Advantages of Small Farms.

A correspondent writes to the De-
partment of Agriculture from Van
Buren,, Iowa, that he is running a
small farm of forty acres, with twenty
under cultivation in fruit, vegetables
and small grain. "My income varies
from $500 to $4,000 year." he appears
proud to acknowledge. The more in
dustry and intellect one puts into an
acre of soil, the more money he is like
ly to take out of it. His judgment
should tell him wheat crops will pay
best in the markets within his reach,
with a small farm close in hand small
taxes and small outgoes for labor, feed.
and working stock. There are both art
and good sense in keeping down ex-
penses on the farm, and in other
branches of business.
Success in tillage and husbandry de-
ponds on the capacity of the human
brain rather than on the size of ones
plantation. One family, by skill, in
dustry and economy, becomes rich by
cultivating twenty acres only, while
another family grows poor by the bad
management of 200O under the plough.
1t is not the pursuit, but the man, that
Is failure. The farmer often grasps
more acres than he can handle to the
best advantage, and all are more or less
sighted at certain times and seasons to
the injury of his cash income. Labor
is misdirected, or neglected, till out of
season, when vitality in seeds and cul-
tivated plants does no good. On a
small farm every blow may be struck at
the proper moment.
Every person has but limited
quantity of force, physical and mental f.,
and 1t Is the most common of all mis-
takes TO dilute and spread this force
over too large a surface. 1t is not the
diffusion of muscular strength, but Its
concentration that bores artesian wells,
and draws a fountain of living water
feet In thickness to the surface for the
use of uneducated man. Diffused labor
on large farm is like the scattered
rays of light in the interstellar spaces
before the telescope collects them
together, and thereby extends human
vision and knowledge 10 millions o.
suns and worlds before unknown.
Tho cultivator of the earth need.
time and opportunity for profitabl,
study. How shall he command sucf
an advantage? Not, surely, by hold
ing more land than he uses with any
benefit to his family, or to mankind a
large. The democratic doctrine o

Wintering Bees.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T may be useful to
those who keep bees to know the fact
that these useful insects will stand our
cold climate, entirely unprotected
during the winter.
Last fall I Intended to take three
swarms (all have) into the cellar but
they were forgotten, l supposed our
unusually cold winter had destroyed
them, but to my establishment they
have survived, and are apparently as
we'll off as they would have been In
the cellar. They had no protection
whatever, but remained as they were
all summer.

English Railroad Accidents,

In England last year LIS persons
were killed and 4,l6S were injured by
railroads, including, We presume, all the
employees and passengers, and possibly
some Of the tramps on the track. This
is nearly five times as many as the
Railroad Gasette's figures charge upon
the American railroad service for the
same year; our mileage also is four times
that of England, although the number
Of miles u by trains is not SO dispro-
portionate. The proportion of passen-
gers killed in England in 1S47 was about
1 to 5000, 900 or the sane as in Msssa-
chusettes in 1873, but in this State in
1874 only l passenger was killed to Az
100000 transported. The proportion in
this country has been steadily diminish
ing; in England it has been rising with
frightful rapidity. In 1864 only IL PAS
sengers we're killed; in 1868, 80; in 1870,
81; in 1874. IS. This Indicates that the
English railroad apparatus is being put
to . strain which it can stand no longer
with safety to the public. English roll
ing stock is certainly inferior to Ameri-
can in stability. The English model
sacrifices strength to lightness, and is
very defective in other respects.-Spriag-
field Rep.

English Children.

Mrs. Julian Hawthorne thus describes
the manner in which the English people
of the upper classes treat their young
children: Perhaps, while VT are in the
nursery, it might be well to give an idea
of the course of daily discipline to which
English children are subjected, and to
winch quite as much as to the climate
they wv their soft, bright compilations
and abundant health. They rise at half
past 2 all the year round. They are
carefully bathcd and rubbed, and by half
past 8 are hungry for breakfast, which
consists of a dish of Oat meal or bOminy
and a bowl Of milk, or of Eppe's cocoa
with a little stale bread crumbled in it.
Instead Of the oatmeal or hominy, they
may occasionally have a perfectly fresh
soft boiled egg, mixed with stale crumb-
led bread. After breakfast they pay
their m an hours visit, and then
90 for an hours walk. On their return
they play in the day nursery until 12,
and are then put to he'd for an hour and
a half. Between half past / and 2 they
have dinner. This meal should consist
mainly of strong beef or mutton broth,
wholly free from grease, and mixed with
half its bulk of boiled rice or barley.
1t must be cooked especially for the
children, and the cook must be made to
understand that children's meals should
be prepared with ven more care than
grown peoples. For dessert they may
eat a little stewed fruit or rice pudding.
At 8 o'clock they take their afternoon
walk, remaining out, unless in the Bit
terest weather, until 5. Then they have
what is called afternoon tea-bread and
blackberry jam and sweetencd boiled
milk. The next thing is a good hearty
romp in the nursery, in which the whole
family takes part, until about $50
O'Clock. Then amm takes them to
her room while she is dressing for din
ner, and at Z they are put to bed.
This regimen is pursued with undevi-
ating regularity until the child is years
of age, and it builds up a fund of order
illness, blooming health, and sturdy nerves
which generally lasts through life.

A Great Collection or Birds.

/ had the pleasure, the other day,
Of inspecting the curious and valuable
collection of birds belonging to u eel
ebratcd compatriot, DIR. Thomas w.
Evans, who is devoted to his feathered
pets, and has lodged them in a most
sumptuous manner. Not penned in
sitting cages, but in large Enclosures of
wire-work out of doors, the beautiful
creatures enjoy all the privileges of free
dom and all the protection of captivity.
The collection is no ordinary one, but
comprises several remarkable r~arities.
Gold and silver pheasants, parrots and
paroquets, lovely white peacocks, and
others of the more easily domesticated
foreign birds abound. The curiositics
comprise, first, a superb specimen of the
gorgeous t~OphOphOre r~esptendissOm Il be-
lieYe this is the technical name for the
lovely creature), radiant to behold in
gold-colorcd and vclvet-brown plumage,
pencilcd with white; a Lady-Amherst
pheasant, said to he the most beautiful of
that beautiful tribe, with silvery pen
ciled plumage falling over a ground of
glossy black; a pair of rare tropical pea
fowls, with collars and crests seemingly
in black velvet and far richer in plumage
than our sobcrly alfred birds of the
same race; and lastly, the greatest rarity
of all. a pair of the original breed of
chickens from India, samples of the race
from which all our domestic hens and
roosters have sprung. The plain brown
little hen. sitting so cOntentedly on her
comfortable perch, has been brought
successfully through the ordeal of a
European winter, All almost unheard Of
triumph, and she is now worth 10000
francs ($2,OOO). The Doctor, however,
refuses to part with the gem of his col
lection even on these terms. Should she
ever lay an egg, her possessor would be-
core entitled to a prize OF 500 francs,
but as yet she has neglected that obvi-
Gus duty OF hens. Perhaps so high
priced a bird feels it beneath her dignity
to attend to such commonplace affairs.
The collection finds q home in the
spacious garden attached to the resi-
dence of DR.. Evans, On the Avenue de
rImperatrice. The rarer species of small
birds are even more sumptuously lodged
indoors in IN elegant apiary. The cen
ire of the garden Is taken up with in
closures for water fowls, which ale
furnished with paved basins for their
-squatic f%rolics, while the large wired in
closures extend around the outermost
limits of the grounds. Rare ducks and
fowl disport themselves at will around
the shrubbery, while a stately demoi-
sslle crane, tame as a chicken and SOL
emn as ajudge, marches around in soil
tary dignity, cendesccnding to accept
food and caresses only from his masters
hand.--P Paris cor. PhHa. Press.

Somewhere about the time that Co

And where wa he born?
In the beautiful city Of Florence, In
