Agricultural.
A (linden.
Every man, howtyr limited Ids
means, should contrive to have
and cultivate a garden. There
are three strong reasons for it.
1. Working in a garden is high
conducive to health. The ex
orcise is gentle; il is united with
amusement, and By it the Body
and the spirits are invigorated.
'l’Bere is something in the odor of
the earth that strengthens the
whole system. Let the sedenta
ry mail take up 111** pruning knife
and spend an Bom* of the dewy
morning amongst his vines,or the
spade, hoe, or rake and prepare
or work over his asparagus, let
<uce of radish Beds, and he will
Unis give lone and vigor lo his
Body and Bis mind for llio severe
studies of Bis desk. Theleaeher
will teach all the Beller; the min
isler will preach all the Better for
the mind exercise which the gar
d**n gives, for this natural em
ploymenl of the Bones and mus
cles of tin* system an hour or two's
practice in the gymnasium is But
a miserable substitute, since the
health imparting exhalations
from the ground, as well as the
interest and variety, are wanting.
2. The garden is a teacher.
There Nature is ever til work,
producing her most beautiful
forms and transformations. No
man can witness attentively (lie
germinal ion of seed, the upris
ing of the Blade, the unfolding, of
llte Denver, the maturing of the
fruit, without at the same time
becoming wiser, nobler, Better.
The vegetable, the mineral
kingdoms here meft and work to
get her. To the curious every step
in this working offers something
fresh for meditation. Why, for in
stance, does the plumula ascend?
Why does it incline toward the
sun ?—-Why does it assume this or
that tint ?—Why does the sap tv
rise in it ? Why does this plant
fake to this kind of nutriment,
another to that ? Why is a thorn
given to this vegetable, an acrid
juice to this and honey to that ?
Why does the dandelion shoot
forthjn the spring and the aster
in the autumn ? Why is this leaf
orbicular, this heart-shaped, this
finger-shaped, this needle-shaped?
Why is this plant medicinal, this
poisonous ? Why is t his (lower fra
grant, this scentless?—And a
thousand-ot her curious (juetions
constantly arise to awaken
lliottglil and toturn il to the afflu
ence ol the inventive power of
I Be (Veator.
The garden, therefore, teaches,
and in teaching elevates llte miml.
Lor this reason, it may he, the
created firsl man and woman were
made in paradise; that is, in a
garden.
H. The garden is a source of
profit, I have known a man who
realized ax much from what he
sold from his garden of one-half
acre, its his hard-working brother
did from what he sold from his
farm of more than one hundred
acres.
Il is said that a man consumes
about sixteen hundred pounds of
food per annum. How much of
this could and shomlil conic from
the garden!
•*l can buy vegetables,” says
one standing l>v,and who calls in
the doctor frequently, “cheaper
tban I can raise them.”
Not so, indeed, 1 answer, if you
take into account the heal*h and
instruction imparted by the gar
den.
Then it is so delightful to see
your own lettuce, radishes, toma
toes, melons, peas, beans and
sweet corn growing. It is pleas
ant to go out and pick your
own currants, grapes, pears, and
peaches. And what if you Imp
i pen to raise a lew such tilings to
give away to your poor neighbors?
■ Does it not all come in for profit ?
A garden then promotes your
health, imparts instruction and
greatly helps to sustain your ta
ble. It helps other people also.
Some things von can afford to do
without, but I see not how you
can live a realty happy life with
-cm t a garden.— Do you ?— Cor.
(hr. I'rlr.tjrujil.
The farmers most likely to pay
t 00 much for farm hands are those
who pay the least (7Tcheap, infe
rior baud'. Those are the only
'da - who receive too much pay.
Keep Your Hints Tame.
There is one point in poultry
management to which we wish to
call special attention, as but few
persons who rear poultry for pro
fit ever attach much importance,
notwithstanding it has a great in
fluence upon the profits. It is to
keep your birds tame, whether
they are kept up in suitable on
closure during the entire year or
permitted to have unlimited
range, for it pays to do so, in many
ways. If you keep your birds
tame, so they will come to you
quickly at the call and eat out of
your Band without any sign of
fear or distrust, they will always
Be quiet and content, and will
fallen and thrive much better.
This matter is well understood By
breeders of the larger kinds of
stock, such as cattle, horses,
sheep and while ( here art*
a sensible few who apply the
same principle with poultry.
Many a tine nest of eggs litis
been destroyed by a wild frigid
ened hen, a hen which had early
learned to fear her master or own
er. It uniform kindness ami gen
lioness had Been resorted to, the
hen would suffer herself lo Be
handled while mii the nest, anti
never once think of leaving if in
such a hurry as to endanger the
eggs. If the poultry on the farm
is kept tame, il is not a very dif
ficult matter to catch one or more
when wanted for table or other
uses. —Amcrlra n J*ovUrt/ Jour

The Fnnm‘l- who Reads.
Chemistry, geology, chemical
physiology and mechanics may
all do a great deal to assist the
farmer who farms in order that
he may learn to raise from a giv
en number of acres the largest
quantity of the most valuable
produce at the least cost in the
shortest time and with the least
injury to tlq* soil.
Scientific farming will enable
the farmer who farms to collect,
to investigate and to understand
the known facts in practical ag
riculture. By this study the
j farmer who farms will be able
j from observation to deduce prin
eiples of constant use.
The farmer who farms, by read
; ing, may be able to suggest iin -
j proved methods of fertilizing llio
| soil and of studying out new
methods and appliances of value.
By geology and chemistry the
farmer is enabled to analyze soils,
By the use of chemistry to ana
i lyze manures and vegetable pro
; ducts: Study will teach the farm
er who farms how plants grow and
are nourished, and how animals
are reared and most economically
fed. The reading farmer who
farms will be able to wiimcw
theories as he does It is wheat, and
even to justly estimate the value
of the chaff he separates from
the wheat.
All branches of science are fu
-1 tile,all knowledge vain t further
j and perfect agriculture, unless
j llte farmer who farms learns their
j useful discoveries and heeds their
suggestions. Millions of dollars
are annuity lost, to the country
I because the farmer who farms
; will not or does not, read. The
! liberal farmer who reads knows
no East, no West, no North, no
I South, But flu* grand aim and oh
j ject of personal, general and mi
lt ional prosperity.
Practical farming is in no way
incompatible with scientific
knowledge, as those who (ling the
e])ithets u ki<l-glove farming,”
“sidewalk farming,” “aristocratic
farming;” and “scientific farming,
would have us believe; but the
practical fanner avails himself of
every fact and improvement
which the plodding farmerdespi
ses. lie takes a good paper which
intelligently discusses the great
subjects of agriculture, which in
terests the greater mass of the
population of nearly every conn
try. The reading farmer who
farms in the broadest sense, im
parts his knowledge to others as
lie has received it, that the bene
tits he enjoys may be enjoyed by
all w ho farm for pleasure or prof
it; lie feels the generous impulses
which should actuate the univer
sal brother hood of man. For
none of us “Jiveth to himself.
