Although honored by the invitation of
yonr Board of officers to address you, I
feel, that you will not expect me to give
Irony lessons form my own experience
von' .practical farming. It is known to
many of those present that altheugh rais
ed from infancy to manhood upon the
farm where I 'now reside,. I was absent
therefrom and separated from the practic
. al, and to me always pleasant duties of
farming, for more then 30 years ; and
only within the last four years have return
ed.to the scenes and employments of my
childhood and youth. Occupying one of
the oldest farms in this section of the
state, first settled by my venerated father
in. the latter part of the last centary, my
own recollection runs hack to the, first
organization of this County in 1811 ; and
standingi between the past and present
generations, I note the many f changes
tbat have passed and the great improve
ments that have been made during :the
past half century of years ; and look for
ward with hope and trust,, even through
the clouds that now hang over .us, for a
bright and prosperous future for our
country and those who are tafollow us
arid occupy our farm§ when we are
gone.
Engaged now in tilling the fields clear
ed by my father, when neither the [sound
of his ,axaor the report of his rifle could
be-heard by his nearest neighbor; shelter
ed• by the roof reared by him, ad shad
edly the pines, maples, and elms and
gathering fruit from the orchards which
Inlwyhood I aided him in planting; be
ing now the owner from the center of the
earth to the sky, of the mile square 'of
land first selected by him 44‘a home, from
this then wild and uasubdtted part of the
state, I claim the right to exult in, and
feel proud of that highest title of nobility,
in our land, a Pennsylvitnia Fasinuf. As
snob, I am at all times ready to reco g nize,
as brothers of the same, rank, all
who duly appreciating their • occupation,
cheerfully accept along with its toil and
labor, its hard hands and sun-bronzed
face, its slow but sure profits, and its
healthfulness and peace, the duty and
responsibility resting upon each, to avail
himself of all means of.obtaining.sneh in
formation as shall be useful in his calling,
and eo to raise the standard of its repu
tation in respect to mental culture and
enlightenment, as shall place farmett as a
class, in point of general practical know
ledge, upon an equality with any other
class or.professiod in the community .
i Un
less-ths shall be the case; it is ' in vain to
4:lain:lnn equality; and ,oar balls &legis
lation and all the responsible offices. of
the huid * will continue to be 'filled mostly
by toes other than farmers, because : they
are,better 'qualified to perform the in-.
cumbeat duties.
For the practical business of faming as
well .as-for high attain rents in science or
in theprofessions, a .'iound and healthy
body pis indispensable ; yet it is equally.
true that the cultivation and gevelopement
of the salad and heart, is the standard by
which Man is to lie measured and from
that he takes rank as a member ofsociety
and a citizen. The position is already
pretty well understood and beginning' to
be -appreciated and acted .upon'in :.the

,
My own_, observation and experience
teach me that in this country, Farmers at
tempt to work' too much land, either for
their farms or their own profit. It would
be much better for both farms and owners
if the farthslwere smaller and better work
ed—the number of farina and workers
trebled. The most oppressive of all taxes
upon farm is the fencp lax ; and upon a
large farm this alone will eat up all the
profits. This evil would in• a few - years
he remedied, if our sons were educated
as farmers and could be persuaded to re
main at home, and take a portion of the
homestead for a farm. It is this which in
the German counties of our ,state, has
produced the high state of cultivation
they exhibit ; made the lands valuable,
And the counties and farmers rich be
yond any other section of the United
States. But d few year since the valua
tion of LancOuter county, in this state,
exceeded
,that of the two old states of
Delaware and Rhode Island, the same 1
county producing in wheat and corn,
enough to furnish every man, woman, and
child in the ,Commonwealth, four bushels
each. The same process would in a few
years treble the valuation of our county
and render the basiness of farming much
more profitable than it now is. The ex
pense of cultivation of course depends
very much on the number of acres work
ed. If therefore one acre cati be made to
yield twice as much as now, the profits
must be greater. It is cheaper to raise
80 to' 100 bushels of corn from one acre,
which has frequently been done here,
than to do , the same froth 2 or 3 acres,
the ordinary yield. Every farmer loceiws
that his yield.of hay—the most important
crop of this -County can be doubled by
_having his meadows properly laid down,
seeded and manured. Astir, tillage, we
have no cause to be afraid of the hardpan
under our soil. If stirred up by deep'
ploughing and exposed to the air and the
frost, its chemical dements mixed with
thesoil, will suppri much that has been
exhausted, and render the whole far more
productive. We'ay narrow our fields
and deepen our furrows with a certainty
of increasing our crops and oar profits.
e, soil and climate of this county are
pecliarly adapted to grazingand dairy
li ) li
pnr oses • as much so perhaps as any
part of the United States ; and, we pre
sume the census returns 'will show Sus
quehanna to be the dairy county of Penn
sylvania. O'er exhibition of, horned or
neat cattle at the state fair at Wyoming
in 1801, exceeded that of any other
county; and seven years agoiyour county
fair exceeded in that respict, the whole
exhibitioner the State fair at Ilarrisharg.
Much improvement has 'of late yeard been
made here in, the , breeds ;of. , sheep, the
number of Which has also' heith , largely
increased,. and, yielding, to; : -those; . Who,

by doing everything iikoorpower
our homes not only comfOrtabe be
tive., In doing this we have aDi
ample and pattern, which it may
for .ua to examine, and in some
copy.
The homestead of the first pa 4 7 -our
first parents—was not a part of tie origi
nal creation. The inspired rem , of its
preparation, though brief, is fall , f mean
ing and instruction. "And the L ird God
planted, garden eastward in Eden and he
there put the man whom he had i'ormed,
and out, of the ground made the L , rd God
to grow ; every tree that is pleasan ,to the
sight and good for food. And ti e 'Lord
God took the man and put him ii to the
garden Of Eden to dress nand to eep it."
Let cis look. at the picture. I was a
"garde:o very name of which .uggests
the idea of high cultivation,and g eat care
—of comfort and beautyi—of floii ers, and
fruits, and vegetables. -- It was "'lamed,"
laid out not only with labor. at with
skill anct design, like all the oth: , works
of the Almighty. It was so plated, wa
tered and cared for, that " o of the
ground Was made to grow," not I aly veg
etables and fruit, such things as are usu
ally regardrd \useful and prof 'le, and
therefore almost the only things seen in
a' farmer's garden, if indeed h• have a
place or lot worthy of the name, but out
of the ground of that garden, planted 11
Ilitn \ who created man and knew what
tastes-ile had given him, and what was
not only prefer but necessary to his ration
al nature and happiness, was planted and
made to grow " every tree that is pleasant
to the aight?i as well as each as were 'good
for food." In view of this pattetn work
o(the Almighty in preparing an abode for
man—in planting and adorning las _
den—how should we blush at the want of
interest we have manifested in this mat
ter. And how should we lament the toss
of that love of the pure and beautiful,
which, wherever it exists, manifests itself
in the making our homes not only comfor
table, but in all their arrangements and
surroundings, attractive and beautiful ;
planting the gardens and grounds around
our houses, as well with trees and shrubs,
flowers and plants, "pleasantl to the sight , "
as those that are " good for; food." Lt
each of us consider this, and resolve that
the next year shall witue an improve
ment around our homes; mmence this
fall in the preparation olio grounds, set
ting out, such trees and i p nts as flourish
best by fall planting, a n d miring plants
and seeds for the ()Inning ring. Let our
wives and daughterii. be encouraged in
their natural love of s and ornamen
