WALKS AN"STALKS ON THE FARM.
"Why don t you come West," writes an
eminent Iswy.r and farmer of Ohio "and
not wear yourself out among those stones .
Suppose tba stones hare been placed in the
ground on purpose to be taken out, doe. it
EU that a good fellow who ba. brums and
intelligence enough to do something better
should be the man to taketbem out?' I wilt
tell my friend why Ido not go West. hirst.
Because I am here. Second. Because
there is a very general disposition to change,
and, as a rule, it is better not to do what
everybody else is doing: and consequently
those who stav where they are will be likely
to do better than those who are anxious to
sell their farms and go West. 1 bird. Be- j
canse Ido cot believe all the good th.n S s of
;his life are confined to one particular place.
Fourth.—Because, so far as I have seen, ta
king everything into consideration, farms are
cheaper hero than in the West. Fifth. Be- j
cause there is abundant opportunity here to j
improve our farms, and there is great pleas
ure and profit in increasing the productive
ness of land. Sixth.—Because 1 have stood
in a two hundred acre field of corn in the vi
cinity where my friend lives,—land, rich, I
mellow, clean, no stones, and few weeds: I
nothing to do but plow, harrow, plant, cu:ti
vate, and harvest: and repeat the same thing
vear after year:—and I did not think I should
like tbat kind of farming. It is too monoto
nous. To tell the truth I would ranch rather
strike a stone occasionally ar.d have the pleas
ure of getting it out. "But all the land in
Ohio is not of this character." \ ery true;
but if you take high rolling upland, you meet
with just the same difficulties we have here,
and there is no use in selling one farm and
buying another merely for the love of change.
Here, in Western New York, we have just as
good land, all things considered, as there is
in Ohio. We may have to pay more atten
tion to making manure: we may have to un
derdrain more; we may have to work the land
more thoroughly, in order to kill weeds and
develop the latent plant food in the soil: we
may have more stones to get out; but what of
all this? There is great pleasure in under
draining, it is real fun to get out stones; and
the good crops which result from killing
weeds and manuring the land afford a kind
and degree of satisfaction that can be obtain
ed in no other way.
It is a mistake, however, to suppose that
the West raises large crops without cultiva
tion or manuring. The recently published
prize essay on the Farming of Delaware Co.,
Ohio, by Judge Jones, shows tbat even the
farmers in this celebrated district need to ex
ert themselves in order to raise large crops.
He says: "The crop of wheat in 1866 was a
failure, being killed outright by hard freezing
and high winds while the ground was bare.
In 1867 the crop was rerv superior in quality
and fair in quantity." He tells us, however,
tbat owing to these occasional failures and the
high prices of labor, farmers bave "greatly
reduced the quantity of land devoted to this
important crop." He further stales : "The
idea that wheat can no longer be grown with
profit prevails to some extent all over the
State." And let me say, the idea wilt pre
vail so long as it is thought that men, with
•"brains and intelligence, should be engaged
with something better than getting out stones
aud improving the land.
"The average yield of wheat in Delaware
Co., from 1850 to 1864 was a little over 11
bushels per acre." The county averages 33
bushels of corn per acre, which is about equal
to the average iu the Scioto Valley. Ido not
think I will go West, and "wear out" my life
iu growing such crops.
We ran do better here, though it must be
confessed that our average yield of corn is no
higher. But our land can be made to pro
duce 80 busbels. All it needs is "brains and
intelligence. *' The crop of oats in this coun
ty in 1865 did not average 2" bushels per
acre, and barley only 11 bushels; potatoes not
80 bushels per acre; rye not 13 busbels per
acre. These are small crops for one of the
finest counties in Ohio. And the pasture*
are no better. Judge Jones thinks it requires
"about two acres to graze a full grown cow or
ox, which,"' be adds, "is but little more than
half the grass our lands ought to produce."
No doubt about that. One of my fields the
past summer supported stock equal to at least
two cows per acre until- after hay harvest,
when I plowed it up, aod summer fallowed it
for spring barley. And it was out of a knoll
in this very field tbat we got the stones which
seem to have excited the pity of my Ohio
riend. Now If I can make such land carry
double the stock it does in Scioto Valley, and
have the pleasure of getting out the stones
besides, why should I go West?
Mr. Lawes used to say that in England the
best farmers were found ou the poorest land,
and the poorest farmers on the best land.
Thus Norfolk has the poorest land and the
worst climate in England, while nowhere in
.e world can be found larger crops, cleaner
land, or more intelligent enterprising, and
wealthy farmers. Devonshire has the best
c.iir.ate and the best soil in England, and
with some exceptions the poorest fanners.
Hitherto this rule did not prove good with ns.
\\ e have the best farmers on the best and
richest land. It will not always be so. lam
mistaken if New England will not produce
some of the most enterprising, intelligent,
and successful farmers on the continent. -

If you don't know how to prune, don't

knows less than you do.
Don't cut off a big lower limb unless you
are a renter, and don't care what becomes of
the tree when your time is out.
A tree with the limbs coming out near the

HAS E \OU ANY CHRYSANTHEMUMS?
If any one who has a garden has no Chrys

give him a set at a small eost. Put them out
and then giva them good cultivation. Be

LITERAL ANSWERS.
A lecturer in Portland, Maine, or some,
where else, was explaining to a little girl how
a lobster casts his shell when he had out
grown it. Said he,
'What do you do when you outgrow yonr
clothes? You cast tbem aside, do you not?'
'Oh, uo,' replied the little one 'we let out
the tucks.'
Again, a teacher was explaining to a little
girl the meaning of ihe word cuticle.
'What is that all over my face and hands?'
said he.
'lt's freckles, sir,' answered the little cher
ub.
An answer of a similar character is often
the result of a hard word.
'AViiiiam,' said a mother to her son, who
had already eaten a very considerable amount
of dinner, 'I don't know whether yon can
cat this pudding with impunity.'
| 'Well, mav be not,' said William, 'I think
I would rather have a spoon.'
A lady noticed a boy sprinkling salt OD the
sidewalk to take off the ice, and remarked to
a friend, pointing to the salt,
'Now that's true benevolence.,'
'No it ain't,' said the boy, somewhat in
dignant, 'its salt.'
! So when a lady asked her servant girl if the
hired man had cleared off the snow with
alacrity, she replied,
'No, ma'am, he used a shovel.'
The same literal turn of mind which I bare
I been illustrating is somewhat used in
tentional'y and perhaps a little mali
ciously, and thus becomes the property of
wits, instead of blunders. Thus we hear of a
very polite and impressive gentleman who
said to a youth in the street,
'Boy, may I inquire where Robinson's
drug store is ?'
'Certainly, sir,' said the boy. very re
spectfully.
'Well, sir,' said the gentleman, after wait
ing awhile, 'where is it? 1
'I have not the least idea, your honor,'
said the urchin.
There was another boy who was accosted
by an ascetic middle aged lady with,
'Boy, I want to go to Dover street.,'
•Well, ma'aha,' said the boy, 'why don't
you go there then?'
One day on Lake George a party of gen
tlemen strolling amoug the beautiful islands
• f the lake with rather bad luck espied a little
tellow with a red shirt and an old straw hat
I dangling a line over the side of a boat.
'Hallo, boy,' said one of them, 'what are
you doing?'
'Fishing.' came the answer.
'Well, of course,' said the gentleman, 'but
what do you catch ?'
'Fish, you fool, what do you spose?'
'Did any of you ever see an elephant's
skin,' inquired a teacher of an infant class.
'I have,' exclaimed one.
'Where?' asked the teacher.
'On the elephant,* said the boy laughing.
Sometimes this sort of wit degenerates or
rises, as tbe case may be, into punning, as
when Flora pointed pensively to the heavy
masses of clouds in the sky, saying:
'I wonder where those clouds art going:'
and her brother replied.
'I think they are going to thunder.'
Also, as the following dialogue:
'Hello, there ! how do you sell your wood?'
'By the cord.'
'How long has it been cut?'
'Four feet.'
'I mean how long has it been since you cut
it?'
'No longer than it is now.'
And also, as when Patrick O'Flynn was
seen with hi 3 collar and bosotn sadly be
grimmed and was indignantly asked by his
officer,
'Patrick O'Flynn, how long do you wear a
shirt?'
'Twenty-eight inches, sir.'
This reminds me of an incident which is
said to have occurred recently in Chatham
street. New York, where a countryman was
clamorously beseiged bv a shep keeper.
'Have yon any fine shirts?' said the coun
tryman.
'A splendid assortment sir. Step in sir.
Every price and every style. The cheapest
in the market, sir.'
'Are they clean ?'
'To be sure, sir.'
'fhen said the countrymau, with great
gravity, 'you bad better put one on for you
need it.'
Wit is said to excite an agreeable surprise.
I fear the surprise here was not agreeable to
one of the parties, but it was wit nevertheless.
"I KNOW well euougb," said a fellow,
"where fresh fish comes from, but where
these salt ones are calched, I'll be banged if
I can tell."
"OH, mother, do send for the doctor !"
said a little bov of three years. "What for
my dear ?" "Why, there's a gentleman in
the parlor who sayß he will die if Jane don't
marry him, and she says she won't.
A Niw Hampshire editor, who kept a
record of big beets, announces at last tbat
"the beet I bat beat the beet that beat the
Other beet, is now beaten by a beet that beats
all the beets, whether the original beet, the
beet that beat tbe beet, or the beet that beat
the beet that beat the beet."
A pt-kix- SPOKEN Western preacher de
livered the following from his desk: "I
would annouce to the congregation that,
probably by mistake, there was left at this
meeting-house, this morning, a small cotton
umbrella much damaged by time and wear,
and exceedingly pale in color, in place of
which, was taken, a large silk umbrella, and
of great beauty. Blunders of this kind, breth
ren and sisters, are getting too common."

These porta have a foreign commerce of S9OO
000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which we have the immense internal commerce ol
the Empire, radiating from these points, throngh
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy asd
trustworthy means cf communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commi
uications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and ber only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows tbat China as
very large country, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of tha human raea. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by Ibe local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of thsse, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Iler civilization is peculiar, but her literature is
as extersive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex-
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information,
rt is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use ef the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are earned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclnsively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
iu business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its successful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is el a vast national importance com
mercially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been unquali

QUE NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
The superior merits of the "Singer" Machines
over all 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
'ented to the public as incomparably
THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX
ISTENCE.
The machine in qoestion {.
SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU
TIFUL
It is quiet, light running, and capable of per
forming a range and variety of work never be
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, and have been in
vented and adjusted especially for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the
maeh ncs manufactured by this Company, h* r e
been prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea however, ean at best be given
through the medium of a (necessarily) limited ad
vertiaement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to ex
amine and test, if they can possibly do ao, ail the
leading rival machines before making a purchase
A selection can then he made understanding!/
Brandies or agencies for supplying the "Singer'
Machines will be found in nearly every city and
town throughout the civilized world, where
machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any
information promptly furnished. Or communi
