Suel Foster writes the Countrp
Gentleman that. il each farmer had
a two horse railway power, it would
be better economy to thresh grain
in Winter rs the straw was needed
for use, than thresh in the field with
the larger machines.

Mr.. Wilson, Of Monkton, w., in
the spring of 1868, sowed rather
more than six and 4 quarter acres
with opium poppy seed. The yield
was six hundred and forty pounds,
which he sold to druggists and
physicians in New England at prices
ranging from So to $40 per pound.
The opium furnished 6.25 per cent
Of morphine. The best Turkey
opium is capable Of yielding from
nine TO fourteen per cent.

An Indiana man has effected
strategical combination against the
potato bugs. He planted 4 grain
Of corn in each hill Of potatoes.
The corn came up before the pota-
toes, which, Of course, cheated the
little pests into the belief that it
was cornlield, and they never
went near the potatoes unit! 1t was
too late to do them any damage.
His crop of the esculent is, there
fore, the envy of his neighbors.

refusing to credit, losing nothing on bad

happens that a certain author and critic
has occasion, on a boiling day in sum-

lawyer pleading and sweltering in q
crowded court, sees that the lawyer is
suffering dreadfnlly from the heat, pit
les him, rejoices that be himself is not q
lawyer, aud goes for a cool saunter I'M
der the sheltering trees Of q fashionable
park and garden. Among the, ice-eat-

younger of our two sisters, and for the
moment he thinks he ia speaking to the
elder. "Oh, Mr.. i----s' answered. the
lady, show dreadfully hot 1t is here I"
@Yes, Madame" replies our luckless
critic, 1T IL hot here !; but can assure
YOU the heat of this place isn't cir

FARMING.-For a man who Is thor
oughly in earnest farming offers grand
field for effort but the man who is only
half in earnest, who thinks that costly
barns, imported stock and nicely roll
ed lawn are the great objects of attain
ment, may accomplish pretty results,
but they win be small ones. So the dill
etante farmer, who has a smattering of
science, whose head is filed with nos
trums, who thinks his salts will do it all,
who doses his crops now TO feebleness
and now to an unnatural exuberance,
who dawdles over his lamentations
while his neighbours oxen are breaking
into his rye field, who has no managing
capacity, no breadth of vision, who sends
two men to accomplish the work of one
Jet such q man give up all hope of
making farming . lucrative pursuit.
But IL a man, as we said, be thoroughly
in earnest, if he have the sagacity TO see
all over the farm, to systematize his
labor, 10 carry out his plans Punctually
and thoroughly he is not above econ
omies, nor needless to the teachings of
science, nor unobservant of progress
elsewhere, nor neglectful Of such OPP
portunities as were the Yale Agricul-
tural Lecture-let him work, for he will
have his reward. But even such an one
will never come to his t'four IN ha0d,
except they be colts of his own raising
or to private concerts in his own
grounds, except what the birds make

"WHAT Know ABouT FARAnNe'-
AFTER GREELEY.-Turnips should new
err be pulled; it Injuries them. 1t is
better 70 send a boy up and let him
shake the tree s- 'st' &. ----.-
The guano is fine bird, but great
care Is necessary in rearing it. It should
not be imported earlier than June or
later than September. In the winter 1t
should be kept ina warm place, where
Ii can hatch out its young.
1t is evident that we are to have a
backward season for grain. Therefore,
II will be we'll for the farmer to begin
setting out his cornstalks, and planting
his buckwheat cakes in July, instead of
August.
Concerning the pumpkin-This berry
Is a favorite with alternatives of the in
terror of New England, who prefer 1t
to the gooseberry for the making of fruit
cake, and who likewise give it the pref
erence over the raspberry for feeding
cows, as being more filling and as fully
satisfying. The pumpkin is the most
esculent of the orange family that will
thrivein the north, except the gourd and
one or two varieties OF the squash
But the custom of planting it in the
front yard with the shrubbery is fast
going out of vogue, for it is now gener'
ally conceded that the pumpkin, as
shade tree, is a failure.
Now, as the warm weather approach
es, and the ganders begin to spawn
and so on.-AGrk IicGin. S.y4
