The Huntingdon Journal. farm anb rpoustigib.. Renovating Worn Soi!s. From the Country Gentleman.] Crasoo asks for information in regard to renovating land by feeding instead of plowing under clover. This has often been answered, but will as often be asked as new farmers begin work. I have had experience in this line, dating from the beginning of my active life. I began with a naturally barren soil and raised it to average productiveness Now that I am pretty well used up, body and mind, with excessive toil, I want to say to all to let such farms and soils alone until nature and wild beasts have reclaimed them. There is enough good land in this country to produce all the markets require; there fore use your health and strength in work ing land which will pay now as you g n along, instead of wearing yourself out in work for which the distant future alone can reward you. In the present state of the markets, and probably for years to come, poor land will not pay for the work. ing, and I know from hard experience that a renovated farm costs more in the end than one which needs nothing but well directed labor to insure a remunera tive crop. The only exception to this rule with me is when the public health requires the reclamation of marsh or swamp land, or where .some wealthy phil anthropist wishes to give employment to the deserving poor, and at the same time indulge his desires for farm life. This may be at variance with some of the teach ings of oar paper, and my own also, yet it is ray candid opinion. Still, if one has a farm which' must be renovated throughout and cannot sell it, let him make the best of it and endeavor to so improve it that it will pay and become more desirable. I never grew clover for the sole purpose of plowing . under. It has always been necessary to save it for hogs. My practice has been to seed heavy with clover and timothy, so that if one failed the other would occupy the ground. I never mow but once in a year, and never pasture the first year. If the land is intended for meadow and tillage, no stock is ever allow ed to pasture it. One great cause of fail ure is pasturing the first year and taking off the second crop on poor land ; especially pasturing with cattle after haying. Anoth er cause is allowing the sod to grow too long. In improving land with clover, the rule must be to break up and seed down as often as possible. It should not in any case exceed two years in grass, and if possible only one, and only two crops of grain inns's, be taken off before re-seeding: This is very important. If the seed fails to grow, sow it again in the fall and harrow iu. If the land is pastured, it is deprived of protection for winter, which is worth double the profit derived. Cattle bite off and tread and destroy the crop at the very time it needs the most care and as sistance. As a clover plant arrives at maturity the second year, the greatest benefit is derived from plowing it then. Only two crops should be taken off, for then the land is right side up, with rotted turf just where it is wanted. Apply to this all the manure it is possible to pro cure, anct reseed. Three rotations like this plowi❑g no more than can be top dressed when seeded, will make any land which is not entirely barren produce good crops. In all my experience in working every kind of soil known in eastern New York, I have never met with one which was really barren. The difficulty seems to be, not the absence of plant food, but its availability. The subsoil is too wet, cold or compact, and must be drained or gradually deepened. Perhaps the land by long cultivation has become deprived of vegetable matter; this must be supplied by turning down clover very often. All the land needs is thorough and scientific cultivation to produce a bountiful crop As a rule, poor crops are more chargeable to the farmer than to the farm. In look ing back over my life, I see three kinds of farmers—the old fogy, who does so because his father did F j the theoretical man, who has a hobby to ride, and who will ride it everywhere, and the true en lightened scientific farmer, who uses the ability, energy and common se❑se which insures success where success is attainable. Some day I may give my experience in these methods and' the results. Farmers Should Think. ea There is no business with which I am a'quainted which affords greater scope for thought or which is more provocative of reflection, than farming. The careful farmer must be daily meeting with sub jects which challenge thought and require the most profound study. Farmers ought to be the most thoughtful class of people in the country. The balancing of cause and effect in a business wherein a thous and causes are operating, demands more thought and a wore philosophical mind than any other business whatever. It is possible for farmers to get into the ruts, and go in the beaten track year after year, without thought; but such farmers are not successful, and each year are becoming so. Whenever the farmer gets out of the ruts —ceases to do things because it has always been the practice—he necessarily has to think. It is pretty safe to say that such farmers will be sure to want all the agricultural books and papers they can get. And as thinking men ultimately must always supplant those who do not think, the problem how farming is to be made successful and the farmer more hon ored, will be settled, as so many like prob lems have been, by the Darwinian law— "the survival of the fittest."—Count 1.11 Gentleman. • WILKINs has quit the study of botany now.

It - nunb'tic JOrtsik Drawing Nigh to God The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.—Ps xxxiv-18. We have all been taught from our earliest years to speak to God, to lift up our voices in prayer for him, and thus to draw nigh to him. And never dO we seem nearer to him than when we are lifting up our 'hearts to him in prayer. It is a blessed thing to draw near to God. btiil more blessed is it to know that he draws near to us, as he has promised in his word —•`Draw nigh to God and lie will draw nigh unto you." (Jas. iv. 8.) But it is also a solemn thing to speak to God. How shonld we approach him ? In what man ner. When may we know and feel that he is also at the same time drawing nigh unto us ? The parable of the Pharisee and publican will, I think, help us to answer these questions. In Luke xviii. we have two pictures, drawn side by side, showing a contrast which makes us pause, consider, -look again, and seek to view them in every light, till we have discovered the various points of difference, and learned the cause of them. We read of two men, both in one place, and both doing one thing, speaking to the same person ; yet how very different are they ? They have different thoughts, different feelings, and a differ ent manner. Both went up into God's house, the temple; both went thither to pray—to speak to Gud, and ask him to be gracious—• Two men went up in the tem ple to pray, the one the Pharisee and the other a publican." But how did they address God ? In what spirit ? In what state of mind ? Let us look at each indi vidual in turn. One was a Pharisee—and, if he was like the rest of his sect, he would be not a god less, careless, irreligious man, caring for neither God nor man, or living only for day, but very strict, doing all that he thought he ought.to do, very particular in religious ceremonies, regular in fasting twice a week, and saying his prayers each day at the appointed hours, whenever he thought he ought; honest and just in his dealings, kind to the poor, giving tithes of all he possessed ; till, as with most other Pharisees, every one would think, "What a good man!" and he himself, feel self satisfied, thinking, "I am a very good man : I am not as other men are, I am better than other men !" This man must certainly have thought that he was fit for heaven because he was so good. We must conclude so ; for even when he went. into God's house to pray, such a thought was uppermost in his mind. He had no sense of sin, he saw no need fur humility ; he scarcely even asked fur par don, for help, for grace. No; he thought he was already holy, and could not wish for more. He compared himself with those around him, and was happy to think himself beyond them all And now he could only thank God that it was so. He ‘‘stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fiist twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess " But this is not a prayer acceptable to God. God knew that man's heart., and judged ai.cordingly. Wilt thou be made Whole ? Wilt thou be made whole ? Wilt thou give up thine own head, thine own heart, thine own will, to the Lord Jesus, and let him mould and control and direct thee in head, heart, and wilt, henceforth in all things forevi.r ? No; thou wilt not so long as the head is filled with ideas of thine own to be fulfilled by the Lord That makes thee head ever Christ, and him thy follower. instead of giving him headship over thee. No, never ; until thy head is given up to Christ, to let Him, by the Holy Spirit, lead thee into his thoughts and purioses for thee. Wilt thou be made whole ? No, never while in thine heart thou art cherishing things of thine own ; never until thou givest thy heart as it is up into the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he may fill thee with the Spirit, and turn thee from things of thine own to the things that he will show thee. Wilt thou be made whole ? No, no ; never while thy will is set to have the Lord fulfill thy plans, and let thee choose for him what he shall do for thee and for others, and how he shall do it. No; never until thy will is given over to our Lord Jesus Christ, to be completely brought under and into the will of God, instead of trying to get him to do thy will . Wilt thou be made whole? Then let thy self go as thou art into the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ, and let him have thee in unlimited freedom, to lead thee by the Spirit into all truth, and show thee how completely thou halt been putting him who is first last, and making him thy follower , instead of giving him headship over all things in thee and thy life. This do, and in his name be it said, thou shalt be made whole.—Rev. 11'. E. Boardman, in Divine Advanced Physicians. Many of' the more advanced physicians, having found Dr. Pierce's Family Medi cines prompt and sure, prescribe them regularly in their practice. TWIN VILLE, Tenn., May 28th, 1877. DR. R. V.

LOUISVILLE, Kr., Feb. 16, 1677. MR. 11. R. STEVENS. Dear Sir,—Three years ago I was suffering terribly with Inflammatory Rheumatism. Our minister's wife advised use to take VEorrisz. After taking one bottle, I was entirely relieved. This year, feeling a return of the disease, I again commenced taking it, and am being ben etltted greatly. It also greatly illiprOVel my digestion. Respectfully, 3las. A. BALLARD. 1011 West Jefferson Strco. SAFE AND SURE, MR. 11. R. STEVENR. In 1872 your VEGETINE Vas recommended to me, and yielding to the persuasions of a friend, I consented to try it. At the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwork and ir regular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and cura tive properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose ; and under its persistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual healed and good feel lag. Since then I have not hesitated to give VEGETINE my must unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. VEGETINE is the only medicine I use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey Street, Allegheny, Penn. VEGETINE. The following letter from Rev. 0. W. Mansfield, for merly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled in Lowell, must convince every one who reads his letter of the wonderful curative qualities of VEGETINE as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood. HYDE PARK, MASS., Feb. 15, 1878. MR. li. R. STEVENS Dear Sir,—About ten years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspepsia ; nearly a year later I was attacked toy typhoid•fever in its worst form. It settled in my back, and took the form of a large deep seated abcess, which was fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skill in the State, but received no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times, I was constantly weaked by a pro fuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at differ ent times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874. when a friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of VEGETINE. I did so, and by your kindness passed through your 111411 U factory, noting the ingredients, &c., lry which your remedy is produced. By what 1 saw and heard I gained some confidence iu VEGETIN 5. I commenced it soon after, but felt worse from its ef fects; still I persevered, andsoon felt ii was benefiting me in other respects. Yet I did not see the results I de sired till I had taken it faithfully for a little more than a year, when the difficulty in the back was cured ; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part of my body. I to.ll lEsSTINE faithfully, and it removed it level with the surface in a month. I , hick I shou'd have been cured of my main trouble sooner if I had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney di sease understand that it takes time to cure chronic di seases; and, if they will patiently take Yew:TINE, it will, in my judgment, cure them. With great obligations, I am Yours very truly. G. W. MANSFIELD, PaNtor of the Methodist Episcopal Church VEGETINE Prepared by 11. IL STEVENS, Boston, Mass. VEGETINE IS SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS.

The other day a boy about fifteen years of age entered a grocery store on (}ratios avenue, and after looking around for a few minutes, he secreted a loaf of bread under his coat and started out. He was over hauled on the street by the grocer, who was shouting for an officer, when the lad's father came along and cried out : "What ! is it my Thomas ? Has my Thomas come to be a thief ? Take him to the station at once 1" "You want him locked up, do you ?" asked the grocer. "I do. A child of mine who steals shall go to prison. Thomas is a wild, bad boy." "And who has made me so ?" cried the boy, as he looked on the crowd. "Mother —mother died three years ago, and father there hasn't spoke a kind word to any of the children since 1 I haven't slept in the house for months! See here how he beats me ! Look at the bruises on my arms !" "Thomas, you know I'm kind to all of you," replied the father, as the lad bared his arms. "Kind ! Have you ever read a word to us about Heaven, as m—mother used to ? Have you ever seen her grave but once ? Have you sent us to school ? When I worked, haven't you pounded me till I gave up the money ?" "But—but, Thomas, you are a thief," stammered the father. "I—l haven't got a shirt to ay name," continued the boy as he threw open his coat, "and Sam and Mary are worse of, 'cause they are barefooted. There hasn't been fire or wood in our house for two days, and when I came here to steal that bread the children were in bed shivering and starving. If you don't believe it come with me !" The crowd believed it; there were tears in the boy's eyes and a quiver to his chin, and when the father went to remonstrate, a man in the crowd seized him, shook his heels in the air and yelled : "You old Satan, you are a loafer and a gutter drunkard, and I know it, and if you ever lay hand on one o' the children again I'll follow you to Texas but what I'll break every bone in your body " "Let the boy go !" cried the crowd, rad he was released. More, he was given more bread and provisions than he could. carry home at one load.—Free Press. A Story of a Trial.

They entered one of our stores, and asked : "What are ye given' for eggs ?" "Eight cents," was the reply of the counter-jumper. "Well, here are three dozen," said the fat party, "and .111 take it into calico." "But I want soma yarn to mend my socks," put in the old man.

Then turning to the clerk she chang ed her tune, and remarked : "Young man, please count me out the eggs and give me four yards of calico to match this 'ere dress." "But--" the old man was going to continue when she raised her huge index finger and said : "Henry Winter Devil Spriggins, them 'ere eggs are mine; the hens that laid 'em are mine ; the corn that fed 'em was mine; and I'se going to have a trail on this 'ere dress as long as Betsy Gowen's if every ,toe on your feet turn into gum biles.

When Collins went home to dinner Monday he found me house tenantless, the cook stove cold, and a lonesome look about that part of the Monday washing still left in the tub in the summer kitchen. Hurrying thrOugh to the back yard he saw his wife braced against the fence, holding to the end of a broken cl,..bes line to keep the newly washed garments from the ground. "You've got here at last, have you ?" exclaimed the wife as she caught sight of him. "Yes I'm here—what's the matter?" he repeated. "Here I've been holding this broken line for over an hour—over a full hour, sir !" she snapped. "I was determined to die right here before I'd let these clothes down 1" "But why didn't you call some one ?" he innocently inquired. "There's that new family next door—the woman would have come over in a minute." "Woman next door, you big idiot, you I Hasn't she been peeping round for two weeks to see my warsh, and d'ye think I'do give her a chance to come over here and see fbr herself whether the sleeves in my nightgown were pieced down with un bleached cotton !
