Poor Implements.

Poor implements and poor farming generally
90 together | never have yet seen well cu-
tivated farm, on which the implements used,
were, to say TIE least, of a Respectable charac-
ter. If not the very last improved" they
were good, strong and well adapted 10 the pur-
pose for WHICH they were intended, though
perhaps, involving a greater outlay OF time
and labor in their use, than others
There is no more foolish economy than that
practiced by many farmers OF going into the
field with poor implements. BY this term |
DO not mean those simply, which are rot IN
proper condition for work 4 half worn out
tool is almost worse than none, and can never
be used to advantage, when a better and more
complete one can be had. Let Us Illustrate
What ecOnomy can there be in using plow,
the point of which is SO completely worn off,
that it is not only adding TO the lahors OF the
plowman to keep it steady in the ground, but
it is, also almost doubling the lebor of the
horses. Triiing as the difference between
sharp and dull plow point may seem to the
careless observer, a moments cain reflection
will convince us that the economy Of the dali
point is purchased at the expense Of five times
its cost The horses cannot do the same amount
of work, the plowmau being wearied fails to
accomplish bis full task, while last aud not
least. the work itself is not as we'll done. Now
put that ald that together, ye penny-wise
economists, and see on which side of the cues
tou you should place yourself.
What economy can there be in the use ct
harrow, the teeth Of which are worn off,
None that we can see. The Blunt teeth defeat
the very idea Of narrowing and the couse-
Quence is, that two or three Larrowiugs are
required with the dull toothed harrow, where
PERHAPS a single one would have answered, had
it been in order Pat that aud that together,
friends, and determine for yourselves.
What economy is there in the use Of a now
ing machine with the knives in bad order and
the nuts loose and the journals lacking oil p
The most wretched economy we should say
What are the results Of going to the field with
mower in such condition First, bad work,
second, little of it, third iagged-down horses,
fourth. worn ont drivers, fifth, q machine at
the end Of the season, literally worn out CT
pulled to pieces Put that and that together,
friends and then determine whce is the wiser
plan to 60 to the field with your mower il
first rate order, or 10 the condition of which
We have spoken.
The true economy Of farming in this day, is

DESTRUCTION OF SMALL BIaDsCAUsING ALARM

DESTRUCTION OF SMALL. BI2DsCAUsING ALARN
For several seasons, and particularly the
last. there was found TO be & scarcity Of bread
stuffs in France. This state Of things caused
great alarm, aud memorials were presented
from some of the departments to the Munster
of Agriculture, the Legislative Chamber, and
the Emperor. An elaborate report has been
made on the subject, in which she destruction
of small birds is charged with being ono OF the
leading causes Of deficient crops. The destruc-
ton of small birds has gone on increasing, aud
in corresponding ratio has proceeded the IN
crease Of those Insects aud reptiles which prey
on the crops Of grain and all kinds OF Tegeta'
BILE food aud o. these insect tribes the small
birds live. 70 that degree Of alarm has the
public mind been brought, that inquiry and IN
Ygstigation have been Instituted, aud have also
demonstrated the fact that the destruction Of
the beautiful s0ngsteJs may, if coutinu q, l5ad
to something Ike positive famine. This doc
umeut has been translated and IS being cIIcC-
lated in E1gl-ud, 20 aid in arrestiDg The wanton
destruction of birds ia that country. 1t was
the subject of paper recently read before the
Natural History Society Of ReIgate, FROM
which we cat tie toawing
Although the sparrows levy small con.
tributi0n Of the farmers grain, yet the far
greater portion of their food is from injurious
insects, and the whole of the food they give to
their young, is from the tribe Of insects. At
the beginning of the world man would have
succumbed in tie unequal struggle if God had
not given him in the bird powerful auxiliary

plishcs the task which man is incapable Of per

FIELD BRANsWIrH CoRN One Of the crops
used to fill out corn when it grows scantily,
or las failed in hills or spots, is the white bush
bean. There is wisdom in the selection The
legumiuous aud cereal crops are considered so
essentially dissimilar 10 their drafts upon the
soil, that they are adapted TO follow each
other 10 any rotation. So far as we are aware,
experience has not yet djscoVered that corn
suffers essentially, if at all, Ior having large
crop Of beans grown at the same time upon
the soil. A heavier draft is, OF course made
upon the soil if a large crop be taken of. 1t
is a common practice in some communities, to
drop few beans on the south side of every
corn bill having less than three stalks. An.
onther method is the following The corn be.
ing in hills equally distant, in rows running
both ways, at the second hoeiug, after ploging
or running the weeder both ways, plant beans
between the hills in rows running one way
Others plant similarly at the same time the
corn is planted.
Beans planted by themselves are a very
profitable crop not eXhaustiDg the soil, aud
an admirable food for sheep. They uniformly
bring a reuunaratiye price. aud are sometimes
very high and 10 great demand. They do best
on good corn land, not richly manaTed, in rows
