System in Farming:

There is perhaps no depart
ment OF business in which a def
mite and consistent system of
management is so much needed
as in farming. In England and
Scotland, where an extended
experience is the guide in prac-
tice, and where from the great
value of land, the highest rents
are paid by the tenant farmers,
we find in each locality a very
general conformity to a well
planned system of farm practice,
which is reasonably claimed,
under the circumstances, to give
the best results. The low price
of the virgin soils of America,
when first brought under Guilt
walton. together with a lack OF
markets for a variety of pro-
ducts, and the many other con-
ditions inseparable from the
settlement of new country,
have led to habits OF practice
that are perhaps best defined
by their lack ofsystem. Under
these conditions presented in
what may be called pioneer
farming, the tendency is to
grow almost exclusively, some
particular crop, that commands
a ready sale at paying prices,
without taking into considera
ton the effects of its contin-
uous growth on the future pro-
ductiveness of the soil. The
pioneer who is subjected to the
hardships and privatlons that
are of necessity connected with
the first settlement of a new
country, SIS undoubtedly enti-
tied TO receive the full benefit of
the accumulated riches of the
soil he brings under cultivation,
and the securing" practice he
resorts to, although uniformly
censured by theoretical writers
is without doubt, under the cir
cumstances. the best he can
possibly adopt for his own i'm
mediate interests.-Dr. Manly
Miles, in American Agricultur-
list for October.

Why do Farmers Boys Leave the
Farmi

Schulenburg Enterpise-
All over the rural districts of
the nation, there is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the young
men and boys to leave their
childhood's home and seek sue
cess in life in the cities and vii
lagos.
This action, though natural
under the surroundings, and
causing great anxiety to the
paternal mind, is but the prompt
ings of that youthful spirit or
vim always inherent in the
healthy, vigorous youth.
Mans very nature, no matter
what his situation may be,
prompts the endeavor to better
himself; to get above his pres
emit plain. Hence the plow-
boy, catching glimpses either
through books, or from obser-
Walton, of what he deems a
higher, more enjoyable life, is
eager to leave the unnecessary
drudgery to which he is con-
demned and seek happiness and
prosperity in the crowded city.
The parents being fully con-
tent on the farm, cannot see
why their boys are not also con-
tent, and are disposed to blame
!! the boy, when the blame, if any,
attaches to themselves. They
stimulate land this is laudable)
the boys intellect by pointing
him continually TO the PROBES
sions, or to the example of far.
mer boys who have gained en-
viable distinction in the councils
of state, and then fail to supply
the demand for mental food
thus induced.
There are two ways to keep
farmers boys at home, the one
is to give them all the mentaI
food needed. The other is by
a total neglect of education and
a life of constant toll !; to destroy
every budding germ of am5i'
ton.
When the father honors hi:
calling by an intelligent follow
ing, and meets the demands o
the sons mind, then will We
find intelligent young men be
tween the pillow handles, and no
before.

Mining Notes.


Arizona, in 1881, produced
SI,s63,ooo worth of copper bull
lion.
New Mexico is put down as
one of the largest copper fields
in the world.
The copper production of
Arizona for 1882 is estimated at
100000 pounds.
The Little Pittsburg mine of
LeadviIle paid a dividend of
$1,000 in December.
Ore worth from $500 to S.
600 ton has been struck in the
silver district of Arizona.
In II months of 1881, ending
December 24th, SIo,S4e.665
were received in New York.
Nevada's bullion product of
1881 amounts to So, so5,o1I,
against sI55655,967 for 1880.
California has paid IS per
cent on the money invested
there in mines since the discov-
cry of gold in that state.
An immense bed of sulphur
has been discovered at San Pc
DIRE, IS miles from Wallace, on
the A. T. & S. F. railroad.
The Longfellow Copper Mi
ming Company Of Clifton, Ari-
iona, have a contract for all the
copper they can produce in the
next FIVE years.
The rich fields of gold ore on
the Rio Bonito in Lincoln
county, New Mexico, are crea-
ting considerable excitement
among White Oaks prospectors.
Large bodies of coal, of an
excellent quality, have been
found near White Oaks, N. NJ.
It is said to be better than the
Trinidad coal. This discovery
of coal viii prove a great bene-
fit to mining operations in that
section.
The silver mines in the Bu-ro
mountains. in Grant county, N.
NJ, are said to be looking re-
3.narkably well. Work on them
is progressing finely, and they
are opening up beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the

From the London Truth.
1t is a remarkable fact that
whereas most English states
men die neither richer nor
poorer than when they took to
politics. French statesmen
almost invariably wax richer.
Beginning with hardly anything
they graviate into palaces and
country homes and into posses
sion of rentes and other such
property. II they donot specu-
late themselves their wives do;
il they have no wives, then some
convenient friend does. | have
often wondered that opposition
journals in France do not insist
upon knowing from what mys-
FERROUS sources ministers derive
their wealth. Their editors, l
suppose, hope some day to be-
come ministers themselves, and
therefore do not like to intro
duce the pubic behind the
scenes.

Labor on the Farm.

As the labor problem is one
of the most difficult that the far
mer has to deal with, the plans
of the farm should be arranged
with reference to it, so that the
greatest economy, consistent
with efficiency, can be practised.
The order of the crops in rota-
ton, and the system of feeding
and care of the live stock, will
determine, to great extent, the
importance of a distribution of
labor. This is one of the great
advantages Of a mixed husband
ry, that cannot be SO readily
practised in an exclusive system
of special culture. It would be
desirable, under favorable con-
ditions, to arrange the details of
management. SO that work could
be profitable provided for a fix
ed and uniform force through
out the year. By this means it
would be possible to avoid pay
ing high prices for extra labor
during the season of harvest,
and it would at the same time
be for the interest of the farm
laborer, who could thus obtain
steady employment.
Under a well planned system,
it would not be necessary to
make any marked increase of
working force on the average
farm at any season of the year,
If full advantage is taken OF the
improved farm machinery that
can now be readily obtained for
a variety Of purposes. In the
cases where it is not possible to
secure an exact uniformity in
the distribution of labor, it will
be best TO make as close an ap-
Proclamation to it as possible
