education for farming,
Slimmer work has occupied the minds and
hands of the young men and boys of the coun
try, and by this time they begin to see their
way through, and many are thinking what to
do fot the winter. The crops are to be har
vested, and when this is done, the work will
be such that fewer hands will do it, and the
boys can be spared to go to a trade or to
school. There is a great demand for the
labor of good mechanics of almost every
trade, many of whom are now getting very
high wages. The country is growing rapidly,
and though, as a rule, American journeymen
arc by no means thoroughly accomplished,
like the mechanics of Europe, yet there is
work enough for them, and they rise rapidly
if industrious, sober, and intelligent. His
makes the trades very at tractive to young far
mers, and the mechanic arts will always draw
their recrnits largely from the farms. Ihe
farm, however, offers greater inducements
to really intelligent labor than either the
trades or the mercantile professions, and
young farmers should plan how to best spend
the winter for their improvement in their pro
tension.
The farmer without tin education for his
calling remains a sort ot drudge wherever he
is, and he stands no higher in society than a
mere hand worker ought to. Properly edu
cated for his business he elevr.tes bi profes
sion and himself exactly in proportion to his
intelligence and general culture. Facilities
for agricultural education arc greatly increas
ing over the whole country, and it would be
well for farmer boys to --e if they cannot in
some way take advantage of them, even if
they can do no more than attend a single
course of leetures. The advantages to be
gained would be some information which
could hardly be acquired in any other way, a
knowledge of where to obtain information
from books and from other sources, and fin
ally, how to make knowledge available. The
Agricultural Colleges of Michigan and Mas
sachusetts, the Scientific Schools of New Ha
ven, Rutgers and Dartmouth Colleges, offer
such facilities. The Cornell University, with
its unrivaled advantages, the University of
Kentucky, and several other institutions,
open their doors to those who would base
their agricultural practice upon a broader
foundation than that of their own and their
fathers' experience.
Our successful commercial men, merchants
manufacturers, bankers, brokers, shippers,
etc., as soon as they acquire wealth which
they do not need in business, immediately
buy country seats, or farms, which they have
worked nnder their direction, or upon shares,
either for the sake of drawing articles of
daily consumption fresh from the fountain of
natural supply, or to be used as summer re
treats from din and dust, or for the profit
they hope to gain by the rise in value of the
land. Thus there is and will be an increasing
demand for intelligent young farm managers
to superintend with profit to the owner these
estates.—Good salaries will be paid for edu
cated brains, and this demand, as soon as it is
felt upon the farm, will keep our agricultural
colleges and lecture rooms full of attentive
pupils, who choose farming as their trade.—

MANURE A TEST OF GOOD FARMING.
We farm for profit as a rule, however many
exceptions there may be. This profit which
we all geek comes from the scale of the prod
ucts of the land, or from that of animals fed
upon them. This divides farming operations
into two classes, and determines the nature
ol them, and the system pursued upon differ
ent farms, or upon different fields of the same
farm. By far the greater number of farmers
pursue a mixed system, deriving thoir in
come in part from crops sold, and in part
from animal products. With such animal
manure is a necessity, and the success of a j
farmer may be predicated upon the amount!
he makes and uses. A temporary exception !
to this rule is seen on some of the virgin :
lands of the V _st, aud wherever appareully j
inexhaustible fertility of soil renders manure j
superfluous. Where a system of green tna- j
curing for wheat and Indian corn, with the ;
addition of lime and plaster, and perhaps i
bone dust occasionally, is sufficient with good
tillage to maintain fertility, farmers have an !
economical substitute for animal manures. !
This sys' x may often be profitably applied!
to "r ..-fields," and occasionally to entire
tar- .s. Manure—barn .yard manure, or more
properly, barn manure, for the yard is a poor
place, at best, to make it —regarding both
quantity and quality, must be considered the
manure of good fanning, and the test of suc
cess.— From American Agriculturist.
LIQUID MANURE.
M e believe there i no system of enriching
the land for small gardens, with a view to
perfection of crops, so truly economical and
so easily available as that of using liquid ma
nure. \\ e occasionally hear of a gardener,
or an amateur grower of some special plant
or crop, that has practiced enriching with
liquids, but it is only occasionally; yet the re
sult of every record is in its favor, and a
searching inquiry into any extra production
of fruit, flower, or plant almost invariably
gives watering with liquid manure as the
cause. There is in almost every family waste
of liquids, which usually go into the sewer or
drain, or possibly upon the road, where they
arc of no avail, but if saved, by being con
ducted to a tank, would enrich the entire gar
den spot of vegetables, small fruits, furni-h
stimulus to the rose and other flow er borders,
and keep the grass p.'at green and fresh e\ en
in the hottest and driest weather of midsum
mer. The use ot a little plaster (gypsum)
occasionally thrown in and around the tank,
would always keep it sweet and clean. By
die use and practice of liquid manuring, no !
delay need ever occur in planting-time be !
cause of the manure not beiog on hand, or
not being in a su!lic;enlly rotted condition: but
planting could proceed, and the application !
of manure be made at leisure.— {The Ilorli- \

llow MUCH SSEI> TO THE AORE? —J. J.
Mechi wrote to the Mark Larie Express, in
April last, concerning his experiments in
sowing wheat. He sowed a portion of land
in November, at the rate of a peek to the
acre, and it looked like a fallow all winter.
After being hoed, in the spring, it branched
out abundantly, and promised a yield fully
equal to that where a bushel to the acre was
sown. He adds, '\Every year 1 sow half an
acre with half a peck of wheat, in the midst
o. a thicker sown crop, putting it in the same
ay and under the same circumstances in the
tar.o.ig • -Ids, as they come in rotation. By
t is means I arrive at safe conclusions, and
wou .Irong y recommend my agricultural
friends to follow m,example, by thus experi
wonlT"! °r f Srnaii and un ' n jnriou scale. It

bushels of wheat per acre, the first two good
wheat years, the two latter unfavorable, I
still continue to drill 4 pecks of wheat, 6
pecks of barley, 8 pecks of oats, as my gen
eral sowing—a trifle more on the light land;
but I am getting more and more conviuced
that, with high, clean farming, and the drill,
we may, in Essex, reduce our wheat to 2
pecks."
A.v ITEM ran ruse GROWERS.— ChaIes
Downing says UhTvhe once witnessed a re
markable change produced ou the body of a
pear tree by means of wrapping it in straw.
The tree was a Brown Be'nrre, grafted about
seven feet high from the ground, upon a stock
which for years had not grown as rapidly as
the graft and presented a decided bulge or swel
ling at the junction of the graft. This smal
ler portion was incased in straw about two
inches thick, and at the end of two seasons it
was found on removing the straw that the
contracted or heretofore smaller stem bad
swollen to the foil size of the graft above,
presenting but a slight indication of the point
of unison between graft and stock.
This is an item of interest, and many tree
growers who have trees with contracted
stems, evidence of some natural wantof affin
ity with the graft, may hud in it a hint for
practical use. We have ourselves practised
wrapping the stem of Morello cherries, when
worked at a height of two or three feet with
the free growing or sweet varieties, with
moss, and thus kept them swelling regulariv
with the growth of the graft for years.—Ex

Clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more

hard. It will apply very well to a two-hor-e ra ;1 -

Now here is what the Farmer and thresherinan
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thrash gram, with more satisfaction than anv
other separator now in use, and why is it' lie"
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast
prevents gram from blowing into the chaff,
and also ha. a sell regulating feeder o feed tne
cleaner and it has rollers and combs the dean
er which prevents it from choaking. \>hv aocs
this machine run so light, and give so bt.ie tr,u
--i ble? Because there is less friction in the -Tonr.
nals, and the rakes and fan are geared so that you
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping
causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why i<£s, jj
clean against the wind? Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so
well arranged that the wind ha? no chance to
drive the dirt into tho hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the front car
riage separate, ready to attach when necessary ?
Because it is more convenient in the barn without
the front carriage. You can turn the machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Whv has
it not got Elevators like some other machine,?
Because the Elevator, carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the ebaff, and all know,
that filth should be kept separate for feed, Ac !
we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about
than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides
are closed up to prevent tne wheat chaff and dust
from coining out and scattering over the floor,
causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt
and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get
more work with these separators than they do
with others ? Because this separator has all these
advantages and many more, which makes it a
separator suitable and a paying one for all
larmers and Thrashermen that have grain to
thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit
themselves to the machine, because the machine
will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simpleaLi
most agreeable to work about and the only separ
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high recom
mendation of farmers that are using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will have as soon
as they have an opportunity to appreciate and
ictestits merits, for which we hope they will give
us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon
sible if it does not perform as represented in this
Circular. Shop price' of Machine* range from
$215, to $540.

represented; also against any reasonable defects
of material workmanship. Ac.
