changed it for lands at par. Thus his
land cost him only about rs or 80
cents an acre. He put in his first
crop 1879, harvesting 400 acres OF
wheat, which yielded &c bushels to an
acre.
In 1880 his acreage was z, 1000 in wheat,
and it averaged 36 bushels to the acre.
the greatest yield ever known upon SO

800 acres in wheat, and it will yield
about 20 bushels TO the acre.

| ing yield of $4,000 bushels of wheat
from 1000 acres of land, made Mr..

Farming.

The glory of the farmer is, that in the
division of labor, it is mis- part to create,
all trade rests at last on his primitive
activity. He stands close to nature;
he obtains from the earth the bread
and meat; the food which was not, he
causes to be. The first farmer was the
first man, and all historic nobility rests
on possession and use of land.
The farmers Office is precise aud i'm
portant, but you must not try to paint
him in rose colors. You cannot make
pretty compliments to fate and CRAWL
tation, whose minister he is. He rep
resents the necessities. 1t is the beauty
of the great economy of the world that
makes his comeliness. He bends to the
order of the seasons, the weather, the
soils and crops, as the sails of the ship
bend to the wind. He represents con-
tinuous hard labor year in and year
out, and small gains. He takes the
pace of seasons, plants and chemistry.
Nature never hurries; atom by atom,
little by little she achieves her work.
The farmer ties himself to nature,
and acquires that livelong patience
which belongs to her; he must wait for
his crop to grow. His entertainme nts,
his liberties and his spending must be
on farmers scale, not a merchants
1t were as false for farmers to use a
wholesale and massy expense, as for
states to use minute economy.
He has great trusts contided to HIM.
In the great household of nature the
farmer stands at the door of the bread
room and weighs each loaf. 1t is for
him to say if men shall marry or not.
Early marriages and the number of
births are indissolubly connected with
an abundance of food. The farmer is
a boarded capital of health, as the farm
is of wealth, and it is from him that the
health and power, moral and intellec-
tual, of the cities come. The city is al
ways recruited from the country. The
men in cities, who are centres of ener-
gy, the driving wheels of trade, and the
women of beauty and genius-are the
children and grand caildren of the
farmer, and are spending the energies
which their fathers hardy, silent life
accumulated in frosty burrows.
He is continuous benefactor. He
who digs well, constructs stone foun-
dation, plants an orchard, builds dur
able house, reclaims a swamp, or so
much AS nuts stone seat by the way
side, makes the land so far lovely and
desirable, makes fortune which he
cannot carry away with him, but which
is useful to his country long after
wards.
Who are the farmers servants Geol-
ogy and chemistry, the quarry of the
air, the water of the brook, the light
ming of the cloud, the castings of the
worms, the plough of the frost. Long
before he was born The sun of ages de-
composed the rocks. mellowed his land,
soaked it with light and heat, covered
it with vegetable film, then with for
ests, and accumulated the sphagrum
whose decays made the peat Of his
meadow Ralph Waldo Emerson.
