A little maid in the morning sun Stood merrily singing and churning, “ Oil. how 1 wish this butter was done. Then off to the fields I’d be turning !” So she hurried the dasher up and down Till tlie farmer called, with a half-made frown, 'burn slowly 1 "Don’t the dasher, so fast, my dear. It’s not so good for the butter. And will make your arms ache, too. I fear : And put you all in a flutter— For tit’s is a rule, w herever wo, turn. Don’t be in bast, whenever yon ehum- C’bttrn slowly ! ‘lf you’d see your butter come nice and sweet, Don't churn with a nervous jerking. But ply the dasher slowly and neat — You’ll lntrdly know that you’re work ing : IS And when the butter has come you’ll say •‘Yes. this is unruly the very best way’— Churn slowly !” Now, little folks, do you think that yon A lesson can find in butter ’{ Don’t be in a haste, whatever you do. Or get yourself in a flutter ; And while yon stand at life’s great churn, Let the farmer's words to you return. “Churn slowly !" Surah Kemble* Hunt. Farmer’s Creed. The (Jamn'Jian Fanner publish es the following creed, every ar ticle of which should receive it “amen" from each tiller of the soil . We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation: That the soil loves to eat ns ! well as its owner, and ought , i therefore, to be well manured ; j In going to the bottom of things and, therefore, in deep ploughing j and enough of it. All the better if it be a sub soil plow; In large crop* which leave land better than they found it, mak ing both the farm and farmer rich 1 at once. ! That every (arm should own a j good farmer; That the fertilizer of any soil is | a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence—without these, lime, gypsum and guano will be of lit tie use ; In good fences, good farm houses, good orchards, and good children enough to gather the fruit : In a clean kitchen, a neat wife in if, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy,and a clear conscience; | That to ask a man’s advice is ! not stooping, but of much bene | At; That to keep a place for eve- ! : rything, and everything in its; | place, saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools j j and to keep them in order; That kindness to stock, like j good shelter, is a saving of fed - | der; That it is a good thing to keep < an eye on experiments and note i all, good and bad ; That it is a good rule to sell vour grain when it is ready. Common-Sense Ploughing. The depth of soil can alone d< terniine the depth of ploughing. When the soil is shallow the i gradual deepening of it should be sought by the use of appro priate materials for irnprovinent until the object is fully attained. The sub-soil ought not, as a rule, to be brought out of its bed ex eeptin small quantities to be ex posed to the atmosphere diirin* 11 the fall, winter and spring, or a summer fallow ; nor even then except when such fertilizers are applied as are necessary to put it a once into a productive! con dition. Two indifferent soils of opposite character, as clay and sliding sand, sometimes oc cupy’ the relation of surface and subsoil to each other, and when thoroughly mixed and subjected to cultivation they will produce a soil of greatly increased value. Soils appropriated to garden.! and horticultural purposes are of ten deepened to fifteen and even eighteen inches with benefit, ami those for general tillage crop to about twelve inches with decid ed advantage. But whatever is the depth of the soil the plough ( ought to 1 uru up the entire mass if within its roach, anil what i beyoiul il should bo thoroughly broken up by the sub soil plough. When all circumstances are far orblo to the use of the sub soil plough an increase in the crop follows, as the hard earth below the reach of the ordinary plough has been loosened.

Cotton, quiring that the ground he Alf red repoatidly, calls for care in tis cultivation after the bolls begin to form. As the turns made in plough ing consumes time it is economy to run the furrows in the longest direction. Actual experiment has proven that the time lost in turning short plots make a large item in the expense account. Going Back to Farms. •lust, after the war, when infla ted prices painted pictures of for tunes in all kinds of city and town vocations—when hanking, insurance and agency business j were supposed to yield wealth j almost without limit, and wlu nil I was believed that fortunes could be made by merely organizing i some kind of stock company and ; putting the shares on the market j there was a gen ra I (locking of young men Irom farms to cities and towns, to get rich without j labor. But that delusion has t nd ;ed in bitterness and disappoint j ment to thousands all over the ; land, and proved that the game lof living by the wits is uno that ! very few can thrive at. Wo are beginning to realize that farming possesses one pre-eminent merit ■ —it will yield a living, if nothing more, and that is more than can be said of many city pursuits. U is generally esteemed a plodding unromantic business: but this is offset, by its exemption from the harassments and tragic features that too often mark the painful and exhausting struggle for ih< maintenance of credit and social position in city life. If reqnrics; but a small capital to goto farm ing. This offers a simple solution to the livelihood problem to all who are willing to work, and it is gratifying to find that the fact is beginning to be realized by man} weary of prolonged idleness in cities.- - ,sy. I,mux ftc/nib/untii. Tomatoes. When an early crop of loom j toes is desired set out the plants ; in a light sandy loam, not too dry l nor yet too rich. Prepare the land by thoroughly ploughing, harrowing and rolling. Set the i plants in rows laid four feet a part and allow about the same j distance between plants. Wafer j the plants previously to trails ' planting, so tlgit they may he set : with considerable wet earth ad hering to them ; a shovelful of ! finely-pulverized and well rotted I manure applied in each hill id the time of planting will greatly accelerate the growth of I he crop. I Cultivate with the hoe until the vines cover the ground. To has ten the maturity of the liril trust that sets pinch offthe extremities of the tops and all the secondary shoots which afterwards appear above the flowers. On suitable soil with ordinari ly careful cultivation one acre of land will yield about lour him dred bushels of tomatoes.
