FARMER'S §RPARTMCUT.
Wliy Dees not Fanning ray ?
Tt is a common remark that " farming does
not pay,'' that " r.o money is made by farming,"
and some say that all a farmer con do is to
live ; i. e., " by hard work and rigid economy,
lie can manage io stay." Now it dees appear
strange that a b'l.-incrs so extensively practis
ed as fanning—so essential to human progress
and improvement —a business that employs
nearly seven-eighths of all the capital invested
in stocks, should not pay. It is evident to
every reflecting ihlnd that if farming does not
pay it is because those engaged in it are not
as well educated and fitted lor their vocation
as arc mechanics, artisan? and commercial men.
One prominent reason why farming does not
pay is that many of those who engage in it
have no special preparation for it. In all
other vocations, whether mechanical, commer
rial, educational, railroading, keeping books,
or whatever el?'* it may be. a special prepara
tion is considered not only as heing necessary,
but indispensable. Yet any one who is unfit
for anything else, aye, and everything else, will
do for a farmer. Here is one cause why farm
ing does not pay. Another is found in tradi
tional farming. Too many farmers do as their
predecessors did, without duly considering
whether there be a better way. Such do not
know the advantages of the rotation of crops
Another reason why farming does not pay
is that those who engage in it seem to think
that *25 bushels of corn, 10 bushels of rye, *2O
bushels of oats, 150 bushels of potatoes, one
ton of hay, <tc., per acre, is a fair yield. It is
readily granted that such farming will not pay
so long as a skillful fatoning will produce 100
bushels of corn, 30 bushels of rye, 80 bushels
of oats, 500 bushels potatoes, 3 tons of hay,
Ac., per acre. These latter are no fanciful
estimates, for more has actually been produc
ed per acre by fanners in the Eastern States,
even of each of these several products.
These facts show the importance of good
tillage, and who does not know that such will
pay ? If any doubt, let them try it before
they query whether farming will pay, and af
ter trying it they will no longer heard saying
that they can only "manage to stay" on the
" old Homestead." Good, skillful, economi
cal farming will pay ; it. has. always paid ; and
there is no doubt that it always will pay.—
Ktingims?, however, is not economy as toe ma
ny seem to believe.
Many farmers pride themselves on getting
along with very little help, with the purchas
ing of little or no manure, aivd call this good
management,—mismanagement it should be
called—whereas it should be the purpose of
every farmer to see how ranch labor can be
profitably employed, what amount of special
fertilizers can be so used as to return a divi-
dend on the money thus invested. Farming
when thus conducted does pay, and will al
ways pay.
In order to make fanning 1 profitable, a spe
cial education is as necessary as for any other
business. Xot that every farmer should be a
good chemist, or skilled in any or all of the
sciences. This is as iinpossbilo as it should be
deemed impracticable and unnecess iry. K now
ledgc ami skill in husbandry are best acquired
on the farm, as developed by experience, by
the experience of our best fanners. Much
may also be acquired by careful observation
and conversation with such as arc engaged in
making successful experiments, such as are ad
vancing the art of productive tillage.
When you hear a husbandman saying that
" farming docs nat pay," you should general
ly regard it as being equivalent to a confes
sion of the want of skill or of industry in his
chosen avocation. Labor and capital, when
rightly used, will pay in agriculture as in the
oilier industrial arts. Forget not that special
preparation and skill are as essential in this
as in every other business. Away with the
absurd notion that a man that is good for noth
ing else will do for a farmer Then shall wo
have more successful farmers and hear less
about unprofitable farming.— Cor. Mass,
rioumzn.
SALERATCS. —One LADY fends you a roeeipt
for corn cakes, where a table-spoonful of sale
ratus is used—another tries it and pronounces
it Now if this is the experience of your
contributors and readers, I fear they are un-
consciously doing an injury to their families.
When it is used in very small quantities to
neutralize an acid, a little may not be injur
ious, but housekeepers often use it injudicious
ly, without understanding the amount neces
sary to produce that effect, and the result is
not only unpalatable food, but a substance is
formed which is injurious to health. Physi
cians in New Brunswick say that mothers kill
half their children by using it so liberally in
bread and cake. When a merchant there
sells a barrel of flour, lie always sells a bucket
of saleratus, and a family of five or six persons
will use from ten to twenty pounds a year.—
Corn cake, biscuit, and sweet cake saturated
with it ought to be banished from our tables,
and good bread, light biscuit and simple fruit
substituted. The effect of a reform here would
be to lessen labor ia preparing meals, while it
would expel a slow poison. Will not house
keepers think of this .' " A word to the wise
is sufficient.''
FROZEN* POTATOES. —An exchange says :
We arc assured by one who has tried the ex
periment, that potatoes, though frozen ever so
hard, if put into boiling hot water, without
previous washing iacold, arc as sweet and pala
table as though the frost had not touched them.
Inasmuch as frozen potatoes are over-plenty
just now, many people will have an opportu
nity of trying the experiment.
To TAKE FROST OUT n? FRUIT. —Put your
cans iu a tub, and pour water from a well,
spring or cistern over them until covered.—
Let them remain in the water say tenor twelve
hours when all the frost will lie removed.—
Frost may be extracted from apples and po
tatoes by submitting them to the same process.
CHATTED HANTS.—A salve made of bees
wax and sweet oil v is as good as anything ; a
piece of wax of the size of a hickory nut. melt
with an ouuee of oil ; apply after a thorough
cleansing in soap suds, just before going to beiM
—
FOR A CCT WITH A KNIFE. —Bind the wonnd
while the blood is flowing, with brown sugar,
thoroughly wet in spirits of camphor ; do not
remove it till the third or fourth day.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT & TO-&FRQ ELECTRO' MAGNETIC MACHINE.
TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect
• I fully informs tiie public tii.it lie has lately procured
from New Vork the cele'cated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to he one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ab.iity to extract
minerals from the human system.
borne eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extra ting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently. M. Verges, of New York
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
noi.sonotis minerals into his system in the prosecution of
nis art, conceived the i.ic.i of'removing them by the same
proce--.es, he succeeded in doing so. and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected. with like results. His success exceeded his uioct
sanguine expectat ions, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which
wore the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sir
gulsr power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
nils accumulating in the system lor years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead. Ac. A-c.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis. Palsy, Painter's i'holic,
f'hronic Fleers, (jlandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Ncuralia iu all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also P. B. Smith'snrwlv invented DIRECT AND
TO-AND FRO ELECTRO M AON KIT (' MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts Hf
fectod, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at mv house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are
fa; able by reason of disease to come to this place, at nio
mlerato prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS,
