Hints to Farmers.

1t is pretty poor practice for a larm'r to
dig and delve, tug and grub, and clear up
fifty acres of land at a cost of two thous-
and dollars, and then in the third year sur
render about a fifth of it to the brambles
and oxeyed daisies.
Poor practice to half manure, half pillow,
half seed, and half cultivate a field, and
then harvest from it less than half a crop.
To keep two inferior, scrawny, scrub
cows for dairy purposes, that give less
milk than one good one, and consume more
food than three.
To purchase in town FIVE hundred loads
of livery-stable manure, and let six hun
dred of better homemade manure run to
waste.
To attempt to fatten three hogs into one
thousand two hundred pounds of pork on
Just as much feed as would keep two nice
ly growing.
To estimate agricultural fairs as arrant
humbugs, and spend three days every
month saving the country at political meet
ings.
To depend upon borrowing your neigh
boris rakes, mowers, and all sorts of imple-
ments in haying and harvest time.
To plant out big orchard of choice fruit
trees with first thought of making mon
ey, and leave them to do or die.
1t is poor policy not to keep posted on the
market value of the products you raise, and
to allow spectators to make more money
out of your labor than you do yourself. So
take the papers.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1869-04-02
Theory and Practice.

Practical farming, (so-called) without
theory, is destined soon to be ''of the
past" alt is the boast of some. who af
feet to glory in the suficencY of practice
and decry theory, that the former is based
upon experience. which is the only safe
guide. But this is a one-sided view of
the matter. Theory is also based upon ex-
perience, if it be truly scientific. The va
garizing of an ignorant and undisciplined
mind is not theory. Theory, in the good
and proper sense, is always a deduction
from facts, the best deduction of which the
stock of facts in our possession admits. 1t
is the Interpretation of facts. It is the ex
preston of the ideas which facts awaken
when submitted TO a fertile imagination
and well balanced judgment. A scientific
theory is intended for the nearest possible
approach to the truth. Theory is confess
eddy imperfect, because our knowledge of
facts are incomplete, our mental insight
week and judgment fallible. But the
scientific theory which is framed by the
contributions of multitude of earnest

likely to be the most gifted intellect and
most skillful hands, is in these days, to a
great extent worthy of the divine truth 10
nature, which it is the cOmpletest human
conception and expression"
Science employs, in effecting it's pro-
gress, essentially the same methods that
are used by merely practical men. It's sue
cess is commonly more rapid and brilliant.
because its instruments of observation are
finer and more skillfully handled, because
its experiments move industriously and va
riedly, thus commanding a wide and more
fruitful experience, because it usually
brings more cultivatiDg Imagination, and
more disciplined judgment to bear upon
it's work. The devotion of a life to dis
covery and invention, is sure to yield great

What Every Young Man Should Do

What Every Young Man Should Do.
Every young man should make the most
of himself, intellectually, socially, morally
and physically.
He should depend upon his own efforts
to accomplish these results.
He should be willing to take advice
from those competent to give it, and to
follow such advice, unless his own judgment
OF conviction, properly founded, should
otherwise direct.
If be is unfortunate enough TO have a
rich and indulgent father, he must do the
best he can under the circumstances.
which will be to conduct himself very much
as though he had not these obstacles to
overcome.
He should remember that young men if
they live, grow old and that the habits
of youth are oftener than otherwise perpet-
uated in the mature man. Knowing this
fact, he should govern himself accordingly.
He should never be discouraged by small
beginnings, but remember that all great
results have been wrought out from appar-
rently slight causes.
He should never, under any circum-
stances be idle. II he cannot find the en-
ployment he prefers. let him come as near
his desires as pOssibIe-he will thus reach
the object of his ambition.
All young men have 'inalienable rights,
among which none is greater or more sa-
cred than the privilege to be somebody"
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1869-04-02

nually ground out to compete with them
for practice or parishes, and whose train
ing is as holplessly one-sided as their
own. 1 would qualify the professional
men who shall hencetorth be trained for a
broader and more assured usefulness than
that of their elder brethren.
New York city swarms with hungry,
needy, shiveripg, covering, bringing fell
low-mortals. all in eager, imploring. hope
less quest of something to do" To the
reproach of what passes for education, I
must say that majority Of these have had
considerable money spent in schooling
them for lives of usefulness. They are
qualified q presume) to keep books or copy
manuscripts, or teach languages, or act as
governesses, or follow some other of the
frightfully over stocked vocat1ons. But
when 1 say to one of them, 1.-THE work
you seek is positively not to be had, since
ten want to do it where one wants it done;
you must strike off into the broad, fee
country, and ask farmer after farmer to
give you work till you find it, the gene
raj response, Il know nothing of farming
strikes on my ear like a knell. Even at
seasons when the farmers were intensely
hurried by their summer harvest. and
ready to pay largely for any help that was
net hindrance, 1 have known our city tc
be thronged with weary, sad petitioners fol
connecting to do" flour current educa
ton we're not a plumber or a fraud this
could not be.-Horace Greeley, IN Hearth
and Home.
