Two Sorts of Farmers.

That farmer is not successful, who
at the end of a long life is as though
he had lived in vain. If his crops
are always light, his COWS always
poor, and his horses weak, he is I'M
successful. The farmer whose notes
are protested at maturity, and whose
credit is not good, is not successful.
The farmer who is always ready to
give his note in payment, and to run
bills at the store, is not successful
The farmer who is always asking
some one to endorse for him, and is
always endorsing for others, will not
be successful. The farmer who is
not ready to pay his taxes when due,
or to meet his obligations, and give
helping hand to others, is not sue
cessful. The farmer whose fences
are always out of repair, whose farm
is full of foul weeds, and whose cat
tie are lousy, is not successful. The
farmer who makes his boys use the
scythc and cradle instead Of the
reaper and mower, is not successful.
The farmer whose harness, wagon or
machinery breaks down just when he
wants to use them, is not successful.
The farmer who prefers dung-hill
stock to improved breeds, is not sue
cessful. The farmer who cannot
give his sons and daughters an edu-
cation will not be successful.
That farmer is but every one
knows the successful farmer. When
you meet him on the street he is
driving a good team. If you meet
him in the store, his credit is good
If you sell him COW, he does not
offer you second-rate note with III
ferior endorsements; he gives lyou
check. His horses are valuable and
well kept; his early lambs are large
and bring good price. His fat cat
tie are very fat, and his mich cows
are we'll bred. His farm is clean and
well titled, and his business is such
that it pays to keep it SO. He can
afford to use good tools and take care
of them. His children are well edu-
Gated, and do not look with distrust
on the occupation of their father
His advice is always in request by his
younger neighbors.

THIS is the time of year for the an
nual road spelling; let us give a little
advice.
If it is no further oyer hill than
around it, by all means go over; ii
gives strangers better chance to see
the country, and yourselves an adj
mirable opportunity to test the
strength of your horses when going
to market with load; it also gives
the water that falls a chance to run
down hill, a pastlme that water is
very prone to indulge and for which
it will be duly grateful.
Don't bother about culverts and
bridges; you don't need them when
the water is low in summer nor when
it is frozen up in winter, and if you
can't get about in the fall and spring
remember that you ought to spend
some time with your family, anyhow.
Scrape up the soft mud from the
bitches, it's all right in dry weather,
packs easily, don't bruise horses
feet, and when it is wet it lets the
wheels down without impediment.-
Throw on some sods to ornament the
top.
Don't drain off the water.
When you work on the roads, don't
work at all, but come late and go
early, tell stories while you are there,
and swear at the pathmastcr when
ever you get mired down or break a
wheel in a rut.
So shall you be blessed of your
children and your children's children,
and land spectators will flee your
neighborhood as from pestilence.

Renewing Strawberry Heds.

a good way to renew an old straw
berry bed, is to cut out with hoe, as
soon as the plants have done truiting,
enough plants to leave them growing
about three feet apart. Then take a
fork potato fork is best -and
loosen up the ground all over the bed
breaking the Jumps, and leaving it
soft and smooth; and very soon the
runners will grow out and cover the
ground. Sometimes it is best to
guide the RUNNERS to vacant places,
and set them by taking garden
trowel and covering them at the
joints with earth, first sinking them
about half an inch below the surface
of the soil. In the fall, the bed will
probably contain more plants than
ought to grow IN it, and they should
be thinned out to stand eight inches
apart, or further you choose. Some
varieties bear well when growing
close, and some do not. The rule is
generally not to let the plants bear
over two years before renewing them.
The advantage Of renewing them this
way is, that you get a full crop of
fruit every season on the same bed

WASHINGTON, August 2.-Senator
Boutwell, reported bill to-day from the
select committee on civil service, provld-
ing that on and after date, which is left
blank, the existing pension agencies shal
be discontinued and the duties
imposed by law or regulations In
the several pension agents shall there.
after be performed by the treasurer OF
the United States at Washington. The
bill further provides thst to facilitate the
payment of pensions in this manner, the
treasurer may designate sufficient num-
Der of clerks to sign checks for him, and
checks thus signed shall be paid by the
officers of banks on which they are
drawn.
The Senats Committee on Privileges
and Elections to-day, in reporting on the
petitions of the heirs Of the late Senator
Lebastian, of Arkansas, say they find,
from unquestionable evidence, that the
charges of disloyalty and conspiracy
against the government, on which
the Senate resolution Of July IL,
1861, expelling him and nine others,
was based, were, as regards Sebastian
merely matter of suspicion and inform
'al, and wholly uniounded as to fact, ex-
'cept as to his absence during the proceed
'ings of seven days, which was proved to
have been unavoidable, and WAS not of.
itself an expulsory offense. They find
also that he was an earnest opponent OF
secession, and remained devoutedly loyal
10 the United States during his entire life
time. AS partial reparation for the in
jury done HIM they, therefore, recon-
mend the annulment of his expulsion and
provide for the payment of his salary for
the balance of his term.
The report OF the impeachment trial
was made to the House to-day, by Mr..
Lord on the part of the managers.
