CULTIVATION OOlL-lH OIUol
to obtain the greatest degree of sue
cess in the cultivation of the soil, and
to reap the richest harvest, skilled
labor must be employed. The popu-
lar idea has been that any man, with
a fair intellect, could manage farm
and make it produce to its fullest ex-
tent, without any study of principles,
and with the smallest degree of ex-
perience. But in order to excel in
any branch of business in general,
and farming in particular, he must
become thorough master of that
particular branch of business.
The prominent evil of our popula-
ton, under free government, is
that of self-conceit, under the in
huenee of which the feeling is en-
gendered that we "known it ALL"
without real theory or practice. 1t
is fact we'll understood among good
farmers, that the soil yields returns
in proportion to the skill with which
it is cultivated. Ten acres of land,
under the skillful culture of an ac-
complished farmer, are frequently
made to produce more than a hun
dred, when badly managed and when
'but imperfectly cultivated,
Many who engage in farming, labor
under the impression that while most
occupations require a preparatory
apprenticeship, training and educa-
ton, that of farming can be success
fully pursued without such prepare
ton. The fact is, there are few
branches of business in which a
thorough training and practical edu-
cation is of more utility than is that
of cultivating the soil. Practice and
experience are essential, and yet
these will not warrant success with
out Systematically arranged and will
mature plans, in the arrangement of
which there is ample room for exer-
cising the best and most cultivated
Judgment. Nor will practice make
perfect" in farming, unless we render
ourselves familiar with the experience
Of others, as the term of mans exis-
tence in this life is too limited to al
low him to conduct sufficient num-
Der of experiments to arrive at cor
rect conclusions upon all subjects
which come to him for his considera-
ton and decilion.
The farmer should thoroughly I'M
derstand the subject of draining,
which is at the foundation; the most
economical and efficient method of
enriching and otherwise fertilizing
the soil, as decided by the experience
OF others; carefully study the subjects
OF breeding and managing all kinds
Of farm stock; the relative merits of
different kinds of stock, and the COM
paratlve profits that may be derived
from keeping them; the advantage of
change of seeds, and the cultivation
OF different varieties of grain, root
crops, and garden vegetables; the
most modern and improved farm
implements; farm buildings and rural
architecture; the subject of small
fruits and orchards; and the best
mode and depth of blowing and
otherwise disintegrating the soil. No
branch of business gives a wider
scope to the active powers of the
mind, or demands closer and more
exact thought National Agricul-
turist.

DIED

SARAH HORTENSE, infant daughter
of Florida Calvit and Henry Robinson,
aged ten months.
Weep not for those whom the veil of the
tomb
In life's happy morning Las hid from
our eyes,
Ere sin threw blight DER the spirits
young bloom,
Or earth had profaned what was born
for the skies.
Death chilled the fair fountain ere sorrow
had stained it
Weep not for her-in her spring time she
flew
To that land where the wings of the
soul are unfur!ed,
And now like a star beyond evenings cold
dow,
Looks radiantly down on the tears of
this world,

NATURES PRESCRIPTION
~ When Nature produces great
