LARGE PLANTING.-A Georgia pa
per, published in Oglethorpe county,
gives an account of the farming ope-
ratious of Mr.. James Smith, Of that
county, from which we condense the
following:
At the surrender, Mr.. Smith was
left like The great mass Of our people,
with very slender means in hand. He
went to work with a will, and, by we'll
directed labor, has made a fortune by
farming and yet some men say that
farming will not pay. See what he
has done in ten years! He sowed Is
acres in wheat and harvested 425
bushels; 2 acres in oats and harvested
125 bushels; has l 800 acres in cot
ton from which he expects to realize
800 bales of cotton; 1000 acres in
corn, from which he expects to obtain
10000 bushels corn and at least 30,-
900 bundles of fodder. The whole
crop will not aggregate him less than
$4,000.

TREES AND RAIN.-The infu-
ence Of trees upon rain and the
general moisture of the atmos-
phere, which has been discussed of
late, receives u strong illustration
from the island of Santa Cruz,
West Indies. A person year or
two since, who spent the months of
February, March and April uron
the island, says that when he was
there twenty years ago the island
Was Il garden Of freshness, beauty
and fertility woods covered the
hills; trees were everywhere abun-
dant, and rains were profuse and
frequent. The memory of its love-
illness called him back at the begin
ming Of the year, when, to his
astonishment, he found about one
third of the island, which is about
twenty-five miles long, an utter
desert. The forest and trees gen
orally had been cut away, rainfalls
had ceased, and a process of desic-
cation, beginning at one end of the
land, had advanced gradually and
irresistibly upon the island, until
for seven miles 1t is dried and desc
late as the sea-shorc. Houses and
beautiful plantations have been
abandoned, and the people watch
the advance of desolation, unable
to resist it, and knowing to a GER
tainty that the time when their
own habitations, their gardens and
fresh fields will become a part Of
the waste, is fast approaching
The whole island IS doomed to be-
| come q desert. The inhabitants
believe, and the opinion seems to
be confirmed, that this sad result
is owing to the destruction Of the
trees upon the island. e. -. =.

HINTS ON DIET.-The stomach
should never be overloaded. Bread is
the staff of life and is very nutritious
as we'll as digestible. The best bread
is made of unbolted wheat Graham
Aour.) It should form part Of every
meal. Bread and milk is the best
diet for children, and is good for
adults. Too much salt irritates the
stomach. Colds are frequently pro-
duced by drinking hot tea and expo
sure afterwards. Late suppers induce
heart disease. Pastry, cake and fine
-four bread constipate the bowels
Boiled potatoes are not so healthy as
baked ones. Fruits are to be eaten at
breakfast and dinner. The stomach
must rest to be healthy; purga:ive
medicines weaken the bowels. Cheer
full conversation promotes digestion !;
aud fatigue, sorrow and anger prevent

FARMERS AND HORSEBACK RIDING.

FARMERS AND HORSEBACK RIDING.
Every farmer ought to have one
good riding horse-that is, every
farmer who keeps three horses or more.
Even if he keeps but two, it is more
economical to keep a saddle and use it
whenever it can be used as substi-
tute, than to Wear and tear harness
and carriage over the miserable roads
which are tco generally found. A
good riding horse can generally be
purchased for the price of good har-
ness and carriage. The cost Of keep
ing is scarcely greater if the utility
and improvement in value Of we'll
cared-for horse is taken into account.
We should like to see horseback riding,
for both men and women, becoming
fashionable. We would far rather see
young farmer we'll mounted on
good, strong saddle horse than see him
riding in q su!ky behind lis fancy
trottoc Stimulating the air and appear
ance Of Jockey. There IS great
opportunity for improvement Of man
rers and general appearance to result
from the physical exercise horseback
riding will give our young nien and
women. 1t would destroy much Of
the cf:eminancy which exists, beget
nob!cr physique and carriage, and
save q vast amount of time and money,
i: horseback riding were more gen
orally substituted for carriage riding
among our people.

WATERING FLOWERS IN
POTS.

Many who have the care OF WIZ
dow plants seem to think that the
operation of watering is one, OF the
simplest items incident to their
care, and will hardly thank US for
advice on this point, and yet We
may safely hazard the assertion that
more plants are injured and more
fail to reach their greatest pertec-
ton from an improper mode OF
watering than from all other causes
combined.
To water the various varieties
that their different wants may be
supplied and no more, is an art
acquired by but few, and the credit
which some receive for fine collec-
tions is often due to the proper
observance Of this one item.
It should be kept in mind that
the duty Of the water is to dissolve
and convey to the roots Of the
plants the food which they neet;
some plants must have season OF
comparative rest, and if such are
wa5ered literally during this time
they will keep on growing and the
necessary rest is not obtained
When any of my lady friends tell
me that they succeed very we'll
with certain classes of plants, such
as the fuchsia, Gala, lobelias and
iyies, and fail with others, | at
once set them down as being pro-
fused watercrs, who, by too much
water, injure or destroy such plants
as Will not bear it. On the other
hand, there are those who fail with
this class of plants and succeed
we'll with others, because their
mode of watering does not supply
enough for the want of one class,
but 1t is about the proper amount
for another.
Many plants are permanently
injured by water remaining IN the
saucer; others often suffer from
bad selection Of the soil.
Some of our amateur florists fail
with q certain class of plants, of
which the begonia may be taken
as a type, because they shower
the leaves with cold water, but for
this very reason are eminently
successful with another class, Of
which the camellia Will serve as
type.
AS a general rule from which
there are few variations, the tex-
ture CT the leaf may be taken as
an index of their power to resist
the application of water. Plants
having porous, open or feshy leaves
covered with soft down, should be
seldom, if ever, moistened, while
those having glossy or hard leaves
will do all the better if watered
frequently.
