FARM NOTES. Thebe is one system of tillage, says the London Chronicle, particularly. far too prevalent, It is that in small gardens of digging and manuring only one spade 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.

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 which have had less clover but more manure, to but tolerably bushels of sure for twenty The twenty-five lack in such laud is wheat per acre. l*o phosphate more apt to of lime, oud a dressing wheat of ru )>er-pho*phate seeding will cheaply applied and with surely the remedy at this.

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* g or making money, without ac counts.

Professor Hawkes, in a lecture before the Woman’s Physiological Institute of Chicago, gave some palpable attending instances the of widely different result* disposition of brain nutriment in differ persons, John Sherman, for instance, after assimilating the truths of finance, evolved the scheme of specie resumption, the while Gen. Weaver, with access to same sort of brain food, evolved the idea Q f greenbacks* and plenty of them, Similarly, one man became a Republic anj while another was known as a Dem ocrat, and still voted for Andrew Jackson, Mental digestion was involuntary, and dyspepsia and diarrhea were not un familiar attendants of indigestion of both sorts—mental and physical. mental The dyspepsia, think ere were affected with and thoee who do not think, but allowed others to think for them, with mental 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.

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.
