there, the Sary NeVsdy they call it, with q

Journalism.


From the Louisville Journal
In eight yeasrs the entire range and me-
thod of the newspaper business has under
gone revolution. First.Class editors now
are rarer than frat class lawyers or doctors;
aud frst-elass reporter, like thing ell
beauty, sis JOY forever" so rare is be.
It is a great mistake that local reporting is
q ssoond-rate employment. It is so con-
sidered because second-rate persons so Of
ten FIJI the local desks on a daily journal
But it is in reality a most important posi-
ton. It requires tact, originality. indus
try. discretion, sObriety, good sense, intel
ligsnce, quickness. OF course every de-
partment of a we'll conducted press calls
for all these excellent traits more or less;
and, therefore, it is harder to equip a
Newspaper than to organize an army or Of
fcer q man-of war.
During the next fifty years the press will
play the most conspicuous part in public
affairs. It will be, what its sycophants
have always claimed for it, but what it has
never really been, the "fourth estate. -
Ultimately books will cease to be written.
Belles-letters will be confined to the stand
ards. The newspaper, enlarged and every
way improved, will supply the public its
daily mental food. There is little reason
TO doubt this; and, as soon as it comes to
be generally understood, ambitious young
fellows will begin to turn aside from the
old-fOgy professions and take to journalism
as their fathers took to law and physic.-
Editors will then be less rare than they are
now, and more competent. Anybody can
write. But writing is the least part of
journalism. In fact, literature and the dali
ly newspaper are only second cousin, and
the one is a sort of ''poor relation" of the
other. journalism, strictly, is the science
Of human nature; a combination Of action
and the actors art, at once a reflection and
the thing itself.
The really able journalist must therefore
be not only a man of thought, but man
of action also. The vSluptuous Ittsratsar
has No place in a modern printing Office;
for be only is useful who can work at night;
give up society; subordinate his personal
ity To his craft; consider himself, while on
duty. as a man on a voyage, bound to
serve out a certain time. A newspaper
is, indeed, ship at sea, and almost always
in a storm. The pillows of popular pas
sion are out there on every side, ssethiBg
and fOaming. Keep her steady to the
wind, and there is no danger; but it is
fearful to try to run against the current or
in the face Of the wind; and the least in
subOrdination or inebriety OF lack of skill
on the part OF officers or crew may be ia
tai.

What the Farmer Must Know.

The Rural World says:
The farmer, like the business man, must
know what he is doing he must have some
pretty decided idea of what he is to accom-
plish-in fact, be must calculate it before
hand.
He must know his soil-that of each lot !;
not only the top, but the Eub-soil.
He must know what grains and grasses
are best adapted to each.
He must know when is the best time to
work them, whether IN the fall or spring,
or whether they need summer following.
He must know the condition in which
ground mnst be. when plOWed, SO that it be
not too wet or too dry.
He must know that some grains require
earlier moving than others and what those
grains are.
lie must know how to put them in.
lie must know that it pays him to have
machinery to aid him. instead Of muscle.
lie must know about stock, and manures
and the cultivation OF trees and the small

Town and Local Agricultural soci s.

Town and Local Agricultural SoeieSSs
Local Agricultural Clubs, We believe,
are quite largely on the increase. There
are good reasons for the establishment of
these societies. They do not, of necessity
and should never interfere with the Coun-
ty and State Societies. The local society
has a good work to do In bringing together
uSjghbors with their products. There can
be no doubt that much larger number will
become interested in improved busbsndry
through these lhan through the larger So
oieties. Meetings and exhibitions should
be arranged for different seasons, not for
the autumn alone. Spring exhibitions for
the sale and exchange of seed would be
productive of much good. Sheep-shearing
festivals, milking trials, implement tests,
and other meetings, might be occasions of
great utility and interest. A fall exhibit
ton at the town center will draw out
a full representation of everything within
the borders of the town. Men who have
fine cattle can take them to the exhibition
without much exposure of the animals, or
much pecuniary loss. They may also be
brought back to their own quarters at
night. These town fairs usually draw out
a very good representation of all farm pro-
duetsf and it is not improbable that they
may gradually work into periodical mar
ksts for the sale and exchange of grain.
stock, fruits, vegetables, etc. Such fairs
are OF very great advantage in England, and
we can see no good reason why they would
not make great saving of time in the ex
change of products, prevent speculation,
regulate prices, give the farmer fairer re-
ward for his labor, and make provisions
cheaper to the consumers.

Feeding Earlv 90 c..

In some notes on the farm Of Hon. Har-
ris Lewis. of Frankfort, n. Y, President
of the Little Falls Farmers Club, By Mr..
X. A. Willard, in the Country Gentleman,
We find the following remarks on his use Of
early cut hay:
Mr.. Lewis holds that grass, all things
considered, is the best food for mileh COWS;
and that dried grass is cheaper and better
for COWS in the spring than hay and grain.
He usually commences cutting his grass in
Juns-cures it, if possible, without rain,
and so that it viii come out of the NOW
with bright green color, and with the far
GRANGE Of newly mown hay. This he uses
for cows giving milk in spring, before turu-
ing out to pasture.
He used to feed his COWS ia spring with
grains, sbip-stufs. &c.-often would be
called "high feeding"-but found it to re-
suit in various troubles and serious losses;
garget attacked the udder, ill-health pre-
vailed in various ways, and his COWS gave
out sooner than they ought. He then
changed to his present system of feeding,
and with the most happy results. His COWS
are healthy. they keep in flesh, they yield
good supply of milk. and it is done with
much less expense than the grain feeding.
His COWS to-day MAY 13tb), are in good
flesh, thrifty, healthy and strong, and yet
they have not had mouthful of grain or
any other feed than dried grass.
We have given the facts, and they may
perhaps be suggestive to those who have
been paying cut large sums for grain to
feed, and who perhaps have troubles in
their herds for which they are unable to ac-
count. If the system adopted by Mr.. Lew
is is the true one land he contends that il
isl, thea itshould be generally introduced.
To say the least, it is worth the testing.
and our stockmen and dairymen will do
well to make some provisions the coming
season for harvesting crop of grass.
