EUROPEAN AGRIcULTURE.-Mr Fulton
of the Baltimore american writes in a re-
cent letter from Europe:
In our recent journey through southern
France. the entire circuit of Italy, through
n considerable portion of Austria and
Germany, through Belgium and northern
france, the distance being nearly five
thousand miles, we observed that the much
largest portion of laborers in the field
were women. They were not only making
hay, but blowing, moving, hoeing, grub
bling and planting. They were not only
doing the work of men, but such work as
men usually depend on horses to perform
In all the vast country we did not see a
horse rake, a cultivator or any labor-sav-
ing implement. The only cultivator was
the primitive hoe, and line of women.
mostly superintendent by one or two men,
bent their backs to the labor. The only
plows looked as if they might have been
modelled after the implements which Noah
landed from the ark. We did see one
threshing machine standing on car at Il
depot in Austri.. which was the only la
hor saving machine that attracted our at
:ention. But even in Italy, with the ex-
ception of the Roman Campagna, the cul-
ture was fine, and the crops most promis-
ing of rich harvest. Every inch of
ground was made to yield to the utmost,
and wheat, corn, grapes and fruit all bore
evidence of skillful cultivation.

Highways.

AGRICULTURAL EDITOR OF FIREMAN.
Good roads are more than convenience
they are a luxury; but in order to he.
'ome such they must be well built and
thoroughly drained.
Now it is very convenient for owners of
real estate to pass with teams from
the highway to buildings and lands adj
joining. and it often happens that this can
not be done without expense in building
rnverts, bridges or partially filling bitches.
Does it become the duty of individuals
requiring such passages to provide them
at their own expense. without any in
Engagement upon the highway, or is it the
.luty of towns to build roads to our door
steps, or will circumstances alter casesp
| have been led to ask this question,
knowing that bitches are filled in front of
houses, gates, ETC., causing the water te
wash away the public road, to the great
Inconvenience of travellers; and feeling
that others as well rs myself ought to
know where the responsibility rests. If
this is not an agricultural question, it is
one that concerns every agriculturist.

WHAT Voices INDICATE.-There are
light, quick surface voices. that involun-
tariy seem to utter the saying. i won't
do to tie to-" The mans words may as
sure you of his strength of purpose and
reliability, yet his tone contradicts his
speech.
Then there are low. deep, strong voices,
where the words seem ground out as If
the man owed humanity a grudge, and
meant to pay it some day. That mans
opponent may tremble, and his friends
NAV trust his strength of purpose and abii-
ty TO act.
There is the coarse, boisterous, die
tatorial tone. invariably adopted by vulgar
persons who have not sufficient culiva-
ton to understand their own insignih-
canoe.
There is the ncredulous tone, that is
| full of n covert sneer. or secret you
cant dupe me, SIR" information.
Then there is whining, beseeching
voice that says" sycophant' as plainly as
if it uttered the word 1t ca ioles and
fatters you; its words say, " love you; |
admire you; you are everything that you
should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical, COM
passionate voice. sometimes with blunt
features, but always with G .nuine benevo-
hence.
Ifyou are full of affectation and pretence,
your voice proclaims it.
If you are full of honest strength and
purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm, and firm and
persistent, or tickle and foolish and
deceptive,your voice will be equally truth
telling.
You can not change your voice from a
natural to an unnatural tone without its
being known that you are so doing.

AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGEs.-It REQUIRES
no very keen observation to discover the
fact that it is great deal easier for most
people to criticise and find fault with the
work of others than to show perfection in
their own. We see any amount of crit-
cism concerning the plans, methods and
results of our agricultural colleges. Men
find fault with the trustees, the professors
and the graduates. The trustees are TO-
norant, the professors incompetent and
the graduates they turn out are of no
earthly use 10 the farming community
whatever. These agricultural colleges,
it is claimed, educate farmers sons aa0 ~
from, rather than towards the farm, and
so the colleges are failure. Now, it is
not strange that institutions so Young az
our agricultural and in 1ustrial colleges
should be somewhat imperfect They
were organized to supply II want not yet
generally felt by the great mass of our
laboring classes, who have been in the
habit of thinking that education is special
ly useful only to those who propose to earn
a living without sweating for it. Some of
the most bitter OPP osition TO the ag, irul.
tural colleges comes from that class which
of all others they are expected most to
benetit-the farmers themselves. Yet
some of our city newspapers have felt
called upon to throw their influence
against these institutions. Such criticism
may do more good than harm by rousing
the energy of college managers. making
them feel the necessity of gaining, in a
degree, at least, the good will of the COM
munity.-N. g. Farmer.

delaine combing woods he has had the
good fortune to secure, while the heavy,
solid fieeces are less specially remarkable,

is sign to us that the cultivation of the
medium woods required for delaine goods
and for the making of rather coarser
clothes for ordinary wear, is gaining in
the general consumption. and that the fine
broadcloths are not so much in request
and are out of fashion for everyday use.
Everywhere the wool of the half and

readily, and has brought the highest price,

A SUGGESTIVE FACr.-In the Retrospect
Of Medicine attention is called to the fact
that, although China actually reeks on nd
and water. with filth of every kind. there
is no typhus. typhoid. or other diseases,
usually considered the result of defective
sanitation. No case of scarlet fever,
measles, relapsing fever or diphtheria, has
been met with in Annoy or Formosa.
Ague, cholera and smallpox, however,
abound. This would seem to indicate the
necessity Of deeper investigation regard
ing the curse and fostering influences of
the so-called zymotic diseases. In China
1t must be remembered, that no water is
drank unless it has first been boiled.
