Farmers Visiting Farms.

This is one Of the most useful employmonts
farmer can be engaged in II is getting
the necessary knowledge for his business
Not only the best farms, but the poorest also
may be visited with advantage An eminent
farmer once said he never visited a farm, of
whatever character, but he found something
useful to him.
mans failures are instructive as well as
his success. To know what to avoid is often
very important. 1t is always to be regarded,
as in its exercise the closest Judgment is often
required. What We have about us, what we
see, instructs rs, whether at home or abroad
At home il is Of the most importance This
is especially so with farming. Our land aG-
joining our neighbor's comes much under the
same conditions for success. What grains
will do best on such and such soils; what
grass, what iruit--fruit especially-as local..
ty has a decisive influence on the many va
reties-all this is important and must be
tested isso important that is can hardlybe
oyerestimated, Our neighbor tests it for US
we need then but engage in it, avoiding the
failures, and securing the success.
We should make this a business take
pains to do it make it as regularly part
OF farming as sowing and saving manure.
Direction must always preoede everything
aud this comes exactly under this head Far
mers are always willing to communicate
and man can see for hmself--he needs but
keep his eyes open. How much benefit has
resulted from an observation of John John !
ston's mode Of farming} The whole country
has been benefited, more Or less, by his system
Of drainage, his mode Of raising wheat and
'ther grains, and his feeding Of sheep and
,attle on the farm. And there are others
Ilmost every neighborhood has them. And |
We have all kinds Of success and non-suceess.
