—— gp ements ae ——— GOD BLESS THE FARM. God bless the Farm—the dear old farm | God bless it's every rood, Where willing hearts and sturdy arms Can earn an honest livelihood! Can from the coarse and fertile soil ‘Win back a recompense for toil. God bless each meadow, field and nook, Begemmed with fairest flowers, And every leaf that's gently shook Bv evening breeze or morning showers ; God bless them all! each leaf’s a gem In nature’s gorgeous diadem. The orchards that, in early spring, Blush rich in fragrant flowers, And with each autumn surely bring Their wealth of fruits in golden showers; Like pomegranates on Aaron's rod, A miracle from Nature's God. And may He bless the farmer’s home, ‘Where peace and plenty reign ; No happier spot 'neath heaven’s high dome Toth this broad, beauteous earth contain, Than where, secure from care and strife, The farmer leads his peaceful life. Unvexed by toil and tricks for gain, He turns the fertile mould ; Then scatters on the golden grain, And reaps reward an hundred-fold ; He dwells where grace and beauty charm, For God hath blessed his home and farm.

We are in receipt of a series of circu- lars from Mr. BurNET LANDRETH, Chief of the Bureau of Agriculture of the Cen. tennial Commission, giving valuable in- formation regarding the arrangements which are being made for a proper repre- sentation of the Agricultural interests of the country at the great exhibition. We give below the general circular : The Centennial Commission realizing the importance of the Agricultural interests of the United States, and anticipating the de- mands that will be made for a proper repre- sentation in the International Exhibition of 1876, is making ample provision for the ac- commodation of this déhartment. It has been organized as one of the Bu- reaus of Administration of the Exhibition, and will comprehend the native and culti- vated Products of the Soil, and of objects more directly derived therefrom, Agricultu- ral Machinery and Farm Appliances. The Building, most eligibly located in Fairmount Park, will cover‘nearly ten acres. There will be provided, also, ample and suit- able accommodations for the shelter and dis- play of Live Stock, which it is intended shall be exhibited during the months of Sep tember and October. The Exhibition will open on the 10th of May, 1876, and it is therefore necessary that those who desire to exhibit cereals, forage- plants and tubers should make their prepa- rations during the present season. This exhibition being International, will bring together for comparison the best pro- ducts from every quarter of the Globe; hence every effort should be made to give just evidence of the capacity of the varied climates, soils, skill in tillage, and the char- acter of the live stock of the United States ; whilst the Mechanical aids to Agriculture should exhibit ingenuity, excellence of work- manship, and adaptation to desired ends. The classification will more fully make man- ifest the arrangement and comprehensive- ness of this department. Applications for space should be made as early as practicable, on the forms which will be furnished by the Chief of this Bureau, The prompt co-operation of State, County and other Agricultural crganizations, as well as of all individuals interested in the prac- tice of Rural Science, Stock-breeding, and Forestry, is earnestly solicited.
