THE JEFFERSONIAK : FINDLAY, HANCOCK COUNTY. OHIO, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1872. Home and farm. Educatng Farmers. It U tmiTeraally admitted, atr east Djail sensible persons, that far mers retire a specific course ot edu cation, oneadapted to their calling and calculated to fit them for its purauits as much as lawyers or doctors or clergymen. Not that farming is a matter of theory merely: it must! be learned by practice as much as any mechanical trade; but mere hand work -will not make an intelligent far. mer, nor -can 4t, as a general thing, make successful one. Fanning is both a science and an art. The eot enoe cannot be learned simply by till ing the soil, nor can the art be learned from books. It is by overlooking this combina tion that some practical fanners on the one hand hare decried agricultural education, and on the other band sci entific farmers have shown such a poor fist at practical farming. Study and practice, knowledge and apprentice ship must go together to ensure the highest success. In this connection we make a signif " icant extract from an "Address to the Agricultural Organizations in the Uni ted States, prepared by the National Agricultural Association at Nashville, Oct. 3d, 1871," which was read at the recent Convention at Washington, X.C: , .,r I " The history of the last quarter ot a century records nothing ot more importance to the world at large than the rapid and wide spread uplifting of the business of agriculture ,rora a con dition wherein Soluier knowledge nor skill were requisite, but only brute force, to that wherein a wider range of knowledge and a higher skill may find ample employment, than is demanded - in any other calling. : This is no vain boast, but a fact standing out in bold relief and challenging the attention ot every thoughtful student ot the pres ent times. The history of this upris ing, though brief, is brimful! ot inter, est and instruction. - It is not the re sult of any one discovery, though ma ny discoveries have contributed there to; nor the product of anyone inven tion, though many inventions have aided. '. like all great results, it isthe product of many combined forces- the effect ot many far-reaching causes To enumerate these were almost to catalogue the arts and sciences, while to detail their operations were to write the history of ' the times; either is much beyond our purpose. It suffices to say that agriculture has come to be recognized as a science and an art second to none other known to man. And, henceforth, the man who aspires to the foremost place as an. agricultu rist, must needs acquaint himself with a wide range of sciences, and master the principles of many arts. In other words, the farmer now needs his schools and his colleges as much as the lawyer and the physician schools and colleges, too, of equal grade and wider compass. This is the meaning of the movement that, in tne world of education, marks the present from all other times. Industrial schools and colleges have arisen during the pres ent century in every civilized country throughout Christendom. Results so wide-spread, and yet so uniform, can only flow from a force deep-seated, far-reachingandkresistible. That force is the uprising of the industrial clasHec." Sheep and Wool. The few wool growers who kept up their flocks . "on principle," through the last four discouraging years, we now jolly over the situation. Snch persistent flock-masters as Thomas Gorby, of Portage, Calvin Caswell, of Erie, and Win- F. Greer, of Lake, all of Ohio.have their dish right side np for the shower of porridge. I have a letter from a large wool grower in Illinois, who kept np his fine flock in Ohio, until patience ceased to be a virtue, and then took them West, which says: from a ride "I have just returned on horseback through Vermillion county, Ind., Vermillion, Edgar, Douglass and Piatt counties, III., in search of stock sheep, and have to report that there are, at most, liter ally no sheep of any kind to be found in those counties, which, four 'years ago, were among the largest wool producing counties in the State. All along my route of travel, I could bear of where there had. been Socks of from five hundred to several thousand but three or four years ago, but all are invariably known to have been fed for mutton and shipped to market- I learn from one of the principal buy ers of Bloomington, that there was not more than one-fifth U e amount'of wool purchased in the market, from McLean county, the past year, that there was three years ago. For the past four years, np to last season, the dairymen of the West have had the better of the wool growers Last year was hard on the dairymen, and now many of them are desirous of going outof the dairy business anil into wool growing. . To do this will require a sacrifice at both ends of the change, since they cannot well dispose of their cows, and sheep are few and dear, and the change - would be . like that hazardous one of swapping homes S. D. Hin Moore's Rural. Evert meadow, every pasture, is a battle field where plants of different kinds are fighting for their chances. Supply your friends with what they want freely, and they will overpower their opponents without further assis tance. The washing down ,hy rain from hilly, stony pastures of : soluble mineral substances takes subsistence from the plants we desire to encourage Spread rich soil, guano, wood ashes, upon a peaty swampy turf, where you never before saw white clover or use ful grasses, and suddenly they will make their appearance without even being sown. . They have been there before,waiting only for a better chance, but yon could not see them, for they were overrun by coarser plants and powerless from starvation. ..... Wk. T. Campbell writes the Rural ' Xem Yerker: ,"It is very seldom that ! ' 1 1 Tm) W kjjereswhen barefoot it sboald be the aim ot the horseshoer to have the horse's foot, after the shoe is on it; as it was before it was shod ; so. instead of a heavy shoe, make one as BghtasposIbk--,hoethe same as running horses have. Shoe them close, nd there wffl be no trouble. I have cured animals tba. interfered badly, in this way. . The average price ot a sheep not less than a year old has advanced from 2 75 to $4 56, in Vermont, since last February one year ago. . [From the American Stock Journal.] The Morgan Horse. There has been much discussion as to the origin of the Morgan horse,and yet we have very little knowledge on the subject that is definite. What we do know is, that about the beginning of the.nineteeenth century, a man by the name of Justin Morgan, whose life was somewhat checkered turn ing his mind to farming one season, and perhaps teaching school the next owned a little horse of wonderful nerve, a dark bay, with black. If gs, mane and tail, standing fourteen hands high, and weighing about nine hun dred and fifty poundsT" At this time, Mr. Morgan lived at Randolph, Vt, and his horse had much local celebri ty. " He was a horse of great power for one of his inches, was fleet of foot, and was full of resolution, hie was used chiefly under the saddle, but was broken to harness. ; . It was the custom to tun him short races on the country-roads, and it is said that he was never beaten in these contests. It was also the custom to test his strength by hitching him iu front of heavy loads. Where the horse came from and what was his breeding are questions that are largely left to conjecture. .There are many stories, but we have learned to look upon them in the light of tradition. If we could put faith in common report, we should discover as much romance in the life of the horse owned by Justin Morgan as Eugene Sue has thrown around the life of the Goldolphin Arabian Where there is room for mystery, there is also room for blight fancy sketches, for rosy pictures of romance. The most plausible theory, however. in resrard to the origin of the horse which is known in history by the name of his Vermont owner, Justin Mor gan, is that advanced by Mr John Morgan, a relative of Justin's. He says that the horse was foaled in 1 793, that his sire was True Briton, by the imported horse Traveler, and that his dam was of the Wild Air breed. If this pedigree is correct, Justin Mor gan was a well-bred horse. Of course the pedigree is disputed, but as for that matter, no pedigree could be given to the horse that would not be open to objection. All the facts in his remarkable career point to a chan nel of pure blood, and give the lie to the story that he was a mongrel, was of obscure origin. The life ot the Justin Morrran was a strange one. It was his lot to labor as tew horses have labored participate in the excite ments ot the race, to be petted and abused, to revel at brief periods in the delights of the stud, and, finally, to be neglected in his old age, and to die, caused by a kick in the flank Old and poor as he was. he might survived this injury had he received any care ; but he was exposed to the inclemency of a Northern winter, and inflamation setting in.he lay down and died. It was in the "winter of 1821, and on ; the farm ot Clifford Bean about three miles south of the village of Chelsea, Vt, that the Justin Mor gan breathed his last. Pruning. Whenever pruning has been neg lected up to this time, it should now be performed to save bleeding at the cuts. But "better no pruning than bad pruning.' Different species of plants 'require different modes and times of pruning. Grapevines and ornamental climbing vines make rap id growth during the early season ot growth, and make a greater number of roots than can mature ; hence in spring there are many deal roots to be cut out. When the plants cover the allotted space tor them, the live roots have all to be shortened, so as to make the plants look tidy ; and that also promotes greater quantity ot bios soras, and the blooms are better dis played and are more fragrant ; they fruit more plenteously and the fruits are better ripened and 1m tter flavored. Fruiting trees need the branches thinned out so that the sunshine and air will get into the hearts of the trees. When the trees are too much extend ed, or are growing luxuriously, the ends ot the branches are cut off a few inches or a few feet, according to the spread of the tree. . Stone fruit sel dom need branches thinned out, but they are all benefited by the ends of the branches and twigs being cut off, say from an inch to a foot cut off ; that is called "shortening in prunirig. We have seen a wonderful renovation of old, decaying fruit trees within a few years back,' upon the wealthy estate of Gen. Pleasanton.ncar Philadelphia, by pruning, scraping and washing the stems and part of the branches The trees are now in a most thriity and fruitful Btate, and in the "full prime of manhood," as it is called. ' In pruning shrubbery, all the species whose blossoms are produced on top, as the lilac, should only have the suck ers cut out, and the branches thinned; those whose blooms come out upon the the side of the shoots, are cut on top to shorten and make them more bushy. Journal of the Form. Alsike Clover in Michigan. A correspondent of the Western i&rctfsaysT ' ' "A year ago last ing I hesitat ingly purchased enough ot the seed to ow twenty-five acres, it taking at the rate of four and one-third pounds to the acre, at $ 1 per pound. I sow ed in the month ot April, on ground prepared for and sowed to wheat. I harrowed the ground and - afterward plastered it. Notwithstanding the dry season, I cut from that ground about forty tons of hay in July. I drew in my barn five tons for feeding ; the balance I stacked, and in September threshed it and got eighty- five bushels of seed. Before cutting, I brought in some stalks which measured four feet in length. The field on '-Inch it was sown is high rolling land, soil dark sandy loam I am feeding this winter my entire stock, consisting of horses and cattle, on the hay that was thresh ed.

The following sensible suggestions in regard to fruit-raising is taken from Coleman's World, and should Iw read bv every person owning a rod square of land : "This is a fruit country. Nearly all farmers may raise their own truit Strawberries grow, or will grow, aL most every wheie. They cun be canned and so well preserved the whole year. Apples, pears, peaches, can be raised on most farms. There is no good reason why fruit should not be as corn or wheat. This is a bilious country ; that is the people who live here are specially liable to bilious diseases. There is perhaps no better preventive of bilious diseases than the constant use of fruit as a diet. - It corrects the acids and juices of the stomach and agists di gestion. It keeps the bowels properly active and prevents that sluggishness and torpidity which promote bilious derangements. Fruit to do its best office in the diet, should be eooked and eaten as a part of the regular m al. Thus used how delicinus it w How it adds to the pleasures of a meal to have it enriched with so delicate and agreeable an article of diet ! How chaste and elevating is the tendency of such diet compared with one of solid meat find bread. So it is ; the best diet U really the pleasantest therefore let fruits grow on our farms and adorn and make pleasant all our tables.'' A Superannuated Queen. I will give one case : I had a stock that I supposed had lost their queen, as I could find no eggs or unsealed larva; in the liive ; I introduced a queen in my niuai manner ot nitro- cing, and to my surprise, on the third day thereafter, I found her dead in front of the hive. I then gave the stock a card of eggs and unsealed larvae, expecting them to raise a queen, but they failed to start any cells. I did not pay any attention to them for a number of days, thinking to break up the stock and give the combs to new swarms. On opening the hive to break them up I discovered two or three worker larvae, a few sealed workers, and five or six eggs, not yet hatched, and among the rest a queen cell with the larva, nearly ready to hatch. I then went to searching for queen, and after a long and frnitless search, I found her Majesty, but was several times on the point of giv ing up beat. Now, the mystery was solved. This stock had a superannua ted old queen In those cases the queen becomes very small, not larger than a worker, hence the difficulty in finding her. She had become sujeranmi&led and ceased laying entirely, yet the bees still clung to her as a mother, and did not like to give her up ; but after a long time, by some hocus pocus, in duced her to lay a few eggs and com menced to raise a queen to fill her place. The cases are so numerous where there are two queens in a hive, a young fertile one and an old one, that before introducing a new one I examine closely for two Washington as a Farmer. The farm of General Washington, at Monnt Vernon, contained ten thou sand acres of land in one body equal to about fifteen square miles. It was divided info farms of convenient size, at the distance of two, three and five miles from the Mansion House. He visited these farms every day in picas- ant weather, and was constantly enga ged in making experiments for the im provement of agriculture. Some idea of the extent ot his farming operations may be formed from the following facts: In 1 767 he had five hundred and eighty acres ot land in grass ; sowed six hundred bushels of oats ; seven hundred acres - with wheat end as much more in corn, barley, potatoes, beans, peas, Ac , and one hundred and fifty with turnips. II is stock consisted of one hundred and forty hoises; one hundred and twelve cows ; two hun dred and thirty-six woiking oxen, heifers and steers, and five hundred sheep He constantly employed two hundred and fifty hands, and kept twenty lour ploughs going during the whole year, when the earth and the state of the weather would permit. In 1780 he slaughtered one hundred and and fifty hogs for the use of his own family, and provisions lor his ne grocs, for whose comfort he ha I great regard. Growing Potatoes Under Straw. After planting apiece of ground in the usual way last spring, a friend told me that by covering the ground from six to tight incites deep with straw, it would prevent the ravages of the Colorado potato bug. I accor dingly covered one half the patch with straw. I soon found, however, that I had to fight the bugs on this part of the ground the same as the other, which I did by catching them twice a week. When digging time came I found that those covered with straw yielded full one-third more than the others, and were much larger and of mote uniform size The digging required less than half the labor, as the potatoes ! lay almost entirely above ground. At the time ot covering with straw(wbich was immediately after planting,) I placed some hills between the rows which I did not cover with earth, but they did not amount to anything. I placed a few of each kind on exhibi tion at our annual Fair, with a de scription of the mode of cultivation. J. H. Eaton, in Western Farmer. The Cedar Rapids Observer says : "Joseph Shuey,in the edge of Benton county, Iowa, raised from eighty acres of land, on sod ground, f 73 busheU-ci barley, G86 bushels of wheat,' 200 bushels of oats, 1,800 buhcis'of corn, .0 Dusneig ot potato 70 gallons of SCgto7and 12 tons ot hay, besides "some other little things " The Massachusetts Ploughman sen sibly says of underdrawing : "One im port ant advantage of the undcrdrain is, that it ic at work when the top of the ground is frozen, when, of course, a surface or open drain is inactive , thus making the subsoil so dry and pojons that when the frost comes out of the water it drops through at once and leaves the ground dry." Cbi-kkt, with most families, is an important crop, and should ikj 6own about this time. A very rich, moist spot, that win ue snaaeK irom me mid-day April sun, should be chosen; or a box in a frame by those who have the convenience. Correspondence Cincinnati Post.] Strawberry Culture. There is no fruit that can be to easily raised as strawberries and none that pays so well lor any extra care bestowed upon their cultiva tion. They can be grown with toler able success on all kinds of soils and iu almost any climate. It has not been many years since strawberries were extensively cultiva'ed for market purposes. Hundreds of acres are now cultivated in the vicinity of all our large cities and the truit is readily disposed of at paying prices. Twen'y five hundred tons were shipped to Chicago last year, and were either consumed in the place or forwarded to other towns farther north. Every farmer could be abundantly supplied with strawberries with little expense or labor. The nse of small fruits ot any k'.nd during the summer saason is more economical and health I ul than the stronger food usually found on the farmers' table Fruit h the best medi cine that can be used to improve the digestion, prevent fever and billious attacks. "It never clogs the appetite, it never clogs the stomach, it never constipates the bowels. It strength ens, elevates and enobles the man " Any land that will produce a good crop of corn or wheat will produce a fair crop of strawberries. New land will produce the largest crop with the least amount of labor. Clay lands are the best, as they are least & fleeted by the drouth. Strawberries require considerable moisture during the bearing season to insure a full crop ot fine fruit Poor sands may be made to produce good crops by thoroughly mixing well rotten manures with the Mil before pliuiling. The laud should be ploughed deep and well stirred before planting ; should be as mellow and loose as a garden, free from weeds and grass particularly white clover. The more thorough the preparation of the soil, the less labor will be re quired to cultivate the crop. Furrows should be made three and a halt or four Jcet apart . and six inches deep. The crop could be greatly increased on thin land, by partly filling the fur row with leaf mould " or soil from around decayed stumps or logs. Wood ashes sprinkled along the furrows before planting and mixed with the soil in the bottom of the furrow, is au excellent fertilizer Select young plants of . the last year's growth trim of the ends of the roots and pinch out the fruit buds be fore planting. Set the plants fifteen or twenty inches apart in (he sun, carefully spreading out the roots, cov er with loose, moist dirt,and press the dirt down around the plant, but be careful not to cover the crown of the plant The roots ot the plants should net be exposed to the sun or wind nnder any circumstances. Strawberries should be planted as early in the spring as the ground can be put in good condition.; However, they can be successfully planted any time in April. Fall planting some times docs well, but for field culture the spring is always to be prelerred The Wilson's Albany is now conce. ded by all- fruit-growers to be the most profitable variety to cultivate for market. Barr's New Pine, Mc Avoy's Superior and Triumph DtGand are excellent varieties for family use. some varieties succeed well in some localities and fail in others. The Al. bany has given better satisfaction than any other strawberry. There are a great many worthless varieties advertised in the horticultural papers and many others that may succeed will in certain localities. Liquid Excrement. How strangely we overlook the val ue ot the liquid excrement of our ani mals ! A cow, nnder ordinary feeding furnish, s in a ear 20,000 pounds of solid excrement,and about 8000 pouuds of liquid. The comparative money value of the two is but slightly in favor of the solid. This statement has been verified as truth over and over again The urine cf herbivorous animals holds nearly all the secretions of the body which are capable of producing the rich nitrogenous compounds eo essen Hal as forcing or leaf forming plants. The solid holds the phosphoric acid, the lime and magnesia which go to the seed principally ; but the liquid, hold ing nitrogen, potash and soda, is need ed in forming the stalk and leaves. The two forms of plant nutriment should never be separated or allowed to be wasted by neglect. The larmer who stves all the urine of his animals doubles his manutial resources every year. Good seasoned peat is of im mense service to farmers, when used as an absorbent, and the stalls for animals should be so constructed as to admit ot a wide passage in the rear, with a generous passage-room for peat, to be Boston Journal of Chemistry. Care of Young Fruit Trees. Young fruit trees for the first two or three years after "transplanting, should, before hard winter sets in, be protected against any undue quan tity of water, especially in low situa tions. This can be best done by mak ing a small hillock of dirt around the stems sufficient to throw off the water and not let it settle about the roots We have known young trees to . be killed by constant emersion in water through most of the winter, and have frequently known them to be stunted, from which many of them never n tirely recovered. On theother hand, in summer these trees should have the soil slightly bowled out around them, in order that they may have a more abundant supply of water than they would otherwise obtain. If we expect to be successful in fruit raising we must adopt all the means attainable to Germantown Telegraph. Farmers' Boys. An intelligent and thrifty fanner tells in a few words how he kept his boys at home and made farm lite not only endurable but attractive to the youngsters. The lesson is well worth heeding. He says: "But 'for the co operation of my boys I should have failed. The eldest U nearly twenty one, and other boys in the neighbor hood, younger, have left their parents; mine have stuck to me wheu Iluost needed their services. I attribute this result to the fact that I have tried to make home pleasant for them. I have furnished them with attractive and useful reading; and when night comes, and the day's work is ended, instead ot running with other boys to the rail road station and adjoining towns they gather around the great lamp, and become interested iu their books and papers."

The Patent Arion Pianos ARE USED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE AMERICAN CONSERVATORIES OF MUSIC, HS YORK CITY The most severe test a Piano can receive is constant use in a Conservatory. HEAD THE FOLLOWING. It affords me much pleasure to give yon these few lines as a very sincere testimonial for the Piano Fortes of your manufacture. We have now used the"PaTKjT A Rio Pianos" In our Conservatories for a year, and have had a fairopportunity of testing their durability during that time. The Pianos have been played npon almost constantly, from morning till night, and a piano must Indeed be a good one when it will bear such constant use with out showing sigusof defection. As for remaining In tune.it outrivals any Piano known to me. The peculiar sweetness of tone In the treble (as compared to other Pianos with the or dinary metal agraffe arrangmenl is so striking that I have bad pupils remark, while taking their lessons, that although they had at home what they supposed to be one of the best make of Pianos, still the treble was very wirey-toued compared with the "Arion." What makes them still more desirable Is their uniform volume of tone, which enables an arrest to perform a composition In Untrue character. In total, I canconscientiouslv endorse all that is claimed by the Arion Piano Forte Company for their superb instruments, as I consider them superior to any other make. Congratulating yon upon the great success penect an instrument. i remain yours, very New York, September!!!, i:!7H. OH AI.LE3STGE To all Piano Manufacturers in the United States.
