An Accomplished Farmer.

A COMPLETE farm is a very complicated
affair, and necessarily comprises within its
boundaries many well-furnished work
shops, and among its laborers many thor
ough mechanics Thus, for the perfect
developement of the labor saving methods
necessary to the profitable working of a
large, well-furnished farm, a thorough
business man and well-educated farmer, as
head manager, as well as an accountant or
bookkeeper, well versed in markets and
commercial matters, finance included, is
needed. Then a gardener and florist, n
blacksmith, carpenter and whe' fright, and
engineer are necessary. A well trained
herdsman and shepherd are requisite, in
addition to the ordinary laborers, as plow-
men, etc. On many large estat, S in Eng
land and Scotland, as well as some in our
own country, all these are employed. the
proprietor having a general oversight
only, and interfering personally in no de
tails. Competence in the several subordin-
ates being required as a qualification for
their situations, their duties are properly
performed and a regular routine becomes
established. Now, if all these are found
requisite on large farm, where the work
is exactly similar, only differing in extent,
to that of a small farm, it follows that a
small farmer, working his own land, will
succeed better, as he knows more about all
things necessary to be done
As he will find occasion to perform
many of these offices himself, he must be
his own business man, lay out his work
and be competent to command his hired
help so that he may use their services to
the best advantage. He must be his OWE
accountant, or many little losses will es
cape him, and in the aggregate they will
be enough to make themselves seriously
felt. He must be mechanic enough tC
build shed, hay barrack, a wagon-rack
or sometimes a sled, or put new tongue
to wagon; he ought to be able to builC
a stone fence or lay up wall, or should
know how it ought to be done; he shoulC
be able to cut screw on bolt or a burr
or use cold -chisel, or splice a rope, o.
use hammer, and drill and blast rock
In fact, there is scarcely any knowledge
either in the arts, sciences, commerce o.
literature, but would be help to farmer
A farmer thus educated has, besides tn
material advantages he enjoys, a great ia
cility for enjoying the beauties of natur
with which he is brought into close ant
daily contact, and will thus learn to Low
his profession-Hearth and Home.

The Voice Of True Wisdom.

in farewell address to his ccuntrymen,
George Washington gave advice which on
every subject of public policy to which it
relates can be safely followed during all
time. His position upon financial matters
is particularly applicable to this era as
solemn warning against the evils of an eX-
elusive credit system. The way to main-
tain thespuhlic credit, he says, is to use
it as sparingly as possible. avoiding occa-
sions for expense by cultivating peace" !"
but remembering that timely disburse-
ments to prepare for danger frequently pre-
vent much greater disbursements to repel
it, avoiding likewise the accumulation
of debt, not only by stunning occasions
for expense, but by vigorous exertions In
time of peace to discharge the debts that
unavoidable wars have occasioned, not un-
generously throwing upon posterity the
burden which we ourselves ought to bear" I"
We have in these brief extracts the
whole keynote of the policy of the present
administration. 1t is carrying into prac
tice the precepts of Washington-his last
parting admonition to his countrymen
When it has had occasion for credit it has
fortified the country by "using it sparing-
ly," by avoiding occasions of expense,
" sacrediy cherishing the public credit,
and especially in making vigorous exer-
tions" to discharge the debt, so as to
not ungenerously throw its chief burthen
on posterity" How different all this
sounds from the advice of the Tammany
Democracy! How different the practice
it urges from the present practice! The
thought of Reputation in any form is
secuted as beneath the dignity of a nation
The payment of the public debt by the
century that incurs it, instead of scheming
to perpetuate it under the pretence that a
nation can borrow money cheaply, when
the interest is perpetual drain on its In
dustry, burdening it with multitudes Of
officials, and devouring it with taxes. The
ungenerous scheme of showing over the
whole of such burdens from one genera
tion on to another, is pointedly rebuked
In fact the whole life and career of Wash
ington was rebuke to sordid politicians
To be safe, the people must adhere to it
teachings. History contains no record o
man who gave such wise and reliable ad
vice. applicable to the whole future of hi
country-Chicdgo Post.

Rich for a Moment.

AN English magazine, the Friendlu
Visitor, recently published the following:
The ship " Britannia" which struck on
the rocks off the coast of Brazil, had on
board large quantity of Spanish dollars
as freight. They were packed in barrels,
and as soon as the ship struck, number
of these barrels were brought on deck, in
the hope that some of them might be
saved; but soon it was discovered that the
vessel was sinking so very fast, that the
only hope for the crew was in taking at
once to the boats. The last boat was about
to push off, when a midshipman rushed
back to see if any one was still on board.
To his surprise, there sat man on deck
with hatchet in his hand, with which he
had broken open several of the casks. the
contents of which he was now heaping up
about hin.
"What are you doing2" shouted the
youth. Escape for your lifel Don't you
know the ship is fast going to pieces? ?'
"The ship may" said the man; 81 have
lived poor wretch all my life, and / am
determined to die rich" In vain the other
called him a mailman, an idiot. He was
answered only by flourish of the hatchet
and satisfied nod toward the glittering
heaps. 81 tell you the ship can't hold to-
gether another momentl" screamed the
midshipman, looking back at him from the
vessels edge. "Quick, you can be saved /"

Cancer Cure.

SPEAKING of the alleged new cancer
cure, tine Scientific American says:
If, as is claimed. the plant called "cun
durango is specific for cancer, the
world has received blessing in the dis
covery which will rank with the introduc-
ton of anesthesia in surgery. Where
there is such room for skepticism, we may
be pardoned some doubts that the new
remedy is all that is claimed. If it be,
however, the powerful specific alleged, it
will outlive our doubts, and establish itself
triumphantly. In disease SO hopeless,
people will catch even at the shadows of
hope, and SO the new remedy will be sure
to have ample trial.
The story is that an Indian woman in a
province of Ecquador, attempting to
poison her husband by the use of this
plant, cured him of cancer of long stand
ing. This fact having become known to

Pasturing Meadows, or Young Glover,

For want Insufficient pasture, cattle and
horses are often turned into the mown
meadows, or stubbles that have been seed
ed with clover. This is, to say the least, in
judicious. Generally dry weather occurs
after harvest, during which - he clover and
grass have struggle to maintain their
existence, the young clover plants es-
pecially suffering from the heat and
drouth. Possibly for some weeks the
principal dependence of the meadows for
moisture is the nightly dews. If the leaves
are allowed to be eaten of, this mode of
supply is arrested, by depriving the roots
of the shade which they would have af-
forded. Only weak growth can then be
made, many plants will be totally destroy
ed, and when the fall rains occur, followed
by nightly frosts, the unsheltered roots are
thrown out by thousands. A promising
piece of young clover may thus be COM
pletely ruined and the next years supply
of hay be seriously curtailed. The small
quantity of feed thus gained is dearly pur-
chased. The life of the meadows is con-
sumed and their existence threatened
We are aware of the great temptation
there Is to turn stock on TO the aftermath
and stubbles, but, unless in the very rare
cases where the soil is rich and the growth
Is too heavy to be eaten nearly bare, it
would be great saving of money in the
end to hire pasture, buy feed, or sell the
surplus stock which cannot otherwise be
fed at home. On many farms, had this
course been adopted for one season, the re-
sources for feeding in after years would
have been doubled; but by carrying too
much stock on the fields during the
fall months, they were eaten off too
closely to stand the winter, and were too
seriously injured to fully recover. 1t is
becoming more apparent each year, that
more stock must be fed on Eastern farms,
nay, on many Western farms, too, or their
fertiht, cannot be maintained; but it is
bad policy to keep too many at the COM
moncement, before the means of feeding
have become equal to the demand. 1t is
something like man living upon his cap
ital, instead of upon the interest of it,
each year; in the one case he becomes
! poorer by mere ill judged use of his means,
which, by proper husbanding, IN the other
case would keep him by its income, aud
! itself remain intact.
1t is a question worth consideration,
whether it would not be wise to largely
reduce pasturing stock; whether money
could not be made by selling off, in the
spring, the bulk of the stock usually pas
tured, and moving, or otherwise using the
land to produce feed for keeping stock
during the winter, which should be pur-
chased in the fall, by which means more
manure would be made, the diff renee in
the values of stock at these different sea-
sons saved, and all temptation to pasture
moving lands, or young grass or clover
fields, removed.-Amertcan Agriculturist

Feeding Fowls.

DoN'T keep food always by your poultry,
because, if laying fowls, they are made
too fat, and if fattening ones, not fat
enough. To fatten poultry, feed three
times in twenty four hours all they will
eat, and remove all they leave, and they
will eat more than when cloyed and dis
gusted by the constant presence of food.
To keep layers in proper condition, feed
twice or thrice daily a regular ration, but
not as much as they will eat. Some say
feed as long as they will run for what ou
throw to them and eat greedily, but thati is
not right, for they viii get too fat unless
they are laying freely. They will show
eagerness about as long as they can swal-
low, and will scramble for what you give
them until, in their rivalry, they stuff and
cram themselves, week after week, and be-
come a mass of fat, and yet they still act,
at feeding time, as if they were half
/ starved. Feed your regular laying stock
moderately, and be governed by their state
of flesh rather than by their greed. Take
a few fowls from the perch at night, occa-
sionally, to test their weight, and little
practice will enable you To quickly decide
on the condition of the flock. Increase
the ration as the yield of eggs increases,
and so long as the laying keeps pace with
the diet, you may give rich and stimulat
ing feed IN any quantity. Feed the select
breeding stock more sparingly than the
rest of the layers, so as to give only 6
moderate yield of eggs for Matching pur
poses; for if you promote great prolific
ness in the parents the result will be weak
ness in the progeny. Chickens, during
the period of their rapid growth, should
be fed very often, with a variety, and al
they will eat. While they are growing
there is no danger of overfeeding if they
are fed frequently and allowed perfect free
dom, so that they may take the exercise
that is Indispensable to their thrift

Biliousness and Indigestion.

These two complaints are more general at this
season of the year than at almost any other. They
are closely akin; for biliOusness always involves
an impaired digestion, and indigestion is neces-
sarily accompaniment of a disordered or torpid
liver. Happy the man or woman who can boast
of stomach that has never felt the horrors of dys
pepsia and to whom that great secretive agent,
the liver, has never given pain or trouble. Not
one in thousand can lay claim TO entire immunity
from irregularity in these organs. How, then,
shall they be regulatedf Not by powerful cathar-
tics, alternated with ordinary stimuants, but by a
medical invigorant, like Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which combine in due proportion the tonic
and the Alternative principle. Wherever there is a
church, school-house, and a general store, this
famous medicine may be procured. No village
merchant finds 1t prudent to be without it, for it is
inquired for every day by every class. The work
ingman buys because it increases his capacity for
toll, and is followed by reaction. The effect OF
the salubrious roots, herbs. etc ofwhch II is COM
posed, diffused through his system 6y the pure
stimuIant which forms the basis of the Bitters,
most healthful and inyigorating. The scholar,
the merchant, and, in fact, q i men whose minds
or bodies, or both, are in constant exercise, will
derive benefit from It's use. To persons of seden
tary habits il supplies, in some measure, that &C
tivty in the circulation which is obtained by phys
cal exertion and is the best known remedy for con
stipation.
