Every man "who claims to be an apo3tle is not an apostle, no more than every man who clainn to be a statesman is a statesman, or who claims to be a lawyer , or a do tor, or a poet , or an histoii in, or a farmer is what he claims to be. No man knows so much that he can not learn more in the same department. We are all dependent upon each ot'icr more or less and can learn from each other if we are not stuck up, stiff necked and self-conct ited. From the most iguorant and unlettered, the wisest of us can learn something worth knowing if e are not above our c dling. Now is it not time the pro fession, or calling of farming was placed upon the right foundation, and th:t it takes its proper and or dairitd position among the honorable an 1 dignified callings to which the family of man belongs? The man who is too proud, too good, too learned, too highly cultivated and polished to make a farmer , is too worthless, self conceited and puff d up to make a success in any other profession. It requires mo;e general information, more talent, learning, true, gtnius and noble manhood to make a sch-ntific, successful fanner than it does to make a successful lawyer, doctor, preacher, merchant, teacher, or professor in any of the scientific departments 1 a i ins. Yet if a boy thick skulled, duP. or mirw?PfM:p is at. crce sent to the j farm Much better fend that boy ! tr.

Tie brightest most ner?ttic, pnhirr hoy is the boy to r i .,t oil the fim. In fact, the laggard, ti)p s,U(jj eijW the drone wili never make a coon cultivator of the SOI ; The legal profession is full, foot. crammed fr m head. to many of whom ouht to be plowing or burring brush. The medical pn - ! fe&sion is full to overflowing, mail j of whim kill more pat.ier.t3 than they cure. The ministry, well shall we say it too is full? That would not half express the truth. It is full and surfeited. Wl en a lellow is too bzy to work, too proud to be, and t' o p. or to live without ei'hcr, h at once claims that the Lord has c; lied him to preach the unsearch able riches of the king 'om not yet seen. To become a professor in our institutions of learning a man must have some ability and a little lean ing, so but few seek this calling. In truth there is no room in any of the legal , medical, or literary ocaiious of life for any but the most talented, gified and thoroughly learned. There is always room and to spare for thi class. Hut few attain the highest eminence in any of these professions. The numher who reach the top round in iLe ladder is very small Tuen what must be done with oui young men? If possible induce then., to go on the farm. Here the field is unexplored. Here is food for tin. mind, soul, anil body. Here is con tentment, happiness and !ovc. Here the intellect can grow, expand and develop t its fullest and grandest powers. Here he can commune witi himself, with nature in all her aiory and with God in all his sublimit gracdttir and wonderful, stupend ous and incomprehensible goodness, greatness and power.

Yes, send the hright, fprightly , ac tive boy to the farm, and Send the laggard. the drone to, well do as you please ; but please don't put him on the farm. The calling is too noble, too ex cellent, too ncr in accordance with the will still fixed decrees of eten-.-in to he thi s tampered with.

IVrlilixing; Willi C'Iovit, As regards keeping up the fer tility of the farm, bought manures are too expensive, and it is hardly, possible to make a sufficiency ot tiome-made manures ;we then mmt resort to sowing clover, rotatin: crops, and resting part of the farm Sowing clover is our cheapest and surest way of fertilizing, for when growing on the land, we can graze it or mow it for forage , and its ef fects as a fertil zer last for several years. Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio, one of the most intelligent and suc cessful farmers of the West, says this of clover: "With thirty-rive years of careful observation of the effects of clover, I have eaeh year valued it higher than I did the pre vious year ; a crop of clover ctnnot be grown on any soil without, .bene- 6ting; no matter what use it is put tc wl ether pastured, cut for hay. allowed to mature a crop of seed, plowed under, or burned off, and each farmer who grows clover can determine for himself what is the best use he can put it to ; the roots of clover are the most important factor in the fe. tilizing Value of the soil, because their drieel weight con siderably exceeds that of the dried weight of the op; ind also because they are richer in food elements than the tops."

M Foscue and L. A. Ha wiod) two good farm ers of Jones county, say that iea vines are excellent manure but they never turn them under unhl the hogs have gone through them and gathered all the peas.

Henderson Gold Leaf. There are a few rules in regard to maintaining fertility which should be followed. One is that all the un sold or unfed portions of crops should, if possible, be returned to the soil upon which they grew, or an equivalent should be returned.Thus, if wheat is raised, the grain sold and the straw composted with the dung of animals, we form a manure which returus much that was re moved by the crop. If the straw be partly or wholly fed to animals, still a large portion naturally finds its way back to the soil . A portion of the plant fW)d supply of the soil is irrevocably lost in the grain so'd, in t;.e bones of the animals, in tne milk sold off the farm, etc. Bui wu can calculate very nearly what this loss is nd make it good r.t small expense if we not delay tbj long, the soil is so much les?, ari 1 whoever docs sell these rroducts should surely plan to buy fertilizers to make his drafts ui on the toil.

A farmer is supposed to be prac tcally acquaint d with ever) thing concerning agriculture, and to know wht is best to do under all cireum- stances in order to obtain remuner- ative cri ps ; bnt the tact is that no one farmer in an uvcrage life-time car try enough experiments to know everything, and he n ti-t embrace every opportunity to find out ar.d to study the recorded experiments oi others. j The information regarding when and Low to break land and when to! turn under soil fjf stubble, or a crop grown for manure, has come down to us from our ancestors, an 1 has not been verified by experiments, j One farmer continues to break the stubble land in October , another ul wa) s burns off the weeds n 1 stubble in February, and then breaks the land for corn or cottf b ahtd ecfch thinks his plan right because hi father did so. Very few have ex penmented to find whether tnere is not a better idam Many of our ideas have bei i recti vett frcra North ern fattceis anil writers, where the con litions ot climate are quite the reverse of these exirttina hi the South.

Drying winds sweep the bare,f.e!ds; winter" rains wash the ciitton ar.d corn lands into guliies , and all the e!er.ei:ts seem to conspire to rob the soil of nitiogen. How can this great loss be pre vented? Cannot the farmer, to som. extent at least, covei his land with manuring crops which will shade and piotect the hnd from sun , wind and washing rain until he is re dv to plant the spring erou? This covering, after serving the purpose of shad, ng the land for sev - era! months, and iu hit way jm. pr iving the condition of the siil. will be equal in value , when turned under, to many wagon loads of mans ure per acre, an.i will go far towards improving larger an I more profitanl crops. A. in New Berne Journal. I'tiMiliiglns; 'rn Kfsilk After IIukiiif. Mr. O. B. Potter, of New York, in : writing to the Husbandman of his j ten years'-experience in mtikriiz en-j silage, describes his management of, his corn crop as follows: , 'During the last four years, I have practiced a new method of harvest- ing corn, of which I raise from 2o to 40 acres per year. I had previously : cut the corn up by the roots, stacked, cured and husked it tne ordinary way from the stalk, and then stacked or stored the stal.es in the barn, cut-j ing lham up and feeding them dry,: or moistened in wimer. By the new ; method I husk directly from the i standing corn in the field as soon as; the corn is dry enough to permit j this. The co n wi en husked Is ! spread to the depth of about twelve ; inches upon slatted floors or shelves insidi my buildings, placed one above the other and about three feet apart , the air passing freely under and over these floors and through the ; corn. As fast as the corn is husked, the stalks are cut up close to the ground and immediately put into ensilage pits, the cutting and filling ! proceeding in the method before dc j scribed. The juice remaining in the J stalk, in the nu ined portions of the j leaves, and iu the thicker leaves, is ! sufficient to establish active fermeut - atiou, and the whol mass settles and compacts so as to be perfectly pre- rved as ensilage. If ihe corn is very dry before husking the stalks when cut up may be moistened with water to secure the perfect ferment utlon and set'Iement of the mass. When the busking ie complete, the Iks are in the engage pit ami j ready for feeding, The ensilage, al-; though not as rich as that made . from etalks before t- gra-s has be- come hsrdencn, l t:n I bCi-tcr eit! er for milch cows or dry sock than the 9ane wugntoi lair nay; ana iui la ensilage is eati u by the c itt:e v, iuv out one pa-tkl- ! waste.

The la bor :e-''rel for gathering and en- sila- i.n' these st. l';s in tl.4 n T'.niu r I have ucscntvd, is very much less, I think not more tha-. half, th.t re quired for binding, shocking, pre strvmg and cutting up and feeding drv as hitherto practiced; while thS ' value Uf hie stalks rescred as cn sil.ee in ti e way I have descrihed. i, in rn j .dgr' in', quite doi.bleti.

The ' time of raking and the size of the vyindrows give us complete control of ! the operation of curing. If cured too rapidly we lose part of the he ids and leaves, and lose at the same time the fin.'st quality and aroma of the hay. If cured too 9lowly we run too great risk from the weather. The windrows should be turned or rolled over once or twb e to expose new surfaces to the suu anel air, but need not be rc-spread as in the method of cocking. '1 he latter, indeed, is too costlv in time and labor for modern farming". "If partly cured hay is likely to be caught in a storm, cocking and j hay caps may be resorted to ; but the j great secret of successful haymaking j is not to be thus caught. In hay- j making, as usually practiced, the; cutting can be done in the morning ; the raking toward evening, aud the hauling" next day. In this case, and j still more when the already partly j dried grass can be cut and secured i i n the same day, but little risk of; rain, w ith ordinary observation and , prudence , need be run. Eeu the, extra early succulent grass, which' makes the finest cow hay, can be cut, properly cured and housed in : three days, which is within the limit ' of the extra fine weather couditionsj noted above. But these must be J watched for, prepared for, and when ! ' taey come, must be l unproved with j an extra force and energy. And, in j my opinion, no extra outlay will so 'well repay the dairyman as that which secures such winter feed. The amount of drying fr curing needed depends very much upon the stor ing. " If the mows are mere shelves wLPre the luy will b, only a r,-, feel in d-pth an 1 ! lth, then tho hay nsiiM be well cured or noullj will surely sppear. I'.on tU- con j trary. they are dep an.
