The following article to which we in

the American Agricplturia for this
month
1t is a m-tter of certainty, and we new
er vet met faruer who did not admit it,
that stock raising is the most important
branch of farmers business. Ii Is tho
life-blood of the farm. Then it is great
point to have stock that will bring in the
most money at least cost. This can only
be done by improving the common native
stock by the means oe pure blood male
animals. These cost money, and few far-
mers have sufficient stock to need for their
own use the entire services of such an ami

jointly, may purchase an animal, or set
of them. as bull, boar, and ram, for say
81 900, whose services will repay the cost
in a single year, and raise in few years
the character of tho stock in n whole
township We know of an instance where
the introduction of a..hcrd of Jersey cat
tie into a county, in five years led to the
discrimination of the stock all through IL.
and the increase, of course, now is in
mach greater ratio than in the first five
years. We know that already the butter
in that particular district has shown a
marked improvement, and that the store.
keepers in the different villages are in col
sequence beginning to grade the butter.
Now, this is an important thing, as far
mer who produces a superior article likes
to know that he gets a higher price than
is brought by lardy, greasy one. and
that all the butter from various dairics il
not dumped together. Again, in hogs an
Improvement is much needed. We want

into pork any time after three or four
months. An Essex or Berkshire boar
would bring such stock, and five farmers

A Mothers LSVe.

Happy ishe who knows mothers love!
What is p,srcl The patriot expects
fame, the friend sympathy, and the love
pleasure. Even religion, while she waters
her faith with tears, looks forward to the
best of her labors and her love. But
maternal affection springs from the breast
uninvoked by the wand of hope, unadul-
terated by the touch of interest. Its OBJ
jects are the weak and woeful. 1t haunts
the cradle of infantile pain, or hovers near
the couch of the faint and the forsaken.
It's sweetest smiles break through the
clouds of misfortune, and its gentlest
tones rise amid the sighs of suffering and
of sorrow. 1t is limpid and lovely flow
of feeling which gushes from tie fountain
head of purity; and courses the heart
through selfish designs and sordid passions,
immingling and unsullied.
What is 50 .frm2 Time and misfortune,
penury and persecution, hatred and in
fanny, may roll their dark waves success
sively over it,-and still it smiles un-

of fortune, opulence and pride. power and
splendour, may WOO her-and yet she is
unmoved a mother cloves and loves for
ever"
Whot is so faithful From infacy to
age {" through good report and through
evil report" the dews of maternal affec-
tion are shed upon the soul. When heart
stricken and abandoned when branded by
shame and followed by scorn, her arms
are still open-her breast is still kind.
Through every trial that love Will follow

disease, smooth the pillow Of pain and
moisten the bed of death!

EDEN's RIDGE, Jan. s, 1872.

MEssRS. EDITORS Il have often no.
ticed in papers published in this part OF
the country, articles on agriculture, and
they are almost always quoted from pa
pers published in latitudes very different
from our own; and consequently insult
ed to us.
As no one else is writing on the subject,
L propose through your columns to give a
few hints to farmers. 1 will begin with
clover:
it is often asked why don't you clover
your land? and almost always answered,
81 am not able yet, but know it ought to
be DONE" Now a merchant had as we'll
say that he cannot pay the Railroad
freight, she is not able" and hire his goods
brous int from Lynchburg in road wagons
as was the custom before the Iron Horse
snorted through the country.
A man had as well say she is not able"
to have a sack large enough to take full
turn to mill, and use block of wood IN
one end to balance his half tnrn. If it
pays better to clover your land than not
you are certainly able, and L wish to show
in my next that it pays. Let me say be-
fore concluding, buy your seed early and
make arrangements to farm properly
Clover seed is plentiful and cheap this
year.
Now let me tell you who l am. I was
born and raised in f. Tenn, and still
live here; have been a farmer on small
scale for near forty years. and feed deeply
interested in the farmers of my own loved
land. o. w.F.P.

The Press.

Speaking of the power of the printing
press, Rev. DIR. Chaplin said:
Il love to hear the rumbling of the
power press better than the rattle and
roar of artillery. 1t is silently attacking
and yanquishing the Maiakoffs of voice
and the Redams of evil; and its parallels
and approaches cannot be resisted | like
the click of the type in the composing
stick of the compositor better than the
click of the musket in the hands of the
soldier. 1t bears a leaden messenger of
deadlier power. of subimer force, and OF
surer aim, which will hit its mark, though
