FARMING.

For a man who is thoroughly in
earnest, farming offers a grand field
for effort ;fbut the man who is only
half in earnest, who thinks that costly
barns, imported stock and a nicely
rolled lawn, are the great objects of at
tainment, may accomplish pretty re-
suits, but they viii be small ones. So
the oIGJetdRte farmer, who has smat-
tering of science, whose head is filled
with nostrums, who thinks his salts
viii do it all, who doses his crops now
to feebleness and now to an unnatural
6xuberance, who daWdIes over his fer
mentations while the neighbors' oxen
are breaking into his rye field, with no
managing capacity, no breadth of vis-
ion, who sends two men to accomplish
the work of one-let such a man give
up all hope of making farming lucra-
tive pursuit. But if a man, as we said
be thoroughly in earnest If he have
the sagacity 60 see all over his farm !;
to systematize his labor, to carry out
his plans punetually and thoroughly;
if he is not above economies, nor heed
less of the teachings of science, nor un-
obseryant of progress elsewhere, nor
negleetful Of such opportunities as
were the Yale Agricultural Lectures
let him work, for he will have his re-
ward. But even such one will never
come to his "four-in-hand," :" except
they be colts of his own raising or 10
private concerts in his own grounds,
except what birds NAKED. q. Mitch
