ing. The cost of the press is e3,-
800. The ten ordered by the Dali
ly Telegraph will cost e35, 200, and
the engines and other machinery
for them will bring 100000 in
gold. The present establishment
of the Daily Telegraph is about as
perfect as need be, but is all to be
thrown aside for those new presses,
which, although costing so much,
will, in the opinion Of the owners
OF the paper, save them $4,000 a
year, besides the advantage of cna-
bling them to 60 to press II 3 o'clock

commence trade, would not deserve
pity, if he did fail in business and
yet this is just what a majority OF
our farmers are doing. The result
of such a system is u slavish life
for term of years in order to pro-
cure stock, implements, barns, and
finally, comfortable house for the
wife and family.
Now, there is but one way to
remedy this widespread evil, and
that is TO own less land; make il
produce better crops, and thereby
prevent waste of time and labor.
A man should never put more than
one half his capital into land, no
matter how much or how little he
may have. We can offer no better
proof Of this wide spread evil OF
owning more land than can be iu-
dIciously cultivated, than the aver
age yield Of any of our principal
farm products. The average yield
of corn, for instance, in some of
the Middle and Southern States, is
not above ten bushels per acre, and
in Illinois seldom above twenty ;
while those farmers who plant on
good, rich land, obtain from fifty
to one hundred bushels per acre.
These results prove, conclusively,
that thousands Of acres are annual
ly planted with this grain, and the
labor expended thereon is almost,
if not entirely, wasted. The same
is true in regard to all kinds of
grain cultivated in this country.
A man starts out in spring to plant
twenty acres Of corn, when really
he has not sufficient help to put in
ten, and the result is a very small!
return for the labor expended, and
less corn than would have been OBJ
tanned upon ten acres, with seventy
per cent of the capital expended
thereon. Manure is wasted by
being spread so thinly over a large
surface Of the ground that the ben
eft is scarcely to be perceived,
while if II less area received the
amount, it would not only bring
immediate and large increase in
the crop grown, but be permanent
Iy cnriched.- Nashville Rural Sun.
The Osceola times., 1873-09-20
W usefulness Of Farmers.

Not less than twenty per cent of
the entire capital employed in
farming in this country is wasted.
This is low estimate, for on many
farms tho amount Of waste is
double the amount named. Perhaps
scarcity and high price Of labor in
n few localities may be considered
II reasonable excuse for this loss,
but we hold that no man should
undertake more than he can accom-
plish without waste. The first and
most prolific source of waste can
readily be traced to large farms, as
nine out OF every ten OF our farm
ers own or undertake to work twice
as much land as they are able to
do, with any sort Of credit or profit
to themselves or others.
In spring more corn, potatoes
and other crops, requiring culture
during the period of growth, are
put in than can be attended TO, and
the results are that haying and
harvesting grain crowd upon the
hoeing, and waste occurs on all
sides. Scarcity of labor is always
put forward as an excuse for this
waste, but the farmer was well
aware that he could not obtain the
required amount long before his
crops were put into the ground,
and should have known Just how
many men were required to take
care Of and harvest any certain
number of acres of any particular
crop. We are not disposed to ex-
cuse a man for waste on the score
Of ignorance, especially in farming,
because the business is one that
should be well understood.
Contrary to the general idea, We
believe that the curse of American
agriculture is cheap lands, produc-
ing low standard of farming, and
encouraging u grasping disposition
to possess broad acres, with a cor.
responding neglect of the same
when once they are obtained. The
first thought OF a farmer or his sons
is, how much land can | purchase
Not, how much will my capital
permit me to buy and improve
In ninety-nine cases out of every
hundred man puts his entire cap.
ital into land, and then runs in debt
for few acres more, reserving
nothing with which to make i'm
proycmonts or purchase stock. A
merchant who would put his entire
capital into a building, and leave
himself no capital with which to

You know her. She lives on

There never was . valley without faded flower,
There never was heaven without some little

The face of Day may flash with light. in any

But Evening soon shall come with her shad-
ow-woyon shroud.
There never was a river without It's mist ol

There never was n forrest without its fallen

And JOY may walk beside us down the windings
of our way,
When lo there sounds footstcp, and WI

There never was sea-shore without It's drift

There never was an ocean without its moan

And the golden beams ofglory, the summer sky

There never was a streamlct, however crystal

Without q shadow resting In the ripples of its

Hopes brightest robes are bIoidered with the
sable fringe Of Fear
And she lures us-but Gbysses girt her path
ON either side.
The shadow of the mountain falls aihwayt the
lowly plain.
And the shadow of the cloudlct hangs above
the mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the
shadow Of some pain,
Aud the smile has scarcely fitted ere the
anguish tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been eycr without a
weary tear,
And those lips cannot be human that have
never hoayed sigh
For without the dreary winter there has never
been year,
And the tempests hid their terrors in the
calmest simmer sky.
The cradle means the cofln, and the coffin
means the crave;
The mothers song scarce hides the De pro-

You may Gull the fairest roses any May-day ever

But they'll wiihcr while they wear them, ere

amid It's maze,
And we grope along together-half in dark

And our hearts are often burdened BY the mys

Which are never all in shadow and are never

And our dim eyes ask beacon, ard our weary

pie Of Freedom is surrounded and
darkened by the clouds Of a coming
despotism. The grave of the past
has been torn open by the hycnas
of imperialism, and once more Cm-
sar strides among us, unawed by
the threatening uplifted arm OF
Brutus Bennett. Not even can the
envious Casca Dana stay his pro-
gress. The Rubicon is passed. The
Tyrant of Long Branch triumphs,
and Rum is free no more. All hon
or to the Herald, the sesquepedal-
lious megatherium Of liberty. Blow
winds and crack you checks. The
awful form of the Third Term looms
up, like a conquering anthropopha-
gi, to overwhelm the people by one
fell swoop. SO fell Rome Beware
the March Of ldes, the Cuban! He
is in league with Galena Grant.
Stanley, the noblest orator of them
all, discovered Africa; Bennett has
discovered the advent of Caesar.
Let the Herald hurl its ten cylinder
presses at the tyrant, and crush him
into infinitesimal nothingness -
which they will, if they Lit him.
And, amid the roar and carnage Of
the conflict, the loud cry Of Liberty
shall be heard, cheering her sons
on to victory and to the spoils.
Already our chains may be heard
clanking in the tombs. We hope
the Herald will copy this, and give
us an exchange. With the Herald

Kissing.

Here is description by a lady
of her feelings on being kissed for
the first time. She felt like a tub
of butter swimming IN honey, CO.
logne, nutmegs and cranberries,
and as though something was run
ming through her nerves on feet Of
diamonds, escorted by several lit
tie cupids in chariots drawn by an
gels, shaded with boncysuskles and
the whole spread with rainbows.
Another lady, II French authoress,
said that kiss gave more pleasure
than anything else in the world ;
to which an irrevercnt scoilcr, n far
western editor responded, " That
writer had evidently never expe-
rienccd the childish rapture Of dc
scending the stairs, by sliding down
the Danisters."
