No cliss of men have been ridi culed so much, and none have done so much good as those who are de nominated fancy farmers. They have been, in all times and coun tries,- the benefactors of the men who have treated them with deri sion. They have been to farmers whatinventors have been to manu facturers. They have experimented for the good of the world, while others have simply worked for their own gain. They tested theories while others have raised crops for market. They have given a dignity ,and glory to the occupation of farming it never had before. . Fancy farmers have changed the wild boar into the Suffolk and Berk shire; the wild bull of Britain into the Short-horn; the mountain sheep, with its lean body and hair fleece, into the Southdown ard the Merino. They brought up the milk of cows from pints to gallons. They have lengthened the sirloin of the bul lock, deepened the udder of the cow, enlarged the ham of the hog, given, strength to the shoulder of hte ox, rendered finer the wool of - the sheep, added fleetness to the speed of the horse, and made beauti !Yulevery.animal that is kept in the service of man. They have im proved and hastened the develop ment of all domestic animals, till they hardly resemble the cresures from which they. sprung. -Fancy farmers introduced irri - gation and under-draining, grind ing and cooking food for stock. They brought guano from Peru and ixitrate of soda from Chili. They Eintroduced and domesticated all the plants we have of foreign origin. They brought out the theory of ro tation of crops as a natural means of keeping up and increasing the fertility of the soil. They first ground up gypsum and bones, and treated the latter with acid to make m nanures of peculiar value. They first analyzed soils as a means of determining what was wanted to increase their fertility. They in .troduced the most approved meth ods of raising and distributing water. Fancy farmers or fancy horticul turists have given us all our varieties of fruits, vegetables a'nd flowers. -A fanecj farmer in Vermont a few years ago originated the Early Rose potato, which added millions to the wealth of our country, and proved to be a miost important ac * ession in every part of the world * where it was introduced. .Another of these same fancy men originated the Wilson strawberry, and another the Concord grape. It was a fancy farmer that brought the Osage orange from Texas to the Northern States. Among the men in this country who were classed as fancy farmers at an early day, were Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Livingston. The first introduced mules; the * second, the cultivation of improved rice; the third, the use of land plaster, and the fourth, the raising of lucerne. More than any men of .their time did they add to the wealth of the country. After them came another race of fancy far mers, who introduced Arabian horses, Spanish sheep, and the im proved breeds of English cattle and swine. Thesea fancy farmers added immensely to the wealth of the practical farmers of the country. What we want to develop the agriculture and horticulture of the country, to their fullest extent, is -a large number of fancy farmers, mn who work for pleasure rather These are the men who will bring in new grains,- new fruits, new vegetables, and new varieties of animals. These are the men who will dev-.te their time and money to the improvement of old varieties and the creation of new ones. The country is sadly in need of more fancy farmers.-Chicago Times. A NEW FORAGE-PLANT AND FERTILIZER.-A correspondent of the Georgia Commissioner of Agri culture calls his attention to anew foragu-plant, which first appeared on a farm of ofrty acres in Liberty County, Georgia, owned by two freedmen, and was first noticed in 1871. It appeared to be a trouble some weed, springing up very thickly after the crops were laid by. It began to spread and soon covered every foot of uncultivated ground. It has since spread over a large surface, and has reached points several miles distant from its original point of development. But, so far from being a nuisance, as was at first suspected, it has proved a great boon to the worn out lands of the South. It is re lished by farm-animals, both in the green and the cured state. As a fertilizer its application in one case indicated qualities superior to stable-manure. A farmer plow ed under two acres of this plant, and on an adjoining two acres a coating of stable-manure w a s spread. The first two acres pro duced twice as many bushels of corn as the second two. It is known as Mexican clover, and is a leguminous plant. In many lo calities it has driven out all other grasses. It seeds heavily, but is not an early grower ; and hence it never gets in the way of young crops. The first light frost in the fall kills it. (Department of Agriculture. REMEDY FOR SMUT im WHEAT. Our correspondent in Mora, New Mexico, reports that all the wheat in that county is much affected with smut. In many instances growers state that their crop was half smut. For two years he has tried, with excellent results, a preventive recommended by Mr. Pen daries, a native of Montauban, France, now residing in that local ity. It is as follows : "For ten bushels of wheat, put sixteen ounces of blue vitriol in a boiler with ten gallons of water and heat thoroughly. This mix ture is sprinkled, boiling hot, over the wheat, which is then gathered into a heap and loft tQ absorb the mixture for one day.- It is then spread out again and allowed to dry."-Departmnent of Agriculture. SAVE YOUR SOAPsUDs.-Who would throw away a barrelful of soft soap or a box of hard soap? Were it not otherwise useful, it would be of great value as a fer tilizer, if spread, in its raw state, about our fruit trees or berry busbes. But, after being dissolv. ed in water and passing through the wash tub, gleaning the imper ceptible elements of the best man ore from soiled linen, its fertilizing power is vastly increased. Indeed w e may almost say that the ave rage soapsuds fr-om the kitchen and laundry is worth more than the soap wvhich produces it. lDo not, then, allow yotir soapsuds to run away wasted, while you have trees whbich it might benefit. FRIED CHICKEN.-Cut a cold chicken into small joints and put them into a deep dish,covering them with some chopped parsley, onion, salt, pepper and a little salad oil; and squeeze over all the juice of a lemon; let the chicken remain in this three or four hours, turning the pieces every now and then ; then take them out, dredge each piece with flour and fry them. Pile high on a dish, and pour a good gravy sauce, seasoned and flavored with sweet herbs, around it. Ground ivy, easily grown along the garden fence rows,-makes one of the most soothing teas for in fantLs, and is' a sure remedy for hives. Arasted onion made into a poultice and bound round the neck or 'upon the chest usually affords immediate relief from bad colds or sore throat. To render flat-irons smooth, rub them well with salt, and then over a piece of beeswax after heating. padne Al va nl nain Feeding children freely on onionf eMiscellaneous.

M-I S AND JAPN PIES The introduction of these crops through out the South -will enable us to keep our stock and fill our smoke-houses as cheaply as it can be done at the West. The Chuta is planted in ridges like potatoes, yields on common land two hundred bushels to the acre of the richest feed, unequaled for Tat tening hogs, poultry and-children. One acre will fatten more hogs than ten acres of the best corn, besides furnishing grazing all summer. For the truth of these claims we refer to U. S. Commissioner of Agriculture, Washington, or to any agricultural paper in the South. Price. by mail, postage paid, 20c. a package, 40c. a pint, m c. a quart by express, $la peck, $15 a bushel. The Japan Pea fully established its merits several years ago, and is now in universal demand. It grows upright like a cotton stalk, is cultivated like corn, and vields fronm 150 to 200 bushels an acre on ordmnary land. Stock of all kinds relish it and thrive highly on it without other feed. Also excellent for table use (after boiling about a week). PriCE by mail, postage paid, 15c. a package, 30c. a pmnt, 5Oc. a quart. By express, $3 per peck, $10 per bushel. These seeds are so scarce and costly that we cannot make' any dis count to wholesale dealers or grano.ers. When Southern planters grow teir own stock-feed and fatten their own hogs we shall hear no~more of hard times and "mid die men," for this will put an end to both. If you fear to invest largely it will cost but a trifle to try these seed-, and unless your experience differs from all others you will be forever thanktul for the trial. Address, A. F.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for 1865, says that Prof. Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozen different breweries, and found all of it adulterated.
