How TO RenOyate an Exhausted Farm.


The Maine farmer. gives the fol-
lowing statement Of how a Down
easter renovated and built up a run
down farm BY force of circum-
stances he found himself in posses
zion of a naturally good but ter
rib!y skinned" farm. The hay had
been sold year after year, and IN
consequence but little stock had
been kept, and as there was no
manure, no hoed crops OF any
amount had been raised. 1t cut
the first season he went on to it,
lust FIVE loads of hay, against from
twenty to thirty tons when In Its
best condition years previous. For
tunately, he took possession OF 1t IN
the spring; but unfortunately he
had but little stock and no money
He commenced turning under the
old sod, and to use his own words
There is great manurial value IN
old grass roots, a truth which more
farmers ought to find out by actual
trial. He broke from three to five
acres per year of the worn mowine
! field SO exhausted they would hard
ly pay for the going over with {
!, scythe. The course was to breal
. up, SOW oats for fodder, seed down
. NOW one year, and then so ovel
the same rotation. In the course
> of u few years the land had by thi'
4 system got in so good heart as t.
+ bear keeping up two and three
!, years.
4 BY sowing oats i'll this way 10:
y fodder, he was enabled to keel
! some stock the first winter, witt
the aid of the small amount of ha,
cut, some roots and corn. Togethe
+ with this plan Of proceeding
J one of the first operations was t.
j purchase two COWS, and engage il
breeding swine. He hauled muc.
: into the b~arn-yards and hog yards
" kept pigs at work; and beside
. selling some pork, and making
!. enough for the wants of his owI
family, and the first fall a very lib
! eral quantity Of superior manur
. with which to top-dress a field tina
10 had apparently been cropped les
y than the other. The next haydn
season this field yielded u very goo

'e BY this course a good start wa
- obtained, and in years Immediate
~ following that upon which he too

and as his means of feeding IL

EFFECTS OF MINING CREAM.-That

mixing does not produce butter al
the same time, with the same
amount of churning, has lately been
nicely illustrated in the family d

They had a Jersey heller in good
flow of milk, and an old COW, a
stripper; their cream worked to,
gether. 1t was observed they did
not make butter enough for the
bulk of cream. The buttermilk
also looked rich and made about
five pounds. They churned' again
for u few minutes and found from
two to three pounds more of butter
in the COMMISSIONING that the
heifer's cream had made butter first,
and that the cream of the old COW
needed several minutes more churn-
ing.

How TO NEUTRALIzE THE EFFECT
OF PoIsoN.-lf a person swallows
a poison, instead of breaking out
into multitudinous and incoherent
ordinations, dispatch some one for
q doctor; meanwhile run to the
kitchen, get a. half glass of water in
anything hat is handy, put it into a
teaspoon of salt and as much ground
mustard, stir it an instant, catch a
firm hodl of the persons nose, the
mouth will soon fly open, then
down with the mixture, and then in
a second or two up will come the
poison. This will answer in a
larger number of cases than any
other. If by this time the physi-
clan has not arrived, make the pa
tient swallow the white of an egg,
followed by a cup of strong coffee
because these nullify q large mum
Der of poisons than any other Access
sible ARTICLE, as antidotes for any
poison remaining in the stomach.
