Volume 32 tam and linobold. Farming as an Occupation. _ Why is it that farming is considered a menial ocaupatiou at the present day?— Is it for the reason that the life of a farm er is not seen in its true light? This is an era in which all things, or the greater part, are judged from appearances, not from their true worth,or I might say this is a gilded age—that is, position in society is graded according to the . depth of a man s' pocket: For instance, there is Mr. Shoddy, who lives in a fasionable part'of the city, in a fine residence, with his-retinue of servants and his tine turn outs. It makes no difference what his pest life has beet, or by what means he aceumlated his vast wealth, whether by ' defrauding the Government, or by the adulteration of food and the necessaries of life, or by the exercise of his muscle in the ring, or by the sweat of his brow. It is all the same; lie has got the money. It may be asked, in what way does this affect farming as an occupation ? It . has its influence in this way. Our young men see that it is the almighty dollar that give them position and influence in so- . ciety, and consequently they are willing to risk their lives and honor, and will resort to almost any means, honorable or dishonorable, for immediate dicumula tion of wealth, rather than follow the file of a farmer, where fortunes are not made in an hoar. They are not aware that the pursuit of agriculture can be made one of the most happy and inde pendent, as well as progressive, occupa tions that our Creator has placed before us. and as for comfort and happiness, it rests more in the hands of a farmer to make it so than any other profession in life. his cares are not equal to the trades man's, who, when lie ini este his all in a stock of goods, takes his risk of fire, rob bery, dishonest clerks, had debts, and freouent failures of his brother 'mer chants and business men. He sees their skeletons in all branches of trade,and it is truly said that a man's health and happi ness ate easier ruined by mental care and toil than by manual labor. The Question comes, what can be done to make the pursuit of agriculture more desirable ?— In the first place, we. as a general rule, neglect education. Let our sons and daughters be thoroughly educated, so that our sons may be capable of assisting in revising r ur laws and asserting our rights iu our legislative halls, and then we ma)f-,hope to see some of the canal, railroad, and other political rings broken up, and we shall not be unduly taxed to support an army of contractors and po litical jobbers in wealth and affluence.— As we become better educated we shall be more refined, and our homes will be rendered more attractive. It requires but little time and labor to plant shade and fruit trees and flowers, and by spend ing a few leisure hours in so doing we shall be doubly repaid. There is no rea son.whv our homes and firesides cahnot be made as pleasant and happy as those of our friends in town. Ido not mean as costly and extravagant as theirs, for we must not consider our happiness as de pendent on these things. 'there are, too, some privileges that we as farmers do not fully appreciate. We can spend our eve nings at home with our families. This is not so in many pursuits of life. Secon dly, in the cold and stormy days of Win ter many leisure hours can be devoted to reading and improving our minds. There is no reason why the head of every house , hold should not provide plenty of good reading matter for the amusement end improvement of his family. It is but lit tle expense, apd is one of the beat paying investments. L. Butter-Making Mr. T. Hart, of Litchfield, Conn., sends to the Germantown Telegraph the follow ing interesting paper on butter•making It contains many valbable hints which our dairyman should make a note of: Pennsylvania is the great butter-mak ing state, for which purpose her soil is well adapted. If rightly managed there is doubtless more profit, in the manufac ture of butter than any other branch of dairying taken:alone,provided a first rate article be made and put upon the market in the best possible Condition, and this will always be so from the fact that more than two-thirds of all the manufacturers of batter, even in Pennsylvania, fail to make a really first-rate article ;141 strang as the fact may seem to be, there not one-half of the butter-makers who real ly know what a first-rate quality of but ter is, or how to make it. Then again many of them do not care if they can get within a few cents a pound of what the best of butter sellq at ; they would rather sell at a less price if they cannot convince the buyer that it is equal to the best, and it so they lave a little labor, but the result in the end only shows that they were "penny wise and pound fool ish." To have the credit of making the -very best of everything which we manu facture is worth more than a few pennies on a pound or two of butter Among the prominent faults with but ter is one so needless and one that is the result of so much negligence and care lessness that it needs a passing notice.— I allude to the want of sufficient working to dissolve the salt. There is no fault that is so soon detected as this. Another department of the dairy bus iness is that of making cheese. This too if rightly understood and carefully man aged, is a remunerative business. It takes . five quart4e-Of milk to make one pound of cheese mostseasons of the year In September and October cows that have given milk through the summerll ~ will make a pound of cheese from abotefour and a—half quarts of new milk, the milk being richer in the fall than in the spring It is claimed by very good dairymen that just as good cheese can be made from milk after taking off what cream rises over night as from entirely new milk. Certain it is that it the cream is allowed to rise it might as well be taken oft and made into butter, as it will not go into the cheese but will melt and run off into the whey and be lost. Yet I think the milk if made into cheese as soon as the animal heat is gone from it will make the' best cheese. Yet lum aware that as good cheese can be made from skim milk as the average of cheese from our farm dairies, especially in the months of Sep tember and October. Another prominent fault is the want of cleanliness in all its details. Without this precaution it is impossible to make a first-rate quality of butter. If care is not exercised iu milking the butter will be rank'from the dust adhering to the can ' especially in the winter when cows are kept in the stable. 'lt is true that the quality of butter depends very much - upon the feed upon which the cow is kept, as well as the particular breed of the cows from which, it is made. - We, have in .our county-a man • (Ili. P. R. Starr) of whom I have once written you. As before stated, his cows are Al dfrnev, and the milk is churned new without skimming. His means and pre parations are ample for making the best butter that it is possible to matte rom new milk, and I learn it sells for a-dollar a pound, and this too when other butter, of good quality sells for only forty—five to fifty; cents a pound, and much more is seld!tor thirty cents. ttlisceliantotur.
