Ode TO the Elgin Watch.
By A LADY.

o, have you heard the story
The Western papers tell.
How quickly Elgin Watches
When made. began to sell?
How every man who buys one,
Is fully satisfied,
Though every other kind Of watch
Before them he had tried
He always had bsen troubled.
Because he could not know
The time up to a minute
Twas either fast OF slow.
But when he bought an "Elsin."
Ho always was just right,
It varied not moment
For months, by day or night.
Now every good conductor
Upon q railroad train,
Thinks he can't do Without one,
And business men the eame.

The Coffee Supply.

The landslide on the line of the San
Paulo Railroad bids fair to produce a
temporary interruption of the shipment
of coffee from Brazil. About 200, 600
bags per month, being more than half
of the coffee exported from Brazil, was
transported by means of the San Paulo
Railroad to the port of Santos. Until
the proper repairs can be made in the
railroad, the only means of conveying
coffee to the sea side will be by IL long
and tedious process. It must first be
carried on the back Of mules by devil
ons paths along the base of the s,icrras
do Mar to Juiz da Fora, distance Of
over one hundred miles. At this place
it can he taken in vehicles along the
high road to Mana, where it may he
taken in barges to Rio de Janciro. Ii
the delay in repairing the railroad
should be four months, as estimated,
the amount of coffee transmitted to
Rio tie Janeiro by the route above de-
scrbed may prove most inadequate
substitute for the 800, 900 bags which,
would ordinarily be shipped for ex-
portation.

first saw these birds in Virginia,
though, on account of their coming out
only ut dusk, it is not at all easy to get
sight Of one besides which, thew are
exceedingly shy birds. For several
evenings had observed whistle to
proceed from precisely the same place
at the same time. It was on or near a
low fence which separated the garden
where was from a road running along
the edge Of a field so Ltook my station
close by and waited. By-and-by the
lona. clear whistle, "Whippoorwill,'
Whippoorwill," Whippoorwi" re-
peated many times, faster than you can
pronounce the words, told me that the
bird was on the other side of the fence.
Soon the note was heard upon the
fence, and then to my delight close
came the bird, whistling, as soon as it
settled on the path. loud and shrlll,
quite unconscious that IN intrud-
or was sitting near. The next
minute what should see but his
dear little mate, whom he had thus
been calling, come and g. tile by his
side. Then his whlstling changed into
soft little happy cooling and twitter-
ing as he hoped to and fro, dancing to
his lady-love. Never were birds so
p.oud and happy. They futtered their
wings, and kissed each other, aud whis
pered together, and had so much to
talk about, that it was quite evident
they were agreeing to make their nest
together. But by this time it was
growing too dark to distinguish them.
and as tried to move a little nearer.
they both flew off to the roof of the
house, and there the clear whistle rang
out louder than ever. They were the
funniest little birds, with heads that
seemed nearly half as big as the body,
which looked absurdly small between
it and the broad out-spread, fan-like
tail. They belong to family Of birds
called goat-suckcrs. They are also
called night jars, from the notes the,
utter at night; and another name fo1
them is the night swallow, because the,
feed on insects as they fly. They have
large mouths, which they keep ope1

ably raised in Michigan. Its culture
has not been entered into in this State
to any considerable extent. and in the
minds of many farmers it is not settled
whether it will pay or not. In this con
nection "Flax Grower " writes from
Sandusky county, Ohio, to Cleveland
exchange that it will pay to raise flax
seed. He goes on:
Your subscriber sowed ten acres on
fair ground the last Of April, and har-
vested the last of July. The ground
was plowed about four inches deep,
narrowed once, then leveled with q
plank leveier, narrowed again length
wise of the furrow, sowing directly over
the harrow las it should be sowed even
ly,) then brushed in with good brush,
or light horro,O would do, If the teeth
are close together.
Flax should be cut when ripe, as both
seed and fibre are worth more when
fully matured.
It should be harvested either with q
cradle or a reaper, and bound in small
bundles and put up in double rows,
with about two dozen in each bunch.
When thoroughly cured it should be
thrashed or put into barn till winter,
when seed generally brings the highest
price. Seed should be we'll cleaned
On tair ground the yield of seed will be
from ten to twelve bushels per acre, ant
and from six to ten hundred pounds O
straw.
Flax straw is worth from six to tel
dollars per ton. Flax before wheat
leaves the ground in excellent condition

The seventh Year Rainy Season.
Mr.. J. E. Hickok, of Whitesville,
Missouri, writes as follows to the Farm
Journal. We give it for what it is
worth:
Would it not be we'll to dlaw your
readers attention to this year, 1872, as
being the regular septennial rainy sea-
son? Being forewarned il being for
earned" In 1858 T was farming in
Illinois. We had some forty acres of
corn that We could not cultivate in at
all. In 1865 I cultivated in the mud.
No matter how many wet seasons inter.
vene, I think We may surely prepare
for abundance of rain every seven years.
Let our farmers strive to get their corn
ground ready for the seed early, and
plant while fresh, before the weeds
have started. Then, perhaps, one good
cultivation can be given the crop,
which ON new lands at least, will give
fair yield. The great secret of rails

pie (any season) lies in getting the
young plant started ahead of the weeds
when it is comparatively easy to cult
