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?" Ab Irishman was hired by a farm
er to plow; finding he was making a poor
haml at the business, the fanner asked :
"Did yoa not tell me, sir, you could hold
x plow?" "Arrah! be aisy now," said
Tat ; how the deuce can I hold it, and two
horses drawing it away from mo V 9
