£ axm, &at r & o ujscli ol l walks ami talks on the farm. A lady met me in the city yesterday and :old me she had just seen the Deacon, and that he said 1 "was going to make farmiflf pay." Good for the Deacon ! 1 believe he sincerely vSkhea me success —and that. I f**ar ik more than I can soy for all my neighbors. They are all very nice people too. If 1 was **' trouble., they would give ne their aid and sympathy.- F'want to borrow, they lend freely— and tbaf is a pretty severe test of neighborly feeling, especially whan yu are not very prompt in returning the articles. I have had many evidences of theif Si**db6ss. But they don't think I shall succeed as * 'r mer —and possibly they don't want me to. Why ? Will it hurt them? 'lf I was a spec ulator and should buy their barley at a dollar, and sell it again in two or three months for a dollar and a half, what I made thev would lose. But if I should succeed in renovating my farm and should double tny crops, would they be any the poorer ? The greal objection to my farming is, that I "spend too much monoy for hdrrd help.' But I cannot get along with less. Afrd J find the best farmers expend the most money for Jal/of, "J have always kept a great many then," said John Johnston, "but I was always with them and kept them at work. That is the point. If the labor is well directed, and is judiciously employed —if the farmer plans his work sO that there shall lie no loss oftime, he can better afford to hire extra help, than to let teams lie idle. We cannot farm now as when the country was new. If we attempt it, ns many do, poor Crops and rrtn down farms will be the result. We must expend more labor soil more capi tal. We must cultivate our land bette¥, feed higher, make richer manure, and see that it docs not run to waste. lam fatting over filly hogs. "It would pay you." said a good old fashioned farmer in the neighborhood, "to let a man devote his whole time to feeding them." No doubt about that; bnt you say I keep too many men already. My horse barn is separate from the other buildings. The litter is thrown out into a loose heap, and if suffered to remain so, soon heats, and be comes fire fanged. I draw it with a oae-horse cart into the: barn yard, and the pigs work it over and make it into the richest kind of ma nure. But this takes labor. I clean out the pig-pen every day, and give fresh litter. But this, too, tabes labor. One of my neigh bors s&ys, 1 wash my pigs with warm water and castilc soap. This is one of his jokes. But I do try to have the pigs and the pens washed occasionally, by throwing water on to them with an aquarius. The pigs evidently enjoy it, and thrive better ; but this too takes labor. lam drawing the potato tops into the barn yard for the stock to tread into manure. It will pay twice over, but it takes time. The diseased potatoes I steam up for the hogs, and mix some corn and barley meal with them while hot, mashing up the potatoes. It makes splendid food, and is the best way to use potatoes partially decayed. But the sort ing out the decayed ones, washing them and steaming and mashing with meal, involves considerable work. It wonld be much easier to have a pen of rails on the ground, to throw all ears of corn into the mud, and let the pigs do their own shelling, grinding, and cooking. I know more than one of my critics that adopt this "system," and of course, they do not hire much extra help. To farm properly, we need capital and la bor. The latter we are now getting at fair rates, as compared with the price of living. And the thousands of stalwart emigrants that arrive every month need work, and farmers, at present prices of produce, can afford to employ them. I have a Prussian working for me that came over a month or two ago. He cannot speak English, but when you show him what to do, he will do it faithfully and well. He is a right, good man, and I should not object to see all our shipping engaged in bringing such men by thousands to our shores. We have land enough and work enough. But we need more capital and a lower rate of interest. And snrely those men are to be honored who, having large capital. (I could wish I was one of them.) go on to a farm and employ it in developing the resour ces of the soil. There arc hundreds of such men, and the number is rapidly increasing. Their influence and example must tend to the improvement of our general 3ystem of Agri culture—Am. Agriculturist. YOUNG TREES IN WINTER. Many persons seem to think that when they have set ont fruit trees, they have done their part, and if the trees do not flourish, the blame is laid to the nurserymen, or they con clude that their land is not suited to fruit. Besides neglect, trees have active enemies, both biped and quadruped. A good fence, gates securely fastened, is a great protection against the larger animals, no matter whether they have two or four legs. If one has trees in grounds usually approached by a curved patb, they stand a poor chance when snow is on the ground. There are certain heathens who will strike o bee lino witb their sleighs and sleds from the gate to the house, and if there are any yonng trees in the way, so much the worse for the trees. We once suffer- Ed very severely in this way, and when remon- j •trance was made, all the satisfaction we got was the isformntion that there were no roads when snow covered the ground. We know of no way of dealing efficiently with these two legged brutes but there are some small four legged ones that need looking after, and whose depredations can be warded off. Mice are often troublesome in a young orchard. If clean culture has not been followed, it is not too late to remove all dead weeds and other rubbish that can harbor mice. Tbe lit tle fellows like to work under cover, and the remains of weeds and grass afford them con venient shelter. They have a grand time un der newly fallen snow, and it is well to head them off by tramping the snow firmly around the trees. Among the various preventives of the attacks of rabbits, none are perhaps more easily applied, or more efficacious than that proposed by Doct. Warder, at one of our pomological meetings. The rabbit is rather fastidious as to ite food, and has a great dis like to animal matters. Indeed it was long ago recommended to shoot a rabbit, split it open, aud rub the tree with its body, as a warning to ite fellows. Doct. Warder's plan is to spatter the tree with blood. Blood is readily obtained wherever slaughtering is done, and with a vessel of this and a swab made of oorn husks tied to a stick, one can bespatter a young orchard in. a short time. ~>oct W. states that a single application suffi f fWhole winter, ~~Am.

"Now children-," asked a school inspector, "who loves all rife A?" A little girl, not four years old, and evidently not posted in the catechism, answered ffnickly. "All women!" Ax Indian out West was heard to make the following exclamation, on seeing one of our fashionable (hooped) ladies : - "Tgh 1 much wigwam." A clerk in a mercantile establishment writes to a friend at home : I have a nice time of it now-a-days, very little work to do —our firm don't advertise." A YOUNG gentleman who had just married a little undersized beauty says she would have been taller, but she is made of such pre cious materials that nature could not afford it. "Were you guarded in your conduct while in New sork ?" said a father to his son, who had just returned home from his visit to the city. "Yes si?, part of the time by two policemen." Ora young friend, J, i)., was asked by a young lady who had been Haacitig the "tier man," whether he saw her feet ? "No, mad am," he said with a solemn shake- of the head "far from it!"

Major X. upon being asked ifhe was seri ously hurt on the bursting of a boiler on a steamboat, replied that he was not, as he had been blown up so many times by his wife, that a mere steamboat explosion had no effect up on him whatever. A MILWAUKEE young lady had her "cap set'' for a "rather large feller," but failed to win him, when a confidant tried to comfort her with the words; "Never mind, Mollie, here is as good fish in the sea as ever was caught." "Mollie knows that," replied'her little brother, "but shewants a whale." A GENTLEMAN, speaking of the happiness of the married state before bis daughter, dis paragingly said ; "She who marries does well ; but she who does not marry, does better." "Well then," said theyoung lady, "1 will do well ; let those who choose do better." A QUAINT old Methodrst preacher of'l'exas, years ago, used to announce his text thus: "You will find my text in the eighth chap ter of Isaiah, ninth verse. And ef you don't find it thar, you will find it, cf you hunt the Book through from Gennessis to Revelations; and ef yon domtfind it then, you will find a great many things which will do you a power of good." AN amusing story is told of a cunning ex hibitor at a recent agricultural tair in Con necticut, who divided a bushel of peaches and entered one-half in his own name for compe tition, and the other in the name of an influ ential man in a neighboring town. The big man got the prize, and the other contribution although off the same tree, was not mention ed.
