A Toledo mrreaptMidaai says : " Most writers on agriculture have 1 in view the weii-to-uo larmer, wui-ti recommeuding in proved implements, high t'arminj;. blooded stock, etc. Now, a vast majority of farmers are poor; many of them arc in debt mid have to labor hard to pay interest, and cannot save money to make im provements. Many ot them know much letter than they do, and they don't do better because they lack capital to carry out the advice of agricultural, teachers. Now, can't you do something for tlieiu, by telling them how they may rise to the level of the stnndiirtl set beiore tlieni The writer who gave his experience with his 'persimmon lot' was Mai- iientlv sound ; but let him tell bon tireds of Western farmers, who own scores of acres of just such laiul as his ' persimmon lot,' either hotr to underdrain them without e. needed fifty dollars tier acre, or else ""where they can obtain the money. It is just here, that the poor larmer suf fers. His clay land is too wet to plow early in the spring, and if lie waits until it is dry enough, some portions of it become so hard that his fight team cannot plow it ; :nitl so he cannot get his crops in in season, and what he does plant yields a very inadequate return for the labor bestowed upon thein. Again, this samo uian is told that he should purchase a thorough-bred bull, to improve his dairy. He neka the price, and is told ho can obtain one with a pedigree lor from $200 to 0500. He turns away atterly dis couraged. ' Tray, Mr. M., can you not come to his relief with some well devised plan of operations whereby ho may lift himself from this slough of des pond t Tell him where to proceed to evolve something out of nothing but tin- crude Material1! around him. To tell him that he should under draiu, build big barns, Jraise roots, cut aud steam his feed, subsoil, anil what not, is but to tantalize him ; but be who tells him how to do these things with his paltry wherewithal will be a public benefactor, and have accomplished some good iu his gen eration." We shall try and meet, so far aa we may, our coirespoudent's wish. Great " discouragement " is not uncommon with other men as well as with small farmers, and the diacoar agement which springs fiom "lack of suttlcieut capital" is one of the most common witli which the human family is afilicted. The best way to overcome it is to worn an Hard as we can witli tlie cap ital at command, and not waste its efficiency by malting too large a 'spread." This last failing is com mon to merchants who extend thuir business indefinitely, and to farmers who hold more land than they can thoroughly manage. It is not supposable that half the farmers in the country can bring their lauds up to the highest, pro ductive power, or can stock their farms with the best blooded stock ; yet we urge the best possible prac tice, and close attention to breeds, satislied that we shall all do better with high aims in view than with humble ones.

A man can with no more safety go beyond ; the reach of his capital in firming than he can in trade. In either case, he wants good tools and good ser v. mts, and books squarely kept. Credits may be easier in the city, hut they are easy enough iu the c.iniufr for a man wbo is industrious and prudent, and spends his money wisely. In the case supposed by onr cor- respondent, whert a farmer holds lands which can be tilled to no proftt without, drainage, we should ltd viae him to sell enough of it to enable bim to put the balauec in profitable win k iug" condition. If he can neither sell Of lay tile, let him try SlOBC drain or brush drains, or, failing these, the old system of ridmng.

A Vermont stock raiser gives the following rules for selecting cows : l irst, I get a broadside view of tbe animal, at the distance of almost two rotls, as I have noticed for years that there was a great similarity iu the ! genera proportion of all lirst class milkus, being very small in girth ! just back of their I or ward legs, as I con pared with their girth just lor ward of their hips. 1 have never known a first rate milker, of any breed, not thus proportioned ; so Unit if thin loim is wanting in an aniin.il I have recommended to me, I do not care to look at her more, unless i want u nrecil lor some .other put pose than tire dairy. For breeding oxen I should want a cow of reverse proportions, i e., I larger girth forward. I next feel the size of the milk veins, and trace .them to their entrance into t he chest , which in supeiior cows, are large, I admitting; tbe ballot the laiser tin Iger; if divided or subdivided, as is J some! hues the case. I judge ot the j size of each onlice, as 1 care less for ; the size of the vein itself than the 'orilice. Next, examine by eight or touch the utliler or bag, which must be capacious in order to hold much milk, with teats wide apart aud free from large seed warts or tores of any kind. 1 then inquire how long she Kiirs dry before calving, as I don't want family cow to give milk less than KM II tax weeks out 01 every lil'ty two; also its to the quality of the milk ; ami, to close, 1 milk her with my own hands. Potatoes to Plant, The Kurml New Ymrhtr savs: As theie is alwavs a portion ol the eron ow a proper size for marketing, a supposed economy has led growers' in general to select their seed from the small potatoes. Usually the smallest specimens tire rejected, antl those used are of the average dimen sions of a small hen epfc?- Tho wis dom of this practice has often been tpiestionetl, but experiments have proved that small seed give as good results for single crops as large, hence farmers have doubted the economy ol planting full grown tu ber, lint there is another view to be taken of the niaiter, which ha escapetl the attention ol most culti vators. The small potatoes are those, which set ami mature latest, anil if such . ... aie. elnisen lor seetl, year alter year. u,(. tendency is to make the period , lw rjpeuillg of the the ripening of the variety later. This is illustrated in the peach blow potato ; when lirst introduced it ri pened earlier than at present. Now, if planted as early as possible it is hardly ripe when froet kills the vines, and, on account of the lateness in ripening, this most valuable sort has grown to be one of the most difficult of all to cultivate. We advise pota to growers to reflect on this point. Plant I he eai best, ripening specimens of a variety, as ou would ol corn, aad, if practicable, procure full grown seed irom extreme Northern locali ties where tin1 habit of ripening car Iv is fixed. In this way we think market improvement might be made on some of our best old standard sorts, and new ones kept irom dc generat ing. Fertiliier.

Wc remember of reading a table where a dog w as the. prominent ac- tor; he had a piece of meat iu his month walking across a stream on a log ; he saw below him m the water another .lt; witli a piece ot meat ; he dropped liis own to seize the other, etc. We feel certain there are many of our readers who have made many dollars in 1869, and they will throw it on the negro and the mule, two as uncertain animals as were ever harnessed together unless thu tb it er has them well in hand. We fear our friends will run up the cotton crop to four millions, or over three, and down w ill come the price, am! some of it will not be gathered price getting to ten cents, negroes will not pics it. ( 'ertainly twenty-five cents for cot ton, and even seventy live cents for corn, v. ill be enough to satisfy a pru dent man, if he will be content with live bales and two hundred bushels of corn. But let the live bales only k '11 for twenty cents, four hundred dollars, and two hundred bushels of corn at fifty cents, which will give one -hundred bushels for place, and live hundred dollars to the hand. Potatoes, hay, meat, oats and iu provement to place will lie satisfac tory. We honestly believe two mil lion of bales will give two hundred million of dollars, ami ample sup plies, whilst four million of bales w ill surely come under one hundred and fifty million, and supplies scarce and high.

Anthem Farmer. 9" One step towards independ ence, says the Natchez Courier, has been made last year by the people of the South, in the production of grain. !5o far, so good ; but tha high price that pork has attained within tlw. noet it, o.l lot, ..a Ihnl anotDer cfft)rt mQst he raadv bv onr people, w ho are so fast accommodat ing themselves to the changes in their condition nn.l the labor system, that they still have another lesson to learn, which is the production of meat. The great difficulty iu raising pork on large plantations is found in guarding the hogs from the night depredations of the plantation hands and the numerous idlers that are to be found on every place, connected by tome ties of relationship with the laborers. Small farmers can raise hogs, and every man that raises one or more a season, not only benefits himself, but has in a manner bene- tittetl his country. If the planters throughout thu whole country would come to tbe conclusion to use at least one half good fat mess beef in lieu of pork, they would soon find that their hands, after becoming ac customed to the change, would be benefitted by it, and the pork "ring" would receive a blow that, would soon reduce the price from thirty three to fifty per cent.

The Oenettee Farmer says one of his neighbors has painted his out houses, fences, &c., with u paint made as follows, and found it nearly as good as ordinary oil paint, and vastly cheaper. In fact the cost is scarcely anything except the labor: Take half a bushel of nice unslack cd lime; slack it with boiling water, over it during the process to keep in the steam, and add to it a peck of clean salt, previously well dissolved iu water; three pounds of ground l it e boiled to a this paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half a pound of clean glue which has been previously dis solved by first soaking it well and then hanging it over a slow lire, iu small kettle within a large one lill ed with water. Add one gallon of hot water to the whole mixture ; stir it. well, and let it Stand a lew days eoveicd from the dirt. It should be put on right hot; for this purpos' , ' t can be kept in a kettle on a poll- able furnace. It is said that about OBO pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon tbe outside of a house, if propel ly applied. lirushes tnoie or less small may be i;se 1 according to the neatness ol the job required. It answers as well as oil paint tor wootl, brick or stone, and is cheaper. It retains its bril liancy for many years. There is no thing of the kind that will compare with it, either lor inside or outside walls. Coloring matter may be put in, anil made of any shade you like. SpTiuish brown stirred in will make red or pink more or less deep accord ing to the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty for inside walls, finely pulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown beiore it is stirred into the mixture, makes a lilac color, very suitable for the out side ot buildings. Lampblack and Spanish brown mixed together pro duce a reddish stone color. Yellow tKrhre stirred iu makes a yellow wash; j but chrome goes farther, antl makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases tbe darkness of the shade will of course be determined by the quantity of coloring used. It is difficult to make a rule, because ' tastes are very different it would be best to try experiment on a shin gle, ami lei it dry. We have been told that green must not be mixed with lima, The lime destroys the 'color, and the color has an effect upon the whitewash, which makes it crack and peel. When walls have been badly smoked, and when you wish to have, them a clean white, it is well to squeeze indigo plentifully through a bag into the water used, before it is stirred into the whole mixture. tf a larger quantity than Bve gal Ions ie wanted ihesame proportions j should be observed. Our friend says that thirty cents worth of coloring mailer will be enough for the half bushel ol' lime. Spanish brown, yellow ocbre, cost three cents a pound. Lampblack and Princess brown coal five cents a pound. Toe latter git es a handsome 111. ie . hade. Cottos Seed M kal. TUe Uairds horo (Miss.) Democrat, in its issue of SalUfiljty, suvs: Messrs.

The Horticulturist says that the man lives not in vain w ho plants trees who plants them everywhere, in tbe street, around his dwelling, op and down the fields, along the hills. While living, they are in their life, leaf, blossom and shade, as near and dear and welcome to him as kindred or friends; silent but beautiful companions. The graceful dro'op or waving of their blossoms is a continual greeting aad blessing. Hkat this who can. The Coos (Cal.) Republican has been keeping a record ot big beets; but announces at last that " the beet that beat the beet that beat the other beet, is now beaten by a beet that beats nil tin- S"hS tthe0 hector 'beet that beat the beet that beat the beet.'' That beats us. A Picture. Donn Piatt in the Cincinnati Ga. zette, sketches as follows the picture j of one Senator. He could fill a gil- i lery with the like of him, as easily: ! I look across the Stieet anil see in j front ot a Senators house the car riage of another Senator. The pair j of Uetoded horsi -seost some thousand dollars. The giltted harness is in keeping. The close, handsome, shin ; big coach is one of Breton's best, 1 lined with silk velvet, and graced with the choicest and thickest of plate glass. On tlie coachman's seat sit two of God's creatures called men ; one a bright mulatto, and the other a white man, aud both in livery. They sit in solemn silence, antler their gay robe of tins and white gloves. Directly the door of the house opens antl two latlies carrying a poor man's fortune on their backs, descend the Steps. The footman swings down ami opens the door with an easy ijrace the master can not imitate. The door closes with a br.ng, the footman mounts and the coach rolls away. Well, it seems but yesterday that the owner of all this came here a poor man. We remember the fairy tale, where the old witch touched the pumpkin and turned it into a coach, and touched the rats and turned them into horses. And so the ugly witch of the lob. iv touched the poor man, and out of fraud came the coach, and out of theft came the horses, and swindle drives, and stealings oil antl burnish. Like that witch, I could touch that man with this deli cate little pen of mine, ami carriage antl horses, coachman and tootnian, woald all disappear.
