Wi ENCE THE IMPROVE ME M l N
PAUMINO.
TIMOTHY TITCOMR, in his Rural Life, says:
''The improvements made in farming and
farming implements have not been made by
farmers themselves, but by outsiders, —me-
chanics and men of science, —who have mar
veled at the brainless etupidity which toiled
on in its old track of unreasoning routine,
and looked with suspicion and discourage
ment upon innovations. The reason why the
farmer has not been foremost in improving
the instruments and methods of his own busi*
ness is, that Lis mind has been unfitted for
improvement by the excessive labors of his
body. A man whose vital energy is directed
to the support of muscle, has, of course, none
to direct to the support of thought. A man
whose strength is habitually exhausted by
labor, becomes, at length, incapable of men
tal exertion; and I cannot help feeling that
half the farmers in the country establish in
superable obstacles to their own improvement
by their excessive toil. They are nothing
more than the living machines of a calling
which so far exhausts tbeir vitality that they
have neither disposition nor power to improve
either themselves or their calling. * * *
There is no doubt about the fact that a life
whose sole energies are expended in hard,
bodily labor, is such a life as God never in
tended man should live.
"I am perfectly aware that I ain not re
vealing pleasant truths. We are much :n the
habit of glorifying rural life, and praising the
intelligence and virtue of rural populations;
and if they believe us, they cannot receive
this with pleasure. But the question which
most interests them is not whether these
statements are true. Is the philosophy sound?
Does a severe and constant tax on the mus
cular system repress mental development,
and tend to make life hard and homely and
unattractive? Is not the American farmer,
generally, a man who has sacrificed a free
and full mental development, and all his
finer sensibilties and affections, and a gener
ous and genial family and social life, and the
dignities and tastefuf proprieties of a well-ap
pointed home, to the support of his muscles?
There are instances of a better life than this
among farmers, and I should not have writ
ien this if those instances had not proved that
this everlasting devotion fo labor is unneces
sary. There are farmers who prosper in
their calling and do not become stolid—whose
homes are the abode of refinement, whose
watchword is improvement, and whose aim
is to elevate their calling. If there is a man
on the earth whom I honestly honor it is a
farmer who has broken away from his slavery
to labor, and applied his mind to his soil.
"Mind must be the emancipator of the
farmer. Science, intelligence, machinery,—
these must liberate the bondman of the soil
from his long slavery. When I look hack
and see what has been done for farming with
in my brief memory, I am full of hope for the
future. The plow, under the hand of science,
has become a new instrument. The horse
now hoes the corn, mows the grass, rakes the
hay, reaps, threshes and winnows the wheat;
and every year adds new machinery to the
farmer's stock, to supersede the clumsy im
plements which once hound him to his hard
and never-endiDg toil. When a farmer be
gins to use machinery and to study the pro
cesses of other men, and to apply his mind
to farming so far as ho can make it take the
place of muscle, then he illuminates his call
ing with a new light, and lifts himself into
the dignity of a man."
WINTER WORK ON THE FARM.
We often hear farmers say: "It soon will
be winter, and then we shall have nothing to
do." This is a great mistake. It has be
come a trite and true saying, that there is al
ways something to be done on a farm. It is
so. A true farmer never need be unemploy
ed unnecessarily. To be sure, the more con
fined and heavy manual labor must be per
formed during the other three seasons, but
winter brings its share of duties, which will
require constant attendance from the farmer
whose motto is progression.
The winter days being short, the proper
care of his stock will occupy a goodiy portion
of it; and here let me remark, tlnrt nothing
pays better than good ca:e of animals during
the months they are confined to the yard and
stables. Another item of winter work which
should always he performed, is the cutting,
hauling and piling of a year's fuel. The
workshop will take a large share of tho time,
for we assume that every farmer is, or ought
to be, mechanic enough to repair his tools,
carriages, &c., and make the more common
kind. There will he much of this sort of
work to attend to in preparing everything for
tho more active duties of the coming season.
Here let me remark that farmers should al
ways have seasoned lumber on hand suitable
for repairs, and the construction of such arti
cles as they would be likely to need. An"
other and great branch of labor
which must be attended to at this
season of the year is planning—brain labor.
Every farmer should have a rough draft of
his farm on paper—he has it in his head—to
which he can refer, and on which he can
make such alterations and additions as he
sees fit, to be carried into operation in due
season. In this planning business he will
find ample work for the long evenings and
unoccupied hours. And lastly the winter
season is the time for reading, study, and re.
plenishing and refreshing his mind for more
active duties. He must be a "book farmer,"
to some extent, else he will fall behind the
times. In all of these labors and duties, and
the cultivation of those neighborly, social
qualities, for which the season is peculiarly
appropriate, no farmer need lack of finding
enough to do and profit by.
ENCOURAGITTHE ROYS.
It is always best for hoys and young men to
have something to do for which they will feel
an important responsibility. Parents should
not assume all the responsibility in all the
operations of the farm. Let hoys be instruc
ted to think and act, to a certain extent, for
themselves. The Working Fanner says on
this subject: "An old gentleman who had a
large family of sons successfully engaged in u
great variety of occupations, was asked,
"How did you choose so correctly for all your
boys?" and answered, "I did not choose at
all but gave them books on various kinds of
business, took them to furnaces, shops, facto
ries, etc., and accustomed them to think and
determine for themselves. When they werc
quite small, I gave them each a little plot of
ground to be managed exclusively by himself,
and as they grew older, I gave them chickens,
pigs, lambs, etc." If boys do not become
interested in taking charge of these things it
is a pretty safe conclusion that they are not
"cut out for farmers.''

A WIDOW lately received a present of a tur

"Ah. I can guess," said the lady. "Be

told Deacon Grant."
"I bequeath," said an Irishman, in his
will, "to my beloved wife all my property
without reserve, and to my eldest son, Pat

left it may go to Terrance. McCarty."
A STORY' is told of Stewart, the dry goods
millionare, that knowing a certain article was
rising, he sent to a Boston merchant to buy
up everything of the kind at the hub. He
overlooked the putting up of his own prices,
however, to correspond to the rise; the Bos
tonian found it out., and bought half of Stew
art's own stock at two cents a yard less than
market rates, before the merchant prince
found it out. Stewart had to buy his own
goods at an advance.
A NEIGHBORING cotemporary says:
"Marriage and death notices are published
free, though it is usually the custom to ac
company the former with a dollar, either
gold or greenback, or with a pound cake, or
at least to allow the printer-man to kiss the
bride." It wouldn't be difficult to tell which
alternative the "printer-man" prefers.

his study, sat down, and added:

KISSING A QCAKERBSS. —The late Mr. Bush
used to tell this story of a brother barrister:
As the coach was about starting before break
fast, the modest limb of the law approached
the land-lady, a pretty Quakeress, who was
near the fire, and said he could not think of
going without giving her a kiss.
"Friend," said she, "thee must not do it."
"Oh, by heavens, I will!" replied the bar
rister.
"Well, friend, as thou, hast sworn, thee
may do it, but thee must not make a practice
of it.?'
RENTING A HOUSE. —"You have no chil
dren, inadain," said the particular proprietor
of a quiet house, before renting a lady the
best apartments. "They are in the cemet
ery," was the gloomy reply. A tear was at
tempted on the part of the landlord, the
agreement was signed, and the next day the
lady arrived with a couple of youngsters. "I
thought your children were in the cemetery,"
said the landlord. "So they were yesterday,"
was the reply, "placing a few flowers on the
grave of our former landlord, who was ner
vous, and to tell tin- truth, so irritable that—"
"I understand, madam—l understand," said
the enraged owner." "your children killed
him."
