeds,
and even the years growth of briars,
bushes, &C., and stack them in large COM
pact heaps, there to remain for from one
to two years, or until they become pro-
perly decomposed, and resolved into one
mass. 1t would take but little to gather
these, while in doing so the fields would
be cleared of this trash, which, if left to
remain, obstruct the growth of plants
and encourage the increase of these draw.
backs to growing crops. The manure"
which ought to be produced on farm of
an hundred acres by this process, would
hardly be believed until properly put in
operation. But we can say in advance
that there ought to berealized, at the
lowest calculation, one cart load per acre.
This substance is extremely valuable for
gardens, and especially for corn, as well
as for soils of heavy and tenacious
character.
We have long been convinced that this
part Of farmers business has not
nearly been so generally attended to as it
ought to be. In the pursuit of agricul-
ture there are as negligent and indifferent
farmers as other business men. Some,
indeed, appear to have no desire to sue.
ceed, or to make more than mere from.
hand.to mouth living; they never learn
anything from the experience and exam.
pie Of their more energetic neighbors.

Too Much Land.

The desire to own very large farm is
natural, but often pl owes unwise in its re.
suits. When man wishes to p'actice q
mixed husbandry, it is doubtless wise to
annex mora territory. Neighbor Jones
has twenty acres of good meadow land
which is suitable only for hay, or grain
or hoed crops. But as he finds small
dairy would be profitable, and sheep
would bring in good returns, it would be
advisable for him to buy several acres OF
hilly land adjoining. But this accom-.
plished, let him stop, and be careful to
buy no more than he actually needs for
his special purpose. For, this new land
will have to pay taxes, will have to be
fenced. and may need other expenses laid
out to open it. At any rate, it will add
to his cares, and perhaps bring him nc
adequate return. We know a farmer
who, ten years ago, owned $50 acres, and
was doing very well; he now owns five
hundred and is worse off than before.
And why? Because this large farm is
great bill of expense to him; he cannot
afford to keep it up in good condition
and it hangs milestone of cares about
his neck. His wife and children, both
sons and daughters, are obliged to work
hard to keep the great machine running,
We presume his boys declare they will
Leave home as soon as they are old enough
aud the girls say they will die before they
will marry farmers. Neither sons or
or daughters are educated as they deserve
to be-; they cannot be spared for this
from work on the big farm.
Now, we declare that such farm is
curse to its possessor and his family, and
an injury to the whole agricultural inter.
est If that man wants to save himself
and his household, he should sell at least
one half of his land, improve the rest to
make it more productive, release his
children from bondage, and try to make
his home one of comfort. He will live
longer, lay up good property, and will
train up more intelligent and happier

In passing through agricultural districts
the observant person sees many different
phases of farming. He constantly notices
where the eye and Land of the intelligent
attentive and successful farmer belong.
He requires no guide to point out to him
where the soil as well as the mind has
been improved. He sees no failure of
crops there unless through the visitation
of agencies over which man has no con.
troll. Even severe drought has little
effect upon his crops. Judicious manu-.
ring and thorough tillage and draining
alone work these agricultural wonders,

How to get a Ton of Guano Without
Buyilg 1t,

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman gives the following account of hen
manure as fertilizer:
"On cleaning out my hen.house last
Spring, | had more than wagon load Of
clean hen manure drew this into my
barn, intending to drop on the hills Of
corn as soon as they were up. planted
one acre on the first ofMay, but after that
the weather Was so very unfavorable that
it was the end of May and beginning Of
June before | could get through planting.
Long before this the manure began to
heat at such rate that had to unload
it on the barn floor, and on going into the
barn few days after, the ehluvia was so
powerful that was glad to escape. Hav
ing some plaster on hand | mixed it with
the manure, spreading the latter thinly
over the floor, and chopping and bruising
it very fine. 1t was then thrown into q
heap and remained in that condition till
the corn was ready for it. There was no
further perceptible escape of ammonia
With this top dressed all my corn,
eleven acres, and had barrel left over
for other purposes. So we'll satisfied am
| with the result that for the future in
tend to prepare my hen manure in the
same way, and use it upon the same crop.
mixed enough plaster with it to make it
dry and inoffensive to handle. can
speak of this from experience as drop
ped it over four acres myself Now here
is manure equal in value, | doubt, to
the average Of imported guano, which
every farmer can manufacture for him
self, for every farmer keeps fowls. But
he must have a suitable house for them,
and keep them from roosting in other
places about his premises, and even in
trees wasting that yaluble manure, which
is too frequently the cause. So his ghly
do esteem this manure that | make it
my duty every night to see that all my
fowls are in their proper house.

Sociability Among Farmers.

Naturally the farmer is an unselhsh
man. His labors. are mostly out of doors.
His calling takes him much abroad, and
enables him to mingle considerably with
the world. Yet looking at the very large
proportion of the population embraced in
his pursuit, and the important influence
exercised by it over all our public affairs,
it is subject of common remark, even
by agriculturists themselves, that their
social intercourse should be so much re-
stricted. There is no other cause for this
seclusiveness on the part of farmers that
we can see than the "treading in the foot
steps of their predecessors" Be this as
it may, there are other causes operating
which appear to be changing this for the
better. Country fairs, bringing agricul-
turists together from districts sufficiently
near to each other to make acquaintance
ship pleasant and lasting, and putting
them in friendly emulation in matters
and things involving their agrestic skill
and success, are clearly working to form
more close companionships between those
whose domestic comforts and family en-
joyments must be greatly promoted in
the future.
Little clubs among the farmers of q
neighborhood, to meet once week, to
discuss or talk over the innumerable sub.
jects connected with the intelligent prose.
cution OF their noble profession, produce
a decidedly fraternizing and socializing
effect. While these locAl associations
should not be too formal and restricted,
they should haye7an official organization
as better calculated to cause .punctualty
at the meetings. as we'll as to add to their
permanency. On these occasions the
wives and daughters of families should
always accompany their husbands, fathers
or brothers-not to participate of course
in the proceedings that may take place,
but to increase the agrecability of the
meetings, and to share in the pleasure of
these delightful interchanges of good
neighborhood. Indeed, if the truth must
be spoken-and we are ready to do it
upon all occasions, especially upon such
an one as thjs-there 10 very little social

The Plowman.

Tearing up the stubborn soil
Trudging, drudging, toiling, moiling,
Hands aud feet and garments soillns-
Who would grudge the plowman's toll
Yet there's lustre in his eye,
Borrowed from yon glowing sky;
And there's meaning in his glanceS
That bespeak no dreamer's fancics-
For his mind has precious lore,
Cleaned from natures sacred store.
TOiling up yon weary hill,
He has worked since early morning.,
Ease and rest and pleasure scorning,
And he's at his labor still
Though the slanting western beam,
Quivering on the CLASSY stream,
And on old elm's heightened shadow
Flung athwart the verdant meadow,
Tell that shadswy twilight gray
Cannot now be far away.
See no stops and wipes his brow
Marks the rapid suns descending
Marks his shadow far extending
Deems it time to quit the plow.
Weary man and weary stecd
Welcome food and respite need;
IT'S the hour when bird and bee
Seek repose-and why not he?
Nature loves the twilight blest,
Let the toii-worn plowman rcst
Ye, who nursed upon the breast,
Of ease and pleasure enervating,
Ever nev delights creating,
Which not long retain their zcst-
Ere upon your taste they pail,
What avail your pleasures all2
In his hard but pleasant labor,
He, your useful, healthful neighbor,
Finds enjoyment, real, true
Vainly sought by such as you.
Natures open volume lies,
Richly tinted, brightly beaming,
With its svarious lessons teeming,
All outsprcad before his eyes.
Dewy gludes and opening flowers,
Emerald meadows, vernal bowers,
Sun and shade, and bird and bee,
Fount and forest, hill and lea
Ali things beautiful and fair,
His benignant teachers are.
Tearing up the stubborn soil

Hands and feet and garments soiling-
Who would sruise the plowman's toll?
Yet tits health and wealth to him,
