Forty Bushels to the Acre.

The Farmers Home Journal intro
duces the extract quoted below from
the Practical Farmer, with the remark
that it is precisely the course pursued
by all those who regularly raise large
crops of wheat on old land-and it is
substantially the way in which Mr.
Hearne, of Fayette county, KY, raised
over forty bushels this season for every
acre, over range of 20 acres
For the past five years have averaged
forty bushels per acre of wheat of the
finest quality, always being over weight.

The ono fence law" is in oper-
alton in four townships in Neck
lenbUrg county, n. G. The law
went into effect in March, when the
people were busy preparing to plant
the present crop. Nearly all succeeded
in getting sufficient pasture fenced for
the stock kept on their premises.
The law works admirably. The
thought of never again having to scratch
our hands with briars and thorns, and
tangle our feet with grape vines, while
mending our old dilapidated fences, is
too good to entertain one moment with
out almost shouting for Joy. While
those who work on the old plan of fenc-
ing up their fields will be busy this win
ter making rails, hauling and building
them on their crazy fences, we will be
cleaning up our rich fence rows, for a
luxuriant crop another year. And,
while they are paying out their money
for these repairs, we are spending the
same in compost heaps, clover lots, rye
lots, and fall and winter blowing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essays,
thus portrays the glory of tina farmer !:
The glory of the farmer is that, In
the division of 1t Dor, it is his part to
create. All the trades rest at least on
his primitive authority. He stands
close to nature, he obtains from the
earth the bread and the meat. The
food which was not he causes to be.
The first farmer was the fret man, and
all historic nobility rest on the possess
sion and use of land.
Men do not like hard work, but every
man has an exc 7ptional respect for TIL
tage, and the feeling that this is the
original calling of his race, that he HIM
self Is only excused from it by some
circumstances which made him delegate
It for some time to other hands. II he
had not some skill which recommended
him to the farmer, some product for
which the farmer will give his corn, he
must himself return into his due place
among the planters. Aud the profess
sion has in all eyes this ancient charm,
as standing nearest to God, the first
cause. The beauty of nature, the tran
guilty and innocence of the country
man, his Independence and his pleasing
arts-the care of bees, of poultry. OF
sheep, of COWS, the dairy, the care of
hay, of fruits, of orchards and forests,
and the reaction of these on the work
man in giving him strength and plain
dignity, like the face and manners of
nature, all men acknowledge. All men
keep the farm in reserve as an asylum,
where, in case of mischaEce, to hide the
property, or a solitude, if they do not
succeed in society. Aud who knows
how many chances of remorse are turned
this way from the bankrupts of trade,
from mortified pleaders in courts and
seDates, or from the victims of idleness
and pleasure Poisoned by town life,
aud town vices, the sufferer resolves /:
" Well, my children, whom 1 have in
iured, shall go back to the land, to be
recruited aud cured by that which
should have been my nursery, and now
shall be their hospital"

Census Figures.


The forthcoming population map.
prepared from the census statistics of
1870 by Gen. F. a. Walker, will con
tain some very interesting facts. For
instance, concerning the growth OF
cities in the United States, it will show
that there was only one city of the class
5000 to II, 900 in 1870, against ninety
two in 1870 three of 1900 to 90, 600,
against sixty-three; one of 10000 to
40, 900, against thirty-niue and one of
40, coo to rs, 900, against fourteen. TIL
class of Is, 600 to 125, 600 began in 1910;
1850 to 25O,OO0 In 1880; $780,
600 to 200, 900 in 1910; 500, coo,
and upward in 1850. The next census
will institute a new class OF 1000, 600
and upward. The city population of
1870 was 3. 4 per cent. of the total pop
u alton of the United States that of
1880, 209 per cent. Gen. Walker has
also made a very ingenious series of
computations establishing the locality
of the center of population in this re-
public at different eras. In 1870 it was
twenty-three miles east of Baltimore {:
In 1850, after a movement nearly due
west for sixty years, it had reached
West Virginia at about the time of the
Kansas-Nebraska troubles it crossed the
Ohio in 1870 it was within fortv-eight
miles of Cincinnati, and IN 1880 that
city will probably be the center in pop
ulatiop of a nation of IS, 600, 600 souls.
What is ZEN alkable is that during the
eighty years the extreme variation in
latitude has been less than nineteen
minutes, and only twice has the center
crept south of the thir y-Liuth parallel

Comparing their Carriers.

The other day, after a meeting of a
certain famous women's club in New
York, the ladies amused themselves
comparing their carriers, to see which
wore the handsomest, for garters of ex-
travagant expense have lately come in
to fashion, and several Of these club
members wear theirs clasped with gold
and precious stones. The jewellers are
all introducing new designs for garter
clasps that promise shortly to cost as
much as the bracelets that fashion has
discarded. A charming woman and
singer in society is said to wear a pair
of garters that cost $500.

Fables of zambrI, the Parsee.

A cat, seeing a mouse with piece of
cheese, said
4" I would not eat that if I were you,
for think it is poisoned. However, If
You Will allow me to examine 1T, will
tell you certainly whether it is or not.
While the mouse was thinking what
it was best to do, the cat hal fully made
up her mind, and was kind enough to
examine both the cheese and the mouse
in a manner highly satisfactory to her
self, but the mouse has never returned
to give his opinion
An improvident man, who had quar-
relied with his wife concerning house
hold expenses, took her and the chill
dren out on the lawn, intending to make
an example of her. PHtting himself in
an attitude Of aggression, and turning
to his offspring, he said:
You Will observe, my darlings, that
domestic offences are always punished
with loss of blood. Make a note Of
this and be wise"
He had no sooner spoken than a
starving mosquito settled on his nose,
and began to assist in enforcing the
lesson.
"My officious friend, " said the man.
"when I require illustrations from the
fowls of the air, you may command my
| patronage. The deep interest you take
in my affairs is, at present, a trifie an
noying."
III do not find it Sc" the mosquito
would have replied, had he been at
| leisure, " and am convinced that our
respective points of view are so widely
dissimilar as not to afford the faintest
hope of reconciling our opinions upon
| collateral points. Let us be thankful
that upon the main question of blood
letting we perfectly agree"
When the bird had concluded, the
mans convictions were quite unaltered,
but he was too weak to resume the dis
cussion; and, although blood is thicker
than water, the children were con-
strained to confess that the stranger had
the best of it.
A lion, pursued by some villagers, was
asked by fox why he did not escape on
horseback.
"There is a fine strong steed just be-
yond this rock" said the fox. Z" All
you have to do is to get on his back and
stay there"
So the lion went up to the charger and
asked him to give him lift.
Certainly" said the horse with
great pleasure"
And setting one of his heels into the
animals stomach he lifted him about
seven feet from the ground.
"Confound you T. roared the beast
as he fell back.
$50 did you" quietly remarked the
steed.
A mahout who had dismounted from
his elephant, and was quietly standing
on his head in the middle of the high
way, was asked by the animal why he
did not revert and move on.
You are making a spectacle of your.
