'IMPHOVE YOUR FARMING.
OM habit i w*ieh ate nn: now P'lying
«hanld be nbandonel, an i newer and
tltllf paying oues adopted The ob
ject shtuni be to maKO every acre of
Ulable land yield its troasuran w.*h the
least possible expense. U'hnu fivo har
xels of eora per aero can bo produced,
we should not be satisfied with uao bar-
Mi. As this is oot a stouk-raising
,it is uaotlless to say there is
itMrt eDOOgh ftannre to go ail ovor the
4MMI ground, therefore we must use
lomo welltried fertilizer.—or what is
wore economickl vuikt il ourselves,
—that will increase the product. It is
«f no use to continue to farm jHx.r land
•hen it ia possible to improve it. The
«oat ot fanning poor land is gruuter than
(bat attending better land, and the
bor more discouraging. Tborc should
b« more attention given to vcftable
gardening, to the cultivation cf small
Jroiu and the raising of poultry. Perk
Is the most axpensivu food, besides its
tendency to luak? people gioas and vul
var. "A great pork eater," says Mr.
Cartw, and a man of delicate gensibili
4lea, are opposites A pound of ciiiek
«b ean be produced on a farm as cheap
ly as a pound of pork, ard the same is
tree of muttou—both better than hog
flesh. Eat more poultry and mut
to.
There is too tnnch "hog and and hom
iny," too much moat in tbo diet of the
Atnner—perk espuoially. More fruit
•ad a larger variety of vegtables ought
to be used. "As to meat, says Mr
Goodman of Lenox, Mass., a two ycai
old steer can be raised at no greatci
#•! than a hog. Faoklng' rtie beef it
M barrel, the farmer will have a botte;
quality of beef, at all events, will di
versify the food of his family, and if Li
Adds the vegtabli.-* whioh ought to b
grown in his garden, his family will im
prove in health and in morals." Thcri
*■ scarcely a farmer'? garden knewu ti
-is in Stokes ectinty, in which there \
asparagus, or cauiiSower, or celery, o.
-egg-plant. If these vcgtables are
luxury, there is no good reason why to
farmers of this county should not hav
them. Mote attention should bo pai
to (besetting out and cars of fruit-tree
for domestiv use as well as f«.r drying
for market. Nothing yields a n.or
bountiful and at the same time uior
aervioeabie return, fot so small aD out
lay of cost and amount of carc than at
orchard, and us llawlhorsu has written
in that exquisite and natural ee.-cnp
tire way, of whioh ho was a perfec
master. "An Oichard has a relation u
■ankind, and readily connects itsel.
with matters of the heart. Tho treci
poscsses a domestic character, they havt
lost the wild nature of thuir forosi kin
dred, and have groan humanized by
receiving the care of man, as well as by
contributing to his wants." Tho pres
ent system of atoek ranging will have to
givo way before the onward march of
soiling and the no-fencing system. The
road superintendent with his gang of
full hands, must yield to the now roaj
aeraper aud smoother. On our ocst
bottom land the old com and hay and
elover methods uiay yot satisfy tho far
mer, but bottom land comprises tho
smaller part of the area of this countr*'.
and with increase of population an in
creased attaution should be giv«-n to the
improvement of the uplands and to
working thorn to tho best advantage.
Farmers should make themselves ac
quiinted willt the different species of
grasses id cultivation, and select euuh
as sre specially adapted to the soil in
which they are to bo grown, and sow
•eversl kiuds together, manure fre
qasn'iy, recced when grasses begin to
die oat nnder-drain whon the lsnd is
toe Wet and eold, irrigate, if possible,
and especially if more lhau ouo crop ia
be out in a season, keep stock from
•topping the grass close to tho gr mnd,
and from treading the fields late tn An
imus and winter and di.nt mow too
•iosely, especially tiuiotbly, which it
e«it below the lower joint, is almost
eeruiu to die out This is the experi
ence and and advice of Mr. John 8.
