Is there not considerable of laziness in this rush to the city of farmer s song ?

Y. Evening Gazette. "Villi HOMESTEAD. Do not break the horse's wind by hauling the manure over too great a breadth of land, nor kill yourself and boys in undertaking to get over the same. Apply the dressing to a less quantity of land, and get more crops as the result, and with less labor lor man and beast. When the writer was a boy his father used to plant from eighieeen to twenty five acres of corn, broom-corn and potatoes an nually, manuring at the rate of from five to seven loads to the acre, averaging perhaps twenty bushels. And it was worth then, from fifty to sixty-seven cents per bushel. I ; have since, on some of the -ame farms ; r dnced a crop of corn, upon which a premium was awarded me. of over one hundred bush els to the acre, and it is worth $1 per bushel. But in order to do it I heeded the injunctions given Bbove and was careful ot my horse's wind. And after that crop was removed, ar:d the land seeded down, which was done with winter wheat, producing nearly twenty-seven bushels to the acre, the land produced good heavy crops of number cue hay. Now which is the most profitable course to pursue, t vs.: to cultivate three acres well and get more crops, or run over twenty acres or more, for au inferior crop. To work like the d— your self all summer, to get the hoeing done, and keep the boys on the jump all the time, or take the things a little more coolly ? You : may make yonr own answer. Will ir spoil 1 that piece of land to lie withont cropping for the year? Will it not really recuperate by resting a little ? Think of it. before you ven ture to tnkeuptoo muchland, andcontrire 100 much work for the boys. If the grass is run jug out turn it over, after haying, manure and rc-seed. — New England Homestead. As ASCIXST POST. —I have noticed a nam ber of articles in the Country Gentleman about the durability of posts, and enclose a small portion of one that has stood, without : paint or sheltpr, a< a monument marking one ofthe corners of "Sharon," for 111 years. , It is of red cedar, and stands in black, peaty. ' meadow soil, top upwards, as it grew in the tree. It is about four feet in height aliove the surface of the grourd, and was probably origionallr five or i-ix inches iu size, but has been somewhat reduced by the wear of the elements—not by decay, as a scrnteh withthe finger-nail will show the sound wood as firm as when placed there. The top is cut to shed the rain like a pitched roof, and, although sound, is much battered. At the surface, of the ground it is more worn, bnt not decayed —in lact, the old sentinel stands firm on its feet, and looks if it might dodnty for 100 years more. From appearances, thi* post has been cat from a tree not much large) in diameter than its size, and probably from the top, as it shows several limbs. That it. was placed in the present position in 1740 I have positive evidence. — Barclay White, Sharon, near Johnstown, .V. J., in Country Gentleman. WHAT CAN WE DO IN JANUARY.—Thirty or forty years ago there was little work done up on the farm or in the garden in January, ex cept in the neighborhood of large cities, with the dairy. A great deal of time was spent in sleighing frolics, sitting behind the stove the most of the day, or what was worse, visiting country bar-rooms. Among our farmers now who understand their business thoroughly there is not much of thio indulged in. A far mer who is at this day a frequent visitor to bar-rooms would not be much respected, at least his business would not be considered well managed and his credit -would not be good. The capable farmer now finds always something profitable to do about bis premises. He is never idle except now and then an odd day when the inclemency of the weather in terposes. His tools, implements, harness, carts, wagons, cribs, or buildings, with the cattle and marketing or disposal of his crops, as well as pruning in orchards and gardens, employ all his time. And it is well that it is so, for there is nothing that so much unfits a man for b:s business as a season of prolong ed idleness.— Germanlown Telegraph.
