The Growing or Crop*. 
All the lahorioua preparation of the soli by 
means ot draining, plowing, harrowing and ma¬ 
nuring Is hut the first part of the farmer’s work. 
These are all mechanical work; that is. they are 
done by the band, or by toolB, or machines; yet 
each one depends upon some settled principle, and 
must be done lu the right, manner and consistent, 
with each principle upon which It is based, or It 
will fall and all the labor be lost. Knowledge of 
what should be done, and skill and practice to do 
It, are needed, but nothing more when the work is 
done, all 1 b done that can be done, and mere is no 
uncertain element which can enter Into prevent 
the certain effect of the work. 
But when the farmer bows his seed he is met at 
once by the greatest uncertainties. The weather 
then becomes the farmer's mister, and under Its 
Influence a man Is helpless. FroBt may blast the 
tender corn, lust appearlug with Its green shoot 
above the soil; drouth may parch the earth and 
destroy the growing plant; sweeping rains may 
heat the crops to the ground; fierce winds may 
lay low the coin or the wheat; the fog may brood 
over the Held until the hot sun overcomes It and 
chases It away, and then, scorching the wheat, 
may cause It to rust aud wither aud destroy all the 
farmer’s hope tor a return for his long-continued 
labors. From tbe time that the seed Is sown until 
the harvest Is sate in the barn, there Is nothing but 
uncertainty as t.o the result. 
In addition to the risks from the weather there are 
dangers from insect enemies, and from Injuries by 
rust and smut, and other diseases caused oy the 
growth upon the crops of minute plants known as 
fungi, which reed and grow upon the sap and 
so deprive the crops of their proper nutriment. 
The farmer has need to know of all these things 
that he may do wbat he can to avert these dan¬ 
gers and lessen these risks; for when one knows 
of a danger that, may occur, he may take all those 
means to avoid It wUlch are possible for him. 
No man can control the weather. This he must 
take as It oome6. But the farmer may prepare 
hlmBelt In many ways for these accidents, so that 
he may sutler bur little trout them. 
One great safeguard against these risks, Is 
to have one’s work done In good season, for 
It Is well known that the late sown crops 
suffer the must from had Beason. Another 
Is to prepare the sou In the best manner; 
for a crop upon soil that Is poor, or has been 
poorly prepared, ts often too weak to recover from 
an irJury that would not damage a crop upon 
good soil, and that Is strong and vigorous. Dry 
weather Is always most hurtful to weak crops, 
and rarely Injures stout and deep rooted plants

upon well plowed soli. So too the heavy rains 
that flood the fields and choke the roots of the 
plants which, cannot thrive In water—where the 
soli Is not drained, rarely do any Injury where the 
land is drained, because the water passes off 
very quickly through the dralDS. Again, crops 
thatare strong and are growiug rapidly ranly 
suffer much from Insects or from diseases; It is 
with these as with animals, ana even with per¬ 
sons, the strong do not suffer from disease, it is 
the weak thatare always alilugand that cannot 
resist those accidents which the strong and 
healthy either escape altogether or b y which they 
are hut little troubled. 
In all this there are Been the results of what 
may bo called a natural law ; by which Is meant 
something which always produces certain results, 
as for instance, that wrong doing la always pun¬ 
ished In some way or at some time; that water 
quenches lire or that fire hums. These results 
being absolutely certain, we term such cause and 
effect a natural law. And the natural law which 
Is here involved ts this, that work well-done al¬ 
ways produces belter results than work ill-done. 
To do work hadlv, in wrong season or lu a poor 
manner, ts wrong doing; It Is not dealing Justly 
to those we work for; It may be ourselves for 
whom we work, or It may be for another person; 
the act is precisely the same in effect; and b* lug 
unjustls wrong aud punishment always follows. 
It does not. matter that lc was not intended or 
that it was done through ignorance; the Intent or 
want ot knowledge ts never regared so far as a law 
of nature ib concerned and the farmer who breaks 
the law here referred to, always suffere, although 
he might not know or expect what would be the 
result. We And this out as we grow older, and 
this knowledge Is experience; and ••Experience,” 
we are told “keeps a dear school;” because 
those who learn only by experience always learn 
by suffering. 
Dear Uncle Mark and cousins Not seeing 
any letters from this part of the country, I will 
ask to be admitted to your Interesting Club. I am 
13 years old, and live on a farm with my uncle, o. 
W.Henry. lie has taken the Rural for some tune, 
and we like it very much. My uncle has a farm of 
3U5X acres. He raises cotton, corn and oats. He 
has five head of horses and mules, two Indian 
ponies, which we ride, and 40 milch cows. I have 
learned to he a real good dairy maid. I was 
brought up In New Orleans, La , and San Antonio, 
Texas, and last year w«a ray first year on a farm. 
I would not exchange our poDles and our beautiful 
farm for all the cities In the South. I was always 
a pale, delicate girl, but now I weigh ino pounds. 
I had a small garden last year, but did not raise 
seed because it was not genuine. I hope you will 
he bo kind as to send me some.
