HT hfvhv narfit, i;si. The folio ing paper was read by Henry Raui.h, Esq., of Jenner township, before the recent Tanners' Institute. Agriculture may be defined as the art of disposing the soil in such s manner as to tnake it produce in the greatest abund ance and perfection those cereals and vegetables which are useful to man aud tbe animais depending on him for sub sistanee. The earth, in s state of nature, possesses s certain degree of fertility, so as to produce phints more or leas suitable for the subsistence of man and beast, but iis spontaneous productions are small in coraparL-vjn with those which can be rais eu from it by man's industry and intelli gence. Savag nations, fce well assume of those living in tropical climate, usually rest content with the natural production and they are accordingly found to be few in. proportion to the surface which they pos sess, and oftentimes live in the lowest state of uiLer-. But wherever man has pcft-ssed intel'ngenie, he has applied himself to cultivate the so;! so as to make it capable of supporting in comparative coiufort, a large number of our popula tion. The earliest efforts in farming by the Erst settlers or pioneers of Somerset coun ty, have been few, and limited in their object. The land was cleared and plow ed, the nereai grains wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, etc., were sown, and such a crop as nature gave was contentedly re peated ; no more was done than merely to take advantage of toe natural fertility of the soil, and in this manner fanning was carried on to within about the last thirty or forty years, and in some locali ties to A rater date. When, by repeated cropping, the soil became exhausted in one field, the farm tr resorted to the axe and mattock, and cleared another. They were more famil iar with the process of clearing and cf breaking cp new land, of which they Lad an abundance within reach, than manur ing and fertilizing old and worn out fields. Consequently the process of maa uring has been much neglected by many of our farmers, both as regards the nse of ordinary stable manure and lime. They claimed that the labor required in the application of manure and lime would be so expensive from the high wages cf la bor that the returns would be unprofita ble. But the truth seemed to be that they ha I never given manure and lime a fair trial, and commercial fertilizers were then unknown. It has only been in recent tia.es tfeat farmers throughout the county thougat of cultivating the soil under certain advaiitAgixms circumstan ces so as to increase the natural produc tions of the soil and consequently raise heavier crops of grain and gratis. There were several remedies which in time ef fected these improvements Srst, to in-crea.- the extent cf tillable land for grain, and also for sufficient food for hor- 1 ses and cattle, in or ler to secure an abun dant supply of barnyard mannre, and the other was lime, la the application of lime there are certain rules which should invariably be attended to, always to give abundance, and in a newiy slaked condition, in order that it may have lit! full effects. If slaked a considerable length of time before it is applied it does not act so promptly either in reducing the natural herbage or neu tralizing the acids as when applied in a hot and powdery elate. Iry lime from the kiln is a powerfttl exciting a-ent iu agriculture. It possesses the power of decomposing animal and vegetable mat ter, an 1 enters into the fabric of plants, and is therefore an .exceedingly valuable ingredient to the firmer, and wherever farming is carried on with spirit, is ea erly sotiglit afier ; and commercial, fer l;.r.icnj have been eui-cestduiiy used with in the '.ml ten years. The leading varieties of grain raired in Somerset county are wheat, rye. oats, corn and buckwheaL Whea: is more extensively raised now than formerly, and inea i of shipping wheat out of the county, we had to iraportliL lire is not as extensively raised as form erly ; the farmers mostly raised it to feed their horses ; corn has taken its place now. There was a ptevailing opinion among the farmers, to within aixut one thirl of a century, that a field crop of corn could not be successfully raised in Somerset county. Bock wheat is mostly raised along our mountain ridges, but every farmer raises a few acres for fami ly use, as buckwheat cakes are one of the standing dainties of a fanner's break fast. A great part of Somerset county is as well, if not better, adspted for grazing than for agricultural purposes. Stock raising is there lore carried on on a large scale, and farmers have grealy improved their stock within the last twenty years. Tbe dairy basiaess was carried on exten sively before the days of "oleomargarine" Butter was one of the staple commodities ef the rounty, and the name" glades butter" was taasiliar in all the eastern markets. There is another indastry of tke coun ty in which there has been great im provement made ithin the hut half cen tury, and that is the making of maple su gar, which is of excellent quality, and is made at a time when sot much else could 1 be done. Fifty years ago ail tUe boiling ! was dene with wood, which was natural- ! erald. ly alow and had to be continued for day snd night ia accession, and sometimes, when there was a large flow of water, the boiling capacity in many camps was in adeciaate to boil the water before symp toms of vinous fermentation would set in which would change the quality of the sugar tad would make sn inferior arti cle.

Orchards were j vine and fj; trfe, ssy :n with the poet : planted on nearly every farm, but neg lected to some extent in the way of im proving the quality of the fruit. Grafting and budding was not as well nnderstood as at presenL Orchards of improved fruits ought to be a matter of considerable at tention in this county, as apples, peaches, i cherres, etc., thrive in the greatest beauty I and luxuriant e. The orchard itself is an ornament on the farm twice a year om-e when it is in full bloom ; next, when the j trees are laden with fruit; liesides, it j yields a luxury to tbe farmer and his fiinily that could not ke supplied by any- j thing else. Let us now take a glance at the inside of th farmer's house and see what tlie farmer's family ot fifty yean, ago were doing. Household manufactures or wool en and linta were made to a grett ex- tent; many families spun, wove, and j , . , ,. . . ! made cp their own clothing ; sheeting.' , , ,. ., , , i tab e-liaen, quilts, coverlets, stockings and mitten were made in the family. Thewe, perhaps, were rieither so fine nor made so expeditiously as those of a reg'i lar tradesman, but they were prnlaced for domestic use, at a time when there was no other employment, and in this manner may be said to cost very little except the material from which they were made. Nearly ail Lheclithic worn by tbe farmer was home-made ; the same may be said of soap and candies, which were ail made in the family. Cooking stoves were then a novelty ; the cooking was all done in the fireplace ; the cooking utensils were few and sinple. Tbe first cooking stoves brought into the courtry were made to bcrn wood, and were a kind of heating and cooking stoves com bined, and were only used in the winter. The implements used by the farmers half a century or more ago were rough and simple, and niany of them were made on the farm by the farmer bime!f, and were made on the "Armstrong" style. Nearly every farmer managed to have a few tools, such as saws, augurs, chisel-, etc., to make his own implements and do Lis own repairing. With axes they were better supplied than the farmer of . . ., .... to-day there was more chopping to be done in clearing the land ami providing fire-wood. I Plows were exceedingly clumsy in con struction, and dragged with much dilli cu'ty ; harrows were about the same.

A great deal of the threshing was done by newly arrived emigrants from Oermsny.as that was about the firt work they could do and about the only work they could get during the winter. I remember the time when the first threshing machine was brought into Brothersvailey township, or perhaps the first in tae county ; steam threshers and separators are a more recent imrrove ruenL It may well be said that we live- in an age of machinery. The amount of work performed by machinery is wonderful to think about ; it is revolutionizing the world, so to speak.

The blacksmith buys his nails and shoes all ready for the foot of the horse, also his bolts and screws, all made. The carpenter has little more to i do than to put his material together, j Thousands of houses made by machinery are sent hundreds of miles by rail and j set up, ready to be occupied, in a few j days after reaching their destination. ' The farmer has the machines close j ajttr mm , tney are cutting nts grass ana grain; they are raking and pitching his ha ; they are threshing and cleaning his grain, ready for market; they are drop- ping and covering his corn and shelling it also; they are sowing his wheat and other grain and gra seed, and so on to an almost endless extent. No one can auy that great gocd has not come to the couLtry at large by the employment of labor-saving machinery. It may have at times put the old tradesman to some inconvenience, but that could not be hslped. Even at this late day some people besi- tate to introduce labor-saving machinery, especially on the farm. They ought not to hesitate: the system is now penr.a - norttw at-i V.l ili e.1 hpTnnii tha reMMtrvTTfv 1 of any other condition of aSTairs, and hence tbe farmer who hesitates to proUt by it is simply standing in his own light; be cannot stand still ; he must go with the current, and the faster be can go, the better for him.

Bat ti.e stranger repeated the words in a t in of authority, and the last coin was ban it-1 to him. The stranger whistled an 1 a g-eat Dan ish mast; if stood benide him. He hei I the coin to the dog's nowe, and leaning to the rough pavement, said ""Find theiu." The dog sniffed the gold pteo s and be gan tbe search. One. two, three , he began bringing in the coins and dropping them into h is master's hand, while the po-r servant stood by in silent wonder. Thirteen times he returned with a twenty-franc piece. Then, after a !--ttg search, he came back empty, wit'i a grunt that seemed to say, "1 here ire no more." "We are yet lacking one piece," said the stranger. "Are you sure tnere was just three hundred francs?"' "Sure aa sure can be, sir," the servant replied. "Then look in the bag again. Tiiere must be one left there." The man looked, and sure enough, found the la-t gold-piece st.li thete. "tin sir!" he exclaimed, as the strangt r sprang into his saddle, "you are my .le liverer.
