Fundamental Elements or Agriculture.

LIST. All land on which clover or
the. grasses arc grown must either
have lime ON it naturally or it must
be artificially supplied. 1t matters
little whether it be supplied in the
form of stone lime, oyster shelf lime
or mari.
I'd. All permanent improy emcnts of
lands must look to lime as its basis.
s I'd. Lands which have long been in
culture will be benefited by applica-
ton in the form of bone dust, guano,
native phosphate of line, composts of
fish, ashes or in oyster shell lime or
mari, if the land needs lining also.
4th. No lands can be preserved in
high state of fertility, unless clover
and che grasses arc cultivated in the
course Of rotation. --s-st.s
9TH. Mould is Indispensable in every
soil, and healthy supply can, alone
be preserved through the cultivation
of clover and the grasses, the turning
in of green crops, or by the appIica-
ton OF coInpOsts rich in the elements
of mould.
9Th. All highly concentrated ami
NAL manures are increased in value,
and their benefit prolonged by the
admlxturc of plaster or pulverized
charcoal.
7th. Deep blowing and sub-soiling
greatly improve the productive pow
ers of a variety of soil that is not wet.
9Th. All wet land should be drained.
9th. All grain crops should be har-
vested several days before the grain is
thoroughly ripe.
10Th. Clover, as well as other grass
es intended for hay, should be mown
when in bloom.
18th. Sandy lands can be most eff
fectually improved by clay. If such
lands require lining it is best done by
a compost Of lime and clay. In slack
ing lime salt brine is better than
| water.
18th. The chOpping or grinding of
| grain to be fed to stock effects a saw
ing of at least twenty-five per cent.
18th. The draining of wet lands
adds to their value by making them
produce more and better crops, by
producing them earlier and by i'm
| VIZ VI tllC
hood.
Nth. 10 manure or lime wet lands
is to throw manure, lime and labor
away.
10Th. Shallow blowing operate 10
impoverish the soil, while decreasing
production.
10th. by stabling and shedding
stock during the winter, a saving OF
one-fourth or the food is effected
That is, One-f0urth less food is re.
quired than if they were exposed tC
the inclemcncy of the weather.
| 18th. A bushel Of plaster per acre
sown broadcast over clover, will ado
from 20 to 100 per cent to its produce
| 18th. The periodical application O.
ashes unlcached, tends to keep up thu
integrity of the soils, by applying
most il not all the organic sub
stances.
10Th. Thorough preparation of lane
is absolutely necessary TO the success
full and luXuriant growth of crops.
10th. Abundant crops cannot b,
grown Oh the same land in succession
unless fcr.ilizing matter is returned
to it in equivalent proportions to thost
substances taken away.

Smoky Chimneys.

1t is a well known fact that the
chimney flues of the upper floors of
houses seldom have a good draft. Be-
ing one of those who, On account of
the enormous rents in this city, arc
compelled to Give HIGH" or, to use a
Yorkism, in the top of the house," i,
or rather my better half has been af-
ilicted for the last two years with one
of the above domestic pests. / rem
edied the evil as follows:
| went to stove store and procur-
ed four lengths of five inch pipe, with
an elbow on one end, and cap raised
about three inches from, and attached
to, the other, and had the several
joints riveted together. Then | went
to the top of the house Ind lowered
the pipe down the flue until the end
with the elbow came opposite the
hole in the flue where the stovepipe
from the Kitchen entered it; then in
serted that pipe in the elbow, making
6 continuous pipe from the stove
through the tlue, and projecting two
feet above the top of the chimney to
hold it in position.
The result was that smouldering
fire in the stove immediately sprang
into intense life and heat, and in a
very few minutes the stove was red
hot. The whole expense of the job
was two dollars.
The philosophy of the matter is
this: In So short iluc the products
of combustion do not remain in il
sufficiently long to heat il to degree
to rarely the air aud give it an upward
tendency. But the iron pipe, being
thin, is quickly heated, and the cir is
thereby rareiied and asccuds, causing
rapid current through the crate to
supply lis placc.--COr. SCI. dine.

AS may be supposed, Mrs. Allison
was highly indignant at what she
deemed the treachery Of their daugb-

that it would be better to pass it off
as if no engagement had existed be-

physician. She could not bear for

But how Jared it with the doctor !?
Totally unconscious that the two
girls had met the evening before, at
an early hour in the morning he called

ton of amusing her with history of

servant answered, making a motion
to shut the door.
The truth flashed on the doctors
