FAR.M MANAGEMENT, &.c. 



To conduct a farm of considerable extent, so 

 as to be a profitable concern, requires nearly as 

 much management, (ihoii^li, to be sure, of a 

 somewhat more straight forward sort) as to be a 

 leading porni<ian in these wayward times. Neat- 

 ness and order, whether on a farm, in a barn, a 

 dwelling bouse, or in a man's dress and manner, 

 are as indispensable to competence, coir.fort, and 

 happiness, as the Sim is to daylight. Neatness is 

 necessary to health, as well as respectability. — 

 The want of it in cultivation and domestic econo- 

 my, is extravagant as well i.s (lisgraccful. A slov- 

 eidy hiishtmdman or housekeeper is on the high 

 road to ruin. 



.'Vs general rules, connected with the arrange- 

 ment, and the successful management of a farm, 

 the (ollowiiig may be roconuneniled. 



The farmer should rise early, and see that 

 othets do so. In the winter season, breakfast 

 should he taken by candle light ; for by this means 

 an hour i.-> gained, which many farmers lose by 

 indolence ; though six hours in a week are nearly 

 ccpial to the working part of a winter's day. 

 Tliisis a material object, especially where a num- 

 hiTof haiitls are employed. 



The whole farm slioidd be regularly itjspeetcd, 

 and not oidy every field examined, bnt every beast 

 seen, at least once a day, either by the owner, or 

 by some iiilelligent person in his employment. 



I'ri'vionsly to engaging in any kind of work, 

 wlielhur of ordinary praclicc or iiileiided iinprove- 

 niint, the' best consiileration of which the farmer 

 is capable, ought to be given to it, till he is satis- 

 fic:il that it is aitvisahle for him to attempt it. 

 When begun, he ought to proceed In it with iiiueh 

 attention and perseverance, until he has given it 

 a thorough trial. It is a main object, in carrying 

 on improvuMKtnts, not to altenrpt loo much ul 

 once ; anil never to begin a work wilhoiit a proha- 

 hiiiiy of being able to finish it in due time.
