How TO MAKE BARN-Y ARD.-The
best way, in my opinion, to form a
barn-yard for the preservation of ma
nure, without its becoming muddy,
where the ground is higher than some
of its surrounding parts" is to plough
and scrapc from the centre to the out
side, making gradual descent from
the outside to the centre. Let the fall
be one-half foot in ten, and falling a
little more as you near the centre.
Dig drain from the centre to some
suitable place without the yard, where
you can construct a vat to put in
leaves, sods, muck, ETC., that will alb
sorb and retain the liquid from the
yard. The bottom and sides may be
formed of plank, or may be more sub
stantially built of stone and mortar.
The top of the vat should be made SO
to guard against rains and surface
water as much as possible. The drain
should fall considerably, and should
be made of plank eight inches high
and one foot wide inside. The head
of the drain should be covered over
with good strong iron CRATE. The
yard ought to be well paved with cob
lie stone, and, with little pains you
can always have dry yard. The
water from the barn and sheds should
never be allowed to run into the yard,
- but should be carried by good cave.
trougls to cistern for the purpose of
watering stock.-Rural New Yorker.

"A LITTLE FARM WELL TILED"

Washington, in letter to Arthur
Young, said: "The agriculture OF
this country is indeed low and the
primary cause of it is--that instead OF
improving q little land reii, we at.
tempt too much and do it III. A half
or third, or even fourth of what we
mangle, well wrought and properly
dressed, would produce more than the
whole, under our system Of manage
ment."
The remarks of Washington are net
inapplicable to the present system of
Western farming, according to which,
the size of the farm being q pri-
mary object, nature is thought to
have done so much in the premises,
the cultivator has little else to care
for further than to put in his crop and
then sit down at his ease to watch its
growth.
But the truth Of the matter is, that
a farm may be too large for successful
cultivation, as well in the West where
apparently so little is to be done, as
in the east, where such oncrous and
continued toll is requisite, to ensure
respectable crops.
1t is the opinion of the best practi-
cal farmers and scientific men who
have given their attention to agricul-
ture, Nature may not only be so pro-
life as to require stimulation, but re-
dundant of resource as to demand
amelioration and this is practically
true of the West, where proper treat
ment of our rank soil, on the unerring
principles of Agricultural Chemistry,
would unqucstionably result in crops
of more excellent and durable quail
ty, and "little farm well titled" pay
better in the long run than the half
cultivated sections that annually yield
their immense, but uncertain and Of
ten inferior products RepOrter.

E. NJ. WELLS GREAT WESTERN
Vegetable Anti-BiliOus Pills,

For the cure of all bilious diseases, impuri
ties of blood, indigestion, liver complaint, sick
headache, fevcrs, colds. jaundice, dyspepsia, fe-
male complaints and a general cathartic.
In the treatment of bilious fever, jaundice
and all other diseases of the alimentary canal
or general health, which is caused by an aiiec-
ton of the liver portal circle, these pills are
invaluable.
For iaundicc take one or two pills every
night. Should there be loss of appetite, or
general debility or languor, use the bitters un-
til these symptoms are removed
These pills may be taken in all cases where
an apcrient Alternative OF Cathartic is required.
Dyspepsia and liver complaint. with all their
attendant evils, can positively be cured by a
with the bitters When cough exists in con-
nection with any disease for which these pills
are recommended, take the Pectoral Syrup OF
Wild Cherry prepared by the proprietor, and
the patient will be thoroughly and radically
cured. These pills being of vegetable origin,
no injurious effects will be produced under any
circumstances by their use. Adults or chill
dren can take them constantly when required.
The dose for child three or four years old,
| from one to two pills; and for children eight
or nine years old, from two to three pills at
bedtime.
Females will find these pills very mild and
uniform in their operations, and the very med
icinc needed by Il large class of females.
Let all remember that the Great Western
Pills are designed expressly for use in bilious
climates, and are far better than those put up
in the east, where little is known in regard to
the peculiar diseases of the climate.

mutton and a grade of which he has
never seen the equal.
The "Iowa sheep are one-half New
Oxiordshire (England), one-fou;th Me-

prolific breed imported from China by
