Fancy Farming.
No class cf men have been ridiculed
go much, and none have done |p muoh
good,as those who are denominated fan-*
oy farmers. They have been, in all
times and countries, the benefactors of
the men who have treated them with de
rision. They have been to farmers what
inventors have been to manufacturers.
They have experimented for the good ct
the world, while others have simply
worked for their own gain. They tested
theories while others have raised crops
for market. They have given a dignity
ana glory to the occupation of farming
it never had before.
Fancy farming has changed the
wild boar in the .Berkshire ; the wild
bull of Britain into the Short-horn, the
mountain sheep with its lean body and
hair fleece, into the Southdown and the
Merino. They brought up the milk of
cows from pints to gallons. They have
lengthened the sirhon of the bullock,
given strength to the shoulders of the
ox, rendered finer the wool of the sheep
added to the speed of the horse
and made beautiful every animal that is
kept in the service of mn. They have
improved and hastened the development
of all domestic animals, till they hard
ly resemble the creatures from which
sprung.
Fancy farmers introduced irrigation
and under-draining, grinding and cook
ing food for stock. They brought guano
from Peru and nitrate of soda Iron Ch li.
Thev introduced and domesticated all
the plants we have of foreign origin.
They brought out the theory of rotation
of crops as a natural means of keeping
up ana increasing the fertility of the soil.
They frst ground up gypsum and bones
and treated the latter with acids to make
manures of peculiar value. They first
analyzed soils as a means of determining
what was wanted to increase their fertil
ity. They introduced the most approve!
methods of raising and dist.ibuting wa
ter.
Fancy farmers orfmey horticulurhts
have given us all our varieties of fruits,
vegetables and flowers. A fancy farmer
in Vermont a few years ago originated
the early Hose potato which added mil
lions to the wealth cf our country and
proved to be a most important accession
iu every part of the world where it was
introduced. Another of those same fan
cy meu originated the Wilson strawber
ry and another the Concord grape. It was
a r’aucy farmer that brougho tno Osage
Orange from Texas to the Northern
States.
Among the men in this country who
were classed as fancy farmers at an early
day, Washington Franklin Jeffersoa and
Livingston. The first introduced mules
the second the cultivation of improved
rice the third the use of land plaster ;
the fourth, the raising of lueerne. More
than any men of their time did they
add to the wealth of the country. After
them came another race of fancy farmers
who introduced Arabian horses, Span
ish sheep, and the improved breeds oi
English cattle aud swiuo. These fancy
farmers added immensely to the wealth
of the practical farmers of the coun
try.
What we want to develop the agricuh
ture and horticulture of the couutry to
their fullest extent, is a large number
of fancy farmer men who work for pleas
ure rather than for private gain. These
ure the men who will perform experi
ments and give the world the benefit of
th m. These are the men who will
carry on investigations for the sake of
investigating. These are the men who
will biingin new gains, and fruits, new
vegetables, and new varieties of ani
mals. These are the men who will
devote their time and money to the
improvement of old varieties aud the
creation of new ones. Tne coun
try is sadly in need ol more fancy farm
ers.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
The-e is no mode that we ever tried so
effectual in transplanting tomato cabbage
contaloupe. or any other tender plant
from the hot-bed, or from one place to
another, as to prepare a vessel filled
with manure-'water aud rich soil, about
the consistency of thin mush with which
the roots should be well coated and set

piece of wood or dibble. After being
rather firmly planted moisten again with
