FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
ECONOMY OF LONG BURROWS.


A German agricultural journal observes
that farmers usually pay little attention
to the length of the burrows to be plowed
in field. and yet great waste Of time
and labor is the necessary consequence
of unsuitable arrangements in this re.
spect The turning of the plow and the
commencing of a new furrow requires
more exertion in the plowman and the
team than continued work on straigb
line, and how great may really be the
loss of time from frequent Interruptions
in short turns, may be shown by the
following calculations In field 225
feet long, 81 hours out Of 10 are spent in
redirecting the plow, with a length of
575 feet, hours are sufficient for the
purpose, and when the plow can proceed
without interruption for 500 feet, only
II hours of the daily working time are
consumed. Hence the rule to make the
burrows as long as circumstances will
admit

Harvesting Corn.

Colonel Harris say s, in the last mum
Der of the Agriculturist Il believe
corn will yet be harvested as we harvest
wheat-cut with reaper, bound into
bundles Of a convenient size for pitching,
and then thrashed or husked by big
machine driven 10y ten horses or a steam
engine. it must be powerful enough to
take in bundle at time, strip off the
ears and husk them, and the stalks as
they pass through can be cut up and
elevated oy straw carrier. | believe
in less than ten years we shall see hun
dreds of such machines travelling from
farm to farm, as ihreshing machines now
do, and we shall wonder how we ever
got along without them"

IT is generally considered that the
principle of rotation in crops is modern
discovery, and yet nature has worked in
this way from the commencement. Proofs
of this are seen in the vegetable remains
of rocks and coal beds, aud even now we
zee the same principle at work whenever
we cut down a pine woods, which if al
lowed to grow in timber again is replac-
ed with deciduous trees, as oaks, beeches,
naples, etc, while beech Or maple or
oak wood cut off will be replaced with
pines. Here is undoubtedly rotation of
crops, and we merely follow nature when
we adopt the principle in our agricuItur-
al operations

The Campaign Prospect.

The New York Sun says Of campaign
prospects: I'VE will state the case
anew. The number of electoral votes
necessary to choose President is l84.
The old slave States give 1888. The elec-
ton in Georgia tends to show that there
is a possibility that all those States, with
the exception of South Carolina. which
seems to belong to Grants man Moses,
may, under certain contingencies, go for
Greeley in November. Leaving South
carolina off the list, those States woud
give him 13l votes, which is only So
short of the number required to elect
him. Assuming for the purposes of
This calculation that Greeley will obtain
these l3l Southern votes, where in the
North can he get the other So? New
York counts 35. Indiana Is, Nevada 3,
amounting TO the precise number re-
luired. Beside these there are New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey.
Wisconsin, California and Oregon TO
draw Upon. A fair look at the situation
will satisfy candid man that the old
-tdage that there is no knowing who " i'll
bc Governor until after the election still
holds true. No cautious man will Jump
100 suddenly TO conclusions in regard to
the whole Union from the basis of
few preliminary elections"

SIEGE FOOD In PARIS.
A Return to the War Diet.

A writer in the London TELEGRAPH
remarks that there are people in Paris
who grew SO much accustomed to strange
food during the siege that their stom-
achs still cry for the irregular MENUS
Of that period. TO suit such abnormal
Iappctites "game-shop' Of the most
peculiar kind has lately been opened in
the French capital. 1t is situated i'm
street near the Halles, and it bears the
inscription ''au Gourmet ans prejuges.'
The "epicure without prejudices" can
find in this daring establishment "all
that there is Of the most audacious" in
the way of siege food. The hooks Of its
facade are hung with badgers, weasels,
wildcats, foxes, owls, jays, roOks,crows,
bulls, magpies and fat little puppy dogs.
The harmless, necessary cat" figures
largely on the counter, but they do not
call it cat;" the dead grimalkin ia
known as GIBER DEs GOUTTIEREs or

rats and mice, and he whose experience
in carnivcrous exploration has left him

But eccentricity has limits, and dccency
its laws; and we wait with some curl

even in Paris, sufficient number of
'epicures without prejudices" to make
fortune for the proprietor of this old
poultcrer's establishment.
