This is the true philosophy Of culture;
stir the ground The direction for ear
ly and good crops, after the proper
previous preparation, would be to stir
tho ground. Crops are like animals
they need petting and care. A
friend was rcmarking to us, one even
ing, the difference in growth of melon
vines i'll u neighbor's garden and in
his own side by side on the same kind
of soil and both rich, with the same
kind of preparation for the seed, and
the seed sown at the same time. The
neighbor's melons were in blossom,
while his own, he said, were but three
or four inches in height. This differ
cnce had been produced by the CON
stant labor and care Of the gardener
in string the ground and regulating
the amout ofsm and shade, air and
moisture, they received.

The Poisoned valley.

IMPORTANT TRUru.--No farmer can
realize the full benefits of his proies-
sion without adopting u thorough sys-
ten Of culture. His success, com
mcnsurate to his wishes, always de-
pcnds upon the manner in which he
prepares his grounds, plants his seed,
and rcars his stock. Neither ofthcse
departments, which may be consider
cd the cardinal ones Of his profession,
will take care of themselves. The
soil may be rich, but it needs culture.
Ills seed may be sown. but it should
be in due l;mcand always on soil well
prepared, and of a suitable quality for
the production of the crop desired
lis stock must be constantly cared for
it derives its thrift from the soil
and sends back again to that soil the
sustenancc itrequircs; but this is not
done i'll loose or hap.hazard way
The farmers care is required, and all
his better judgment must be constant
ly exercised in keeping up this sys,
tenn of reciprocal benefits that may be
realized by every intelligent and in
dustrious farmer.

the party, with their watches in their
hands, observed the effects. At the
expiration of fourteen seconds the dog
fell of his legs, without moving or
looking around, and continued alive
only eighteen minutes. The other dog
now left the party and went to his
companion; on rcachiug him he was
observed 10 stand quite motionless,

down; he never moved his limbs after.

was now thrown in, which died in a

which was thrown after it, died in the
space OF n minute and q half. Il heavy

the experiments, was quite disregard

The OLp WOMAN PuYsIc1AS.-T There
is class of physician whose success in
practice altogether depends upon their
good natured congcniality with old wo-
men and nurses, and the fact of al
ways carrying in their capacious pock-
cts a. good supply Of cakes and can
dies for the children of the Ea.nili-
es they may chance to attend. The
old Woman Physician is such an at
tcntive, good naturcd creature, and so
kind in his manners, that his name is
handed from nurse to nurse, SO that
he soon acquires sort OF 'panada' re-
putation, from which he manages to
exc out Il very comfortable existence.
He is in full possession of all the
small dodgcs which smaller doctors
use to obtain notoricty. lie causes him
self frequently to be called out of
church by wcll-traincd, breathlcss
messenger. 1t is amusing to see with
what consumlnatc art he similates sur
prise and vcxation at being disturbed
in his dcvotions, although for some
time previous to the incident, he had
been frequently turning from God to
the church door, wondering what the
devil kept his man SO long! In his con
vcrSation lie has a plentiful supply Of
learned technicaltics. which he uses
with excessive prodigalty among those
he feels pretty certain are not liable to
detect their lnisapplication. He tries to
identify himself as much as posi-
bic with his patient, in the use of
the almighty and royal ,cc. "Oh, how
do we to day!" "Yes,-hcm. really
think there is less tenderness in the
cpigastrc region, and that our irrta
ton and disturbance in the abdomin-
al yiscera has slightly improved. Ah,
ycs-I think, upon the whole, we
are better. We must continue our
Alternatives for day or two, then we
Viii throw in some gentle tones m
.futio gentionG on the iafuSio an
themides. Good morning, my dear
madame. How are the dear little chill
drcn? All Well? Delighted. Good day"
So he goes to palavor the next pa
tent pretty mnch in the same way.
lfpcoplc will employ such twat-
Ting fools, We would advise them to
do as Il sick man once did to his ply
scian.
Did YOU follow my prescrption?''
said the Doctor.
"No. | did not" said the patient.
"Why not, my dear sir?"
