PLANTING PoTAToEs EARLY.-The ex-
perience of farmers everywhere is that
the best crops of potatoes are produced
by planting early, or as soon as the land
can be got in good condition. 1t is bad
policy to pillow land when wet; and when
the season is cold and rainy, it is better
to wait for good weather to put in any
crop; but plant your potatoes as soon as
you can safely. An excellent way to
manage, so as to have little work in cu1-
tivating the crop, is to plant either in
drills, and cover the seed with pillow,
forming a ridge over each row; and
when the potatoes have been in the
ground from 10 to 20 days they have
grown up several inches in the ground.
Then take q harrow, turn it over with
the teeth up, put upon it large stone
or tow in front, lengthen your trace
chains as much as you can, and 60 over
the ground across the ridges, till the
land is perfectly smooth. If some Of
the potato sprouts are uncovered no harm
will be done. The weeds will all be de.
strOyed, and your potatoes will come VI
and grow rapidly, and generally will re
quire no other cultivation, but with 8

THE FARMER.


Of all pursuits by man invented
The plowman is the best contented,
His calling's good, his profit high,
And on his labors all rely.
Industrious plans by him are laid;
Mechanics all by him are fed;
His hand gives meat to everything,
Up from the beggar to the king.
The milk and honey, corn and wheat,
Are by his labors made complete;
Our clothes from him doth first arise,
To deck the fop or dress the wise.
We then, by vote, may justly state
The plowman ranks among the great /;
More independent than they all
That dwell upon this earthly ball.
All hail ye farmers, young and old,
Push on your pillow and courage bold ;
Your wealth arises through the clod,
Your independence from your God.
If, then, the pillow supports the nation,
And men Of rank in every station,
Let kings to farmers make bow,
And every man procure pillow.

The INCENTIVE TO SERvIcE.-Some
one has said, there was not man in all
Saul's army but knew that God could
use him to meet Goliath but there was
only one that believed that God qcouid
use him, and God used that one. And
what we want is not to believe that God
can use us, but that God anil use us.
Forty days had the giant come out and
pointed his finger at and de6ed all Israel.
Forty days was Saul trembling from
head to foot-and he was head and
shoulders taller than any one else in his
army-but he was not the man God had
chosen to meet the giant. 1t was the
little STRIPPING, the youngest son of Jesse
the smallest and weakest of his sons
and God used him, and God delivered
the giant into his hands. And God vii
use the weak ones here if they will only
let Him. God can take up tie learned
and the unlearned, and there is not |
man living whom God cannot use if h,
is willing to be used.
