FARM NOTES.
Thebe is one system of tillage, says
the London Chronicle, particularly. far too prevalent, It is that

deep till a few inches of the top soil are
poisoned with dung, and turned into a
moving mass of slugs and grnbs, while
the sulisoil is os hard as adamant.
Wateb for Cows.—B e careful about
letting your cattle drink from ditches, or
from pools in which they are accustomed
to stand, or in which their droppings are
dejsjsited. It is not only liable to injure
the health of the stock, but it is also a
fruitful cause of malarial and typhoid
fevers among those who use the miik
from cows thus watered.

Auorr Clover,— W. J. Fowler, writ¬
ing to an exchange, says: “ The fertility
of good land may be maintained hv the
use of clover alone, a* shown by the ex
penene* York of hundreds of Western New
farmers. 1 know pieces of laud
that have never had manure. Alternate
wheat and clover has been the rotation
ever since the original timber was out off.
The clover each alternate year hua been
plowed under, and nothing but gyp¬
sum, at the rat© of 100 pounds j *r acre
per year, has ever been applied, This
land is still in good condition, not quite
equal to the field near the barnyard, and

In any event where clover ia grown there
decay must always and this lot will the roots in the soil rapid te
deterioration of fertility. prevent So very much al¬

thgt commercial manures which on trial
prove profitable should always 1* used."
Keep accounts and know precisely
what is done, and i* doing, and how the
business of the farm is paying, in what
particular it is paying, and where it is
losing. Farming does pay. It is the
most profitable busines* in the world.
The louse snd careless manner in which
it is generally carried on would utterly
wreck any less profitable business. There
was once a man who made certain attach¬
ments for looms known as “pickers,”
and prepared the raw hide from which
it they were made himself. But he thought
was a more cleanlv and better business
to and buy the hides ana merely cut them np
make the pickers. So he bought the
hides from a neighbor, and the first year
he was overwhelmsd with debt snd sold
out. and his neighbor became rich by
curing hides. The unfortunate man made
money so fast before that he never
trembled himself how it was made, and
only learned too late that one part of hi*
business was profitable and the other was
not; but then he had given over te his
neighbor th# profit* and kept the losses
for himself. It is mnch the same with
farming, loain for no one can tell where he i*

counts. Just now is a seasonable time

diarrhea, exhibiting itself wherever they
were afflicted with a rush of words. The
Professor enumerated as the chief cause
0 f indigestion the hurried peculiarly eating. American Good,
stomachic vice of
perfect digestion might be said to be al¬
most unknown to the average American,
'What with rapid eating, lack of sufficient
sleep, and want of rest, nature had no
adequate provision for such extraordinary
expenditure of nervous force. Ordinarily
gome men swallowed as mnch in ten
minutes as it would require three-fourths
Q f an hour to eat, and the result was not
only that they ate too much, but the
food which nnphysiologically they took into masticated, their stomachs and
was stomach
the given a duty to perform
which properly belonged to the organB
or mastication. These unnatural drafts
on nature’s forces must, unless checked,
tell sooner or later on the general health,
The bolting of food was almost universal
in this country, and second to no other
cause in producing indigestion. The
use of liquids during a meal was all
wrong, for the reason that jt tended to a
disuse of the organs of mastication,
while plenty of liquid before but and after
meal was not beneficial,
Nothing, however, should be taken
into the stomach that was either
hotter than the blood or colder
than dessert, the eaten atmosphere. when the appetite Unnecessary id
was
ready sated, was another evil, while a
still further cause of indigestion lay in
the growing o’clock practice of The indulging in
hearty 6 however, dinners. Professor
admitted, that for certain
classes of business men, such as bankers,
board of trade people, etc., a noonday
dinner would practically amount to
suicide; but for people wh o could eat a
hearty dinner in the middle of the day,
and who were in the habit of retiring
early, inadvisable, an evening for dinner was wholly
the reason that it al
lowed too little time for digestion.
Coffee drinking was duly deprecated health, as
both needless and injurious to
and a reform in the directions indicated
was urged as the only remedy for th«
great American evil—indigestion,
A Boy’s Joke.
While a man waa dashing with all his

train, a gamin rushed to him and shout¬
ed :
“Hey, I have,” mister, have you got a pin? ”
“ sudden halt, responded feeling the man, coming

jumped of yelled the boy, as he
out the way, “you had bet¬
head, ter fasten your ears together behind your
so as you won’t mash any swingin’
signs with ’em.”
The pedestrian passed on unheedful
of the advice given him.
Speaking of ’ actresses,
Sun: “Two says Peck’s
years ago Clara Morris had
trouble in getting 825 per week, and
now sho commands 82,000 per week.
This is the reward of merit, and not
because she is the mother of children
that are not wise. Clara is a splendid
actress, deserves all she gets, and she
does not get proud and order dresses
from Paris.”

English Farmers.
Mr. Findlay Dun, a member of the
Royal Agricultural Commission in En
jland, and and states Eastern that throughout counties and the in Mid
some
of the Southern counties the position of
the F.nglich farmer is critical and shows
little sign of amendment. To render
English farming Mr. less Dim precarious recommends and
more profitable, diversity. Less dependence
greater
i;han heretofore must be placed on ara¬
ble ly culture; less wheat must be general¬ be
grown; more Jive stock must
reared and fed; more dairying, vegeta¬
ble and fruit culture must be prosecuted.
The old lands of England lie considers
oonld not be economically farmed on
the rough-and-ready They system require successful
in this country. increas¬
ing capital, skill and resource to make
them yield even a fair reward for the
labor expended landlords on them. and For tenants—the the ad¬
vantage of
community at large, in fact—Mr. Dim
thinks that the old laws of entail and
primogeniture should be either abol¬
ished or so changed as to suit the re¬
quirements of modem times. They
were good enough in their day, but their
day is gone. The position of national the En¬
glish farmers has become a
question. Shortened farm crops, dis¬
ease among live stock and other causes
have coml lined to shrink English farm
returns from £10,000,000 to £20,000,-.

His Honor.
who Stepping into “Hon.” the office of a lawyei Jones
prefixes to his name,
was informed by the clerk, “Mr. Blank
waa talking of going to New York.
Very doubt likely his said honor has gone.” “No
of it,” Jones, as he closed the
door; “no doubt of it—if he ever had
any.”
A Texas man said he preferred to fight
a duel rather than act as judge of a baby
show. This fighting is surprising, as he could
get more out of a baby show.
