There is no business requiring such varied
requirements, so much knowledge, so much
good Judgment and commercial ability COM
bined, as is necessary for the thoroughly accom-
plished farmer. He stands first among the
manufacturers of the land. lie makes the
wheat and corn, the beef and mutton and pork,
the wool and fax and manufactures from
the earth, the air, the water, nearly all we eat
and wear and this is not only done by farm
crs as a class, but almost every one produces
many if not all of these articles
The manufacturer usually confines his la
bors to the production Of one article, but the
farmer is by necessity compelled to make
many If he would make grain, he must also
make beef or butter and cheese, or mutton
and WOOL Hence the necessity Of extensive
knowledge. It is an easy matter for the manu-
facturer to ascertain how much wool will make
a yard Of cloth Of certain description, and
what will be its cost but il is not so easy for
the farmer to ascertain how much grass, or
hay. or grain, will make a pound Of wool.
The manufacturer can test new machine and
ascertain by a few simple trials whether it
will manufacture the desired article cheaper
or better than the old one but to ascertain
how pound of beef can be made the cheap.
est, what machine will convert hay into rich
cheese in the cheapest and best manner, is a
matter requiring good deal more care aud
skill.
Among his varied requirements the farmer
should possess a knowledge Of animal ply.
sioogy, so as to be enabled to keep his stock
in health and administer proper remedies in
case of sickness. Vegetable physiology, too
must not be overlooked. Every day during
the growing season, the farmer performs work
for the growth of his crops, founded on the
known laws which govern vegetable life. En-
tomology is a science which the farmer is com.
PEELED to study to some extent and often much
more perhaps than he desires but the more he
does so, the better he is fitted to wage sue.
cessful war against thousands Of destructive
foes
In addition to all this, the farmer must be
merchant, for he must sell as well as manu-
facture. lie must in some measure take ad
vantage of the rise and fall of prices, selec
the best time for selling and the best market
or, after all his toll and anxiety, he may fine
but poor return.
When We contemplate this subject a
which we have merely glanced, in all it
bearings, we are led to excaim, Who is com
petent to this work. Heartily do we pit,
those who think farming furnishes no scope
for the exercise of knowledge or ability. L
this opinion we're entertained only by thos'
engaged in other pursuits, it would be Of NJ
serious consequence but we judge that man.
farmers have themselves imbibed such un
founded and unjust opinions in regard to thei
calling, and where this is the case there is al
end to all improvement. A man must hav

citation of its Importance, and the means an

Worms in Horses.

Intestinal worms are parasites which de-

ing, which causes the horse TO rub his upper
lip against the manger or on the wall some.
times there is considerable itching about the
rectum, which is indicated by the horses rub
bling his tail or rump against anything within
reach. The symptoms mentioned are such as
would cause one to suspect the existence OIL
worms, but it is only when they appear
among the dung voided by the horse that We
can speak with certainty on the nature Of the
disease. At later period and especially
when the worms have developed in great
numbers, the symptoms are very much aggra
waited, and the horse becomes emacated and
suffers occasionally from colicky pains; the
flank is tucked up, the inside of the eyelidi
is pale, he walks with difficulty, and fata
termination will sometimes ensue. A dose o.
aloes "A or drachms) may be given, which
has often the effect Of expelling worms with
out having recourse to further treatment. II
this fails, divide six ounces Of iron Filings
among twelve balls, and give one every
morning until they are finished, and then
give dose Of aloes, which will cause the ex.
pulsion Of any worms which remain in the
horses ntestines.-Seottih Farmer.

Hints about Drainage for Farmers

The drains may usually be best made at a
general depth Of four feet, and at intervals of
forty feet. The best direction for them to
follow is straight down the steepest slope of
the land-not obliquely down. 1t may be
necessary to devate q little from this course
in order to preserve a tolerable uniformity of
direction that is, to make the lines as nearly
parallel as due observance Of the steepest
fall will allow. 1t is in deciding to what ex-
tent on irregular laud the direct fall and the
parallelism Of the lines shall give way to each
other that the greatest need for skilled super
intendence exists. The parallel lines are the
cheapest, and the direct descent is the best !;
yet on land which does not slope regularly
it is impossible to follow both requirements,
and the compromise between the two must be
made with some judgment. However, the
books Of instruction are tolerably explicit on
this point, and there is no difficulty in the
matter that may not be overcome by an intel.
ligent farmer. 1t takes about 1000 feet Of
tiles to drain an acre, and the ditching will
not vary much from 60 rods to the acre. II
the cost Of the tile, including transportation
is S25 per l000 and the cost Of ditching tile
laying and back-flling is so cents per rod
the cost will be from $50 to $50 per acre .
small allowance being made for the extra cos
Of large tiles for main drains-an item whicl
will vary, of course, with the varying irregu
larity Of the land. On land of uniform slop
the work should be done without difficulty an,
without unusual cost. Any drains not NOR
than 1000 feet in length may be laid entirel
with / inch tiles if collars are used, or !
inch tiles without collars. The sizes require
for mains may be regulated by the folowin
schedules 1000 feet Of lateral drains may b
received by q inch mains, and these will at
swer until the drains supplying them amour
to say 1000 feet in length. Between 700
feet and 10000 feet 81 inch tiles should b
used. The drainage of 100 acres will not r,
qure an outlet Of more than eight inches i
diameter. Large tile are more costly in pre-
portion to their size than smaller ones, and
is folly to order larger ones than are required
This is often done by men who think that if
small tile is good large one is better-a ia
lacy, because it is best to so concentrate III
flow within small pipe as to increase il
force aud enable it to sweep away any obstrut
tons that may lodge in the drain. A larg
drain may be entirely silted up under flo
OF water that would keep a smaller one ell
tirely clear. Draining has been rendere
cheaper and better by recent inventions. IN

Harvesting and storing Roots.

These crops are among the latest which
are harvested in the fall They continue to
grow until quite severe cold weather, the
moist, cool months Of autumn being iayora-
BILE to their development The last Of Octo-
Der, and first half of November is the time
when they should be taken from the ground.
Beets, if large and long, are more easily lift
ed by using pillow. They should be thrown
together in rows on the top Of the ground,
and the tops clipped with a knife, care being
taken not to cut the crowns Of the roots as
such injury induces decay The same care
should be exercised with other varieties OF
roots When the tops are removed and the
roots are dry, place them in piles to sweat,
before being taken to the cellar. If they are
to be wintered in pits-and that is very
good way Of keeping them-they can be piled
for sweating where they are to be covered.
If well dried by the sun they can be covered
without delay first with a thick coat Of straw,
and then with sufficient earth to prevent ireez-
ing in the winter. On suitable locations the
pit can be excayated eighteen inches or two
feet, but if there is danger Of water standing
in the pit, it should not be sunk below the
surface. Roots stored in this manner will
keep fresher than in cellar, and are ready
for use as soon as the frost draws out in the
spring At that season the covering should
be removed early, as the roots throw out a
growth very quickly when the temperature
rises Rural Home.
