Don't attempt too Much.

The more we see of farms and farm
management, the stronger is our impress
sion of the great need of concentration
of expenditure in labor and capital, upon
four-ffths of the cultivated soil of the
country. The contrary system-that of
expansion--prevails. the ground is "gone
over" carelessly and imperfectly, when it
should be warmed thoroughly and we'll
This may be thought a harsh state
ment. But let us look at it. Is it good
policy to expend the labor of putting in a
crop over six acres, when at the same cost
like result may be realized from three
or four? Will you be content with thirty
bushels corn per acre at an expense of,
say, ten dollars, when by adding labor
and manure to the amount of two or three
dollars more, you may have sixty bushels?
Will you grow inferior stock with the
same amount of food, when by larger
outlay at first, you may have the best
those always salable at good prices
while the unimproved scarcely find pur-
chasers at any price? You will not, if
you consider the subject, carefully and
understandingly.
"Much labor on little land, is the Sc
cret of success in farming Capital is
needed so that every facility and advan.

a man works on the system of expansion
in farming, the poorer he will be in the
end. Think over the matter, brother far
mers! Is it not best to either concentrate
your labor upon less land, or increase
your expenditure for the purpose, SO as
to embrace the whole farm in a thorough
course of culture? To drain, manure.

Cattle Culture.

A writer in New York paper makes
some excellent observations on the neces-
sity and policy of farmers entering into
stock raising. He says:
eve would suppose that the farmers
of this State, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
would find it profitable to turn their at
tention to the raising Of more cattle. The
present scarcity of cattle, so frequently
complained of in our markets here and at
the east, is in great degree referable to
the fact that immense supplies of live
stock, which used to find their way from
the western country to the great markets
on the Atlantic seaboard, are now seeking
and finding more profitable market on
the shores of the Pacific. Cattle of all
kinds are in great demand in California,
and the prices realized by the drovers are
such as to make a journey across the
plains, long and hazardous as it is, mat
ter of but comparatively little account
The cost of feeding cattle on these long
marches is next to nothing, nature gene
rally supplying enough of provender by
the way to fatten the animals by the end
of the journey. This is considered bet
ter by the farmers than bringing stock to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston; better than paying heavy railroad
and ferry boat fares to reach those mar
kets, and after getting there pocketing
profits that are never more than moderate.
This diversion of cattle from our markets
in this part of the country, is serious in
convenience to our population, to whom
animal food is an almost daily necessity.
But we see no help for it so long as prices,
backed by ready demand. To higher
the price of the western cattle thus with
draw from our eastern markets, the far
mers in the grazing districts of New Eng
land, New York and Pennsylvania, we
think would find it profitable to devote
more attention to this particular branch
of agriculture. There is an opening for
it now it never had before. In this con-
nection, we may mention some facts afford
ing an idea of the extent of the cattle
trade that is carried on by some of the
graziers of Ohio alone. A Mr.. Edward
Potter, formerly of Newburg, Geauga
county, arrived at Los Angeles on the 90,
January last, having in charge a large
drove of beeves and sheep. He left the
Missouri river in May, 1853, having thus
been about eight months on the journey.
He travelled by the way of the Great Salt
Lake. Mr.. Potter says American sheep
are worth from twelve to fifteen dollars
per head; working oxen two hundred dol
lars per yoke; cows seventy-fve dollars
per head; and ga drove of Davons from
Geauga would be worth or the men would
ask, for a few thousand COWS and heifers
of that description could be sold for two
and three hundred dollars per head.

For the Wyandot Pioneer.
May 18, 1854.


Mr.. EDIroR:-I was in your place in
1919, and assisted in the erection of the
Notifications on the plains, and drank Of
ten out of the springs on the edge of your
beautiful prairies since. In very dry
season drove my sheep to your plains;
they done exceedingly we'll, came away
in the fall, all in fine order. l am salts
fed that your county is admirably adapt
ed to fine wool growing, and am pleased
to learn, your farmers are turning their
attention that way. When care is taken
to keep the sheep in thriving condition,
all the year. and sell your worst sheep
when they are in the prime of life, and
give room for your improved lambs, the
profits come in sooner than cattle or hors-
es, and more regular. First, the wool
in June; second, the sale of weathers in
July; third, the yews in August, after
weaving; fourth the bucks for breeders
in the fall
Messrs. G. M. Car and H. J. Star,
bought of me lot of fine sheep, and
wished me to give them their pedigree.
The cars came before / had time to write
it, and have forgotten their postofice,
and 1 have thought that through your pa
per they might have it, and you would
oblige us both. think from the samples
from their own focks, and the selections
they made here, they will have flock
that would be an honor to any county.
They showed me lot of very fine wool
ed sheep, bought of Mr.. Ladd, and a
beautiful Selician yew, well calculated to
raise fine Ohio sheep from.
l sold these gentlemen one of my best
State premium yews, being a cross from
Mr.. Sibley's Gold Medal stock of New
Hampshire and Mr.. Whitman's of Con-
necticut; also, one of cross from the
Grove stock and Whitman's; also, two
bred from Sibley's and Whitman's stock;
also, one cross from New York pre-
MUM yew and Whitman's Buck; also,
one of my best bucks of the Whitman
stock; also, one buck of the New York
premium stock; this stock of sheep has
taken the first premiums and sweep stakes
at State and County fairs.
THOMAS pEED
1t is our opinion that neither G. M.
Karr or H. J. Star live in this county, for
if men of their wealth, possessing fne
sheep, lived in the county, their own in
tsrests would actuate them to take their
county paper, thing, we know, they do
not do. But we have very. .few wealthy
farmers and sheep growers living in the
county who do not take the Pioneer, only
because they have not time to read it, or
fol some other cause just as reasonaUe.-
What an industrious people they mnst be.
Mr.. Reed, it would be worse than useless
for us to send these gentlemen Pioneer,
for if they have lived in the county very
long and had not time to send for the paper
ere this, it is not likely they would have
time to read it if sent to them.

Keeping Teeth Clean

Microscopical examinations had been
made of the matter deposited on the teeth
and gums of more than forty individuals,
selected from all classes of society, in ev-
cry variety of bodily condition, and in
nearly every case animal and vegetable
parasites in great numbers had been dis
covered. Of the animal parasites there
were three or four species, and of the
vegetable, one or two. In fact, the only
persons whose mouths were found to be
completely free from them, cleansed their
teeth four times daily, using soap once.
One or two Of these individuals also pass
ed a thread between the teeth to cleanse
them more efectually In all cases the
number OF the parasites was greater in
proportion to the neglect of cleanliness;
the effect of the application of various
agents was also noticed. Tobacco Juice
and smoke did not impair their vitality in
the least. The same was also true of the
chlorine tooth-wash, of pulverized bark,
OF soda, ammonia, and various other pop
ular detergents. The application of soap,
however, appeared to destroy them in
stantly. We may hence infer that this is
the best and most proper specific for
cleansing the teeth. In all cases where it
has been tried, it receives unqualified
commendation. 1t may also be proper
