A - FARM PICTURE t What a vivid sketch is that which George William ,Curtis draws of some country homes: "I think of many and manya sad eyed woman I have known in solitary . countryhomes, who seemed never to•have smiled; who struggled with hard hands through the melting heat and pinching cold, to hold back poverty and want that hovered like wolves about an_over-increasing flock, of children. How it was scour in the morning and scrub at night, and scold all day: long 1 How care blurred the window like a cl6ud, hiding the lovely landscape !

As I think of these things, of the solitary, inces sant drudgery, of the taciturn husband coming in heavy with sleep—too weary to read, to talk, to think, I do not wonder that the read houses are so richly recruited from the him houses, as the stat;stics show—tkat the farmer's daughter hangs enchanted over stories in the weekly paper of the hand some Edward Augustus, with white 'lends_ And black eyes—nor that the farmer's son . hears the city bells that „long ago rang to . Whitington ' Zum again, Whitington, Lord Mayor of, LondoW,' 'ringing. to him as he pauses in the furrow, 'Turn again, plow boy, millionaire and merchant ! " MORE SMALL FEUITS We are convinced that farmers generally do not pay enough attention to Ur cultiyation of small fruits. We dopot adviseany one to .abando,n the cultivation of large fruits as they are called;:but then, in many parts of the country, apples, pears, plums and peach es have become such ;uncertain crops that it will not do for the faimer to depend upon them alone for his fruit. Every farmer should have his: table continually supplied with small fruits and berries fresh, from the time currents become fit for use to the end .of the season for blackberries—a period of at least three months—with enough besides to preserve to supply his family the balance of the year. Currents come first, and they • are followed by gooseberries, strawberries .and raspberries and blackberries. The in ducements to the cultivation of these are, that they can be 'successfully cultivated in nearly every section of the country, they are hardy, and they seldom fail, with, prop •er care, to make large yields. A farmer may la bor for years to bring "apple and peach orchaids into successful bearing, and may in the end find that he has received no adeqhate retum fOr his labor and expense. -On the other hand; any, farmer can, with ordinary skill and attention and but little •eost, in two years, have a full supply of the small units and berries.—Farmer a Ai , • manac.

From the special German correspondent • of the lowa' Homeste ad, we clip' the follow -mg picture of farming in some parts of Ger many The fields of grain will compare well, as _regards size, With au ordinary city lot. In .deed, many of them aremuch smaller. Per haps two by eight rods would be their aver age size. This; of course, refers to the fer tile plains, where the entire surface is under oultivation, and not -to the highlands that ;are appropriated to raising timber, or to pasturage. Little corner stones mark the boundaries of these small farms and lots. I think that the object of thus dividing into such small lots is to secure better opportun ity for a regular and systematic rotation of :crops...; Bide' by side, with, only a deep fur _row between, one sees there little patches of wheat, oats, barley, ,pels, potatoes, etc. - Wren one can look over a large tract of country, the different Onto giyert by the va = ions little flelds-giVe, f the landscape the ap pearance oriange chess-board. • THE , -SERTIrES OF BORAi.

But a few days atid winter will chill and destroy and it is high time for the economical and thehumane to bestir themselves for their own benefit and for that of their domestic animals. Even the rudest .structures are of some account. Four posts, a few poles and a deep covering of slough grass, form a pro-. tectionhetter than nothing, if the straccure' is built upon the highest and dryest ground. A. board shed, made close upon one side and two ends, is far better.

The wealth and prosperity of every city is indicated by the extent and.progress of its publiclmprovements, or, in -other words; . - - the amount of property_ owned or the amount of revenue receiyed:frotn the same, shows tike 'wealth of the, city, while the improvements made in anYairection calcu lated to increase that revenue's an evidence of its prosperity. That Pittsburgh is a wealthy city willnotbe denied, as her many valuable public iMprovements are evidence of that fact, and to show that we are not hindmost in this progressive age, we pro pose to give a few facts connected with the improvements made in our water works during the past season, which will doubt less prove interesting to many of our read ers. The estimated value of the Water Works last year was 3960,241.48, from which the city received a revenue of $137,018.75, less 062,- 708;72 expended for permanent improve vements at the works and extension main pipes, which, of course, will increase the revenue hereafter, leaving a net balance in favor of the city 0f,04,31.u.03. Since January 31st, 1868, the close of the last fiscal year the expenditures on the water works for permanent iinproviimenis exten sion of pipe, etc., amount to ;$257,279190. Pipe has been laid as follows ; Four inch pipe, 6,856 feet; six , inch pipe, 11,886 feet; eight inch pipe,_ 11,762` feetk twelve inch pipe, 785 feet; fifteen, inch pipe, 2,938 feet; -twenty inch pipe, 5,468; total, -39,695 feet, or seven and`a half miles. The twenty-inch pipe is the extension on Penn street to the Fifteenth and Seven teenth wards, and is now completed to St: John's Episcopal Church. -It will be tended to St. Mary's avenue, as the;street has been torn up to that point already, and a large force of men are at work. - 'ln the Fifteenth and Seventeenth wards, fortherly Lawrenceville, a considerable quantity of the four and six inch pipe was laid, tho four inch pipe on Lafayette alley and the six inch on Allen and Borough streets, from the main pipe on Butler street, to the AlleghenyiVal ley Railroad. . 1 • An eightlinch pip d has been laid on Cen tre avenue, in the Eleventh ward, from Erin street to the terminus of the Miners ville Passenger Railway track, a distance 01 3,340 feet. An eight inch pipe was also put down along Locust and Railway street, along the Allegheny Valley Railway, a Aistance of three thousand eight hundred and thirty feet, on Fifth avenue from Dinwiddie street to the Soho bridge, a dfstance of two thousand two hundred and twenty-three feet. The fifteen inch pipe was laid from Soho bridge to Crafc avenue, a distance of two thousand nine hundrnd and thiripeight feet. Pipes have been laid on flity-four differ ent streets. • _ The improvements at the different basins have been very extensive, and are nearly completed. At the Upper Works the boilers will be Bnished and the works in operation during the present week, and it ,will require bat a few dal s to complete the work at the Lower Basin. The construc tion of the pump, for which the Fort Pitt Works have the contract, is progressing favorabfy, and they have been paid accord. ing to agreement, a little over one-third of the contract price. In 1867 there was 20,024 feet of pipe laid, which is but little over half as much as the reports show for the present year, and if the weather should continue favorable one and a half Miles additional to that re ported will be laid before the close erlf.the season, making in the aggregate nine Miles. The revenue derived from the works this year will be largely in advance of that of last year, and the expenditures made will doubtless prove a profitable . investment. The above Information we obtainedirom .the office of the Assessor of Water Rents, and we are under obligations to the Asses sor and his assistants for the same. The report is necessarily only a partial one, as the fiscal year does not close until January 31, 1869, and the work Is still pro gressing, in the meantime we may have other matters of general interest connect ed with the Water Works to lay before our readers. , Real Estate Tratug'ers.
