Agricultural Philosophy.

There is no great success in farming with
out hard work but it is the good thinking
that costs, not the Flooding alone. It is up
hill business to 20 againstthc common judg-
ment Of all your neighbors, but if you are
sure you are right, 20 ahead, no matter
what they say. The servants is not above
able to lead the field and know whether a
man s doing good work, and the workman
must know that he knows what a day 5
work is When | see a man draining HE
farm and carting out notable piles Of we'll
rotted manure, consider him safe. lie can
borrow money to make improvements, and
the sheriff will not have to use his bitch

4 German paper states some curious facts
relating to the position Of windows in horse
stables, and their power to affect the eyes
of horses. In one instance the horses of a
farmer-fne animals, celebrated for their
excellent condition-were kept in a stable
lighted only by small window at one side.
When light was needed for work, the door
was temporarily left OPEN the result was
that nearly all Of these animals had eyes OF
unequal strength, and in time a number Of
them became blind on the side toward the
window. Strong light directed in the
horses faces has been found to weaken the
sight. Tue worst position OF all for stable
window is in front Of the horses and much
higher than their heads. An officer had
bought perfectly sound mare frem gen.
tleman whose stable was lighted by win.
dows at the rear Of the stalls. The animal
was sound and perfectly satisfactory, AT
ter three months she became suddenly
ground shy" on examining her eyes they
were found directed upward, and this was
explained by the fact ttat the windows o.
the officers stable were situated above the
the head of the stalls, the eyes being gen.
orally drawn in that direction. She was
removed to another stall, where the ligh
was admitted from all sides, and in three
months time the difficulty had disappeared

Keeping leather Harness PIIable.

1t is well known that leather articles,
kept in stables, soon become brittle in con-
sequence Of ammoniacal exhalations, which
affect both harness hanging in such locacal-
tiles and the shoes Of those who frequent
them. The usual applications Of greese are
not always sufficient TO meet this difficulty :
but il is said that by adding 10 them a
small quantity Of glycerine the leather will
be kept continually in a soft and pliable
condition.

FIELD AND FARM.
SHORT WEIGHTS.

The american Grocer, Baltimore,
the leading journal of its kind in the
United States, is making vigorous
war on the packing establishments of
that and other Eastern cities on the
subject of short weights. If the facts
are az stated, there is a necessity for
reform, and the american Grocer de-
serves the thanks Of retail dealers and
especially of consumers for the earnest
efforts it is making ia their behalf,
When one buys can of oysters, or a
can of corn, tomatoes, fruit of any
kind, or any article for family use that
is represented as containing pound,
ne expects TO receive pound. Any
thing less is q cheat and fraud.
This thing Of short weights seems to
be carried to an extreme that we had
not expected, and of which majority
Of consumers are no doubt ignorant.
We find the following note from one
Of our retail grocers, which will serve
TO show the extent to which this mat
ter is practiced:
KNOXVILLE, Nov. -, 1874.
Editor american Grocer:

short weights are a reat curse To the
retailer. Keep up the war until every
article of all kind OF goods are put up
full weight. Urge upon Congress the
passage of a bill compelling everything
to be put up full weight,
Very respectfully,
JOHN l., HUDIBURG.
Every one will readily agree with
Mr.. Hudiburg that this species of dis
honesty is "curse to the retailer"
and not to the retailer only but to the
consumer. Mr.. Hudiburg informs us
that in the matter of picked pork,
it is put up in barrels purporting
to contain 200 pounds, when as a,matter
of fact they generally contain from $50
to 1870 pounds. We also agree with Mr..
Budiburg that law should be passed
by Congress compelling everything to
be put up full weight. These packers
have, no doubt, been perpetrating a
huge swindle, and the american Gro
Ger deserves the thanks Of all concern
ed, for its open and fearless war upon
them. We trust it may be sustained
by the retail dealers and consumers,
and that a much-needed reform may
be the result. 1t is no better than
robbery, and deserves the same treat
ment.
