Voltairc once met Pierre, his NOR.
tai enemy, in debate at an evening par.
ty. lie Immediately informed the
hostess that he should leave instantly
unless Pierre should agree to speak
not more than three words during the
evening. The latter consented, and
remained silent under this abuse of his
antagonist. As the company were a
bout retiring, Voltair remarked in
his conversation that upon a certain
occasion, being quite furnished he had
eaten more oysters than Sampson slew
OF the Pbilislines. "ADd with the
same instrument" Immediately re-
torted Pierre.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 18TH.
SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.


There was a time when this was
by.word Of scorn. Farmers wanted no
new.(anglcd notions, but were content
to sow and reap as their fathers had
done before them. But, fortunately
for mankind, this prejudice is passing
away. Leibcg has demonstrated that,
for every grain of wheat which is
grown, certain quantity Of potash
is taken up from the soil, and that, IN.
til this lost ingredient is restored, eli
Their by manuring or letting the
ground lie fallow, the capacity Of that
particular field to raise wheat is so
far diminished. He has shown also
that what is true Of whca, is also true
OF rye, oats, Indian corn, grasses, anb
all other vegetable products, the inre.
dient taken up only being altered.
What the great agricultural chem.
list had thus demonstrated ia the iabo-
ratory, cnterprising farmers in Scot
land and England have proved prac-
tically in the ield. The laws which
govern the growth Of plants have
been analysed and exempifcd as sue
cessiully as those which control the
circulation Of the blood, the use ofres
piration, or the constitution Of the air.
TO be successful in raising a good
crop is now q matter of known cause
and effect as the driving ola lOcomo.
tive or the lighting Of a city.
Yet in spite Of this, scientific agr-
culture is still greatly neglected. Ev-
en- one Of it's first laws, that no more
land should be formed than can be
thoroughly cultivated, is constantly
neglected. Three agrculturists out
ofevery four. in the State Of Pennsyl-
vania alone, where, generally cult
walton is so thorough and remunera-
tive, undertake far more land than
they can properly manage. An agri-
cultural contemporary in view Of this
fact estimates that an improved econ
omy in this matter would add to the
nett receipts Of each farm annually an
increase Of cne-sxteenth over the
present yield of grains, or enough to
pay the taxes ROW collected yearly on
the land, which amount, as is well
known, to the round sum two millions
of dollars. To each particular far.
mer it seems but small leak yet how
vast is he aggregate! The difference
between what might be done, and
what is done, merely in this one mat
ter, would, in thirty years, make any
farmer rich. 1t is a difference that, in
a year of droughls would avert a scar
city. 1t is n difference that, at all
tines would materially contribute to.

The ADVANTAGES OF CRIYoLINE.--In
Lancaster, Pa, the other day, lady
was walking out with a little dog as
a beau, when tall, gruG.looking
hound made rush at the little dog.
The latter very nimbly skipped around
the lady and disappeared. The hound
looked first this side, then that, then up
into the air. and after taking turn
about the lady, walked off in great as.
thereupon the little dog,
wagging his tail with exceeding Joy
at his escape emerged from under the
ample folds of the lady's criDoline.

PUMPKINS Us. TuRNlps.--To expert
mcnt q little in testing the respective
merits of the pumpkin and turnip,
would not incur much either trouble
or expense, and it would be interest
ing to endeavor to find their respective
value as food for cattle. A trial
might be conducted on small scale
by dividing an acre of land say into
four equal parts, on which might be
compared pumpkins turnips, bccts
and cabbages testing the respective
merits of each crop. Amy and all of
these vegetables would be useful as
cattle food, consequently there could
not be much loss by the experiment.
Turnips and beets are well known
to be valuable for fattening purposes,
also for milch cows; turnips, towevcr,
give the milk an unpleasant flavor.
Cabbages, as we'll as beets, or
mangcl wurtzel, are also good for
mich COWS, and both tend greatly to
increase the quantity Of milk. Car.
rots are also an excellent root, and
we'll deserve the attention Of the far
mer; they are valuable food for horses,
and are also good for horned cattle and
hogs, but are more valuable when
cooked or steamed.
The respective merits of the pump
kin and the turnip might be tried upon
two mich cows of pretty equal condi-
ton for a certain period; one having
AN allowance of the pumpkin, and the
other of turnips, and the comparative
effects on condition and milk carefully
noted. After a trial in this way for Il
time the food might be changed, and
the COW that first had the pumpkins
might now receive the turnips, and the
cow that first had the turnips might
now receive the pumpkins. Try in
this way for limited time, by which
means a tolerable accurate estimate
might be formed Of their relative mer-
its as food for mich COWS. The same
process might be tried on two fattening
animals--due note being taken of the
progress of each during the continu-
ance of the experiment. Such expe-
riments are always interesting, and
frequently of considerable value by
their assistance in DINING sound opin-
ions, and giving confidence to he farm
er's operations.--Country Gentleman.

EFFECT OF On UpoN THE HAIR.--lt
has been ascertained, by a writer in
one ofthe London magazine", that so
far from its being true that oil and po-
matum increase the lustre Of the hair,
their effect is to diminish that polish
which it naturally possesses; while,
whatever gloss they may give to the
hair, which is naturally dull, is false,
and like other fasitics, disgusting.
Absolute cleanliness, by means of WA
ter alone, to commence, followed by
brushing in the direction of the hair it
self, in Il dry state, is the true method
of which it is susceptible; and it is the
effect of oils of all kinds to disturb or
injure this, to say nothing of the dis
gust and necessary dirtiness Of greasy
hair. 1t is the effect of oils also, 10
prevent it from curling; and this object
it most effectually attained, if without
artificial means, by curling it when
wet, and suffering it to dry in that
state. And as it happens that almost
all hair has tendency to curl in one
direction rather than another, it is use.
ful to'study that tendency, so as to con-
form to it in the artificial hexure given.
