One big leak on the farm, as odinari ly carried on, ii a waste of labor; tbe nsir>£ of too mncb laLor in the place where it does not pay, and too little where it eonld be profitably used. We see this assertion illustrated almost daily in our rides, and recommended most persistently in some of our agri cultural exchange*. What will we see this spring ? Well, for one thing, whole piles of manure which have been dilu ted and sbovcled over and reehovclcd, and, after all the labor, no bettor for tbo farm crops, in most eases, than if it had been let alono. Th is idea that bulk, und not plant food, constitutes manure has wrought the farmer tin ch injury. Wc have here the waste of labor during tbojwiotry months, and tlie waste of la bor in carting out rnd distributing on tbe land, and but little corresponding gain. A little later we shall sco deep plowing being done, when shallow plow ing would answer as well, and shallow plowing where deep plowing is needed, here is a waste of labor from not ?intcl li,-. ntly applying means to result. How much wasto here can be illustrated by fi, ores. In one trial of a plow with a (]•,: tonometer attached, to mcasuro the ! ..-.ycr used, the increase of two inches of (loptb increased the draught 93 Ib*.; in another oase, increasining the depth of,, furrow from five to nine incites, increased the draught 112 lbs. Another wasto is us- ii.g a poor plow, which may be illustrated again by figures. Thu*, in (ho New York State Agricultural Society's trial of plows there was a difference of 53 per cent, in tbo pow er required to dtaw different plows through the same soil with furrows of equal size. A third waste is in the cutting of narrow lurrows where wide ones will anßwor ns well. It takes double the tune to nlow nn acre when the width of the furrow is G inches, than when it is 12 inches, and yet the increase in the draught does not seem in propotion to tho width of tho furrow, for hut 10 per cent, of tbe draught of tho plow appears to be rexuired for the turning of the lur row slice. In one trial, an 8 inch furrow was turned by nn expenditure for draught of 405 lbs, and a 12-inch furrow n puired but 454 lbs , a grain of 4 inches in width, and using of but 49 lbs. of motive power. This fact may bo better expressed by our Buying that tho Net* York trial servos to show that while a furrow slioo 16 inches broad required but 4.64 lb*, for each square inch of sectional area, nu P inch furrow slice took 730 lbs per square inch of sectioual area. We thus seo what waste thero may bo in in the simple matter of plowing, and in this same waste may bo observed in the planting and tillage of tbe crop, a* well as in tbo harvesting. Indeed the farm abounds in wiiblcs —waste everywhere through lack of careful thought and judicious planning; and it only goes to show what ft reliable busines farming is when it can stand snob waste and still pay. It is n sign of tbo bettor farmer, when wo see a diminution in waste*; and indeed, the diminution of waste is at tbo founda tion of, nay, is tbo beginning of im provement The principle which un derlies tho most successful farming is tbo accomplishing of largo results in tbe cheapest and moat reliable way, and to do shift requires much study and reflection, combined with a busi ness forethought. It is tlii* which lends the charm to the culture of tho soil, and it is this which shall elevate tho farming pursuit into nn intellec tual us well as a practical calling.— E.

Dll, HALL’S ADVICE All you who keep laic hour*, in crowded and heated room*, until ani mal vigor and mental sprighllincss are rxoustod, and yet must breast the bleak winds to get homo, should keep their mouths closed. I sec nothing amiss in the festivities of friends and iu ij.libora mid kindred daring tho long wilder evening*; letter that thnn mo ; is.,; nt 1 ome; nothng nmiss in tkcglad re unions of the young and chccry h arlej, even though they tuny b ex donee in a while to tho “wee si; ti lours ayant tho twal ” I love to vs oe! I ness in all, at any hour of tbo tivlnn tv-four; but to do these things safely and long, make it ft practice to id vi two simple and ensy precautions. Ib f ire you leave, bundle up well— g\ vos, cloak, comforter —shut your nn utb before you open the street door, aid keep it resolut-ly closed until you have walked briskly for some ten min utes, then if you keep ou walking, or have reached your home, you may talk as much ss you please. Ni t so doing, many a heart once bapfy nd young now lies in tho churchyard, that might have been young and happy still But how ? If you keep your niouib closed und walk mqidly, the air can only reach the lungs by the circuit of tbe nose and head, and becomes warmed before reach ing the lungs, thus causing uo derange ment; but if you converse, large drafts of cold air dash diiectly in upon the lungs, chilling the whole frame almost instantly. The brisk walking throws, the blood to iho surface cf the body, thus keeping up a vigorous circulation making a cold impossible, if you don’t get into a cold bed too quick after you get Lome. Keeled ol these things brings sickness and feruiatuie death to multitudes every year. Macon & Brurswick Railroad Gesebai. Supem n ten dent's Office I Macon, Ga..

Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, Eco nomical and Ornamental. A roof may be covered with a very cheap shingle, and by application of this slate be made to lust from 20 to 25 years. Old roofs can be patched and coated, looking much better and lasting longer than new shingles without tbe slate, fur On< -third the cost of Re-shlnalln^. The expense of slating new shingles is only about the cost of simply laying them. The paint is fibe-proof against sparks and flying embers, as may be easily Misled by any one. IT STOPS EVERY LEAK, and for tin or iron has no eqoeal, as it expands by heat, contracts by cold, and never ckacks nor scale*. Roofs cov ered with Tar Sheating Felt can be made water-tight at a small expense, and preserved for many years. This Slate Paint is EXTREMELY CHEAP. Two gallonspvill eoverahunred square feet of shingle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or any smooth surface, from two quarts to one gallon are requited to 100 squaro feet of sur face, and altough the paint has a heavy body it is easily applied with a brush. No Tar Is used In tills C'omposll'on, therefore it neither cracks in Winter, nor runs in,Summer. On decayed shingles, it fills np the boles and pores, and gives anew sub stantial roof that will last for years. Curled or Wabped shingles it brings to their places, and keeps them there. It fills up all holes in felt roofs, stops tho leaks—and although a slow dryer, rain does not affect it a few hours af ter applying. As nearly all paiuts that are black contain tab, be sure you ob tain our genuine article,which (for shin gles roofs) is CHOCOLATE COLOR, when first applied, changing in about a month to a uniform slate color, and is, to all intents aud purposes slatf.
