HOME" AND ;FARM.
4lTi"ihat by the plow would thrive.
''ftlftiMlf must elrtier holtfor drir."
1, Wjiat art of Farmer -Says. v ,
This is the ad rice of an old man who
fas tiffed ftbe soil for forty "years': "
lam an old roan, trpwards of tlireo
re years, during two. scores of
which. J iiaVe tilled the soif. I cannot
ay that I m now, but I have bees
rich, and hare all that I need, do not
owe a dollar, have given my children
a good education, and ivlicn I oro call
ed away will leave them enough to
keep the wolf from the door. My ex
patience has taught me that :
1. One acre of land well prepared
and well - cultivated, prodnced ' more
than two which received only the same
amount of labor nsed on one.
2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or
hog well fed, is more profitable than
two kent on the same amount neces-
-
fary to keep one well.
One acre of clover or grass is
worth more then two of cotton where
no grass or clover is raised. -
41 No farmer who buys oata. corn,
wheat, fodder'and hay, as a rule for
tDn years, can keep the sheriff away
from the door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the
papers and sneers at book farming and
improvements, always has a leaky roof,
poor stock, broken -down fences and
Otnplalns of liacl "seasons."
. . 6. The farmer who is above hi3 busi
ness and intrusts it to another to man
aee. soon his-uo" .easiness to attenc
to. ' ' .
7, The farmer whose habitnal bever
ago is cold water, is healthier, wealthier
and wiser than he wha does not refuse
to drink. : -
Things f hat Pay.
Ik pays to.havea garden, if yon wil
fake care of it; il yon can't' or won'
do not attempt it. Perhaps a dozen o
your neigntoors arc inane same nx; in
which case you might club together
and hire a gardener on the co-opera-
tire plan. If your make n garden,
pays to enrich the ground liberally.
Nathing from nothing is one of natnre'e
by-laws, if not a part of the constitu
tion of things. Stable manure is ade
quate for nearly all purposes. The
value of wood ashes, especially for
potatoes, peas, early beans, etc.. is also
very great. It piys to withhold your
seeding until your ground is dry and
can be thoroughly pulverized, particn
larly for all root crops and for corn. It
pay to sow your vegetables in Ion?
rows instead of the old-fashioned hech.
and to toe' stakes and line in plantinj
Attry thing, that your rows . may r be
ftrinr -and even. ; It pays to rotate
rtoptfam one spot in the ' garden ' to
another. , When the; ground is wormy
ft ijs to use lime. It pays to, kill
a waed wherever and as soon as you
ee lt. ' ' "
If a liUla cMond of lime be epread
cm the 60iL rats, mice, and insects
wlU'at once desert it. Plants may be
easily protected by it from: insect
ptaguesV by simply brushing o-cr their
stems -with a solution of it. It has of
ten been? noticed that a patch which
fias been treated in this way remains
free from grubs, while the unprotected
beds round about arc literally devalu
ed! . Fru't trec3 may be guarded from
their attacks by attaching to the stems
pieces Ptow smeared with a mixture
of chloride oF lime anvl hog's lard. Ants
aad grubs already in possession will
then rapidly vacate the position."
A lady on one occasion said to Mr.
. Wesley "Supposing Vou were t3 know
that you would die to-morrow night
j at twelve o'clock, how wonld you spend
tfie intervening time?"' "Why, just as
I intend to spend it." said he. "I
ahonld preach to-night at Gloucester
and again tomorrow t.vorning. After
that I would ride to Teaksbury, preach
in the afternoon meet the society in
llie-cvening. I should then repair to
my friend Martin's house, as he expecis
to entertain me ; converse anl pray
'with the family ; retire to my room at
"tfcn o'clock ; commend myself to my
Heatenly Father , lie down to rest, and
