HOW TO MAKE THE FARM PAY,

Az we have often said, it is amusing to
listen to people who tell us how to make
the farm pay. It's fair time, and the Hon.
aeneral Jones is invited TO tell us what is
sne matter with the thing. He is able to
veil just how maay greenbaeks there should
oe 70 every man, woman and child in the
seuhtry. and knows precisely how many
miles OF railroad and canals are necessary
so the National prosperity. Moreover, he
was educated at the great Jonesborough
university, and served his country we'll on
she bloody field Of Jones' Cross Roads. He
addresses the farmers assembled en- the sit
sation, and shows clearly that unless we
aaVe our beefsteak analysed we can hardly
sxpect to have healthy breakfasts, and that
we whole heart of farming is the nitrogen
VI the soil. And the man covered with hay
seed laughs. The beefsteak is good enough
aor MIN. and he has made ''a pile of money
ana knows nothin' of these tarnal things"
We turn from all these distractions and
NOOK OF things as they are. We find lots OF
Reople who are as intelligent rs the world
san make them, and lots of others whs

The farmer has no time now to stop to
ask what to do. Look in whatever direc-
zion he may. he will see enough to do and
the only question is what to do first. The
lateness of the harvest and the scarcity Of
farm help will prevent much fall blowing
, The present crop must first be secured.
Then, as the market is good, reasonable
portion of it must be marketed and this will
consume most of the time until cold wealth
er, unless we should have one of those re-
narkably late winters which admit Of plow-
ing up to Christmas, which is not very
probable. If it were possible to break a
large area of ground this fall it would be
mach better thon to wait until spring even
If the cost is greater than it will be then.
For several years past the country has es-
capped grasshopper raids but there is no as
surance it will next year. AS there are no
eggs in the ground, however there is no
danger except from emmigarnt 'hoppers,
and to make sure OF avoiding these it is
best to sow just as soon as the frost is out
OF the ground sufficiently to admit of har
rowing. But to do this the land must be
broken in the fall or summer previous. We
would not have anyone neglect his present
crop, but the plowman should be at abroad
and every possible acre should be turned
under before winter, in order to expidate
next seasons work and insure the best re-
suits #

CHINESE GARDENING,

An Athens. Georgia, correspondent OF
Vick's Magazine gives an interesting account
| OF now a Chinaman gardens. He says AT
ter Ah Yut Sing had procured his seed OF
cabbage, tomato, mellon, cucumber, &C., he
Immediately began his process of preparing
them for the soil. His experiments with
each Of the above named seeds were truly
interesting. For one week before he plant
ed them in his carefully prepared mellow
soil, he subjected them to curious process
of soaking and bathing in q liquid made
with water and excrements from the fowl
house. He would carefully separate each
variety of seed into parcels and suspend
them in a glass vessel (candy jar) that was
half filled with this liquid, and pains would
be taken not TO let the seed touch the LIQUID
and he would let them remain for six or
seven days, when they would be swelled to
twics or three times their usual size then
they were planted. His vines of cucum
bers, tomatoes and Irish potatoes seemed to
be his pets, and were planted under the
caves Of the house, where the rain water
would have fallen upon them if the willy
Celestial had permitted it, but such was not
the case. He had constructed gutter made
of thrown away oyster cans, which convey
ed the water to barrels, where he wanted it
for laundry use, and not to fall upon his bed
of vines. But this tim gutter served a
double purpose when the vines had begun
to run, small holes were punetured ia the
tin gutter and mixture of fowl dung was
placed in the gutter. and gradual dripping
which descended in the midst of the vines
made them grow like "wildtire'' and pro-
duce fruit abundantly. A trellis was made
of twigs for the vines to climb upon. and by
shis process the amount of tomatoes, Gu
cumbers. squashes and melons that were
grown was miraculous. The vines We're the
largest, the healthiest and moss fruitful of
all we ever saw, and all on such small
space. His vegetables commanded prem
ium in the market, and were noted for their
size, flavor and freshness. But All Yut
Sing was too economical to eat the fruit of
his own labor; he would sell his choice veg
etables TO the epicures at nice figure. and
buy the stale unsold lots that were offered
at a discount in the market.
