FARMERS WORK TOO MUCH.-So says
a correspondent in that staunch agri-
cultural journal, the Neac EngLand Far
naer. He gives these among other rea-
SONS: at is said that more than one
fourth of the lunatics of the country are
farmers and merchants; and among the
reasons assigned for crazy farmers are,
too much work and too little recreation.
Now, what is the remedy for this deplor-
able state of things? For my own part,
I was slow to believe the above state
ment as applicable to US here in New
England, notwithstanding our farmers
are supposed to be the hardest-working
agriculturists of any in the country.
But know of many who work too hard
for theirreal interests. though their keen
Yankee sense seems bright and sharp as
ever. The motto of these men is, Bet
ter to wear out than rust out So it is;
but what need of doing either? There
is no real virtue il too much work. On
the contrary, is it not sill for one to
tax unduly the strength and energy of a
body so fearfully and wonderfully made?"

MANAGEMENT OF MEADOW LAND.-N.
Platt, OF Bedford County, Pennsylvania,
writing to the Farmers Club, New York,
ON the management of meadows, says:
II have meadow now which has been
moved for sixteen successive years, and
it was never better than now. In fact,
my meadows, under the right treatment,
grow better as they grow older. / do it
by returning to meadow all the manure
the hay made that was taken from it,
and sowing bushel of gypsum per acre
each year. In that way the yield of
grass is heavier, and finer, and richer as
the d thickens. l use manure only
for top dressing the meadows in that
way get double price for it. 1t produ-
ces as much worth of grass as it would
in grain, and also reproduces itself
again liz the turf. My turf when ready
for blowing under, is solid body of
grass-roots, twelve inches deep or more,
and so thick on the top that no soil can
be seen. l consider one such turf, when
turned under, equal to 100 tons of first
class barnyard manure per acre.
