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.

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, and thereby comjiel fw-ople in otliei callings tohelievu what Fmerson says of this one.
