PecuHarities of the Nfississippi.

A late scientific paper, in discussing the
peculiarities of the Mississippi river and
the country upon its borders, maintains
this theory:
The width and depth of the river from
Cairo and Memphis to New Orleans is not
materially increased, vet immense addi-
tions are made to the quantity of water in
the channel by large streams from both
the eastern and western sides of the Mis-
sissippi. The question naturally arises,
what becomes of this vast added volume
of water? 1t certainly never reaches New
| Orleans, and as certainly does not evspo-
rate, and of course it is not confined to
the channel of the river. for it would rise
far above the entire region south of us. If
well is sunk anywhere in the Arkansas
bottom, water is found as soon as the wa
ter-level of the Mississippi is reached
When the Mississippi goes down the water
sinks accordingly in the well. The owner
of a saw-mill, some twenty miles from the
Mississippi, IN Arkansas, dug well to
supply the boilers of his engine during the
late flood. When the water receded his
well was dry. He dug ditch to an ada
cent lake to let the water into his we'll:
the lake was drained, and the well was
dry again; having literally drank ten acres
of water in less than a week. The infer
ence is, that the whole valley of the Mis-.
sissippi from its banks to the highlands
on either side, rests on a porous substra-
tum, which absorbs the redundant waters,
and thus prevents that degree of accumu.
lation which would long since have swep,
New Orlevns into the Gulf but for this
provision of nature

What Constitutes a Good Farmer.

II the Disposer of human events. should
permit this world to stand "a thousand
years longer, the time will surely come
when every man who tills the earth will
be compelled to be a good farmer or starrs
10 death. This Is a strong expression, but
as true a it is strong. Old fogyism may
continue to denounce those who labor to
improve the agriculture of the South :;
but the time will come when their poster
ity will see their stupid folly, and be forced
to improve the soil which their ancestors
butchered. The day has already come
with England, France, Germany and Ire
land, where agriculturists are compelled
from true necessity to study their profess
sion, and improve their systems of farm
ing economy, to an extent limited only by
their power to do so. If they were to
pursue the course that the planters of the
South are now pursuing, III less than twen-
ty years they would either starve to death,
or be forced to leave their own, their ma
| tive land"
But the question arises, what is good
farmer?" There is much diversity of
| opinion on this question. Sometimes the
men who run over the most land per
| hand, and drag out of the soil the most
money. regardless of the wear and tear OF
land, and team and force, are called good
| farmers-yea. the best farmers. But is
that true? ! admit it not To do SC
would be equivalent to admitting that the
doctor who made the most money, regard
less of the lives he destroyed, was the best
| doctor. The one would be about as true
As the other-both are utterly false.
| good farmer" according to the bes
and most intelligent agriculturists of the
South, is the man who improves his land
and the appearance of his place, improves
his stock and takes care of his force
And think this definition of the term i
correct. No man. however intelligent OF
other subjects, no matte how much mo
ney he may be making for The time being
should be considered good farmer" il

Pig Breeding.

An experienced English pig breeder
says: In breeding, the sow should be
larger than the male and the male the
most perfect of the two. as the sows will
generally breed to the boar; that is, the
good or bad points of the male will pre-
ponderate more in the young ones than
those Of the sow. And ! have found that
the boar by which the sow may have had
pigs before, has great deal to do with the
following litter. ! once put black sow
to white boar, and had some black and
white pigs; | then put her to a black
boar and still had some black and white
and had to wait three litters before get
ting rid of the white. once purchased a
large bred Yorkshire boar. and more than
ninety per cent. of his stock died from in
| ilammation of the lungs, or were more OF
less affected. afterwards learned thai
! the sire of the boar died from the same
| complaint. All this convinced me how
particular one should be in using a pur,
and sound male animal. ."-Geuesee Farmer
