COMMON SENSE IN FARMING.
Some one has said that common sense is a
very uncommon commodity; and when we
look orer the fanning community we are more
than half inclined to believe that the remark
is 3 true one. How many of our farmers
have planned to make the, from four to a
dozen, horses that he used during the sum
E er earn their feed dining the winter
months? How many have planned profita
ble work for their hired laborers by which
they maybe enabled to earn their wage>
during the inclement season of winter ? Not
one in a hundred. Yet horses and hand
must be kept over winter or they will not be
on hand when Spring opens. Here is where
education and brains tell in farming, 1 lie
keeping of a half dozen horses over win
ter is a heavy item of expense aud some
times eats up half the profits of the sum
mer's work, yet a little judicious brain work
would devise ways and means not only t
make them pay their own expenses but aho
yield some profit even in winter. In thc
£)me manner the farm laborers may be kept
over winter instead of being discharged
when the fall work Ls over. Here too the
farmer will find a most important. element
of success. If he has once obtained good,
industrious and skilful laborers who know
how to do their work and will do it web,
he eannot afford to turn them off in the
fall and hire green hands in the spring,
one good hand may nett him a handsome
profit each season, whde it would require
two or three inexperienced hands u£aceom
plish the same woik. and their board and
wages in the end exceed the value of their
labor, more laborers are wanted on every
farm in Bedford County. The majority of
the farms are scarcely haif cultivated. In
telligent, and skilful farmers will find that
thorough cuhure will pay them better than
the skinning system and that it is more
profitable to improve and thoroughly culti
vate what they have than to increase the
size of their farms which are now only half
tilled. Who will be the first to give us the
benefit of bis experience in thorough cul
ture?
FIX UP THE IMPLEMENTS.
During the winter every implement and
machine that will be required next spring
and summer should be overhauled and re
paired. Examine the plows, and if they
have been neglected and are rusty, wash
off all the dirt, and then apply with a
swab fastened on the end of a stick, a
n.i*:ui*<j of oxvo part vulpkeris soul and
two parts water. Rub the mould-board
and other parts that are rusty with this
liquid until the rust is all removed; then
wash it off and rub it dry. Then smear
it over with crude petroleum or souie other
cheap oil, aud next spring you will be saved
from the loss and annoyance of clogging.
Every farmer should buy a barrel of petro
leum, aDd use it freely on all his wagons,
machines, implements, ete. k will keep
the iron from rusting and the wood from
decay, and in cold wheather it is a useful
lubricating oil. We find it absolutely es
sential to keep on band several sizes of
carriage bolts. With these and a brace, and
a set of bits, nearly all ordinary fractures
can be easily repaired. It is a great con
venience, also, to have a vice, and to keep
on hand an assortment of uncut nuts, with
the tools for making the thread in them and
also on tho bolts. All these things can be
obtained at a hardware store, and a farmer
who buys them will never regret it. But if
it is necessary to take any thing to the blaek
ffilith'i shop, now is 'h tiwmo 4 •'. -J
when it is repaired, clean off the rust, paint
it with linseed oil, and put it away for use
in the spring. If the fanner or his son
would go overall the implements, machinery,
wagons, hay racks, tools, etc., paint them,
oil and tighten the bolts, and see that every
thing is strong and in good order, it would
not ODly greatly lessen the blacksmith's bill,
but would save much precious time and no
little annoyance next spring and summer.
The winter is also the time to make whiffle
trees, and three-horse even-ers. It is a
great advantage to have an extra set of these
on hand.
DEEP PLOWING SHOULD BE DONE
GRADUALLY.
A correspondent, who has one of the
finest and most productive farms in Western
New York, which he keeps in a high state
of fertility by thorough cultivation and the
growth of red clover, makes the following
sensible remarks in regard to deep plowing:
"A sudden bringing up to the surface of
Riany inches of heavy clay, that has never
been punctured by the roots of plant?, and
this too in the spring of the year, would
probably injure the first crop. Clay sub
soils are best brought to the surface two or
three inches at a time, and that in the fall,
so that the frosts of winter may mellow
them dowD. The next spring plow say
twice as many inches deep as the clay sub
soil is thick. This will mix things up so
that even a crop of corn would be much im
proved by the deep fall plowing. If we had
the power and tools necessary to go on with
(his process of bringing up the subsoil to,
and mixing it with the surface soil, until we
had one foot or more of mellow soil that had
been enriched by turning under repeated
clover crops, and then uuder this foot or
more of soil, we could run a subsoil plow
two feet deep, and so break the clay to a
depth of three feet, the clover roots would
have a chance to briijg to the surface the
fertility that now lies dormant under the
surface of our lands. This is the theory
that I have constructed on the experience
of a lifetime as a farmer; and I have no
doubt of its applicability on our lands here.
I do not think it would do on all lands, but
it is practicable here, or at least will be
when we get the Btcam Plow that can do
the subsoiling for us. In the meantime we
art- doing the best we can in the direction I
have indicated. "—Ex.
CHARLES DOWNING says that he witness
ed a remarkable change produced on the
body of a pear tree by means of wrap
ping it in straw. The tree was a brown
Beurrc, grafted about seven feet bigli, upon
a stock which tor years had not grown as
rapidly a.a gralt usually does, and present
ed a decided bulge or swelling at the junc
tion of the graft. I his smaller portion was
encased in straw about two inches thick, and
at the end of two seasons it was found, on
removing the straw, that the heretofore
smaller stem had become the full size of the
graft above, presenting but a slight indica
tion of the past union between graft. This
ia an item of interest, and many tree grow
ers who have trees with contracted stems,
evidence of some natural want of affinity
with the graft, may find it a hint for practi
cal use. We have ourselves practiced
wrapping the stem of Morello cherrieswhen
worked at a height of two or three feet, with
the free growing or sweet varieties, with
moss, and thus kept them swelling regular
ly with the growth of the graft for years,

its pages, at whatever pecuniary cost the best
literary and artistic talent now engaged, or
that may hereafter be engaged, in writing for
periodical literature, at home or abroad.
For the coming year, besides other attrac

This Company, Natianal in its character, of
fers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of
Premium and New Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the insurers as ihose of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the latter
are so apt to create among the Policy-llolders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as rhe INCOME
PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMI
UM POLICY. In the former, the policy-holder
not only secures a lifo Insurance, payable at
death, but will receive, if living, after a period of
a few years, an annual income equal to ten per
cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of kit policy. In
the latter, the Company agrees to return to the
attured the total amount of money he hat paid in,
in addition to the amount of hit policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have, is called to the special
advantages offered by the National Life Insurance
Company.

0' JR NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
Th superior merits of the "Singer" Machines
over alt others, for either family use or manu
facturing purposes, are so well established and
generally admitted, that, an enumeration of their
relative excellence is no longer considered nec
essary.
OUR NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which has been brought to perfection regardless
of time, labor or expense, is now confidently pre.
sented to the public as incomparably
THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX.
ISTENCB.
The machine in question is
SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU.
TIFUL
It is quiet, light running, and capable of per
forming e range and variety of work never he
fore attempted upon a single machine, -using
either silk, twist, linen or cotten thread, and sew
ing with equal facility the very finest and coarsest
materials, and anything between the two extreme#,
in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its
attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording,
Tucking, Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding,
etc, are novel and practical, end have been in
vented end adjusted especially for this machine.
New designs of the nnique, useful and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the
machines manufactured by this Company, bars

A faint idea however, ean at best be given
through the medium of a (necessarily) limited ad
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest of a Sewing Machine by aii means to ex
amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all the
leading rival machines before making a purchase.
A selection can then be made understandingly.

machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any
information promptly furnished. Or communi
