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

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

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.

CELEBRATED
Horfif and Cattle Powder*.
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. They are a surepre
vention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy

Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Ooric
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value which should place it in the
hands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive much faster,

In all diseases of swine, as conghs, nleers in the

to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swift, the
above diseases can be cured or entirely prevented.
By using thesa powders the hog cholera can be
prevented. •

Ifo Favoritism, Every Subscriber on Ihe

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. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the Oil bo the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
the above, known as "No. fl," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Bun. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Crock, of two acres of ground: five-eighths of
the oil to the company.
4. 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." All flat, bofeable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
It.
5. Three acres in foe simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion Kiver Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, are now sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
■fn presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it eunnot be excelled by
that of any other company yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry liun are themselves worth
more than the territorips of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Kun region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream haro been
successful. 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.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital fttr its development, at the low price of

as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boring up
