farmer's §tgartmtul.
To Our Agricultural Readers,
Tliis portion of our paper, we intend hereaf
ter to devote exclusively to the publication of
urth les designed for the instruction and bone
lit of those who till the soil. We design to
make this department of the Reporter of ser
vice to those who take an interest in such mat
ters, by careful selections from the best Agri
cultural journals of the day. Such we have in
our reach, and ve shall publish only such por
tions as are of general practical value, and ap
plicable to our climate, soil and production?.
Many of the Agricultural publications now
published, are almost useless to our farmers,
because of the abstruse and highly scicntliic
manner in which they treat subjects. The
knowledge they impart Is of value only to those
in the neighborhood of large towns, w here an
a lysis of the soil, expensive experiments, and
costly machinery and fertilizers can only be
made profitable. What our readers want, if
the plain, every day experience of working
men, not the vain theories of visionary dream
crs. They want that kind of information whicl
one fanner communicates to his neighbor, whu
describing the mode of culture bv which hi
has raised an unusually large crop, or the pro
cess by which he has fattened his cattle. Il
will be our care to cull from the sources v ithii
our reach, practical hints for farmers, recipes
Ac. We shall endeavor to make this depart
ment of the Reporter worth more to every in
tclligent farmer, than the price, per year.
We also invite the contributions of tho.-e in
forested iu Agricultural progress, and arc wi!
ling to communicate useful hints for the beneii
of others. We will cheerfully give place tc
communications upon any of the topics of in
terest to farmers. Bradford is taking a higl
rank amongst the Agricultural Counties of tb<
Commonwealth, and the display at her annua
fairs, is second to that of no other County.—
Surely there are those amongst her intelligcn
and enterprising population who are able am
willing to instruct others, by detailing the me
thods by which they have been successful. T<
any who may have such a desire, we tendc
the use of our columns.

THE HUSBANDMAN.
BY STERLING.
Earth of man the bounteous mother,
Feeds him still with corn and wine;
He who best would aid a brother,
Shares with liini this gift divine.
Many a power within her bosom.
Noiseless, hidden, works beneath;
Hence are seed, and leaf, and blossoms,
Golden ear and clustered wreath.
These to swell with strength and beauty
Is the royal task of man;
Man's a king, his throne is Duty,
Since his work on earth began.
Bud and harvest, bloom and vintage.
These, like man, are fruits of earth;
Stamped in clay, a heavenly mintage,
All from dust receive their birth.
Barn, and mill, and wine-vat's treasures,
Earthly goods for earthly lives;
These are Nature's ancient pleasures,
These her child from her derives.
What the dream, but vain rebelling,
If from earth we sought to flee ?
'Tis our stored and ample dwelling,
'Tis from it the skies we see.
Wind and frost, aud hour and season.
Land aud water, sun and shade, —
Work with these, as bids thy reason,
For they work thy toil to aid.
Sow thy seed and reap in gladness 1
Man himself is all a seed;
Hope and hardship, joy and sadness,
Slow the plant to ripeness lead.
The Prosperous Farmers.
What happy fellows the farmers must be
now. Hard tunes! Hard times! is the inces
sant ery of the merchant, manufacturer and
mechanic. Business is nearly prostrate,—
money at a premium of thirty per eent., and
not to be had at that, without first class colla
terals, princely firms of half a century's stand
ing are tottering, falling, and carrying distress
and rain to all uround them, —giant manufac
tories suspending operations,—workshops,
closing, food of all kinds exorbitantly high,—
thoasauds of mechanics and laboring men, with
tens of thousands of helpless ones dependent
upon them, without employiuenu, and with no
immediate prospect of securing any, and to add
to the chilling gloom of the picture, cold cheer
less wiuter encircling us in his icy arms.—
When, before, have we fallen noon such evil
times?
In the midst of all this desolation and dis
tress the farmer stands the only man in the
whole community upon whom prosperity and
success deign to smile. While the merchant
tosses uneasily upon his pillow, with visions of
■notes (hie, and nothing to meet them, hard
hearted creditors, bankruptcy and ruin floating
through his brain, the farmer with an untroubled
heart scans his broad acres, and looks the
future in the eye with an unblanched cheek.—
While the industrious mechanic, with a wife
and children wholly dependent npon his exer
tions, turns with a sail heart front the work
shop, where, a few months since, his skill and
ingenuity had guaranteed him a comfortable
support at least, and surveys the- cheerless
prospect before him, not knowing where tlie
next dollar to purchase food and l'ucl for the
helpless and loved ones at home is to come
from, the farmer turns to his mother earth, as
an infant to the maternal breast, knowing that
in her ample bosom abundance may always be
found.
Such contrasts are painful, but they arc in
structive. They serve to show how strong and
steadfast is the man whose success iu life is de
pendent, not upon the iluctations of stocks, or
the risks and perplexities of trade, but upon
the soil, the grateful soil, which like un honest
employer, pays the full value for every hour's
labor bestowed upon it. Think of these things,
ve wh are longing for the excitements of citv
life, with the hope of realizing fortunes iu ii
dav.
Ylear Mr. Holcomb on this subject.
"I will trust to my farm, I see it will at j
least support me and mine, I will even lend it i
dollar I can apar&. Yes, we rnav trust 1
thcl and. The banks and the railroads, the
stock and tho scrip, may or may not pay us
back, but this nursing mother will fulfil all her
promises, honor all drafts. en may draw on
her at six months for your at crop, and at
nine months for your corn crop, and at twelve
monl!is for your "wheat crop, and if from any
great calaniitv, as the drouth or the flood, site
cannot always fully pay up on the day, she
will make a handsome instalment, ask a little
time, and then pay up to the last farthing, aud
if von have been generous to her, maybe she
will make you a handsome present besides."
Take Good Care of ycur Implements.
In primitive times when agricultural opera
tions were carried on with a few rude imple
ments, tho words of advice contained in the
heading of this article were unnecessary. The
sickle, t'la.i, plow and harrow comprised nearly
the w hole of tho early husbuiulraua's stock of
implement. and these w ere of such rude con
struction, that but little care was needed to
protect them from injury. With the farmer
the present day the case is widely different.—
The numbi r of implements required to conduct
the ordiuajv operations of a large farm, is not
only great, but many of thorn arc of a char
acter requiring considerable care aud attention,
not merely iu operating them, but in protecting
them from damage when aot in actual use.—
Although most of the business of the farm is
simple in character, requiring simpb and strong
: implements and machinery, still important and
complicated working parts have-been introduc
ed into many of Lite agricultural machines of
: modern invention, upon the keeping of which
iu complete order, depends the p affect working
;of the w hole. These more delicate parts, arc
unfortunately the very ouc-s most likely to be
neglected. The machine works badly in con
| sequence, and the result is, that it is either
: thrown aside as unfit for use, or returned to
I the manufacturer, the lat'. r being the course
i most generally pursued. While we are pre
pared to admit that many manufacture? of ag
ricultural implements deserve to have their ar
ticles thrown back upon their hands, on ac
i count of their flimsy construction, we have
j equally good reasons for asserting that the dif
ficulty docs not lie wholly in that direction.—
Farmers as a general thing are tou negligent
i with their tools. How frequently a;e plows
, and harrows p< rmitled to rest aud ru-t in the
fence corners of the fields in which they were
last used, from fall to spring and from spring
; to fall again. Spade-, shovels and hoes are
1 not deemed worthy a shelter from the weather,
i while athcr implements share the same fate.—
i Hood Mr. Farmer this is all wrong, aud you
i are more frequently In error than you suppose,
S when you charge the imperfections of your own
i farming machinery wholly to the manufacturer,
| and not iu some degree at least to yourselves.
| Take our advice, and have all your moveable
| implements carefully cleaned, examined and
j stored away iu their appropriate place, just as
i soon us you arc done with tlicui for the season,
| Wash the dirt from your plows, and while the
mold-board and the landside are bright, apply
a light coat of good oil. This will save the
trouble of repolishing, when wanted for next
season's plowing. Examine your mowers and
reapers when harvesting is completed, repair
damages, oil the knife and those parts which
revolve, and wear rapidly, and the first time
you are in town, purchase a paint pot, paint
aud brush, and the very first leisure half day
you have, give all the wood work of your ma
chines a coat of paint, and then, store them
away carefully in their yroper place. Pursue
this plan with all your implements, aud our
word for it, your complaints against the manu
factureers will be less frequent. Drought and
rain affect implements injuriously, and a good
coat of paint serves to protect them iu a great
degree from bad effects of both.
A celebrated English Agriculturist express
es our views so clearly 0:1 this subject, that we
commend his remarks to the careful attention
of our readers, lie says: '• L would advise
farmers to contrive by care and good manage
ment, to make their implements durable, as pos
sible. The cost of this will be trifling, compar
ed with the advantages. In order to effect it,
select the most likely laborer on the farm; put
the implements under his care and make it a
strict rule with all the men, that each imple
ment done with fort lie season, shall be brought
to one particular place, say near the pond <r
pump, the mau having charge of the imple
ments must then w ash and clean them well be
fore putting them into the shed, aud at a con
venient time, when not otherwise engaged, or
in weather when out door v. oik cannot be per
formed, get them repaired, and paint them.
The man should be encouraged to make his du
ty u pleasure, and 10 feel a pride iu showing
employers implements iu line order." Such
advice doubtless sounds strangely in the ears
of many farmers; but it is sound and judicious,
and if followed strictly, there will be fewer
complaints in regard to the durability of farm
ing implements.
TIIE FARMER.—IT does your heart good to
see a merry fat round-faced farmer— M> inde
pendent, and yet so free from vanity and pride ;
so rich, and yet so industrious—.so patient aud
persevering iu his noble calling, and yet so kind
and obliging. There are a thousand noble
traits about his character which are rarely met
with in city life. YOll may eat and drink with
han and lie won't set a mark 011 you and swear
it out of you with compound interest—he is
hospitable. He will do you kindness without
expecting a return byway of compensation—
he is generous ; not so with everybody. lE
is generally more honest and sincere and gives
society it- best support —is the firmest pillar
that support- the government.
Y\ ooi.r.x RAGS FOR MANTRE. —The 11-e of
woolen rag- for manure is well known. When
once decompose 1 they act very powerfully, but
the decomposition is slow, and they are not
easily spread uniformly on land. Mons. (Joubin
therefore treats the rags with weak caustic so
da lye, and dries them. They are afterwards
pulverized, passed through sieves, and in that
condition put on land. This manure- is well
suited for turnips, beets, and all such parts as
require a short time for their development.

IYKRS PILLS.
\ND CHERRY PECTORAL—The fol
-1 _l_ \. lowing remedies arc offered to the public as the licst,
' most jierfcct, which medical science can afford. AVKK S
! CATIIARTK' PILLS have been prepared with the utmost
! skill which the medical profession of this age possesses.
1 and their effects show they have virtues which .-oi |>as-
I any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other jire
! jiarntions do more or lea good ; but this cures -ueli d.lll
- gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prow- an
i efficacy and a jiower to uproot disease bevond any thing
i wh'eh'men have known before. By removing the obstruc -
tions o the internal organs and' stimulating them into
i healthv action, they renovate the fountains of life and
i visor-'-bealth courses anew through the body, and the
I sick man is well again. They are adapted to disc.i e,and
< disease or.lv. for when taken by one in health they jno-
I dnce but little effect. This is the perfection of medicine.
< It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender c-hil
■ then mav take thern with impunity. If they are sick they
will cure them, if they are well they will do them 11 >
I harm.
Give them to .some patient who has been prostrated with
I bilious complaint; see his bent-np, tottering form struiglit
-1 en with strength again ; .-cc hi- long-lost a|q>ctite ret in ;
see his clammy features blos-om into health. Give them
j to some sufferer whose foul blood has lair-t out in scrofula
; till his skin is covered with sores ; who stands, or -its, or
1 lfes in anguish. He has been drenched inside and out with
i exery every potion vv'iieh ingenuity could suggest. Give
him these I'ills, and mark the effect ; see the scabs fall
i from his body ; see the new, fair skin that ha- grown un
! der them ; see the late lejicr that is clean. Give them to
j him whose angry htinmrs have planted rheumatism in his
; juiiit- and bones : move him, and lie screeches with pain :
1 he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body
with liuaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
' his blood j they uiay not cure him, for olas! there ca-e
-i which no mortal jiower can reach : but mark, he walks
! with crutches now, and now he walkes alone ; tliey have
! cured him. Give them to the lean, sour,haggard dyspep
tic. whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every
smile from liis face and every muscle from his body. Sc •
his appctfte return, and with it his health; seethe new
man. See lu-i that was radiant with health and! ivelii e.-s
b1.!.-ted ami too early withering away ; want of exerci-e.
! or mental anguish, or some lurking di-ea e lias deranged
the internal organ* of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,
tili they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,
her health is gone. Give her the-e Pills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to east out the obstruc
tion-. and infti.-c a new vitality into the i.!c <!. X cw look
again—the roses blossom on her cheek, ami where sorrow
sat. joy bursts front every feature. See the sweet infant
wasted witli worms. It- wan. sickly features tell you
! without disguise, and painfully di.-linc t. that they areeut-
I ine it- life away. lt< jciu hed-oji n-c and ears, and ro-t
j le-s-leejiings. tell the dread'el truth in language which
every mother knows. Give it tin: l'ilis in large doses to
sweep these vile parasites from the Isccly. \ turn again
and sec the ruddy Ido-ini of childhood. Is it nothing to
do these things ?* Nay. are they not the marvel of litis
age'! And yet they are done around you every day.

DK. HALBEYS' FOREST WINE—The
( discovery of the FOREST NYIXK is the greatest bles
sing of the age. Pet up in Quart Buttles, a single liottle
of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of
Disease, than tan bottles of auy Sarsaparilla in use, ami
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
effect.
The method by which all S.u—apariHas. ami otlicr simi
lar medicine- are prepared, is by'boiling the Knots ot plants
to obtidn tlie extraets. Their nusli-iual virtues are thus
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20
bottles of these Sarsaparill i- are - onetime- taken with "at
any perceptible benetit. Not so with the Forc.-t Wine.-
Hy tlie invention of a Avnndcrftil chemical apparatus, a p.- -
feet wine is produced without beating: retaining, at the
same time, all the primitive healing properties o! tin; rate
medicinal plants of which it is eomp '-i d. thus rcudciiuo
the Forest NN'L.e the most efficient inci!i< itie the world tver
prodneeil, at the same time time the most a'Tceaklc.
