THE ROAD TO POOR FARMING.
1. Invest all your capital in land, and run
in debt for more.
2. Hire money to stock your farm.
3. Have no faith in your own business,
and be always ready to sell out.
4. 'Buy mean cows, spavined horses, poor
oxen, and cheap tools.
5. Feed poor hay and mouldy cornstalks
exclusively, in order to keep your stock
tame : fiery cattle are terribly hard on old,
rickety wagons and plows.
6. Use the oil of hickory whenever your
oxen need strength : it is cheaper than hay
or meal, and keeps the hair lively, and
pounds out all the grubs.
7. Select such calves for stock as the
butchers shun—beauties of runts, thin in
the hams, and pot-bellied ; but be sure and
keep
,their blood thin by scanty herbage.
8. Be cautious about manufacturing ma:
nure; it makes the fields look black and
mournful about planting time ; besides, it is
a deal of work to haul it.
9. Never waste time by setting out fruit
and shade trees ; fruit and leaves rotting
around a place make it unhealthy.
A PEFENCE OF PIGEONS.
No matter at what time of the year a
pigeon's crop may be opened, it will be
f ou nd to contain at least eight times as
much of the seeds of weeds as of wheat, or
rye, or corn, or .other grains. It is also
very remarkable that the grains thus taken
from the field are the defective ones. They
take only the worthless seeds. For these
reasons, these birds should be regarded as
the best weeders that a farmer can employ ;
for while he merely chops up a weed, often
when it is so well grown that it ripens its
seeds on the ground where he may have
left it, the pigeons come along and make
clean work by eating them. The farmer
removes merely the weeds, but the pigeons
remove the cause of them.
Any one who has kept these birds on his
premises must have noticed how fond they
are of pecking among the rubbish which is
thrown out from a barn floor after thresh
ing wheat or other grain. They will search
there, for many days together, hunting out
the shrivelled grains, the poppy-seeds and
cockle, and other pests of the farm, thus
getting many a good meal from seeds that
barnyard fowls never condescend to pick up.
When the latter get into a garden, they
scratch and tear up everything, as though
they were scratching for a wager; but a
pigeon is better bred by nature—he never
scratches; hence he disturbs no seeds the
gardener may have planted. When h 9 gets
into the garden, it is either to get a nibble at
the pea-vines or the beans, as he is extrava
gantly fond of both, or to search for weeds.
This fondness of the pigeon tribe for
seeds of plants injurious to the farm is
much better known in Europe than with
us. At one time in certain districts of
France, where large numbers of pigeons had
been kept, they were nearly all killed off.
These districts had been , famous for the
fine, clean, and excellent quality of the
wheat raised within them. But very soon
after the number of pigeons had been re
duced, the land became overgrown with
weeds that choked the crops. The straw,
in consequence grew thin and weak, while
the grain was so deficient in plumpness and
weight as to render it unfit for seed. Every
farmer remarked the difference when the
districts had plenty of pigeons and when
they had only a few. The people, therefore,
returned to pigeon-keeping. Every land
lord, in renting his farm, required his ten
ants to build a pigeon-house or dove-cot, in
order to insure amps. Many of these were
very' expensive structures. It has been
further observed in other districts in France,
that where pigkons are most abundant,
there the wheat fields are most productive,
4ind, that they never touch seed which has
been rolled in lime.—Our Young Folks.
PUT IT OUT OF SIGHT.
Some years ago, as I was told, a farmer,
who had long been annoyed at the unsightly
appearance of a large stone quite near his
door, determined to remove it, and forthis
pupose dug about it, fastened chains to it,
and thus attaching it to a yoke of oxen,
tried by their strength to drag it away.
But all in vain; it seemed too firmly im
bedded in the earth to yield to any out
ward force. While thus engaged, a stran
ger came up and inquired the way to a
neighboring town; The needed directions
were given, and still the stranger lingered,
as if interested in the progress of the work.
At length the farmer said :
" I would give five dollars if that stone
were out of sight."
" Wofild you ?" said the stranger. " I
thought you wanted to remove it."
"That's just it," said the farmer. " I
want it out of sight."
"I will put it out of sight for five dol
lars ; though, as it is getting on well toward
noon, I should like to have my dinner
thrown into the bargain."
" Very well," said the farmer, "you shall
have the money and your dinner thrown
In."
Accordingly the stranger pulled off his
coat, and hating propped the stone so as to
hold it firmly in its place, he took the
shovel and began digging away the earth
from underneath, until he had made a hole
large enough to receive it, and yet leave
room above tor a foot or two .of soil. H e
then removed the props, and the stone sunk
into the place prepared for it, and he
speedilyuovered it with earth, and it was
buried from sight forever.
MICHIGAN APPLE CROP.
e Detroit 'Free Press estimates that
armers of Michigan will realize at least
Ilion and a half dollars from their

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1865.
OILING LEATHER.
The Scientific American says that oils
should not be applied to dry leather, as
they would invariably injure it. If you
wish to oil a harness, wet it over night,
covet' it with a blanket, and in the morning
it will be dry and supple; then apply neat's
foot oil in small quantities, and with so
much elbow grease as will insure its dis
seminating itself throughout the leather.
A soft, pliant harness is easy to handle, and
lasts longer than a neglected one. Never
use vegetable oils on leather; and among
animal oils, neat's foot is the best.
EGGS nit BunNs.—The white of an egg
has proved the most efficacious remedy for
burns. Seven or eight successive (hourly)
applications of this substance soothe pain,
and effectually exclude the burned parts
from the air. This simple remedy is far
preferable to collodion, or even cotton.
Miotritannuo,
THE ONE HUMANITY.
The phrase which is now used as a rally
ing cry by the Democratic party, " that this
is a white man's country," and which they
are seeking to embody in their policy
towards the South, expresses the very low
est conception of government.
It is a low conception of government that
it exists merely for protection; in other
words, to keep the hands of one man from
invading the person or property of another.
The true reason of political society is the
education and elevation of our humanity.
It is not merely v C 13,, but TO 171 441*, as
Aristotle so tersely expresses it—not mere
ly to live but to live well. The true politi
cal economy is not wealth, nor commerce,
nor works of internal improvement, nor
anything that enters into what is commonly
called national prosperity, except as subor
dinate to a nobler aim, and that is, to carry
the human culture to its highest perfec
tion—to produce the noblest style of man
collectively and in each individual embraced
in the political-organization. • It is to raise
us from that low, selfish, animal,individual
izing life which we live, each man by him
self, into that higher and more rational
humanity which we live with others. It is
this alone that makes the state truly what
a false and ignorant conservatism is so fond
of styling it—a divine institution'. It is
this alone that can realize that old Socratic
idea which is never to be surrendered—the
glorious dream of a perfect earthly republic
whose " rulers are philosophers," and in
whose temple there dwelleth the ",perfect
righteousness." It is this alone that can
raise to its highest dignity the state on
earth, by making it one, at last, with the
upper politeuma, or church " that cometh
down from God out of heaven.'.'
This is the Bible doctrine of the state.
Such, too, however, improperly conceived,
was the view of the, great thinkers of
antiquity, With them, however, it had
one most serious and vital defect. They
founded the state too much, or too exclu
sively, we might say, on race; -and hence
their failure. Christianity has changed
this by bringing in a new principle; and
now human political institutions have
another trial, with a better, though it may
be long a delayed hope. It has brought
out and placed in the front that glorious
truth which Paul preached on Mars Hill,
in the midst of the race-bigoted Athenians :
"God hath made of one blood all nations of'
men to dwell upon all the face of the earth."
The aim of the Christian state is no longer
to make the best Greeks, or the best Ro
mans, or the best Anglo-Saxons, but the
best men. It is no longer a "white" man's
government, any more than it is a red man's
or a black man's. All such preposterous
assumptions stamp it as anti-Christian, and
forfeit its claim to be regarded as a vice
gerency of God. rf we may use the
language of the mart and the manufactory,
the great business of the state is to turn out
the best specimens of the article, homo. In
other and better words may we say : its
lofty ideal, its divine mission, is to help all
the weak, to lift up all the allen, to raise
to the highest culture of which he is capa
ble bvery son of Adam that breathes upon
its territory.
This is not a theme for mere essay
writing. It involves the greatest and most
practical question now before this nation.
We boast Of having gone beyond others in
social and 4 political science, but we have
come at laA to a place where the claim is
to be most solemnly tested. This question
of race is put before us as a stone of stumb
ling, or a rock of exaltation. It is for the
rising or thllalling of our Israel. We have
a glorious Wl to the performance of the
true mission of a Christian state. Do we
feel that glory ? Have we any true sense
of the honor that God is putting upon us
in appointing us to such a trial, such a mis
sion=more distinctly announced to us than
ever' before to any nation under heaven?
Over and over again, in every form but one,
have we set forth the principle of ••human
equality before the law. We have boasted
of our land as the free home of all races.
We have insulted other nations in the
vehemence of our declamation. And now
are we brought face to face with a question
that . will test it all. We are reluctant to
concede to the African what we boast of
giving to others—what we almost'force upon
others presenting no higher claims, appar
ently, of intellectual or of moral worth.
Why this odious distinction as against
one , race ? It is because the loathsome trail
of slavery has passed over us, leaving its
foul slime upon its immediate victims and
producing everywhere a misgiving as to
their proper humanity. It has tainted the
national mind. The doubt is openly avowed
by some ; it lies as an unsatisfied query in
the minds of ethers; it lingers unconscious
ly, or semi-consciously, with many whose
philanthropy or political consistency holds
them back from confessing it even to them
selves; it haunts the soul as a ghostly
prejudice, even when philosophy and re
ligion have made us reject it as a dogma.
We do not fully and heartily believe that
the negro is a man. We could not act or
reason as we do, unless this were the case.
Our - moral waid is not fully persuaded of
it, notwithstanding the wreck of all true
morality that must result from the belief,
once thorougly , popularized, that men, or
any tb4 have seemingly the physical and
ethical characteristics of men, are really
animals of distinct and graded species. Our
religious world is held back from its hearty
practical acknowledgment, notwithstanding
the havoc which both reason and conscience
tell us the contrary opinion, when it has
once settled down into the common mind,
must make in our Biblical and Christian
theology.
Wereit not for this, we could not treat
the colored man as we do in our social and
religious relations ; we could not bear the
moral and political inconsistency; we could
not face either the world or our own con
victions ; we should have to shut our Bi
bles; we could not read, or bear to hear
read, our Declaration of Independence.
Thus are we compelled in self-defence to
dehumanize the negro. It is demanded as
an opiate to conscience. If he is truly a
man, as we are men, then we are so greatly
guilty. Even the vilest party discipline
would have to yield to the claim of ac
knowledged manhood. There is a party
among us that has reached the minimum
of littleness, and the maximum of loath
someness, in making the scorn and debase
ment of a crushed race the sole foundation
of their political edifice. Its column has
no other base than the bruised head of the
negro. It is a party that has squandered
everything else that ever had the semblance
of principle, and now this cry of " nigger"
is the only capital iemaining to it. Yet
even this party, low and hard as it has be
come, could not keep together its own ig
norant followers against a clear and settled
recognition of the humanity of those whom
they would thus treat as outcasts from the
political and social polity. Even the Oop
perhead Democrat would become ashamed
of himself; he could not face the questions
that would arise if stripped of his vile plea
(whether believed by himself or not) of the
African's want of a proper manhood. So
true it is that a. false feeling outside of his
party is the aliment that gives it' all its
poisonous vitality.
Is the negro a man ? Say what we will,
this is the real issue in the controversy
respecting :him. It underlies all others.
'lt affects our reasoning in respect to all
other aspects of the debate; it colors'out
speech, it gives a hue to our thought, it
weakens our best arguments, it gives
strength to our Worst fallacies. We say it
boldly, and appeal to the public conscious
ness. It is everywhere, and most truly was
it said by. General Howard, that " nothing
but the spirit of Christ can overcome it.'
Strange that such a declaration should hive
been left to be made by one of our major
generals, only to be denounced by a repub
lican press as canting and sectarian !
We must meet the issue fairly, and settle
it at once'and forever, before we can deal
with others that are collateral to it. We
do not sufficiently think how vital and fun
damental this questiOn is. We are evading
it. Some do this consciously, many uncon
sciously, and without any distinct idea of
the nature and results of their reasoning.
We talk humanely, or affect to do so, with
out seeming to be aware that the style we
adopt, the arguments we employ, though
seemingly in his favor, are really dehuman
izing the subject to which they are applied.
We do not speak or write thus concerning
any other classes among us, however low
we may think them in the outward social
scale. Even when we advocate the cause
of the African, we do it in a manner that
would be thought insulting and utterly
undemocratic in any other case. We use
the language of masters and owners. The
style of our ordinary questions betrays this.
It is not what is due to them, as men equally
with ourselves coming under the reciprocal
obligation of the golden rule, but "what
shall we do with them," what shall we give
or concede, or what shall we withhold. Who
would thus defend Irish citizenship, or the
admission of Irishmen to our railroad cars,
or to our churches, or to our communion
tables ? The , way in which we speak to
the colored man, and of the colored man,
shows an unconscious yielding to the anti-
Christian prejudice we are striving to over
come. Frederick .Douglass said that Mr.
Lincoln was the only man he knew that
could talk to a colored person without some
appearance of condescension. The fact
reveals one of the noblest traits in the noble
character of our martyred President. But
the general observation of the shrewd and
intelligent Douglass was undoubtedly true.
There is a timidity, an apologetic pleading,
that we would not think of adopting if we
were advocating a right grounded on the
clear, conscious acknowledgment that those
who are thus defended are really men, and
have the same rights which our religious
code, no less than our Declaration of inde
pendence, challenges for all men.
We might .dwell here, or we may dwell
at some other time, on some of the fearful
consequences that have been barely alluded
to, of the effect which the leaving this issue
unsettled, 'or settled wrong, would have
upon the most important aspects of human
belief—its debasement of our politics, its
degradation of our psychology, the ruin it
would make in our theology, its undermin
ing of Christian belief, its tendency to
darken even natural religion, with all the
proofs it is supposed to offer of human
dignity and human immortality—all gone
the moment we begin to make essential dis
tinctions in humanity, or to treat it at all
as a mere matter of degree, or to take one
step downwards on that Stygian ladder that
shall connect our human, through succes
sive gradations, with all the brutal ani
mality that lies below. • The degradation
of one part is the degradation of all, and
hence the thought we would labor to im
press, that every man has both a selfish and
a fraternal interest in the elevation of every
other man.— The Nation.

serious loss to myself and the public, I am happy to
verify the old adage that "It's an ill wind that blows
nobody any good," and consequently congratulate
YOU that your well-known SAFES have again demon
strated their superior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity. The Safe you made for me some
time ago was in the office of the Museum, on the
second floor, back part of the building. and in the
hottest of the fire. After twenty four hours of trial
it was found among the debris, and on opening it this
day has yielded up its contents in very good ' order.
Books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for immediate use. and a noble com
mentary on the trustworthiness of HERRING'S FIRE
PROOF SAFES. Yruly yours, . _

probably any safe will ever be subjected in any fire—
so intense that the brass knobs and the mountings of
the exterior of same were melted off, and the whole
surface scaled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the contents—books and
papers—were found to be entire and uninjured..
This Safe is now on exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh Street, with the books and papers still re

The powers under the Charter of the UNION
COMPARY, are unlimited, for mining pur-
The Company has purchased several very valuable
Gold and Silver Mines, located near Canon City and .
Watertown, in Big Creek Mining District, on the
western slope of the Toiyabe Mounthins, Reese River
section, Lander County, Nevada, and near the over
land stage route and the projected railroad to the
Pacific coast.
The Superintendent and one of the largest stock
holders of the Company, are already at the mines,
and one of the Directors is on the way to Nevada.
It is designed to construct a quartz-mill of 50stamps
capacity, which will work 5() tons of ore per day.
The mines of the Company are now being opened and
developed under the direction of an experienced and
competent Superintendent, and are estimated by
practical mining and mill engineers to be the most
'extensive and valuable mines of any Company in the
world.
It should be borne in mind that after the mills are
once constructed, the expense of running and repairs
are very small and the earnings enormous.
Foity-nine thousand and nine hundred shares of
the stock have been placed to the credit of the Trea
surer, in trust, to be sold as directed by the Board of
Director, to purchase machinery to •work the ores.
and for the general operations and expenses of the
Company.
A statement has recently been received from L. D.
Chillson, Esq., who opened and was developing the
mines, that the ore grew richer the deeper the .mine
was worked, and that by his estimate, the Mine that
was purchased by the Company, (the whole capital, f
which is only $500,000,) is' worth at least one million
dollars in gold,—which should make the stock worth
more than $lO per share: and should the ore continue
to grow richer as is usually the case, as it is worked
below the water line, the value of the stock will
enhanced in proportion.
Two very large and valuable ledges in addition to
the above, also belong to the Company.
The Board of Directors have decided to sell stock
at $5 per share,—feeling assured that as soon as
machinery is at the mines, the stock will command a
high premium, and that, large dividends are sure to
be made.
Subscriptions will be received at the office of the
Companj , to the working capital.
