".'he barn yard may be takoa as the ind-x character of the farmer. Asia the bant yard, so is the farmer. It-is wci 1 that all of us should remember that fn this case it is no figure of speech to " that ‘ straws show which way the wind blows.” The arrangements of the barn-yard is not for show altogether. The profits of the farm depends to a crat extent upon it. It is in the yard and the barns that the produce ot the f„tm that is not sold outright, is con verted into beef, pork, mutton, wool, or milk and butter —articles that may be, pvoOubly sold It is in the yard a.so that the manure is made and kept — The barn and the barn-yard are the man uiactnry of the farm, and if they arc nut arranged with a view to economy, a l" rge wif results that reduces the farmer’s profit. Useful buildings •nay be made of log* and prairie sods, or poles and coarse bay , and these, by skillful arrangements, may be made to to serve as useful a purpose as dressed lumber and paint or pressed fine..— The main points are, warmth, dryness and ventilation; for food is wasted when an animal shivers in its stable or w hon its health is injured by damp, filthy or bad air. A farmer who is thoughful about such small things as this (although this is more important than it appears), may be to a care lull, t nifty man who, by and by will be able to build a barn, with all the im provements, and to build it properly, too The old proverb, “ take, care ot smal tilings, and large onc3 will take care ot themselves,” is applicable to matters about faru o, and barn-yards especially. When small things are watched, large ones are not forgotten. The Folly of Large Farms. Many a man has been ruined by a largo farm, who might have acquired a competency on one with half the num ber of acres. Most farmers are anxious for Isrge plantations, and many are thus betrayed into the error of attempting to Work "a greater quantity of ground than they have the means of managing to advantage—some in the decisive hope of acquiring these means by future sa> vings, others from the vanity of hold ing more land than their neighbors; hence arises a deficiency of stock, im perfect tillage, and scanty crops, with all the train of rent to arenr, wages ill paid, and debt unsatisfied, and final ru in. fJe who prudently commences with Iy such a number of acres as lie has* power of cultivating with proper effect) is certain of raising the full return from the soil; and his engagement being in accordance with his means, lie enjoys present ease of mind, and lays the su rest foundation for future prosperity. It, therefore, behooves'a man to weigh well the charges with his means, and never allow himself to be seduced by an ideal prospect of gain into the im prudence of entering upon a larger farm than his capital will enable him to manage with the spirit necessary to in sure success. Lf a farmer has a hundred acers it would be much better for him to put the price of another hundred more on it than to buy one hundred more and make the same labor produces double the ertip, and not have double labor for double crops, as is usually the case with us. " Cure lor Hog Cholera. The following cure for hog cholera has been well tested in Illinois, and has never failed, so tar as we have ever heard, to effect a rapid cure : Make a strong tea from the May-apple root; for each hundred hogs add one pound of assafetida, and make a stiff slop with bran. For a cure, feed once a day ; for A preventive,,once a week Moore’s Mixture to Preserve the Health and Swine : Three bushel3 wood ashes ; one-half Twobushel slacked lime ; one-fourth bushle salt ; pounds Spanish brown ; five pounds suphur ; one-fourth pound saltpetre ; pound cop peras. Pulverize the last two thorough ly ; mix ail in a bin or box, and keep n an open trough where the hogs can have free access to it, and il you lack a sufficient amount, of some ol the ingre-* dients, mix smaller amounts of each in the same proportion. You will soon observe the hog in your herb who are not doing well will oftenest visit this trough, and their improvement will be marked and rapid. Kerosene Oil foe Hen Lice. —Hen lice are among the greatest drawbacks to the poultry yard ; they are especial ly troublesome in small yards and coops where the fowls cannot have free ac cess to green food arid dry earth. We have various remedies, and have found kerosene oil to be a very ceffctual and sai’e one. It is applied with very lit tle trouble ; pour it from the can upon the perches where the fowls roost, and when the hens are ready to brood satu rate the inside of the box before the clean hay or straw is put in with the eggs. It is very much less trouble to use the oil than to use a wash fi< to bweco , or to go through a process of whitwasliiog once a month. Trying to please everybody is like rying ts apoloize to a lot of h roots or lunuiuf against thesr nest. -tHoiuiiial. AN ADDRESS TO THE SICK. Do you \v;ilit to purify the system ?
