To Make Farmlujr Profitable.
“A Subscriber,” givna the following
M the rules that hare led to his success
in farming: “1. I cultivated double
the area that any of my neighbors do,
compared with the site of my farm,and
get double the average crope per acre
2. My rotation extends two years be
yond the usual course: Hoed and grain
crops, the first two years, of a charac
ter suited to the soil and the markets;
third year, clover; fourth year, whout;
then three years in hay. 3. Breeding
a large number of pigs an the most eco
nomical medium for the conversion ef
giain into money and manure. My pigs
are always cross-breeds, using a boar
of a quickly maturing breed ou selected
sows. They are all killed and sold at
•ix to eight months old. 4. The pur
chase of rich food, auch as bran and
cotton seed meal, for its manure value,
and to be fed in connection with straw
com stalks and swale hay,tliun enhanc
ing the value of this rather coarse fod
der. This enables me to mature grade
8hortbom steers inside of two and a
half yearn. I also feed oWer hay with
the coarse fodder. The first princ pies
of this system, that are essential to its
success in anybody's hands, are: The
use of more capita! than usual,improv
ed implements, commercial fertilizers
thorough cultivation, and Careful at
tention to the Neh-cCiuf) of seed.”—
American Agriculturist for April.
Farmers' Creed.
The Canadian Farmer publishes the
following creed, every article of which
' should receive a reajKmsive 4t ameu,”
from each tiller of the aoil i
We believe in small farms and thor
ough cultivation:
That the aoil loves to eat us well ns
the owner, and ought, therefore, to be
well manured;
In going to the bottom of things,and
therefore, in deep plowing and enough
of it; all the better if it bo a subsoil
plow;
Iu large crops which h ave lund bet
ter than they found it,making both the
farm and farmer rich at once;
That every farm should own a good
filmier;
Thar, tlm fertiliser of any soil is a
spirit of industry, enterprise and intel
ligence—without these, lime, gypsum
and guano will be of little n.se;
In good fences, good fierm-houses,
good orchards,aad good children enough
to gather the fruit;
In a clean kitchen, a neat v+ife in it.
a clean enphnard, a clean dairy, and a
clear conscience;
That to ask a man's advice is not
stooping, hut of much benefit;
That to keep a place for everything,
and everything in its place, s-ivesmany
a step, an t is pretty sure to lead to
good tools and to keep them in order;
That kindness to stock, Kke good
•belters, is a saving of fodder;
That it is a good filing to kesp
eye on experiments and note all, good
and hud;
That it iH a good rule to sell your
grain ween it is ready;
That it is a good thine to grow into
forming—not to pimp into it;
That all forming i* Hummed up in the
manure heap on the farm;
l« enriching t he soil according to
ii* requirement*.
Tfie Position of Agriculture,
In his essay on “Farming,” Emerson
writs* : “The glory of the farmer is
ttiat,. iiv the division of labors, it is his
part to create. All trade rents at lust
On his primitive activity. He atands
close to natnie; he obtains from the
earth the bread and the uwtt. The food

work, bat. every man has an exception-
1 r>apnct for ♦tHacv, and a fowling that
this is the original calling <»f his race;
that he himself is oulv excused from it
by some circuiustancv) which made hint
delegate it for a time to other Imuds.
If he has not some skill which recom
mends him to the furiuci>soiue product
fur which the farmer will give him
corn, he must himself return into hi
duo place among the planters. And
the profession bus iu all eyes its an
cient charm, as standing neaiext to
God, the first cause.” If agriculture
really occupies this positiou among the
industries, how imjairtaut it is for the
farmer to show piojHtv lespoot for hit>
calling, by doing his work in the best
manuer, by employing the best meth
ods, by making use of all that science
aud ex|ierieuce teach, iu order that he
may reap the greatest possible results,

Sorghum.
If tha cane is too ripe the syrup wil
be dark end not pleusnut to the taste.
Avoid the other extreme of liarveMtinp
too green, as the product will be weak
and upt io foment ami will not keep so
well, neither will the yield be so good.
Again, do not allow the cane to sucker,
as the syrup will iu thut case h-.t'e h
hitter taste. When the seed is in the
milk, strip the blades which inuy be
done very ex|iediiiously by taking a
lath uml striaing down the stalk. The
:lry blades near the ground may be
stripped by hand us they wi 1 absorb
the juice pressing the cane. Otheis
make two trestles, cut the cane and lay
on tlm tiestlus, strip the cane, ami in
either case it should be lied in bun
dles,if not ready to draw to the factory.
The cane may he set up on end under
cover, and kept dry until you have
time to haul it to thr factory. If you
leave the enne in piles «<n the ground,
pat something under it so the uir cun
circulate,and We sure not to cover wiih
anything that will prevent a free cir
culat.ion of air, or the cane will mould
and the syrup will taste musty
