1t is truly said that she who
makes two blades grow where but
one grew before is a public benefac-
tor But that man, after all, may
be a very poor farmer, Perhaps, he
could have given many more blades
without even raising half crop of
what the ground could be made to
produce. A good farmer may raise
fifty bushels of oats to the acre
where but ten were raised before |
am intimately acquainted with the
facts, circumstances, and the farmer
whose name, through modesty, !
dare not as much as mention) who
raised eighty bushels of oats to the
acre. The same man took an old
piece of meadow that did not pay
for moving, and raised in rotation
the following crops, with the results:
First, two hundred and eighteen
bushels of corn in the ears( or as it is
sometimes called, Single bushels J
was raised on an acre. This was
followed by oats. and produced seven
ty bushels to the acre, and this was
done in very dry and unfavorable
season, when the oats crop was con
sidered failure, and sold for seventy
five cents per bushel. Then spring
wheat, twenty-five bushels to the
acre, followed by clover and timothy,
producing immense crops Of hay for
several years. This was done to
find out what the ground is capable
reproducing. The ground and crops
were carefully measured by disinter-
ested persons, and the facts set forth
sworn to.
We admit that these were test
crops, and had great care and atten-
ton bestowed upon them by the own
er, but this will go to show what
one acre of ground can produce by
good farming, and what can be done
upon one acre can he done upon
many.
A quack farmer is like a quack in
any thing else, and an agricultural
lheorist, unsupported by practice, is
II mere puff Of wind A good farmer
must have energy and perseverance,
he must work us well as wish, labor
as well ms pay. His hands must be
as stout AS his heart, his arms as
strong as his head. Purpose must be
followed by action, words by blows.
1t is this that produces results,
builds and aecomplishcs what is
great, good, and valuable 1t is this
that built the pyramids on the plains
of Fig and leveled the forests of

Fruit and vegetable growers are
apt to look at the distant city mar
kct with maenifying glass, and to
overlook the advantage of the home
market in consequence. How fool
isll to reach for the stars to light
your pipe with, when you have a
match in your pocket.
The effect of damp ground and
stagnant water on fowls-especially
on young turkeys--is well known.
Fatal diseases follow as inevitably
in those cases as with human ex-
posture TO miasmatic exhalations.
A dry gravelly spot is absolutely
necessary to heathful conditions.
An excellent way to make a
strange COW feel "wonted' or con-
tented as possible-and there is
money in this to the dairyman-is a
daily use Of the card and brush.
Such use promotes her comfort, and
very quickly causes her to feel con
tented with her new master and
home.
