.My farm and its treasures sequeath
jointly to you as your only patrimony, /
charge You never to sell 1t, for somewhere
IN the ground, within foot OF the surface.
there are treasures buried y Thus spike n
dying sire to his sons; they concluded he
talked of money which was hidden there !;
so, after their fathers death, with unwea-
ried diligence they carefully dug every
inch Of the farm. The treasure they ex-
peeted TO find was not there, but the grotfhd
being well stirred and loosened, brought
forth 80 bountifully that il proved real
treasure. Few farmers are aware that un-
derneath their visible acres lie others equal
ly valuable. The products and profits Of
the farm can be doubled BY deep cultiya-
tion, judicious rotation and manuring, is
unquestionable. A little farm well titled
Is more pleasant and profitable than great
farm carelessly run over. Labor and in
dustry we'll applied to agriculture seldom
fail Of reward.
How TO SUCCEED IN FARMING.
The Reconstructed Farmer says: In the
first place You must calculate what il will
cost You 10 run the farm and charge the
FARM with this amount. Then calculate
what amount Of the various crops the farm
will produce under ordinary seasons, and
then value the several amounts al a medium
price and give the farm credit. If the farm
should improve by your management five
per cent, then you should give il credit foI
this, hut if by bad management your farm
should dcterioratc FIVE per cent. charge tbs
Farm with Il.
In tue second place. You should arpl,
your mind 10 the farm, and cndcavor to as
certain the cheapest, shortest. easiest, and
most profitable mode to do any and every.
thing pertaining to the farm, from th.
greatest TO the Smallest.
In the third place deal honestly an,
promptly; comply with all promises you
may make and require the same from al
with whom you may have to deal.
In the next place, rise cssly every morn
ing aud sec that your stock are propcrl,
cared for, and then place yourself wheF'
your attention and labor is most needed.
While with your hands, learn how lonl
il il required to plow and hoe row ~ vel
as an acre. 80 that il you should be callct
off 10 attend To somc minutin, then yol

fully or idlcd.
An farmers should endeayor to lear
what Is days work, if they desire 10 sue

of labor.
The freedmen who constitute our labor
ers. though ignorant as TO their best into
rests generally, are not slow TO learn wheth
er you are judge u days work or IN
derstand the best mode of management
Therefore you should by al means cndea

thing, il you DO. oftcncr than otherwise
failure Is as certain as day follows night.
Suppose you command when and how 4
feed your stock, and not attend 10 il in per
