To FAmmER BOYS.

I'm sick Of hoeing corn, f
AID following the piow.
or working hard from dewy morn.
Till eve, with heated brow.
No longer will stay to NOW,
Or pitch the scented hay;
To the great city will go,
Where wealth is gained by play"
Tut, tut, my man, hush up that song;
Let wisdom be your guide;
That dream of wealth may lead you wrong,
And wreck you on the tide.
Sit down With me upon this stone
Your team will make no harm;
IL We are not kings upon throne,
We are kings upon a farm.
Gods healthy breeIes round you blow,
His birds your music make;
And sweetest rest is yours you know,
When night doth overtake.
The harvest will your toll repay,
Those hells of waving grain,
Arc growing through the sunny day,
And in the summers rain.
Men work as hard as you, in shade,
Der books and papers bent;
The work Of life is easy made,
Only by sweet content.
IL may be nows, my friend, 70 you,
But tits the truth tell
All work is very hard to do,
To those who do it well.
In speculation, you must stand,
The rough commercial shocks;
You may in safety reach the land,
You may land on tho rocks.
Your pay is certain on the farm.
Though grain may not be sold;
In pnnics you feel no alarm
Wheat is rs good as gold.
Pick up your whip and bid your team,
Drag on the noble pillow,
And do not lot an idle dream,
Becloud your youthful brow.
In years to como. whom children roam,
You'l take them by the arm,
AID say, you'd better stay at home,
Upon the good old farm"

On the first Of November last Mr.. Craw.
ford Nally, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Paulding county, Georgia, to-
gethel with his family, consisting in all
OF twenty.one persons, left their quiet,
comfortable and healthy home for Arkansas
While on the route, some of the family
were taken sick with the smallpox caught
on board q steamer on the Mississippi
river, and on the 25th of December thir.
teen of the family had died from the fatal
disease. A few days ago information was
received to the affect that the remaining
eight members had also died from the
same disease, which leaves not a single
one to tell the tale Of the great affection
which befell them. This is indeed a sad
occurrence, and to the relatives and friends
residing in the county we tender sincere
coincidence.

Ises, Renevatsr for a Peer Farm.

A Southern farmer, with a poor firm
on his hands, writes to his local paper
how he brought it up to 6rst>class condi.
tion at no cost. And his example is Of
such a nature that II may be initiated by
any farmer IN my portion Of the country.
II think / know q Grst-rate rcnovator
which will pay FOR itself by its own in
crease In one year, and leave the good il
does she land for clear proft. When l
was 10 Virginia, following the flag Of
Stonewall Jackson, I had occasion to see
what sheep did for that country; and
when | got home, dead broke, with no.
thing but a small WORKOUT farm, my own
labor and the help of a halfgrown son, ]
determined to buy few sheep with the
first money | could spare, and try what
they could do for me. I bought in the
fall o. one year, for twenty dollars, ten
two>year old ewes that were in lamb. /
put them ir a small field close to my house
that was full Of briars and weeds, and
which would have to have been tickled
nightly to make it produce eight bushels
Of corn. They soon ate up the brisrs and
the grass, and by their constant tramping
back and forth they destroyed oil the
weeds. | gave them plenty of water, a
little meal or shorts, and | sailed them
frequently. / kept them in that field
during the winter. providing them with
a dry shelter for bad weather, fed them
regularly with turnips and baets, and some
swamp hay l had saved.
"They throye finely, and in the spring
j had thirteen as fine lambs as ever were
seen, worth quite as much as l gave for
the ewes, and l consider that the wool
and manure paid me much more than the
cost of the feed. I plowed the field in
time for corn planting; planted it in corn
the regular way, and gathered from thirty
to tbirty.6vc bushels of fine corn to the
ncre while on the spot Immediately around
the shelter where they used to gather Of
night, | am sure, at the rate of over f:ty
bushels. | have kept up The use of this
rcnovator ever since, and | find that it
pays handsomely. l have never bought
m ounce of guano or phosphate. l make
fine crops of corn, and wheat, and clover,
and turnips. have a splendid flock of
sheep, and hope soon not to have a single
worn acre of land on my farm. My re.
novator has not cost me anything, and it
lasts more than a year. l will hear from
it fer several years."

quality If the plant does not lie wholly
upon it. Set it behind the stove or beside
the range, covering it closely, aud in two
weeks or more taste it; if sharp vinegar,
bottle it and continue your manufacture.
The vinegar is Of q dark color, but of a
TAR better quality than is bought generally
for cider vinegar, but which has never seen
apples. 1t is probable that what is termed
the mother is loosely allied to this plant
and might be employed by those who de-
sire t. produce O "vinegar plant" without
delay. The cost Of vinegar made in this
manner is extremely small, and as it is
a condiment SO universally employed in
culinary matters, we recommend it to our
readers. We do not think there is any.
thing delsterious in its properties, and it
would certainly give many families q large
of vinegar who would be unable
% procure it 10 any other way. A small
butter irkin would be an excel
.ent utensil for its preparation, asst could
be covered tightly.

Trent nlent or Boys.

Somebody says: / have a recipe to
offer. 1t is a compound, being composed
of several Ingredients. 1t is an excellent
remedy, and when properly applied, ha,
nm amazing good effect upon farmers boys,
keeping them at home in the evening
when they ought to be there, and making
them better than any other place on earth.
Hero are the ingredients:
/. Treat them as partners with you.
Give them to understand that they are
interested in the success Of tho farming
operations as much as you are yourself.
2. Conv erse freely with them. Get
their opinions, and give them yours. If
at all prudent, make use of their plans.
and when you think your own best, ex>
plain to them why you did not adopt
theirs. Don't keep them altogether in
the dark with reference to your plans for
the future.
8. Don't require thsm to stay at home
in the evenings all the time. When there
Is any meeting or entertainment from
which they might receive benefit, be sure
to let them 60.
..
4. Provide them with plenty Of good
books and papers; especially referring to
agriculture. Let them be we'll posted in
their own Understanding.
5, Never scold them because they don't
do their work or attend to the business of
the farm as well as you do. Encourage
them.
s. Give them a holiday now and then.
They look for it, and they need it and it
will be better for you and them to let
them have it.
Other ingredients may with safety be
added, but the above are of infinite im>
portance, and should never be omitted.
Farmers, try my recipe; it acts like a
charm.
