Profits Of Farming.

More than once we have alluded to the
benefits resulting from" soiling" in local.
ties where 1t can be readily and proitably
followed, we have give below, In confirm.
alton OF these statements, the following
paragraphs:
Mr.. IL. Sedgewick, of Cornwall, Conn
stated at the Farmers Meeting at Lowell,
Mass that farmers in his neighberhood
were enga ged III producing milk for the
New York market. Referring to the short
feed Ct the tall of 1871, he added:
Our farmers all declare they Will not 90
back to the old way Of feeding stock. We
cut up our straw and everything ayaila
bile. Many Of us have adopted the plan
OF steaming the food for our cattle, and we
are satisfied from the experiments we have
made that we save a third of our proven
der by steaming it. As a sample of what
tins manner of feeding will do, will re .
late an instance OF young man who a
year ago this spring bought a farm of
eighty acres of land for Sil 900. The
farm then kept eleven COWS, four
or five yearliLgs, and horse or TIVE. The
young man took hold of that farm. and
immediately put in fourteen acres of
sowed corn. lie increased the stock to
twenty-five cows, and kept them on twelve
acres, feeding them the sowed corn, and
also cutting his oats green for food. His
receipts the first year were over $4,000.
This year he has summered on the same
farm twenty-seyen cows, and he told me
the other day that his twenty.seven cows
would average him Sle0 each from the
profit on milk.

Prufit. Of Tobacco CULTURE.

A contemporary calls attention to the
fact that with new tobacco ut thirty to
forty cents a pound, numbers of Yankee
tobacco-growe have become rich and
own some of the best farms III New Eng
land" Aud again, with lubilant triumph,
asks, Where, we should Ike to know,
can from $500 to $500 be taken from the
acre every year p The conclusion as
sumed is, that this is profitable farming
But the assumption that any such profit is
really obtained is Il baseless one. The
crop may be gathered from the area of
single acre, but it is made up froIa the fer
tility drawn from many acres. Tobacco
is one of the most exhausting crops to the
land on which it grows. Like all large
lea fed plants, it requires much nitrogen,
and, more than any other known in mod.
ern agriculture, il takes potash from the
| soil. the produce of farm, alter having
| served its purpose as cattle food, is turned
as manure to the barnyard or stable, and
should he returned as fertilizer to the
fields from which ii originally came. In
tobacco culture it is carted to the tobacco
patch, and the remainder of the acreage
may 20 to thin red top or thinner rye 1t
Is no wonder, therefore, that in Western
Connecticut, many Il farmer of from
sixty to one hundred acres, with good

Wake Up the system.

When the physical energies droop and the mind
becomes ethargc, it may be taken for granted that
the digestion is impaired and the liver derelict in
It's duty. Upon the condition OF the stomach and
liver depend the condition of the blood, and upon
the quality of that fluid depends the vigor of the
body and the capacity for brain labor. 1t is there
fore of the utmost importance to men engaged in
active pursuits who are subject to attacks of bodily
weakness and mental stuper or indifference, TO
know from what source they can obtain immediate
and permanent relief. The tonic and anti bilious
stimulating elements combined in Hostetter's
stomach Bters, peculiarly adapt that genial prepa-
ration to cases of this kind. The rapidity with
which it rouses the dormant powers of the muscu-
lar and nervous system, is marvellous. Acting first
upon the digestive organs, and through them upon
the fluids Of the body, the nerves and the brain, it
renovates, refreshes and regulates, not only the
corporal powers, but the mind itself. As debility
and its usual concomitant mental torpOr depres-
sion. are often caused, and where they already eX-
ist are always aggravated by the damp and varia-
bic weather prevalent in the spring months, per-
sons of feeble stamina and weak nerves, should go
through course of this agreeable stimulan at this
season, and indeed would derive great advantage
from taking it at least once a day throughout the
wear,

4 DISagTpeab.e Visitation,

\ Turkish paper gives an account OF
a curious forced emigration which has
recently produced great excitement on
classic ground. On the European
banks of the Hellespont stands the city
of Gallipoii, interesting as the first pos
session of the Turks in'Europe in 1857 /;
and nearly opposite to it is Lamsaki, a
village long renowned for the vineyards
III its neighborhood, and situated near
the site Of the celebrated Lansacus Of
classic times. During the autumn the
authorities Of GallipoIi came to the
conclusion that there were IN that town
as where are they not?-too many
ownerless dogs about; and instead of
issuing death warrants against these
Migrants, they took the extraordinary
course of exporting them to their
opposite neiGhbor across the Helles-
pont, who were already plentifully pro-
vlded with canine treasures. On the
arrival of these 2, 600 immigrants, who
were very unruly on the passage, they
started, in quest OF food it may be sup
posed, to the mountains; but not find
ing anything to suit their palates, re-
turned to the town. Here the tug OF
war commenced. Inc hanlSaklan Ca
mines, on recognizing the situation,
g turned out to dog, and a frightful
conflict, with terrible howlings and
barkings, ensued for four hours. At
the end Of that time the foreign
foe was worsted, and. beating d
retreat, endeavored to allay the pangs
of hunger by eating the grapes, and
thus doing really serious damage. The
people then had TO turn out two hun
bred dogs were killed, and the rest re-
treated, but of course only to return.
The Dieridei Havadis concludes the
account by mildly saying that the Lam
sakians are much Disguised by the &c
centric conduct of the Gallipoli mag
istrates, who ought of course to have
sent their canine emigraIlts to desert
island. But how thankful would Phil
adelphians be If somebody, initiating
the Gallipon magistrates, would but
deport two thousand of the cats which
make night life hideous-to the New
JERSEY shore, say

Breeds of Hogs.

As there are so many farmers express
ing their opinions in regard to the best
breed OF hogs, and as many Ct these come
from persons directly interested in one
breed or another, or are guessed at from
very little actual experience. | propose,
with your permission, to give my expert
ence for the last ten years with the three
most prominent breeds Of hogs, viz :
Chester Whites, Berkshires, and Poland
Chinas. Up to the year 1869 | had bred
Chester Whites, with little sprinkling of
Suffolk, with very poor success. Every
year many of my pigs were troubled with
scurvy and inclined to "scalawag" If a
SOW became poor from sucking pigs, it
was almost impossible 10 fatten her Many
SOW have | sold that brought less than
half as much us the corn would bring that
she had eaten. | should state that 1t has
been my practice for the last ten years to
buy boar every year and raise some
hundred pigs for fattenlng purposes.
In the year 1869 bought iull-blood-
ed Berkshire boar from the stock OF a
well-known breeder of Illinois, and used
him on my Chester White sows. When
my pigs began to come 1 was well pleased,
and, tor the first few months, [ thought |
had hit upon the right thing exactly. My
pigs were all healthy, fat, welliormed'
and active. Soon after this | began 10
discover that they were not growing DIS
fast as my Oh esters had done, and when
finally sold them they were far short of
my old stocs in weight.
In 1870 | bought Poland-Chna boar,
and the pigs from this stock suited me 50
well that | have continued TO use mono
but P0land-C hInas ever since. | lind that
the Poland Chinas will fatten in close
pen, or a ten acre lot, or with stock hogs,
and are at al times quiet and peaceable !;

scurvy, are perfectly healthy, and sell as
readily as any other hog know that at
times Berhshlres bring u little more In
Chicago than some other hogs, but it is
when the light weights are III command).
Breeders of small breeds tell us that
they will attain 200 to 400 pounds weight
quicker. and on less feed, than those Of a
larger breed. This is net SO. The larger
the breed the more rapid the growth; the
more quiet hog the best return he will
make from what he has fed. Why does a
Berkshire have SO much larger quarters,
better legs and longer sneut ban most
other breeds? Because their limbs and
snout are III constant use, and that deyel-
obs muscle and quarters, and makes the
legs strong and firm, and, of course, Il hog
always on the move requires more feed to
get the same growth than quiet one.
If you want a hog for the harness, by
all means get The Berkshire, as they Ger
tainly have the most action, and the best
lungs of any hogs in existence. They can
run faster and further, jump higher and
eat quicker and do more fighting in the
same length of tme, than any hog | ever
owned.
am well aware that the Berkshire is
at this time fashionable breed of hogs,
but from all can learn, those who think
so much OF the Berkshires have never
owned a Poland. China. Correspondence

The Laughing Plant.

Palgrave's work on Central and East
ern Arabia furnishes something new
for botanists. A plant Is described,
under the name of Laughing plant, y
the seeds of which produce effects
very much like laughing gas. 1t grows
only in Arabia, attaining a height of
only about six inches at kaseem, while
at Oman IL rises to three or four feet,
with wide spreading branches, being
woody and the leaves green It's flow
ers, in tufts, are yellow. Two or three
black seeds, much like French beans in
size and shape, are produced III soft
woolly kind of a capsule They have
a sweetish taste, with slight flavor of
opium, The odor from them is rather
offensive, producing a sickening sensa-
ton. The essential property of this
extraordinary plant is in the seed,
which, pulverized and administered
cautiously, soon begins to operate in a

he dances, sings, and cuts fantastic

Armies i'm the Trop,rs.

We III the North often envy the peo
pie Of the tropics. We read of the
way in which nature furnishes the
richest of the fruits, all fresh to hand,
without trouble or labor on the part of
man, and the lazy principle in ali our
natures paints the picture as the reali
ty never justifes. Many a hankerer
after these fancied tropical fruits and
tropical pleasures has found himself,
like the prodigal son, rather wander
er away from the real enioyments Of
life than the possessor of the great en-
joyments he anticipated. With the
pineapple, the date, and the palm, the
list of superior articles ends, and the
balance will little more than class with
our persimmons, blackberries, and
other hedge fruit. The orange, the
peach, and the vine are not in the
tropical list, as they do not thrive
where continued heat prevails; and even
where these do tolerably we'll, many
of our most valued fruits refuse to
grow. Florida may boast of her oranges,
but she cannot raise apples of any con-
sequence, and so it is all round. For
our part, we do not envy any part of
the world that cannot raise apples.
The banana, the orange, and the pine
apple are all well enough in their way.
AS change from other things they
may be regarded as luxuries, of which
most people tire when they are contin-
uously prolonged But of good, first
class apples no one ever wearies One
can eat them day after day, and still
feel that he is as good judge of what
is first-rate fruit as he ever was. Even
the tropical people themselves seem of
our way of thinking. Though they. have,
as we think, the very paradise of fruits
with them, they envy us our apples,
and import them in immense quaint.

wins and other favorites are annually
