The FauIt of American Furming.

The oldest inhabitant " does not re-
member a winter that began so favorably
as the present one. To pillow on the last
day of the year, with the weather like
that of May, while the COWS are pastur-
ing on the meadows, is, for the eastern
and northern states, something remarka-
bic. Fortunately, there has been little
harm done by the extraordinary mild
ness of the early winter and much of
the spring work has been put in a very
forward state. This a great help;
farmer, unless he can be ahead of his work
must labor under many disadvantages.
Ofall men, the farmer most lives for and
works for the future. He plows and soWs
months before he reaps. His young stock
always appear to him as the future ma
tured animals, and it is of these that he
thinks, and not the young creature
which he feeds and nurses. He must
plan for years ahead; when he breaks
up sod he has in his minds eye the
field again in grass five or six years
hence, and the work of all those years is
to insure good meadow then. No man
needs to be more patient than he, nor
to wait more eheerfully for good or i'll,
he knows not which, that may befall
him. And now that winter seems
hardly to have begun, we are already
anxious about the spring, which will be
ut hand in month, and planning what
shall be done about this or that. The
management of properly-regulated farms
should be planned, once for all. There
should be no changes, except those
regularly recurring which arrive year by
year, and which follow one another as
orderly as the changes of the seasons.
The great fault of American farming is
this constant desire for change. We
change our farms as we change the
fashion of our coats. We rarely
think of them as homes which
our children shall occupy after us. II
is the same with our stock, crops aud
manner OF farming. AS the fashion
comes up, or any new thing or idea i:
talked about, we cast aside, or leave the
old and take up the new We do moi
take time to learn the value of what we
have, or that there is good in everything
ii we only persevere and bring it out
We take up carrying, for instance, trying
all the popular breeds of COWS, anC
leave that to take up hops, tobacco o.
fruits. Then We go to grain growing
and finally begin to think the west, O.
the south, or orange-growing in Florida
ismore desirable, and to try to sell out; il
uhe meantime we give no neart TO our bu
siness, which necessarily languishes. Their
are many exceptions, but this is the rule
We hear it talked over wherever farmer
gather and read of it in reports of farm
ers' clubs aud conventions. This is un
profitable. The farmer should be cor
sentative, steady, patient, perseverin
and contented if he would be a successful
and happy man. While the whole worl
depends upon him for food and clothin
he can never fail to have profitable en-
ployment, or find a market for his crop

Prevention ne..er Than curc.

There is so much good sense in the fol-
lowing suggestions for the prevention of
contagious diseases in hogs and other
stock that we commend them to our
readers:
For ten years past have watched the
progress of this disease, which has caused
the loss of so many millions of hogs.
have also read the numerous advertise
ments of doctors and quacks for their
pretended specifics, but 1 made up my
mind long ago that an ounce of proven
tion is better than a pound of cure in
this case.
But, says one, how will you prevent
it? | say very easily, if the Legislators
will only do their duty. But, says
another, what have our Legislators to 81
with the hog disease? / say that they
have the whole matter in their hands, as
long as we pay for their services. They
must not offer premium for q specific,
bnt should at once make law to this
effect:
BE it enacted, that any person owning
swine affected with any disease supposed
to be contagious shall enclose them im-
diately in an enclosure not accessible to
any other persons swine, and be it the
duty of said owner to notify every person
whose land adIoins his of the fact that
his hogs are sick and dying, so that they
may seek the necessary precautiOn to
prevent the disease from spreading.
Let them also make the owner subject
to heavy fine if he fails 70 give imme-
date notice. Says another, viii this
stop the disease from spreading? | say it
will come nearer to it than any other
method, TOR so long as we have so many
slipshod farmers that take no care of
their hogs, they will generate disease,
and often il assumes the form of an cpl
demic, and they transmit it to other peo-
pies hogs as long as they are allowed to
come in contact with them. Says another,
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1878-02-21

the state legislature has no business
with the stock on my farm. / say they
have. A neighbor has no more right to
knowingly introduce a contagious disease
among my stock than he has to set my
buildings on fire.
About 80 years ago, a contagious
disease broke out in herd of imported
cattle owned by DIR. Chenery, of Bel
mont, Mass. The legislature of the state
appointed a committee at once, gave
them power to kill and money to pay
for al! animals supposed TO be affected
with this disease. But what a howl
went up from the family at seeing their
favorite cattle killed.
That law cost the state many thousand
dollars, and might seem arbitrary, but
this that / propose would not cost the
state penny. 1t would simply compel
those interested to practice the golden
rule that will not do it voluntarily.

Apples in sand,

A writer in the London Garden says
that he finds fruit to keep best in per
fectly dry sand. He keeps fruit in this
way all the year round. He has had
French crabs two years old. The catiIiac
pear has remained Sound twelve months.
The fruit must be round when stored,
and the sand must be quite dry. The
chief advantages of packing in sand are,
the exclusion of air currents, the preser-
walton from changes of temperature and
the absorption of moisture, which favors
decay. Much will depend on the apart.

In The Clutches OF An Octopus.

a& The Warrnambool tAustralia) Stand
ard gives an account ola diver being
seized by an octopus or sea-devil:. The
diver engaged at tine Moyne River;
Belfast, in removing the reef had q
rather narrow escape from loosing his
fife. It appears that Mr.. Smale had
fired of. {. charge Of dynamite and dis
placed a large quantity Of stones at the
bottom of the river. He went down to-
prepare for lifting these stones by the
aid Of chains into the punt. While en-
gagged in rolling over large stone he
saw something, which he supposed at the
time was piece Of clean looking kelp
moving abo 1T in front of where he was
working. In few seconds this object
came in contact with the divers arm.
about which it quickly coiled, partly
holding him. Immediately Mr.. Smale
touched what was coiled round his arm
he became aware of, his position, and
tried to extricate himself from the grasp
OF a Sea devil but found it far more
difficult Job than he anticipated. Catch
ing hold Of the part hanging from the
arm we walked along the bottom of the
river towards the end Of it, when he
saw he was firmly held by one of the
feelers OF a large octupus, better known
amongst sailors as the "devil. fish" Mr..
Smale tried to pull the fish oft from its
hold Of the rocks, but with out effect
for some time: -
AT last the fish,, perhaps thinking II
had not sufficient hold or power over.it
prey, loosened itself from the stones and
quickly transferred its. ,feelers Or arms
arounu the divers legs and body. In
this position Mr.. samlc thought the best
thing for him to do was to get up on
deck as soon as possible, and he quickly
made track for the ladder which reaches
from the deck of thetpunt to the bottom
of the river. The diver was certainly
a curious looking object when he
came up. 2, This, huge, e, ugly LOOKING
thing appeared to- be entangled ali
over him. holding him, in firm en-
brace. However, Mr.. Smale's fellow
workmen were not long in freeing him
from the unfriendly hug of his submar-
ing companion. The bodysp9rtion of the
octopus was only aloud the size of a
large soup plate, with eyes in its
head like those of a sheep, but it pos
sessed nine arms, each about four feet in
length, at the butt as thick as a mans
wrist, taperingtoff at the end to as fine
