Good taste, duty to society and self

The farms of this country very
generally, unlike those of old coun
tries which have been cultivated for
centuries, need a great amount ot
actual clearing—not the removal of
timber, which on the contrary re
qnires cultivation and renewal—but
in the way ot removing brush and
rubbish of various kinds. The
adornment of farms by the removal
ol blemishes has been greatly neg
lected in the pressing struggle for
immediate returns. But it is not

Sound Idem on Fuming.
The following views on farming
were thrown out by Mr. Greeley in
his speech at Baltimore, and they so
entirely cover the ground' of suc
cessful culture that we give them a
place for the benefit of our readers.
. 1. That the area under cultivation
should be within, the limits of the
capital_and labor employed or, in
other words, that .on impoverished
soils no one should cultivate more
land than he can enrich . with ma
nure and fertilizers, be it one acre
or twenty.
2. That there should be a law
compelling every man to prevent his
stock from depredating on hier
neighbor's fields,
3. That greensoil is more economi
cal than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential
to good taming.
5. That the muck heap is the
farmer’s bank, and everything
should be added to it that will en
large it, and increase at the same
time its fertilizing properties.
6. That no farmer or planter
should depend upop one stable
alone, but should seek to secure
himself against serious loss in bad
seasons by diversity of products.
j ‘
Hoarding Wool.
As a role, it is better to sell any
given commodity, when the price is
remunerative, even though it be not
high. Money has so iar been lost
to the farmers 1 by hoarding wool.
Lately, however, wool has been
looking up, aud the large quantity
destroyed by the great fire in Bos
ton, will help to appreciate prices.,
lu relation to holding wool, the
Pittsburgh Commercial in speaking
for this portion of the country says:
“Western Pennsylvania and Ohio
districts are feeling severely the
decline in the price of wool. Dur
ing the summer, when wool opened
at sev|nty-five cents per pound, we
urged ; upon our farmers to sell, as
it was top of the mar
ket ; but, deluded by the experi
ence of the former season, they held
tor higher prices ; instead of an ad
vance, prices have been receding all
summer, and are now lower than any
time during the year. No. 1 pulled
is quoted at forty to forty-five cents,
and American full blood Merino at
fifty-seven to sixty cents per pound.
The clip of Washington county is
estimated as worth $1,600,000, at
seventy-cents. Bankers familiar
with that trade report not the one
tenth of the amount sold, the rest
being stowed away in barns and
ware-houses, the farmers paying
storage and insurance and losing the
interest on their money.”
Late Brood of Chicken*.
Many hens, especially canning old
ones, steal their nests late in the
season, and perhaps about the
noddle of August come off with
broods of chickens. They are too
often neglected, or as they get large
enough for broiling just as cold
weather comes - on,' are ruthlessly
slaughtered, trom the fear that they
will not winter well. If cared foj,
and kept growing daring the Winter
they will next Summer prove
most valuable fowls on the farm,
since they commence laying about
the time the old°r ones cease, and
furnish plenty of eggs just when
they are mosi'wanted and most up
dated. Every farmer should save
one or more late broods of chickens,
in order to prolong "the laying season
in the Summer. —Buckeye Farmer. \

cation of the following recipes.

pleasing and instrnctive entertainment, can secure
the services of Mr. Hamilton upon reasonable
terms. He is now making arrangements for a lec
ture tour through the West early in the fall. His
lectures have been received with marked success
in New England, as a few selected notices wil
show: ,
IVHAT THEY SAY OF “SMOKE.”
It was a keen and hnmorons exposure or the
“Sham and Show” of life. Uis description of the
peculiarities of some Smoky men elicited bursts of
daughter and applause. He was funny and instruc
tive hoth.—BoslonTriintcript.
It was a humorous lecture illustrated by an
abundance of witty andsatlricai anecdotes, exhib
iting the very superior descriptive powers of the
speaker, and showed in welrdefincd style the value
of the real and true .—AbingtooStandard.
The lecture was received wlth ianghter and ap
plause, as it repealed clouds of “Smoke" where
most people seldom look for Qr&.—SomerviUe
Journal. , -
The feast of reason and flow of soul produced
such laughter and applause that it is confidently
believed that certain dyspeptics in the audience
were permanently cured. Fast young men, ex- -
tremely fashionable young ladles, old logy preachy
era, intriguing politicians, spread eagle orators and\
various other personages would best avoid bearing \
this lecture if they are afraid of sensible criticism.
