H envy «av land seems to require the alternate freezing and thawing of winter to pulverize and fit it Cor the next pul verization. Sandy land will ofte much by blowing nwav when not c< by growing crops. Yet there are excep tions to this as to all general rules. For a corn crop it is thought, by many, that spring plowing is decidedly bost on any land, provided the plowing' is done late, just before planting, and the plow not allowed to run more than three or four inches deep. It is certainly a great ini— take to plow heavy land in the spring, whether old ground or sod, before it is dry enough to crumble and pulverize. I f plowed while too wet it is rendered lumpy, and the lumps, will not pulverize all summer. \\ et land plowed in the fall will have tlu* advantage of the winter freezing to pulverize the hard lumps, and this may be, and probably is one reason why many farmers have supposed that fall plowing is always preferable.

During the New York state fair even ing meetings wen* held to persons inter ested in different branches of husbandry, At one of the meetings Mr. A. M. Hal sted read a paper on poultry-raising at practiced in former times, of which the following is an extract: “ Fowls wore regarded os a species of freebooters, and just barely tolerated. They roamed when and where they pleased. If per* chauce they were too free in the garden, f he house-dog was set ujxm them to t’rive them out, or they were pelted with stones, sticks or whatever was m st handy. They roosted in summer in the trees around the door yard; in winter, under the hovels and sheds, on the carts, wagons, ladders, or wherever thev could find a place. For nests, they had nearly all creation—the manger in the stable, the liay-mow in the barn, the old sleigh under the cart-shed, the blackberry patch in the corner of the hog-yard, the brush- heap ia the wood-yard, or the high gras.- or weeds in tlie neighboring meadow Semi-periodical ej?g hunts were made, and the <*gga obtained were sent to the country store and traded off for needles, thread, or other etceteras—many of these ties and too young for broil- b e young were the same. If a hen succeeded in hiding her nest, so neither human nor uniniul foe diaoovered it. she usually brought out a brood of chicks nearly as wild as young partridge*. Later in the season, as eggs became more plenty at the stores, some hens were set, nnii, ns the chicks got old enough, they were killed and sold ns broilers—those which were too wild to catch, and too late hatched to bring good price*, being left for stock for the next season. This was the only ‘survival of the fittest’ known to the poultry-keepers of those days. As to feed, the wood-pile, barn-yard, hog-pen, and kitchen door-steps were the restaurants of the summer, and in the winter, a few handfuls of corn in the morning was thought to be all that was necessary, Advantages or Liberal reeding.

The expression of grief has recently been a subject of investigation by an Italian physiologist, M. l’aolo Mente- pnzza, who lura studied with great care all the contractions which suffering pro duces in the human face, und endeavored to arrive at an exact distinction of the f ihenomena of real from those of simu- nted sorrow.

Still, asthd patient said nothing, lie sup- j>osed it ought to be fastened, and re doubled his efforts for that purpose. For about twenty mujutes lie labored without success.

A first-rate cat story has come to our notice from an entirely authentic source. The scene ia laid in the village of Yarmouth. An aged gentleman and his housekeeper constitute the family, and the good old cat finds the lines are fallen to her in pleasant places. Family lousehold, and the cat fell into the habit of regular and punctual attendance. No other of the cares that proverbially crowd a cat’s life was over allowed to interfere with this religious duty. At the signal for prayers, she would even leave a mouse half caught, or give a doomed bird a longer lease of existence, nnd decorously coin|>osc herself in the lap of the housekeeper with au air of attention to service that was highly edifying. A t the final “amen,” she went friskily about her hqsiness. But in an evil day there came a kitten that was dc?med Huperfluou-, and sentence of death was passed upon it. The head of tlie family undertook tho execution of the sentence, and, unknown to lum. tho cat was a witness to the scene. From that tiny the cat refused to attend service, and can not now he induced to listen to the prayers of one who had so shocked her sensibilities! She faithfully per forms all other duties as before, and so cially purrs for the family on all secular occasions, hut seems to say “ let my re ligious hours alone.” Strange Enough. A pretty incident occurred at Lebanon, Ont., tho other Sunday. Into the Methodist Church flew a robin during service.

A YORKSHIRE trainer recently re vealed his method of meeting a conjugal storm. His plan, he said, was to keep silence and nod his acquiescence to every thing, iio matter what was said by his spouse. “Yes,” remarked one of his friends, “but then she has it all her own way.” “Just so,” replied the Tyke, with satisfaction; “and nothing annoys her so much. There is nothing women hate like a walk-over.” LATEST MARKET QUOTATIONS, ri.OI II. ORAIJI AMI) MKAL. ATLANTA—Flour: Superfine, family, $7m50; extra family, $7.75; I’nnay, $*.00 'flbbl.
