A Talk on Orderly Fanning.
There is so much disorderly ftirnvng in vogue,
we have thought we might do a useful scrvit e
in drawing a picture of the opposite ; we mean
u style of husbandry which has a place and
time for everything, and does everything in its
place and time ; which seeks, in short, to car
ry on ail the operations of the farm in the
best possible manner. It cannot be denied that
very many farmers lack the quality to which
we here allude. They plow and manure, and
rotate crops ; they buy, raise and sell stock,
and manage their house hold affairs very much
at hap-hazurd, with little forethought and
method. We are well aware that it is hard
to resist the power of bad examole ; that it is
easy to do as our fathers did before us, and as
our neighbors do around ; that unforseen cir
cumstances will arise to break in upon the
best matured system ; we admit all this, yet
we know that it is best to reduce our style of
farming to a well digested plan, and to strive
by all means to make circumstances bend to
that plan. By firm resolution and energy,
more can be done in this matter than is often
supposed. There is meaning in the old prov
erbs that " Fortune favors the brave," and
that" The lucky man is generally the ener
getic and industrious man." But now to the
picture :
HEALTH. —The orderly farmer takes care of
lils health, lie does not expose himself un
necessarily to wet and cold ; does not go with
damp feet and insufficient clothing ; docs not
overwork himself in planting time, and in hav
ing and harvesting ; does not worry himself
with undue anxiety about the weather, or the
success of crops, and so ex [vise himself to the
assaults of disease. He keeps his head cool,
his heart cheerful, his passions under control
and so builds up and fortifies his citadel of
strength that he is seldom interrupted in his
daily labors.
BUILDINGS.— -Look row at hi* buildings.—
His dwelling house is not, indeed, pretentions :
that wonld be out of keeping with the char
acter of the man, and of his employment ; but
it is comfortable, convenient, neat It is roomy
like his heart. It is a good protection against
all the vicissitudes of the seasons. What a
spacious cellar 1 How well arranged for
storing all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and
the various other articles needful in good
housekeeping And then, it i> frost-proof and
rat-proof, and is kept as " neat as a pin."—
The rooms above ground are planned for con
venience in dispatching household duties.—
The parlor and living room look attractive ;
kitchen, pantries, closets, milk room, wood
house, well-house, cistern, sinks and drains, are
nil just where they should be, or as near to
that as possible, llis barn and other out
buildings have no ginger-bread work about
them, but they are substantial, suited to their
purpose, and are kept in repair.
FENCES. —GIance at his fences. Some of
thorn are the old Virginia rail, but thev are
not suffered to become tipsy ; some of them
are post and board, and here and there hedges
are beginning to appear, lie is not yt t per
fectly satisfied with his hedge-plant for a per
manent farm fence. The buckthorn is hardiy
thorny enough to turn cattle ; the hawthorn
it liable to several diseases ; the locust is ram
pant. and needs considerable care, but answers
tolerably well. The osagc orange is just the
thing, if it proves hardy.enough for his climate.
He is giving it a thorough trial. But what
ever kind of fence lie may have for any field,
he does not suffer it to become dilapidated.—
Good fences, ne knows, have much to do in
making good neighbors ; he values his own
peace of mind too highly—saying nothing about
his crops—to leave his field exposed to the in
roads of vicious cattle. Broken rails are there
fore, replaced with new ones, and if a hoard
gets off, it is soon observed and nailed on
again.
Mode of Tilt.age.—Notice his mode of t l-
Jage. As h ground work of the whole, ho has
drained his low, swampy lands, and not those
only, but other parts of his farm w hieli were
found to have super-abundant moisture at any
season of the year. He was systematic even,
in doiug this. It would have cost too much
labor and money to undertake all this at once.
So he distributed the work through several
years, and the remainder as the timennd means
permitted. And the work pays as it goes.—
Thorough plowing aud manuring go hand in
hand with draining. The skinning system he
leaves for others : his plows arc of the kind
which go down into the soil, not merely scratch
the snrfuce. No manures arc wasted on his
premises ; they are never so highly concentra
ted as to uced dilution by exposure to rain, sun
and wind. If anything of this sort is needed,
he thinks it is best to incorporate with them
muck or straw, and to lay them up in heaps
under sheds or barn-cellars. Nor does he eon
fine his work to a single season. The well
prepared field is sown or planted with good
seed, and then it is well tilled throughout the
Summer. The cultivator und hoe arc kept
bright, the soil kept mellow, the crops always
growing, and the weeds kept in constant sub
jection.
IMPLEMENTS, SEEDS AND STOCK. —IIis m-lec
tion of T Ii PRO is worthy of notice, lie likes
not to make farming an unnecessary drudgery
Hence, whenever he can find H machine that
will economically save human iahnr, lie buys
it at once. He takes pains to inform himself
ns to the best patterns that lie may not he im
posed upon by unprincipled venders. So in
the choice of seeds. He is careful to save his
own crops of these which mature the earliest
and develop themselves in the best manner.—
And,lest they should deteriorate somewhat, by
heing too long grown on the same soil, he ex
changes with orderly farmers in other places.
If he learns of new varieties which promise
well, he does not scout them at once as hum
bugs. He goes to reliable sources of informa
tion, or he makes careful experiments, and
then adopts or rejects the new corner, as its
merits seem to require. He is not afraid to
prove new things, yet it is quite sure to hold
to the old which are known to IK? good. The
same system is shown in his purchases and care
of stock. lie is not ignorant of the respective
merits of imported breeds, bnt what ever the
" blood of his animals,'" they are well cared
for. They are well housed, supplied with food
and water in abundance, and at regular hours.
A certain old lady who had been fam
.. i for sour looks and not very sweet words,
' inching the accident of life, was observed to
become very amiable. *' What happy change
mis eoine over you ?" said a neighbor. " Why,"
slid the transformed, " to toll yon the truth.
I have been all my life striving fur a contwj
