Il. perhaps occurred TO but few
farmers to employ the rowing hcrtis

Select spot adjoining and outside
fence, and enclose il well on the three
remaining sides. Haul leaves from
the woods, muck from ponds or
swanps, or any thing that willrot into
q good manure in ten or twelve
months, and spread over this lot three
or four inches deep. II there are not
several trees in this lot, make shelters
FOR shades by placing poles upon
forks, putting floor of rails across
these poles, and cover thickly with
pine tags. Er close large pieces of
ground alum salt in bexes having u
hole in their tops large enough for
cattle to get their tongues in convc-
niently. Place these boxes firmly
upon posts about over the lot. Make
a gap in the outside fence, that every
body's cattle that come along may
walk in. AS soon rs they find ont
the salt, this lot will become a grand
congregating place for all the cattle
of the vicinity, perfect camp-ground
of the bovine species They will
make the shelters their resting place,
bs day and by night. and will con-
tinue to come so long as the supply
of salt (Which must be added occ.-
sionally.) holds out. OF course they

of owning. at least, one lot that hss

Great Earthquake i'm China.

Minister Lowe furnishes the State
Department at Washington with a
brief account Ofa series sOfearthquak-
es which prevailed for several days
at Bathang, in the province of
Sczhuen, China. About the last of
April there was sudden and unac-
countable rise Of waters i'm the dis
trict Of Bathaus, which continued un-
til the 11th, when the country for
nearly four hundred miles around
was convulsed by earthquakes. The
shocks were very severe, and cOntin-
ued, with intermissions, for ten days,
when they became less frequent, and
finally ceased. The scenes which
ensued were horrible beyond d
cription. During this time the a
rocked and reelnd like a ship a .a
in violent storm. Eight temples
were thrown down, 2,421 dwellings
were destroyed, and 2,29S persons
crushed by the falling walls. To
add to these accumulated horrors
flames broke out among the ruins in
Bathang and ragged with uncontrolla-
BILE fury during five days, consuming
everything within their reach, and
destroying the lives of hundreds who
were lying wounded and helpless
among the ruins of their homes.
Steep hills sunk out of sight, and in
their places naught is seen but yawn-
ing CULTS, while in other places the
earth upheaved leaving hills many
feet in height. Many singular phenO-
mena attended this earthquake, the
full particulars of which will be anx-
iOusly watched for.

Small Farms.

We have repeatedly advocated the
dividing up of the extensive farms
that were profitable under our former
system of labor, but now are actually
valuless TO their owners; and tho
following, among other arguments,
may be urged for its adoption:
Small farms make near neighbors
they make good roads, they make
plenty of good schools and churches
there is more money made in proper
lion TO the labor; less labor is wanted
everything is kept neat; SIS wages
have to be paid for help; less time is
wasted; more is raised 10 the acre,
because it is TILED better; tn, re is
no watching of hired men; the mind
is not kept in a worry, a stew, fret
all the time. There is not so much
lear of drought, of wet weather, of
frost, of small prices. There is
not so much money 10 bc paid out for
agricultural implements. Our wives
and children have time to read, to
improve their minds. a small horse
is soon .curried-and the work on
a small farm is always pushed for
ward in season. Give US smaIl farms
for comfort; aye, and give us small
farms for proiit.-IcRReSsee >lgri-

Hardly anv practice on the farm, is
more TO be deprecated than plowipg
or stirring the soil in the spring when
wet. This is one of the small opera
tions, affecting oftimes a whole crop,
and lasting injuriously through
whole season. Unless in sandy
soil, any stirring or moving by spade,
nlow or harrow, when wet, tends to
compress and compact its particles,
when the object is or ought to be, to
pulvGrizc and make mellow. Good
tillage is manure;" and stirring of
wet soil is only allowable in a brick
yard. No implement that we know
OF, is capable OF again opening
Jumps of ear h TO atmospheric action
and influences, after they have ol9ce
closed up, by compression, and be-
come externally hardened. Any one
can observe this, by moulding lump
of damp Garth in their hand, whel.
it becomes the cOnsistence of putty
When exposed TO the air, il becomes
nearly as hard as stone.

japanese House.

The Japanese have habits of living
about as unlike ours as the inhabi-
tants of the moon, if that satellite has
any living beings. Here is sketch of
a Japanese house:

which is then cut up by partitions,
which are nothing more than sliding
screens that close up into each other
i'll fashion that admits of one apart
ment being divided into dozen dis
tinct ones instantly. There are no
chimneys attached to the houses, and
they contain no beds, chairs, or ta-
bles.
The floors are covered with Sc.

Repairs On The Farm.

The Journal of Agriculture has the
following article on subject to
:, hich attention would be NOR. fire.
qucntly directed, for IL is one OF di-,
rect practical interest 10 every farmer
affecting his reputation and his pock-
iet. III a man will let his fences
remain tumbled down, his barn
doors loose or hanging Oh one hinge,
his stable diiapida:ed, his tool house
al disordcrcd, his implements out of
repair and scattered everywhere, he
must not be surprised or offended, if
with all these unmistakablc cviden-
ccs Of laZiness and want of manage
mcnt before them, his neighbOrs, ard
all who pass that way, give him tho
name OF being indolent and care
,ess.
These ordinarily cost more than
most farmers would be willing to ad-
nit, and in many cases three time.
as much as they need 10, for the rca-
son that the time is stopped and a
hand sent to mechanic, several
miles away, to get some little job
done that any farmer of ordinary
ingenuity could do in half the time
the messenger is gone to the mechan-
les, il he had a few tools and liz
tie of the proper kind of material.
The thrifty farmer will ALWAYS lay
aside pieces Of timber of different
kinds, TO be used tor repairs. These
he often finds in his woodpile, aud
he lays them up where he could get
them or send boy for them at any
time. lie will also have 4 box of
screws of different sizes. with good
screw driver and several gimlets.
That first and last of all carpenters
tools for the farmer, the drawing
knife, will be at hand ; also a box OF
bolts, with nuts and washers to
match a brace, and Il good set of au-
ger bits, from thrce-eig ghths To seven
eighths, and three augcrs, ono inch
and a half and two inch. These,
with &c hand saw. make very rr~pect-
able kit for farmer, and if lac has
| any skill at all in using them. he will
sometimes save much more than the
cost of them in few months. Let
any farmer, who has bee. accustom-
ed to run TO the shop for every little
repair, supply himself with such
things as we have named, and do his
own repairing, and he will be agree
ably surprised at the difference in his
mechanics bills.
Then there are the harnesses. Ii
the farmer uses several OF them
he can save several dollars in tho
course of year b, having oil hand
several avis, a shoe knife, ball of
shoe thread, and ball of wax, all of
which will cost less than n dollar,
and will last several years.
