The Farm and Household. 'CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS, i Mixed Husbandry. As a general rule farmers in this country do not practice enough of mixed hus. " bandry. They depend too much on one kind of grain or stock. The farmer that does not, raise anything but corn cannot make farming pay. True, there are years when he makes large profits, but there'ars ¢ ‘ather times when he scarcely gets the cost. ~of production, A farmer, to make money at farming, must practice mixed farming, for three reasons, viz: . First, A farmer that confines hitnself to one crop is doing . hisland great injustice —perpetuslly cropping with one kind of grain ruing a furm, and when once run down it takes yearsto bring it back to its former fertility. = A, tarmer who fﬁlh’rwi a system of mixed husbandry,witha proper rotation of crops, and the right kind of mavagement, will add to the productivencss of his farm ey~ ery year, and grow larger crops without any additional outlay of doliars and cents. Second. His work does not come on all at one time. It is equally distributed throughout the year, and he is not rushed one month with nothing to do the next. ITe bas work for himself and teams ctery day of the month, and every month of the year. He is certain to rais¢ something that will command a fair and paying price, and that can be disposed of at any time that suits liis ednvenience or pleasure. If corn is low, wool mwy be high; if oats are low, wheat may be high, ete,, ete. Such is the case with most of farm products—when one is low and barely pays ~the cost of raising, another will be in demand and can be sold at paying prices. ~ Third. T will give a case of plain and mixed hushandry Suppose a farmer has erghty aerés-of land in cultivation, and is growing it with ¢orn. Ifhe tendsit well and the season suits, it will make fifty bushels to the acre, orin all four thoussad

bughels, which at the market price, thirty flve cents, would be $1,440. Taking the taxes, interest on money invested in land, " and amount expended in raising and gathering, and it will npt pay expenses, - But let us look at the other side of the ques - tion. Inthis case he is raising wheat, corn oats, potatoes, timothy, beetsy and a small orchard. I will give the average number ol bushels of wheat, corn, beets, * potatoes and oats, and the number of tong of hay, as generally gréwn'on well cultivated farmg. |As to the orchard, T think « that it will make two hundred do!lars to the ncre. As to the price of the produce, I bave placed it at the present market value : : ' - = Sl o £ o 28l £% 88 |/ £3 g 8 5 : ol ge ga |Bl g = s>l ok A o= =@ S SEE e e RS B sig (g 8 |3 |25 Wheat..| 20 15 300 | 8135 (% 40500 c0m....l 20 ‘ 50 I 1000 | 35 ! 350 60 Oats....[ '8 30 240 | 25 60 00 Beets...| 2. 500 | 1000 ’ 30 | 30000 Potatoes| .5 | 300 | 1500 50 | 75000 Orchard.| 5 1000 00 No. tn’s|Tot. tns pricet’n: Timothy| 20 3 60 218 00 | 1080 a 0 S Totalamophiii il .ii 0. . 884800 Deduct:amount made on plain husbandry, g Lvied g 1 {olad L) o L R T T Amount of mjked over unmixed farming. .MOO In lpoking over the above you see that . the mixed . husbandry has a- surplus of i 52505 over the plain or unmixed, Tak.--ing the $505 as the cost of raising and gatheripg the wheat, oats, timothy, ete, we have on our side left-a surplus of §2. 000, - where on the other side we had nothing.” In writing the above I have used no hifalatin words or elang phrases. - I Wrote it 1n the old back woods style; but, - nevertheless, I'think I have given truths If this simple article should Anduoce any of my tellow farmers to grow more of different kinds of crops, and not confine themzelves to one kind, my end has been - attaived.— “Hoosier,” in the Novth Western Fiarmer, S

Let Farmers Think. It is told of Martin Luther that he once said he would not so much as ook at a teacher who could ot sing. So I would not g 0 much as look at a teacher with any idea of giving him employment, who can not. reason, and who has not a clear and practical appreciation of right and wrong. Andithe autocrat must come and be crown ed, too. The command must go forth, The pational reason and the national con. scienge must be educated—must become the great and controlling motives of action, or this grand Government of liberty will go under—the people’s property plundered by thieves and the people’s will swayed by fanaticism. The autocrat sho'd not indeed_be a mdn, nor that crown the symbol, of tyranny; but an enlighténed public opinion crowned by being placed in the ascendant demanding —command ing“the needed reform. “Why talk T thus to farmers?” When you see a cloud in the sky growing less and less, you know that the sun is dis. persing, and the atmosphere is drinking up its vapors, and there can be no storm But when the cloud enlarges, growing’ wider and deeper and denser, you know that the storm god is there. The hurricane mav come and the thunderbolt may strike. Look you to Louisiang, to Alabama, to Arkansas, to New York, to Congress, at home, and tell me, does the cloud grow larger i - But why this to farmers ? Ay, why not ~ to farmers? When tyranny strikes, it 1s ever those that toil who first feel the blow. When liberty rallies it is ever those that toil who first break their thralls and strike back their tyrants. And what of worth are your cultured fields, your'graz ing herds, your harvests, and the fruits of your orchards, if liberty is not 9 That boy and girl, look on them, Ay, you do - look on them with pride and joy, perhaps with vanity. Of every faculty, of every power ot mind that has ever given its torce to make .the greatest great, they possess. Sball they dwarf and be only pigmies,when they ought to be and might -be full grown men and women ? - : Wake up their reason and it will never afterward stumber. Teuch them once to ack the cause of things—to interrogate nature, asking her the why, and her philosopby will become their foad on whicly they will grow into"the normal stutures of men and women. _ ; Isthere not philosophy in tarming? T[s there not a reason for its process? If there is, why not have the teacher of the schools understand it and teach it to those whose live of business will be farming ¢ “No, po,” says the teacher. “Bducation must mean developwent, discipline, the production of the symmetrical character.” Indeed, and it must. : s

But what is development ? Growth, I take it to he, and nothing more—nothing léss. In the bealthy body mind must grow on mental food. And you shall find sueh deep questions of ‘philosophy, mechanics, chemistry, and even of mathemat. ieg—ay, and ‘ethics and esthetics, too, connected with agricalture, as these men who talk about development will, nine cases in ten, be unable to solve, The old Aristotelian notion that philos ophy is degraded when made practical, has not lost its power; and teachers some . times instruct the pupils as if the grown up man and woman have no duties, and trath no practical application, - On the movntain top the started. snow from the step of the mountaineer may make the avalanche; the drops from the meliing glacier may begin the Rhine, the Rhoue, or the Missouri. A greater than these—a full grown man or woman—may result when the drops of instruction so fall that w: ‘;m on gaining aceretions from this side and that unti] they become 8 zlx}‘i.%htyfﬁmef'p&:er. Eaan set s wake up the reason. Teach the child to ask why, of the phenomens about him. Wk :émmhplmok«bsin‘ nost soils ing their fertility and enlarges the harvest? What is the

reason that ditching and under-draining are a protection at once against drench and drouth ? ‘What soils are injured by - deep culture, and what is the reason ?— ' What are the best methods of cultivating the different farm products, and what are the reasons therefor? Can the teacher answer these and the thousand and one other questions which underlie successful agricalture?” Would not the study of ‘these produce mental discipline, the best kind of mental diseipline? Would notit be that kind ot knowledge that would suggest other ‘koowledge—a single fact suggesting another and another, and like the drops from the glacier, swell into a great river-of knowledge? ; Yes, wake up toreason. Let the people who toil learn the why of their perform - ances. Agriculture can never stand fore -most - among human callings until science is applied_to its processes. Agriculturists can:never stand foremost among men un-~ til, by interrogating nature, they have developed their own reason.— Hon. Isaac Kinley, in North-Western Farmer,

- Plants in-General.- : These like the people require tonicd as ‘the spring opens. We feel exhaunsted with the confinement of the winter, and our system demands some strengthening tonic; so do our window pets, which miss the life giving dews and showers of sumnier, and we must employ some substitate. They should be washed ot well eprinkled once a week. This can be done at the kitchen sink with a watering pot, or the “plants can be immersed in a tub of water, meanwhile tuking care to keep the ball ot earth firmly in'its place. Have the water a little warm to the hand. Liquid horse wanure is a good stimulant though not pleasant to npply. Those who keep capa ry birdsiave a desirable material at hand for forcing plants, and one much safer than guano. - The papers from the floors of the cages can be saved, .and the scrap: ings therefrom used, in the proportion of “a large teaspoonful to a .quart of water, This inay be used twice a week, and is not so disagreealle as the first named - tonic. The temperature of your room should not vary greatly, thogh the right degree of courge varies with the weather. On sunny days it may rise tu sixty cight or scventy, on cloudy days a lower temperature, say sixty or sixty'five will be abous right.— The night temperature should be from fifty to fifty-five. o . Plants well repay one-for the care sand attention bestowed upon. them, and if worth baving at all, it is best to take proper care of them. It is painful to sce # lot of sickly, serawny lnoking, bug infested plants. I pity the poor things, and feel that their owners, as far at least as floriculture 1s corcerned, “aim at nothing and hit it.”—Mrs. M. J. @G, in the: NorthWestern Farmer. . :

Toe TiME for planting shade trees has again come round. Last séason. several hundred were set out in Rensselaer and pearly all of them are ulive. But few years will clapse before their beauty wild be remurked Ly every visitor, and their grateful shade appreciated by all who welk our sidewalks. Farmers in this prairic gpuntry would find that shade trecs along thcuéclds bordering highways and labes add muterially to the adornment of their property and enhance its value far above the cost of lubor to plant them out, It is said that in some parts of*Europe lung avenues of trees bordering thé highways form a remarkably beautifulfedtere of the landscape, while: their shade in summer and protection as wind breakers in winter are very agreeable to travelers, No landscape on earth would be more improved by judicious tree planting than these vast, monotonous prairies of the West. Let every manin town or country, who bas not already done 80, plant outa few shade trees this spring along the road ia front of his bouse.— Rensselaer Union. B e o ‘The Lava-Bed.

Prof. Haydeffythe United States Geologist who exploréd the lava bed, has luid before the President maps and photographs of that region, and the Professor, together with his Assistant Superintend ent, James Stephenson, will have an.interview with Mr. Delano, and will give their personal recoilections ot the charac teristics of the lava-bed. It extends irregularly all the way from about the Three Tillers west to the Pacific Ocean, about 600 miles. They are covered with sagebrush and small vegetation, and abound in small game, being péculiar tor the mal titude of rabbits and large lizards that take refuge in holes and crevices of the rocks. The rock is of a basaltic forma-. tion that appears t 0 have been cast upon the bed of ‘some l.alke,‘aud 18 cracked in all directions, until it forms & net work of fissures, varying in depth form ten to sixty feet. "Large numbers *of tributaries of the Colum:bia River flov through this region, and the water wushes out the sof formation beneath the rock, and great caverns are found extending for many miles around the opening at various places; into the fissures in the rock. lln oue instance a river has been traced some gsixty miles beneath these lava beds, without ever appearing within sight of the surface. - The sides of the fissures in the rock are generally rough and irregular, 8o as'to afford & good foothold in ascending and-descending from the cracks and caverns, s - Water is abundant, and it appears to be folly to talk of starving out the Modocs. When the snow melts in the mountains tlhiey have more fear from being drecwned out by the streams than any other cause.. .

This dishonest and disgracefnl steal of Coongressmen in the increase of salarics, and especially in making it apply to the last session, is condemned by the people generally, as is the act of Grant in signing the bill by which it was made a law, Below we give the officers affected by the law, with the old and present salaries: : '- OLD.

[he salaries of Congressmen have been increaged three times within the past twenty years, and every time when the party opposed to the demiocracy were in the mujority. In 1854, when the Know Nothings bad the majority in Congress, it ‘was increased from $8 per day to §3,. 000 per year. In 1864, when the Republicans controlled Congress, to $7,5600 ‘per year.—Hzchange. y el

. A Story With a Moran, A story is told of a French gentleman, who, having lost the Bulkiof his property through the rascalities of friends in whom he trusted, crowned it all by the loss of his mertal balance, and for the remainder of his days found his only delight in omnibuses and passing fares from ‘passengers to the driver, taking care when change was returned to'add to it & sou or two from his.own pocket, and watch the effect on the receiver. In nine cises ‘gut of ten, as the story goes, the passenger, counting over his change, and finding, ag he sup})osed._ that the driver had cheated ‘nimsell, would look bewildered for & mo‘ment, and then pocket the change with a ?uiet chuckle. ~The special delight of the unatic was satisfying himself in this way. that ninetenthe of his fellq%ﬁiﬁh‘.;ﬂf{a: d;ﬂwnevt, if they only had the_ opportu.nity, . i :

It is independent, fearless and free in politics, and will ex. pose corription and fraud under whatever party 'name(iﬁt. u;ay be found, believing that the true mission of the press is the promotion of the liest interests of the masses of the people, to whom alone every honest journal loekt for countenance and support. We shall labor, therefore, to serve the general welfare, in defiauce of the opposition of cliques and rings of all parties. ! Opposed, as we are, to a reign 'of oppression, tyranny, corruption, crime, venality, fraud and theft, we bave cast oar lot with the Democratic LibPr’ulwor,&:anizz}tion‘, and shall Support its nominees-- County, State and Nntioﬁgl; believing ¢hat, in no other way, can the purity of the ballot box be maintained, public and private confidence restored, the weight<of taxation removed, and peace and quiet restored between all sections. As we think, the people have now undertaken to control their own affuirs, ‘and we propose to aid them ip the discharge of that Jaudable undertaking, looking forward.to that era of fraternal feeling which must necessarily result from every combination in which the masses proposg to untrammel themselves from party domination and usurpation. :

LOCAIL AFFAIRS We make no high sounding brags about an immense circulation that we do ot possess, snor do we propose to entice people to our support by means of ‘‘ premiums?”’ or any other k}ypobrltical inducements. We want the Ban— NER to passifor what it is worth, on a fuir and square business basis, and we expect to charge for it a regulat newspaper rate. As a faithfal chronicler of local matters the Banxer will occupy, as it always has done, a front seat.— Its recitals will be fair, honest and just.”? Our columns are open and free to everybody for the disputation of all subjects of interest to the people generally. While we shall give special prominence to local matters, due attection will be paid to news, literature, agriculture, education, science, humor, fancy, etc. Having stated our position, weleave the public to judge of the merits of ourself and our pajper.

JOBPRINTING. We make a specjalit_v of job, printing in all its departments, both g e PLAIN AND FANCY. ‘W-‘g‘ have a good as;;rtnlent of | Job Type, - Borders, o Ornaments, ; - Fast Presses, ; - Rules, Etc. Etc. e —AND THE- Jik Best Printers in the State !
