Hoys do Something.
Wo wantt) 9ay just one word to the
boys of the farm. We have no sermon
lo deliver, no lecture —just a baro rug
gestion—and we hope that every far
mer’s boy will heed it. Make a begin
ning for yourselves this Centennial year.
The time will finally come whou you
must look to your own exertions for a
liv ng. It is your wisest course to fit
yourselves early for the battle of life.—
Bolisit from your father the right to
plant and cultivate some certain plot of
ground be it ever so small, the pro
duct from which shall bo your own.—
Prepare it most thoroughly,plant it with
c ire keep it clear of weeds, harvest the
crop and sell it, putting the proceeds at
a fair rate of interest, so that when you
‘ become of age.” you will be able to be
gin your business career us independent
well to do citizens. Suppose you are
ten, or twelve, or fourteen years of age.
Just sit dov.n and figure up what the
mere trifle you may earn for yourselves
this your, at compound interest, will
amount t> by the time you aro twenty
one years old ! Then if you add to it
each year, iu a proportion to your effi
ciency as farmers, you will be astonish
ed at the result. Do uot fear that your
parents will not second your every ef
fort. Nothing will please them so much
as to realize that you aro reaily a
young farmer, with gaeat hopes of the
future and a great ambition to excel. —
They know that the farm houses is the
real homo of comfort and happiness, if
within it aro found comtentmeut and
aspirations. The time has fully come
when the lord of the country. With
careful lives, with good, education with
oven fair ability, the farm boy may hold
any and ail positions when in manhood's
prirno and it is to him that the nation
in theso days of corruption must look
for true manhood and patrioisnv The
beginning of all this future brilliant
caree ris dependent upon early selfex
ertion more than upon all other things
Whether your parents aro rich or poor
docs not mattor ; it is evidentually that
wins. Strive to have and to le some
thing while tho bright sun of youth
lights the way. —Prairie Farmer.
Oats as Fertilizers.
A Kentucky farmer writes to the
New Yrrk News, on tho subject of oats
as a mauure as follows :
I havo seen frequent inquires how to
rech im old and out worn out lands- A
quick and cheap plan is to sow the land
in oats as early as you can in the spring
as soon as ripe plow under, keep off all
stock, and you will have a tremendous
fall growth of oats ; plough them under
in October—or if South, the first of No
vember ; then sow rvo, graze in the
spring and feed down; whou ripe
plough under, and you will seo iho ti
nest rye fields you ever saw; or if you
wish, sow clover on tho rye the first
sp>ing—it is effectual and cheap. I
saw the above tried in Tennessee when 1
was a b.>y; the land was so worn out
that the oats did not exceed knee hisrh;
they were ploughed under when ripe,
and again in November. The land was
p anted in corn the next year and made
a yield. It was before the days
of clover. I have tried it repeatidly
since with good success.
Wliat is High Farming.
An American farmer of note after
visiting England and examining with
the critical eye of practical agricultural
ist the system pursued in that country
writes as follows :
“ I am thoroughly confirmed in my
old faith that the only good farmer of
the future is to be the ‘high.’ There
is a widely prevailing antipathy among
the farmers of our own country, against
not only the practice of high farming,
but against, even tho use cf the phrase
by agrrculturnl write. This is all wiong
and should at once be corrected.—-
Throughjsomc micoDception of the mean
ing of the phrase, arid of its application
they havo come to believe it synouy*
rnous with theoretical ‘ book farming,’
‘now-fanglcd notions,’ ‘boasted pro
gress/ etc., to bo invaribly Allowed by
disappointment and fir al failure. This
is all an error. High farming simply
means thorough cultivation, liberal ma
nuring bountiful crops, good feed, and
paying profits therefrom. It is not
strange that misconseptions have arisen
in the minds of doubting farmers who
have been eye-witnesses to some of tho
spreap-eagle experiments of enthusias"
tic farmers, better supplied with money
obtained in a business thou with practi
cal experience t pon tho farm Bounti
ful crops and paying profits arc, of
course, what all farmers, who are depen
ding on their farm for an income, are
striving to obtain ; and every year as it
pasted is rc ß CC>nSrming the opinion that
profits are small, and will grow beauti
fully less high farming is not practic
ed.”
If any one thinks we saj too much
about manures let them be und'delved.
)\ e want our plants well fed, and this
is plant food. Do you expect to raise
without food? No more can you raise
c ops without it. >Vo advocate doing
well what you attempt to do.
