Rev. Waed Bbeoker’s Model Farit. —Our American cousins have a crooked way of viewing and of thinking over things some times, but there is often a deal of profound philosophy in. the conclusions at which they arrive by these means. The following sketch of a modern agricultural teacher and amateur farmer might be applied to more than one schemer in agricultural matters in this country, and particularly to the irrepres sible adventurer of Tiptree Hall. Mark Twain wrote some time since to the Buffalo- Express- as follows;: —"Mr Beecher’s farm consists of thirty-six acres, and is carried on on strict scientific principles. He never pats ip any part of a crop without consulting bis book. He ploughs, and reaps, and digs, and sows .according to the best authorities.—and the authorities cost more than the other farming implements do. As soon as the library is complete, the farm will begin to be a profitable investment. But book farming has its drawbacks. Upon one occasion when it seemed morally certain that the hay ought to be cut, the hay book could not be found, and before it was- found it was too late, and the hay was all spoiled. Mr Beecher raises some of the finest crops of wheat in the country, but the unfavourable difference between the cost of producing it and its market value after it is produced has interfered considerably with its success as a commercial enterprise. His special weakness is hogs, however. He considers hogs the best game a farm- produces. He buys the original pig for a dollar and a half and feeds him with forty dollars’ worth of corn, and then sells him for about nine dollars. This is the only crop he ever makes any mousy on. He loses on the corn, but he makes seven dollars and a-half on the hog. He does not mind this, because be never expects to make any thing on corn, any way. And any way it turns out, he has the excitement of raising the hog any how, whether he gets the worth of him or not. His strawberries would be a comfortable success if the robins would eat turnips, but they won’t, and hence the diffi culty. One of Mr Beecher’s most harrassing 'difficulties in his farming operations comes of the close resemblance of different sorts of seeds and plants to each other.
