"A newly imported "help," after be-
ing established in Fifth Avenue palace
as maid of all work, was seen shortly after
with a pail full of Stops from the kitchen
carefully exploring the parlors, the draw
ing room, the library, the boudoir, the
music room, and other places, as if in
search of something which she could not
find. At last, meeting the lady of the
house she inquired, seriously, "if you

BEGINNING with field which has been lying
In grass or clover two or more years, ana is now
destined for series of grain crops; II IS proKen
up late in Autumn or during Winter, and cuiti-
ysted in corn the next Summer. The corn Is
gathered, and the field left unoccupied until the
next Spring, when it Is sown In oats. Upon the
ost-stubble wheat is sown, and at the same time,
or early the next Spring, the land is seeded with
grass or clover, or more frequently with Doth
timothy and clover. Il is then allowed to re-
main under this mixed grass crop tor TWO or
three years-the field being mown or grazed, as
the convenience of the cultivator may demand.
Corn then comes inegain to take Its place 10
the series; then oats; whe6t and grass Id tne
order above given. VIII he farmer is sum
ciently liberal In the improvement OF his isnds'
he leaves the greater part of at least one oum,
mer's growth of cloYer and grass, to Do turned
down for corn.
Where the oat culture has been discarded, q
somewhat different system is pursued. Oorn Is
planted upon deeply turned sod, and cultivat-
ed with shallow tillage, 30 as to avoid tearing
up the sod to any great extent. Wheat ls tnen
sown upon the corn stubble, without yet dls-
turbine the inverted turf When this crop has
been removed, the land is broken up with two
or three-horse plows-bringing to the surlace
the we'll rotted vegetable mould, into which the
clover and grass, previously turned down tor
the corn crop, have been converted: Upon this
q second crop of wheat is sown, and is regarded
as more reliable than the one which Immediately
succeeds the corn. With this second sowing OF
wheat either in Fall or Spring, the land is set IN
grass and clover, and allowed to lie two or three
Years. before the same rotation of grains isagaln
introduced.
On grazing farms, some of the best grass lands
are kept for pasture, year after year, tor con-
siderable period. The expediency of this plan
is at least doubtful. We shall have word or
two on this subject in connection with STOCK
raising. D. l.. OAAPBELL'

ToAps AND THEIE SKINs.--Mr. Editor: In
short article in the Farmer about toads it says
"He rolls up his old coat in pile, and swallows
it,"
Now, as haveiseen him pull off his coat and
pants, and friend has seen another do the same
thing, in precisely the same way, it may be in
teresting to others to know the process.
About the middle of July, found toad on
a hill of melons, and, not wanting him to leave
hoed around him. He appeared sluggish and
not inclined to move. Presently, observed him
pressing his elbows against his sides, rubbing
downwards. lie appeared so singular, that
watched to see what he was up to. After few
smart rubs, his skin began to burst open straight
along his back. Now, said /, old fellow, you
have doneit; but he appeared to be unconoern-
ea, and kept on rubbing until he had worked
down al his skin into folds on his sides and
hips; then grasping one hind leg with his hands,
he hauled off one leg of his pants the same any
body would, then stripped the other leg in the
same way. He then took his cast off cuticle
forward, between his forelegs into his mouth
and swallowed it; then, by raising and lowering
his head, swallowing as his head came down, he
stripped off the skin underneath until it came to
his forelegs, and then grasping one of these with
the opposite hand, by considerable pulling strip
ped off the skin; changing hands, he stripped
the other and by a slight motion of the head, he
drew it from the throat and swallowed the
whole. The operation seemed to be an agree
able one, and occupied but short time-M.
E. Farmer.
