Yentilation--Night Air.

In q late work on ventilation by Mr.
Leeds, some valuable hints are given about
drafts. fresh air. and kindred subjects
Mr.. Leeds attacks the theory that might
air" is unwholesome. by showing that the
atmosphere is more free from certain i'm
Purities at night THAI at any other time
and explains the excessive mortality Of
children by showing that in badly ysntiIa-
ted rooms the foul air falls to the floor
This also explains the necessity for open
fire. places but ne furthermore shows that
when fresh air on entering is cooler than
the temperature of a room in which the at
mosphere is made impure by burning lamps
or gas, an opening near the floor will not
answer the purpose for health full ventila-
ton. In such events the opening should
be at the top OF the room. In regard to
heating rooms, Mr. Leeds remarks that, as
the suns rays do not directly heat the air,
but the earth, the air becoming heated by
contact with the earth, therefore an open
fire is more wholesome than any other
means of artificial heating, because it more
nearly initiates the action of the sun, and
heats the atmosphere by radiation. Par
tioular stress is laid upon these two points,
which it would be we'll for all housekeep-
ere to remember. namely, that temperature
has nothing to do with the purity or i'm
purity of the air. and that small room,
with quick ventilation, is better than q
Il. : Il /
sluggish. The value OF atmospheric mois-
ture is also treated in very clear and con-
else manner.

To Poison Rabbits.

HOrliculiuralsts and gardeners are often
very much annoyed by the doPredations
committed BY rabbits. We have stopped
hoi-s, set traps, hunted them By moonlight
all 10 no purpose. Finally We adopted the
following plan which has proven entirely
successful
Take sweet potaloe (along one is best)
and cut one end square off. Split this end
to the depth Of half an inch. in slices one
eighth Of an inch lhick-make another set
Of similar iucisions, across the first AID
at right angles to them; then I'll up all

leayiug about one inch Of the poisoned part
out Place it where the rabbits eat the
vegetable. or where they bark apple trees
or shrubs Of any kind. They will eat the
Potatoe in preference to any other kind Of
food. and it will be certain death to them
We have pursued this plan many years
with great success. We have found them
dead in the garden in the morning, but
more commonly they make for the woods
and there die.-Sontle1n CuItiUat0r

SINGULAR Freak Of Nature.

The Leroy (New York; Gazette is =
sponsble for rather tough" description
Of remarkable specimen of horse flesh
owned by Seneca Scott. of that place. The
Gazette says
''The horse walks on his fore legs and
keeps his hind ones constantly in play. as
if he were actually using them also for 10
comotion. One Of his fore legs is shaped
just like horses hind leg, aud has per-
fectly symmetrical gsmbril joint, just like
any horses hind leg. Strange to say, with
this leg he does his kicking, and acc ne
plishes his hostility with as much grace
and accomplishment as any man of his pre-
tensions and breeding. His physical struc-
ture otherwise is not out Of keeping with
other horses. But the chief oddly of this
singular horse remains to be described
He has on the end Of his nose-or more
properly on his upper lip-a handsome, fell
and fashionable musiache, which curls out
ward with flourish equal to that of the
most finished broadway exquisite. Mr..
Scott asks three thousand dollars for the
horse.''

w ell Put.

Isaac Kinly writes very suggastvely for
the Noathw estern Farmer. He supposes
one to have a farm of eighty acres worth
$50 an acre. Interest on this amount, to-
gether with the cost Of team aad tools, with
the wear and tare, would give an annual
outlay of $3.50. Now suppose be SO cult
Yates his land as to get SO bushels of corn,
Is Of wheat. 2 of oats, SO of potatoes, and
J tuns of hay Der acre, he will have, at
present prices, a total OF SI,112, or net
sum of $782 for his labor, provided be
does his own work.
This will not leave much for old age or
wet day. But suppOsing that We have
forty acre farm, the outlay will be but s2O5
a year instead of $3.50, because the amount
in the land is but Sc, 1000 instead of $4 900.
Then suppose he so cnltiyates and fertilizes
his forty acres as to produce 100 bushels
corn, 80 Of wheat, so Of oats. 400 of pota-
toes and q tons of hay per acre, he will
have a total of 80, 235, or a net balance of
So. $50 against the $3.50 on the eighty acre
too-much-to-do-and-balf-doing-it method.
This gives him handsome surplus income
to lay by to be spent for solid comfort,
Besides this, the small but rich farmer
leaves extra room in his ueighborhood for
one more farmer like himself, and thus,
while he trebles his own profit, he doubles
the social aud educational advantages Of
the locality.

Economics in Agriculture.

Ia treating of the application of economic
principles to agriculture, Mr.. Chadwick, Of
England, says that the refuse now thrown
away in London would feed no less than
218. O0O sows annually. In 1852 he pre-
pared and presented to Parliament a plan
for applying liquid manure equal to heavy
thunder shower could be thrown upon any
sort Of culture at the cost Of only Is. or 25
centa an application per acre, and the result
would be double production. Added to
the general waste Of town manures there
is, he says, a general waste IAN increasing
number of model farms sxcepted) of all the
liquid farm yard mRnures, from their aPPli-
cation in defective methods. This general
waste of farm yard manurss has been esti-
mated by good agrioulturalists as equiva-
lent in itself to another rental of the
land.
On drainage Mr.. Chadwick says that the
principles Of subsoil drainage have been de-
moBstratsd in practice for more than &
quarter of a century; and he says that be
knows that such drainage repays itself in
from four to ten years and yet Of all the
land requiring drainage, not more Than one
fifteenth part has yet been drained. Five
years may now be taken as the average Pc
riod of repayment for proper land drainage
works. That is equivalent to 90 per cent.
on the Investment. Sound drainage ought
to be pointed out as a great field of most
