A knowledge Of Farming.

The first thing required to make good
farmer is spirit of entire devotion 10 the
pursuit Without this mo man can be a
farmer in the true sense of the term; and
the reason we have so many slip-shod
farmers is because they lack the steady APP
plication necessary to learn the art thor
oughly and master its many branches.
The man who fi2tters himself that he can
make "A good farmer, or make farming
profitable, and at the same time attend to
something else, viii learn, if he is at all
learnable, before many years too, that he
is very ignorant about this great pursuit.
A successful farmer is marked man in
any community There are not many of
them, these devoted. studious farmers; but
when you find one he is prosperous; he
learns from his own observation and his
own operations aad from all he meets he
learns something. Geo. Geddes, one of the
substantial farmers of New York, says in a
letter to the New York Tribune, that one
source of his information about farming
was his hired men, and that he never
had a good man is work for him but that
he obtained some useful information from
him as to the time and manner of doing
teamwork. There arefthousands of men
in our country who presend Ia be farmers
who do not know the rudiments of prac-
teal farming. Such men lower the char
acter of the profession of which they are
members When a farmer finds time to
leave his farm to travel with "a book agent
or some machine pcdaler or patent right
vender, it is certain that he lacks a know
ledge of his business When a farmer
finds time to go forth an8 buy a few car
loads of stock and take them to market,
it is a sure sign that he don't know he is
neglecting his business When afarmer
becomes an agent for anything, he'dont
realize that his business as a farmer re-
auires his whole time and attention. When
a farmer gets into debt and promises his
growing crop In payment, he has no, cor
rect knowledge of his business, and is
sure TO turn out badly if he continues this
practice.
Thetruth Of the whole nfgtfer lis that TO
be good farmer one must give the busl-
ness his whole time; he must make the
pursuit one of constant study and research
and gaan knowledge from every possible
source. We would like 10 press upon
young farmers the importance of gaining
full knowledge of the business TO which
they have devoted themselves. If you
have entertained the notion that you can
as well attend TO farming and do some
thing else a. a sort of filling in, and make
some money without interfering with the
main operations, you are deceived and
greatly Undertaking. the business OF the
farm. 1t is a pleasure to see farmers
prosperous and to meet with those so de
voted to theEr;profession that they can give
you information on any point desired -

VALUE OF EVERGREEN TREES AMONG
FRUIT TREEs.-A well-grown evergreen
tree gives off continually an exodium OF
warmth and moisture that reaches dis
lance of It's area in height; and when the
tree planters advocate shelter belts. sur
rounding tract of orchard of fifty or more
acres. when the influence of such belt can
only reach distance of the height of the
trees In said belt. they do that which will
prove of little value. To ameliorate eli
mate, to assist in prevention against en-
IRENE climatic cold in winter and OF the
frosting of the germ bud OF the fruit in
spring, all orchards should have planted,
in and among them Unfortunately, ever
greens OF distance each of not more than
l6O feet apart. Such course pursued,
we have no doubt, will render greater
health to the trees, and be productive OF
more regular and uniform crops of fruit.
At all events, it is worth trial, and we
shall be glad if any of our readers can in
form us of any practical experiments on
the subject.
