The care of stock, procuring- 
fuel, cutting timber-logs, and 
getting them to the saw-mill, oc¬ 
cupy the farmer's attention this 
month It is a good month to 
feed out the coarsest and poorest 
fodder—the coldness of i lie wea¬ 
ther giving the stock sharp appe¬ 
tites.

AGRICULTURAL PAPERS. 
If yon wish for oaks, plant acorns; the largest giant 
of the forest came from a little seed weighing not the 
quarter of an ounce. If that seed had been locked up 
in a chest, where had been the huge vegetable monarch? 
A farmer discovered liow he could raise one bushel of 
corn more on an acre, with the same labor—this was to 
him worth something—at least fifty dollars in ten years. 
But like the acorn in the chest, this knowledge remain¬ 
ed a long time locked up within himself. But after a 
while it found its way into an agricultural paper, and 
ten thousand readers saw, and one thousand of them 
were practically benefitted by the information • so that 
instead of a saving of fifty dollars only, fifty thousand 
dollars were saved. The acorn thus became the mon¬ 
arch of the woods. 
Agricultural papers have rendered great service in a 
multitude of ways. Look at the improvements that 
have been introduced within the last twenty years, 
through their influence, in plows-, cultivators, seed-drills, 
harvesting machines, thrashing-machines, horse-rakes, 
straw-cutters; the improved breeds and blood in horses, 
cattle, swine; the improvements in the management of 
farms, as by rotation, seeding, harvesting, manuring, 
draining, subsoiliug; and in the introduction and culti¬ 
vation of fine and profitable fruit. It is true some of 
these improvements have been effected without the di¬ 
rect influence of such publications; hut like the acorn 
in the chest, they would have remained in a great de¬ 
gree unknown, without some faster way to spread the 
facts, than merely neighbor talking with neighbor. So 
great have been these advantages, that an intelligent 
southern gentleman gave it as his opinion, that a single 
paper (the JUbany Cultivator) had been the means of 
increasing the wealth of that part of the country more 
than two millions of dollars. One farmer said it had 
been the means of increasing his corn crop from twenty 
to thirty per cent, and another succeeded in doubling 
his corn crop. Let such benefits he multiplied through 
the country at large, and how enormous would be the 
aggregate profits !
