For instance, he commences haying; the
weather is fine and he is anxious to cut
all the grass he possibly can on that day.
He works an hour or two, and a bolt in
the machine becomes loose, nut having
come off, which is lost. He is not accus-
toned TO swear much, but on this occa-
sion he uses pretty rough language, as the
machine must be idle the rest of the dav.
in order to 60 to town and have a new nut
made.
vided extra nuts and bolts for his moving
machine, as every farmer ought to do
that is, those that are liable to break or get
loose and be lost-in such cases his deten-
ton would have been but few minutes.
This provision Of extra bolts and nuts,
extra plow-shares, hoe and hay-fork
handles, ETC., comes IN as consequence
of forming the habit Of keeping a good
supply of workshop tools and looking
ahead in regard to farm labors Farmers
can often on rainy days employ hired men
in their workshops in helping repair some
implement. 1t is very bad management
for farmer 10 have nothing for his farm
hands to do IN wet weather, and something
should be prepared for them on such oc-
casions. The good farmer will always
look ahead, and have something that his
help can do profitably when they cannot
work out OF doors.-N. 7. World.

A KEEN, cold night the sky foretells,
Suffused with sunsets crimson glow;
Then faster drive and clang the bells,
For Christmas Eve draws near, you know.
The gossips sip their tea, and chat,
And tell the tales of long ago,
And time flies fast-who cares for that?
For Christmas comes tonight, you know.
fresh voices shout within the hall,
And feet come stamping off the snow;
And old-time welcome waits them all
For Christmas comes tonight, you know.
Around the pond the skaters glide
In widening circles TO and tro,
Each lad rosy lass beside,
For Christmas comes tonight, you know.
l hear the chore-boy's song OF glee,
And from the wooded vale below
The home-returning sportsmen see,
For Christmas comes tonight, you know.
From out the dim and dusky pines
The trapper's csmp-fires fit and glow,
And in their light the far lake shines,
The shades of night draw ut ar, you know.
Some are not here we used 10 greet
In happy pastimes long ago.
The memory of their love ls sweet;
Such memories do not fade, you know,
Now flock the children to the fun,
And gather in the fresides glow.
Hang up your stockings, everyone,
Tonight comes Santa Claus. you know.

Cultivate the Soil More Thoroughly.

a LARGE portion of farmers attempt to
work too much land. Hence the cultiva-
ton is too superficial for profit. Plow-
ing by cutting furrow- slices twice or thrice
as wide as they should be, making numer-
Gus balks, pulverizing the seed-bed not
half as thoroughly as would be profitable,
putting in the seed imperfectly, removing
crop after crop from the fields during the
entire lifetime of the proprietor without
ever returning single pound of fertiliz-
ing material as an equivalent for the ele-
mentS removed in the crops, constitute
the SHINING system of agriculture which
always makes poor farms and poorer
farmers. The SHINING system will al
ways require more labor for what it OBJ
tains than high farming. Every skillful
manager knows that it is easier and cheap
er to harvest 900 bushels of corn from
fifteen acres than from fifty. 1t is not be-
cause the successful farmer obtains occa-
sionally large crop or a high price that
he makes the business permanently profit
able; but because he uniformly raises
good crops without failure through all the
vicissitudes Of seasons. This he can only
do by keeping his land in the best condi-
ton and giving the best cultivation. The
superficial manager sometimes sees an oc-
casional or accidental good crop raised
with little care. Then he is induced
to try the same mode in other in
stances, with the hope that each viii prove
alike lucky, although the failures may be
nine cases in TENN the same way that
weak minded people venture their prop
erty in lottery tickets, although they
know their chances are slim for obtaining
anything in return. The high price of
almost every farm product operates as a
strong stimulant to every farmer to make
the most of his land; but serious obsta-
Gle is met at the first step by the extreme
scarcity and high wages of farm labor.
This dilemma is likely to lead many to the
old and improbable course Of skim-cult-
ure, unless prevented by proper intelli-
gence on the subject.
Now, then, if farmer is satisfied that
he is in possession of more cultivable land
than he can work with satisfactory profit,
let him commence a renovating system Of
management Grass and even weeds are
natures own renOvators OF the soil. If
the manurial resources Of the farm will
afford only a moderate dressing of manure
for one, two or three acres per annum, let
given plot be MANFRED so generously
that the growing crop will show the effect
of the manure applied. Then work the
MANFRED plot thoroughly. Let large
portion of the farm be stocked down with
grass or clover, or pillow under crop of
maize. Do not try to raise crops of any
sort; rather let the efforts be directed to
the improvement of the fertility Of the
soil. After few years crops can be cult
waited with satisfactory protit.-Neoo York

The Farmers Toulouse and Work
shop.

A FARMER can never fully appreciate
the usefulness Of a good set Of tools, and
a workshop, in which he can on rainy
days, or in the winter season, repair his
farm implements in many cases, Or make
useful articles to be used on the farm, and
become expert in the use of planes, saws,
bits, drawing knives, etc. On nine farms
in ten in the United STATES, probably, all
the edge tools to be found consist of an old
saw, not filed within ten years; rusty
auger, with handle loose; one or two GIN
lets, made half century ago, and an ak,
in pretty good order from sheer necessity,
to be able to cut wood enough to keep
from freezing in the winter season. Every
good farmer should have room in some
outbuilding where stove can be placed in
the winter, in which he can do any little
jobs that one may be able to do who IS not
a practical mechanic. After this work
shop is provided he should purchase a
fair assortment of good tools, as follows:
Fine and coarse teeth saws, two or three
augres of different sizes-blts Of five or six
sizes, with brace TO be used in the place
of gimlets, being much better; several
planes, drawing knife, files of different
sizes, a wise, Ratchet with a broad cut,
nail hammers, large and small; small
sledge- hammer, weighing about two
pounds, and other things that will occur
to him when purchasing. A cooper's
shaving horse is very useful thing to
have in such workshop; also different
sized wrenches, with which any nut on
the iron-work of farm implements NAV be
removed.
Let any young farmer supply himself as
above stated and in two or three wears he
will be surprised at his advance in the
use of such tools and his ability to repair
many things that are generally sent to the
blacksmith Or the wheelwright to mend
He should always provide in advance
hard wood timber, cut in the most con-
venient sizes for such uses as he NAV re-
quire it, so that if he wants TO repair an
implement he can instantly find lust the
piece of wood needed and seasoned. 4

good tools and brings up his boys to use

4 Georgia Farmers Content.

WE noticed on the street, the other day
a neat one-steer wagon and neat, strong,
black steer between the shafts, and nice
cotton covering over the ribs of the wag-
on body, and a black jack three pronged
stick, with three red apples on the prongs,
erected on the front end of the wagon
body as :. sign. We determined to see
the proprietor, and he submitted to an in
terview as easily as a candidate for Gov
ernor. We said: stranger, what have
you got to sell?' He said: 81 have got the
yaller-skin red-breasted shocky apple. y
We said :" Where didy come from ?'' He
said: (" From the upper ee-n-d of HARRISON
County, on the left prong of Turkey
Creek, and close to Jack Mountain" We
said: How many apples have you got and
how do you sell them ?" He said: 81 started
with twelve bushels; | retail them at fif-
teen cents dozen, or two dollars per
bushel. / have sold seven bushels, and
will close out the lot in day or two''
On inquiry we found il woald take him at
least ten days to make the round trip from
home and back, but he would realize on
his load of apples nearly thirty dollars,
and it didn't cost cent to make them. He
had made plenty of corn and meat and
some cotton, but he hadn't even had the
cotton glnned. He said it was penned UP
in the field and he was in no hurry about
it. He said he would be down again be-
| fore Christmas with another load of ap
Piles and some bees-wax and honey and
some feathers and some other little tricks
| He was we'll dressed in home made Jeans
and was as happy as a lark. We asked
him when he would bring his cotton, and
he said he didn't know, but if he got
time to gin it and felt like it he might
bring il in some time next summer after he
laid by his crop. He seemed to care very
little about his cotton, and if the COWS haG
eaten it up he wouldn't have shed a tear
