Knowledge and Experience Necessary
to Success in Farming.
Many persons living in the cities*
think that if they fail in their busi
ness there) it is only necessary to go
to the oouptry, procure a small
piece of land to be assured of a com
fortable support. There never was
a greater mistake. If we were call
ed upon to specify the vocation that
required a longer apprenticeship
than any other, we should tr.o t un
hesitatingly name that of farming.
■The variety of work, the diversity
of crops, all requiring a different
culture, the judgment, tact and skill
required to manage employees; the
innumerable orders to be given, and
above all, the energy to be infused
into 'he business to make it profita
ble, require an executive ability of
no ordinary character. And then
the judgment necessary to arrange
the several fields so as to come in
regular succession; the cheapest
and best fences to be made; the fer
• tilizer to be used; the expenditures
to be made for labor proportioned to
the preponderance of certain crops
—all these demand an intellect
trained in the interest of the farm.
Indeed, (arming, to be successful,
mustbe carried on by one who has
a variety of knowledge. He must
know when to sow and how to sow,
when to reap to mow,
when to sell and when to keep,
when to discharge laborers and
when to hire them, the prices to be
paid ard t : e amount of work to ex
pect. He must be positive in his
management but not peevish. He
must direct so as to secure the re
spect of his employees, and he must
be surii a financier as to have money
enough on hand for the successful
prosecution of his business, but not
too much so as to lose by idleness.
No employer can manage a laborer
successfully who is destitute of funds
o i pay diy,
Asa general rule, no one can suc
ceed in (arming, unless he has been
reared on the farm. He may study
the theory; be familiar with all
the known laws pertaining to the
growth of plants, be able to analyze
the soil; to demonstrate the neces
sity of certain fertilizers; still if be
is deficient in a knowledge of the
practical details, he will certainly
f.il. To tell whin plowing is well
don-, is as important as to know
what crop the land will best pro
duce. To know how to make a
ridge, or how to lay off"a corn row,
or how to sow grain, or how to
p'ant or when to plant, is knowl
edge q U ii e a8 valuable.as to know
that, soils overlying limestone are
usu lly rich, or that manures con
taining ammonia are most valuable.

“What Shall We Do?”
This ever recurring question,
“What shall we do?” has yet res
ceived no satisfactory answer.—
Many of cur zealous farmers have
sug; ested various expedients tomtit
igate, if not to cure, our ills. Some
of them tell you “corn does not pay”
‘•Wheat does not pay,” and each
will suggest some substitute that
may be more profitable. “Raise
sh-ep” says one, “Plantground
pe.tc” unysa second, or “Potatoes”
sava a third. “Set out an orchard”
“Plant strawberries and the smaller
r bits for the markets,” “Go to truck -
;g generally.” “Cultivate small
i ms and make them rich.” All
*■ is may lie Very good advice in its
y, but it is obvious it falls far
abort of the needs ol a great agricul
tural community, with boundless
extent o' territory and without cap
iial r labor to culivate it.

Tillage is a good thing. Manure
is a good thing. But tillage and ma
nure together are far better than ei
ther alone. So I said to myself one
day as I walked across my corn field.
This spring I spread a little well-rot
ted manure on the poorer parts of
the field and plowed it in. I have
cultivated the corn very thoroughly
almost excessfully. The land was
far from clean, and I was determins
ed that not a weed should grow
that I could reach with a cultivator.
We harrowed the field four times
with a Thomas harrow after the corn
was planted, and before it was large
enough to cultivate. This is pretty
good tillage, and the corn on the
whole looks quite well for this sea
son ; but wherever the manure was
applied the effect is very decided.
Ido not think I ever saw so lilttle
manure do so much good. We did
not put on over five tons to the acre.
True, it was good manure, made
from sheep, cows, and .pigs fed
largely on bran, and was pretty well
rotted but still I think tfie good
tillage has helped the manure*, I
am sure the manure has helped the
good tillage,
What we want is good manure
and good tillage. And when 1 so
strenuously and so frequently urge
farmers to cultivate the soil more
thoroughly, I have pnecVly this re
suit in my mind. I never dreamed
of depending ultimately on tillage
alone. I use it merely as a step
ping-stone to something better. If
I have given any other impression it
must be because I do not write and
talk plainly and definitely. But it
is also just possible thai some peo
ple are careless readers and uucan
did critics.
How to treat Run down Horses,
When horses become worn out by
hard work, sometimes liberal feed
ing alone will not bring them up
again up to their proper state of
health. A writer in the Agricultu
rist says his animals were in that
condition of lassitude and weakness,
aud he sawed a battel in two and
placed ihe ends upon the platform
ol the pump, to be us°d in watering
the horses. Into one of them he
put a pailful of corn meal and mixed
itwi'hriie water. The horses nt
first did not like it. and would on'y
drink a little wh u v< ry-thirsiy.
After they had drank what they
would they were allowed pure wa
ter. In a few days, however, they
drank this com meal soup v iih a
relish, and in less than a week there
was a decided change for the better
in the appearance ol ail the horses.
He did not let them eat the meal,
but merely lei them drink the miiky
water. Th' re is no doubt but it is
as good for i hem a* a plrieofgood
oup is for a tired and hungry man
before dinner. It seems-to stirnu- !
late the appetite and aid digest on. '
