FacU for Farmers.
Agriculture is the life of the world.
It feeds and clothes the world. About
six thousand million dollars are invested
in agriculture, whicn is 'about five-sixths
more than all the other capital together.
The country gains about fifteen millions
yearly by fanning. In the State of
New York, where is the great trading
city of New York, the farmers pay
about four-fifths of the taxes.
It is seldom a farmer is sent to the
penitentiary, in comparison with other
professions. Farmers have graced all
the distinguished offices.
Only from two to four per cent, of
bankrupts are farmers.
The healthiest people arc farmers ;
and the most contented also.
A farmer seldom breaks down, unless
he has other business connected with his
farm.
What will do for one season (on a
farm) will not always do for another.
Drouth, rain, excess of heat, unusual
prevalence of insects, and frost (in the
ground) have much to do. We should
farm upon general principles, and take
advantage of others as much as may be
at the time. Consequently each man
must determine for himself.
Plowing land wet, and then letting it
dry, is working on the principle of
making brick the wetter and more
dned, the more like brick. Therefore,
to the degree that we avoid the brick,
will be our success so far as the work
ing of the soil is concerned. " But the
frost will remedy this." But it will
not, oniy in a measure, ana tnat a
small one. Hence, the frequent lumps
in the spring of fall plowed land.
Millions 01 dollars' wortn or gram
and grass is lost by cutting too ripe.
Valley Farmer.
Hake a Strawberry Bed.
It is but little trouble to make a bed.
Plants are cheap, and the postal ar
rangements are such that those living
far from nurseries can readily get by
mail plants of enough choice kinds for
a, beginning. Any good garden soil,
enriched with old manure, will raise
good strawberries. If there are but
few plants to start with, the object
should be to multiply them as rapidly
as possible ; set them out eighteen
inches or two feet apart each way, prick
off the blossom buds if any appear and
"keep free from weeds. Runners will be
thrown out and form new plants, and a
dozen plants will in a year multiply
-enough to set out a very large plot. A
stock o plants having been procured,
make beds 4 feet wide, with suitable
-alleys between. Three rows of plants
-can be put on the bed, eighteen inches
each way, which will bring the outer
rows six inches from the edge of the
bed. In setting out the plants, the old
partly decayed leaves and all runners
should be removed. It is the custom of
some good cultivators to cut off the roots
one-third or one-half their length. In
planting, spread the roots well and
press the earth well around without
covering the plants. A mound of earth
is made in the hole, the plant is set up
on the ground with its roots carefully
spread out over it, and the hole then
.filled with earth. We planted in this
way a bed of over a thousand plants
without losing one. There are two
ways of growing strawberries. One is
to keep all the runners pinched back as
fast as they appear. In this way the
Slants form large stools and continue in
earing five or six years. Most varie
ties do well in this way, but Wilson's
Albany, from its manner of growth, is
not so well suited for this kind of cul
ture. Another, and the most common
vway, is to let the runner grow, and a
bed of this kind will give one full crop
and a partial one ; when it is spaded
up. There of course should be another
bed ready to succeed it. Agricultur

A FACT WITH A MORAL,
A celebrated artist in one of his rambles
met with the most beautiful and interesting
child that he had ever seen. " I will paint
the portrait of this child, he said, ' and
keep it for my own ; for I may never look
upon its like again." He painted it ; and
when trouble came, and evil passions moved
his spirit to rebel, he gazed upon the like
ness of the boy, and passion fled, and holier
thoughts entranced his soul. Years passed
away, and at length, within a prison's walls,
Jw sees a man stained with blood, with
glaring cjes and haggard face, and with
demoniac rage, cursing himself and fellow
beings, and blaspheming God, as he lay
Waiting for the moment of his execution.
The artist transferred his likeness also to
the canvass, and placed it opposite to the
child's. IIow striking ! how complete the
contrast! The angel boy the fiendish
nan!
What must havo been the feelings of the
artist, when, upon inquiry, he found that
both the portraits he had made were of the
same individual ! The beautiful, the inno
cent child, bad grown into the hideous, the
sinful aan ! Maine Democrat
