It is not unusual —perhaps it is not
unnatural —for ono who has l>een on
ly a “practical” farmer all his lifo to
discourage the idea that science can bo
of assistance to him, and to doubt its
value. Perhaps bis objection would
be less if he appreciated tho exact
meaning of the word. ebster gives
it four definitions: “(1) Knowledge;
penetrating and comprehensive infor
mation, skill, expertness and the like.
(2) The comprehension and under
standing of truth or facts. (3) Truth
ascertained; that which is known. (4)
Knowledge didy arranged, and re
ferred to general truths or principles
on which it is founded and from which
;t is derived.”
Now, surely no farmer will deny the
value of knowledge —a knowledge of
his own business, lie must know how
and when to perform tho various op
erations of the farm, and if he knows
also the reasons why they are necessa
ry, he will be better able to exercise a
sound judgment concerning them.—
The more penetrating and comprehen
sive his knowledge is, and the greater
his skill and expertness, the more
cheaply and the mere effectively will
his work be done. Tho more compre
hension and understanding of tho
truths on which his success depends,
and of tho facts which daily arise in
his management of his business, the
better farmer will he be. Truth as
certained, that which is known, is
“Book Farming”—that is to say, tho
knowledge that we get from books
and agricultural papers is nothing
more nor less than tho recorded
knowledge, not the fancies, cf other
people. It is an important item of
the science of farming, that seed, in
order to germinate and produce a
crop, must bo so put in the soil as to
satisfy the couditions of growth.
This much every farmer knows, and
to this extent has he acquired a scien
tific understanding of his business.
The knowledge is of absolute value
to him and to every other farmer, aud
its value would not be at all lessened
if he w'ere to write a communication
to an editor informing him and his
readers of it. If another person were
to write that because tho germinating
plant comes up in a certain way,
therefore all farmers ought to plant
their grass seed witli their fingers, al
ways putting the right end upper
most, this would not be book farming
nor science, nor anything else; but mere
fancy, and a fancy of w hich every
farmer would see the folly.
Now, generations of men have boon
busy in investigating, mainly in the
field, everything connected with the
operations of practical agriculture,
little by little they have acquired
knowledge, which knowledge has been
(lulb arranged, and so much of it as is
well understood lias beeu referred to
the general truths and principles ou
whichs it is founded, and from which
it is derived. The knowledge itself is
due mainly to tho experience of work
ing farmers; and chemists and others
who have made general truths and
Erineiples tho subject of careful study,
ave classified and arrangod it, and
given it the form that is generally un
derstood by the word “science.” No
error, no unproved theory, none of tlio
fancies of those who write lrom imag
ination rather than from experience,
is.to be called either Science or Book-
Farming, and it is unfortunate that so
much of our agricultural writing lias
been done by men who lack experi
ence on tho farm. It has given rise
to the doubt referred to in our first
paragraph, and discouraged many of
our best and most iutellgent workiug
men from seeking knowledge, where
it is best to bo found, in tho recorded
experience of those who have gono
before them.
The real truth of the matter is that
in decrying science farmers decry
knowledge, and a natural deduction
from their reasoning v. ould lead them
to withdraw irom the management of
their farms, because they have somo
knowledge, and give it over to mon
who have none whatever. If knowl
edge is essential, and if, as we are told
and believe, “a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing,’’then the moreknowl-.
edge we got, the better our chances
will bo. Follow no false lights, let
the lamp of true knowledge lead wher
ever it will — Americam Agriculturalist.
What Our FcnccS Cost.
The fence is a costly fixture. Illi
nois is said to have ten times as much
fence as Germany, and Dutchess coun
ty, New York, more than all Franco.
A narrow path divides farms in!
France, Germany, and Holland. Tn
South Carolina the improved land is
ostimated to be worth £20,000,000; the
fences have cost $16,000,000. The j
annual repair is a tenth of this. A re- j
cent calculation places the cost of
fences in the United Statos at $1,300,-'
000,000. Nicholas Diddle, thirty
years ago, said the Pennsylvania
fences had cost $100,000,000. In Ohio i
they are put at $115,000,000, and in !
Now York at $144,900,000. Somo
day fences will probably disappear, !
and boundaries will be marked with
fruit and shade trees, or neat hedge ,
rows.
December may be 6aid to be the
wearing apparel of the seasons it be
ing' the close of the year.
What season of tho year has the
most creditors ? Tho tall to be sure.
We are continually reading of the fall
«tcing sums when a list ot figures is
given.
A householder, in filling up his cen
sus schedule, under the heading of
“Where bora,” described one of hi g
children as having been “born in th Q
bark parlor,’’and the other “up stairs.” !
Farmers, I'laat Fruit Trees.
If people, generally, were as fond of
cultivating fruit as they are of eating
it, what a plentiful supply of this
healthful luxury wo should liavo, and
how much hotter it would bo for the
interests of all. Vv e frequently gvze
with amazemont upon farms, than
which none could bo better aduptod to
the cultivation of nearly every kind of
treo fruit, but upon which such a thing
as a fruit treo is as great a rarity as
snow in harvest. We fail to under
stand how it is possible that people
can be so indifferent to their own com
fort and their own interests. If the
setting out of a hundred or two choice
peach, pear, apple and plumb trees,
involved an outlay of as many hun
dred dollars, wo could then understand
why there are so many farms almost
| devoid of fruit of any kind, but when
! such is not the case, when silty dol
! lars would clear the entire expense,
| leaving out of tho question the cost of
; planting, which is trifling, we confess
to utter amazement, and not unfre
quently to a feeling of indignation.—
The fa:mer who does not cultivate as
much fruit as is sufficient for the lar
gest possible wants of bis family, is
little less than a barb irian, for cer
tainly bo must bo wanting in one of
the broadest characteristics of true civ
ilization, when he deprives not only
himself, but his family, of what can
not be regarded as other than the
cheapest, most wholesome, and, though
to some it may seem a stretch of im
agination, elevating luxurios. The
cultivation of fruits exerts upon the
mind an influence not unlike that of
the cultivation of flowers. It is refin
ing in its tendencies. Where there
are an abundance of fruit, there is
necessarily a smaller consumption of
meat, and, consequently, less gross
mss of physical as well as mental
habit.
Go to work then, fanners, and es
pecially thoso of you who heretofore
neglected to plant fruit troes. Do not
allow another season to pass over your
heads without being able to say that,
in a few years, you have a reasonable
prospect of a crop of fruit sufficient for
your families and for the friends who
may need it.
itecipc for tiering Pork.
At a recent meeting of the Worton
Agricultural Club, of Kent county,
Maryland, the subject of discussion
being “Fattening, Killing and Curing
Pork,” a member gavo a “recipe
which ho roceivod from the lato Major
Reynold, for curing pork, and spoke
very highly of it. lie had lost no
meat nor seen a skipper in his for the
sixteen years ho bad used it, and spoke
of the hams as being very juicy and
of fine flavor. I intend to use the
recipe this fall, and as some of your
readers might like to uso it also, I will
give it: For every 80 pounds of pork
take ono pound of pork, i pound su
gar, i pound saltpetre, mix them well
together arid rub the meat thorough
ly with the mixture; allow the meat
to remain on a shelf or other conven
ient place for -!4 hours, then salt away,
using two quarts of salt to every 80
pounds of meat, allowing it to remain
in bulk for 15 days, by which time it
is cured and fit to hang up and smoke.
An opening should bo made in the
. cask to allow tho pickle that will make
■to run off. It was held that meat
j should not be smoked in damp or wet
j weather, ns the dampness caused the
smoke to blacken the meat and pre
vent it from penetrating.” —Maryland
Fanner.
Cut Feed fur Horses.
An accurate farmer has furnished
the Country Gentleman a statement of
his experiment with feeding cut feed
and meal to his horses, accompanied
with weighing and measuring. He
cuts oats and straw about an inch long
with a raw hide cylinder machine ;
and this chopped straw is then treated
with corn meal and bran mixed in
' about equal quantities as to weight,
j so that each horse has about a bushel
of cut feed aud three quarts of the
meal and bran twice in each day.—
Sometimes hay is cut instead of oat
straw, or both aro mixed. It is found
j that two hundred pounds per week of
this mixture of corn meal aud bran,
added to tho cut feed, will keep a pair
j of working horses iu the best condi
j tion. This, he is satisfied from ex
| periment, is less than two thirds cost
j of keeping them on uncut dry hay
1 and whole graiti. The corn meal alone
is not so good for horses as when mixed
with bran. An excellent meal is made
of ground oats. Tho fodder is cut by
horse power, on stormy or spare days,
and stored in large bins, so as to fur
nish always a surplus on hand.
Dobbs thinks that instead of giving
credit to whom credit is due, tho cash
had bettor been paid.
In Colorado a bald person finds him
selt alluded to as “a man with his
head above timber line.”
The chaplain of the lowa state pris
on was asked by a friend how his par
ishioners were. “All under couvic
tion,” was tho reply. ,
A most excellent lady up town is
much excited in mind to know how it
is that a little quick-silver in a glass
tube can mako such awful hot weath
er by just rising an inch or two.
“Mr. Speaker,” said a member of
the Jamaica Legislature, discussing a
bill for tho regulation of the timber
trade, “I know these timber merchants
to be most egregious rascals—l was
in the timber line myself twelve years.’,
It is said that if you take two let
ters from money, there will be but one
left We have heard of a man who
took money from letters, and thero
wasn’t any left.
It is related of a member of the
Boston bar that once meeting in the
dog days the estimable sod of a father
of rather equivocal reputation, in an
absent minded moment he amazed
him by inquiring how tho old gentle
man stood tho heat. Tho old gentle
man had been dead two months.

ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF
The GrieweM Gin*
Til E UNDERSIG NED, having resumed the manufacture of the above Gin,
pr pose to make it what it was before the war—“ The favorite of tbe
South.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guar
antee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in nddition to some of the best workmon from the shop
of the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who
was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from the com
meucement of the manufacture of tho Moore Cotton Gin, until i’s suspension,
is again at his post, and will give each Gin bis personal inspection btLre it
leaves the shop.
In calling the attention of planters to onr Cotton Gins, wo desire that they
hould notice the improvements we offer, which are substantially as follows
Ak. PORTABLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of
which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quantity and improve
the quality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wet cotton; to alter the picking or
separating the lint from tho seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from
tbe seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and
a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls
in a moment, aud is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
We meke, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. Tho bristles are all
drawn in by a cord, and the timber is all selected from tho best lumbor, well
seasoned • and every bruoh is made perfectly fire and rut proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES,
Aro both oscillating and plain. Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We
line them with the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS.
We make all the saws that we use from the best English Cast Steel, andet
any size that may be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacjtn
our saws, one of the best saw-makers in the Soutn, aud our machinery for the
manufacture of Gin Saws caDnot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILE
We ara the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in
vention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. I
will hardly be necessary here to allude to the immense saving and economica
use of crushed cotton seed as a manure. We received a gold medal as a pro
mium, from the Fair of the Cotton Planter ’a Convention, held in Macou, Ga.,
1860, for the best Cotton Seed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to crash
the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of the many
certificates that we have on the subject.
TRIAL OF GUSTS.
We keep constantly od hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it
leaves the shop —old cr new ones.
REPAIRING OF OLD GUSTS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in
the country, and make repairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do
well to send in their old Gins and have them made as good as new, at a much
less cost than anew one can be bought for. Send on your orders and old
Gins early
We are also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive orders orders
for Findlay & Craig’s Screw Cotton Press, and Craig’s Patent Portable Horse
Power, and Castings generally.
