It seems as if the old adage held true to this day, — " When it rains jwrridge, their dish is always bottom ujnoards." A wide awake farmer will try and improve every opportunity for self-culture and improvement of his farm ; he does not set and doze all the long win ter evenings, not he ; you will find him poring over works relating to the farm,and and the discoveries made in the best ap plication of manure, and the results, and he arranges in his mind what kind will be l*est adapted to his soil—phosphate of lime or guano—and his neighbor over the way is forever pondering over the hints thrown out by Nature, and yet he does not take the hint. The frost destroys about one half of his apple blossoms, and he prognos ticates a small crop of apples ; instead of that, the half that remains are larger and finer flavored than usual, and the trees, in stead of being exhausted, are ready for an other crop—the next year—and yet, for ever slow to take the hint, does not profit by this lesson of Nature, and thin out his fruit every bearing year. But the next bearing year you will find his orchard over loaded with fruit of small, inferior kind, consequently uulit for market, and yet you will hear him boast of his line crop of large ones last year, and the good price he ob tained by the barrel—hints are thrown away on him—his dish is upside down. A farmer raises the best kind of carrots on a spot of ground where the wash of the barn-yard run into it after every hard show er. Did he take the hint and apply liquid manure ? Not he—his dish was bottom upwards. A shrewd farmer, whose dish is kept right side up, goes in for the modern improvements, he subsoils his land and raises large crops, and his farm is looked upon as a remarkably productive one, and for years the farmer showed the utility and thrift of deep handling, and yet not a neighbor took the hint and left the old style of skimming the surface ; that progressive farmer sold his farm at a high figure. They all supposed it was a wonderfully produc tive farm ; and the purchaser was one of those old fogy men who dare not leave the beaten trail of his father before hint, and the sequence was the old style of surface scratching—and considers himself a chea ted man, from the fact that his crops are no better than his neighbors'. He was slow indeed to take the hint, and his dish was wrong side up all through life, —and why ? Because he persistently closed his eyes to all modern improvements, and considered all the advertised machines to save labor as so much gas and humbug, to get mon ey from the greenhorns, but they couldn't come it over him—his ej-e teeth were out. A staunch old farmer complained that his soil was too loose and light. Ashes were suggested as worth trying. " Well, now you mention it, I believe it will do good. 1 bought part of my farm from a man who was a wonderful fellow to save up ashes, and around his cabin it lay in heaps. I re moved the house, and to this day I notice that when the plow runs along that spot, the ground turns up moist and close grained." It is wonderful he was so slow to take the hint. Nature may throw out hints to some farmers all the way through life, and yet they will stubbornly refuse to listen to his teachings, and why ? because their great grandfather did so they must do likewise, instead of trying experimental farming, and striving to make the labor of j farming as light and cheerful as possible. They go at it wrong end foremost, and so continue through life. How absurd the idea of a farmer running in debt for more land than he can cultivate to advantage, buying unnecessary articles, and doing without those which are of vital impor tance. Want of economy, neglecting the payment of small accounts, till they ac- : cumulate in such a manner as to afford him a run of business. Independent of his farm ing operations, keeping unnecessary ani inals to devour his produce. One dog, if! fed to the full, is as expensive as a pig, without any return profit, unless we take j into account his very little service of fright ening the cattle, and making five times as j breechy as if driven out quietly,—of his: biting your neighbors' sheep and you hav- 1 ing to pay the cost, and making ill-feelings ' between neighbors for a lifetime ; keeping - more horses than can be used to advantage, ! indicates had economy ; horses require i more fodder, and of better quality, than ; any of our domestic animals, hence, if not properly employed, they are a draw-back | on the farm. The farmer who has any reason to ex pect good luck, must take the hint and have : a good pile of wood np to his door, surely enough to last one year. See that the fences are repaired, and the cattle are re-1 stricted within the limits assigned them, ; lest they become ambitious and commence a tillibustering expedition to acquire more territory. To have your dish right side up, i take the hints thrown out for you by Na ture ; be prompt, let everything be done in good season,keep interest money and small , debts paid up ; see that you have the Gen-1 exec Farmer sent to you promptly, which will keep you posted up in all the various improvements of the farm ; do not be i afraid to try a new experiment which offers to be of a labor saving nature, for at the \ present high price for farm labor, it is of! deep importance to all farmers to study economy. .1. L. HERSEV. WHITE WASHING. As some kinds of labor may be performed at a season of the year when the weather is not suitable for out-of-door occupation, it may be well to look around and see what may be necessary within doors. Among these is the white-washiug of rooms. In the first place, see if there are any cracks in the plastering, or shrinking of wood work from it. If so, mix a little calcined plaster and quick lime together with wa ter. a little at a time, and with an old case knife, till up all the cracks with the paste. Dip the brush in water and smooth down the surface of the paste before you com mence white-washing. If you have no cal cined plaster at hand, put a" little plaster of paris in a skillet, heat it over the fire so as to make it appear like boiling, but do not j keep it in that condition too long, and you ' will have the calcined plaster. This paste is also excellent to fill up the cracks in floors before painting or carpeting, as it makes a smooth surface and helps keep out the cold. To PREPARE THE WHITEWASH. —SIack quick lime in water a lew days before using it. It will then be completely soluble, and free from the coarse particles lhat exist when first made. A still better article is Span ish whiting, which may be bought at a cheap rate. Mix a little calcined plaster, say one-fourth as much as the whiting, and it will look all the Utter. A little glue will render the wash hard for walls "The glue should be dissolved separately If yon want to color the wash, any apothecary or painter can tell you what, yon want \ wasU mixed with giue or calcined plaster should be used immediately How TO Am.r n Always have your work finished behind yon, i. e., draw your brush from your work, you will then leave it smooth. Go over the second coat across the first coat. This will take out the streaks, ! and leave it smooth when dry. A good brush is absolutely necessary to make work look well. Always soak the brush in mod erately warm water before using it, and . clean it thoroughly when your work is done.! Avoid having your wash too thick. It is a wash, and not a paste that you want. — i When the water evaporates, a thin coating ; of pure lime is left, which perfectly covers > the old surface ; this soon absorbs carbonic acid from the air, and remains unchanged | till acted upon by smoke or dust. To prepare a wash for tences and the j outside walls of buildings, put one peck of lime in a barrel, and pour on a little water so as to drown the lime as it is called. Let it swell and crack and gradually add the 1 water till it is of the right consistency, then add four quarts of coarse salt dissolved in water. This will render the coat hard, and not so liable to wash off. A conven ient way to white-wash slats for a fence before they are nailed on, is to have a box a little longer than the slats, fill it with the wash, and with a pair of tongs dip them into it. Keep the barrel covered when not in use. In patching a piece of plastering, al ways cut out a square piece from the old plaster, and sec that the mortar fills up the ■ space even with the old. We never like to see an irregular blotch overhead, when it ! can be so easily avoided.— Maine Farmer. 1 ORCHARD CULTIVATION. The cultivation of orchards is one of those mooted questions which for a long period h;ts disturbed the horticultural com munity, and yet there would appear to be : but one rational side to the question ; and that is all orchards should be tilled. It is ! simply nonsense to expect that a tree will 1 produce and mature large quantities of i fruit, for any considerable period, without i manuring of some kind to replace the ele ; incuts which the fruit carries away. While the cultivation of an orchard may not prove remunerative, so far as the crop itsell is concerned, it undoubtedly, if judiciously ! managed, improves the condition of the trees, and consequently the quality of the ; fruit. We have known orchards bear fruit J well, which for many years were permitted to lie in grass, but eventually they gave j out. and ceased to be productive. On the I other hand, wc have known orchards which ! for thirty years have been cultivated as | regularly as other portions of the farm, | and the results have been the continued health of the trees, and unless destroyed : by frosts, a regular average annual yield. | The stirring of the'soil appeared to impart : new energy to the trees. They not only ' presented a healthy and vigorously appear ance, but yielded handsome returns yearly. The crops, it is true, may not have been 1 as luxuriant as on those parts of the farm not so much shaded, but every bushel of oats, corn, potatoes or turnips might prop erly be set down as so much clear gain. It is well to remember that deep plowing in an orchard is not advisable. A good evi dence of the value of cultivation is shown by the fact, that when trees run to wood, and yield little or no fruit, the luxuriant ; growth oithe wood can be readily checked, and fruitfulness promoted, by putting the orchard in grass for a couple of years. If, at the end of that period, shallow plowing is resorted to, the beneficial effects will be apparent to the most casual observer. —Cidturist. BURN UP THE RUBBISH. Fire is a great purifier. It is astonishing what a change for the better can be made in the garden and around the house By I raking up and burning the rubbish. If any of it is valuable for manure, let it be wheeled to the compost heap, and then set fire to the remainder. Go where we may, rubbish of all kinds meets the eye. In the ! country, branches of trees are thrown into the fence corners and there allowed to lie and rot. Chips, old rails, stumps of trees and decayed wood, in a variety of forms,are found on almost every farm. They are un sightly objects, but this is by no means I their worst feature. They are the prolific | source of fungus in all its multifarious forms. And fungus is becoming the great j est pest in American horticulture. The ; cracking of the pear, rotting of the grape, and specks 011 apples, are all caused by I fungus, while rust and mildew are only | different names for different forms of fungus i growth. In the garden and orchard, everything that will not rot and make manure in less than a year should be at once gathered up and burnt. The importance of doing this I promptly is not generally understood. If the branches of trees, potato tops, and ! woody matter of all kinds could be charred, instead of bu nt, it would make excellent manure. And in many instances this can be done without much trouble. Old sods from waste places in the garden can be ob ; tained to cover the heap, and they will j themselves be converted into most useful t fertilizer. Vegetables of all kinds delight in such a manure. It is free from weeds, acts quickly, and makes the soil light, warm ; and porous. A gardener who once uses them will never again, if possible, be witb i out a supply. A Schoolmaster tells the following good ; one : I was teaching in a quiet country vil lage. The second morning of my session I I found leisure to note my surroundings,and arnoug the scanty furniture 1 espied a three legged stool. "Is that the dunce block ?" 1 asked a little girl of five. The dark eyes sparkled, the curls nodded assent, and the lips rippled out, " I guess so, the teacher always sits on that." The stool was unoc | cupied that term. " MY son," said a fond parent to his ofl spiiug, after having surveyed the wonders of the London Crystal Palace. "My son, if you can tell me which of all these works of men pleased you the most, I will give you half a crown." " The veal and ham pies," responded young hopeful, " give me the money." MEN, in respect to ceremonies, modes and laws, like a flock of sheep, will, in a body, if the bell-wether can only be got to leap over a pole, continue to leap carefully over the same place when the pole has been taken away THE Kmperor of China, instead of pay ing the doctor as we do when we are un well, the instant lie is taken ill stops the pay of his physicians, and does not renew it until he is quite well again ~ A MAX on being told that a certain kind of stove would save half the coal, said "I'll take two of them and save it all." The East Indies boast of a nutmeg weighing four ounces, and not satisfied is now asking for "a grater." Clothing. F I R M 1 MERCHANT TAILORING, AM) READY MADE CLOTHING EMPORIUM ! GEO. W. COOS If CO..
