Tho Accomplished Farmor.
The following extract furnishes nn
illustration of what is necessary to con
stitute the moat accomplished farmer:
" The idea that per foot farming consists
only in animus of labor nnd strength of
muscle, is at war with true philosophy.
The sailor before tho mast splic'H a
rope, steers the ship, or rows a boat,
with perfect skill. Hurled into the sen
he rides the wave with composure, and
ia saved in countless exigencies where a
Inndsmon would surely have perished.
Tossed fearfully on the yard-arm, amid
tlio play of the lightning, and sleet and
the tempest, ho reefs the sail with im
perturbable coolness. Is ho a perfect
sailor? Oh, no. Hilent, thoughtful
students aro at work in the national
observatories at London and Washing
ton, preparing the nautical almanac.
Maps and charts, indicating tho shoals
and reefs and coasts, are prepared for
him at great expense and oaro. Prof.
Maury has published his directions for
taking advantage of the wind and our
rents. By all the aids and appliances
which science has furnished, the niar-
inoer can indicate upon the trookl. ss
ooeati almost tho precise sj>ot lie occ

from whose deduction tho ship is
worked, the perfect sailor? Oh no I
But the man who unites tho highest
practical aptness and skill iu working
the alt ip, with tho scientific comprehen
sion that enables him to use all the
deductions of nautical science, he is the
moat perfect sailor. He may ho found
among tho ofilcers of the ship. The
most perfect union of principle amt

'The strong desire of smart, roppeoto-

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Bumag.—The Boientiflo American
says: Btimao is largely used in tan
ning the finer kinds of leather, espe
cially in tho manufacture of hard-
graioed moroooo and similar goods. It
is also employed aa the bane of many
colors in calico and delaine printing.
Probably the consumption of this article
throughout tho countnr for nil pur
poses aggregates moro toon 20,000 tons,
of which about two-thirds are imported
from Sicily, not because just as good
sumno cannot ho grown in this country,
hut heoanse until a few years ago, out
people did not know its vnlne, or in
what way to prepare it for tho market.
Tlio sumacs of Virginia, Maryland and
Tennesseo in particular are said to bo
tho best in tho world, nnd even their
worat articles have been offloially pro-
nonncod by exports to ho hotter than
any imported from Bioily, Almost
ovory farmer has a clump of these
hushes. Thoy tiro Called by some
"shoomako; by othorn, "rod shoo-
mnkn.” Probably many farmers may
have tried to kill them by cutting down.
Tf thoy have, thoy know how diffUmlt
a task it is. It grows like asparagus,
nil the better for being cut; and when
once started upon a lot and cut once a
year, it is as easy to cut os fodder. Tho
onlv tronblo is curing it properly.
This must bo dono with all tho care
that is given to tobacco or hops. Ex
posure, after cutting, to a heavy dew,
injures it, nnd a rain storm detracts
materially from its value. It is cut
when in fnll leaf, nnd when properly
dried is ground, leaves nnd stalks to
gether. An aero in full bearing will
prodBfitfcpot less than three tons, n- d
when fit for market it in wortli from $80
$100 per ton. Tho " manufacturers,”
tho ctirers aro called, pay ubont one
cent a pound for it in a green state. A
sumac mill costs about $3,000.
Wiiat is Manure ?—Any thing which,
upon being applied to the soil, causes
it to produce n moro abundant crop, is
manure. Manure is of three kinds—
natural, mental and mcchnnical. Nat
ural manure in any thing which, being
decomposed, assists tho earth to sup
port plant life. It was nature's original
agent in preparing the barren waste,
wbiob onr earth formerly was, os u fit
ting abode for mnn. The progress of
decay and death in the animal nnd veg
etable kingdoms in tho only inode of
creating natural manure, Tho final
destiny of nil animnl nnd vegetable lifo
In to be transformed to natural manure.
This is the beginning as well as tho end
ing of all earthly things.
Mental manure is brains—not the
animal composite which wo call our
brains, but tho aolivo, creative princi
ple, which in tho guiding (tower of man,
nd which, when applied to tho opera
ions of farming, produce the third kind
of manure, the mcchnnical. Meehan-
ioal manure in tho result of brains np
plied to rural affairs. Mechanical
manures ar« of moro real value to tlio
farmer than eithnr or both of the other
two. Mechanical manures consist of
voting 4 plows, harrows cultivators,
height MiiiidoM. ahnv,
spades, shovels, rakes,
Tf the farmer hockn on to the mechan
ical manures, guides tliom by a
thorough application rf tho mental
manure, and stirn up tho natural um

THE GRANGERS.
Withdrawal carda in Iowa are valid
for only six months.
Barahoo Grange, Wisconsin, has ar
ranged for weekly debates during tho
winter.
In Romo of the granges a "query-
box” 1ms been introduced. Important
questions aro written on slips of paper ;
tho secretary then passes tho box, col
lects and roads them, nnd tho members
of the grango who wish to do so give
their views npon the qnestionn read.
Hpeaking of the grange, a yonng man
remarked in onr hearing, the other day,
that ho didn’t see how he could bo bene
fitted by joining it; he had no groceries
to buy, and was at no loss for social
privileges ; ho believed it to he a good
institution for a certain class of farmers,
who oonld there receive advantages that
they otherwise oonld not have. Now
the gentleman is well educated, and
doubtless means well, and might be
useful aa a citizen if ho oonld only take
a broader view of his duties as such.
This, however, is but another exhibition
of short-ftightednesR nnd general defect
of character, caused by the training
hioh farmer boya receive. His lot is
coat among farmers, nnd it is very ap
parent to observing minds that whatever
perates for tho good of that community
may benefit each individual ; yet he
clings to the old poliey of doing nothing,
and of embracing no movement unless
ho can plainly aeo that ho is to be im-
mediately beneflttod by it. Such a per
il, until lie can take a moro enlarged
ew of things, would lm of no nso in
e gntDge; neither would ho he at
homo there. Association nnd co opera
tion mnst henceforward ho the rule of
farmers nnd Inlmring men, and the per
fect practioe of these requires the diffu
sion and exercise of good healthful pnl>-
lio spirit among them.—Ihripo Rural

HahmiiKhs Nettmrh.—It 1ms been
useertained by accident that, immedi
ately after a strong wind, nettles are
comparatively harmless. Some Frouch
laborers, having oocosinu to work in n
field infested bv this noxious weed, on
a day succeeding a severe wind-otorm,
found that they oonld handle the nettles
with impunity. Thair sting had lost
its virruleuce. M. Naudtn, in explain
ing tho occurrence, states that a strong
wind stimulates tho exhalation of the
poinou in tho stings of tho nettle, aud
ulier a time the eutire store secreted by
the plant will be completely ex bans tod.
Much was tho oaso in the instance re-
o$Mod. The troth of tho statement is
supported by tho fact that, eight days
af cr tho gale, tho nettles had refilled
their sacks of poiaou, and woro as
vicious os ever.

—A correspondent of tho Colonial
Faqncr, whom the editor declares to be
a practical breeder, writes that to bun
dle hogs to the best advantage a pas
ture is needed of green grass—clovor,
blue grass nnd timothy—and it is
if there iB no running water or stock
(Hinds iu the lot. Hogs do hotter where
there are no branches or stock ponds to
wallow in. Iu place thereof have well-
water pnmped for thorn, nave troughs
made and nail stripe aortHts, eight inches
apart, to keep tho hogs from lying down
in tlio water, and lot theao troughs be
placed on floors, to keep them from
digging np wall owing* hole*. If feed
be given, it should be soaked in swill-
barrela for twelve hours before feeding
no longer—and fet'd to them as drink.
OmCKMN cholera is caused by several
things. Da p, unclean quarters, im
Wirewntor, or a scarcity of water, in
digestion, produced from want of
gravel, overfeeding or unwholesome
food, nnd too much confinement^ will
each and all prodneo it. The removal
of the cause is the first remedy ; the
uext is t-o give half a teaspoonfnl of
castor oil, followed by a pill of casUle
soap and black pepper, several times n
day, with boiled sweet milk and bread
for feed, nnd clean water, in which n
little copperas has been dissolved, for

Pai'kb Imitation of Lbathkh.—A
most deceptive imitation of leather is
manufactured, according to a process
discovered by Dswidowski, from parch
ment paper. It is as soft nnd pliable
aa leather, and resembles it peifectly
in oolor nud fiuiali, and, like it, ran bo
glued, pressed, stamped, gilded, etc.
It, therefore, forms a perfect substitute
for the fancy leather for nmiy pur
poses, As binding of books it ‘resists
chnuiou extremely well, snd ia not
affected by dirt or even water. It is
also free from tho objections to lonther
as a lining for hate, since it is unaffected
by perspiration.

tho experiment of co-operation in liny
ing haa proved successful. Efforts,
however, to relieve farmers from tin
cost of supporting middlemen, iu sell
ing, have so far failed. The only end
gained by tho railway law suit of last
winter is, that nothing more is hoard ol
chartered rights above legislative power.
The failure of the law is not in itself,
but ln its execution. Designed to re
lieve farmers from unjust burdens, il
