ness and prosperity. We need more
science and greater skill in our farming
int« rents. In every combs there ought
to bean agricultural school where litera
ture and science are taught and blended
with labor. We piopose that tin* branges
of every county lease a plantation and es
lab ish'a school of tins kind. Competent
teachers could be procured, and cheap
buildings elected, so as t.. give the ex
periment a lair trial. Tile board and tui
tion ol the pupils should lie paid by them
in a certain number of hours’ daily work
upon the farm. The most improved ag
ricultural implements should lie used.
Tbc pupils should be subjected to tin-
most, rigid discipline and the most tem
perate habits. Not a particle of loot!
should be bought for the iann—all should
be produced thereon. The greatest in-
dustrv and economy should .beenforced.
No boy miller twelve years of age should
be received into the school. We need ed

taught and enforced, will insure the suc

educated farmers scattered all over the

to diil'usu among the great body of the
community educated farmers who are
practical workingmen. The different
tiranges of the county should organize a

important t-> educate fanners than it is to
educate lawyers, physicians and minis
ters—because agriculture is the basis of
every other business, and its prosperity
is tii'ivsMiry to secure success to any other
vocation. No branch of business demands
improvement so much as agriculture.

Farmer.
John Johnson, ot Geneva, N. Y. (no-*
■:gUiy-seven years old,) is acknowledged
to be the most successful, common sense,
practical farmer in the United States.
We uotice that the Elmira, N. Y. Husband
man has an account of a late visit to this
venerable farmer. The lann, on which he
has lived since 1821, was purchased soon
after reaching this country from Scotland,
and the land was not thought to be valua
ble, as the crops that grew on it were
light. “ But it was fortunate for me,”
said Mr. Jobuson, “ that I had learned in
the old country the value of mauure, and
how to apply it. It was fortunate also
that I understood the advantage of drain
ing, for I soon louud that was the great
want of the farm. I sent to Scotland for
samples of tiles aud had them made here.
My improvements, through draiuiug, soon
attracted great attention. 1 drained my
farm as rapidly as I could meet the ex- •cf*
peuse, and applied all the mauure I could
make. I grew splendid crops of wheat
and corn. Corn I found was a very pro-
litable crop. The stalks we^o^cullojit
teed for animals. My wue ~“
sho could make betteisbUth

raised was forty-two andjy

seed. My rule is to apply manure several
months before it is plowed under. I pile
my manure in the spring, aud in the fall 1
spread it on such land as I intend to plow
the following spring. One gieat object I
have in piling iny manure, is to destroy
all weed seeds, it the manure is handled
enough, all seeds will be destroyed

Frollts of a Small Hairy.
Wo began this year with seven cows.
At the end of three months I purchased
one more, and a three-year old heifer
and a month later I bad a heifer come in
ui fourteen months old.
Now by reckoning these two heifers (as
fanners frequently do) equal to oue cow
I have with the nine months of the cows
purchased, eighteen months, or oue cow
aud a half to add to tho seven, which will
give an average of eight and one-half cows
through the year. One cow died in No
vember, just after calving, which was a
loss to the dairy for six weeks of a new
milch cow, or sixty pounds ol butter ac
cording to her former record. I make no
allowance for this, but throw it in to make
good the account with the heifers. The
death of this ccw which was eausedTty
necideut, is the first aud only one occur
ring in thirty-five years, which is the
whole time I have been keeping cows,
and this, I think, is an argument iu favor
of good keepiug, warm stables, and care
ful management of cows generally. We
fiud that oar dairy book has credit for the
eight and; a half cows, of 935 pounds of
cheese, 2284 pounds of butter; aud the
Have raised 187 bushels of ears of corn to
the acre (equal to ninety-three and a half
bushels shelled corn.) This was a little
more than au average, although I have
had large crops all the time. I plant my
corn in drills three feet lour inches apart
getting as near as possible five kernels to
a foot. I have not planted in hills for
thirty years. A good hand will plant seven
acres a day with a drill, and when the field
of corn is plowed, a skillful workman will
turn a furrow so closely upon the row, as
to perfectly cover up and smother any
weeds which may appear”
It must lie remembered that the kind of
coi n grown in New York State is the small
kind, and hence the rows of corn can he
placed nearer together than it would be
proper to place them where the larger
varieties of corn are raised.
