f tu*m. s>nvdcn & ; I\ousrhobl I How to Make Farming More Profitable. Dues farming pay'.' This question wti* dis cussed with a goorl deal of warmth, some | years ago, in ("he New Knglund Farmer, and a wiseacre proved, to his own satisfaction at \ least, that the tilling of the soil was a losing business. Yet our farmers h*ve kept on plowing and sowing ever since, and the na tion has been growing richer nil the while, notwithstanding the waste and nfin of * fci#r years war. As husbandry is the basis of fl other kinds of wealth, it is difficult to rem ciie this theory with the grand result. The mechanic, the manufacturer, the merchant, the professional man, can only prosper as the farm prospers. The daily bread of all must come from the tillage of the soil. As the country is bearing its enormous burdens well, and paying up its debts at the rate of two hundred millions a year, it is quite manifest that farming has paid somebody, if it hns not paid farmers. Yet there is a wide-spread conviction, more largely shared in the rural districts than in the cities, that labor is not as well rewarded upon the farm n in other callings. The young, especially, graduate frftn the farm in the older States at a very early ogs, aid in large numbers. It is not a little owing, we imagine, to the fair rewards of husbandry that this is the case. The farmer, as soon as he has capital enough to carry on his business, and a few shares in the bank, sends his son to the best academy in the country, or even to college. Tne youth grows ambitions in the new atmosphere, learns to despise the plow, and rnns to the city to seek his fortune. He sends his daughter to the best female sem inary he can hear of, at an expense of five or six hundred dollars a year, where she learns mnch that is valuable, but grows shy of rustic lovers and cowhide boots. She has an eye for kid gloves, and Congress gaiters. Through the farmer's prosperity his older children are lost to the farm, and it is only by dint ot much persuasion and liberal offal's, that Re keeps the youngest at home, to be the stay of his declining years. And if he be not prosperous enough to send away his children to school, his inabili ty is taken as the best of all reasons for quit ting the farm. In the olden time farmers sons felt under some obligation to stay on the homestead until they were twenty-one, to pay for their bringing up; but now they grow un easy at fifteen, and feel abused if they are not released from service at borne at sixteen, to begin life for themselves, a? clerks or appren tices. Nothing is returned to the farm for the expenses of childhood, and the farm is by that much poorer. Whether true or false, the opinion is general, that husbandry does not pay as well as other callings. Everywhere in the older States, and in some of the new, the towner and cities are gaining in popula. tion at the expense of the agricultural dis tricts. Hardly an exclusively farming town in New England can show as large a popula tion as it had fifty years ago. In some there has been a serious decline, and churches, once strong and able, have now ceased to be self-supporting. These are dark shades in the picture, and show that a better husbandry is called for, rather than that farming is necessarily a poor business. As many Conduct it, it does not pay very well, and no other business would pay, prosecuted by the some methods. To make husbandry more profitable, more brains must be invested in it. The day has gone by when brute muscle will win i hu man contests. Even the pugilist has his training, and it is the training, that makes the victor. The well educated Prussian soldier and his needle gun, conquered Austria in a month's campaign. Ideas nurtured in the Northern school house, crushed the Southern aristocracy, and broke the manacles of four millions of bondinen. We want more thought applied to farming. There has been a great change for the better within the last fifteen years, but a still greater is needed. The indications of a change are every where apparent. We have State and County Agricultural Societies, with their an nual fairs, and lively competitions. Wc have Our Agricultural journals and farmers' clubs, with neighborhood meetings and farm visits. We have- a large number of books published on Agriculture and kindred topics, and the aroma of plowed fields and orchards is breath ed into our magazine literature. Y'e have a few live farmers and rural improvers, in al most every town, who are showing their faith by their works. They invest liberally in barns with cellars: in the best farm imple ments; in rock-lifters and tile-draining: in good stock and manure; in ornamental trees, and in orchards. They execute plans delib erately formed, and spend as much brain power upon their business as the merchant or mechanic does upon his. Their minds are wide awake to every new invention, or process, by which labor may be saved, and the earth coaxed to yield her increase at the least expense. But these men are still the exceptions in our agricultural towns. There are multitudes of routine farmers, who are carried along in their improvements, it they make any, sim ply by force of example. They have no well digested plan of farm operations. They have no rotation of crops, and cannot tell whether a given crop is raised at a profit or loss. They buy a new style of tool only when they can not find the old one in the market. They do not believe in mowers, reapers or threshers that go by horsepower. They swing the scythe and the cradle, even on smooth mead ows, and the thud of their flails is heard on the barn floor, with the frosty morning of winter. They will not give up the old tools and the old familiar sounds, though the new are a hundred fold better. These men, who cling to the old ways, are to be found in almost every township, and will probably die in their present faith and practice in husbandry. They learn nothing in a business that calls for more varied knowl edge than almost any other handicraft or trade. Almost every one of the natural sci ences is immediately useful in the tilling of the soil. The fanner should know something of geology and mineralogy, and chemistry, that he may underhand the constituents of the soils that he cultivate, an( j reme dy their defects. Botany and zoolog, w jH a jd him in the selection of the crops "and the stock that he can raise most ry on any large business, he must necessarily buy and sell continually, and needs to watch the markets as cloßely as the merchant. He needs to be as competent for business as the Ufe trader and speculator from the city, who comes into the country to buy his produce and forestall the markets. It is mainly for lack of this kind of intelligence that these middle men multiply so rapidly and make ' such enormous profttß in forwarding the far mers' products In the city, whore the* find ihfii market. Almosteverything goes through their hands, from the fat beeve of two thou sand pounds, to the egg of two ounces, —from the big tree of the forest, sawed into lumber, to the blade of grass packed in the hay halo. 1 Middlemen are no doubt a necessary class, but they now taKc advantage of the ignorance | of a large class of farmers nnd secure profits i that the farmer would gain if he studied the | markets more. To stimulate thought and keep up with the times, farmers should read more upon topics Connected with their business. The day has gone by when tho county political newspaper with its gross personalities, love Btories and advertisements of quack-medicines, will af ford sufficient mental pabulum. Agricultural and horticultural jpers and books are a ne cessity cf his calling. The best of these journals, perhaps, are not what they ought to be, or what tfey might be with a larger pat ronage; but S'fa poorest of them are worth much more than-flbeir cost to the man who will rend and digest! tftem. They are mainly the records of the experience and observation! of practical farmers who have sufficient lei sure and culture to givs their reflections to lhe public. Every man will find in their pa ges suggestions that wilf influence his own practice in husbandry and make it more prof itable. Our best farmers are now reading and thinking men, and their success is the direct result < 'A thought applied to husbandry. They have the Vs*. papers and books that treat of their art. wd brain guides muscle in all their farm operarirmw. The sluggards must imi tate their example, or lose the profits. Then we mtrat. have more capital invested in the business. A large part of what we have is in the wrong place—in the land it self, rather than m the stock, tools, manure and labor to make the cultivation profitable. It is well enough fee the cultivator to own his farm, if he have capital enough remaining to work it with; but if he have not, let him sell a part or mortgage the whole, to raise it. In our New England husbandry we need from ■ thirty to fifty dollars for every acre under the plow, to make the crops pay fairly. Farming with insufficient capital has been the curse of the business from the beginning. In Eng land, as a role, the farmer does not own the sbil, but hires o:i-a long lease, and applies all his capital, or so- much as he needs, to the produbtion of tha crops. He spends more upon the soil, anP makes it pay better. Here leasing is the exception. Every man has a Strong craving for more land, rather than to make what he has better. If he has capital, the probabilities are that he will invest it in bank-stoek, or more land, rather than in more manure, or more stock and grain, to make manure with. If we could trace the history of every in dividual farm, as we do the history of a town, or of a State, we should find it a long strug gle with insufficient capital. The farm was originally carved out of the forest, by a man who'had little else than his two hands and a few tools to work with. With his axe he made the first clearing, and with the help of a neighbor's team, he did his first plowing and put in his first crops. The virgin soil was in bis favor nnd yielded bountifully for a tew years, and furnished him with the means to pnt up bis frame dwelling, his barn and other outbuildings. It. took one generation to rt the land cleared of stnmps and the buildings paid for. It took another to accumulate a little capital but that, unfortunately for the homestead, was either spent in more land, or in educating children for other pursuits, and in starting them in business. The much .that needed doing upon the old homestead, jhas been put off from one .generation to an other, and remains still to be done by some man who has faith in the business, and is willing to invest in it, and to live by it. He wants capital to drain the swamps and swales, which are now the richest part of the soil ; |to work his muck mine, and add to his com post heap; to sec-nre the best farm imple ments and the best stock ; to use all the la bor aud manure that he needs for the most economical raising of crops. And this brings us to the last element of a more profitable husbandry that we shall touch upon in this article. Most of our farmers nro sadly deficient in labor. It is not nnfro quent to find a two hundred acre farm worked with a force of one hired man and a boy, with the aid of the proprietor, and a little ex tra help in the haying season. As a conse quence, very little is planted or sowed, and that is but half cared for ; very little is rais ed, and the profits, if any, are very small. More than half of the means of the owner are locked up in land that does not yield him a cent of income. It might as well be in the bottom of the sea. A farmer who is compe tent to direct the labors of one man and make it pay, may just as well direct live or more. And we think it will be found that two men pay better than one, and five better ; than two. It looks and feels a good deal more like business, and more is accomplish ed. It is disheartening to any man to go in to a ten acre corn-field and hoe all day alone. But where are we to get the capital from, that will furnish the conditions of a more profitable husbandry ? Just where the mer chant and mechanic got theirs. There nre monied men and banks who make their prof its by lending, and they are just as anxious to lend on good security as the business man is to borrow. What better security can they have than the farm, whichdoes not run away ; and which, with skillful management, pays as uniform dividends as any other business ? The trouble, we apprehend, is not so much in getting the money, as in wanting it. Farm ers must have faith in their business, must invest their all in it as the merchant does, and then they will thrive by it. — Farm and Fireside, for January , 1867. C< ILVER'S WASH POWDER.

Th T rihnut atom* ■ p-n tie' year I si? mare prosperous in l.qitie-s th 01 ever before. The ex pediency of mlnvpilig Oil I' ( ages—thus making the Triess' the in -c.t rio! the ckcfipcrt news paper in Ann ire win doubled by many. We have found mir n<<-oiinl in it. The circulation of The Tribune i-< readily incre-udag, ami our nd vertisiug putruuagc Ins im reused so much that it is mnro Jiffi.tiU to print our news than wh>n wc tiscil a smaller sheet, and this difficulty we CBD only meet by frequently publishing supplementa ry pages. The choe of the war lias imposed upon The Tribune tho discussion of momentous and pecu liar problems. We have met tlicm as beet wo could, laboring with sincerity fur Freedom, Social l'rogress, Political Equality, Impartial Suffrage .til Rights fur All. A Itcpuhlican President bo came the enemy of Bopabliciinlsnw sud we have I been called upon to denounce arid expose the I treacheries of a degraded Administration. It was not without psin, certainly nut without much thinking, that wo uiado an issue with President Johnson. The people approved our course by re turning their radical representatives to power. The elections of I SAB—as important to tho nation ns Lee's eurrcuder —make new duties. Recon struction is now the duty of the country—political reconstruction —reconstruction in finances and tarifis. We are no longer prc—cl by war necessi ties, and we must amend our war experiments. The {'resent condition of the currency is a griev ous evil. Trade suffers; our manufacturing inter ests sre in o precarious state. A dollar does not mean a dollar, but its fraction. It may he sixty costs, it may be ten. It is a sentiment, nst a fact. When tho laborer earns his dollar, ho (lues not know whether he hns one loaf of bread or ten. Alt business is feverish and unsettled. We think this can only be remedied by a wise nnd intrepid policy at Washington—by reducing the currency to the specie basis. I'pon this we shall insist. The necessity of Protection to Labor again presses upon us. We regret that on this most im portant measure tho Republican party is divided. An honest but mischievous minority in the West, particularly, arc endeavoring to create a policy which can only result in the prostration of Amer ican Industry—the degradation of Labor and the aggrandizement of English capitalists. Luring the many yean of our work wo have struggled against this interest. We believe Protection more necessary now than evor before, and we shall insist upon the broadest and wisest legislation for the Itigh's of Labor. In the perplexing question of Reconstruction we sec no reason to amend the policy which wc have asserted since tho close of the war. It then seemed to us that Emancipation of the Black should be followed by Suffrage for tho Black. We did not sec the wisdom of a policy of promiscuous Imaging. We had too much blood in war to ask for blood in peace—oven to gratify angry ven geance. It .-cemcit important that the douth should concede suffrage, and that the North ,-hould concede Amnesty. Some of our friends disap proved of this,-bat Congress has followed our ad vice. Amnesty has been approved by Congress —to a greater extent than we claimed in The Ti i bune. We have held that the men who starved captives in ltchel dungeons, who murdered sur remloicd prisoners, who violated the rules of war. and aided the assassination of Mr. Lincoln,should be tried and punished. Congress and Ihc Admin istration have agreed that no punishment should be inflicted even upon men wh" are charged witi. these crimes, and the only measure looking lik„ punishment is the amendment of disfranehUe raciit from holding office, which is merely a senti. mental and not a practical jicnalty. On tho oth er hand, the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, the Freeilinan's Bureau Bill, and the Bill for Suffrage in the District of Columbia, show that reconstruc tion will not be consummated without suffrage and protection for the Blacks. The policy of The Tribune has been practically adopted by those who differed with us during the discussion. Wc never quarrel with friends who are impatient with us. We do theiu the justice of believing they go their way to what is right, just as wo tract they will do us the justice of believing we go our way to what is right. We work for the same ob ject, but perhaps in different ways. We have no higher aim than to secure peare to this nation, and t all nations—liberty, progress, hnppir.css, virtue, and the universal brotherhood of man. And for this wc shall continue to toil in our Iwst way. We have reorganize! and strengthen. I every department of The Tribune. Wc have correspon dents in every part .;f this country and in every country of the world; resident correspondents iii every capital and commercial center of Europe ai d South America; special correspondents who follow important movements in all parts of th" earth. This. e.i-n;,.t r money, and to organize li wo havs invested many thousands of dollars. When we tatr lhat there arc three hundred people directly or indirectly connected with the editorial department of the Tribune, charged, in a greater or lesser degree, with writing for its columns and giving it news, and that for every item of news we pay money, the vast expense of our publication may be ima gined. We intend to enlarge these facilities, and not only to gather news from all parts ol the world, but to ask the most gifted men of other countries to write for our columns. With many of them we have already entered into negotiations which will result in giving to the readers of The Tn'buuc a series of essays that, both for their in trinsic value and the fame of th ir illustrious au thors, w ill long he memorable in the history of journalism. Wc postpone for the present a more definite announcement. Friends of Impartial Justice and Progress! wc greet you on the bright prospects before us. Friends of The Tribune ! we appeal to those who believe that an increased circulation of The 7Vt btiur w<uld conduce to the political, intellectual, and moral well-being of the Republic, to aid us in effecting sucU increase.
