INVESTING IN* THE FAKM.
Leonard D. Clift. of uainiel. Putnam ( ..
i.in- of the beet farmers New V <>rk has ever
produced, was wont to say of his own course
in life : "I have pursued a different policy
from farmers generally. Some of them have
skinned their farms, brought up their chil
dren iu ignorance, given little or nothing in
charity, and have reached old age with bar
ren farms, uncultured children, and narrow
views of life, butthey have couth in hunk-1
On the contrary, my surplus earnings have
gone to enrich my farm, until it is capable of
yielding an abundant support : my children
have been educated, and now occupy respect
able positions in society. 1 have felt it a
privilege to give in charity : my table has
been bountifully supplied, and my house open
to tne stranger. All this I have, hut not
money in the bank : and 1 am satisfied with
my choice."
He went to his rest on the fitli of Septem
ber last, at the ago of 78—patriot, sage, coun
sellor and friend, lea. lag his beautiful home
stead atid bis good works as his fitting monu
ment. This farm was the work of his life
time, and we wish to commend to our read
ers that sound policy which made h : v one of
the model farms of the Empire State. It
♦ ••ok the premium in 1855 as one of the beat
grazing farms, and the report of the Visiting
'iimmittec may be found in the transactions
of the State Agricultural Society for that
▼ear.
He reprobated that policy of skiuning the
soil which, we are sorry to say, has been the
prevailing style of husbandry ever, in the
North and East, and which is still the worst
feature of farming all over the country. Men
have no faith in the capacity of the soil to
reward them for the labor sad money they
expend upon it. They get a good crop of
grain or roots from the land, and instead of
investing the proceeds in more manure, more
improvements or more stock, tbey invest in
more land or more bank stock. Many a man
has pursued this course with his farm until
its fertility has been almost exhausted. He
has transferred all its fatness to the bank,
and it will not now sustain ten animalsso well
as it would fifty, fifty years ago. He may
have grown rich iu money by the process, but
his farm is ruined. Go through the older
farming districts of any of our seaboard
States, and we doubt if the majority of the
farms will cany the stock tbey grazed and
fattened two generations back. They have
lost so much in fertility thai not even the
improved tools and husbandry of the pres
ent day can make them pay so well as tbey
did then.
The Cannei farmer had faith iu his bust"
ness. and felt that his surplus earnings were
safer and better invested iu the soil, under
his own management, tha-.i in the hank under
the management of otheis. He literally east
his bread not only .upon the land, but upon
the waters of his farm, not doubting that it
would return again.
He put mouey into <iaue- and sluice ways :
and the brook that had run to waste fin* ages
was turned over his meadows, and set every
blade of grass it fertilized to coining money
for him. He demonstrated that Irrigation
alone would keep up the fertility of meadows,
improving the quality and increasing the
quantity of the grass. He gave us one of
the best conducted experiments in irrigation
—worth millions to the Slate, if his example
were only faithfully followed. The stream
that was barreu to others became a Pactolus
for him, flowiug over sands of gold. He had
faith iu drains, and the rough land wa3 clear
ed of its stones, and sluice ways for the pas
sage of water were formed beneath the sur
face, making the drained field of four fold
value for all its future history. He believed
iu improved stock and invested largely in it,
both for milk and beef. He expected to get
more milk and more beef from a given num
ber of cattle, from the fact that they had
been bred respectively for those qualities :
and be succeeded in his object. He had faith
in home-made manures, and worked his muck
mines, and turned the stable, stye and barn
yard to good account. He brought up a rough
farm, worth less than five thousand, to a val
uation of fifty thousand. He claimed that it
would pay the interest on that, well manag
ed : and that perhaps is the best test of va.l
ue.
We believe this coarse- investing in the
tariu rather than in the bank —is belter both
for the farmer and for society It is certain
ly much safer: for banks fail much more fre
quently than weil managed farms. Ihe divi
dends of the latter never fail entirely. The
good, substantial living, atid the comfortable
home are always secure. It makes better so-
ciety, farming becomes an improving aud im
provable art, and intelligence is as much a
growth of the pursuit as farm products are of
the soil. It puts the farmer's capital into his
business, where he needs it. and where he
can manage it himself. He ventures every
thing upon his business, lives wholly by it
while he lives, and at death hands over a cul
tivated homestead and a living business to his
heirs. This policy glorifies husbandry and
hastens the Agricultural Millennium. We
look with longing for the dawn of thai day.—
American Agriculturist.
Jistf Extreme views and practices art- held
and followed with small profit to any one, and
least of all to him who suddenly adepts them.
However at variance any man's system of
farming is with .sound philosophy, if he has
hitherto met with any sort of snceess. and is
not absolutely running backward, we would
surely not advise him to cast loose front his
moorings and adopt all new practices, to ac
cord with the views of a sounder agricultural
faith, to which he may have become a con
vert. liashness is the usual precursor of
failure, but progressive conservatism uniform
ly leads to success. Deep plowing i.-: an ex
cellent practice, but only when there is a soil
to plow. He who lifts several inches of un
tempered subsoil aud mingles it with a -hal
low surface soil, will repent his deed when
the sickly, yellow grain testifies to the poison
presented to the plants with their food, or to
the difficulty they have in picking up a living
among the mass of rubbish. In the spring,
especially, the soil should not be plowed much
deeper than heretofore. In the autnmn the
plow may very well be put down quite deep
ly, provided there is enough plant food in the
Boil, or added to it, to warrant it; for the
freezing and thawing of winter, and the action
of the atmosphere will essentially modify its
character. These influences are wanting at
this season, and deeper plowing than usual
must either be accompanied with thorough
liming or the use of unleacbed ashes, or very
heavy manuring ; and even then it is not to ba
recommended for small grains. It is well,
however, at every plowing to run the plow a j
little deeper than before ; and if the soil is
neither water soaked nor leachy, even quite
shallow subsoiling will prove of great benefit.
We advocate most earnestly deepening of the
soil, but not rashly, nor too much in spring
plowing.
The failures of certain crops year after year
udnn-iiiah us not to put our trust too much in
an,- single staple. Influences, which are in
jui ion-, to one class of crops, benefit others,
and so. indioiou&ly dividing our interests, we
are surer of success.
Double cropping of the loud is one of lb"
essential features of "high'" or "intensive"
farming. It is equivalent to getting doable in
terest for the money invested in the land, and
in the labor of weeding and clearing the same,
and for the buildings, fences, roads and super
intendence of the farm, it gives quicker re
turn- ior the investment in manure, and in all
poiuts is s< great gain. It requires that the
land should be rich and in good tilth, reason
abk free from weeds, and that there should
bo a proper rotation of crops followed, and
labor enough at command. It affords also a
mentis of profitably employing many hands
the season through, for whom there would
otherwise be little to do most of the time.
The practice should be commenced in the gar
den and extended to the field, when familiar
ity has given confidence in it.
We entreat farmers not to neglect their gar
dens. Many are too apt to read the hints
about farm work and slight the other columns.

rewards labor than any portion of the farm of

MOST people's plan of life is good, but
there is something wrong in its specifications.
Wn\ is a selfish friend like the letter P?—
Because though the first in pity, he is the
last iu help.
Some oue says of a certain congregation
that they pray on their knees on Sundays,
and on their neighbors the rest of the week.
•*Ouk organ," said Setb, "the organ of our
meeting-house, imitated thunder so natural
one Sunday, that it curdled all the milk for
five miles round."'
A oKNTi.t.wxx who had built a small house
in a sequestered part of his grounds for pri
van study, showed it to a friend, remarking,
"Here I sit reading from morning till night,
and nobody a bit the wiser."
•-1 ,-av. Pat, if I place my money in the
bunk to-day, when can I draw it out again?"
"Oh." responded Pat, "sure an' if you pntit
in to-day you can get it out to-morrow by giv
ing a fortnight's notice."
-Hoi: you seen my black-faced antelope?"
inquired Mr. I.ewcode, who has a collection
of animals, to his friend.
"No. I havn't. Whom did your black
faced aunt elope with?"
Won an is like ivy,—the more you are ruiu
ed. the closer she clings to yon. A vile bach
elor adds. "Ivy is like woman, —the more it
clings to you, the more you are ruined."
Poor rule that won't work both ways.
Ax liiisu gentleman called on an eminent
singing master to inquire his terms: the mas
ter said thiit he charged two guineas for the
Jirst lesson, but only one for as many as he
pleased afterwards. "Oh, bother the ,first
lesson, ' said the applicant, "let u3 commence
at the secortd!"
Ax old Scotch iady had an evening party,
where a young man was present who was
about to leave for an appointment in China.
As he wax exceedingly extravagant in his
conversation about himseif, the old lady said,
when he was leaving, "Take gud careo' your
self when ye're aws; for mind ye, they eat
puppies in China!"
IT being reported that Lady Caroline Lamb
had in a moment of passion, knocked down
one of her pages with a stool, the poet Moore,
to-whom this story was toid by Lord Strang
ford. observed, Ob, nothing is more natural
for a literary lady than to double down a
page.'" "I would rather," replied his lord
ship, ••advise l-mdy Caroline to turnover a
new leaf."
AN irishman bad been sick for a long time,
and while in this state would occasionly cease
breathing, aud life be apparently extinct for
some time, when he would again rivive. On
one of these occasions, when he had just
awakened from his sleep, Patrick asked him:
••Ah, how shall we know, Jemmy, when
you're dead ? You're afther wakin'up ivery
time."
"Bring me a glass o' grog," he replied
"and say to ine, 'Here's to ye, Jemmy,' an'
if I don't rise up and dhrink, then bury me."
A TANTIIIM minister met Mr. Emmons one
day, and abruptly asked, "Mr. Emmons, how
old are you ?"
"As old as the creation," was the answer
iu triumphant tone.
"Then you are the same age with Adam
Km?"
"Certainly, 1 was in the garden when tbey
were."
"I have always heard that there was a third
person in the garden with them," replied the
doctor with great coolness "but I never knew
before that it was yon."
UHK HIM AS YOU WAST HIM.—A man in
an ale house at a late hour, saw a fellow
drunk on an opposite bench.
"Do you wish to get rid of this sot?" he
asked.
"Yes," answered the landlord, "and a half
crown shall speak my thanks."
"Agreed," said the other. "(let uie a
sack."
A sack was produced, and the drunkard
bundled into it. Away trudged the man to
the residence of a noted anatomist, at whose
door he knocked.
"Who's there?" said a voice from within.
"1 have brought you a subject," said the
man; "so come quick; bring me my fee."
He was immediately admitted, the guinea
paid, and the sack, with its contents, deposit
ed in the surgery. Scarcely had he got out,
when the drunken man awoke. The surgeon,
enraged at being thus outwitted, ran out and
overtook the fellow, aud collared liim, eryiug,
"Why, you dog, the men's alive!"
"So much the better," said he. "You
can kilt him when you want him!"
