PERI0DIcITY OF DIsEAsEs.-Every return
ing summer season brings forward discus
siOns, IN medical and other journals, as to
what Constitutes and occasions perIo iiciy Of
diseases. 1t seems to be conceded that all
evers. OF whatever type they may be, wneth-
er endemic, epidemic, or accitenlal, have 4
definite term OF action, varying bus slightly
IRON the regular Period. Fevers of pecu
mar class, such, Tor Instance, as are denomi
mated chIlls and levers, return periodically,
Euey occur generally every third day; but
when the system is weakened by repeated at
t,cks, they appear sometimes every dag, and
ia extreme cases, twice IN tn tgen5y-fOur
aours. Tnese are the simplest KIND of ievers,
aud are more under the control of medical
skill than those o. a different nature.
Ttere are d variety of feyers which can take
POSSESSION ot Ehe animal frame at pleasure;
some lew O, Il different character can never
disturb the system but once !; these are meas
les, whooping cough, mumps, small pox and
chicken PIX. The period Of their Influence
ogec the human frame can be ascertained with
singular eX3ctue,s, OWING TO their character
byins infectious or contagious.
Oue thing. saYs correspondent, speaking
OF the invisible anImalcules which indisputa-
bly, generate diseases, peculiar to the SUM-
mcr season, - one fact is forced upon our OBJ
e. vati0n, that the virus which gives addi-
tIonal malignity to the energies of minute
auimalcules does not always exist in one spot,
is hot the result Of local combination, nor
when 1t is imported does it always show its
peculiarly destructive character" There is
no longer the slightest doubt that this pecu-
her virus, imported every year from hotter
climates, is but the union of the Larvae of
an!ma,cules. Heat and moisture, and the
stagnatlOn of air, combine to produce those
terrible d:seases which can5e immediate an
inhalation. The term Of lite in man varies,
of course. according TO circumstances, but the
average among all civilized nations is the
same 1t is only among barbarous nations,
where there are great extremes OF climate,
that man does not live out his term.
This matter is we'll worth carefully consId-
erlng, pestIlential animalcules exist in
great abundance az all times in low. damp,
Jenny places, and in the dense effiuvlum that
arises IRON the multlfarIous deposits of ami
NAL and vegetable matter which unavoidably
accumulate around wharves and unventilated
places. These pestilentiel animalcules lie
inert at low temperature. and are only ma
lignant when they have a suitable medium
Tor the full development of their energies.
This medium may not always exist in the
neighborbood but Of whatever nature 1t is,
one thing is very certain, that when it does
make its appearance-when some foreign
substance is waited to the spot-bilious, yell
iow, and other malignant fevers are the re-
suit. These frequent facts are not unworthy

BUTTEE-MAKINC N SwEDEN.-We copy
the following from an article IN MGore's Ru-

cooling and handling milk are worth consld-
erIDg:
Experiments in butier-making seem to he
carried on with a good deal Of system and
care in Sweden at the present time. Dairy
schools have been organized by the govern

schools material Improvements IN cheese max
iDg have been introduced, so that the present
product is said TO be universally acknowl
edged as OF superior quality. 1t is probably
through this organized system OF schools that
an effort is being made to reduce butter-mak-

milk and cream, which, heretofore, have not

PLANT OFTES.-Ooe of the best rules the
farmer or gardener can follow to insure sue
cess in getting good stand OF tender crops,
is to plant often Take for example, melons,
squasnes, cucumbers, lima beans, aud such
other products as may be desirable to start
early, and which often fail when planted
early, and apply the rule at the head OF this
article, and success would be certain. FIT
your ground early; make broad, rich, Hat
bills. slightly crowning, to insure dryuess
and gain warmth. Then paat early IN the
season, and one week later put down few
more seeds in the hills with the thumb and
fingers; week later repeat the planting,
and if the season be particularly cold and
backward, and the first plantIngs do not APP
pear, a fourth may be necessary BY this
method success is rendered certain; but lit
tie time is los, for the later paintings viii
srow SO last as 70 oyertake the first. At tie
proper time thinning must be done, and the
crop is then handsomely started on Its jour

OaTs.-Oats ought to be sown AS early as
the state of the land will permit. for, the
earlier sown, the better will be the crop, 1t
ia time and labor thrown away to sow seed
on poor land. Plow the land deep, harrow
and cross-harrow, until it becomes light and
mellow, and whether the oats are lightly
plowed in or narrowed in, sow clover seed,
two gallons per acre; then roll, SO as to com
n.ct the soil about the seeds One and a
half or two bushels should be sown per acre
Get the best seed, such as Excelsior, Norway
or other heavy oats. With the oats SOW SIX
or ten bushels of bone dust per acre, and
dress the whole field with mixture com :
posed of equal parts of salt, plaster and ashes
lit to be had), At the rate Of tws bushels OF
each per acre.
