AGRICUXaTUXI SLli. Kulc« to Make a Farmer Poor. 1. Not taking a good agricultural paper. 2. Keeping fcn account of homo op perations. l’aying no attention to the maxim : “A stitch in time saves nino,’ in regard to the sowing of grain and planting of seed at tho proper season. 8. Leaving tho reapers, plows, cul tivators, etc., uncovered from tho rain and heat of the sun. More money is lost in this way than most pooplo aro willing to believe. 4. Permitting broken implements to be scattared over the farm until they aro irreparable. One of the Seven Wise Men of Greece said only this to prove his sense : “The tirno to mend the plow is when the plow breaks.” 5. Attending auction sales and pur chasing all kinds of trumpery, because, in the words of tho vendor, aud arti cles are “very cheap.” 6. Allowing fences to paired until strange cattle are found grazing in your fields and bruising tho fruit trees. 7. Planting fruit-trees with tho ex pectations of having fruit, without giv ing tho troos half the attention roquiro od to make them produce —Journal of Chemistry. 8 And this is a surer method thau either of tho sovon named —Plant cot ton only, and buy grain, meal , stock, cat tle, fertilizers, foraye, and all things cite from abroad.— | Eds' South urnku. Docs it Pay t« Farm Well ? Improvement, Fruit, ikt. Little do most of our farmers roa lize the value, so to say nothing of the pride, pleasure, convenience and looks of a farm well and oloanly attended. Snug buildings well painted, tho lawn or yard filled with evergroous and shrubbery, the ivoy and honeysuckle entwining their fairy fingers over your latticed verandah, or led up over a window exposed to the glory of a noon day sun. Tho fruit garden supplied with all tho varieties of small fruits, a good orchard growing, an acre in gr«pos ; fonce corners cloar of woods, corn clear, of woods, fine wolls of wa ter, a well sot pasture of blue gross, an evon level rnoadow, fields all fenced off separately, a barn and sheds to sheltor all stock and grain, a hennery, pig pons, granary and cribs. Those reader go to mako up a pleasant agree able and paying farm. Wo know of such a farm, that four years ago was a wild expanse of prairio, not a foot in cultivation or tho least improvement; it was bought at time for fifteen hun dred dollars. A farm or piece of land containing throo hundred acres. It was purchased by tbreo brothers—all young men—who had left, to improve tho land after paying for it, about one thousand dollars apioco; thoy went to work is rarno.it, broke prairio, fenced, pot in fall grain, built stables, small framo houses, sot but Osago hedges and planted fruit and shade trees for tlirofl yoars; two of them married a year ago and dotormiuedlto go further West. Tho faun v,ai sold a short time ago, and brought sixty dollars an acre. Eighteen thousand dollars for throo boys in four years—as tho grain sold and stock roared more than paid book their first outlay. This may soem an exception rather than a rule, but the exception is on tho side of good fanning tidy improvement and realiz ation of comfort in a home.— Colman,s Rural Worlh. Hard Tiuies. Tho farmer who owns his land, is free from debt and has tolorable im provements cannot comprehond the full meaning of tho term “hard times.” Honco farming is the best and sur est vocation for tho mass of tho poo plo ;as a general result it does not lead to wealth and luxury, but it may be certain to insure competence, and even abundance. To thojaded un fortunate business man, there is no prospect that looks so onticing as that of a beautiful farm, well improved, fully stocked and carfully tilled it is a haven of rest, whore tho corroding care and life sapping anxiety of a bus iness man are unknown. A domain over which he is king and where he may enforce his will undisputed. by any one. The true pleasure of tho farmers vocation consists iu his inti mate relation to nature and his pos session of all the rational enjoyment of life. Why, then, do wo have the oom plaint from so large a mass of tho far mers that “times are hard ?” The an swer is, they are in debt. Debt is a curse that entails far greater hardship than the fiat which pronounced tho doom of man to till th© soil and earn his bread by tho sweat of his brow. War prices and war currency afflicted a large portion of farmers with a greed of grain which they indulged by plung ing in debt Thoy were not content with securing good homes, fitting them up in oomfort, aud laying something by for a rainy day, but they grew lust ftil for broad acres which can only be enjoyed in cities, and are but burdens to country life, and now that reverse cuts Bhort expected incomes, tho pres sure of debt is felt, and thoro is “hard times.” If we could toach only one precept to farmers, it would be tliis : Mako yourselves independent. Owe no man anything. Make your business snug and safe instead of expensive and risky. Then you can sit by your own hearthsidos, and if “hard times” look in at the window you can laugh in his face. —Rural New Yorker. —Tho Illinois Legislature, during a two and a half month’s session, passed just four bills, two of which were re turned by tho Governor* Failuee or a Farmer.—Mr. John Alexander, tho king of Stockmen in the United States lias made an assign ment of his property for the benefit of his creditors. His liabilities aro stat ed at $1,000,000, while his assets foot up from SIOO,OOO to $200,000 more than that. Mr. Alexander’s residence is in Morgan county, in Kentucky, whore lie owns an immense stock farm. Two or throe yoars sinco Mr. Alexan der bought tho celobratod Sullivan farm, known as “Broadlands” in Douglas county, containing 27,000 a croa. It was reported a short time sinco that ho had sold, “Broadlands” for $600,000, but from some cause the sale was not consummated. This is probably the hoavicst failuro of any agricultural, man yot recorded in the history ol tho Uuitod Statos. Another Cure Fonlloa Chortlera. A. G. Bali.ird, of Sturgeon, Mo, informs tho Columbia Ileratd that ho has lost a largo numbor of hogs from cholora, aud after an unsuocossful trial of a groat many remodios, has found pine tor to never fail of cure. Ho givos tho tar Jin slop—about a table spoonful to oacli bog. Its cure is ra pid, complete, and loavos no injurious effects booind. Tlio Charleston News speaks a sol emn truth when it says “all the sol diorß who ever crossed tho Potomac cannot mako Bouth Carolina happy and contented, so long as ignorant no groos rulo intelligent white mon, and neither intolloct nor wealth has a voice in tho councils of tho Stato.
