THKIFTY farmers are of two sorts one works to make his farm twice as valuable—the other works to lay up twice as much monc3r this year as he did last.

TIIK most important class in community is food-producers, the next in power are those who deal in comforts, the least valuable are those who live by the luxuries.

AN English farmer by picking over his seed wheat with the utmost care and planting a grain in a place, at intervals of afoot each way, produced 1G2 bushels to the acre.

ONE of the chief reasons why many people fail in their efforts to raise large and superior vegetables is undoubtedly the almost worthless seed. It is quite as impracticable from aj large proportion of such seed as is! sold in market, as to attempet to rear valuable domestic animals of beautiful form and symmetry by employing the most inferior and" worthless stock that could be found
