An Accomplished Farmer.

A complete farm is very comp!i-
Gated affair, and necessarily comprises
within its boundaries many well-ful-
nished workshops, and among its labor
ers many thorough mechanics. Thus,
for the perfect development of the L.
bor-saving methods necessary to the
profitable working of a large, we'll
furnished farm, a thorough business
man and we'll 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,
a blacksmith, carpenter and wheelright,
and engineer are necessary. A well
trained herdsman and a shepherd are
requisite, in addition to the ordinary
laborers, as p)owmen, etc. On many
large estates in England and Scotland,
and on some in our own country, all
these are employed, the proprietor hay
ing a general oversight only, and inter-
fering personally in no details Com
petence in the several subordinates be-
ing required as capitalization for their
situations, their duties are properly per-
formed and a regular routine becomes
established. Now, if all these are
found requisite on large farm, where
the work is exactly similar, only differ
ing in extent, 10 that of a small farm, it
follows that small farmer, working
his own land, will succeed better, as he
knows more about all the things neces'
sary to be done.
As he will find occasion to perform
many Of these offices himself, he must
be his own business man, must 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 own accountant, or many
little losses will escape him, and in the
aggregate they will be enough to make
themselves seriousl Y felt. He must be
mechanic enough to build a shed, a hay
barrack, wagon rack, a harrow, or
sometimes a sled, or put a new tongue to
wagon; he ought to be able to
build stone fence, or lay up wall, or
should know how it ought to be done;
he should be able to cut screw on a
bolt or burr, or use coldchisel, or
splice a rope, or use hammer, and
drill and blast rock In fact there is
scarcely any knowledge either in the
arts, sciences, commerce or literature
but would be a help to farmer. A
farmer thus educated has, besides the
material advantages he enjoys, great
facility for approaching all the beauties
OF nature with which he is brought into
close daily contact, and will thus learn
10 love his profession.

THE regular State election takes place
in Kentucky on Monday, August eth.
A Governor, Lieutenant Governor, At
torney General, Auditor, Treasurer,
Superintendent OF Public instruction,
and Register Of Lands, are TO be chosen
and, of course, the whole Democratic
ticket will be elected as usual. The
struggle upon the Republican side is
merely for reduction of the conceded
Democratic majority. In the election
of members of Congress last year the
negroes in Kentucky voted for the first
time, and the Democratic majority in
the State was S3,203. If the Radicals
succeed in reducing the majority below
these figures next Monday, they will
flatter themselves that they are gaining
in popular strength. Hon. PRESTON II.
LESLIE, the present Lieutenant Cover
nor, heads the Democratic ticket, and
General JOHN NJ. HARLAN is the Re
publican nominee.

The Convention campaign is pro
crossing very favorably in all quarters
OF the State, and the indications now
are that a pretty full vote will be polled
on the Oath. The friends Of the Con,
vention should not, however, be lulled
to sleep by any feeling OF security
There can be no doubt OF the success
Of the measure if its friends exert their
strength. Arrangements must be made
in every county, in every township
throughout the State, for securing the
attendance of voters at the polls. The
question being mainly Of an impersonal
character, there being no candidates TO
be voted for, the various County CON-
mittees should take the matter in hand
and see for themselves that the vote is
brought out. 1t cannot be done with
out SOME earnest and active work.

Make Your Trees Branch Low.

Train your pear trees for garden or
field use, so that they will branch at a
distance Of one or two feet from the
ground. The advantages are easily
enumerated:
lst. 1t is easy to trim.
ID. 1t is easy to gather the fruit.
Sd. Falling fruit is little injured.
4th. All branches being sturdy, will
not be strained by over-bearing or over
weight of fruit.
9Th. Soil will be kept shaded and
moist.
9th. The trunk will be protected
from the scorching sun.
18th. The tree will grow more and
more beautiful -Hnticultluist.

Requirements ola Successful Farmer.

A man must know something about
farming before he can become success.
full. He may desire to become farmer
or gardener; but before he becomes one
he has something to learn. We are
constantly meeting men, both old and
Young, who say they would like to
become farmers. They like fresh milk,
butter and eggs, the country air, and
fresh strawb berries, Oh, yes, they like
all these good things, aud many of
them think they can be had for the
asking, no skill being required in their
production. 81 would like, says
another, Ito be a doctor or lawyer"
Well, do they become rich without
study? No; nor does any one think Of
such a thing. Yet it would be just as
foolish to think of becoming a scientific
and successful farmer without study, as
to become successful lawyer or doctor.
A love for the country is not enough Of
itself to prepare one for being farmer.
There is 10 business which require,
more thorough observance or clearer
perception of the laws Of nature than
farming, except perhaps that Of being
physician; and the two professions are
very much alike, for we must study the
laws which control life, in both. We
trim our trees and care for them, As
though they were patients under treat
ment and our knowledge Of natural
laws and principles must be our guide.
Perhaps this will account for the sue
cess OF most Of our doctors who have
become farmers and gardeners.

Within the brief period when n"'

Of railway to the East, the business IN
terests of Pittsburgh in general anu the
oil interests in particular, it seems have
received an impetus forward such as
ba, not been experienced in some years.
The Pittsburgh National Oil journal
says:
pittsburgh is the natural centre,
both geographically and commercially,
of the great petroleum oil refining in
terests, and yet, owing to the high
tariff on transportation east, the BUSH
ness has for the last three or four years
been steadily on the decline. A con-
siderable share of the refining now Il, l,e
in other places would have been done
in Pittsburgh had it enjoyed the advan-
tages afforded by competing lines OF
railway to the principal shipping ports:
Since the opening of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to Pittsburgh, by the com
pletion OF the Pittsburgh and Conneils-
Vile road, the rates on oil east has
been reduced from one dollar and thirty
five cents to eighty cents per barrel.
The oil business of Pittsburgh has
been and still is extensive in spite Of the
drawbacks imposed upon it, and
this difference in freights restores to the
city, in a great measure, the advantages
due to its central location, and, as a
consequence, insures material increase
in it's oil trade. This new departure
has stricken the letters from the trade
of Pittsburgh eastward, and we have
reason to hope that it will not be long
before the same may be said in regard
to the West. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, through their Pres
ident, have said to the people Of Pitts
bursh, We are prepared to join you in
building promptly line from Pitts
burgh to the Lakes and the great
Northwest, and we propose to subscribe
at once two millions Of dollars to the
stock of such road These are en-
couraging words-especially as it is
known that Mr.. Garrett means all tina,
he says, and possibly a little more. Lei
the citizens OF Pittsburgh and other in
terested localities respond in the same
liberal and practical manner, and but
few months will be required to put 6
new line in operation to the Lakes
Having once tasted the sweets OF rail
way competition, it should not be diff
cult to enlist the entire business inter

Science Advances.

As soon as an article purporting to be Of
utility has been tested, and its merits en-
dorsed by public opinion, Gunprincipled
parties endeavor to replenish their depleted
purses by counterfeiting, and substituting q
spurious for the genuine article. o. Some
time since, mercury, In the disguise Of pills.
powders, &c, was given for all diseases Of
the stomach and liver, while quinine was
Fl eely administered for the chiils. At
length Hostetter's Stomach Bitters made It's
advent, and an entire new system Of heal
ing was inaugurated. The beneficial effects
Of this valuable preparation were at once
acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered
to sink into that obscurity to which an en-
lightened age has consigned them. There
have been many spurious bftters palmed
upon the community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless, while
Bostetter's has proved blessing to thou

health.
For many years we have watched the
steady progress Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit

from the stomach OF q morbid nature, and
we are free to say that 1t can be relied upon
as certain relief and remedy. Its proprie-

The Clarksburg Telegraph is sorely
exercised over the apostasy Of the
Wheeling IatclEgsncsr, and administers
to that paper fatherly correction for
having forsaken ULYSSES and sworn
allegiance to Farmer GREELEY. 1t says
1--WE suppose the IntelEgsncTr endors-
es Greeley out of gratitude, for in 1869
when that paper and its satellites were
endeavoring to defeat the nomination Of
Mr.. Carlile as Minister to Stockholm,
Greeley rendered them very efficient
service in thwarting the wishes Of the
Republicans of West Virginia.
Hereabouts, a different explanation
