WALKS AND TALKS ON THE FARM. The time has arrived iu our agriculture, however, when we must beslow more care and labor, in feeding stock, and enriching our laud. 1 think farmers are becoming con vinced of this. High prices are a great in centive to improvement. We can all see that if our farms were in condition, we would make money. I was on a farm, the other day, where the wheat crop went 1571 bushels per acre, and being very clean and nice, was all Bold to the neighbors for seed, at $2. 7-J per bushel. Most of us, en land naturally juat as good, only raise 15 bushels per acre, and that cot of the best quality. In a ride of some twenty-five miles, through two ot the beat towns in this county, in search of wine good seed wheat, this was the only wheat I fouftd that was clean! It may be that I did not happen to fall in with the right men. One farmer, who has always been noted for careful culture, and who, 1 was told, would have clean seed if it was to be found, had wheat no better than my own. " I have had such dirty wheat," he said, and 1 do not doubt it, for, on going to the barn, where he had been cleaning some thirty or forty bushels for seod, there were lying on the floor five or six bush els of stricken grains and foul stuff that had been cleaned out. This was on one of the best wheat farms iu the State. U nfortuiiute ly such cases are not rare. Where one farm has improved during the past five years, ten have run down. Uncertainty in regard to future prices, and the scarcity and ineffic-incy of laborers are among the chief causes of this deplorable stale of affairs. I did not see dur ing the whole ride a single clean />iece of corn. Most of the corn was cut up, and in every case the rows could be traced by weeds run ning to seed, and not unfrequently the whole land was covered with weeds from six inches to three feet in heighL Iu a dry season, like the present, it is not easy to understand how land could get so foul, where even nothing more than ordinary cultivation is employed. Next spring, this land will be sown with bar ley, followed by wheat in the fall. Is it to be wondered at that clean wheat is so scarce ? Many farmers plow their laud twice for wheat after the barley is off, attd harrow, roll, and cultivate their land very nicely, in order to get it clean and mellow. But this does com paratively little good. The time to clean land for wheat is while it is iu corn. If it cannot be made throughly clean with one corn crop ( plant it two years in succession, and cultivate it every week or ten days from the time the rows can be traced till the corn is set. You will then have clean wheat. There are two objects in working laud. First, to kill weeds, and second, to enrich it by promoting decomposition, and rendering it capable of absorbing ammonia from the at mosphere. These chemical changes require time. If you have two heaps of manure piled up last spring, and one heap has been turned over three times during four or five months, and the other has not been turned at all. the one would be well rotted, and in fine condi tion to put on the land, while the-otber would most likely be lumpy, with some parts heated too much, and others not fermented at all. Now then, if you should make a spasmodic effort to get this last heap into good condition, and should turn it over a few days before you wished to use it, three times or even six times do you suppose the heap would be as fine, and as well rotted, and as rich as the other? So far as enriching the land is concerned, stir ring it over three or four times in as many days, does comparatively little good. Such treatment may be necessary to get the land ready for the seed, but by doing the work all at oue time, you lose one of the chief advant ages of working the land. It should be under stood that decomposition or oxidation in the soil or in a manure heap is a kind of slow combustion. Now, any good housewife who bakes in an old-fashioned brick oven proceeds in strict accordance with scientific principles. She turns the fire from one side in the oven to the other, and thus exposes the black embers to the air, and when they are all aglow, she exposes another portion. If she should neglect to do this till the bread was all ready, and then should knock the fire back and forth halfadozeti times in as many minutes, she would exhibit no more sense than her husband, who is, with plows, harrows, and cultivators, trying to get his land ready for wheat in a hurry. In heating the oven, the fire heats the opposite side from that on which the wood is placed, and so in the field the effect of working the land is not felt whol ly on the first crop, but on those which fol low. Cultivating corn bent fits the crop. This is not all: its effects will be felt for two or three years. The Doctor says, he " never knew a man to sell his farm who did not regret it." This is perhapß stating it a little too strong. But being one of the oldest pastors in West ern New York, he has had good opportunities ior observation. I think men engaged in other pursuits, who buy farms, expecting to find nothing but pleasure and profit in agricu!turc> are generally very glad of an opportunity to dispose of them. Such men seldom regret selling. But with a farmer the case is very different. He either sells because-he thinks he can buy a better or cheaper farm, or be cause he ia tired of farming, and proposes to live in the city. In the latter case he is al most certain to wish himself back again cn the farm. I heard of such a case the other day. A farmer was offered last spring what he thought a high price for his farm, and ac cepted the offer, thinking he could live com fortably in the city on the interest of the mo ney. After trying it six or eight months, he offered the purchaser SIOOO to let him have the farm back again, 'giving him the summer crops and all the wheat into the bargain. A farmer who sells expecting to buy another farm, finds it not so easy to suit himself as he expected. If you must sell the better plan is to know beforehand where' you are going. American Agriculturist. Staorw. ROWLAND BILL, once at Wot ton, was preaching in the afternoon, the only time when it seemed possible to be drowsy under him. He saw some sleeping, and passed, saying : " I have heard that the miller can sleep while the mill ig going, but if it stops it wakes him ; I'll try this method." And so he sat down, and soon saw an aroused audience. SMIKES is down on false teeth for old peo pie. He thinks they eat much food that be longs to the younger generation, and it keeps provisions high. A WITKKBB in a late divorce suit kept say ing that the wife had a very retaliating die position —that she " retaliated for every little thing." '• Did yon ever see her husband kiss her?" asked the wife's couusel. " Yea, sir, often." " Well, what did she do on such oc casions?" "She always retaliated, air." (Great laughter, and wife triumphant.) " I SAW a lady wrapped up in a shawl that she would not take six hundred dollars for," said Smith to .'ones." "I can beat that all hollow," retorted Jones ; " for I saw a lady so wrapped up in her baby that she wouldn't have taken six hundrpd thousand dollars for it." A PROVISOS boy, five years of age, having stolen a can of milk, his mother took him to task, with moral suasion, and wound up her discourse by exclaiming : "What in theworld were you going to do with the milk anyhow?" " I was going to steal a little dog to driuk it, was the crashing reply. A UANDSOMB young widow applied tfl A physician to deliver her of three distressing complaints, '• In the first place, said she, "I have little or no appetite ; what shall I take for that ?" •' Air and exercise, madam." " And, Doctor, 1 am quite fidgety at uight time, and afraid to be abed alone ; what shall I take for that?" " A husband, tuadam." "Fie! Doctor. But I have the blues ter ribly ; what shall 1 take for that ?" "Take a newspaper, madam," replied the Doctor. * A WAO entered a grocer's shop some years ago, which had for its sign " The Two Ba boons," and, addressing himself to the pro prietor, said, " I wish to see your partner." " I have no partner, sir." " I beg your pardon, sir, and hope you will excuse the mistake." "O, there's no harm done ; but what made you think there were two of us?" "Your sign," he replied, "'The Two Ba boons.' " CORRECT OLD LADY.—" When I goes a shoppin'." said an old lady, " I allers ask for what I wants, and if they have it, and it's suitable, and I feel inclined to buy it, and it's cheap, and can't be got for less, I most allers takes it without cbapperirg about it all day, as some people do." A GENTLEMAN, giving a lecture to some boys was explaining how no one could live without air. lie then said, " You have all heard of a man drowning—how does that happen ?" The ready answer was, " cause he can't swim." AN AINT-ICUMA-X. Husband — " Well, Mary, your aunt Tabitha's gone at last, poor soul."—Wife —" Poor thing ; of course you'll go to the funeral, George, as a mark of re spect, besides, the rcarf and hat-band will make up for baby." BABBI Joshua once met a boy who carried something in a covered vessel. "My boy," said the Rabbi, " what have you in your cov ered vessel ?" "If it was intended for you to know." replied the boy, "it would not be covered." A CORRESPONDENT writes to a.-.k if the brow of a hill ever becomes wrinkled ? The only information we can give him on that point is, that we have often seen it furrowed. JOXE by a gentleman recently from Nine veh : The greatest country in the world for ninnies is Africa. There you take your pick o' ninnies. THERE is an old Oxford story about a Uni versity official who had attended the Universi ty sermons for forty years, and who used to thank God that he remained a Christian still. WHEN Haddock's wife kicked him out of bed, said he, "I.ook here now! yon had bet ter not do that again ; if you do it will cause a coldness in the family." WHY wan Desdemona the most discontent ed of all women Y Because the moor she had the moor she wanted. CON. —Why was the whal that swallowed Jonah like a retired milcman?
