Always cultivate with your eyes turn

ought to be the first rule for farmer,
for, without conveniences to sell your
products at fair prices, and to get your
manures easily and cheap, farming viii
not pay well, if it pays at all.
Rise early in the morning. and
have your eyes on everything. A good
start is worth many an hour of labor
through the day.
Be your own overseer and foreman.
You are no longer an independent man
as soon as there is an indispensable in
dividaal upon your farm. Be ready to
part with the best, and to take his
place. That will do away with exac-
tons aud impertinence.
Be kind, just, and fair, in dealing
with your hands but keep up youl
hedges In other words, don't lei
others interfere with your authority.
Let order be the farms first law.
Disorder and neglect are very expen-
sive.
Have your cattle gently treated; you
will save many valuable animal, and
prevent many a sad accident.
Take care of all the tools, and have
the best ones, they are the cheapest
after all
Don neglect good advice, but dc
not accept 1t readily from everyone
and, chiefly, do not consult your helps
you are sure to spoil them. Keep W
your authority, anyhow.

SupposlnS you are growing 25 bush
els OF sheiled corn per acre. You can,
by applying more manure, with thor
ough cultivation, get 80 bushels of
corn. This might be increased to rs
or a 100 bushels per acre. What is
there to preventl You can easily test
this. Select small piece of land in
your corn-tield pillow it a few inches
deeper than heretofore; manure the
ground thoroughly, at the rate of
twenty cords per acre; plant good seed,
then keep out every weed and the re-
suit will astound you. Gardeners un-
derstand this principle, and they pillow
nearly two feet deep and apply thirty
cords per acre, besides using large
quantities of commercial manures.
For any garden crops the surface of the
ground two inches deep should be one
fourth manure. In this way, by keep
ing the ground moist, lettuce can be
grown that is tender, large and nice;
and so of other crops.
The fact is We cultivate too much
land. Says one, II have so much land
and | must cultivate it all What
would you have me do with it: give it
away?' Better give it away than to
half cultivate it. Let it grow up to
wood or use it for pasturage Sell it.
Perhaps that would be the best plan;
take the money and improve the rest
of the farm. A farmer has 100 acres in
his farm, and he keeps as much stock
and cuts as much hay and raises as
much produce as the farmer who has
200 acres. Which, therefore, is the
best farm-the smallest or the largest {!
think you will see at glance that the
smallest farm is the best. / don't say
but what the larger farm can be made
as productive as the smaller, acre for
acre, but this is not often the case.
One man from an acre Of Strawberries
will get from $500 to 200; while an
other man Will work over large farm
and get only this amount. Use brains,
these if rightly applied will give large
crops from small amount of land.

Mr.. DARWIN gathers some curious
facts regarding musical insects. Oh
cadas can be heard a mile The female
is mute, as was observed long ago by
the Greeks, one of whose poets sang,
somewhat wickedly: "Happy the CT
cades lives, since they all have voice
less wives. The sound is made by
vibration at the lips of the spiracles or
air passages, and made resonant by two
scale-covered cavities. The Chinese
keep these creatures in cages for their
song, which must be an excellent ac
compartment to the toni tom. In
many insects sound is produced by
rubbing one wing against the other at
points which are adapted with Sierra
tons for the purpose. In grasshop-
pers the leg is armed with row of ex-
ceedingly minute lancet-shaped teeth,
with whom it scrapes the wing. cover,

but has large one for good butter.
then the Alderney will come as near
the standard as any we have. For rich
ness of milk, they have no equal, but
their diminutive size puts beef entirely
out of the question; but there is no
race Of cattle that can surpass them in
producing golden Jumps of butter, and
lenty of them.
A good butter maker, with a herd of
Attorneys, will produce clancy
brand of butter that will command a
ready sale, at double the price that can
be obtained for common brands. Good
specimens of this stock will make from
II to ii pounds OF butter per week, of
peculiar yellow color, notattained by
any other race. Some extra good cows
have produced from 1S to 20 pounds
per week; but this stock is deficient in
beef qualities. We earnestly recon-
mend the use of thoroughbred bull on
all dairy farms, whether it should be
an Ayrshire, Devon, Attorney, or a
Shorthorn, depends very much on
whether the dairyman wishes to turn
off some fat COWS every year to the
Dutcner, or Wnetner lie INTENDS TO keep
his cows till they are used up, and then
sell them for about what they are
worth for their hides If he adopt.
the latter course, we should recommend
the use of an Alderney or Ayrshire
rather than the Shorthorn bull. In all
seasons dairy farmers are apt to have
an unnecessarily large per centage of
barren cows, owing to the irrational
management Of the male animal. In
some districts it is the fashion to use
yearling bulls; while to make matters
worse, these weakly, immature sub
iects, are scandalously overworked.
