Tbe Mauuekuaetla IHvvghtnar. says: "tn der the bead of 'Does Farming Pay f a few weeks ago, we called attention to the adver tisement of Mr. Daren, of Woburn, stating that having acquired a competency by 1 arm ing, be desired to dispose of his farm. In that article we requested Mr. D. to give us some account of his mode of operations that we might lay before ocr readers. We are now happy to be able to present some com mon sense aod well considered remarks of his not only in regard to his own farming, but also in relation to farming in general, which tbink will be read with interest." We copy the most important parts of the commu nication: The surest, and most reliable and most im portant crop of the farm is the grass. Out of grass and nature's own crucibles come meat and milk, and cheese, tbe more enduring form of milk; boots, shoes, clothing, the very foundation of existence; and be who makes two spears grow where but one grew before is certainly a benefactor to the race, in his way. Within the last fifteen years I presume I have raised and sold from twelve to fifteen hundred dollars' worth of Swedish turnips, but question whether or not I am any richer for it. I think I could have raised as many dollars' worth of com and fodder, which would have returned manure to repeat the process; and turnips make heavy drafts upon land. I have also dabbled some in other sauce, bat found dabbling did not pay; first, it interferes with milk raising, taking invalua ble bay time; and, secondly, you are not apt to raise enough to get a good run of trade, and therefore tbe best price. Fruit and cide r I have sold considerable of, never I tbink mora than one hondfed' and fifty barrels of apples in one year. But when they are plenty they nett but little above expenses; half a crop generally pays as well as a full one, by bringing a better price. At best you get a erop only every second year; and if one fails, van have loat three yeara' use of yoor land, beside expenses, if you cultivate. So I put my orchard into {rrtsa some four years since and am as sure oft .ro crops yearly as tbe rain is to fall. Of course one would raise fruit and eauce enough for bis own family, or try, and would often have a little to sell. These ideas apply perhaps only to my personal taste or the peculiar soil on which I am situated, or more surely, it may be, to the proper milk raising distance from market. Nearer the ei'iee, where land is very precious, sauce and small fruits must be the only paying thing; aud farther into the country, where (and is cheap, stock, butter and cheese, frnit and grain, are the things, as being not so perishable, easily transported and plenty of land to draw from. Another consideration is, grass and milk are produced with much less labor than other kinds of farming, quite an item in these times. One man can very comfortably take care of fifteen or twenty head of cattle, spread the manure and plant three or four acre* of corn with only a few days help, ex cept during the bay season. Some of the time daring the war I had a man only three month* in the year, but wouldn't advise be ing too much akme. If you can get good company life is run on a higher plane. Jost ling each other it fruitful of ideas and vast'ty more pleasurable than whiskey; souls are made of them. I have had a light run of grape fever, but been pretty cautious not to devote too moch time and territory to them; planting them about walls, buildings, etc, to determine the kinds that succceed best and tbeir profit. Of swine, I used to keep quite a number ten or twelve years ago, but realized no profit except in manure, and of all that I know of having kept a strict account with them only one man made above expenses, seventy-five cents, throwing in the refuse of his table at that. Ido not care for them as food, not that I have any prejudice, or think we would be sharper than a Jew without them. I "could eat a raw rat if manners were in question," as well as Tboreau, I'm confident. I used to let cattle run over the mowing in the fall, have done with that as faras may be; cially are they injurious to moist and rne-dow land. Think of the pressure of four hundred pounds or more in the small space of an animal's hoof all over the ground. The soil can't aerate under that. I wonldn't have a hoof on meadow land if I could help it* I mow with scythe altogether. Now for the profit. I estimate the income from good cows at one hundred dollars apiece. This distance from market (ten miles), whole sale prices and sold at the door; nearly double that marketed and retailed yourself. Extra cows considerable more, from one hundred and tweDty-five to one hundred and fifty dollar* apiece. I have, and I could pick out many another soch, twenty-nine acre* lying near the bonse, six in pasture, three perhaps in wood and waste, and twenty acres left, on which, when it is all in condition, (some five acres not yet reclaimed), I affirm aod I think modestly, that I could cut sixty tons per year; one and one-half tons at each cropping, which should keep fifteen cows and a horse the year round, exceDt turning half a dozen dry ones into the country during the summer. Now isn't the way plain, modest, sure? For when grass in moist places fails, all else will have failed before it, and there is a famine. To be sure, there are operation* that tickle the fancy more; here it a man that haa sold eight hundred dollars worth of grapes from half an acre, or another that I heard of yester, day in ,tbat netted clear of all expenses, fourteen hundred dollar* from cucumbers and celery on tbreefourtbs of an acre, or you may pocket a hundred dollars on a liule patch of tnrnipt, cabbage* or sqnasbe*. Are we all, because of these stroke* of Inck or wisdom, to pull up stakes and devote all to celery and strawberries, or grapes and cabbage* ? No wisdom in that, or Suck. ABOUT APPLES. There is scarcely an article of vegetable food more widely usefol or more universally liked than the apple. Why every farmer has not tja apple orchard, where tbe trees will grow at all, is one of the mysteries. Let every housekeeper lay in a good supply of apples, and it will be the most economical in vestment in the whole range of culioaries. A raw mellow apple is digested in an hour and a half, wbiie boiled cabbages reqnire five hour*. The most healthful dessert that can be placed on the table i* a baked apple. If eaten frequently at breakfast, with coarse bread and butUr, without meat or fish of anr, kind, it ha* au admirable effect on the general system, often removing constipation, correct ing acidities: and cooling off febrile conditions mor# effectually than the moat approved medicine*. If families could be induced to substitute apples—sound aod ripe—for pies, cakes, and sweetmeats, with which their chil dren are too frequently stuffed, there would be a diminution in tba sum total of doctorsd bills in a single year sufficient to lay ir a stock of this delicious fruit for the whole season,s use. jlumoroitf. WHAT medicine does a foolish man take for a scolding wife ? He takes an elixir. IT is a miserable thing to live in suspense; it is the life of a spider. THE richer a man makes his food, the poorer he makes his appetite. When is a recruit supposed to be raw? Until he has been exposed to fire. WHT is a newspaper like a wife ! Because every man ought to have one of his own. "Soxxt, dear, you have a very dirty face. "Can't help it, marm, dad's a black repub lican." WHT wasn't Eve tried for eating the apple? Because there was no court ofappell-ate juris diction. No wonder that Westou is a good walker. It turns out that he used to be a collector for a newspaper.

'•I HAVE lost flesh," said a toper to his com panion. "No great loss," said the other, "eince you have made up in spirits. A printer in Texas, whose first son hap pened to be a very short, little fellow named him Brevier Fullfaced Jones. A person being asked why he had given his daughter in marriage to a man with whom he waa at enmity, answered "I did it out of pure revenge." A writer dwelling upon the importance ot small things, says that "he always lakes note even of a straw, eipecinlly if there happens to be a sherry cobler at one end of it. Ax editor never leaves any money at hosne for fear of fire, and never carries any with him for fear of robbers, nor deposits it in the bank for fear of speculating bank officers." Ahem!

An old lady who had never travelled in tbe cars, reaolved last year to visit Boston. She had no sooner alighted from the car than a man took bold of ber arm with the usual "Have a hack?" Looking bim full in the face she drawled out hesitatingly, "Wa al 1 dunno, be they good to eat?" Setex gamblers were about to be hnng, when one of them remarked sorrowfully, "Well, Jim; we've had our last -trump." "No," replied Jim; "one more, and that will be a game of seven up." "Well," remarked the" other, "there's one consolation, that game will hold out till the 'last trump' is played." The Kennebec Journal gives a conversa tion between two little girls, aged respectfully five and six. "Emma," said one of (hem, "wouldn't it be awful if somebody should shoot our school mistress ?" "Yes," was the reply, "but then wouldn't it be nice not to have any school?'' Ax irascible old gentleman, was taken with sneezing in tbe cars lately. After sneezing in the most spasmodic manner eight times, he arrested it for a moment, and extricating his handkerchief, thus addressed his nasal organ indignantly saying, "Ob, go on. goon—you'll blow yonr infernal brains out presently. For several weeks the Springfield, Leader kept tbe following conspicuously at the head of its local column: 'Boy wanted at this office.' A few days since, the editor's wife pre sented him with a boy,' which in a highly significant way,shows tbe value of advertising. "PA," said Charlie to his parentalancestor holding a Sunday School picture book,' What is that?' 'That my son, is Jacob wrestling with the angels.' 'And who was licked?' inquired the young hopeful. Ax exchange speaking of the magic strains of a band organ, says : "When he plays 'Old Dog Tray' we noticed eleven liule pups sitting on their haunches in front of the machine, brushing the tears Iron their eyes with their fore paws." Ax old bachelor who had become inelan cholly and poetical wrote some verses, for the village paper, in which he expressed tbe hope that the time would soon come when he should. "Rest calm within a shroud, With a weeping willow by my side." but to bis inexpressible horror, it came out in priut: "When I shall rest calmly within a shawl, With a weeping widow by my ride."
