If much is expected from land, uiiicU Vaust be given to it. SllroKfn. All farmers should know the impor tance of the element called nitrogen, and when they do not have commercial ma nures which contain it, they should study the modes of procuring it. Shading lands and letting it rest, benefits it Shade accumulates nitrogen, and res assists in absorbing ammonia from tin ntmostphere, ns well as the nitric acid brought down hv electric showers from the clouds. An application of plaster of Paris causes plants to grow larger, and thus accumulate more nitrogen from the atmosphere. When green crops are plow ed under, they show their fertilizing plainly than when dry, 1k*- onsequencc Cause tl. is the hydrogen contained thercii free more rapidly, and coming in contact with the nitrogen of the atmosphere, combines with it to produce ammonia. Among the wavs in which lime benefit'* land—one, is the lime absorbs and re tains the nitric acid of the atmosphere, and causes the more rapid decomposition of the vegetable matter contained in the and, tlius forming ammonia.

Never breed from sickly nr weak con litutioued fowls, as your chickens rthless and also bring disease. It is said that never in the history of this country was there so much winter wheat sown as this fall, nor ever was it looking better, if as well. Many farmers ^e fowing it down with sheep, calyv'S nd cows. While there fire many cows that will not pay for their keeping, for the ship ’ reason that “they hnVt> hot it in imm," there a great many that do not pay, bill which would pay if they were properly taken care of.

Those farmers who read live agricul tural papers are constantly raising their standard of farming, getting into the l*ost breed of stock, and are gradually having their fanqa thoroughly furnished with the best animals of all classes. The corn crop of the United States, this •ar. according to the last report of the national agricultural department, ex ceeds that of 1^78 by 150,000,000. In the states and territories west of the Mississippi river the increase is over 100,- 000,000. The farmer should have improved nm* liincry, learn the science of agricultural hemistry, the proper rotation of crops, the art of reeuivratmg depleted lands; in fact, should keep up with the times studying the science that unddHtes the art of farming. Mr. Young the great corn-grower of Kentucky, who grows 100 bushels to the acre, puts a field in corn two succes sive years, then seeds it down and let it remain in corn. All through his farm ing he has never deviated from this course. The corn is planted? »n hills, and never more than four stalks are al lowed to remain in each hill. .Soils vary in their powers of absorbing inanurial substances. Porous soils net more powerfully in this respect than very stiff, retentive elavs: although Prof. Voelckcr has ascertained that there is not very much difference between the nbsorbtiyc powers of a sandy soil as com pared with a calcareous or elav one; while the general results of experiments prove that sandy soils arc not equal to loamy soils as absorbents of manure-. But a soil has not an unlimited capacity for absorbing inanurial substances. If a solution of ammonia-phosphate, says Prof. Cameron, be passed for some time through a weighed quantity of soil, it will after a certain time passthrough unchanged, If, however, one pint of solution of ammonia-phosphate l*cfilter ed through a portion of the soil, the am monia and phosphoric acid retained by the latter will not even, except in very small pait, Ik* removed by filtering through the soil a pint of pure wi This shows that the soil has a greater power of removing ammonia from solu tion than water has of removing an nia from the soil.

At intervals he stole a puff, after glanc ing furtively about, and as the smoke Issued from hit mouth he at first wore a satisfied air, but it soon changed to ono of anxiety. The flow of saliva became great and bb he ejected it he cast sus picious glances at the smoking weed, took two or three short draws, looked at the cigar again and finally spit on the burning end and extinguished the fire. As the cigar was too valuable to bo thrown away he put it in his pocket and kept it there until he reached Lnfayotto Park where he sat down for a brief'rest. It was plain to be seen, soon after lio planted himself on the coping, that a row was in progress in his stomach and some thing was bound to put in an appear ance.

In imitation of the historicaflconoolnst a scientific disillusionist, writing for tho Popular Science Monthly, says that tho belief in the power of a serpent to charm ■mall animals had its origin in super stitious ignorance.

Tho •nAkes fangs being thin and retractile be says no effort is made to retain tho prey after it is onced seized. Stealthily the serpent creeps up to its victim and inflicts tho fatal wound.

The memory is more developed among the peasantry than among citizens; nnu among the Clergy than amonp- the laity. From a physiological point of view, memory is diminished by over-feeding, by physical exercise, nnd by education, in this sense, that the illiterate have po tentially more-memory than those who know how to' read nnd write.

In one electoral district onlv one voter put in tn appearance on election day. “ For whom who do you vote?” said the roturhing officer. “For myself!* “ If elected will you serve as an elec tor?’ “ No.” “Then,” said the returning officer, smiling at the str.TTigo simplicity of tho man, “ I ^pust ask you the first question over aga^ft. Whom do you vote for? ’ “ For^yself. “ Oh/ then you have made up your mind V* serve if you are elected.” “ NA” “Ih the name of Bismarck I adjure you V^u chucklc-headcd ass,” yelled the retinning officer at the top of his voice; “ toil me, for the third and last time, whom do you vote for, then?” 'The voter, with dignity: “Having been thrice honored by my fellow-citi zens with a unanimous election to this important trust, after I had twice de clined the honor they would thrust upon me, I feel that I can no longer resist their appeal, but must sneriflric* my per sonal preferences to my anxiety for the public welfare. I vote for myself and will serve if elected!” The “Nn Orthografy.” When we adopt tho new style of orthography, items will appear like this example, taken from the Whitehall Times: “The nu stylo of orthografy is attracting attenshun just now.
