STAR OF THE NORTH. I
LICK AND PLUCK.
Every community has its "lucky" man.
The boys in the streets know him, and
point him out as he passes, the admiring
crowd lift their hats to him, the unsuccess
ful envy and perhaps traduce him. Suc
cess seems natural to him. If he was not
born with a gold spoon in his moulh, he has
long since exchanged his wooden one for it.
Every thing he touches seems to turn to his
advantage. That farm he bought a few
years since, would now sell for double the
money. If there is but one good crop
raised in the town, you will bo sjire to find
it in his fields ; and then what prices his
produce always brings him. Depend upon
it, there's something in it, ' he's a lucky
man." This is the outside view, and a
most pernicious one. Let a man " curse
liis tars," complain of his hard fate, and
sigh and wait for luck ; Jet him feel the
conviction that success is something inde
finite, uncertain, which may or may not
follow efforts, as a kind of mislerious, un
controllable chance may direct, and it is
not difficult to predict his future. His stars
will be unlucky; the golden comet wilh its
splendid train of glorious results, for which
he looks, will never be seen above his
horizon.
The man of "luck" is a man of "pluck."
We like that word. It is solid and yet
elablic. It has a ring like steel It tells of
a man who does not know when he is con
quered. If the backward Spring disappoints
his calculations for a large corn crop, he
is sure to have a fine field of buckwheat .
or if this fail, he rejoices in a follow ready
for a notable yield of Winter grain. II
debt presses heavily upon him, it but bends
him more closely lo his worlj. But more
than all is the plucky man distinguished
by venluring boldly when there is a proba
bility that success may be attained. Scarce
ly a man of fifty years but remembers the
time that success \va within his reach, had
he nerve enough lo break from bis old
routine, and follow the opening; while
many a one has been deterred from compe
tence and even fortune, by timidly adher
ing to " old ways," good only in age. The
cultivator especially, who hopes to succeed
now, must have not only the energy which
rises against opposition, and bear up under
misfortunes, but also the enterprise which
looks for and adopts improvements; and
there never was a time when such enter
prise had surer promise of success, for nev
er before were improvements, both in the
manner and implements of cultivation, more
marked and abundant. The lucky man of
to-day will be the lucky man ten years
hence.— Am. Agriculturist.
PRUNING.—ShouId be done in May and
June, but not in the winter, as is the opinion
of some fruit growers. I will give some rea
sons for spring and summer pruning :—lf
you cul off a limb of any size in the winter,
the bark dies around the stump from which
the limb was cat, and does not, for a long
time, if ever, cover the stump : whereas,on
the contrary, if cut off in May or June, when
the sap is in full flow, it will go on to grow,
and it not too large, cover the stump, the
first j ear. The tree should be trimmed well
out of tne middle, so as to give the tree and
fruit air; limbs that incjine to grow straight
out, should be cropped, or shortened, so as
to give the tree an upward tendency. Trees
should be trimmed up, so that a team of
horses can work under them without bark
ing the limbs; swingletrees should be muffl
ed so as to prevent barking the trees.
In cultivating trees, the earth should be
thrown from them every other year; that is
when you begin to plow your trees, begin
in the middle of the rows, and when you
get near the trees lake out one of your horses
and plow with a single horse, and thereby
you can get very near the tree, and the earth
you cannot throw from the tree with the
plow, should be taken away with the hoe ;
and on the contrary, when you throw the
furrow to the trees, it should be done with
one horse. At least, two furrows should be
thrown with one horse. The plowing should
be deep so as the roots may find moisture
in time of a drought.
The foregoing is the way that I have
treated my trees, and every one who has
seen them, says they are most flourishing,
and the largest trees they have ever seen. I
have a young orchard which 1 shall treat
in the same way. — [R. Semans.— Cecilton,
February 18th, 1859. *
"CAN CORN FED TO HOGS BE MADE TO PAT
EAST OF OHIO?"— Corn fed to swine can be
made to pay almost anywhere, by proper
management. However fertile land may be,
I do not believe you can farm it long with
out manure. Therefore, in feeding corn to
liogs, have an eye to the manure. In fat
tening swine, the meat is one object and
the manure is equally another. When pork
is worth six cents per pound, you get seven
ty-five cents per bushel, in pork for your
corn ; and with proper management, yon
get, in the long run, seventy-five cents more
in manure. Turr. your pigs into your or
chard up to the middle of Augtst; then put
them into the sty, with a good yard, into
which throw turf, muck, leaves, sawdust,or
anything to absorb the ammonia. Sawdust,
usually wasted, is much more valuable than
many imagine. When thrown into hog
yards or stables, it absorbs the ammonia,
and forms amost valuable fertillizer.—HONES
TUS STEARNS, in Genessee Farmer.
An exchange paper says that the girls
in some parts of Pennsylvania, are so hard
up for husbands, that they actually take up
with Printers and lawyers. This is not the
case at Bloomsburg, we're certain. A
word of advice—Girls, shun printers and
lawyers.
Mr. Pullup coming home late, "pretty
full,'' finds the walk slippery, and exclaims:
