gjxm, IK FARKIK6 A PROFITABLE Bl'SI- N'KSN? Yes, sir farming is a profitable business when rightly managed. If it weve not so. why is it that where but a few years ago the roads through our country were lined with log huts for habitations and evidences of poverty met the view of the passer-by at every step, we now sec large, handsome farmhonscs. great barns crowded with plenty, and all surrounded wifh evidences not. onlv of plenty, but of wealth. And why is it that men wko, but a few years ago. were worth only a few hundred dollars-or perhaps noth ing, are now buying, in addition to their al ready large farms, those of their neighbors Yes, sir. and paying for them. too. This is the state of things here on the Western Re serve, and our country affords many better sections frtr fhrming than this. One reason why there are so many failures in farming is. as iie stated, the shiftlessnes* of those who pretend to be farmers. Another great rea son is. that it is a very common opinion among men that any one that, has not brains enough for anything else is just fit to be a farmer (thnutrh I hope this notion has loss supporters than formerly), and that all the education a farmer needs, or ought to have, is to know how to rend, write, unit eot,f u p accounts." There is an old couplet which expresses another reason for the lack of suc cess in fanning: "Ho who. by ths plow, would tbrtvc. Must either hold himself, or drive. " A man, to be. a successful farmer, must at tend to his business himself- From my own experience for the last ten years as a farmer, and my acquaintance with farming communi ties, I do consider farming a profitable and pleasant business, ami I know of rgj man of energy and good judgment, With a taste for farming, that has jjoUbecn successful. A etc York Observer. HOUS I> TilK A I*l*l.E OBOIAKn. Nodody sends as mane apples to market as iiit neighbor John Jacob". He always has apples to sell. and gets the highest pri ces. Folks prefer large apples, and such are always in Jacob's barrels. Aon may search them with a candle, and not find a knotty ■fruit or *"1) hole. Fuch Rhode . Island Greenings and Knxbury J'nssetts I hare never met with in the old States. — They are as handsome as any thing in the virgin soil of the A\ est. T was going to Ja- cob's orchard last summer and I had the cu riosity to call and examine for myself. Says I. "Neighbor, what is there in your soil that makes such smooth, large apples? They tire a third bigger than anything T can get, and my trees look as well as yours, ' The se cret is not in the soil," John replied with a twiukle in his e3'e, "hut on if. Do yon se those grunters there? My pork brings rod fifty cents a pound —eight in flesh, and the balance in fruit. I began to pasture my orchard ten years ago with hogs, and since that time I have had no trouble with wormy fruit. Apples, as a general thing, do not fall from the tree unless something is the matter with thetn. The apple-worm and curculia lay their eggs in the fruit, and the apples drop early. The pigs devour the ap ples, and by September ovary mi sound ap ple is gone, and I have nothing but fair fruit loft. The crop of insects for the next year is devoured by the pigs. They root around under the trees, keep the soil loose, manure the land some, and work over what I spread. • The apples help the pigs, and the pirn* help, the apples." I saw John's secret at once, and have prof ited by it. I never had so few insects as this spring, and I have given the pigs cred it for it. In turning the orchard into a pas ture, put in pigs—not landpikes, with snouts like levers. You might lose trees as well as insects in that case. But well-bred animals with judicious snouts, will root in a subdued and proper manner.— American Agricultu rist. I VRMEKN AND FARMI3f. A prominent pnblic man at Washington writes me: "I envy you the delights of your farm, and long to get back to mine."' There is a pleasure in farming which those who have never engaged in other pursuits do not appreciate. I pity the man who has no love for agriculture ox horticulture. There must be something radically wrong in his consti tution. Depend upon it, he cannot be much of a man. Of course he may wish to engage in other pursuits for the purpose of making money. But if he prefers to stand behind a counter and measure out dry goods or groceries, and thinks it more "respectable" than cultivating the soil, he cither lacks the instincts of a gebtlemcn, or is weak in the upper regions. I would not walk ten rods with such a man if I could help it, or have any intercourse with him further than was necessary. I should expect him to say something that was disagreeable. "But farmers are not all gentlemen." True. Some of the most conceited and dis agreeable men I ever knew were farmers. But such men, however much they may af fect to despise those engaged in other pur suits, have no real love for agriculture and no genuine self-respect. Ignorant, preju diced, without culture, ill-bred, self-satisfied, with low tastes and sordid desires, they are incapable of appreciating the dignity of their avocation. — Genessce Farmer. Do NOT feed off pastures too closely, as the grass will lie a long time starting again, especially in hot and dry weather. It is bad policy to keep so much stock that pastures arc always very short. The leaves of grass perform the office of lungs. Therefore, let pl ants have top enough, that the breathing may not he obstructed. THERE is a young lady in Henry County, Missouri, not yet sweet sixteen, who is this year cultivating fifteen aeres of com. She does all the necessary work, including plough ing, and has taken this course to obtain money with which to educate herself. LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEEP.— The English rule is to weigh sheep when fatted, and divide the weight by seven, and call it quarters. Thus, sheep weighing one hun dred aDd forty pounds, would give twenty pounds a quarter as the dead weight. If the sheep are in good condition, this rule is sufficient for all purposes. Poor sheep will fall below the mark, and extra fat ones go over it. BLANK DEEDS—A splendid assortment for sale at the "Inquirer Office.' PROPERTY FOR SALE.

Those Powders have proved, after a trial of sev eral years, to be superior to any preparation of the kind in use. The chief superiority of these powders arises floin the fact that they art-compos ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi ties from the stomach and intestines, thetonicgives strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri fying medicines contained in them cleanse the blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous 'and healthy circulation. The use of them improves the wand, strengthens the appetiteand gives the horsea fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal. These powders arc not intended, as most pow ders arc to bloat the animal, so as to give him the appeurnnee of being fat when not really so—but to remove the disease and promote his general health. These powders will strengthen the stomach and intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an 4 bring them to a healthy state.

Compared with the cost of the original editions, which at the present prcminm on gold wonld be about #lllO year, our prices (sls) areexceeding ly low. Add to this the fact. that we make our an nual payments to the British Publishers for early sheets and copyright in Gold—sl costing nS at this time nearly #2.51) in currency—and we trust that in the scale we have adopted wo shall ho enti rely justified by onr subscribers and the reading public. The interest of the.se Periodicals to American readers is rather increased than diminished by the articles they contain on ourgrcnt Civil War, and though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may still, considering their great ability and the differ ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be read and studied with advantage by the people of this country of every creed and party.

The property of the above named company, which is about being organized under the mining laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following valuable territory, to wit: 1. A lease of onc-haif acre, known as "No. ft," on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry Bun, Venango county, Pa., just above the celebra ted "Heed" well and within a stone's throw of a well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels pel day.

Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of Hitchey Run, one mile from its junction with the Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox and Wide! well, owned by the "Stump Tsland Oil Company."

There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.

The great "Reed" well, flowing 375 barrels |>er day, the "Mountaiu" well flowing 40U, and in fact nearly all of the large well? yet struck, arc loceNnlon Cherry BUD.
