PROFITS OF FARMING.-At a discus
sion at the New York Farmers Club, in
reference to the cash money profits Of
farming, it seemed to be generally conceded
that the business failed to yield seven per
cent. on the capital invested. We were
somewhat surprised that none of the de-
baters thought of giving the farm credit
for the three great necessaries of life
house rent, table supplies and fuel. View
ed in this light, farming is the safest and
best investment that can be made o.
capital.
Take for instance, $4,000; let it be
iudiclously invested in moderate amount
of land and all the stock and implements
necessary to its successful cultivation
The proceeds from such an investment viii
support family in degree of comfort
and even luxury, that would cost six OF
seven thousand year here in New York
and where is the safe, honorable mercan-
tile or mechanical pursuit that will yield
six thousand a year ON a twenty thousand
dollar investment ? The profits of farm
ing, except in rare instances, will be found
to diminish as we extend our operations
beyond what is requisite for the comfort
able support of a family, and this may be
done as we'll on three hundred as thous-
and acres of land; and this is strong
argument for the subdivision of the great
landed estates of the South.-Iu1J, F1el0
and Farm.

Poor PoTAToEs MADE PALATABLE.-
Half the people who eat potatoes to- day
will find them cutting like piece Of bar
soap, and not much more agreeable to the
taste. The fault, according to a lady
writer in the Household, is not in the
tubers, but in the cook. She says she
never has any but dry, mealy potatoes on
her table, and this is her modus operandi
of preparation.
eff old, I pare them and let them
remain in cold water several hours. When
time to cook I put them in kettle Of
boiling water, salt as brine" When thew
are boiled sufficiently, I turn off the water
and set the kettle on the fire till the steam
has all dried out. Prepared in this way,
old potatoes are delicious and wholesome.
New potatoes need not be pared, nor need
they remain in cold water. Wash them
thoroughly, and if there are anv rough
places cut them of. 1 place them in
boiling sailed water, and when done
always pour the water off and place them
over the fire again.

CHEAP SUPERPHoSPHATES.- There is
no doubt that under the present system OF
farming, the lands of this country are be-
coming gradually exhausted. Every sue
cessive year brings smaller crops, because
it diminishes the fertility of the soil. Only
small portion of what is taken from the
ground in the shape of grain AID fruit and
grasses is restored in the shape of man.
ures.
Dairy and grazing districts are partial
exceptions; but even in them more manure
is wasted than saved, while in gardening
or grain growing it is utterly impossible
to make as much natural manure as is
required to keep the soil in its primitive
fertility.
To supply this deficiency it has beer
found necessary to resort to artificial
manures.
These fertilizers are prepared in various
ways and are Of as various merits. Some
Of them are nearly worthless, except to the
manufacturer, who often succeeds in palm
ing off cheap and spurious article for a
time, and thus making his fortune.
Such impositions have aroused suspicious
against commercial manures of all kinds,
and have thus tended to check their use.
This result is certainly to be regretted
Although the dairy-man or the grazier
can, as a general thing, safely trust to his
compost heap and animal manure, arti6-
cial fertilizers are indisF ensable to garden
ers, and directly or indirectly, to grain.

FrrprNs PouLTRY.-Onlons are said
70 no admirable food for fowls, or rather
an adjunct to the ordinary food. If gwen
regularly, it is said they will prevent the
attacks of the more ordinary diseases OF
Meat is said by authorities to be an
essential food for poultry, especially in the
winter, when they cannot get the worms
they pick up in summer. Others, again,
maintain that the habit of giving meat to
poultry is productive of grave evils-the
cause of many of the worst forms of disease
which effects them. By these authorities
it is called an unnatural food, inasmuch as
the digestive organs of the birds are not
fitted to assimilate them. There must, we
think, be some mistake in all of this for
we know of surety that fowls do eat
when they can get it, and entirely OF their
own accord, an enormous quantity OF ami
NAL food here it is not cooked the game
found in natures garden is raw. Ii mea,
is an unnatural food for poultry, they GER
tainly have most unnatural appetite for
it. Throw in one lump of meat amongst
lot of fowls if not literally bone Of
contention, it is something vastly like it.
so eager are all to get grab at it. We
believe the habit of giving much food in
short space of time to poultry is very
bad one. If you notice their habits you
will perceive that the process of picking
up their food under the ordinary, or what
we may call the natural condition, is a
very slow one. Grain by grain does the
meal get taken, and with the aggregate
no small amount of sand, small pebbles.
and the like, all of which passing into the
crop, assists digestion greatly. But II
the hem mode of feeding poultry, q
great heap is thrown down, and the birds
allowed to "peg away" at such rate
that their crop is filled far too rapidly
and the process of assimilation is slow
painful and incomplete. No wonder thai
so many cases of choked craw are me-
with under this reatment.-Mark Lam

THE CATTLE DIsEAsE.-At the Farm
ers' Convention at Manchester, n. H., a
letter was read from Governor Stearns, in
which he referred to the cattle disease
which has appeared at the eastern part of
New Hampshire, and said if the conven-
ton shall be of opinion that any official
action is necessary on the part of the
State to prevent the spread of the disease,
he would adopt the measures as may be
lawful and proper to aid in the matter
Subsequently Prof. Law spoke of the cat
tie disease, and said 1t was introduced into
this country by cattle which were import
ed from England. 1t is contagious,
though the germs Of the disease are not
carried to any great distance upon the air.
1t is rarely fatal. The disease adheres to
the floors Of barns, in all material SUBJ
stances which have been in contact with
the animals, and it is Of great Importance
that diseased cattle should be kept insolat-
ed from the healthy. The Professor said
the beef of diseased cattle is not injurious,
or an unhealthy diet, and as proof of his
position he cited the healthy condition of
the French and German armies, who are
now feeding upon cattle, many of which
were diseased.
