The Glory Of tho Farmer.

The benefits conferred upon mankind
by the farmer and the pleasure which at
taches to his vocation are charmingly por-
trayed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, in one
of bis essays as follows;
"The glory of the farmer is that in the
division Of labor, il is his part TO create.
All the trades rest on his primitive author
ity. He stands closer to natures he OBJ
tains from the earth the bread, the meat.
Tke food which was not lac causes to be.
The first farmer was the first man, and all
historic nobility rest on the possession and
use Of land. Men do not like hard work,
but every man has an exceptional respect
for tillage, and the feeling that this is the
original calling Of his race, that he himself
Is only excused from IL 10y some Circum-
stance which made him delegate it for q
time TO other hands. If he had not some
skill which recommends him TO the far
tuyi, some pr0d1cl 20 which tae farmer
will give him corn, he must return 10 his
due place among the planters. And the
procession has In all eyes j,, ancient charm
as standing nearest God, the first cause.

The Renovation Of SoIl..

y correspondent Of the Ancricau FARM
c', writing on this subject, says:
The renovation of our worn out and
tired lands is matter of no little impOr-
tance to farmers in this section of country.
tired down 10y continual cropping, and we
also have lands that may be said TO be
worn out, since they are no longer pro-
ductive. We now want the best and
cheapest plan of renovating these lands,
so as to grow remunerative crops. To do
this we must have our lands charged
with a good supply of vegetable matter
to make the land lively and productive.
This can only he obtained by the turning
under of green crops, and afterward jul
dicious rotation of crops. In doing this
we can only cultivate what lands we can
manure well, or such as have not been
exhausted. So long as We cultivate broad
acres of poor land, we shall have such to
cultivate and none' other. Let us take
the worn lands in the fall; break thor
oughly and subsoil in the spring pillow
again and sow to peas about the first OF
June and harrow them in. Turn under
the peas in September and sow to rye,
and pasture through the winter with
| sheep; the second spring turn under rye
at proper time AMI again SOW to peas
these in turn to be plowed in September
| then in October 10y sowing one bushel Of
wheat and thirty bushels of cotton seed
per acre, and narrowing in well with clio
| yer seed lightly narrowed in the spring
you are ready for a judicious system o
rotation of crops, say cotton, corn, whea
and clover. If lime can be procured a
| reasonable prices it should be used where
| Green crops are turned under.

Dried Dung in FumigatIng Bees.


Rev. l.. L. Langstroth writes to the Bee
. 1uTndJ:
Nearly two thousand years ago Column
ella recommended the died dung of cattle
as the best thing for fumigating bees.
Learning soon after importing she Egyp-
tian bees that the Egyptians made use of
the smoke from this substance in all their
operations upon their irascible bees, we be-
gan to use it largely in our apiary. The
smoke from burning COW dung, while very
penetrating, is not offensive. 1t can be
blown SO as to diflusc itself very quickly
through the hive, and yet it does not seem
TO irrItate the bees, and our own experience
confirms very strong concentrations
Il Col-L -G. Wherever rotten wood is
LOT easily procured, it will be found OF
very great value. When thoroughly dried
it will burn slowly but steadily, and by
slightly dampening the outside after light
ing Il, q piece not longer than the hand
may often be made TO last for several hours.
1t does not always ignite as readily as one
could wish. DR.. +. Parmely has Obviated
this difficulty by dipping one corner in
coal oil. The odor is so little offensive that
il may be use Instead of pastils i'm the sick
room, little sugar being sprinkled upon
il while burning. Those who know how
universally the dung of buffaloes, called
buffalo chips, is used for cooking purposes
on our great plains, will feel no prejudices
against this seemingly uncleanly sub
stance. We shall call it buffalo chips"

Whom 10 Anplr TertilIzer..

Prof. Voelcker, of the English Royal
Agricultural Society, reports as follows on
recent experiments
A considerable percentage of the nitrate
of soda was carried off in the drainage,
when applied as fertilizer. The soil did
not retain the whole of the salt, nor of the
assimilable uitrogene. Being readily dis
solved in the soil, it should not be applied
till late in the spring, according to the eli
mate and season. The sulphate of ammo
MIA stays in the ground better than the nj
trate of soda, and should be sown two
weeks earlier. Potash salts and soluble
phosphates at the same time. All stable
and yard manure is best applied in the fall
or winter. Lime, mari, and gypsum may
be applied in January, February, and
March-the earlier the better.
Mr.. J. Z. Lawes, of England, has plot
of experimental meadow that has had four
teen tons of stable manure every year since
lS43. Plants grown on this surface have
absorbed all the rain-water, so that little or
none has been discharged by under grains.
Similar drains under part of the meadow
not MANFRED "have run freely several
times u year, An acre of long mauured
land holds within Sc inches of the surface
l $40 tons of water; while the same area
and depth of similar ground unmanured
holds only sol tons. These facts show how
largely manuring from 1913 TO 1871 changes
the character and constitution of a soil
An idustrious, reading and scientific farm
er may make his farm what he pleases.

vaccination and ReraeclnatIon.

The following statistics are probably the
most reliable and instructive of any of the
kind ever published, and are well worth
needing. From an official report made on
the subject, it appears that in the army Of
Bavaria revaccination has been compul-
sorry since 1913 and from that time until
1S57-a period of fourteen years, not sin
gle case of unmodified small poX occurred,
nor a single death from the disease. Of
the nearly 10000 revaccinations in the
Prussian army, only about one-third were
perfectly notwithstanding, that Is,
the result of a primary vaccination so
closely as scarcely to be distinguished from
II: and the remaining two-thirds being
moro or less modii or falling entirely.
In connection with these facts, the state
mcnt is also made that the distinguished
English vaccinatoIs-Dr. MarsOn, in 10000
vaccinations: Dr. SveCse, in as many more;
Sir VIM. jenkins, in the cases of $1,000
sick children and adults in London; and
DR.. West, OF the Children's Hospital, as
20 $4,000 childrcn-all concur bT saying
that ;hCy have never seen ANY other dis
ease than that of vaccination commune
eating with the vaccine.

Tennessee Cows DJlngin Georgia.

A "Noung Farmer" of Macon, Ga,
writes to the editor of Hooro'5 Rirdl Nej7
TOricr, ss follows:
1 was about starting dairy, and as good
milCh cows are very scarce and high here,
I had partially made q contract with par
ties in Knoxville, Tenn, TO supply me
with them. l met an old friend of mine
who has been in the butcher business here
for the last twenty-five years, and has
brought hundreds of cattle from Tenncs-
sec to Georgia. / was asking him for some
information in regard to the Tennessee
cows and he told me that he had brought
a good many fine cows to Georgia and that
inc has never had one 20 I've io3gcr th@n
TO the first of June. He has kept them on
fine pastures, and even up in stall, and
given them the best of attention, but could
have no success with them.
If yoa can give me the cause of The
cows dying ana the remedy, if any. you
will oblige me. , am told that if cattle are
moved more than sixty miles North OF
South they will not DO we'll Is it so OF
not ?
The editor replies;
We have known etoc', TO joe removed
from Kentucky to Minnesota land inter-
mediate points and rice CcrSd, and never
knew or heard of such trouble as our cor
respondent describes. Stock has been
taken from New York to Georgia, North
Carolina and Tennessee without such
trouble. The whole matter is entirely new
TO us, anti we have no theory stG0tS IL, even
if the statement relative to Tennessee cat
tie is true.
We think young Hammer must be
mistaken as to the facts.

Snnnl Idens on Farming.

The following views on farming were
thrown out ly Mr.. Greeley in q speech at
Baltimore
l. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits of the capital
and labor employed; or, in other words,
that on Impoverished soils no one should
cultivate more land than lie cali enrich
with manure and fertilizers, be it Que acre
or twenty.
=. That there should be a law compelling
every man to prevent his stock from depre-
dating on his neighbours fields.
3. That green soil is moro econoAical
than loose pasturage.
A. That deep tillagc is essential to good
farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farm
cr's bank, and that everything should be
added to it that will enlarge it and in
crease at the same time, sit fertilizing
properties.
g. That no farmer or planter should de-
pend upon one staple alone, but should
seek to secure himself against serious loss
in bad seasons by diversity of products.

CARE OF CIsTERNS.-WatCrm may be pre-
served pure and wholesome in rainwater
cisterns by letting the supply pipe connect
ut the bottom. The fresh water being
heavier than that already in the cistern,
will force the stale water to the top so that
it can be used before it becomes offensive.
1t is well known, however, that cistern
water becomes impure from the organic
matter it contains, and if this can be got
rid ofby destroying its vitality and precip-
itating it to the bottom, it will leave the
water pure. II is claimed that there is
nothing better to effect this than perman-
ganate ofpotassa, used in the proportion of
about an ounce to fifty gallons of water.
This causes the inorganic matter to sink to
the bottom an innoxious sediment. But
the permanganate must be continued as
long as the water has a purpIish appear
ance, indicating that the offensive matter
has not all been precipitaled. Though this
