FACTS FOR PooR FARMERs-" Those farm
ers who have most difficulty to make ends
meet, always plough most aud keep most stock.
Now these men take the true plan to keep
themselves always poor and bring little" So
writes John Johnston, in letter to the secre-
tary of our state society and be thus illus
trates his statement I" 1t is a good profit to
raise three hundred bushels of wheat from
ten acres, but when it takes thirty acres to
raise that amount it is raised at loss. So it
is with cattle and Sheep-you will see the
thinking farmer making four year old steers
worth from sixty to eighty dollars each, and
his neighbor'S at the same age not worth over
twenty-five TO forty dollars" His advice to
the latter is, "if his land is exhausted he
should plough no more than he can thorough.
ly manure. Seed with clover and grass and
let it rest and that field will not only pay
well for tillage, but it will furnish manure IF
rightly managed) to make another field Of the
same size rich also" And then keep it rich
do not run it with grain until again exhausted
or the latter end Of that land will be worse
than the first Country Gentleman.

A QUEER MIsTAKE.-One of the ridiculous
mistakes which will sometimes befal soldiers,
befell whole file of the snugly attired mill

reception. They were drawn up along the
street in front of a building in course of con-
struetion and close in their rear was long
mortar bed, two feet deep with that plastic
composition, ready for the woTkmen The
space between the files, for the passage of the
carriages, being rather narrow, the officer Or
dered his men to take step back They did
so, and about twenty feet of sogers "instan-
taneously disappeared from sight backwards,
the front filei close order preventing the rear
rank from recovering themselves when their
heels stumbled against the mortar bed They
were submerged, and every soldier Of them
had his pretty uniform spoiled They took
caps, and absquatulated instanter.
