PROFITS OF FARMING.
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.
