WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREELEY.
y ll.—Trees—'Wood-Land—Forests.
I am uot at all sentimental—much less
spooney —regarding the destruct.oo of trees.
Descended from several generations o< tim
ber cutters (for my parental ancestors came
to America in 1640) and myself engaged for
three years in land-clearing. I realize that
trees exist for use rather than for ornament,
and have no more scruple as to cutting tim
ber in a forest than as to cutting grass in a
meadow. Utility is the reason and end of
all vegetable growth—of a hickory's no less
than a cornstalk's. I have al ways considered
"Woodman, spare that tree," just about the
most mawkish bit of badly versified prose in
our language, and never could guess how it
should touch the sensibilities of any oue.
Understand, then, that I urge the planting ot
trees mainly because 1 believe it wiilyiay, and
the preservation, improvement, and extension
of fotests, for precisely that reason.
Yet I am not insensible to the beauty and
grace lent by woods, and groves, and clumps
or rows of trees, to the landscape they diver
sify. 1 leel the force of Emerson's averment,
that "Beauty is its own excuse for being,"'
and know that a homestead embowered in,
belted by, stately, graceful elms, maples, and
evergreens, ' t is really worth more, aud will
sell for more, than if it were naked field and
meadow. I consider it one positive advan
tage (to balance many disadvantages) of our
rocky, hilly, rugged Eastern country, that it
will never, in all probability, be so denuded
of forests as the rich, facile prairies and
swales of the Great Valley may be. Our
winds are less piercing, our tornadoes less
destructive, than those of the Great West. I
doubt whether there is another equal area of
the earth's surface whereon so many kinds of
valuable trees grow spontaneously and rapid
ly, defying eradication, as throughout New-
England and on either elove of the Alleghe
uies, aud this profusion of timber and foliage
may well atone for, or may be fairly weighed
against, many deficiencies and drawbacks.
The Yankee, who has, been aceustomed to j
see trees spring up spontaneously wherever !
they were not kept dowu by ax, or plow, or 1
scythe, and to cross running water eiery ball :
mile of a Summer day's journey, may well be!
made homesick, by two thousand miles ot I
naked, dusty, wind-swept Plains, whereon
he finds no water for fitly to a hundred miles. '
and knows it impossible to cut an axe-helve, :
much more an axle-tree, in the conVse of a
wearying journey. No eastern farmer evet
rcali/.ed the blessedness of abundaut and ex
cellent wood aud water until be bad wander
ed far from his boyhood's home.
No one may yet be able fully to explain
the interdependence of these two blessings: j
but the fact remains. All over "the Plains." j
there is evidence that trees grew and flourish
ed where none are now found, and that
springs and streams were then frequent and |
abiding where uone now exist. A prominent
citizen of Nevada, who explored southward
from Austin to the Colorado, assured me
that his party traveled for days in the bed of
what had once been a considerable river, but
ill which it was evident that no water had
flowed for years. And I heard that, since the
Mormons have planted trees over considera
ble sections of Utah, rains in Summer are no
longer rare, and Salt Lake evinces, by a con
stant though moderate increase of her vol
ume of waters, that the equilibrium of rain
fall with evaporation in the Great Basin has
been fully restored—or rather, that the rain
fall is now taking the lead.
I have a iirm faith that all the great deserts
of the Temperate and Torrid Zones will yet
be reclaimed by irrigation and tree-plautiug.
The bill which Congress did not pass, nor
really consider, whereby it was proposed,
some years since, to give a section of the
woodless Public Lands remote from settle
ment to every one who, in a separate town
ship, would plant and cherish a quarter-sec
tion of choice forest-trees, mgbt to have been
passed—with modifications, perhaps, but pre
serving the central idea. Had ten thousand
quarter sections, in so many different town
ship of the Plains, been thus planted to tim
ber ten to twenty years ago, and protected
from fire and devastation till now. the value
of those Plains for settlement would have been
nearly or quite doubled.
A capital mistake, it seems to me, is being
made by some of tbe dairy farmers of our
owu State. One who has a hundred acres of
good soil, whereof twenty or thirty are
wooded, cuts o9 his limber entirely, calcula
ting that the additional grass that he may
grow in its stead will pay for nil the coal he
ueeds for fuel, so that be will make a net gain
of the time he has hitherto devoted each
Winter to cutting and hauling wood. He
does not consider how much this soil will lose
in Summer moisture, how his springs and
runnels will be dried up, nor how the sweep
of harsh winds will be intensified, by baring
bis hill-tops and ravines to sun and breeze so
utterly. In my deliberate judgement, a farm
of one hundred acres will yield more
feed, with far greater uniformity of product
from year to year, if twenty acres of its ridge
crest, ravine-sides, and rocky places, are
thickly covered with timber, than if it be
swept clean ol trees and all devoted to grass.
Hence, I insist that tbe farmer who sweeps
off his wood and resolves to depend on coal
lor fuel, hoping to increase permanently the
product of his dairy, makes a sad miscalcula
tion.
Spaiu, Italy, aud portions of France, are
now suffering from the improvidence that de- ;
voured their forests ,leaving the future to take
care of itself. T presume the great empires
of antiquity suffered from the same folly,
though to a much greater extent. The re j
mania of now extinct races who formerly peo- I
pled and tilled the central valleys of tbis eon- i
tinent, and especially the Territory of
Arizona, probably bear witness to a similar
recklessness, which is paralleled by our
fathers' and our own extermination of the
inaguificeut forests of White Pine which
barely a century ago. covered so large a por
tion o. the soil of our Northern States. Ver
mont sold White Pine abundantly to England
through Canada within my day: she is now
supplying ber own wants from Canada at a j
cost of not less than five times the price she j
sold for: and she will be paying stil! higher i
tales before the close of this century. I%u- j
treat our farmers not to preserve every tree, j
good, bad, or indifferent, tbat mav happen to i
he growing on their lands—hut, outside of !
the limited districts wherein the primitive j
forest must still be cut away in order that j
land may be obtained for cultivation, to plant I
nnd rear at least two letter trees for every one j
thev may be impelled to cut down. How this j
oiav, in the average, be most judiciously j
uone, I will try to indicate in my next.
HOME F.RST OF ALL.- Let parents talk
much and talk well at home. A father who
is haoitually silent in his own house, may be
m many respects a wise man: but he is not
w.sc in b,s silence. We sometimes see pa
rents, who are the l,fe of every company
which they enter, dull, silent and uninteresl
mg at home among the children. If they I
have cot mental activity and mental stories
sufficient for both let them first provide for
their own household.
Ireland exports beef and wheat, and lives
on potatoes: and they fare as poorly who re
nerve the social charms for companions
abroad, and keep their dullness for home
consumption. It is better to instruct chil-
dren and make tbem happy at home, than it
is to charm strangers or amuse frieuds. A
silent house is a dull place for young people,
a place from which tbey will escape if they
can. They will talk, or think, of being "shut
i up" there, and the youth who does not love
home is in danger.

j A lawyer and a doctor were walking arm- i

"Axv seats in the next car?" asked a pas' j

This seemed a puzzler, until one little girl

"A place to put women in."

perused the volume* "Yes, your highness,"
said the secretary, "and I'am waiting the ap
pearance of a second volume with feelings of
the greatest interest." The Count smiled,
hut said nothing. A few days afterward the
secretary received a second portfolio, bound
filled likej the first, and on the title page of

THE GOOSE. —Josh Biilingssays the goose
is a grass animal, but don't chew her cud.
They are good livers— about one aker to
a goose is enough.
Bat I don't think if I had a farm of 175
akers, awl paid for, that I would sell it for
what it was worth, just It use it didn't have
but one goose on it. Geese stay well, some
of our best biographers say 00 years, grow
tough to the last.
They are good eating, but not good chaw- 1
ins; the reason ov this remains a profound
secret to this day-
When the female goose is at work hatch
ing, she is a hard bird to pleaze; she riles
clear up from the bottom in a minit, and
will fight a yoke of oxen if they show her
the least hit ov sa.ss. The geese arc excel
leut for feathers, not only to feather their
I nests but other people's.
But they are more sureist about one thing;
they can haul one leg up into their boddy,
aud stand on totber aul day, and not touch
anything with their hands.
How ONE BOY WHIPPED ANOTHER.
—"I'll tell you how it was. Y'ou see, Bill
and me went down to the wharf to fish; aud
; I. felt in my pocket and found my knife, and
it was gone, and 1 said, 'Bill, you stole my
knife-;' and he said I was another, and I said
'Go there yourself;' and he said he was no
such thing: aud 1 said he was a liar, and I
couiu whip him if I was bigger'u him; aud
he said he'd reek me to sleep, mother; and
I said he was a bigger one; and be said I
never hid the measles; and I said to fork
over that knife or I would fix him for a tomb
; stone on Laurel Hill; and he said my grand-
I mother was no gentleman; and I said ho
; dersn't take it up; but he did, you bet; then
j I got up again, and said he was too much a
fraid to do it again, and he tried to but he
i dido t; and I grabbed him, aod threw him
down on the top of me like several bricks;
; and I tell you it beat all—and so did he;
and my little dog got behind Bill and bit
j him; and Bill kicked at the dog, and the
! Jog rau, and I rati after the dog to fetch
j bim back, and didn't each bim until I got
i clear home; and I 11 whip him more yet."
THERE was a clergyman who often be-
I came quite vexed at finding his little grand
children in his study. Oue day one of
these little children was standing by his
mother's side, aod she was speaking to him
of heaven.
"Ma, ' said he, "1 don't want to go to
heaven."
"Don t want to go to heaven, my son!"
"No, ma, I'm sure I don't."
"Why not, my BOO?"
"Why, grandpa will be there, won't he?"
"Why, yes, I hope he will."
"W ell, just as soon as he sees us, he will
come scolding aloDg, aud say, 'Whew! whew!
i j what are you boys here for?' I don't want
> 1 to go to heaven if grandpa is going to be
; there."
QFFICE OF
I?ISK & HATCH,
BANKERS AND DEALERS IN GOVERN
MENT SECURITIES,
No j NASSAI SSKEET, NEW-YOUK,
February 15tb, IS7O.
The remarkable success which tended our
negotiation of the Loans of the CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY and the WssrsßH PACIFIC
RAILBOAO COMPANY, and the popularity and cred
it which these Loans have maintained in the
markets, both iu this country and Europe, have
shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of wisely
locaicd and honorably-managed Railroads arc
promptly recognized and readily taken as the
most suitable, safe, and advantageous form of
investment, yielding a more liberal income than
can hereafter be derived from Government Bonds,
and available to take their place.
Assured that, in the selection and negotiation
of superior Railroad Loans, wo arc meeting a
great public want, and rendering a valuable ser
vice—both to the holders of Capital and to those
great National works of internal improvement
whose intrinsic merit atii substantial character
entitle them to the use of Capital and the conG
| dence of investors—we now offer with special con
dence and satisfaction the
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
or THE
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company.
j The Chesapeake an-' Ohio Railroad, connecting
! the Atlantic coast and the magnificent harbors
I of the Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio River at a
I point of roliable navigation, and thus, with the
entire Railroa system and water transportation
oftho great West and Southwest, FORMS THE
ADDITIONAL EAST AND WEST TRUNK
LINES, so imperatively demanded for the ac
commodation of the immense and rapidly-grow
ing transportation between the Atlantic seaboard
and Europe on the one hand, and the great pro
ducing regions of the Ohio and Mississippi Val
leys on the other.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ROAD AS
A NEW OUTLET FROM THE WEST TO TnE
SEA magnifies it into one of national consequence,
and insures to it an extensive through trafllic
from the day of its completion; while, in the de
velopment of the extensivo agricultural and min
eral resources of Virginia and Wcst-Virgiuia, it
possesses, along its own line, the elements of a
large and profitable locJ business.
Thus the great interests, both general and local,
which demand the completion of theCuEAAi-EAKE
AND OHIO RAILROAD to the Ohio River, afford
the surest guarantee of its success and value, and
RENDER IT THE MOST IMPORTANT AND
SUBSTANTIAL RAILROAD ENTERPRISE
NOW IN PROGRESS IN THIS COUNTRY,
Its superiority as an East and West ronte, and
the promise of an immense and profitable trade
awaiting its completion, hare drawn to it the
attention and co-opcration of prominent Capital
ists and Railroad men of this City of sound judg
ment and known integriiv, whose connection with
it, together with that of eminent citizens and bus- i
iness men 'Of Virginia aud West Virginia, IN
SURES AN ENERGETIC, HONORABLE and
SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT.
The Road is completed and in oporation from
Richmond to the celebrated White Sulphur
Springs of West Virginia, 2-7 miles, and there
remain but 200 miles (now partially constructed)
to be completed, to carry it to the proposed ter
minus on the Ohio river, at, or near, the mouth
of the Big Sandy river, 150 miles above Cinciu
nati, and 350 miles below Pittsburgh
Lines are now projected or in progress through
Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which will con
nect the CHESAPEAKE AND ONIO WITH
THE ENTIRE RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF
THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST, AND WITH
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Its valuable franchises and superior advanta
ges will place the CID-APCAKE AXD OHIO RAIL
ROAI. COMTAIST among the richest anl most
powerful and trustworthy corporations of the
country; AND THERE EXISTS A PRESENT
VALUE, IN COMPLETED ROAD AND WORK
DONE, EQUAL TO THE ENTIRE AMOUNT
OF TNE MORTGAGE.
The details of the Loan have been arranged
with special reference to the wants of all classes
of investors, and combine the various features of
convenience, safety, and protcction*against lose
or fraud.
The Bonds arc in denominations of
SIOOO, SSOO, and SIOO.
They will be, issued as Coupon Honda, payable
(o Hearer, and uiay be held in that form: or
The Bond may be rcgiatercd in the name of the
owner, with the coupons remaining payable to :
bearer, attached, the principal being then trans- ■
fcrable only on the book? of the Company, unless j
re-assigned to bearer; or
The coupons may be detached and cancelled, ;
the Bond made a permanent Hegiettred Hand, >
transferable only on the books of the Company,
and tho interest made payable only to tbe regis- :
tered owner or his attorney.
The three classes will be known respectively as
Ist. " COI'PON BONDS PAYABLE TO
BEARER."
'■iud. "REGISTERED BONDS WITH COV
PONS ATTACHED."
:ird. "REGISTERED BONDS WITH COU
PONS DETACHED," and should be so designa- i
ted by Correspondents in specifying the class of
Bonds desired.
They have TIIHIT V 7 EARS to run iroin Jan- i
uarv 15, 187 ft, with interest at six per cent per i
annum from November 1, 1879, PRINCIPAL and
INTEREST PAYABLE IX HOLD IN THE
CITY OF NEW YORK.
The interest is payable in May and November,
tbat it may take the place of tbe earlier issues of
Five-Twenties, and suit the convenience of onr
friends who already hold Central and Western
Pacific Bonds, with interest payable in January
and July, and who may desire, in making addi
tional investments, to have their interest receiva
ble at different seasons of the year.
The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the
entire Line of Road from Richmond to the Ohio
River, with the equipment and all other property
and appurtenances connected therewith.
A SINKING FI ND OF SIOO,OOO PER AN
XI.M IS PROVIDED FOR THE REDEMP
TION OF THE BONDS, TO TAKE EFFECT
ONE YEAR AFTER THE COMPLETION OF
THE ROAD.
The mortgage is tor $15,000,000 of which $2,-
000,000 will be reserved and held in trnst for the
redemption of outstanding Bonds of the Virginia
Central Hail read Company, now merged in the
CHES.WSAKK AND Onto.
Of the. remaining $13,000,046, a sufficient
amount will be sold to complete the road to the
Ohio river, perfect and improve tho portion now
in operation, and thoroughly equip the whole for
a large and active traffic.
The present price it 90 and accrued interest.
A Loan so amply secured, so carefully guarded,
and so certain hepeatter to command a prominent
place among the favorite securities in the mar
kets, both of this Country and Europe, will be at
once appreciated and quickly absorbed.

Middle ton's Wonderful Pain Curt:
A sure remedy for Rheumatism. Neuralgia, Lum
bago, Growing Pains, Sprains, Bruises, Stiffness
I of the Joints and similar diseases.
This wonderful remedy is composed entirely of
vegetable ingrodients. There are no injurious ,
substances used in its manufacture.
For assurance of its excellent properties, read I
the following certificates:
BEDFORD, May 18,1869. This is to certify that
1 have used Middleton's Liniment for the Rheu
matism, which I had in my right shoulder so bad
that I could not get my hand to my head without
great pain, and after a few applications was en
tirely relieved. L. F. DART.
BEDFORD, May 1, 1869. Mr. Middlcton: Dear '
Sir:—Mrs. Bowser was in much suffering for
some four weeks with Rheumatism, and got some j
of your Pain Cure, and the first night I applied :
it it eased ttiopain; and after keeping on using it j
for two weeks she was restored to health. I feci ;
it to be my duty, as it is a pleasure, to write this !
recommendation lor the benefit of others.
JACOB BOWSER. j
Bin FORD. May 16, 1869. Mr. W. W. Middle !
tor: Sir—l procured a bottle of yuur Liniment j
for Rheumatism, and it gives me great pleasure I
in raying that after using it for two days, my :
rheumatism was completely relieved. My sister I
was suffering, at the same tiuic, with luflamatory I
Rheumatism in her right hand and wrist— after
using it for several days she was relieved. I con
aider it the best remedy I ever heard of.
JOHN KEEFE.
BEDFORD, May 21, 1860. This i., to certify !
that I have used one bottle of Midd'.eton's Lini
| inent, for Rheumatism, and think it a good cure, j
and would recommend it to all persons thut are
1 afflicted with the abeve disease.
AUGUSTUS GARVER.
BEDFORD, May 26, 1869. Mr. .Middlcton: Sir— I
I procured one bottle of your medicine and used '
: one-half of it for Rheumatism, which effected a i
permanent cure up to this time. I eannot hesi
tate in saying that it. is tiie best remedy I ever >
I used. A. B. CARN.
BEDFORD, May 8. 1869. I take great pleasure !
in giving my testimony to the value of 'Middle
ton aII onderful Pain Cure." I have been a roar
: tyr to Rheumatism. Fur two months previous to i
Feb. 21 th. last, I was suffering intensely with pain I
i so severe, that during all that time I hail not one !
night of comfortable sleep. I could not put my i
hands to my face, could not comb my own hair,
. nor feed myself; but after having the Pain Cure ;
applied once, I found relief enough to give mo
! comfortable sleep, and with its steady use, I con- j
tinned to get better, and now at the end of ten i
i wee its from its first application, I have com para
| tively tree use of my hands, sleep well and ran ;
attend to business. It has done me more good ■
; than all other medicines I have ecir used put I
1 together, and I cheerfully give this certificate of i
'lvalue. ELI M. FISHER. !
BEDFORD. April 11, 1869. Mr. YV. IV. Middle
ton: This is to certify that I was taken with Rheu
matism, in my right shoulder, oa the evening of j
the 9th inst., so that I was unable to raise my '
hand to uiy face. I got some of your Pain Cure i
and applied it twice, and was entirely relieved, j
I would recommend to every one who suffers with
Rheumatism to give it a trial and bo cured.
Yours Ac. A. F. MILLER.
BEDFORD, May 17, 1569. Mr. Middlcton: Dear
Sir—l have used several bottles of your medicine
in my family, and find it to be all 'vou claim for
it. Yours, truly, JOHN HAFER.
BenroßD, May 13, 1869. This is to certify that
I have used "Mlddleion's Pain Cure," for Khcu
matism, and was very much benefitted by it.
JOHN HARRI3.
This excellent PAIN CURE is prepared only
by W. W. MIDDLKTON, Bedford, Pa., to whom
all oraers for the medicine should be addressed.

: 2. TIIE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, :
! which commence- its 12Stb volume with the Jan

i higher integrity of conviction,
i 5. BLACKWOOD'S ICD IN BURG MAGAZINE
