Beck Farming.

We find in the Boston Cultirator an
article entitled the "Golden Age of Ag-
riculture," from which we select the fol-
lowing remarks, that are we'll written
and just to the point.
Within half century new era has
dawned upon agriculture. 1t has been
discovered that if there is no poetry in
cuitivating the earth, there is, or may
be, q great deal of science. The chemist
and the geolog,st stand on each side of
the farmer, as Aaron and Hur stood be-
side Moses, holding up the hands which
begin to faint from incessant toll. 1t is
now we'll understood that every one who
avails himself to any extent of the ex-
perience of others in cultivating the
soil, is to that extent book farmer. That
which is so contemptuOusly called book
farming is no more, nor less, than profit
ing by the good or i'll success of others
in their efforts to improve the different
departments ofrural economy. The good
fortune which one has experienced in
pursuing some particular mode of tillage,
or the unfavorable results which have
followed the labors of another in car
rying ont some different plan or opera
tions, must, of necessity, be interesting
to those whose pecuniary prosperity
may depend, to great extent, upon
the choice they make between the con-
flicting systems. A moderate share of
worldly wisdom dictates the adop ton
of the successful practice, and the re-
lection Of the course which fair trial
has shown to be injudicious; thisIn book
farming; or, if it differ at all, it is only
in this, that he who seeks advice from
his neighbor, OF inquiries into the con-
dition of his crops, obtains his ilJoraa-
| ton imperfectiy from an oral source,
while he who resorts to his books (pro-
vided always that they are well select
ed) procures kno,rled9e in nataral and
rell digested form. This same book
farming, once 30 odious, but now be-
ginning to be appreciated, is the only
mode of farming which will eventually
solve the problem kor to raise crops icifh
the least laborsand on the smallest area,
which being solved, the golden age OF
agriculture will have arrived

VENTILATION OF STABLEs.-This is a
very important item in connection with
all stables, and especially with warm
and close basement rooms. In the first
place, a stable should be comfortably
warm, and not open to any strong cur
rents of air. Nothing can be more un-
comfortable, and perhaps unhealthy, to
stock tied in stall without any chance
for exercise or change of position, than
TO be exposed to strong currents of cold
air, coming in through crevices or large
openings. But it is equally unhealthy
TO confine the stock in close and warm
quarters - especially cattle-as their
horses. A good way to convey pure air
into q stable is to have tubes of boards
foot square connecting with the out.
side, and passing along the sides Of the
stables to the rear, in such a manner
that the air may be conveyed to the
front of the stock. Cold currents will
thus be avoided.-Rxral New Yorker.

The neglect of sheep husbandry in
the Southern States, as compared with
other sections Of the country, has been
the result of an erroneous impression as
to the want of adaptation ofthe Southern
climate to this most profitable and ben.
efcial species of husbandry. The total
increase in the production Of wool in
the United States, from 1850 to 1850,
was s,O64 ,3s5 pounds, and Of this in
crease the contribution of the Southern
States was but sl5,l64 pounds. Yet
the production of wool in European
countries Of the same and even lower
latitudes, is extensive and profit
able. The fact that the ~Merino
has been bred in Europe as far
South as between the thirty-sixth and
thirty eighth parallels of latitude, and
as far north as Sweden, indicates that
tho question is moro one Of assiduity OF
