HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

An Englishman, who does thorough
farming, and makes it pay, says he always
feeds his land before it is hungry, rests it
before it is weary, and weeds it before it
is foul.
The Prairie Farmer names cotton
wood, soft maple and white elm, if you
want shade quickly at the expense of
some other things; and black walnut,
white ash and sugar maple, if you can
wait little to get something valuable for
timber.
