A FARMER'S DUTY.
A farmer is a trustee, or a steward. His
great Employer has committed a charge to
him; and said: "Occupy till I remove yon.
Raise whatever crops you choose, but keep
the soil in as good state of fertility as it was
when you received it. The soil is to support
those who will come after you. It is robbery
to take crop after crop of grain off a farm,
and do nothing towards repairing the waste."
He who recklessly adopts a bad system of
husbandry, not only wrongs hipiself, -but is
guilty of great injustice to his successors.
The Creator works by 'means; and He will
not restore impoverished soils by a miracle.
If a farmer by bad husbandry injures the fer
tility of his soil, he and those who come after
him must suffer the damage resulting from
his abuse of the resources of the farm. It is
therefore the solemn duty of every man to try
to keep his soil in a good state of fertility by
means of the manurial resources which it af
fords. If he, does as well as every farmer
may do, the day will soon dawn when our
grass fields will yield two spears where only
one grows now, and all our crops of cereal
grain will be increased at least two fold. Ev
ery farmer can do this in a few years, by
simply commencing a renovating system—by
under-draining, manuring, and growing crops
in rotation. Let young farmers resolve to
leave their soil in a better state of fertility
than they receive it. Then they will have the
satisfaction of knowing that they have been
faithful in their stewardship as tillers of the
soil.
PRODUCTIVE FARM. —The Mount Morris
Lnion states that on the Ogdea farm, located
on the Genesee flats, fifty acres of fine wheat
aro boii*<r harvested, while there oro 1()Q n £
oats with barley and corn to match. The net
receipts of the farm for 1865, were SBOIS. A
few days since 55 steers were sold from this
farm, for the sum of $4125. The farm con
sists of 450 acres of the best farming land in
the Genessee Valley.
THE BLACK KNOT.— We recently saw the
black knot on the wild cherries on Mt. Phil
lips, 2000 feet above the base of the mountain.
This disease is not confined to cultivated dis
tricts. The only way to get rid of it in gar
dens is to cut the limbs off and burn them,
and if a tree is badly infested to cut it down
at once, as it] will never be good for
anything and will propagate the disease to
young trees with great rapidity.
SCAB. —It is said that the shepherds in
Spain cure the scab in sheep with an oint
ment made of the trunk and roots of the Ju
niper, by breaking them into small pieces and
infusing them in water.
THE value of live stock in lowa is $71.000,-
000, an increase of 360 per cent, in six years.
It is claimed that neither Michigan nor Wis
consin has so much live stock.
A HORSE has been imported into New Jer
sey from Belgium, which is said to weigh
2,368 lbs. an 4 tc be twenty hands high.

Sewing- Machines
WERE AWARDED THE
HIGHEST PREMIUMS
at. th State fntro of New York, New Jersey, Ver
mont, Pcnnsylvania,Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, lowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Ore
gon, California, at the fairs of the American In
stitute, Franklin Institute, Maryland Institute,
Massachusetts Mechanics' Association, Penn. Me
chanics' Institute, St. Louis Agricultural and Me
chanics' Associon, and at numerous Institute and
County fairs, includidg all the fairs at which ihev
were exhibited the past thiee years.
First prizes have also been awarded these Ma
chines at the exhibitions of London, Paris, Dub

And they have been furnished by special com
mand to the
Kinpress of France,
Kmprsss of Anntria,
Empress of Russia.
Empress of Brazil,
• Queen of Spain and
Queen of Bavaria.
The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing
Machines ore superior to all others for the follow
ing reasons :
1. They sew direct frem the spools, and require
no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and used,
and le.-s liable to derangement than other ma
chines.
3. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed .and ironed,
than any other stitoh
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is ii.wrought, is much the most
plump and beautifnl in use, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly .washed and ironed until they are worn out.
C>. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a
few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel,
but remains firm and durable.
7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation.
8. With these machines, while silk is used upon
the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be
used upon tho other side without lessening the
strength or durability of the seam. This can be
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched or made up with silk.
Tbese machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of
adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
