A GRICU l. T u r A L,
FARMING TO GET RICH.
II may be wholly idle to attempt to|
stem the tide that II rising with such .
force in this country In favor Of moro
riches, but in the case Of farmers 1t 10
a. we'll to lay the simple truth before
them - to Withhold. Without In the
least prssuming 10 dictate motives or
aims TO any class Of mon, We may never
theless say with perfect truth and re-
spect for their status and privileges,
that farmers OF all men are the very
last ones who need trouble themselves
about riches - other people do. Possess
ing and living upon their own produc-
tive acres, they have oil the requisite
resources Of wealth constantly In their
cwn hands. They are sure Of shelter, Of
food, and Of needfnl clothing; to toll
and moil, pinch and screw, starve and
deny, merely to be accounted worth .
% rtain amount Of money, 10 only vast
ing the precious term Of life which
might be used to far better purpose.
We will indulge in no mOralizing on
the subject further than TO say that TO
60 without in order 70 scrape together
. certain sum OF money, and then TO
leave it behind without ever having
the productive and enjoy able use of IL,

against the accidents Of life and the In
firmities Of possible old ago, Ii ofcourse
every mans duty, and should supply
the healthful stimulus to exertion
but to become slave, to starve the
higher and better nature, and TO deny
rational enjoyment TO ones self and
family merely TO be reckoned
worth 30 many dollars, Is folly indie
fensible.
A man on his own farm, we'll Guilt
waited and kept, we'll stocked. with good
modern d wellings and barns and GU:
buildings, master of both time and
acres, tied TO no hours by the call o.
bslls or whistles, free 10 come and &
according 10 the necessities Of nons
but himself, mostly In his own 6eldi
and performing his healthful labor
within sight Of tho smoke Of his owl
chimneys, 10 surely IS rich in the genu
Inc sense Of that word - any man car
be. He has nothing to fear and nobody
to envy. OF one thing he Is sure al
his days, and that 10 . sufficient living
and that is what other men are neve
sure OF without single pang OF doub
or apprehension. There Is his land
. there IL his home there Is all the ami
mate and ipauimate machinery OF hi
establishment and for the rest he look
in profound trust to the bounty O
heaven.
Instead Of this unworthy and de
moralizing anxiety to get rich. II tn
average farmer once being solidly 81
tablished. would resolve to enlarg
and exalt his life An it Is, to make NOR
out of that, to enjoy AS much as possibl
of what there is to be enjoyed, to ador

BONES AS A MANURE.
Pick up all the homes you can find
lput them under cover, and mix wit
. two or three times their bulk of asht
from your kitchen; mOisten enough
that the potash may act on the gelatin

the bones 30 tender that you can G,
land crush them with one blow Of y0l

mass and you will have manure bett'

SOUR MILK FOR POULTRY.
There Is scarcely better food 4
poultry, young or old than sour mi
allowed to thicken and with porto
Iof the whey drained off, or 1t may
used for wetting dough without sep
rating the whey. Farmers who have
surplus Of skinned milk, or famili'
who keep but ono COW, can scarcely q
better than to use the surplus for fec,
ing poultry. 1t will pay better than
fed to swine, as poultry and eRl
always bring better prices BY Il
pound than swine flesh.
GRAIN AND POULTRY.
II one.half the grain fed to hogs
this country was given to poultry
would secure much more profitab

perhaps four TO six pounds Of porl
but the same amount of grain will wi
ter o hen, and her eggs and choke
4 will be worth three or ten times
y much ~ the pork. Poultry is probab
the only class of stock from WIN
profit can be had, feed ing only
grain food.
