Sound Ideas on Farming.

The following views on farming were
thrown out by Mr.. Greeley in his
speech at Baltimore, and they so en-
tirely cover the ground of successful
culture that we give them a place for
the benefit of our readers: I. That
the area under cultivation should be
within the limits of the capital and Ia
Dor employed; or, in other words, that
on impoverished soil no one should
cultivate more land than he can enrich
with manure and fertilizers, be it one
acre or twenty. 2. That there should
be law compelling every man to pre-
vent his stock from depredating on his
neighbor's gelds. 5. That green soil is
more economical than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to good
farming. ). That the muck heap is
the farmers bank, and that every thing
should be added to it that will enlarge
it, and increase at the same time its
fertilizing properties. 6. That no farm
er or planter should depend upon on'
staple alone, but shouI9 seek to secure
himself against serious lost in bad sea
sons by diversity of products. Farm

Corn Fodder.

We earnestly recommend tie sowing
of corn either for green food, or for
curing for winter. None who have ev-
or used it green in August and early
September when the pastures fail, or of
those who soil their milk stock either
wholly or partially, will probably need
any urging from us to SOW q liberal
breadth of it. Those who have not
tried it we hope will this season give it
a test; there is certainly nothing more
relished by COWS, and nothing which
will keep up a flow of milk in the hot
test part of summer-especially if a
little meal and and bran be fed with 1t.
Properly cured for winter it is equal in
value, we believe, to good hay, and is
as much liked by stock of all kinds.
Corn for soiling or for curing is sown
generally broadcast and plowed or har-
rowed in I; but it is preferably grown in
drills two and a half or three feet
apart, and worked several times before
cutting, which should be done when
fully in tasscl. About three bushels of
seed is the right quantity for an acre,
and the land ought to be as rich as your
supplies of manure will allow. And we
recommend that such as is to be cured
be sown earIy-that for feeding green
may be sown in succession up to the
first of August.-Anlerjcan Farmer.

sowed Corn for Winter Forage.


A writer in the Ohio Farmer says /:
My experiments with it have resulted
in the following conclusions First,
that one acre of corn sown in drills
three feet apart is worth more than two
acres planted to winter cattle Oh. The
first I sowed in June, four years ago,
from the 10th to the Goth; stock did
well on it fed in the bNndle. I have
raised some every year since, but sowed
late, and cattle would not fatten fast
enough to suit me. Last year 1 sowed
in May, about the Doth, three pecks per
acre cultivated twice, and cut and
stocked, then cut with the Empire feed
cutter, and fed from one to two bushels
per head, and am receiving gratifying
results from it now: In sowing early
the corn cared well, in fact a good part
would have done to crib, therefore, hav-
ing more heart or substance, and by
cutting it from one to one and a half in
ches long cattle eat every part clean.
It is not as much work to cut the fodder
rs it would be to husk the corn the
stalks are sweeter and softer than when
handled as they are when it is husked.
The corn should, when cured, be piled
as close as possible and heat, to keep it
from drying too much. One acre, fed
the first of this winter, twenty-five
head three weeks. Since then I have
had but enough to feed once a day, one
bushel per head, then straw in the yard
at noon, and hay at night. My cattle
are doing well, in fact are growing.

a Wonderful TemnIe.

Mrs. Yelverton, who is travelling in
Asia, in GA Journey in a junk" de-
scribes in the Overland .II0ntHIy a re-
markable Buddhist temple in Cochin
China. We give a brief extract only,
which is a vivid picture of Asiatic art
and manners. The temple of Pagoda,
or Wat of Angkor, is built in the form
of a triangle, covering a square mile of
ground. A massive wall, with out
buildings, and four splendid entrance
halls, form tie first square. Within is
a lake. The second quadrangle is a
raised terrace, formed Of solid blocks
of stone, fitted together on the model
of the Via Appia, of Rome. A massive
and richly carved balustrade protects
this terraccd walk, and bridges the lake
on each side. The terrace, which Is
now considerably dilapidated, Is 1900
feet on each side. In front it has a
magnificent building in the form of a
vestibule or gallery, 500 feet long with
three domes or cupolas, and grand en-
trance hall. The whole is sculptured
m1nuteIy, and the delicate precision of
the lines and angles of the plasters and
gateways gives a perfect symmetry. The
steps up to this gateway are fianked on
either side with colossal lions, their
names so carved as to put me in mind
of Lord ChanceIlor's wigs.
Inside this square have been magnlti-
cent gardens and fish ponds. Four de-
tached houses, all in the same style,
had probably been the residences Of

stone, without a particle of wood or
iron. The third square is of 600 feet |
side. It rises superbly from the eleva-
ton of the terrace, with eight towers
about 15Ofeet above its basement level. /
To give an idea of the architecture is
difficult, as it follows no recognized or
der. The towers are all formed in pro-
jecting leaves like pine-apples, having
the shape of bishops mitre. All the
roofs are dOmed, and made. of solid
| stone; all the roofs and doorways are
square, and surrounded with elaborate
I headings exceedingly chaste. The win
dows are richly mulIioned-of course,
without glass. The structure is sur
rounded by a double row OF square
columns or pillows with ornamental
capitals and pedestals, and the surface
carved with the figure of a woman,
finely attired in a quantity of jewelry as
it is a brooche with pattern such as Ia
dies wear at the present day. The skirt
is trimmed with q. fringe and a braid
ing, and is gored the dress has no
bodice, and the person remains uncov-
cred, save for a deep necklace which
descends upon the armlets, bracelets
and anklets of jewels and gold. But
the scantiness of the dress is compen-
stated for by the head-dress, which tow
ers in strange, fantastic shape, as high
again as the head-square on the fore
head, like the Golf of Mary Stuart. The
face is round, the features short, the
eyes large and soft, quite different
from the Chinese. The fingers are
round and graceful, but lack the de-
velopment of muscle of the arms and
legs. There must have been thousands
of these, the buildings alone was sur
rounded by 48O detached pillars, each
holding two figures. The interior of
this coIonade was a picture gallery
wrought in stone or black marble, OF
historical events, representing great
battles, with 100000 men engaged,
each regiment consisting of 1,OOO-the
numerical strength of the present day
each regiment bearing a different III
sigma. The men fought on foot, the
chiefs on horseback-the horses are
remarkably we'll drawn, and the riders
, have capital seats, but no stirrups-ir
chariots and on elephants, the latter
dashing among the troops and whirling
them in the air. The day after the vic

The Poison MONGERS who advertise
compounds of fluid fire and pungent
alIzalies as 'balsamic medicines" safe
and harmless tonic, and genial invigo-
rants, are worthy of being classed with
the old Barnegat wreckers who kindled
deceptive beacOns, in order to decoy
mariners to inevitable death. But a
time came when the lures of the coast
bandits failed, and time has come
when the vendors of FILTERED alcohol
fail to impress the reading public with
a belief in their fctiOns.
It is due to that conscientious and
able physician, Dr. Joseph Walker of
California, to say that he has largely
contributed to this desirable end, by
providing the world with a tonic correc-
