TV FOR THE FARMER tiic rio. God speed the plowshare! tell me not Disgrace attends the toil Of those who plow the dark-green sod, Or till the. fruitful soil. Why should the honest plowman shrink From mingling- in the van Of learning and of wisdom, since 'Tis mind that makes the man, God speed the plowshare, and the hands That till the fruitful earth ! For there is in this world so wide AY gem like honcut worth. And though the hands are dark with toil, And flushed the manly brow, It matters not, for God will bless ..The labors of the plow. SCLCTIO Or A FAR3I. "What i a farm?" Consult "Web ster's Unabridged j" that -will tell us. "A portion or tract of laud consisting usually of pasture, meadow, til lage, and woodlaud, oultivated by one man, and usually owned by him in fee." A farm, then, is the home of the owner. Its management b the bugutess of the owner. What more can a man desire? A home, pleasant and comfortable, a business healthful and remunerative ; as much or more so than any other occupation or pro fession presents. In order to be a farmer, one must first "get a farm." Let vw talk, then, of some things to be considered in its selection. 1. The farm as a home should be pleas antly and conveniently situated. It is to be the honu-stnad and abiding place of the owner. I he health, comfort, and happi ncss of those who occupy it are of the first importance ; bo every social and phys ical influence which bear upon them should have due weight in determining a choice. Health should be considered as far above a fertile soil. Comfort will compensate for many pecuniary disadvantages. Hap piness the eujoymcut oi social privileges and advantages go far to make a sterile soil of greater value than the most easily cultivated and productive, when a moral miasma prevails. A situation convenient to market, to railroad, 6r steamboat routes, and with educational aud religious prm legos of a high class, would be considered of much importance by'the intelligent and cultivated man, who would make farniins his business and the iarm his home. 2. The farm, w a business, should be w&ll chosen to make that business profita ble. And yet, upon the management and carrying ou of the farm depends, more than anything else, the success of the farmer. Let us give a few hints on some of the esseutials to productive farming, to be thought ot by every owner of the soil The farm should in extent be suited to the means and circumstances of the farm er. One canuot put all his capital in land, and expect to farm profitably upon credit and makeshifts so cramped that all im provements seem out 01 his reach. It re quires as much capital to stock a farm, generally, as to pay tor the land itself. The farm should be suited to the" pro- uucts to wnicn u is intended to be devot ed. The tastes and experience of the owner wijl incite him to undertake certain branches of farming; but some soils are )est calculated for grain growing, others for fruit, others for the dairy or stock gen erally, while occasional locatious are to be found where all these may be combined to a greater or lesser extent. These things should be considered in determining the selection. The farm should be suited to the pro duction of crops readily and profitably marketed, as far as may be. In the man agement of the farm, much depends on market facilities, and it is worth some consideration whether it will oost ten cents or one hundred cents to bring a product before the consumer. But the recent great increase in the means of transporta tion, has done much to equalize the value of fanning lands throughout the country, especially when devoted to the more cost, ly and least bulky articles of produce. The farm should possess in itself, or its course of management should be such as to keep up within itself the power of pro ducing valuable products. A farm easily worn out a course of management rapid ly exhausting the fertility of the soil, would soon bankrupt the farmer; his business would no longer be remunerative; his home and his comforts would soon pass away. To do business profitably, one must understand business principles, and carry iiiv-iu uui, aim now nc rc is mis more 1111 portant than upon the farm. Very Good. Every one knows what keeping a tanu in order means t It docs not mean merely to keep the soil in a fertile and growing condition, but it ap plies to everything on a farm ; the build ings, the fences, the fruit trees, the farm nig implements, particularly the latter; for what man ;an do a good job with poor tools? And what is more, look at the la bor. Every one knows that it takes near ly twice the amount of labor to plow a field with a poor plow than it docs with a good one, and when it is plowed, it is not more than half done. If a man has rwinr tools they aro all the time getting out of order, and the tune lost in repairing and the labor lost in working will pay ibrood and substantial ones. JCS?"
