Farming.

Those who h,ve strictly investigated the
subject consider large farms less productive
than small ones; while they at the same time
impose upon their owners degree of labor
much greater N proportion than would seem
to be required by the nero difference in size.
The cause j. is thought, lies altogether in the
difference Of management. A farmer in mod
crate circumstances with fifty or sixty acres
of land, for instance, will bring every inch OF
it into cultivation; and the labor employed in
preparing bis ground will be more than doub-
ly compensated in his subsequent exemption
from toll; while the owner of a wild spread
territory OF three or four hundred acres, which
he has but sparingy supp lied with nourish'
ment, must work more sedulously upon every
acre during the progress Of vegetation; and,
after all, reap but meagre and inadequate
arvcst. AS single acre of land, highly
cultivated, can be male to yied a crop equal
TO three or four acres scan,ly pre- cpared, II
must be obvious that the extra labor in dress
ING the former is atundlnily more than saw.

From the American Agriculturiss.
4 Short Sermon on Stables

The recent Improvements in American
architecture have not reached the stable, 10
the extent that could be desired. Brown
stone fronts, high ceilings, marble mautel
pieces, costly furnances for warming and VEN
ti,ating the dwelling, may please the eye and
promote the health and comfort Of the accu-
pants, while the valuable horses Of the pro-
prietor are suffering from poorly constituted
and poorly ventilated stable.
The fault often lies in two directions The
stable may be too tight, or too open. A horse
needs light, as well as air and suitable warmth
and food-the vegetable structure hardly
needs light more than he does. Pure siri
essential. His blood can not become pur.
fed while the air which initiates his lungs is
full of foul gases from fermentng msnurss.-
Nor is it enough to keep the STALE clean, if
they are so tight that the horse Is obliged to
breath his own breath over and over again
Digestion is intcrfered with, and all the fuuc-
tions OF life are impeded Lazy grooms de-
clare that close, warm stable, helps to make
horses coat ine and glossy III Writer as
well rs in Summer But in Winter, such a
coat is not to be desired. Nature provides
the animal with longer hair and more of it,
to defend him from the cold. If the horse
ia well groomed and blanketed, his hair will
be smooth and glossy enough all the year
round. The inloleut groom ought himself
to be shut pp for twenty four hours in the hot
steaming air in which le confines his masters
horse, and see how he would like it. Open
the doors OF such a stable in the morning
where several horses are kept, and the hot air
and the heartshorn are almost sufficient to
knock man down. What wonder, then,
that horses so used, should suffer from iniam-
cd eyes, cough, glanders and other ailmen:s!
The wonder is that they bear the abuse so
long and so WELL
Now, the "impropsment" TO our sermon
ia simply this: rentila.e the stable. Venti-
late, both in Winter and Summer. The out
er air should be brought in at certain places
near the floor, but not in the immediate neigh
borhood of the horse, 80 as to cause hurtful
drafts Of Wind Immediately upon him. I'm.
pure air must be ojected, as well ss pure air
brought in. This eau be in Summer very
we'll by leaving several windows open in diff
erent parts of the barns. But a better way
is to insert yentiIators in the highest parts Of
the building, into which veniducts, square
wooden tubes,) shall lead from the stalls, and
which can be opened or closed at pleasure.
These yentilators should be covered with n
cap, to prevent downward currents aud the
heating in Of rain. BY this plan, the foul air
is carried off directly from the stall without
mixing with the hay in the loft.

Let me nestle down here by your side, darling,
And well talk of the long ago;
Ere the castles we built in air. darling,
Had melted like April snow;
On waves from the seas of life, darling,
Had come with their foam and spray
Blanchng the rose from my cheek, darling,
And threading my tresses with gray
'Tis just twenty years, to-day, darling,
Since pretty Maud Allen and
Wore the wreaths and the bridal robes, dlrling,
Not an eye in the church was dry:
NV forehead was wreathed with pearls, you
know,
But my veil of earthly lace
Through its shining folds too plain revealed
The rallor that blanched my face.
The pearls were only the buds that grew
On the briar rose, under the hill,
For no rich mans Golfers oped TO her
Its stores at her every will:
The castle was only wee bit home
With forest boughs locking above,
But she found in hers, what in mine was not,
a treasury, rich in love-
Ipsssed from that church to a irindly home,
The wife Of millionaire
But spectre sat at the rumptuous board
Aye, haunted me every where:
And Ia give my home with its wealth untold
Aye all that claim TO day:
For the love that blesses Maud Aliens life,
For the jewel | threw away.
Like bird from the wild wood land, darling,
To a cage, SO mine became,
But the fettcrs are we'll secured, darling,
And pinion me, just the same:
Undo the glittering chains darling,
These Earrings SO bright, so cold;
You may take them ell for your pains, darling,

The GrumbleT.


Reader, did you ever see Mr.. Grumbler2
Do | understand you to say no? If you
have not where have you been all your life
What paths have YOU travelled that!you have
not come in contact with him? l have seen
him frequently, almost every day. l have
met him some where, and it is not wonderful
that should, for he is connected with every
thing that has to do with society. should
be pleased if | could relate to you positively
where first saw him. think it was in the
teacher who taught in our village several
winters, and things went badly with him all
the time he spent with us, for he grumbled
nearly every hour have known most of
him as a member of our church for he has
been with US several years, and Jhe trial Of
our faith, is Of Importance, he has done us
great good, for we have all been tried by his
grumbling for the ten years that he has been
member Of our church. He grumbles every.
where and about every thing. He gumbles
at covenant meeting-church meetlngs-in
the Sunday school-in the payer meetings;
and here ought to remark is the most inter-
esiug field for Bro. Glumbler's labors, and
where he displays his gifts in their greatest
perfection, but like the rest OF mankind, he
has not always succeeded in that which he
has undertaken to perform. For instance he
has tried to get our prayer meeting just the
right length; but after years Of labor he has
to confess himself foiled in his intended ef
fots. Our last prayer meeting was strlk-
ing illustration OF how much he has done
without apparent benefit. Brother A. pray
ed two seconds longer than brother GrumbIer,
thou ght he ought. Sister G. spoke four min
utes anl a quarter, being just quarter of a
minute longer than brother Grumbler was
sways tapght tina, people should speak. -
Brother b. made grand mistake, the meet.
ing should have been closed precisely at 9
o'clock, and he kept US l6 seconds past O.
This was moe than brother Grumbler could
endure. In chriStdiR Indignation he arose
to his feet, buGoned his at, ~ grumJled
something about leaving but the cougrcga.
ton thought i: would be hardly such treat
ment AS Brother should have, although he had
mad a mistake, therefore thoy remained
seated an Brother Grumbler seated himself
also. 0 the trials Of this mani He wished
to reform ani lead society and tho church,
and they will not be reformed and led BY
i. him. What the dear man can do to make
; himself comfortable, | do not know. Ii Is
suggested by some that it would greatly
benefit him to attend strictly 10 his oWn con
c,rnS for little while, aud let the church
get along as well as they can with
out him. This suggestion is worth trial.
AS it is easy ofapplicatiou, think commun
ity should urge Brother Grumber to take The
hint, and if possible sweeten his temper, an
become better citizen, aud die happier
mau than be now seems to be.
