TJirse Kinds of Fanners.-Oar Neigh- !
bars, Joues, Smith and Johnson.
Within the ratine of our daily vision, are tw< i
farmers who r present two (lisLnet classes oi j
atfrieulturistH. Fainter Jones* aim and end in j
ail his operations is to secure present profit, re- j
gardless of the future. Ilia liouse needs re- j
pairing and painting-, not only for its appear- j
uucc fake, but also for its preservation ; hu' j
ns that would take something at onee out o! i
his pocket and yield no immediate return, In i
concludes to let it j;<>, for this year, at least. |
So with his hams and other out buildings
lie constructs them out ol the cheapest mate
rials and in a hasty manner, satisfied it they
answer the present, to let the future take care
of itself. Hence we ste his foundations riv
iii£ way after the first year's frost, and his
buildings leaning at all angles ; the doors,
iiuug by leathern or old iron hinges, breaking ;
the hiding, imperfectly nailed on, blowing 'lf ;
and the floors made of thin and poor luud'or, j
breaking through. 1113 fence? are in tlie same ;
predicament. Wanted only to answer prcs J
ent use, they are patched up out of old and :
rotten lniuber, and are constantly break ng j
down, and exposing his crops to the incurs 011s
of hungry cattle. His mode of tillage pro
coeds on the same principle. Draining, mi- ;
nuriug, sub soiling—he has little faith in them, 1
certainly no further than lie thinks they will ■
bear on the present year's crop?. Skinning,
is his style of farming : this requires no out- i
lav for an nneertain future : all that lie gets j
out of the land is so much clear gain. And j
he carries out this principle in hisgeneial style
of life. His education suffices for the wants,
of to-day ; so will not take the trouble to in
form himself against the demands of the fu
ture. Ilence, books and paper containing |
solid and useful instruction tire banished from :
his table to make room for those affording en- i
tainmcut onlv. manages to get along with
his present- character as a man anil eitiz' n :;
so lie don't care to build up a reputation for :
integrity, generosity, intelligence and virtue. j
Alas, too, perhaps lie cures only for the trifles j
of the present life, regardless of the grander
scenes of eternity !
Over the hill yonder, lives farmer Smith, an
entirely different sort of man. Can it be that
he and Jones both descended from Adam ?
His eyes have have a good deal of the tele- i
scope in them, being very much given to look -
into the distant future. He think-, plan
dreams and talks of the time to come. lie
is he is going to be a grand farmer, one of these '
days. When he gets his plans all matured, |
and when he gets them all, or half of thera ex
ecuted, won't people open their eyes and say
h- *s a long-headed tnan. that farmer Smith, a ;
man of bottom, a genuine " brick ?" Won't;
they ?
To his very bones, he believes in draining, j
and that thorough draining To prove it, he j
has been at, work for two years past, on a j
range of sand hills, cutting trenches down their j
sides four feet deep, nnd laying them with pipe <
carted a long distance at great expense. To i
be sure, he has never caught his drains deliv
ering much water yet, but they are sure to do
so by and by ; the principle ol draining is a 1
good otic, and is certain to show grand results .
at a future day. Sub soiling is another arti-;
trie iu his creed. And he is proving his faith '
in it by sub-oil plowing a twenty acre lot of
meadow laud which has a surface -oil of vir
gin mould some two or three feet deep, renting
on a porous substratum of grave;!;.' hum. II -
neighbors look over the fence and sin k" their
heads, and tell him they think lie had better
use first the rich soil on the surface, before
going down after that near the centre of the .
earth, or if lie is trying to loosen up the sub
soil so that his crops can send their roots deeper,
he needn't trouble liiniM If to do that, for his
clover and other crops already strike their roots
lower than the point of his deepest plow. Hut
lie looks wise, at. 1 lets tliern taik on : he
thinks they who plow shallow, arc shallow
men ; tiiey have no thought for the future ;
they have not read of the grand results of
sub soiling. One of these days, p rhaps, they
or their children will see something.
Need we tell anything more about fanner
Jones ? He builds stone fences six feet j
broad at the base, so as to have tliem dura-;
ble : how he is now laying wide and deep the ,
foundations of an immense ham, which it took
him five years to plan : and how these and \
his other schemes for the future are 011 so grand •
and costly a scale that thev exhaust his prcs- '
cut means of living comfortably, and keep liira ;
continually in debt ? Ho is a large hearted
man, and has large ideas, bat he rides his hob- \
by to death.
As we have observed the ways of these two j
men. Jones and Smith, we have often thought ;
what a grand thing it would lie, if the two !
could be " mixed together,'' and so form a 1
new product, such as we found in a third neigh
bor, Mr. Johnson ! .Mr. Johnson does not
a mage his farm for the present profit only,
1 it so as to secure immediate returns, and yet
-r-.vide for the future. He constructs hi>
owildings in a sufficiently durable manner, and
then k<eps them in repair, lie drains and
sub soils only where such operations are need
ed, and will pay at once and in all time to
come. He does not crop a piece of land with
out restoring the fertility taken from it. He
manages his grain and grass field-, his orchards
and his garden so as to reap present benefit
and still greater returns in future. And while |
Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones left alone will come ;
to poverty, the two combined in Mr. Johnson I
would j rosper, lirgt and last.— American Agri- 1

SMOKING CHIM.VKVS. —James 11. Stout, of.
Wheeling, Vn., writes that " a simple plan to j
prevent smoke passing down a chimin visto J
make openings through each side two inches 1
square, and about eighteen inches from the !
top. This witt effectually stop tin's annoyance, ,
even in the most gusty weather. When the 4
wind enters the top of the chimney, it passes
tlirought the openings andean never overcome 1
the upward draft."
REMARK.
Me do not see the " philosophy" of this ;
remedy, since the pressure of tlie air produced j
bv a gust of wind would operate quite as fore-'
ibiy u|k)m the side openings, as upon tiie top. |

crease of floods he now otters, which have been bought so
much more advantageously, will enable him to increase
the generous coniidence which has hitherto been vouch
safed to him. He therefore solicits a continuance of the
favor of his old customers, and invites the public general-
Iv to come and see the fashions.
