The best Farm Team.

Considerable discussion has been had
in regard to the comparative merits of
horses and oxen for farm work. Such
discussions have resulted in establishing
few maxims, which may be safety re-
lied upon as a guide to those who are in
teFested They are lhese:- fs.H
Oxen are good and so are horses; but
u7uch depends upon circumstances as to
their profitable use. In certain cases,
each is best.
It's Improbable to keep horses simply
for riding. when they are obliged TO re-
main idle much of the time and keep
oxen for doing the work of the farm.
On a new or rough farm. oxen are the
best team: ona small and easily worked
farm. horses are the best
If a farm is situated that much of The
hauling is done at long distances, such
as caring hay dressing or wood. horses
can be used with more profit than oxen.
If the size of the farW renders it ex-
pedient for the farmer TO keeptwo teams.
one horse team and an OK team is better
than two of eitLer horses or oxen.
1t pays well to feed and take good care
of team, be it of horses or of oxen.
A team kept IN good condition will eat
less than one kept poor, at the same time
performing more work and being better

The Seven Cities Of Asia.

The following is an account of the
present condition of the Seven CltIes,
showing how accurately the threalenings
in Revelation have been accomplished:
Ayasialook, the modern village that
stands on the site OF ancieut EJhesus, is
a miserable collection of novels, having
neither place nor name among the I'M
portant towns Of Asa Minor. The sate
of the cities of tho seven churches have
been peculiarly melancholy. Smyrn
has risen In modern times to be an i'm
portant seaport town, aud has, indeed,
throughout the last eighteen centuries,
and perhaps it might be said for twenty
five hundred years preserved q certain
importance in the Eastern world. Per-
gamos and ThyaIira are small inland
cities of no importance ln the world +; and
although inhabited by people who go to
make up the number of the Sullan's sub
jeCt and pay his taxes, are never heard
of in modern history, scarcely indeed in
modern travel. Laodicea Is wild waste
of rum, inhabited only by the wolf, the
stork, and the valture. Phlad alpha,
like Pergamos. is a filthy Turkish town,
noted in modern times aud It's immediate
neighborhood for the total absence of
brotheIly love, and The frequent occur
renee OF brawls and blOodshed. Sardis
lies buried on the banks of the golden
Pactnlus. In moonlight night the two
lonesome columns of the temple of Cybele
stand ghosliy on the plain, sole relics of
the ancient idolatry; but of the few that
remained faithful, with unstained gar
ments, in Sardls, there remains no mem
orial on earth, save only that ever-pres-
ent promise, by virtue of which they
shall walk in white robes:

BnckWheat and Turnips.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says: "One of my neighbors
has Just drawn my attention to an exper-
iment he made the past season with buck
wheat, and Of which experiment | com
municale the result. as given in his own
words. On pirce of soil sowed in rut-
abagas, the drills being twenty-four inch
es apart, he Sowed. after wedding and
transplanllng, IN ln'ermedlate lines of
huckwheat, and covered them by hand
aud with a common hoe. H bestowed
no after cultivation, and gathered at har-
vest, at the rate of forty bushels 10 the
acre of as fine and persectly developed
grain as | have ever seen and without
any apparent injury to the turnip crop,
which was equally Iuxurlant and produc-
ave as that grown hy itself on an adjoin-
ing half acre of similar SOIL" Such ex-
perimenls are valuable, as tending TO de-
velop The actual capacities of the soil
when subjected 10 new demands under
new systems of culture. "

After the disgraceful flight of the
