Doss !arming Pay !
It is a prevelinkidei with a great many
people. that firming is a poor, good-for
nothing businesis, and nohicly but. some
poor know-nothing will engage in it. Now,
in this they are greatly mistaken, for
farmers rank among the first classes for in
telligence and judgment, with a very few
exceptions. But to the question.
Here is a certain Mr. A. He goes to
work in the Spring on his farm ; lie half
plows his land, half manures and balf plants
it; then, in holing time, he halt' does it.
What is the result ? It is this When he
comes to dig his potatoes, he only gets half
a crop ; that don't suit ; he grumbles and
whines over it terribly,. and says that 'lie
can't sae fi:r the life on 'im what ails them
pertaters..why they didn't grow better."
Now, which is to . blame, the man or the
firm ? Of this you may judge for your
selves ; but one thing is certain, farming
of this sort “don't pay."
Let us take another case. Here is Mr.
B. He goes to work and carefully pre
pares his groui.d, and endeavors to do all
in his power to insure success. What is
the result, allowing the season to be a fair
one ? It is this : he gets a good crop,
One that sufficiently pays him for all his
work and something over. Does not farm
ing of this sort pay ? To be sure it does
not pay so large dividends as a successful
mercantile business would neither does it
enable him to become a millionaire ; but it
pays him good fair wages, sufficient to en
able him to live in comfortable circum
stances.
But some people will say : "Look here,
here is a man that is a mechanic, he gets
from two dollars to three dollars a diy ;
don't that pay better than farming ?" Well
at first glance, it seems to appear that it
would; but let us look a little further.
You say that he gets three d illan a day.
Well, vi d 3 this he his got is work ; aul.
mind y ita. it is work. not play. • And to
get it every day. he his to work every
day. no matter what the IvJather is; fir
it' the work st the pay st ips. : If lie
happans to be sick a day, so much is lost.
Then, more than all this, he has got to be
under a master. and spend all his life
working for somebody else. Then he has
to buy every thing, or nearly every thing,
that his family emesumes. He can raise
noshing—zven if he has s small garden,
that amounts t! - , - A litde—but he has got to
bay every thing; therefore, it will take
TM greater part of his piy to enable him
to live.
Now, how is it with the flamer 7 True
be hie to work hard at time.? But every
b tdy has to do this. Atter he has g,t his
seed - into the ground, it' he wants to lie
still a day or a week, he can do an; and
in the mew time his seed is growing, and
grottis just as well as it' he was at work.
If there is a stormy day—and there is
qu , te a number in the emirs,: of a yo•ar—
ho can sit in the house and read the news
paper. and loses nothing by it. Then he
can raise nearly every thing that his fam
ily consumes; his flour, if he wishes to,
his potatoes, pork. etc., and not have t
pay out a cant. Prh :ps sou,: will say.
"Stipp tsingevery body should go t t thrufng
what than ?" Way. they woali get a liv
ing. anyhow, if mulling. noire; but if
everybody should leave firming, and take
a trade, it would be a hard matter to get
even a living. Don't think that lam
running down the trades, tia• I ant nor;
they are all necessary to wealth and c
tw
fort. There is another thing in flavor of
the farmer; his farm is not liable to be
swept away in a day and leave hint penti3-
less, as a merchant's sometimes is But
to come to the point, farming is the back
bone to all trades and crafts. Without it,
ships would rot in the harbors, locomo
tives would rust on the rails. Now, is it
not as honorable an employment as that of
a mechanic ? Does it not pay as Well, tike
it every way? No intelligent person will
deny that farming is an honorable. profi
table. and paying employwent.—G. H. S.,
in New England Homestead.
Science in Farming
In every field may be found a stalk of
corn or of grain, a stalk of cotton, or a
hill of potatoes excelling by far in yield
and quality the average of the field. That
some specific cause has produced this,
there can be no question. What is it ?
Has it rece ved, the benefit of some fer
tilizer? It so, what, and in what quantity ?
Is it from superior drainage? Was the
seed from which it sprung superior? Has
its cultivation been in any manner differ
ent? Will the product of this stalk re
produce its truitfulue•s ? Can the ballance
of the field be brought up to the same
producing capacity.
These and others are •questions which
present themselves to the watchful observ
er. It is the province of science to as
certain the causes, and from them, to de
duce specific laws which shall govern un
der similar circumstances. If this can be
done and the principles be appli-d to im
prove the whole field to the same or great
er extent, science in farming is accom
plishing its appropriate service.
He whc. can deduce these laws and ap
ply them, be he well read in books, or only
an observer of nature's teachings, is a
scientific farmer.
Remedy for Cut-Worm in Corn.
As some of our Southern subscribers
may want to plant corn before our next is
sue we repeat what has been pretty well
tested here, as ae remedy tier the cut
worm--cheap, readily applied, effectual as
a worm destroyer and to s_me extent also
as a fertilizer in the bill :
After the corn is dropped and covered.
and before it is up. apply on the surface of
each hill about one table bpooaful of ground
salt.
Unless it is carbolic acid, nothing makes
worms of all kinds squirm like salt. It is
sometimes applied broadcast, :it the rate of
6 to 10 bushel per acre—which is also an
excellent application just before the last
harrowing.
In old gardens, such as have been heav
ily manured and cropped year alter year,
fur a long period, snails and grubs often
abound and as commonly described, the
soil seems t 3 hive become In +none sick.
Vegetables do not grow as they used to do..
Here also a dressing of salt will be found
beneficial, as a restorative and also worm
destroyer. The value of salt as a fertili
ser has probably- been overlooked. We
have known it to producegreat luxuriance
on pasture and mowing fields.—Practical
Farmer. -
To KILL Timis orr giTEEP.—The best
way that I have ever tried is to shear my
sheep, then let them run for two weeks;
the ticks will, during that time, nearly all
collect on the lambs; then dip the lambs
into a vat of strong tobacco juice; then
hurdle the sheep and sprinkle •the juice
that remains on the sheep. This is done,
the ticks won't trouble you for three or
four years again.—C. E. Straight, Cuya
hoga county, Ohio,
A french chemistTsserts that if tea be
ground like coffee before hot water is pour
ed upon it, it will , yield nearly double the
- amount of its exhiterating qualities. An- 1
other writer says : If you put a piece of ,
lump anger, the size of a walnut, into a 1
teapot, you will make tea infuse in half
the time.

A FEW REASONS
ARION PIANO
IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTIIERS
The ARION PIANO-FORTE has greater power
than any other Piano-Forte manufactured.
It will Stand in Tune Langer,
and in its mechanical construction it is more per•
feet, and, therefore,moro durable, than any instru•
meat constructed in tho usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agraffe, the manner of
stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS
The use of a bar (which is a part of the Iron
Frame on a line with the heavy steel stringing,)
GREAT STRENGTII
where most needed, and in this respect all other
pi an (les fail.
The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the teeing Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness
throughout the scale, the excellent Singing Quali•
ity, the
LENGTH AND PURITY OF VIBRATION,
all go to prove what we claim, via i that the
ARION PIANO-FORTE
Is the Best Instrument Manufactured,
ALSO
ESTEYS COTTAGE ORGANS,
WITH THE
VOX JUBILANT
VOX HUMANA
THE NE PLUS ULTRA OF

universally acknowledged to be the BEST Cligan
made for Sunday Schools, Churches, Parlors and

Having snore power, with a sweeter tone, than
any other Organ in the market notwithstanding
the representatione of agents interested in the sale
of other Organs, we do fully warrant every Organ
for the period of five years, (at our own expense.)
We have no agent in Huntingdon at present,there
fore all who may want one of the best Organs ex

may be made, to which. we will give our personal
attention, and guarantee satisfaction,

WARNING.
ENERY cEsi
MANY Cresoces of this county who, had been
persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines,
which seemed at first to work well on a tolerable
range of work, have expressed to me their regrets
that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma
chine—the best in the world—had not been brought
to their notice before purchasing.. And judging
from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe
machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the
people of this county have lost more than ;25,000
by failing to get, at the first, the genuine Howe
Machine. It is made on sound mechanical prin
ciples, avoids rickety cog-wheels, and is so con
structed as to have perfect control by adjustment.
and provision made to restore lost motion when it
wears, thereby securing extraordinary durability.
and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now
as my traveling agents may not be able to visit
every person in time, and as many inferior ma
chines of different kinds are still being urged on
the public, I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before
you spend your time or money on any other ma
chine, the safest plan is, either to write to mo di
rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Elise
Howe, machine, from Brown's Carpet Store, Hun

SI RUP OF PUKE ROOT
Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu

Rheumatism. With all this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Cue,
Lee, King, Wilson, M. Hunt, Grilfits, Copland and
others,) who have tooted its medical powere; it
has been neglected by the profession at large, as
much through a want of a proper appreciation of
ita merits, as a knowledge of the proper way to
prepare it for medical use. Dr. Oliver Crook, (a
physician who devotes his entire Greet° the duties
of his profession), has fully tested the active med
ical qualities of Poke Root during the last 25
years, and unh , sitatingly pronounces it to have

forms of ilkeape.
No Person too tote these Bitters according to
directions, and remain long unwell, provided their

means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the
point of repair.

Taste in the Mouth, Billions Attack., I alpitation
of the Heart, Indentation of the Lungs, Pain in
the regions in the Kidneys, and a hundred other
painful sy tapiocas, are the ofisprings of Depcpsia.
in these complaints it has no equal, and one bot
tle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than
a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Complaints, in young or old, mar
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
tur.. of lite, these Tonic Bitters display no decided
an intluence th.it a marked improvement is soon
perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rhestmatiint and
flout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Limit
tent and Intermittent F. vers. Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters
have been most suecess.ul. Such Diseases ive
soused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally pro
duced by derangement of the Digestive Organs.
They ore a Gentle Partiatire as well its a Tosde,
possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a
powerful agent in relieving Congestion of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.

Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald..fiend, Sure Eyes,

of these Bitters. One bottle in such eases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find
its impuritie- bursting through the skin in Pim

tt obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
when it is foul; your feelings will ;ell you when.
Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.

more effectually titan any
Pin, Tope, - and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. hays a distinguished phy
siologist: There is scarcely an individual upon
the lace of the earth whose body is exempt from
the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy
elements of the body that worms exist, but upon
the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed
these living monsters of disease. No system of
Medicine, no vermifuge,.no anthclminities, will
free the system from worms like these Bitters.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged in Paints
and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life,
will be subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To
guard against this take a dose of Walker's Vinegar
Bitters once or twice a week, as a preventive.
Has cured cases of
Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fecers, which
are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially aose of

Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,
Roanoke, James, and many others, with their
vast tributaries, throuebout our entire country
during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably
FO du ing seasons of unusual heat and dryness,
are invariably accompanied by extensive derange
ments of the stomach and liver, and other abdom
inal viscera. There are always more or less ..13-
etructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable
state of the stomach, and great torpor of the bow
els, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations.
In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a power
ful influence upon these various organs, is essen
tially necessary. There is no cathartic for the
purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the towels are loaded, at
the same time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy func
tions of the digestive organs.

Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous sys
tem, stomach, and bowels, either from infatua
tion, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Ir
ritant influence extends throughout the system.
Their Diuretic properties act on the Kidneys, cor
recting and regulating the flow of urine. Their
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the
secretion of bile, and its discharges through the
bibliary ducts, and are superior to all remedial
agents, for the cure of Bilious Fever, Fever and
Ague, etc.

PERFUMERY ;
Fortify the hod, against disease by purifying all

nerves are rendered disease-proof by this great
invigorant.
