. J TRUE
FRIENDSHPI.
W BY DAVID It. METCAD'.
I ne'er will forsaka thee.
Though <)arkne?9 anil woe
Shroud with gloom thy pathway
In life's journey below ;
Though frienils may prove false
When fortune iloth frown,
One heart shall prove true
To the soul that's cast down.
How sweet for true friends
In communion to meet.
Where heart beats to heart.
And naught is deceit '
m In weal or in woe
Never 'sunder the tie
That binds hearts together.
Though storm-clouds sweep by.
1 hough adversity be thine,
True hearts will remain
Free from the foul touch
Of falsity's stain ;
In joy or in sorrow.
False hearts, let them floe !
But noble souls will be ever
True to heaven and thee.

WORDS OF WISDOM
Travel makes a wise man better, tut
a fool worse.
To be entp'oved in useless thing? is
to be half idle.
To talk without tlinking, is to shoot
without aiming.
Common sense is nature's gift, but
reason is an art.
Thy hand is never the worse for dn.,
irg thy own work.
Though poverty may bring sorrow
riches bring inquietude.
Though you stroke the nettle ever so
kindly, yet it will sling you.
To uo good to tho ungrateful is to
throw rose-water into tho sea.
The man who arsumcs toknowcvcrytl

The Farmer Feeds Them All.
Every calling, profession, and I
pursuit is supported by tho farmer.
He feeds all nations and peoples.
If he is skillful, educated, and
successful, trade prospers ; the white
sails of commerce and peace iloat
busily over the seas; tho myriad
looms and spindles of our factories,
the forges and anvils of our shops
and founderies put forth their full
strength, and make all the air resound
with their din !
The skilled artisan and mechanic,
with plenty before them, ply 1
their busv hands and exercise their
acute brains to bring out of chaos
things of use and beauty?contrivances
to lighten labor and further
prosperity. So, too, in the sunshine
of the farmer's prosperity, all
pursuits bask and flourish ; and the
nation of great farmers becomes
great.
If the farmers of a nation lack
skill, science, and cducatiou?requisites
for successful culture?the soil
locks up its treasures; then commerce,
the great industries, trades
and nrofessioiis. all languish, and
J..
the nation is in woo and want.
Agrieulturc then may be regarded
as the basis not only of individual
comfort and success, but of natural
greatness. A glance at the status
of nations will at once show that in
proportion to agricultural advancement
and skill, it is classed in the
eye of the world. England, France,
Germany, the United States of
modern times, and Greece and
Rome, the mistresses of the world"
of anc cut times?all of advanced
agriculture?how infinitely above
the lands in which this great industry
languishes ! Speaking of
Rome, we cannot forbear giving an
extract showing the estimation in
which agriculture was held by that
nation in its palmiest days: "Among
the Romans agriculture was held in
the greatest esteem. Cato in the
second and Yaro in the first century
previous to the Christian era;
Virgil, at the time of the birth of
our Saviour ; Palladines, Pliny, and
Columella, have all extolled its
excellences. Several of the noI
blest families of Rome derived
; their patronymies from some vegetables
which they were famous for
raising, such as the Fabil pea,
( Lentuli, Cicerones, ?tc. These were
the days of Roman agricultural
' " .LA _.t
glory. uatoBivs mat wneu mu?
praised a good man tbey called him
an agriculturist and a husbandman,
and it was considered a groat honor
to be thus spoken of. Cincinnati,
1 who flourished 4G0 years before
' Christ, was the plowman of his own
four acres, and when tho Saminito
ambassadors visited Curtius Dentatus,
they found hiai at work with
' his vegetables. Catoea^s: ' Study
to have a large dunghill; and to this
I would add, treat your dumb laborers
as inferior brothers, deprived
of speech." How important, then,
that agriculture should be fostered
and encouraged; that the aged
veterans of the plow should be
honored for their work's sake, ami
tlio young taught to respect and
i O ^ i
take pride in the calling. To its
praise Virgil sang his immortal
Georgics and Cato his highest
philosophy. Should not the veterans
of agricultural literature meet
every encouragement in their good
work from a grateful people ' ?
American Farmer.
Experiments with Fertilizer.
It has been nointed out. that in
ilic scientific composition of manures,
! while all formulas have been base !
on the composition of plants, the
bearing of these on the nature of
soils has been overlooked. In other
words, commerce prepares special
, manures for plants,?forgetting
another and perhaps greater want,
their application to each eoil. In
Belgium, many farmers test manures
on different plants, grown on a
variety of soils; the manures are
, carefully* analyzed. These volun|
tecr experiments have been of great
practical value, by enabling cultivators
to economize in the purchase
of fertilizers. It is unnecessary to
buy all the active elements ol" a
manure, if one or more of these
already exist in the soil. The
j active elements of manures are
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash,
&c.; it is essential in purchasing to
be sure if a fertilizer contains these
; in a soluble, assimilable, or insohr
ble state. Somo soils contain
enough of nitrogen, others a sufficiency
of phosphoric acid or potash.
To suppress the superfluity by not
purchasing a 'pccial manure contain!
ing it, is a net gain. Further, it
would not he wise to conclude, that
! if such an agent he not used this
year, it trill the next. The soluble
stimulants of manures are washed
very rapidly out of the soil by the
winter rains. These remarks are
peculiarly applicable to reclaimed
lands.
Natural Rain vs. Irrigation
It is truly worthy a careful study
by our farmers to watch the different
effect a natural rain hus upon
all vegetation as contrasted with
any plan of irrigation invented by
man ; the very plants seem to knov
the difference, and tnev manifest it
by their looks. Let. anv one examine
a field of grnip, rr a garden of
plants after a goodly rain, and they
v ill fix d tlir rain drops hanging
h^oii ludV. I fade's bfud IfcfaVnJ like
gems, sparkling in the light of day,
but try any plan of irrigation by
artificial means and there are no
such appearances, the plants or
flowers showered by hose seem
beaten down in a measure, and
although benefited, the contrast
between nature and art, is easily
seen?and this is worthy special
notice.? Cal. Farmer.
Bermuda Gra^s.
A Texas correspondent of the
i Southern Farmer says :
If I had a cotton field taken
prisoner by the Bermuda grass
while I was trying to prevent it, 1
would value it more highly than anv
cotton fioid in Texas. A hundred
acres of cotton does not yield but
very little after the expense of tillage
and gathering is paid : hut I do
know that a fieli of Bermuda grass
needs no cultivation and no gathering
that cannot readily be done bv a
o flock
of sheep or herd of cows and
calves. The rain and sunshine
does not cost a cent. It makes the
crass grow, and the cows and calves
do not charge any thing for gathering
it. There is really a clear
O ?
profit from the grass crop, but on
the cotton side of the question
there is not enough left, after payinor
pxnenses. to talk about
""O ""I '
Fruit Stains.?To remove
fruit stains let the spotted part of
the cloth imbbibc a little water
without dipping it, and hohl the part
over two of three lighted brimstone
matches at a proper distance. The
sulphurous gas which is discharged
soon causes the spots to disppcar.
Or all bright colored fruit stains can
be removed by scalding in clear
boiling water.
