Sound on Farming.

The following views on farming were
thrown out by Mr.. Greeley in his speech
at Baltimore, and they so entirely cover
the ground of successful culture that
we give them place
/. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits of the cap
ital and labor employed or, in other
words, that ON impoverished soils no
one should cultivate more land than he
could enrich with manure and fertil-
izers, be it one acre or twenty
,. That there should be a law com
pelling every man to prevent his stock
from depredating on his neighbour
fields.
3. That green soil is more economical
than loose pasturage.
f. That deep tillage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farmers
bank, and that everything should be
added to it that viii enlarge it and in
crease at the same time its fertilizing
properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple acne, but
should seek to secure himself against
serious loss in bad seasons by diversity
of products

men brought in stricken down by new
enemy. Injuries by shot and shell,
bayonet and saber, and even the terri
BILE strokes from galloping horses, / had
dealt with daily, vainly struggling to
combat the effects of the fearful butch
cry on all sides rife; but now that we
had made strategic movement, and
were lying inactive, watching the oppo-
site side, first ore man and another was
brought into tie hospital tent, from
outlying posts in some sterile, stony
tract, to disply nothing but two tiny
punctures of the sbin-now in thewrist,
now in the leg; while one poor fellow had
been lying down and displayed his
wounds in the cheek.
Rattlesnake-th deadly crotalus-a
foe most dangerous and dread, to come
as it were suddenly IN our midst, often,
too, striking men without affording
them an opportunity for taking revenge
upon the crawling, insidious assailant;
so that, in the course of a few hours,
men shrank with blanched cheek from
taking their turn in rife-pit or earth
work-soIdiers who would have gone
ont boldly to the encounter of some in
imicaI regiment. The very knowledge
of there being such deadly plague in
our midst sent a shudder through the
whole brigade: and those who had been
in the habit of throwing themselves
Down to rest in all Snsoucionce, were
now to be seen turning over stones,
searching and beating bushes about the
tents, and starting like frightened chill
dren at every false alarm. -

The Study of Ones Hand.

No instrument devised by man com

spring, a weight it pushes, draws IN,
and the fingers, alone, contain elements
of chisels, gouges, and all the tools a
sculptor requires in modelling From
the elbow 10 the digital extremities its
movements are produced by nearly fifty
muscles. So complicated is the cordage
of human hand, expert anatomists
can hardly keep in remembrance its
mechanism. With it all the emotions of
the mind may be both manifested and
intensified. How could a Frenchman

Japan Glover.

The following account of this clover
we clip from the Mobile register:
This plant, sometimes called Spanish
clover, is one Of the greatest Blooms that
has yet fallen upon the South, and to
whom we are indebted, for it is a mys-
terry that. most likely, viii never be
solved. The same plant grows in Japan,
and that circumstance led Prof. Gray,
the botauist. to name it Japan clover.
No one has the slightest idea of how it
got over from Japan but the most
reasonable conclusion at which we can
arrive is that the seed, or possibly a
single seed, was brought across in some
thing shipped from that country. Japan
clover is a heavy grower and viii shade
out almost any grass or other species OF
growth. 1t is an air feeder, and there
fore does well ON almost any character
of soil, though a rich clay soil suits il
best The rapidity with which il
spreads is perfectly astonishing, the
more since its seeds are not winged, and
therefore can give us no idea of how
they obtain their quick transit from
place to place.

Breeding Hogs.

The following is the substance of the
Report of the Illinois State Swine
Breeders Association
l. The lower the price of pork, the
greater the need for growing those
breeds from which the product can be
most cheaply made. Depreciation in
prices should be met 10y greater efforts
to improve the stock.
3 To avoid possible deterioration, it
is best to preserve the distinct breeds
pure.
3. Before furrowing. give sows such
food as will incite the secretion Of milk
After furrowing, feed lightly at first,
increasing the quantity carefully up to
the full supply Teach the pigs to eat
as soon as possible.
T. After weaving, the pigs should
have the best of care. Milk, with oats
and corn ground together, is excellent
food, in proper quantity Plenty Of
exercise is indispensable to health.
s. Market at nine to fourteen months
old for profit.
g. It was thought best not to en-
courage the breeding of pure-bred
animals for general pork-making that
is, it is not necessary to confne it to
amy pure breed to insure success, but
that the mixing of pure breeds for this
purpose has, in the main, given very
satisfactory results.
Z. Ground or cooked food will, per
pound, make more pork than unground
or uncooked but it does not follow
that, under all circumstances, it is most
profitable to grind or cook it. This
viii depend on the price of grain, the
expense of grinding and cooking, and
the cost of feeding. Each farmer must
decide the questiSn for himself, and by
his own surroundings. 1t is better to
shell and soak corn, than to feed it in
the ear.
8. Most diseases among animals are
attributable to want of Judgment and
care in their management. All remedies
for diseases which prevailed in 1871
failed. XIII the sick hogs, and find out,
if possible, why they became so, and
then apply the remedy to the cause.
The style of architecture, although to
be regarded, is not the most important
part OF piggery. A pen well covered
with coarse, wild hay, and kept clean,
where the pigs are regularly fed and
watered, is all that is Indispensable to
success.

Flowing Deep-and too Deep.

Circumstances alter cases. Deep
blowing IS generally a good, but there
are exceptions to the best and most
general rules. II soils are well drained,
and, not too thin and poor, they ought
to be stirred deeply; the propriety of
deep stirring may be questioned. Sup

ground in a spongy mass which not

the surplus of water, viii your practice

knew q wealthy farmer and drover, who
at all times and places was accustomed
to declare that " the sleeps foot IS poi

wooI-bearers was more intense, if posi-
BILE, than John Randolph's. He never

neighbors, and had more means for do
ing as he would. After many years 1t

down; he viii have to get some sheep.
Subsequently, when the farms has pass
