There is wisdom in this: but remember
that the kind of food given her is a most
important consideration. The le.us can

NUMBER So
Why our Crops are net Better:

A 4ery sensible writer in the Nash
vile Union and An,erican suggests tho
following as leading causes why our
crops are not better aud the farmer more
prosperous i:
First. because, chief in the list, is our
slachness. "He becomcth poor that deal
eth with slack hand" says Solomon.
A good school can be obtained only by
a thorough teacher at its head, who
stimulates the children to thoroughness
in all they do. Reflection and observa-
tion will convince all that every vaiua-
BILE acquisition is the product Of no slack
hand 1 am fully persuaded that our
soil will and ought to be made to pro-
duce at least thrice its present average
yield. The way to make do so it is to
plant but half the quantity, and begin by
thoroughly preparing, euriching and
generally breaking aud subsoiling the
fall before the seed are to be sown. If
impossible to manure, sensible farmer
will learn the nature Of his soil and
plant that which will best thrive there
on.
A second cause of poor crops is, l
think, late planting. The Northern
farmer regards it as a great mishap if
his corn and wheat are not sowu within
week after the frost is fairly out of
the ground The Southern farmer should
regard it likewise, not because Of short
season, but because of drought. 1 cam
not question that the corn crop of this
whole section of country was reduced
fully one, third by inattention last spring
to this important item.
Again. Our farming implements are
generally behind the age. Our ploughs
go in the furrow rusty, dull, and niis-
shapen They are often drawn Nlazily
along 40 animal wliich ought never

farmer. It were fhe .sas u sss.s
mechanic to cconomize on the first
cost of his tools by picking up at half
price rusty saw here, a dull jack
plane there, and broken chiseI yonder;
and equally so for farmer to put up
with poor tools or poor stock. Better
have two good strong horses than four
poor weak ones.
The last cause which cuts down our
harvest that will here mention is poor
sced If it pay-and it surely does-to
invest thousands in animals for breeding
purposes, will it not pay as we'll to get
good seed? Buy at home if possible,
abroad Unnecessary Tricky advertisers
and dealers are, of course, constantly
before the people trying to get large
prices for worthless seed, and we should
use, therefore, the more care to get
genuine article. twill never do to fall
behind in this important Item
My remarks, then, might be summed
up thus: Deal in the best only, prepare
and cultivate the soil hmor7kl.y, aud we
will be apt next Thanksgiving Day to
thank the Lord for about twice our
usual harvcsts.
