A MODEL FARMER.

Prof. Porter, of Newark, is one OF those
noble specimens of gentleman farmer who'
combining industry with practical skill and
thorough knowledge Of agricultural sci
ence, II axes everything about him mister
to IFS own success, and turns pleasure into
profit and ultimate wealth through the
channels OF well applied industry. Although
the President and controlling sliIit of one
OF tie finest educational institutions in Dela-
ware, i'm institution whose great prosperity
through many years past attesis the assidu-
itY aud efficiency Of its energetic proprietor,
lie nevertheless finds time, alter his daily
soil IN the school room, 10 step into his well
planted and thrifty fields, aud there, in the
capacity Of a farmer, iccupeiate his exhaust
ed mental powers, by dcvoiiug himself per
sonally 10 the more active physical pursuits
Of farm lille.
Under Lis experimenting care lie Las thus
secured Il valuable farm, which is known by
those WHO have witnessed its productiyeness
as the 'model mrm" Of the county. Every
thing q grown to The fullest possible reliec-
tiou under his hand, and all the result of a
few properly spent daily leisure hours.
His vineyard is especially attractive and
1ouisng. A sample his Concord table
grapts, which he kindly sent US few days
ago, show what can he done in grape culture,
when the proper effort is applied. These
grapes have acquired such celebrity here
about HAT they are eagerly sought alter by
our frsl-eluss confectionery establishments,
and the first ol the season. year after year,
from Prof. Poitcr's vines, are seen hanging
in the windows of Mr.. George II. Robinson,
Miss Slack and others, in large, full, fine,
luscious clusters, tempting the palales and
opening the purses oi many, who readily
purchase them at good prices.
Prot. Porter belongs 10 a class of persons
who never lire in their habits of industry.
Always weaiug Il bland, open, pleasant
couuienance, he throws eheerlulness all
around lin, and makes ii irksome for a
dronc or idIcr 10 remain long within the
circle Of lis movements. He is a man oil
bu'iuess, gentleman ol genial manners,
and an instructor Of high intellectual attain
ments. lie Is cminently worthy of the popu.
hlity he enjoys aud the esteem in which he
is held by lis neighhols and the community
generally.

II is seen by this table that the trading
centres and the specie producing States bear
a tax out Of all proportion to and very much
greater than the agricultural sections OF tho
country. The State OF New York is SO OF
per head of the population, while in this city
it would reach many times over that per
centage; in Massachusetts 1t is 81 II per
head, in California, SO 81, aud in Nevada,
SIT N. The tax per head in the agricultural
States and sections is insignificant compared
with the above. For example, in Indiana
it is only forty-three cents; in Ohio, ninety
two cents; Wisconsin, forty-eight cents;
Iowa, forty -one cents, and so on throughout.
Yet there is no class of the community better
of or more independent than the planters,
farmers and agrcullmists generally. The
truth is they have many ways OF evading the
TAX, while clerks and all others with fixed
salary, as well as professional and small
business men, have to pay TO the last cent
The tax bears very heavy Oh these classes
and makes an invidious and oppressive dis
tlnction against them and in favor OF the ag
ricultuiisis and capitalists. In any reform
oil our revenue system this income tax shoulC
he one of the first TO bc abolished and WI
hope Congress will turn ills attention 10 the
matter during its next session.
