We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. We believe the soil loves to eat -, s wc il as the owner, and therefore ought to be well manured. We believe in going to the bot tom of things, and, therefore, in deep plowing and enontrh of it.— Ml the better if it be a subsoil plow. We believe in large crops, which leave the soil better than they found it—making both the farm and farmer rich at once. We beliove that the best fertil izer of any soil is the spirit of in dustry, enterprise and intelligence without this lime, gypsum and will he of little use. O Hanure. Keep the stalls of horses and cattle well littered with some good absorbent. Leaves are most con venient. What the country needs is a plenty of home-made manure, which will enable tho farmer to make heavier crops from less iand. I'arming does not pay when it takes all a man's labor to make his bread. Eight bushels of corn to the acre will not pay ; twen.y for one makes money Keep refuse tanbark, sawdust, roods earth, or refuse of wood piles, in hen houses three inches deep all the wilder. Tu>> ftesb ter in the spring and sow on weak places in wheat field, or reserve to plant in hills with corn or tobacco. Enterprise. ——<mm • i—ii Clean Farming. We heartily indorse tho following !>v a correspondent of Coleman's Rural World: • Nothing should he grown or suf~ fered to grow on a farm that can not be converted into money.— Weeds and briars, therefore, should not be permitted to grow, for there is no money value in them, there fore they are a nuisance A crop of weeds, permitted to go to seed, will exhaust the soil as much as a crop of grass or grain, which have a money value. It is amusing to hear men-—farmers—sav that they let their fields go to weeds in order to rest their land, and to be plowed under the next saason for manure. There can he no objection to the plowing under of green crops as a manure, but the refuse of defunct ‘weeds will add hut little to the fer tility o! the soil. Why not grow grass instead of weeds ? VY ith ve ry little trouble land can be seeded down to grass, and used for pasture or hay ; this can be converted into milk, beef, wool, mutton or pork, out of which money can be made. The droppings of the stock and the -od full of roots, may tie plowed under for another crop in rotation Any system of farming that will admit any part [say one field] of the farm to remain unproductive for one year, can not be considered good farming. Every acre of tilla ble land on a farm, if properly managed, will produce something that can be converted into money. Here is where the great secret of good farming lies. Talk about giving land rest! Give it plenty of food and change o’ occupation, and it requires no rest. With a system based on these principles, it will grow stronger and better eve-” ry year. Raised Muffins. 1 pint 6weet milk, 2 eggs, piece of butter size of an egg, a little salt, 2 table spoons yeast, and flour till thick as pound eak#. A Artv Forage Crop. jow Hungarian or German mil let. It will pay better than late corn. Select good, dry, rich soil. and prepare it as you would a tur nip patch. Harrow it thoroughly. Then sow at the rate of one bushel per acre, if you sow it broadcast, or proportionately less if you sow it in the drill. It will mature in ninety days, and " ill yield on high ly manured land and naturally rich soil upwards of two tons per acre. The best manure for it would probably be cotton seed, previous ly killed before applying to the surface ; then harrow both millet and cotton seed in at the same time. Do not put millet on poor land ; it is like throwing vour money away It will probably pay better than any grass, in this climate. Once make it successful and it will hard ly be necessary to pull fodder for forage. Tho seed is not good for horses, but neat stock are fond of it. Cut it, therefore, before it ma tures its seel. A good mowing machine will cut at least six acres in ten hours. What is one man's labor worth per day when it returns him twelve tons of good hay ? You can cut this crop after the other crops are laid by. Try it. mm The Housewife’® Table. The following is a very valuable housewife’s table, by which persons not having scales and weights at hand may readily measure the ar ticle wanted to form any recipe without the trouble of weighing, al lowance to be made for an extraor dinary dryness or moistuie of the article weighed or measured : \\ heat flour, 1 pound is 1 quart. Indian meal, 1 pound 2 ounces are 1 quart. Butter, when soft, 1 pound is I quart. Loaf sugar, broken, 1 pound is 1 quart. White sugar, powdered, 1 pound 1 ounce are 1 quart. tßest brown sugar, 1 pound 2 ozs. are 1 quart Ten eggs are 1 pound. 1 pint. Eight largo tablespoonful are h pint. Four large tablespoonfuls are I gill. Two gills are a half pint A common-sized tumbler holds half a pint. An ordinary teacup is 1 gill. A largo wine glass is 1 gill. A large tablespoonful is half an ounce. Forty drops are equal to 1 tea spoonful. Four teaspoonfuls are equal to 1 tables poonful. Be Independent. Heaven help the man who imag ines he can dodge enemies by try ing to please everybody ! If s ich an individual ever succeeded, we should he glad of it—not that one should be going throrgh the world trying to find beams to knock and thump bis head against, disputing man's opinion, fighting and elbow ing, and crowding all who differ from him. That, again, is anoth er extreme. Other people have their opinion—so have you ; don't lal! into the error of supposing that they will respect you more for turn in your coat every day to match the color of theirs. Wear your own colors in spite of wind, weath er, storm and sunshine. It costs the vacillating and irresolute ten times the trouble to wind and shuf fle and twist that it does honest, manly independence to stand its ground. ]£s=*Salt should be fumishodto all animals regularly. A cow, or an ox, or a horse needs two to four ounces daily. Salt increases the butter in milk, helps the digestive and nutritive processes, and gives a good appetite. The people of in terior Europe have a saying that a pound of salt makes ten pounds of flesh. Of course, salt only as sists in assimilating the food, it does not make flesh or muscle. Mary had a little lamb, ’Twas always on its muscle, She jerked the wool out of its back And stuffed it in ber bustle. The lenders ol' an Atom. All tiling* visible nround ns are aggregations of atoms. From par ticl.sof dust, which under the mi croscope could scarcely he distin guished one from the other, are all the varied forms of nature created. This grain of dust, this particle of sand, has strange properties and powers. Science has discovered some, but still more truths are hid den within this irregular malecnle of matter which we now survey, than even philosophy dares dream of. ITow strangely it obeys the im pulses of heat—mysterious are the influences of light upon it—electri city wonderfully excites it—and still more curious is the manner in which it obeys the tnagic of chemi cal force. These are phenomena which we have seen ; we know them and we can reproduce them at our pleasure. We hay^ndrafted a little way into the rj r -'ts of na ture, and from the spot we have gained we look forward with a vis ion somewhat brightened by our task ; but we discover so much yet unknown; that we learn another truth our vast ignorance of many things relating to thi -* grain of dust. It gathers around it other parti cles ; they cling together, and eaeh. acting upon every other one, and all of them arranging themselves around the little centre, accordin'! to some law. a beautiful crystal re sults, the geometric perfection of its form being a source of admira tion . It quickens with yet undiscover ed energies ; it moves with life ; dust and vital force combine; blood and bone, nerve and muscle result from the combination. Forces which we cannot, by the utmost re finements of our philosophy object, direct the whole,and from the same dust which formed tho rock and grew in the tree, is produced a liv ing and a breathing thing, capable of receiving a divine illumination, of hearing in its new state the glad ness and the glory of a soul. m 1 He Hi<3s|’t Fare. somewhere Jowti the Linsir.g road, says tho Detroit Free Press, were ruling in a Grand River jcnr yes terday, and the groom insisted on holding tho bride’s hand in his big red paw. “Oh! no don’t!” she said, as she jerked her hand away. “Oh ! luv, let me hold yerhnnd, jest for ten ininuts!” he pleaded. “Shoo ! Don t you see they are looking at. us I” she whispered. “They are, eh !” he replied, looking up and down the ear.— “Wail, now, I’m going to put niv arm right around ye, and if any fellow in this car dares to spit crooked, 111 git up and mop the floor with him until I wear him up lo his shoulder blades !” Ilis arm encircled her, and the other passengers looked as solemn as if they were on their way home from a funeral. A man about thirty years old. having a shot gun on his shoulder and two pigeons in his hand, was standing < n a street corner'telling a crowd that he had been out and killed five hundred pigeons since sunrise. ‘You're a liar!'’ shouted a man in the crowd. The stranger looked avhim long and earnestly, and then ‘Where did you get acquainted with me ?' I*us Itclutiiiu to Arvt s|>]>rr Subscriptions aiul Ar rearages. 1. Subscribers who to not give express notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to continue ilieir subscript inn. 2.
