Sriiovn. ■ till) Printing, the neatest and at low c-i prices, done at lid-otliec. 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 nal. 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.
