ing its magnitude, the competition in culture, 
the wonderful range of the cost of produc¬ 
tion of the various crops in different locali¬ 
ties which mu6t, to an extent, compete with 
each other in the same markets, it seems to 
us that the amount of concentrated thought 
and criticai search for exact knowledge re¬ 
lating to production is disproportionately 
small. 
Is the anti-cattie-in-the-road law* favorable 
to tidy farming or not? Judging by the 
condition of road fences we see, it is not. 
Either road fences ought to be removed al¬ 
together or kept up with some regard to 
utility and decency. " That man takes the 
Rural," said a friend, ns we passed a farm 
whose fences would have been regarded ten 
yenr.i ago as emphatic Diplomas of Dissipa¬ 
tion, and whose barns, manure heaps ex¬ 
posed to the sun under the barn eaves, and 
the pool of tilth before the stable-door 
through which his cows arc compelled to 
pass four times a day, would have insured to 
him the sure appellation of sluggard from 
every passer-by! But we happen to know 
that the farmer is not dissipated, nor a slug¬ 
gard, and is intelligent enough to take, read 
and appreciate the Rural, 1 What (a the 
matter with him ? 
PROCRESS AND IMPROVEMENT 
cheap books, plants, etc.,—a mode of catching 
gulls and fools which should be beneath the dig¬ 
nity of an honorable and independent Journal¬ 
ist, and savoring too much of gift enterprise 
swindles to become popular with those who un¬ 
derstand arithmetic. True, you might do tills 
were you to oslc $4 or $5 a year for the Rural, 
but you are wise In putting your price low, (It Is 
too low, I think.) rather than high and attempt¬ 
ing to buy a circulation by giving some high- 
priced, but cheap or trashy, article as a bait, to 
catch gudgeons. Believe me, you are right in 
placing your paper upon Its merits for sup¬ 
port, for they' ought to be sufficient ; the only 
trouble is, as I wrote you lost winter, you are too 
modest about the said merits, and don’t ‘blow’ 
half enough about what the Rural possesses.”

“No corn here!” Such is the cry, We 
have passed through acres of it fully tas- 
selled and silked, standing not more than 
two and a half to three feet high on an 
average, and much of it only eighteen inches. 
The best corn ive have seen is in the vicinity 
of Adams* Jefferson county. 
“ Surprise Oats have laid down this year.” 
So have most other kinds. We hear of the 
Norway, and of tw o kinds of Norway — the 
Black and White. But we gather nothing 
as to results, because thrashing has not been 
done. One thing needs to he remembered — 
ns a farmer suggested — that where oats arc- 
sown the seed of which is large, more bushels 
must be sown per acre, unless the stooling 
habit of the plant renders it unnecessary. 
In the case of the Norway, as we have seen 
it, less seed is required than of the Surprise, 
in order to secure growth enough to stand 
well. But we believe the grain of the Sur¬ 
prise superior for all purposes. Further ob¬ 
servation and experience are needed, how- 
evei. 
Adams, N. Y. 
This is a delightful town in a flue farming 
country. 'If^has its Mineral Springs, its 
Hungcrford Collegiate Institute, — a new 
building, nearly finished, costing $60,000— 
churches, good hotels, manufactories, shops, 
is close to good trout fishing, and within 
easy ride of Lake Ontario at a half dozen 
interesting points. 
We intended to be Btrictly impersonal in 
these notes, but we cannot, forbear mention¬ 
ing a visit to the beautiful valley farm, herd 
of A 3 Tshircs, and stables of thoroughbred 
horses belonging to Gen. S. D. IIdngerfojid, 
one of the Vice-Presidents of the State Agri¬ 
cultural Society. Gen. Hdngerford's Ayr¬ 
shire herd (of thirty animals) is one of, if not 
the, oldest in the State, embraces noted prize- 
takers at our fairs, and will tie seen at the 
coming State Fair at Elmira. Ilis stables 
include the stallion' Continental, excellent 
matched teams, and some recently purchased 
thoroughbred stock from Alexander of 
Kentucky. We shall have occasion to make 
more specific mention of these animals here¬ 
after. Farmingfor health, at first,has resulted 
in Gen. II. pursuing it for pleasure and profit. 
Judging by appearances, both are found. 
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1860 
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. 
At tub Homestead. 
Oct of the city, up the Hudson by day¬ 
light., tlirough the Mohawk Valley and Cen¬ 
tra! New York, to the shores of Lake Ontario, 
and we throw off rare, draw a long breath, 
roll in the grass under the. shade of the 
Chestnuts which crown the old Homestead. 
This is enjoyment. It quickens the blood, 
and awakens remembrances of early battles 
with material forces with which we once 
had to wrestle to get a living off a farm. 
We arc again brought face to face with 
those forces—toned down by time, and 
tamed by the march of mechanical progress, 
it is true, but scarcely leas stubborn, resistful, 
requiring no less effort and vigilance to sub¬ 
due and render subservient to the modern 
needs of the farmer's family. 
The old friends we meet bear the marks of 
the wear and tear of this wrestle for life. 
Wc enjoy their faces, the grasp of their 
hands, their cordial, welcoming words, their 
“God speed” as we part, and wonder 
whether the fives they live are as sweet, 
despite tho toil, as God planned our lives 
should be. Why did Ho not give us such 
instinct as He gave tho honey-bee, that we 
might know just where to look for the purest 
and sweetest sweet in life, as we wander up 
and down in search of success and happi¬ 
ness ? Such barren lives as some seem to 
lead! — longing to die when they can no 
longer work with their hands for the accu¬ 
mulation of monej'’ and houses and lands. 
But. such lives add riches to the lives of 
others, as the work of tliewiclder ol the pick 
on a railroad grade adds to the Progress and 
Improvement of the People. All cannot be 
singing birds nor butterflies; nor are the 
lives of those who are, the richest, and best. 
But we wish the possibilities of country life 
wore more fully realized than they are ; and 
we never more earnestly pray for such result, 
than when we grasp the hard, warm hands 
of men whose sole struggle in life has been a 
manual one, and whose deserts, measured by 
their Integrity and goodness, are far beyond 
the results they hare reached. 
The Bnapbcrry Question, It will bo seen, is 
Browing liwly. There is nothing like discussion 
to elicit truth, if it is properly conducted. Let 
the sole object be to arrive at truth. Let errors 
be corrected, if they can be, no matter who may 
make them. It is u matter of great im¬ 
portance to individuals and the public gen¬ 
erally thut the foundation for doubts and tho 
causes of criminations and recriminations, in 
which public Interests and tho prosperity of 
horticulture are Involved, should be laid bare. 
If ihe Mammoth Cluster is not the Mammoth 
Cluster, but the Miami, let it be known; if vice 
reran, let truth reign. Wo shall throw up our 
hat, rejoicing, when we have discovered It.

The Treadwell YVhent has yielded bettor than 
the variety usually sown here, (Hollund, Mich,) 
and the farmers are iu quest of a variety that 
ripens ahead of tho weevil and the rust. Millions 
are annually lost to tho farmers of America by 
Injudicious selections of the seeds. The Ited 
Mediterranean is probably the safest variety, 
and most profitable, in the long ruu, of any kind 
of wheat.-FAHMr.it. 
Hemlocks for the Digging.—C. C. Coot.EY — We 
do not know where you can get hemlock plants 
for tin: digging unless you have them on your 
own place; but we do know hundreds of farm- 
era who hare them on their wood lots, nnd who 
have not an evergreen on their grounds—not 
even a screen in front of their out-buildlngs. 
RURAL NOTES AND QUERIES, 
The Rural Improving, Ac.—We have of late 
an abundauce of testimony, In letters from In¬ 
telligent correspondents and notjees of ex¬ 
changes, that the Rural is increasing in favor 
and popularity all over the land, yet, as our 
readers know, we rarely publish even extracts 
from such appreciative recognitions. But here 
is a letter from an old and successful Journalist, 
now residing in the country, (where he takes and 
reads a host of papers, as substitutes for his 
former “ exchanges,") from which we give a few 
pointed and significant sentences. Ho writes: 
“Allow me to congratulate you and its million 
(I hope) of readers upon the continued and 
marked improvement of tho Rural. I have 
beeu a careful reader of it l'or many years, and 
must say it is much better for the past few 
months than ever before. When you launebod 
your craft In New York, last January, and put 
on double sheets. I feared you had made a mis¬ 
take, but must now confess my error, for you 
have most nobly passed the Rubicon and all con¬ 
temporaries. You have overcome obstaoles 
which (to continue tho simile) would have 
wrecked many a staunch craft, and your sailing 
has been much better, with a superior cargo, 
since April. And you arc entitled to credit, for 
preserving your manhood, independence and 
consistency. In neither desecrating your columns 
with humbug advertisements, nor giving fancy 
pictures or cartoons on front page, or otherwise 
lowering your standard. While so many of your 
contemporaries imitate you in sundry matters, I 
am glad you have the good sense to avoid setting 
them a bad 'copy' by encouraging .swindlersor 
placing nonsense in the front instead of rear. 
And you are entitled to the thanks of all sensi¬ 
ble and discriminating people— and such are as 
plenty in the country as elsewhere—for another 
thing. You have not been so foolish as to hire 
or bribe any to take your paper by offering a 
gratuity to each subscriber—either pictures or 
Plan of Ice House Wanted.— Will you, or some 
Of your correspondents, give me a plan l’or 
building an Ice house to be built entirely above 
ground?—V. H. H„ Monroe Co., Ark. 
Early Rose.—A Subscriber, Rundolpb, Muss.— 
Y our potatoes are doubtless as well off in the 
ground as they would be out of Jt. until the fall 
rains come, unless you wish to market them now. 
We have been over some farms with which 
wc have, long been familiar. We have sought 
for evidences of improved culture—for some¬ 
thing new, evincing growth and originality 
on the part, of men who are regarded intelli¬ 
gent and observant cultivators. We should 
be compelled to the conclusion, so far as our 
discoveries here go, that “ there is nothing 
new under the sun.” Circumstances have 
compelled the purchase and use of machin¬ 
ery, and the clearing of surfaces in order that 
it might lie operated, but, so far as the pre¬ 
paration and cultivation of soil is concerned, 
there is no noteworthy advance that we can 
perceive. And we ask, Do not farmers think 
too little and do too much work, from habit 
rather than because they have an intelligent 
reason for doing it? We do not assert, it; 
nor do we intend to reflect upon the general 
intelligence of agriculturists, as compared 
with any other class of men, for we believe 
they will compare favorably; but we do 
mean to say that it is our conviction, and 
one which we would gladly have removed, 
that agriculture, as a business, is not so criti¬ 
cally and systematically studied by men en¬ 
gaged in k as are other trades and profes¬ 
sions by those who pursue them. Consider-

Ontario Bee Keeper*' Convention.— A Bee 
Keepers’ Convention will be held at the city of 
London, Ontario, at tho time of tho coming 
Proilnclal Pair, September 21, 23 and 23. It Is 
expected there Mill be a large attendance of the 
bee keepers of Ontario and Quebec, and those 
interested in bee culture. A warm invitation is 
extended to the bee keepers in the United States 
to meet in convention with us.—J. H. Thomas,

PRETTY WOMEN 
A COMPARATIVELY fow Ladtos monopolize the 
Beauty as well as the attoutloD of Society. This 
ought not to be so.but It is; and will be while men 
are foolish, and single out pretty faces for com¬ 
panions. 
This cau all bo changed by using Hagan’s Magnolia 
Balm, which gives the Bloom of Youth and a Re¬ 
fined sparkling Beauty to the Complexion, pleasing, 
powerful and natural. 
No Lady need complain Of a red, tanned, freckled or 
rustic Complexion who will invest 75 cents in Hagan's 
Magnolia Balm. Its effects are truly wonderful.
