SELECTION OF A FARM. —ln the selection of!
lu:ii for a farm there nrc thoughts and things
to be taken into consideration thn' a volume |
would scarcely serve to discuss, yet tome of
them may be j rofiiably (tinted at within the
limits which here circutaserilie us. What is
a farm f should first be asked ; for iu the con- ,
siderution of any subject it is time well aj
plied which is sj>eit in getting a cleur iden. of j
the iccrd which names it. A farm, lor us,
means a portiou of land cultivated and man
aged by the orrver, who lives upon it ; and
hence it takes in the thought of home, so that
hi mesttad is almost a synonomous term. Hence
among things to be considered in the choice of
a farm, we shall say :
1. The farm should be pleasantly situated as \
0 home. The health, comfort and happiness
of those who are to occupy it are of prime im
portance —so every social and physical influence
which bear upon them should have due weight
iu determining a choice. However fertile a
farm may be, if the locality is jin unhealthy
one, it cannot make a home. If fertile and
healthy, but surrounded by a moral miasma—
or with but few social privileges and advan
tages—itjcaiinot be a pleasant home.
2. The farm should be in agreement with the
means and circumstances of the owner. A
farmer needs capital as well as land in order
to operate profitably. The great error of Ame
rican husbandry is that farms arc almost uni
verwlly too large for the labor and capital at
the command of those who carry tlicm on.
Hence arises a train of evils which we have
often sought to bring before our readers.
3. The farm should be suited to the products
proposed—and these should conform with the
demands of the market, and the taste and ex
perience of the owner. Some farms are best
calculated for grain-growing, others still
for stock and grain-growing. In many locali
ties these may be profitably combined, and
land secured which shall be appropriated to
such a course of husbandry. The recent great
increase in the facilities of transportation, iu
flucnecs a large extent of country, and many
places, heretofore of small value on account of
distance from market, have now become desi
rable for farming purposes. Still, it is worthy
to be thought of, whether it will cost ten cents
or one hundred to bring a product before the
consumer, and the value of a farm will depend
materially upon the expense of intercommuni
cation. The domestic demand is also of im
portance, and always exists, varying with lo
cality. The taste and experience of the far
mer should of coutse influence his choice—he
will be most successful who is most favora
bly and agreeably situated, aud who best knows
how to employ the advantages at his eom
nucd.
Other influences exist and should be con
sidered—these we have rather hinted at than
discussed —we prefer to leave the latter to our
readers. If we cuu only start topics in such a
way as to call out and suggest further thinking
by those who read, our object will bo accom
plished.—Rural New Yorker.
THE FARMER'S FUTCRE. — An English cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, expa
tiates on the prospective introduction of steam
power as an aid in agricultural operations as
follows :—The Farmer's Future will be found
in the ajrplieation of steam to the cultivator of
the soil ! We nrc rapidly coming to the con
clusion here, that the good old plow is a hum
bug. We begin to think that spade-husband
rv applied by steam is the right thing ; indeed,
there are some among us of the opinion that a
machine may be invented which should, in
effect, plow, sow, harrow and roll altogether—
a machine, in fact, which should make a seed
bed and sow the seed ail ut one operation.
There lias already been one steam-engine ex
hibited in this country which will walk any
where, and do anything it is required to do.
It has feet about the size of yours, Sir, and it
puts them down upon the grouud, one after
the other, very much in the fashion of a dun
dy going up Broadway, only the feet of the
machine are fixed on wheels, and revolve regu
larly, instead of moving up and down awk
wardly, like his. This machine will go through
a plowed field very comfortably, and rather
quicker than a good hunter will get over it ;
and as it will drag a dozen plows after it I do
not see, for my part, why it should not be made
to carry, as part and parcel of itself, a mecha
isin that will readily convert the untillcd ground
into a seed-bed. Well, then as to drainage,
1 saw a machine the other day that would dig,
drain, and lay down sixteen and a half feet of
piping per minute, the pipes rather more regu
larly and satisfactorily laid than any skilled
workman can lay them. The machine labor
ed under the disadvantage of being cumbrous,
and of being made to be worked by a stationa
ry engine. But having got thus far, it seems
to be only one step futlier to give us steam ap
plication to the soil so as to enable twenty
times the quantity of land to be put under
cultivation by the same amount of labor, and
at no greater cost than now. Then we may
hope for a produce of cheap corn, the great
desideratum in this land of sweat and toil,
where it depends upon a shilling or two, more
or less, in the price of food, not only whether
a matt can reap the advantages of "his labor,
but absolutely too often, whether he can con
tinue to exist.
Yes, to the application of improved machine
ry to the earth must we look for an accession
of home comforts, of world-wide prosperity, of
universal happiness ! To Thee ! O, bountiful
God of Nature, we offer our first thanks that
Thou hast given us the great seed bed where
on we live and move, and whence we have our
being. To Industry be given our next best
tribute, and then lot us thank Art and Sci
ence that teach us how to make the best uses
of the means so bountiful I v placed at our dis
posal."
To EXTRACT GREASE FROM CLOTH. —The
following is infallible : To sixteen ounces of
rectified spirits of wine add ten grains of car
bonate of potash, (pure.) half an ounce of es
esntial oil of Bcrgamot,and one ounce of sul
phuric ether ; mix and keep in a glass-stoj p r
ed bottle. Apply with a piece of sponge,
soaking the cloth thoroughly when the grease
is not recent. The mixture emits a peculiarly
fragrant odor and being a fluid soap, chemi
cally composed, will be found a perfect solvent
of oily matter.
iHy* Griff is bad for digestion. Lose a
pocket-book containing two fifties and a ten
aud you will not care for food the next three
days.

Hehthold't Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract Ruchu,
for Diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Disease,
Stricturea, Weaknesses, and all Disease* of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vita! fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in tne hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring'falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
ouainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
tne selection of a remedv in these cases.
The fluid extract Bucfm has been pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disea-e in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, anil blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive
HEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sarsaparilia.
For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising
from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in
life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from an im
pure stale of the blood, and the only reliable and effect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula, Salt lihcum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and 1/egs, Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the face
and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now prescribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa
parilia yet ofllred to the public. Several cases f secon
dary Syphilic, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti
tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of
treatment that could be devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the
glands were destroyed aud the bones already affected.

fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cures
from patients will be found accompanying both prepara

Time Money, and Labor Saved
BY USING THE GERMAN CHEMI
caI Krasive Soap. Made from a German process,
and, as believed, not known to any other manufacturer
in the United States. The proprietors having tested this
article in various ways during the past six months now
offer it to the public as possessing the following advan
tages over other washing snaps :
Ist. It may be used equally well with hard or (tort wa
ter.
2.d It requires but half the quantity required of other
soap to accomplish the same object.
3d. Clothes need no boiling and but little rubbing
(most arlicles none,) thus avoiding their wear upon a
wash board. 1
4th. It requires less than one half the time and labor to
do the washing of a family, that it requires with the best
family soap ; does not Injure the fabric and tends to set
the colors.
- VIV .'' ? r V ,e * n ' n ft Paints, and removing Grease, Tar
and Printer s Ink. it io unsurpassed.
tith. One pound will go ax far, for any use, ax 3 pounds
pf common rosin soap, or 2 pounds of best family soap—
? an v Painters will find it an invalua
ble article for washing hands—as it docs not chap, but
softens the skin. r
