The Young Man and the Farm.
The Following extract from an ad
dress by Prof. Wickson, of Utica, is
noteworthy : “ With the advance of
farming as a science will come a better
opinion of the farmer’s position among
men. Every year intelligence and true
success are winning wider recognition in
social circles. Among old opinious
which must vanish is the popular view
that the farmer is outside the line of so
cial and political advancement. This
opinion, although it has been widely
held, has always been a fallacy, a mis*,
take of narrow minds. The young men
are blinded by it. They have left farms
because this cross-eyed view of life has
been forced upon them by foolish peo
ple. They have been persuaded that
desertion of the farm was an entrance
to glory, ilowgreat an error this hasheen!
All history gives the lie to such belief.
A man upon a farm is not ‘ out of the
world’ as some would think. How far
an occasian can reach to grasp its hero,
Ido not know. But I believe that
when the saving of his country demand
ed the strong arm of Cincinatus, he
was just as near, when behind his plow,
as though a graduated farmer, had he
been sporting purple robes in the forum.
And I believe that when the old Con*,
tinentals of New England called their
leader, Putnam heard it as distinctly
upon his farm as though he had been
serving for twenty years behind a count
er in Hartford. Ido not believe that a
man is ‘buried on a farm/ Ic seems to
me that all hsstory teaches us that the
prompting to duty and the call to greats
Yiess are no louder in crowded thorough
lares than in the country lanes fringed
with daisies.
The young man and the farm; on
the one hand a duty, on the othe hand
an opportunity ? here an obligation,
there a way to discharge it. And in
thinking of the duty of the young man,
is it not encouraging that he need not
leave the industry where he finds it,
and that he himself as he fits himself
for a better farmer, becomes also a bet
ter man. This the labor, this the re
ward. The better the man the more
noble his calling. The young men can
make agriculture what they will; it of
fers full returns for their best efforts.
The country needs better men, and the
best men are honored in its service.
The best man in the end will win, and
he will reach the reward for his excel
lence— it matters not whether, depart
ing, he puts up the bars behind him, or
whether come from marble doorsteps.
The youth may become a man upon a
farm if he will. He cannot do more
elsewhere.
A New Hetliod of Removing Hair
Frm Hides.
Until quite recently the usual meth
od of removing hair from hides as a pre
leminary to tanning, consisted either in
a slow putrefaction, which loosens the
epidermis and renders the hair easily
separable, or else placing the hides in
a large vat containing milk of lime.
After a number of days the hair was re
moved by a blunt scraper. At present,
however, in many part of Europe, these
methods have been abandoned in favor
of one in which the sulphide of lime is
the main agent —this salt, in a crystal*,
line form, being now manufactured for
the purpose in Germany. Sometimes,
when it is desired to remove the hair as
quickly as possible, as in the case of
sole leather, the hides are paiDted with
ajpaste consisting of one part crystallized
sulphide of sodium and three parts of
lime. The hides are covered with a
damp matting to ptevent the drying of
the paste, and in fifteen or twenty hours
the process is complete, and the hair
can be removed. In other cases, when
more time is allowable, the skins are
steeped in a solution of sulphide of so
dium— one pound to one hundred
quarts, the effect being accomplished in
two or three days. Where the hair is
to be removed from the hides by hand,
it is necessary that they be well rinsed
in water; and the men employed in lay*
ing on the paste usually wear india rubi
ber gloves while handling the hides.
Blind Staggers in Pigs.—Prof.
Law. a good authority, gives the follow
ing:
When a hog is attacked, dash bnck*
etfulls of cold water over the bodv,
throw a purgative injection into therec
turn composed of six ounces of sulphate
of soda and one or two teaspoonfulls of
turpentine in ten ounces of water. Se*
tons saturated with turpentine may be
inserted under the skin behind the ears,
or the back of the neck may be blistered
by rubbing with the following mixture :
Spirits of turpentine and liquid ammonia
one ounce each, with powdered canthar
i les two drachms.
Renovating Southern Lands.—
ATennes ee correspondent of the South
ern Farmer renovates worn-out lands by
sowing peas on them and feeding off.
This is done two or three years in suc
cession, until enough fertility is gained
to grow clover. Then plenty of clover
;a sown from December to February,
and a good cath is always secured.
Wherever the land is rich enough to
grow clover the farmer has the ascend
ancy, and can soon make his fields pro
duce any crop he wishes. The difficul
ty is in getting a start, and for this pur
pose the Southern cow pea is yet uni
i vailed.

weeklies published. It is not a blanket
sheet in which all sorts of matter is pro
miscuously thrown. It is"a neatly printed
four-page paper, compactly made up, and
edited with great care. Nothing of a dull
or heavy character is admitted into the col

those who have not the advantage of a daily
mail, can get all the news, for six months,
by sending one dollar to the publisher : or
for one year by sending two dollars.

liable organ of public opinion that it has
always been—vigorous, thoughtful and con.
servative in the discussion of the issues o
the day, and lively, sparkling and enter
taining in its presentation of the news. In
gathering and publishing the latest infor
mation and in discussing questions of pub
lic policy, the Morning News is fully abreast
of the most enterprising journalism of the
times. Price, §lO for 12 months ; §5 for
