Stick 70 One Thing.

There are many farmers who 10
not stick to one thing long enough
to make it pay, and consequently
they lose in everything. At one
time they conclude to devote them
selves to stock raising. Before they
get fairly under good Roadway in
this, they change their minds and
90 back to raising grain. Some
again make a speciality, for a time,
of a certain crop-wheat, corn, or
potatoes, for instance. While they
are following this speciality, the
crops may be small and the prices
low, and they turn to another just
in time to miss large crops and
good prices in what they have left.
The best farmers we have OBJ
served are those who first find out
what their soil is best adapted to
produce They then turn their en-
ergies in that direction and go
straight forward in that line. A
poor crop does not discourage them.
they keep on, and are sure to be f.
nally successful.
To illustrate our idea: We once
knew a farmer who always made il
point to fatten from twenty-five
to thirty hogs every year. Let the
price of pork be high or low, he
every year had his lot of hogs of
about the usual number. He took
great pride in having the best in
rhe neighborhood. Some years,
perhaps, he might have done better
by selling his corn instead of feed
ing it. Some years, perhaps he
might have done better by turning
his whole attention to some other
speciality in f.rming. But we al
ways notice this, that, taking one
year with another for a long
time, say ter years, he made the
hogs pay. He was a successful
farmer.
Another farmer near by every
year planted potatoes. Sometimes
his crop would fail, and sometimes
when he had a good crop the price
would be low. But he kept straight
forward. Every spring he planted
potatoes. The result in tn at case
was the same as that in the other.
Taking one year with another for a
considerable number of years, he
made the potato crop pay. He, too,
was q successful farmer.
The farmer who would make his
business pay, must have a policy,
and must adhere to it American
Farmers Magazine.

Green EanurinE.

New York Sun: What has been
accomplished by farmers in renova-
ting land by green manuring is
more convincing than theories of
what may be done. Facts sufi-
cient to convice the most doubtful
in regard to the advant age of green
manuring might be adduced, but a
few must suffice. Clover has been
extensively used in New York, Ohio
and Michigan as the most effectual
and convenient agent in restoring
the fertility ofexhausted lands. The
farmers of western New York de-
pend largely upon the clover crop
to keep their land in good condi
tion for the wheat crop. 1t is the
practice sometimes to SOW clover
with wheat, even though the land
Is to be ploughed again the follow
ing spring, thus to gain the advan-
tage of the growth of young clover
to turn under. The Hon. George
Geddes is strong advocate of the
advantage of clover growing as 8
means of improving the soil, and de-
clares that this plant is the basis of
agriculture. 1T is used" he said,
''for pasture, for hay and manure
Strike it out of existence, and a
revolution would make it necessary
for US to learn everything anew in
regard to cultivating our lands.
Mr. Geddes fertiliZes to a great ex-
tent with clover, and maintained his
40 acre farm in high and con-
stantly improving condition. Mich
igan farmers by the ploughing IN
der Of clover, have been enabled to
double theiEz wheat crop. Other
crops besides clover may be used
for ploughing under. a farmer in
Maine had piece of land contain
ing about two acres, which had not
be ploughed nor dressed for if
teen or twenty years, and was pro-
ducing Lot more than 500 pounds OF
hay to the acre. In the spring he
ploughed it, and, after thoroughly
pulverizing the soil, sowed upon it
western corn at the rate of four
bushels per acre. The corn grew
well, and when it was we'll matured
he ploughed it under. The follow
ing spring he sowed the field in
clover and timothy, and narrowed
it in. The last of July he har-
vested from the two acres three tons
of excellent hay.

General Remarks.

This has been prosperous year
for the farmers of Tennessee.
Though labOring under many dis
advantages, resulting from the par
tial failure of crops last year, in
consequence of the drought, they
have labored energetically and in
dustriously, and their labOrs have
been crowned with abundant sue
cess. Every character of crop cul-
tivated in the state has yielded
abundantly. The misfortune of
last year taught economy. The
farmers of Tennessee went in debt
to smaller extent during the past
season than in former years and in
con sequence a larger percentage of
the crop raised is now their own.
Another lesson was learned which,
with the one just stated, it will be
well to remember. Owing to the
abundant rainfall of last winter and
e Early spring serious apprehensions
were entertained of drought in the
summer. This apprehension led to
bester preparation of the soil by
deeper tillage Our abundant crops
are doubtless, in part at least at
tributable to this cause.
The backwardness of the cotton
crop at one time gave rise
to fears that the yield would be
light. These fears have been dissi-
pated by the highly favorable char
ter of the fall season ard by the alb
sence@of killing frost TO later date
than usual.
The tobacco crop has been
housed generally in good condition
and ofexcellent quality.
Our corn crop surpasses any
former Experience
TheerOp of potatoes, both Irish
and sweet, is unusually fine
The crops Of fruits and vegeta-
Dles have proven abundant.
Much Of the fruit and vegetable
'rop have been advantageously
marketed.
Large quantities of fruit, espe-
tally peaches, have been dried, and
n this form have added materially

The Pleasures Of Rusiness.

No human mind is contented
without occupation. No human
soul is without an aim or purpose
in life. The greatest success in life
consists not in the mere accumu-
latiOn of riches, but in being able tC
acquire wealth with a disposition to
apply it in such a manner that ii
shall be a comfort and a blessing
TO others-not in the mere giving
away of money, but in put
ting people in way to labor and
help themselves.
There is no pleasure in oppres-
sion. There is no pleasure in
grinding and exacting gold from
the poor; but there is a great deal
of genuine satisfaction in being able
to offer steady and honorable en-
ployment to the many willing hands
that have nothing to do.
One of the q eatest enjoyments of
the prosperous business man con
sists in being able to comfortably
provide for the many employees IN
his house or mandatory. In doing
this he is fulfilling his obligation
to society; he becom, a useful and
hOnOred citizen; business to him is
a real pleasure; he enjoys his sue
cesses, when they are fairly won,
because he feels that he deserves
them.
When a business man has the
right kind of purpose in life he al
ways enjoys his occupation. He
feels a Just and worthy pride in his
prosperity, he is pleased with the
respect and gratitude of those whom
he directs and controls in the man
of his affairs, and he feels
that in benefitting himself he is con-
ferring a favor upon Others.- Cri-
terion.

to the income or to the stores of
our farmers.
Our forests have yielded immense
stores of nuts and acorns, so that
hogs will, in many localities, be fat
ted with but slight draft upon our
stores of corn.
Pastures have been excellent and
stock of all kinds are generally in
fine condition. In only a few To-
calities have epidemics among stock
prevailed. Hogs are reported as
scarce in nearly all parts of the
state, and it may be reasonably ex
pected that the price of pork, lard
and bacon, will continue to rule
high. While this may be expected,
1 do not apprehend that there will
be greater or even as great scar
city Of these commodities as in the
past season. The great abundance
of feed will lead those who have
hogs to make the most of them.
Sanitarians, | believe, universally
concede that the common diet ot
our people would be more whole
some if the hog, in its various
forms, entered less largely into the
composition.
The abundance of provender in
the country furnishes the opportu-
nifty by better feeding and more
care of milk cows, Of substituting
dairy products, milk, butter and
cheese for pork, bacon and lard
doubtless the substitution might
largely be made with advantage
both as to health and economy.
The dryness of the fall season
combined with the absence of frost
to destroy the various kinds of in
sect life, has caused farmers in some
portions of the state to delay the
sowing of wheat, though in other
localities quite a large acreage has
been sown, and the fields are now
becoming green with the promise Of
another harvest.
In view of the bounties which
Providence has lavished upon US
during the year the farmers of Ten
nessee have ample cause to join
with glad hearts in the national
Thanksgiving already proclaimed.

The Germantown Telegraph has
the following to say about horti-
cultural ''luck."
1t is very common to hear peo-
pie say that it is no use for them to
plant fruit trees. They have no
luck with them. But in truth luck
never did anything of any impor-
lance. We don't trust our farm or
general garden crop to this person,
Luck; but the sensible farmer and
grower employs good, careful ha ads,
and directs their work BY long ex-
perience, and the teeming harvest
field and luxuriant vegetable gar
den attest to their wisdom and in
dustry. There is no luck about it,
but careful measuring to the end
to be accomplished with the means
at hand to gain it. Whenever the
same means have been adOp-
ted with fruit-trees good results
have followed. In our own dis
trict there are loads" of people
who have wonderful success with
certain things that they set their
hearts on, and the growing of fruit
is among their successes. But
these men, we repeat, do not trust to
luck. The trees are pruned as they
ought to be and manfred with what
they need; precautions are taken
against injury from cueculio, and
borers, and thus industry and not
luck meets with its due reward.
Try it, as fruit raising and every
other crop raising ought to be tried,
and see how easy it is to get good
fruit and plenty of it, by going at
it in the night way"
