importance of EsrtiliIiug our Land.
THE only source Of profit to the far
mcr is the fertility of his land. The
degree of fertility Is the measure of
profit, all things else being equal. This
proposition Is so perfectly self evident
and so generally recognized as being
true, that argument to impress it upon
our farmers should be unnecessary. Yet
where will you find in this great agri.
cultural community the evidence that
this truth is appreciated Are the far
mers of Westmoreland county reim-
bursed for the capital aud labor bestow-
ed upon the cultivation of their farms /?
Certainly not adequately. II is the
general belief that it don't pee. Hence
our farmers and their SONS avail them
selves ofevery opportunity to abandon
their business and embark in other pur-
suits.
The reason for all this is the porerty
of our farms. If the farmer could real
ize as large n remuneration for his time
and money in farming as in any other
way, he would continue to farm-his
ONi' NpNiu lNiiiuiii NOllltlltthlN WIN
him, and help him. Can this be done ?
Certainly it can. Increase the fertility
of your farms and it is done, provided
good cultivation follows.
1t needs no argument to convince any
person that liberal applications of ma
nure TO land will increase the amount of
our crops, and the opposite of the pro-
position, is just as evident, viz: con-
tinued cropping without manuring will
exhaust the land and result finally in
utter unproductiveness. 1t certainly
needs no argument to convince any far
mer that there is no business more
profitable than farming when the aver
age annual Gro D Of wheat per acre reach
es 25 bushels, Sne other kinds of grain
in proportion, or when the average an
nual yield of hay per acre reaches three
tons. Can this be done in Westmoreland
county? We know it has been done by
some OF our farmers who are liberal in
the use of fertilizers and careful in the
cultivation of their land, and we are
compelled to believe it can be done by
all our farmers by resorting to the same
means. We cannot of course designate
theparticular means and methods which
will result most successfully in all our
varied soils, but we can say safely that
the use of every description.of animal
and vegetable matter will increase the
fertility of land. Experience has de-
monstrated that the application of lime
to any of our soils long under cultiva-
tion' largely increases their productive
ness. There is, however, nothing SO ef-
fectual in producing'good crops as barn
yard manure. 1t never fails to reward
the farmer largely, whether applied to
the heavy clay land Of our valleys, or
the lighter soils of our hills. 10
its production we recommend our fnr-
mers to bend all their energies. How
this can be best done we will endeavor
to show in succeeding numbers OF our
paper. GreenSJuTg Democrat.

How to Govern Children.

The EpiseOpaIiaR, after showing what
family government is not, goes on to say:
But it is to watch anxiOusly for the
first risings of sin, and to repress them (;
to counteraet the earliest workings of
selfshness; to repress the first beginnings
of rebellion against rightful authority /;
to teach an implicit and unquestioning
and cheerful obedience to the will of the
parent, as the best preparation for flu
ture allegiance to the requirements of
the civil magistrate, and the laws of the
great Ruler and Father in heaven.
1t is to punish fault because it is a
fault, because it is sinful and contrary to
the command of God, without reference
to whether it may or may not have been
productive of immediate injury to the
parent or others.
1t is to reprove with calmness and com
posure, and not with angry irritation-in
a few words, fifty chosen, and not with a
torrent of abuse; to punish as often as
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1868-12-30
Laying Up for Children.

Parental affection naturally inquiries
what it can best do for the welfare of
its children in future years, and when the
bosom which now throbs with love to its
offspring shall be cold in death. Many
plans are laid, and many days and hours
of anxious solicitude are spent in con-
irving ways and means of rendering
children prosperous and happy in future
life. But parents are not always wise in
the provisions which they seek to make
for their children; nor do they always
seek direction and counsel from God in
this matter. The best Inheritance for
children, beyond all contradiction, is true
piety towards God-the salutary truths
and principles of religion, laid up in the
hearts of children good education
good and virtuous habits, unbending prin
ciples of moral conduct, the fear of God,
and the hope of heaven. This is the
best inheritance for children, which all
parents should be most anxious to lay up
for them.
Many an unwise parent works hard,
and lives sparingly all his life, for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it is
called. Setting young man ahOat with
money left him by his relatives is like
tying bladders under the arms Of one
who cannot swim; ten chances TO one he
will lose his bladders and 60 to the bot
tom. Teach him to swim, and he will
not need bladders.
Give your child a sound education.
See to it that his morals are pure, his
mind cultivated, and his whole nature
made subservient to the laws which gov

The earlier you teach him to depend
upon his own resources, and the blessing
of God, the better.
