TILLAGE.

A
What would some Of the great
English farmers say If they could
behold us here, exemplifying the
meaning Of this important word N
the agricultural dictionary ? We
doubt whether Mast himself could
draw the picture. \ farmer N the
spring, sometimes early, sometimes
late, blowing his land but a single
time and putting in the seed IN the
confident hope Of competing with
the world and making money. We
rely upon luck. the soil and the
seasons. The Englishman counts
drainage, deep blowing and tillage
against all these. Ii We pillow once
and get III the crop IN timers our
fathers did-it is good enough.
Fhey made corn-aud thus we feel
quite content to rest In the salts
led consciousness Of duty well
performed. \ few more Shiftings
and turnings OF the clods and har-
vest IS at with Just what it
may bring. good or bad luck. How
different the process where the
science Of this word is understood.
and great crops counted upon al
most as a certainty. Drainage first.
then deep plowIng, and then comes
the tlllage part-of clod-crushers
and drags, harrows and rollers.
until the soil is two or three times
the depths of II of our plowings
and is SO fine as almost to pass
through a seive. This is only the
work of preparation for the crop.
Real tillage. as we use the word.
M afterwards III the Wav Of
harrows run continuously over the
crop, simply stirring the surface
soil to kill the grass seed, keep off
the crust and let in the air. I'm
what country would the farmer
find a more approved and advanced
set of agricultural implements than
here? And to the eve Of the tray
eler what a strange incengruitv
there must appear between II til
lage implements and our tillage
itself. Our implements ahead Of
old England and our tillage be
hind-we leave that to be supplied.
1t all e simply this, that u
manufacturers are about a century
ahead of the farmer. We have got
the implements IN easy reach. but
are too prejudiced or too ignorant
to use them. or learn their value.
The most difficult task Of the far
mel IS to SO prepare his lands as
that the very small quantity Of
mineral matter necessary for the
crop, and 50 unequally distributed
in the soil may appear everywhere
alike. This is the great object Of
tlllage to SO intermix and commin-
ute the particles Of earth that every
element of plant food may meet
and combine with its kindred elc-
ments. Mr. Holman. not Iono
since, gave d very happy and beau
tiful illustration Of the meaning Of
tillage. To show its value. and
how i must act upon the plant.
he says: take a stick and run i
down into a barrel Of apples. and
see how many it will touch. Next
into a barrel of cherries. and then
into Il barrel Of four. II we would
keep up We must learn to till the
soll-not simply turn it over once
or twice with the pillow and then
"rest" upon luck. Such faith
and hope in the charity of Him
who sends the seasons is rather un-

SHEEP.

At the risk Of being "phono-
graphic we return to this subject
again. 1t does seem, there is real
". but little use IN inviting IL
people by our great advantages or
by wonderful examples Of high
profit, to engage in this industry.
They have made up their minds
not to do it, until all the "worth-
less dogs have been hanged or
taxed out of existence. Numbers
of our people we believe have work
ed into the belief that a flock of
sheep stand no nor showing IN
North Carolina than would a
basket of early peaches left out
upon one of the dark purlieus Of
New York to the tender mercies Of
the "small boys Now if we were
to consult our individual or purely
selfish interests we should say, let
the dogs alone, they have done their
owners more harm than they have
ever done us. They (the Dogs have
only served to keep them poor and
dependent. And the result is, we
can get cheap labor. If the truth
could be reached, we believe it
would be found, that two-thirds of
the sheep killed were u upon the
commons and received no special
care or attention from theirowners.
And as we have before said in the
majority Of cases, 1t will be found
that it is not so much The sheen
killing propensity of the dog as it
is the appetite of his master behind.
If we may be pardoned, we viii
give some facts from ourindividual
experience and that of many of our
neighbors. We Will warrant that
the tax-lister a carry up as much
material upon which to found a
dog law from our premises this
season as a be found anywhere.
Our number IS good and our yarie-

80 in number and ranging all The
way from the I" bench legged flee
to the comely "Scotch colley."
With an experience Of some seven
wears with quite a good flock Of
sheep lin numbers) we have never
yet lost but two from dogs. The
former occupant Of this farm
through a long series of years with
a flock ranging from five to eight
hundred, never suffered a loss, save
from the dogs of his own household.
So it may be gathered from our
own experience of observation that
we are a little incredulous upon
"dog statistics" AS compared to
a Fence Law, the dog question
sinks into utter significance. But
farmers have all these questions in
their own hands. There law

DON'T FoRGET.-A successful business man
says there were two things which he learned
when he was eighteen which were afterwards
of great use to him, namely: never 10 forget
anything, and never to lose anything. An ola
lawyer sent him with an important paper with
certain instructions what to do With 1t:
But Inquired the young man, suppose
I lose It.. what shall do then
The answer was with the utmost emphasis
you must not lose it,
II do not intend TO-, said the young man
but suppose | should happen to =
But say you must not happen to, aud l
shall make 20 provision for any such occur
renee. You must not lose it.
This put new train of thought into the
Young mans mind, and be found that If be
was determined to do thing be could do it.
lie made such provision against every contln-
eency that be never lost anything. lie found tins
enualIy true about forgetting. 1t a certain
matter of i'm portance was to be remembered,
be pinned it down on his mind, fastened 1t
there, and made it stay.
