AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Too Much Land,

Many q farmer is ruined by his
greed for land. He wants all the land
adjoining him, and his poverty is the
result of his not possessing the quaint
wisdom of the man who was trying to
hoe some corn on fearfully stony
patch, when one riding by remarked
that he should think man must be
very poor with such land as that go,
sir" replied the farmer, am not so
poor as you think l am; don't own
all this land" Many farmer is &C.
tually poorer always in straitened
circumstances which is quite as bad
because of his mania for land 4 farm
is not regarded by such as sufficient
ly large unless it contains two Or three
hundred acres of land. But there are
very few farmers with sufficient capt.
tai to own and work to advantage such
farm
A business man is only wise to meas
ure the size of his business by the
amount of his capital. Occasionally
you see a man trying desperately to
swing business which should have a
capital of fifty thousand dollars, on a
capital one-fifth That amount; the con-
sequence is, be is pretty hard up"
q wretched paymaster, a victim to
loan spongers, and in the end not worth
dollar. So of farming. A farm
which requires, for the proper manage
ment, at least twenty thousand dollars
capital, Is run on a quarter of that
amount. Mortgages exhaust soil faster
than crops. Much of the land is neglect
ed. Buildings get ont of repair. Market
ing is not properly attended to. Produce
has to be sold at forced prices, and lean
ness is marked on everything except
the circumfe rence of the farm.
But 500 much land is j loss from the
inability to work. We can bring out
the point by citing the experience of
two farm ers we know we'll. One has
farm of hundred and fifty acres of
land, pasturage of sixty acres, wood
land covering thirty acres, moving and
tilhng of fifty acres, with some ten
acres running to waste. His stock con-
sists Of one yoke of oxen, five mich
cows, seven head Of young cattle, one
horse, and q hundred sheep. This
farmer mows over some forty acres of
land to cut thirty to forty tons of hay;
cultivates ten acres divided up for
planting and sowing crops. He is
always short of pasturage, buys hay
every spring, and has but little to sell
Oil from the farm. Too much land is
that farmers poverty.
The other man living in the same
town, owning land of the same charac-
ter, has a farm of seventy-fve acres.
His stock in the number of head is the
same with the exception of a few less
sheep. He mows over only fifteen acres;
cut over thirty tons in the first crop,
and about ten in the second. He has
produce to sell; his stock looks sleek,
and always brings the best price. Old
hay has not been strange to his barn
for years. The farm is carried on with
less help, and everything shows thrift.
Now, as both are hard working, good
calculating farmers, we are satisfied the
difference in their circumstances is
that one has too much land to work
over, fence, take care of, and pay taxes
on. Over the door of many poverty
stricken farmers should be written:
Too much land.-Godel Rule.

What CrOps to Grow.


There are several crops that western
farmers might proitably grow in con-
nection vita the standard crops now
raised. We will call their attention to
some of these crops as affording
special advantages for the ensuing har
vest:
German millet is one of the mos,
profitable crops for feed, far superior
to Hungarian, and yielding double the
amount of superior feed. Every farm
er should raise few acres for winter
ing the young stock and feeding mich
COWS.
Alfalfa promises to be a valuable
hay crop, but its adaptiveness to the
different soils of our climate can only
be determined by actual experiment
Let every reader of the Agricuturist try
a little patch, and you will be we'll re.
paid, if you find it adapted to your
soil.
Flax should be more extensively
grown, as its growth and manufacture
in the West will some day mark our
greater prosperity. 1t is successfully
and probably grown in Kansas and
Nebraska, and some parts of Illinois,
Iowa, and Missouri. 1t would be a
source of great revenue to many farm
ers if more generally grown. Try few
acres of flax and you will find it pays
better than corn.
Tobacco, in localities adapted to its
growth, is u very profitable crop. Mis-
souri, Is developing great tobacco in
terest, but it does not pay on prairie
soils, a I'd is not likely to become as
which labor-saving machinery can be
used.
There are many new varieties of our
standard crops that should be taken I'M
der consideration and tested judicious
ly. The selection of seed each year
should receive much more care, and
either buying the best seed to be had,
or carefully selecting the best of eacn
crop in the harvest for the coming seed

SLUM Der SONG,


Far away on drovsy pools reposing,
Folded lilies touch the waters edge;
There with hush and shadow, night is closing;
Brown birds nestle low within the sedge.
Here the sea-waves moan and sob,
Snow-hakes whirl, and wind-gusts throb
But my babe lies closely to me prest
Sleep, my baby ah, my baby, rest;
Sweet, my baby, rest.
Far away In inland forests dusky,
Nuts fall Silly On the messy sod;
Ripe ned berries breathe out frag rance musky.
Dreaming squirrels idly wink and nod
Here the crested breakers dash,
Sea birds scream and storm-winds clash,
But my babe lies warm upon my breast:
Sleep, my baby ah, my baby, rest;
Sweet, my baby, rest.

Vanderbilt and Barnum.
Bridgeport Standard.


About Is years ago P. T. Barnum,
David Howard, of the Irving House,
and another gentleman, purchased the
steamship North America for about
$3.50, 900. Soon afterwards Commodore
Vanderbilt bought out Barnum's part
ners and sent the steslne r to San Fran
cisco, putting her on tae Nicaragua
route. At the end Of six months Bar
mum. called on the Com modore for q
share of the profits.
care you P. Z. Barnum?" asked
Vanderbilt.
On receiving an affirmative answer,
the Commodore remarked laughingly:
"Why, l supposed you had an ele-
plants trunk, lions name and the
claws Of 8 panther, whereas, on the
contrary, you seem to look like q pref
ty decent fellow"
81 have known you several years."
replied Barnum, "else l might have
imagined you were equipped with big
| steam pipe and couple of high-press-
ure engines, ready to blow up any
opposition that came in your wake"
"WelL we have not made up our
accounts, yet" said the Commodore,
"but you may call on our treasurer
and get few thousand dollars on ac-
count"
Subsequently Barnum sold his share
in the steamship to Dan Drew. The
day after the sale Barnum discovered
that mistake of $500 had been made
against him, and he called on "Uncle
Daniel" to rectify it. But the old sharp
er put him off. Barnum called the
next day, and the next, but on each oc-
casion Mr.. Drew was really too busy"
to attend to him. The great Snowman
lost his patience, and ordered his law
yers to sue the old man for the $500.
Bat before the writ was placed in the
sherifi's hands, news came that the
steamship North America was wrecked
"a total loss. And, sure enough, at the
moment Barnum sold his share to Dan
Drew, the steamship had been lying
! for several days at the bottom of the
Pacific ocean. Vanderbilt and Drew
had to pay about $1OO, 900 to passengers
and freight owners for the careless
management of their steamer. Meet
ing MIR. Drew soon after in Wall street.
Mr.. Barnum said: Well, Uncle Dan
iel, seeing my ship was wreck when
you bought her, l make you q present
of the $500 you tried to chisel me out
Of"
Uncle Daniel, drawing a sigh, re-
piled: at was a lucky thing for you
that you sold out, but hard for me-"

Singularly DefOrmed.

There is 3 singularly deformed per-
son living near Catskill. He is chair
maker named Ezekiel Eads. He has
no ears nor any aperture where his
ears ought to be. He can hear, how
ever, gathering sounds through his
mouth. When addressed he opens his
mouth and can hear anything that is
said in ordinary conversation. An
other singular thing about him L. the
fact that his hair, which Is black, is in.
terspersed with gray spots in the shape
of diminutive human hands, ears, and
other members of the human body.
He says that he has had these gray hairs
frequently pulled out, but they always
came back in just the same shapes, e1-
cept that they change localities-an
ear appearing where there was hand
before snd rice versa. Eads Is fifty
years old and the father of fourteen
living children, the Oldest, aged thirty
FIVE, having hair as black as jet, and
the youngest, five years old, being as
gray as a man of seventy. But there
isn't an ear missing among them.
