God Bless the Farm.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm
God bless its every rood.
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood !
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
Win back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook
By evening breeze or morning showers;
God bless them all each leafs gem
In natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that, in early spring,
Blush rich in fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers
Like pomegranates on Aaron's rod
A miracle from Natures God
And may He bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign;
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad, beauteous earth contain,
Than where secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life.
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mould;
Then scatters on the golden grain,
And reaps reward hundred fold;
He dwells where grace and beauty charm,
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

TRY EXPERIMENTS Few things tend
to infuse life and interest in ones oc-
cupa,ion more than the trying Of ex-
perinents. Farmers, who can should
try experiments in small way and
note accurately the time and expense
incurred in making them If this were
done by active, energetic farmers. and
they would communicate the result to
the columns Of the agricultural press.
it would add yearly to the general fund
Of agricultural knowledge. Of course
all the experiments one undertakes can
not be expected to give satisfactory
pecuniary ults.-but they will give
scope to thought aud enterprise. and
benefit mankind. Step by step We will
find ourselves advancing in the art Of
better farming, and success will be sure
to crown our latter efforts. .-Rual
