PEOPLE’S FRIEND. Carrying All the Paxtsin Farming. Rotation in tanning is under stood as an established necessity. This with respect to crops;* and the dairy is also included. With the latter may I e put sheep. This even where the land is more favor able bargrain—where it may read ily be worked and the soil is rich. In this case many farms do with out sheep, sheep being put on hilly and less accessible land. Sheep are probably here the most benefit. But they w ill add to .the income and benefit of any farm. All the branches, at least as a general thing, should be prose cuted. This, for one thing, .to meet all the market. If one or more fails another may succeed; some one or more products will always succeed either in growth' being affected by the season or otherwise, in the market. It is sel dom if ever, that all products fail, both in productiveness and price. Wool and mutton, and sheep in consequence, have been a loss to the general farmer for years till recently. The fruit crop the pres ent year are in the same condition; so are potatoes; so are some other products. Wheat is in demand; so are mutton and sheep and other products. Thus the products of the farm is fluctuating, and this yearly to a greater or less extent. To prosecute one ora few branch es alone is very risky; ruin is often the result. With the dairy this has less force; yet for the past few years there has been loss; loss with inferior and less properly managed herds. Wheat was a discouragement; now it begins to look up again. Thus changes arc constantly occuring. We need not point out the folly of being go vermal by these changes; and yet this is done. There arc two ways to take advantage of these changes. One is to carry all the branches (where climate ami soil will admit); the other is to thoroughly prosecute what is done —better culture, better stock, better treatment. During all the time <>i the low price of wool ami the loss in sheen, there were those who made it pay. They had good lambs ami a neat market and se cured good fleeces from their well kept flocks, and their mutton be ing of a good quality, comman ded a fait price; the whole put to gether showing a fair profit on the outlay; ami when the times changed and wool and mutton were in high they met their golden opportunity; they did not need to buy and then run the risk of a fall in the price. So with all kinds of produce of the farm. The best always finds a sale; ami il largely produced, on judicious outlay, can not help but remunerate when a good market is readily accessable. ('attic ami sheep should be kept as well as the of her usual stock of the farm. Poul. tn on a small scale can be made to pay well. The same may Im* said of swine. But there must be good breeds and good treat meat; hap hazard will not do. What ft r inn can not have a place set apart for fifty or a hundred hens! And if no more than a dozen or twenty sheep are kept—the best kind, carefully fed ami attended to each sheep averaging its lamb or more, and often first quality as to size and condition, the amount and quality of wool to correspond who cannot see that here is a nice little income with a fair percen tage of profit? You can make much or little out of a sheep. Yon thus have your lambs to sell, vour wool, your eggs, a porker or two, good surplus of butter ftotu a lew cows—you haVts your oatr. your wheat, youre »rn, your clover, and cornstalk to feed, and your muothy to sell, you have >otnc clover >eed to <lu>po#c of» some apples, tuay be other fruit, grapes, berries, veg enables you raise a calf or two. you raise tn fine your own stock. \ou thu* have as vhaucc for a perfect rotation, extended or varied at pleasure. Your clover enriches your Mid, so do your pasture and meadow t'ropcri. managed; yout corn improves y 0... laud. Inawotd. have an interest in the inaiket of every taiiu product, an<* }ou cau not fail to get a haigh price for som • o f them every year, and a loss on no with proper attention. Do what you <1 i„ the best way, then yon w ill ride the top o p the wave. —F. G., in Thita Herald' Grass and Pork. Feed more grass! These three, words contain and explain the entire theory of that practice by which any one can make hog rai sing—during the cholera—as profitable as the raising of any other kind of stock, if not more so, on account of their ready sale in any market every year. When I say feed more grass, I do not mean to advise you to turn your sows and pigs, and shoats and stock hogs upon a short crop of any kind of grass, or upon an old field in which the noxious weeds and briers luxuriate, or from which the cream of the best and richest herbage has been cropped by your bunch of mules, cattle or horses, and then expect your hogs to flourish, grow and fatten for the market, without feeding the corn at all. By no means; for bogs kept on such pasture must have corn, and that in ample quantities every day, if you would realize anything from their growth. A small but excellent hog raiser followed these rules: He fed about sixty-five acres in cloverand rye, while the clover was growing rapidly, he ti rued in the smaller ones: ami when it blossomed; he turned them all in until the rye was ripe enough, then turned them all on the rye to eat it down, and in this way the clover and the rye reseeds fields for years. Before the clover came, there was always a good blue grass pasture. The first of (ictober they were put up and finished on corn. On this plan his hogs wore always healthy and his pork cheaply made. Dreary Homes. Os all the dreary places, deliver us from the dreary farmhouses which so many people call “home. Bars for ti front gate; chickens wallowing before the door; pig pens elbowing the house in the rear; scraggy trees never cared for,or no trees at all; no flowering shrubs, no neatness no trimness. And yet a lawn,and trees, and a neat walk, ami a pleasant porch, and a plain fence around, do not cost a great deal. They can be secured little by little, at odd times, and the expense hardly felt. Ami if the time comes when it is best to sell the farm, fifty dollars so invested will often bring back live hundred. For a man is wrong who will not insen sibly give ;i higher price for such ;i farm when he thinks of the pleasant surroundings it offers his wife and chidren. Five Steps. — A man had com mitted murder, was tried, found guilty, and condemned to be han ged. A few days before his ex ecution he drew upon the walls of his prison a gallows with five steps leading u top it. On the first step he wrote, “Dis obedience to parents.” On the second step, “Sabbath breaking.” On the third step, “ Gambling and drimkeness. 44 On the fourth step.” Murder” The fifth step was the platform on which the gallows stood. This poor fellow doubtless wrote the history of many a wasted and lost life.
