gailti Democrat MVKHSIKIKU FAKHIMi. There lias been some controversy In re gard to the comparative merits of special fanning and diversified farming, with a general opinion that special farming was the most profitable. Undoubtedly It is so In many cases, where the farmer has a special liking for some one branch of his business, and an adaptation to It, ami Is In a locality or upor. a soil peculiarly fitted for It. He gives his whole attention and en ergy to it, and liking It well enough to strive to do the best thing In the best manner, he could scarcely help achieving success, Yet eveiy successful one has had a host o imitators, who have failed to attain any thing beyond mediocrity, and financially have not obtained good results. They either are not adapted to speciai fanning, or have not found the right specialty yet, and a specialty in farming as in anj thii.g else requires patience, pcrserverance and courage to slick to it despite discouraging falures, and to wait until by many errors the right methods have been found. Again, there must be behind all this a capital to carry him through the unfavorable seasons, and the losses which seem to come at some time in any kind of business. Probably a large share of the fanners are succeeding better under the old system of diversified farming, with dairying, or charding and a variety of field crops, by which if one branch shall not produce a profit in any year, some other will have an exceptionally good season, that will Insure a moderate profit upon the w hole. Upon many farms there might be a much greater diversity of interests than there now is, with a reasonable chince for better .financial results. The numerous manufacturing villages of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the summer hotels and boarding-houses create a demand for many farm and garden products wh:h might be, but are not, 'supplied by the fanners in their cn vicinity, and make necessary an appeal to the markets of the larger cities, which in their turn are supplied by farms and gardens in localities where land is more costly and labor more expensive than it would be within a few miles of the place where the same was to be consumed. . vV'hy should the express teams and trains out of Boston be leaded daily with fruit an! vegetables, meat and poultry and eggs, for the countiy towns of Ne.v Hamp shire or of central Massachusetts, or the resort-, along the seashpre, where land Is idle and laborers seeking for work in all these sections It certainly should not be so, but it certainly is so, as an cxamina lon will show. Can the farmers there grow no other crops than corn and pota toes, and no fruit but apples? Have they no one who can take care of hens and ducks, raise chickens and gather up eggs? Is it not as ensv to keep a few sheep, and have lnmbs and mutton to sel as it is to keep swine and sell pork? Are there no flowers in the field or the forest which would furnish honey for a few swrms of bees? Are there not boys, and girls too, who could find time to attend to the spec ialties, and who wou'd, if given a share of the proceeds.take an inteiest'" their work that would attach them more sirongly to the old home and to the healthy farm life Increase the size of the familv garden and grew a greater variety of crops of such sortt as the local markets have to send away to procure. Get a few sheep to run with the cows in the pasture. It Is un old saying that a pasture will better feed one cow and six sheep than it will the cow alone, and if this is not exactly true the first year, the sheep will so enrich the land and keep out the foul weeds that the soil will soon be much better and the gras more abundant. If accustomed to run to gether tile cows will protect the sheep from dogs, and the sale of wocl and lambs will prove a welcome addition to the Income of the farm. Huild an addition to the poullry. house and keep a few more fowls. C;ive them good food and good care, and keep a stirct account of the ex penditures and the sales. A good hen will pay more money over her keeping than a poor cow, and chickens and eggs are cash commodities in almost any village, as cur rent as national bank notes, or easily con verted Into them. Obtain a t:v Wci of bees. They find their own food, and a little attention daily will bi all that they rc pure, and in each one of those hives will be from 20,000 to 50,000 busy workers, gathering honey for their owner from the flowers of the field and the forest. With the modern hives the labor of taking caie of the bees U small, and the art is easily learn ed, and within the limits of the strength of boy or girl, with perhaps a little assistance from older persons at swarming time, A good swarm in a good location can easily make twenty-five pounds of honey in a season, he- side what is needed for their own maintenance and one beekeeper lias reported taking 500 ' pounds from four hives Somebody makes money in flowing these tilings, and why should not the farmer who has land enough and whose fa-nily need work nd need the pay (or their labo'.

'I' lie uational debt of Kngljud is now small er than it has been at any lice since the first decade of the century, and though it is rot being paid off as fast as ours, by any meais, it is being steadily and materially reduced After the battle of Vaicrloo, in 1815, the debt was more than billions of dollars, and the animal interest charge some $163,000 000. As the population of the United King dom was then little more than 19,000,000, the amount of debt per capita w as $236, and the aunual charge to each imhvidual aliou'. $S.6o Since then the debt has ben decreasing near ly all the time, the only peiiod of increase be ing during the Crimein war, and tin present total is given as 53,4nS,60o,.i45.
