The following sharp thrusts arc
from Henry Ward Beechers "Plain
Talk to Farmers,
He ploughs inches deep, least
he should turn up the poison that.
III his estimation lies below his
wheat land is plowed so as to keep
as much water on it as possible he
sows two bushels to the acre and
reaps 10, so that it takes a fifth of
his crop to seed the land. His corn
land never has any help from him,
but bears just what it pleases, which
is from 80 to 81 bushels by measure
ment, though he braggs that it is 30
or 60. His hogs, if not remarka-
BILE for fattening qualities, would
beat old Eclipse at quarter race
and were the. man not prejudiced
against deep ploughing. his hogs
would work the ground with their
big snouts better than he can with
with his jack plOw. His mead
ow lands yield him from three quar-
ters of ton to whole ton of hay,
which is regularly left out for a month
and very irregularly stacked up,
and left for the cattle to pull out at
their pleasure. and half eaten and
half trampled under foot. His
horses would excite the avarice of
an anatomlst in search of osteolical
specimens and returning from
their range of pasture, they are
walking herbariums, bearing speci-
mems in their name and tail OF eve
" weed and bur or cookie. But,
O, the cows! If held up in a bright
day to the sun, don't you think they
would be semi transparent But
he tells us that good mixers are al
ways poor. His cows get what
Providence sends them, and very
little besides, except in Winter
then they have a halfpeck of corn
on ears foot long thrown to them,
and they afford lively spectacles Of
animated corn and cob crushers.
Never mind, they yield on an aver
age, three quarts of milk a day
and that yields varieties of butter
quite astonishing.
His farm never grows any better
in many respects it gets annually
worse. After 10 years work on
good soil, while his neighbors have
grown rich, he isiust where he start
ed, only his house is dirtier, his
fences more tottering, his soil poor
er, his pride and ignorance greater.
Cnquestionably, there are two
sides to this question, and both OF
them extreme, and therefore both of
them deficient in science and in COM
mon sense. If men were made ac-
cording to our notions, there should
not be a silly one alive but it is
otherwise ordered, and there is no
department of human life in which
we do not find the weak and foolish
men. This is true of farming as
much as of any other calling. But
no one dreams of setting down the
vocation of agriculture, because
like every other, it has its proper
ton of stupid men.
