From tha New York Tribune. j WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING. BY HORACE GREELEY. IV. PREPARING TO FARM. 1 write mainly fur beginners —for young persons, and some not so young, who are looking to farming as the vocation to which their future years are to be given, by which their living is to he gained. In this chap- j tor, I would counsel young men, who, not : having been reared in personal contact with : the daily and yearly round of farmer's cares j and duties, purpose henceforth to live by j farming. j To these I would earnestly sav. "No ; haste!" Our boys are in too great ah nr.-y to j be men. Tney want to be bosses before they j have qualified themselves to he efficient j journeymen. I have personally known sev- j oral instances of young. mco, fresh from j tchool or from some city vocation, buying or j hiring a farm and undertaking to work it; j and I cannot now recall a single instance in which the attempt has succeeded; while 1 speedy failure has been the usual result. The assumption that farming is a rude, situ pie matter, requiring little intellect and less experience, has hurried many a well-mean ing youth under debts which the best efforts of several subsequent years will barely ena ble hiui to pay off. In my opinion, half our farmers now living would say, if questioned, j that they might have waited longer before j buying or hiring a farm. When I was ten years old, my father took i a job of clearing off the mainly fallen and partially rotten timber—largely White Pine and Black Ash —from fifty acres of level and | then swampy land ; and he and his two boy? j gave most of the two ensuingyears (IS2I-2,' I to the rugged ta-k. When it was finished. ; I—a boy of twelve years —could have taken j just such a tract of half-burned primitive ■ forest as that was when wc took hold of it, i by an expenditure of seventy to eighty per cent, of the labor we actually bestowed upon j that. I bad learned, in clearing this, how i to economize labor in any future undertak ing of the kind; and so every one learns by experience who steadily observes and re s fleets. He must hate been a very good far- ! in. r at the start, or a very poor one after j ward, who cannot grow a thousand bushel- I of grain much cheaper at thirty years of age than he could at twenty. To every young man who has had no farm j ing experience, or very little, yet who means to make farming his vocation, I say, Hire out. for the coining year, to the best farmer who wiil give you anything like the value of your labor. Buy a very few choice books, (if you have them not already,) which treat of Geology. Chemistry, Botany, and the ap plication of their truths in Practical Agri culture; give to these the close and thought ful attention of your few leisure hours; keep your eyes wide open, and set down in a note book or pocket-diary each night a minute ol whatever has been done on the farm that day, making a note of each storai, shower, fro?*, hail, Ac., and also of the date at which each planted crop requires tillage or is ripe enough to harvest, and ascertaining, so far as possible, what each crop produced on the farm has cost, and which of them all are pro dueed at a profit, and which at a loss. At the year's end, hire again tothe same or an other good farmer and pursue the same course; and so do till you shall be twenty four or twenty-five years of age, which is young enough to n.arry, and quite young enough to undertake the management of' a farm. By this time if you have carefully saved and wisely invested your earnings, you will have several hundred dollars; and, if you do not choose to migrate to some region where land is very cheap, you will have found some one willing to sell you a small farm on credit, taking a long mortgage as security. Your money—r. muring that you have only what you will have earned—will all be wanted to fix np your buildings, buy a team and cow, with the few implements needed, and supply yon with provisions till you can grow some. If you can begin thus experienced and full-handed, you may, by diligence combined with good fortune, begin to make payments t u your mortgage at the close of your seerud year. I hate debt as profoundly as any one can but 1 do not consider this realiy running in to debt. On** ha.- more land than he needs, and does not need his pay for it forthwith ; another wants laud, but lacks tbe means of present payment. They two enter into an acrcement mutually advantageously, where by the poorer has the present u-e and ulii mate fee simple of the fhrro question, in consideration ot the payment of certain sums a- duly stipulated. Technically, the buvor becomes a debtor ; practically, I do not re grad him as such, until payments fall due which he is unable promptly to meet. Let him rigorously avoid all other debt, and he . need not shrink from or be ashamed of this. I have a high regard of scientific attain menu; I wish every young man were thor oughly instructed in the science which un derlies the art of farming. But all the learn ing on earth, though it may powerfully help to make a good farmer, would not of itsell make one. When a young man has learned ari that seminaries and lectures, books and cabinets, can teach him, he still needs prac tice and experience to make trim a good far mer. —"But wouldn't you have a young man study in order that be may become a good farmer ?'* If he has money, j es. I believe a youth worth four or five thousand doilais may wisely spend a tenth of his means in attend ing .eClares, and even course of study, at any good seminary where Natural Science is taught and applied to Agriculture. But is * hort " best; and he who has no moans, or very little, cannot really afford to attend even an Agriculture College. He can acquire so much of science as is indispensa ble in the cheaper way I have indicated. He cannot wisely coosent to spend the best years ol his life in getting ready to live. He who ha- already mastered the art of farming, and has adequate means, may of course buy a farm to morrow, though he be barely or not quite of age. ir e has little to icarn from me. Ict I think even such have often concluded, in after years that they were too ha-ty in buying land-that they . rnicbt profitably have waited, and delibera ted, and garnered the treasures of experi ence. before they took the grave step of buy ing their future homes; with regard to which, I shall make some suggestions in my next. !HE New York Farmers' Club says tbe Allowing ferttUiets are beat for the respec tive crops: \\ i.ite bean*—ba: ovarii manure; oinons—hen manure, salt and time, Irish potatoes—marl, sweet potatoes—little or no manure; cabbage— the rankest barnyard ma nure, 'time, ashes, and DO pig manure, sweet com—the richest manure to he obtained; tomatoes well-rotted stable manure on poor soil", on rich soils no manure.

AT a Concert recently, at the conclusion of the song, 'There's a good time coming,' a country farmer got up and exclaimed, "Mis ter, you couldn't fix the date, could you?" LORD BUCKINGHAM was once at a dinner where a Mr. Grubb was required to sing. He begged to be excused, urging tbat be knew not what to sir.g. "Sing, Idbe a butterfly," suggested tbe nobleman. A CRCSTT old doctor declined to pay his paver's bill, snying the pavement had been spoiled and then covered up with earth to hide tbe bad work. "Doctor, was the reply, "mine is not the only work they put earth over. A LITTI.E boy stubbed bis toe and fell on the pavement. "Never mind, my little fel low," said a bystander, "you won't feel the pain to morrow." "Tben," answered the little boy, "I won't cry to morrow."

The Major happened to be just behind Crocket, and tapped Davy on the shoulder. Turning around Davy very formally remarked: '•I'll be henged, Major, if I know whose pardon to ask, yours or the monkey's." THE BITER BlT.—' I say. neighbor Snobs, if you don't keep your bens out of my garden I will shoot them. •Very well, Doolittle, shoot away; only if you kill any of my hens, throw them into my yard.' Crack went the old fowling piece, morning after morning, and tbe large fat hens were pitched into neighbor Snobb's yard like rain.

Not long since a big boy appeared in •chool one morning, when the following dialogue occurred between him and the teacher: ; 'Can you read?' 'Don't know,' was the reply.

Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis i case, where tbe system seemed saturated with cor ruption, have been purified and cured by it. | S--rfulous affe-'tions and disorders, which were njrgravated by the scrofulous contamination until ihey were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in Fucb great numbers in almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need j to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr fatal disease*, without exciting a suspic on of its presence. Again, it seems to breed Infection through the body, and then, on some favorable f c<-asi#, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous ! tmt, eiiber on the surface or among the vitals. In tbe latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in tbe lungs or heart, or tumors farmed in the liver, or it shows its pres uee by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this SARSABARILLA is advisable, even wb"n no active symptoms of" disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following c-mpo nts generally hud immediate r lief. ud. at length, cure, bv the u-e of this SAkSAPAR/LLA: St. Anthony'* fire, Roic or Ery%ip-la. Tetter, Salt Hhrum, Scofd Jiintjtcorm. Sore Eye. Sore Enre. sod other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulou* disease. Also io the more concealed forms, as J)yj*ep*t\i, Dropey, Heart iHteaee, Fit*. Epilepey. Jieuradyia, and the various Uleerou* affections of the muscular aid nervous systems. Sypkili* or I tuereal and Mercurial Docate* are cured by it, though a long time is tequired for subduing these obstinate maladies by any med icine- But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint. Leneorrktza or Uteriui Ulceration*, and Female Di*ea*cs, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di rections tor each ca>e are found in our Altuanac, supplied gratia. Hheumatiim and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in tbe blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver I < plaint* Torpidity, Con-ymbtm or Inflamma t*on ot the Zzircr, and Jaundtee, when an.-iug as they often do. from the rankling poisons in the b;ood. This SAIISAFAU/LLA is agreat resto rer lor the strength and vigur ot tin system. 1 hose who are Languid and Listless, Despondent Sleepless, and trounied with Nervous Apprchen-' siuns or Fe*r, or any of the aJTetwt> symptom atic of Weaki ess. will find immediate reher and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
