..:WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING,
BY HORACE GREELEY
LAYING OFF A FARM-PASTURING
WhOdier finds himself the newly in
stalled owner and occupant of a farm,
should, before doing much beyond
growing a crop in the ordinary way,
study well'its character, determine its
capacities, make . himself well acquain
ted with its peculiarities of soil and
surface, with intent to make the most
of it in his future operations. I would
devote atTeast a year to this thought
ful:observation and study.
To one roared amid the rugged sce
nery of .New England, or on either
slope:of ,the Allegheny ridge, all prai
rie farms look alike, just as iEuropean
supposes this to be the ease with all
rileirOeS. A better acquaintance_ will
show the average prairie quarter sec
tion - by no means an unbroken mead
ow, "level as a house floor," but diver
sified by .water courses; "sloughs," and
gentlh acclivities—sometimes 'by eon
siderableravines and,"barrens" or ele-
Yated - "SWitles,"` thinly covered with
timber, or brush, or both. But I will
.contemplate more especially a North
ern farm, made up of bill and• vale or
ghtd<ronkrridge and skirting bog or
other low-land, with a wood-lot on the
rear or not far distant, and clumps or
bolts of timber irregularly lining brook
and ravine or lurking in the angles
and iiiimosities of walls and Wooden
fences, and a. ragged, mossy orchard
litieltered in some quiet nook, or spraw
ling over some gravelly hill-side. .A
,brook, nearly dry in August, gurgles
down the' hill-side or winds through
tbe - sWamp 'while fields moderately
sloping here and nearly level there,
•hoterposed' here -and , there; have'aeve-
rally beep devoted, for a generation or
more, alternatelyrtp grain and grass—
, itirgery - prei) tin ra ti e
aupp,ose' this farm to measure from
50 to 150 acres.
Now the young man who has bought
or inherited this, farm may be wholly
and cpnsolonaly, unable to enter upon
any expensive system of improvement
,fOr the neat ten years—May fully re
that four or fide -days of each
Wi r seti.Mnit meantime be given to the
growing or earning of present bread—
,yot he should none theless study well
the capacities.and adaptations of each
upre,,end natures comprehensive plan
:44 the ultimate bringing of each field
t, into l tlle best and most useful condition
'iviierebf susceptible, before he cuts
a'ira t e 'or digs a'solitary drain.
.He:is. morally certain,-of doing some
thing—perhaps many things—that ho
will sadly wisb,uedone, if he fails to
study peculiarities and mature a plan
before-ba ; --begins to improve or to fit
hip several fields for profittible-cultiva
tioh: • -
• .
rind . tbialrst,ecleition_td be :Made is
:that of a pasture, since I am compelled
use 'an' Old,lamiliar- name for what
; Ink essentially a new thing. 7—
This pasture should be as near the cen
-4ro of the farm as may be, and conve
nicpt, to,the barns and barnyard that
era to be. It should have sonie shade,
but no very oung tree; should be dry
withand rolling, an' abundance of the
purest living water. The strialleithi 13
pasture_lotliiayibel:tha: hotter I• shall
it, pro' , ided you, fence it' very
stoutly, ooddectitwith, the barn-yard
by a land if they afii - riceiti close prox
imity, and firmly resolve that outside
Of 'thiti lot, thii lane, this yard•and the
adjacent stable, your cattle shall never
be seen, unless on the, road to market.
17 . :ary, , possibly, the day, may come
wherein yen, wilk decide to dispense
_,,with pasturing altogether; but that is,
• for.the , present, improbable. One pas
ture You will hive ; if you live in the
broad West, and purpose : to graze ex
tensively, it will doubtless be a large
one; but permitting your stock'to ram
ble in Spring and Fall all over your
own fields—(and perhaps your neigh
bors'•also)-._in quest of their needful
food, biting off the tops of the finer
young trees, trampling down or break
ing down some that are older, rubbing
the berk,off your growing fruit trees,
and doing ,damage' that. years will be
required to repair, I most vehemently
' protest against. '
The one._great error that misleads
and corrupts mankind is the presump•
tion ,thet,tio,mething may be had for
nothing. The average farmer imagines
that ;whatever of flesh or of milk may
aceiitelo'hirri'f t roin the 'food' his cattle
obtain by broiling . ' r over his•fields or
through his wood's,_ is so much clear
gain—that'ilicy do the needful work,
while he pockets the net proceeds.—
But the universe was framed on a plan
which requires so much for so'mueh ;
and this law will not submit to defianCe
or evasion. Under the unnatural,
transitory conditions which environ
the lone squatter on a vast prairie,
something may be made by turning
cattle loose and letting them shirk for
themselves; bdt this is at best transi
tory, and at 'war with the exigencies
of civilization. Whoever lives within
sight of a schoothouse, 'cir'within hear•
ing of a church bell, is wider the do-
minion of a law alike inexorable and
benefieent—the'law requires eacb to
pay for' .all-be gets, and -reap only
where he has sown.
You can hardly have a pasture so
small that it will not afford hospitality
to wleds and prove a source of multi
'l.l"hjeLiplants that
should flourish and be diffused will be
kept down to the earth; those which
should be warred upon and eradicated
will flourish untouched, ripen their
seed, and diffuse it far and wide.—
Thistles, White Daisy, and every plant
that impedes tillage and diminishes
crops, are nourished and diffused by
means of pastures.
I hold, therefore, that the good far
mer will run a mowing machine over
his pasture twice each Summer—say
early in Juno, and then Into in July—
or, if his lot be..t9o-rough for this, will
hayo iti,clippeit at least once with' a
seythii:.'Catting all manner of worth.
less if riot noxious plants in the blos.
sem, will benefit the soil which their
s eeding would tax; it; will render the
eradication of weeds from your tillage
a far easier task; and it will prevent
your being a nuisance to your,neigh
bore. lam confident that:lloone who
has formed the habit of keeping down
the weeds in his pasture will over aban
don it.
I think each pasture should have
(though mine, as yet, has not) a rude
shed or other shelter whereto the cattle
may resort in case of storm or other
inclemency. How much they shrink
as well as suffer from one cold, pelt
ing rain, few fully realize; but I am
sure that "the merciful man". who, as
the Scripture says, "is merciful to his
beast," finds his humanitYla good pay
ing Investment. I_cloubt - Chat the 'rule
would- fail even in Texas; but I am
contemplatingcivilized husbandry, not
the rude conditions of tropical barber
, If only by. ineins. - of atakes_and
straw, give cattle a chance to keep dry
and warm .when they must otherwise
shiver through a rainy, windy day and
night on the cold, wet ground, and I
am sure they will pay for it. •
In confining a herd of cattle to such
narrow limits, I do not intend that
they - shall be stinted on what grows
there. On the contrary, I expect them
to be fed on Winter Rye, on Cut Grass,
on Sowed Corn, SOrghum, Stalks,
Roots, Ste.., &e., as each shall be in
season. With a good .Mower, it is a
light hour's work before breakfast to
cut and cart to a dozen or twenty head
as much grass or corn as they will oat
during the day. But let that point
stand over for the present.
Warm Feet,
'lf grown people choose to go to bed
with cold feet, "what's to binder?"—
Maybe they agree with the irascible
old man Who, having tried various lin
iments and emollients without effect,
at last defied the offending member :
"Ache away, old fellow, I can stand it
as long as you can." ' '
-But to put into cold sheets feet Out
should be - warm and rosy, but that at o
numb and blue, is enough 'to make all
the little toes this side of the tropics
curl: Some have constitutionally cold
feet, that will be cold in spite of wool
en stockings, and thick shoes, and any
amount of exercise."
The nervous system of children is
said to be five times greater propor
tionately than:that of their elders.—
Who can diliibts it ? And certain rest
less specimens, common to every
neighborhood, should 'oe, in justice to
ordinary two-footed urchins, ranked
as ,human decapods; for bow can one
pair of feet accomplish all these juven
ile Fliakims do? • -
.But Led-time rolls around, and then
the tired limbs, the yielding bones of
the gr6Wing body, should Ile in happy
tfmionstraint : ;knees •and chin should
not be brought intc,unnatural and un
congenial, neighborhood. how can
they help it When all 6elOW the hem
of the night-dress is a Nova-Zembla?
If the bed-rooms are warmed, there
will be no chill in the mattresses and
blankets; but every one knows how it
is in a.cold room. ,
We should like to urge all mothers,
elder sisters, aunties, and nurses to use
either a soapstone, which is easiest, or
a warmed crib-blanket, for the feet of
their little charges.' With that pleas
ant anticipation, going to bed will - be
robbed of half of its - objections.
There Will be fewer coughs and cat
arrhal colds, digestion will improve,
and "awful dreams" become less fre
quent; there will be no tedious hours
of chilly wakefulness. Afother 'may
then, with the good-night kiss : safely
invoke "pleasant dreams and sweet
repoee."—Hearth and Rome. • •
far The following good story is
told.of a zealous English reporter, who
nearly got himself into serious trouble
by his efforts to get a "beat" on a rival
sheet : He lived a mile or so out of
town, and on one side of the road" for
a considerable part of the way' was a
thick grove. As he was returning
home, late ono night, after having
seen the paper to press, he observed
that ono of the trees near the roadside
had an unusual appearance Going
within the fence, he discovered that
the body of a nian W 1143 suspended from
one of the braneheii; Hurriedly cut
ting it down, he drew the body into
a part of the grove-where the under
growth was thick, - intending to; con
ceal ; it. This done he wont :home.
Next 'morning he was takeninto cus
tody, on a charge of wilful murder,
and brought before a magistrate. A
gamekeeper, going through. the wood
at early daylight; had discovered the
body in its' place of concealment, and
some other person -remembered that,
about midnight, he had seen the-repor
ter issue from the grove' The case was
suspicious—until a constable, 'search
ing the pockets of the dead man,' dis
covered a written statement, contain
ing his name and place of abode, and
declaring that domestic misfortune
had made life •so unbearable that be
had resolved to 'commit suicide. Of
course the reporter was discharged.
His explanation was to the effect that,
finding such a flue bit of "local" as this
too late for his paper he ha concealed'
the corpse in order that the rival jour
nal, which was to appear on the next
day, should not profit by the news.—
But for the suicide!s confession, a pret•
ty strong case of circumstantial evi
dence Might: have been made out
against the knight of the pen.
