Hgrituttmal Uqwrtmrnt,
From the Ohio Farmer
How to Retain Bays on Ihe Farm.
Since my last article containing
advice to a certain class of young
men was dispatched to you, I have
been led by further reflection to think
that it should be followed byanolh-
er of similar character, though ad
dressed to the parents instead ot to
thechildren. Inthearticle referred
to. I considered the disposition only
to leave the farm to engage in al- j
most any other pursuit, without re-' ‘
ferring, except very briefly, to the
cause or causes which had brought
such a disposition into existence,
fostered and nurlered it to vigorous
growth. I then pointed out the evil
as it existed, but I propose in my
present brief disquisition to arrive
more definitely at the root of this
evil (f>r such I consider it) and point
out the means by which it may, m a
great measure, be averted.
Do not suppose that I shall at
tempt to give you a recipe to lie
compounded as you would prepare
a remedy for a sick horse. .Nothing
of the kind. Instead of this I desire
to hold a few minutes plain conve
sation with you.
Go with me if vou will into al-
fdeclare (and who could upbraid
! them for it) that they "'ill never
! doom themselves to such a slavish
life. But we have followed this suf-
! ficientlv far; let us pass along to
j where John Smith is gathering his
two thousandth bushel of fruit and
; learn what detains his daughter near
i him so long.
‘Father,’ I hear her say, ‘Can’t you
get the house painted and buy some
new blinds this fall ? It is looking
exceedingly shabby.’
‘No, 1 have no money to spend for
paint arid such like useless stuff.’
‘What has become of that thou
sand dollars the commission mer
chant sent you a draft for the other
day ?’
‘Oh, that’s in the bank. I must
use it lo buy that piece of limbered
land adjoining my south line.’
‘I can’t see whatyon want of more
land. You’ve got a thousand acres
now, and I’m sure we ought to be
hie to live in as good a house as
keeper
Sam McArthy, the saloon
down town.’
‘The house is good enough,’ he
replied with a shrug of the should
ers. ‘You and Nellie and the boys are
beginning lo be loo good ior farmer’s
children. You are trying to put on
too many airs; got some city notions
in your head I guess.’
Getting too good for farmer’s chil
dren are they ? As much as lo say
that farmer’s sous and daughters are
a little below those whose father sell
calico, compound medicines or re
tail intoxicating liquors ; as though
your daughters had not as good a
| right to ‘put on airs’ or, in other
r words, dress and appear well as the
laughter of your neighbor Dr. Jones;
. i as though it would not lead as much
nwstanv larmrng community and 1 1D their comfoii as your own lo live
let us gather-together examples from j •
real life as rhey chance lo fail within
our observation. There is Charlie,
“old Brown’s” son, earnestly talk
ing with his father. Let us listen for
a few minutes (detestable though
the practice may be) and gather the
purport of their conversation.—
“Father, can’t I go to the Fair to
morrow ? ” asked Charlie with a sort
of hopeless, despondent expression
overspreading his youthful counten
ance.
‘No, there aint no time lo be wasted
by running to Fairs; for there’s
them two acres of potatoes yet to
dig, the apples to gather and no end
to the work that’s lo he done.’
‘But, father, I will work all the
harder and make up for the time I
lose in just going one day. I have
not been gone a clay this fall.’
‘No, you can’t go. If you was old
enougli to go alone it would be dif
ferent, but at your age I’m not go
ing to allow you to be gadding
about the Fair ground all day and
in all soitsof company. If I’d let
you alone to run lo your heart’s con
tent into all kinds of company, you’d
soon be like Jim Clark ; the miser
able, drunken, thieving wretch!’
Can’t trust your son alone occa
sionally a day to seek hisovvn pleas
ure and society then! Just the
same as tell him that if you do he
will be a ‘miserable, drunken,thiev
ing wretch,’ it you allow him to fol
low the bentot his own inclination.
You must certainly admit that he
has inherited honest, honorable, no
ble principles from his predecessors.
Ah ! I hear you say, “He must wait
until he has his moral character
more fully developed and his princi
ples more firmly established.’ That’s
an biteipslitig theory indeed. About
as reasonable as a certain old lady I
once read of, who would not allow
her son lo go neat (he water until
he knew how to swim. How do
you expect that his pnnciples are to
be established and tiis moral cour
age si lengthened to resist tempta
tion if he is always kept under your
nose? More of that spirit of man
hood, more strength of charily is de
veloped by resisting one temptation,
by refusing lo lake one glass of in
toxicating liquor with an acquaint
ance, by putting down in his own
mind the first inclination lo throw'
the dice of the gambling table, than
bv bong led about lied lo your coal
tail for an age. But that is not the
reason you will not permit him logo
and it you had not made the same
excuse a hundred times before under
similar circumstances, your own
conscience would upbraid you for
the falsehood. You have toiled so
long from early dawn till the shades
of night shut you out from tasks of
toil, you have enslaved yourself so
much (when pprhaps the condition
of your financial matters rendered
such a course a little more excusa
ble) that it has become to you a sort
of “ second nature.” You have in
ear lit rdavs denied yourself so much
that what inclination you once may
hive had lo see what there is lobe
seen is almost or entirely lost, and
with a mind thus dwarfed, you judge
and pass sentence upon the actions
of oiliers under your Control.
Eternal work, work, work is your
sole purpose, desire and pleasure.—
You tell your sons that they cannot
afford to spend there valuable time
running to Fairs, shows and the
like, but if they would succeed, they
must toil from early dawn to set of
sun, and what is the result 1 What?
Why, it is this and nothing less:—
Brought up under the influence «f
such teaching, both by precept and
example, they are led to regard a
life upon the farm as nothing more
ot less than self-imposed serfdom ; a
continual struggle with poverty for
&n honest livelihood, and with such
STi impression on their minds, they
were you a speculator in stocks in
stead of a fruit raiser or a tiller of
the soil, as the case may he. That’s
where the trouble lies. By such re
marks uttered .almost every day of
your life, you virtually acknowdedge
yourself not quite equal in the social
scale to your neighbor who is, per
chance, engaged in what you are
pleased to term more genteel em
ployment.
My prescribed limits in the pres
ent at tide will not allow me to pur
sue the subject to that extent I would
like to, but let me before closing say :
instead of continually deprecating
your condition in life and contrasting
it unfavorably with that of others not
more and often not so honorable,
strive to elevate it to that high stand
ard by which it is truly lo be meas
ured when compared with other oc
cupations of the human race.
Instead of saying that your un
painted hou e is good enough, } r our
carriage sufficiently elegant, etc., for
a farmer, when you ean abundantly
afford a better, strive lo surround
yourself with all those little advan
tages which go to render your home
and mode of living more attractive.
In short, make your home pleasant
and attractive and habits of life
agreeable, and you will have little
trouble in banishing from the minds
of your sons and daughters that
aversion to a life on the farm which
now so often drives them to seek
other occupations less pleasant and
profitable. C. T. LEONARD.
Farming that Pays.
In a recent conversation with one
of the best farmers in one ot the riv
er towns in this county, he remarked
that he hadn’t made much money
from farming for the last ten years.
His neighbors had sold hay every
year at high prices, had money and
government bonds ‘salted down.’ If
he had pursued the same course he
could have ‘made money’ in their
acceptation of the term. ‘But do
you mean that you have made noth
ing by farming for the last ten years?’
‘No, J suppose not exactly. I have
improved my farm, and now cut 20
tons of hay moie than l did ten
years ago. I have rebuilt and bet
tered my buildings, set out a new
orchard, and schooled my children,
but I havn’t laid up any money.’ in
this reply was obtained just the in
formation we wished lo get by our
question.
Here was a well .to do farmer,
having as good a farm as ‘lays out
doors.’ In ten years he had by lib
eral manuring and judicious crop
ping doubled the yield of hay pro
duced, and as all this hay had been
fed out o« the farm had of course
doubled the amount of stock kept,
and the means of improving and
raising larger crops in the future;
he had repaired his buildings at a
cost of several hundred dollars;
started a new orchard ; obtained a
good living; paid his bills and
schooled his children; (and much
more is comprehended in this last
than at first Appears—it doesn’t
mean simply that he has given his
bo)s and girls such an education as
cliildien obtained ten years ago,
th< y hacFbeen sent away where they
have received greater advantages,
hut in sending them away have come
large expenses); and yet half makes
a complaint that he hasn’t made
much money by farming! Is he cor
rect or not ?
Isn’t there evidence of more wealth
than could be shown by bis neigh
bors who have sold their bay every
year, and salted down ‘legal ten
ders?’ Hasn’t he a better capital
than they; isn’t his investment, in
the single item ofeducating his chil
dren, paying or likely to pay a bet
ter dividend than bank stock? And

The Boy on the Farm. | l | ,al>1 i , .u a "!! I “Short Pi’olilS and Quirk Sal'S."
A great deal has been said of late
about woman’s rights, the lights of
colored citizens, Chinaman’s rights,
the rights of dumb animals, &e.
Nearly every class of persons have
had their champions, ami boys, too
have bad theirs; but I propose to
turn aside from boys generally, and
talk for the boy on the farm. I
mean the youngest boy on the farm
“is endowed by the Creator
with certain inalienable rights;’’
there does’nt that sound like a
Jefferson cry? You acknowledge
by words that it is so, but how do
your actions speak?. Here, boy,
you go to bed now—just as he gets
settled to read the paper, which all
the rest have read—you go to bed
so that you can get up and build the
fire in the morning. Boy, you wait,
the seats at the table are full with
out you, with an emphasis on the

no account. Boy, go drive those
cattle out of the corn anti away he
goes as fast as his little legs can
carry him, while you and a half
dozen others stand still and watch
him; he must go on all the errands,
and not only go, but must run of er
rands; he must carry all the water,
must do all the little, mean, nasty
jobs, that neither you nor your men
will do. He must get the cows
every time afoot, while there are
three or four horses lying still in the
stable; and not only must he do all
these things, but he must be blamed
for doing them as he does them. If
the men have a little bile they want
to w’ork off, they scold the boy. If
your supper does n »t rest well on
your stomach, you accuse the boy of
leaving the gate open last week, or
of some other ancient fault ot his.
It the gate gets off its hinges, the
boy did it. Iflhe old rooster dies,
that careless boy fed him coin from
the salt-dish. If a sheep gets its
leg broke, that ugly, little boy did
it, throwing stones at it. If the pail
is lost, the boy dropped it in the
well. If any tool is mislaid, the
boy—the boy is the cry—left it out
of place.
He is the one that steals all the
pears, breaks all the forks, kills all
the geese, founders all the horses,
eats all the preserves and gets all
the blame; and not only does all th^
wrong things but he never does any
thing well. Ifhe turns the grind
stone for two hours al a time, he
does it too slow. If he increases
his speed, he turns too last; no mat
ter ifhe works like a lttle steam en
gine, he is still that liazy boy. If
lie works till he faints away, he
is good for nothing, always gelling
sick.
He never has a toy. unless his
cousin from the city give him a cast
off fish line or a broken kite; but
that matters little, for he never is al
lowed a moment for play.
He never has any clothes of his
own. His shoes are some his older
brother out-grew, but which there is
little danger of his out-growing.—
His hat is one you wore out first.—
He never has but a very few new
things, and would n)t have these but
for his mother.
He is generally tough—you say-
on account of your admirable train
ing. The world looks at him and
says he is tough, because he has
to be, and because Providence has
seen fit to prepare him for your ty
rannical rule.
“Now, Mr. Farmer, does this mean
you? I- this, or is it not, a fair pic
ture of the boy on your farm ? If not,
then you can finish this article with
out a troubled conscience ; but, if it
;s, just consider one moment: run
back in your mind thirty-five, forty
or fifty years, and ask yourself were
all those accusations just ? Was it
mi/.faultalways when 1 was blamed ?
Think a while—it won’t hurt you;
then cofhe back from your reverie
to the present moment; ask your
self if you have been just? Have
you been patient ? Have you been
as careful as you might in your
judgments ? Have you done to the
boy as you would be done by ? An
swer these questions, friend as you
are a just man.
Consider that your boy is the em
bryo man. Do by him as you would
have him do when he grows up lo
manhood. If you would have him
generous, do not be small and stingy
with him. If you would have him
one whose disposition is lovely, be
not churlish and sour to him, for he
may in fnany things—most assured
ly iu some things—be the photograph
of yourself.—Exchange.
Something to Shoot.—1 say, boy, is
there any thing lo shoot around
here?” inquired a sportsman of a boy
he met.
“Well,” replied the boy, “nothing
just about here; but our school-mas
ter is just over the hill, cutting birch
rods; you might walk up and pop
him over.”

which forcibly carries the mind along

The past season has been the most unfavorable one for Fertilizers since the general iutroduc
tion of them into the States of Georgia and South Carolina. In the early Spting it was much
too >ret. the grass and weeds gettinga powerful sta’T, while later on, and when the plant was
g-nerully in a most promising condition, there came, at a most critical time, a severe drought,
which cut down the yie d of the crop very materially. Yet with all these disadvantages, we
believe that there are very few instances, out of the thousands where Wfiann’s was used, where
t failed to pay the planter a profit on its cost, in the extra yield oier and above the natural pro
duction of the land. We trust it will be many years before we have such an unfavorable sea
son again. YVe have arranged to sell Whann’s at same prices and terms as last season, say .f5l
