but what they Sare. The merchant who sells
by the thousand per day, and saves bnL one per
cent, retains no more than lie who sells by the
hundred and Slves ten per cent. For The same
reason, some farmers with few acres actually
make more than Others on large farms. Let
each farmer then, begin right now by looking
closely TO the causc of wasle. For inS!ancc-
how many tons of hay arc lroddcn under foot
and wasted in ten years by hi- cattle, for want
of feeding racks How much is he yearly losing
by i waste of maunre--or, in other words, by
making only half the manure he might! How
much food is consumed necdes>ly in Il year, to
keep his cattle and sheep warm in the winter, in
exposed yards--onc-lhird more being needed
than in guod shelter! What is lost for want of
good straw and stalk chopper? What amount
is wasted for want of cleanliness and comfort
for all domestic animals? What is the loss by
the backward under current, gradually Iessening
the worth Of his farm by over cropping and un-
der manuring-and by want of 4 good rotation
of crops! How much is he loosng by not
knowing the best mode Of attaining all these
desirable purpo<cs--by not knowing how others
hive done it best-iud which is 50 readily and
thoroughly learned through! good agricultural
paper!

DENTISTRY is now a science but there are
travelling operators ':on the frontiers" who set
the teeth on edge without any scientific knuw-
edge whatever. A certain notable of this quc--

Of his paticut-Iigltened up her smiles with the

Take stick of phosphorus and put il into 4
large dry phal, not cnrked, aud it will afford a
light sufficient TO discern any object in n room
