Not to be.

The rose said, "Let but this long rain be past,
And l shall feel my sweetness in the sun,
And pour its fullness into life at last;''
But when the rain was done,
But when dawn sparkled through unclouded air,
She was not there.
The lark said, "Let but winter be away,
And blossoms come, and light, and will soar,
And lose the earth, and be the voice of days"
But when the SHOWS were Der
But when spring broke in blueness overhead,
The lark was dead.
And myriad roses made the garden glow,
And skylarks caroled all the summer long
What lack of birds to sing and flowers to blow?
Yet all. lost SCENT lost song!
Poor empty rose, poor lark that never trilled!

INDEPENDENCE.

Frequently we hear farmers complain of
their lot, but if they knew when they We're
well off they would not do so. Any man
who owns a farm and is out of debt, is the
most independent of men. ''Hard times''
has no power to chill his feelings or cast
shadow across his heart, he can Mt all times
have employmentand need not bow or cringe
to any master; never need he be the slave
of any. Dealing with nature and natures
God; how dignifying and ennobling the av-
ocation in its character, and should be con-
sidered, as it really is, the highest and most
satisfactory business man can engage in. A
farmer may not always acquire wealth, but
he is always sure of a competence. To the
care-worn, brain-wrecked business man.
there is nothing that looks SO peaceful and
enchanting as lovely, well regulated farm.
1t looks to him like haven of rest, where
the corroding cares and life-sapping anxiety
Of a city life are unknown; a domain over
which the farmer is king, and where he may
enforce his will, undisputed by anyone. The
true pleasure of farmers vocation consists
in his close relation to nature and in his DOS
session of all the rational enjoyments of life;
as natural consequence, the higher his c,,,,.
ture the greater will be his capacity for de-
irving enjoyment. Hence farmer should
be scholar in the broadest sense to fully
draw from his surroundings the happiness
and tranquility that belong to the farmers
life-Sacranaent AgaScultuqsst.

EDITOR HUSBANDMAN: Line writer mas
received several numbers Of the HUSBAND
MAN, and is well pleased with it. If you do
not publish it too exclusively in the interest
of the Oranges, but of farmers generally,
there is no reason why you should not sue
ceed. AS it is the only agricultural paper in
the Territory, farmers should consider it
their paper, and besides subscribing and pay
Ing for it, should send you all the items of
farming interest in their respective neigh
borhoods, such as sales and Wntering of
stock, reports of crops, the result of expert
ments, and any other facts that may be of
interest to their brother farmers.
AS his contribution to the general fund,
your correspondent will give the result of
his experiments with timothy and red-top
grass for several years, for the purpose of
killing out what is known as foxtail in our
meadows, which our farmers and stable-men
know is so injurious to stock, and which is
said to be destroying some of the best hay
farms in the Prickly Pear valley. He finds
that the timothy and red-top start earlier
in the spring than the foxtail, keep in ad-
vance of it all the season, and finally, by de-
grees, choke it out. On very moist soils, he
finds the red-top does best, as the timothy
sometimes winter-kills. Whether it would
have the same result on other farms remains
to be seen. It might be well for those Of
our farmers whose meadows are overrun
with foxtail, to SOW some of the other grasses
this spring, when the ground is wet, and
give them trial, as it will cost only the
price of the seed, the labor Of sowing, and,
if the ground is not too wet, narrowing with
fine toothed harrow. 1t is important that
the seed should be good, as much Of what
comes to this country is old and not Of good
quality. Much benefit must not be looked
for for several years, as it takes some time
for new grasses to take root and become
vigorous in old unbroken meadows.

THE SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE.

No greater blunder was ever committed
than that, SO prevalent, of educating in
polished manner, and OF great expense, the
choice boy of the family, for some profess
sion, and causing the other boys to neglect
their education under the impression that
anybody can till the soil,' whether edu-
Gated or not. The science of agriculture
requires as much or more natural and ac-
quired talent to De truly appreciated and
really successful than any other known.
True, any person can plow and plant and
reap. So any man may practice medicine,
and by lifelong practice and experience
by the sick-bed, may become very success
full in the treatment of diseases. The same
is true of other professions. and of the farmer.
But by the aid of the science of medicine,
the young man is enabled to begin his career
just about where the old man ends his with
out it, is it assuming too much to say that

A SUBSTITUTE FOR RAIN.-M. Paraf has
to certain extent, solved the problem of
artificial irrigation by the discovery of a
method Of doing without rain. His plan is
to apply calcium chloride, which has pow
erful affinity for moisture, and absorbs
large quantity from the atmosphere. From
actual experiments he has found that it will
produce irrigation more efficiently and
cheaper than any other artificial method.
One application will, he states, produce and
retain abundant moisture for three days,
when the same amount of water. applied in
the ordinary way would evaporate in an
hour. The inventor believes that his way
is cheaper than canal irrigation, and THAT
not only by its use two blades of grass will
be produced where only. one is now, but
that it will make it possible to have fields.
meadows, grass and prosperity where now
there is nothing but sand and desert waste.

MEETINGS OF THE SOIL T1L1ERs.

The fourth annual convention of the nli-
nois State Farmers Association met at
Bloomington, Tuesday, January 1s. The
attendance was not so large as in former
years. Hon. w. G. Flagg, the President,
referred to some thinning of the ranks, but
said two converts had been made for each
seceder. Secretary Smith took rather dis
couraging view of the situation. A paper
was read favoring Governmental manage
ment of transportation. F. B. Thurber, of
New York, read paper on railroad trans
portation. The committee on water routes
made careful report, showing the advan-
tages secured by water competition to rail-
roads. Capt. Eads sent letter showing the
progress of the work at the mouth of the
Mississippi

be understood as claiming that theory is bet
ter than practice, nor will we confound the
one-indead theorist who has a hobby and
spends his means and his life riding it, with
the man who is master of the science in all
of its branches. There is great difference
between farming and the science of agricul-
ture; science embraces the chemistry Of the
soil, nature OF plants, their food, how they
grow, what crops are suited to a given soil,
etc, without the necessity of lifelong ex-
perience to find it out; agriculture embraces
all these, while farming does not. One man
spring, while another plows in the fall for
the chemical effect of the frost upon the soil.
One raises crops upon a certain soil until it
will raise less than half crop at best, while
another will at once detect the cause of the
failure, supply the deficiency or change the
crop. Science teaches a man the necessity
for plowing, while art teaches the manner
of doing the work. The art of farming
teaches how to plant, cultivate and husband
the crop, and the effect of the art will be to
impoverish the soil by constant cropping.
Science teaches of what the crops are COM
posed, and how they are derived from the
soil and atmosphere, and teaches also how
to restore the soil to its original fertility.
But it is unnecessary to 60 into the full de
tails Of all that constitutes the science of ag-
riculture, the adaptability Of certain crops
etc., enough has been said to show that in
tellect as well as muscle, is necessary to a
farmers life. Much might also be said of
the pleasure enjoyed and consequently the
taste for such life, by one who constantly
sees new beauties in nature, above one who
performs his duties mechanically, but the
object of this word to the reader is, if posi-
BILE to arrest a wrong, as it must certainly
be, that of making farmer of the dull boy,
| and educating other classes, and thus con-
stantly bringing into disrepute the noblest
calling known to man, depriving it of much
of its material as we'll as men.al power, and
| furnishing the same to other callings, often
to be used against them in the affairs Of life.
