Mixed Farming.

A contributor to the Ralral Nev
Yorker writes on this subject as fol,
lows: II am an advocate of mixed
farming. I believe it better for q
farmer to depend on several crops
for his money than on one alone;
for, how often does some particular
crop become failure? ? Then where
are the funds coming from to meet
store bills, pay taxes, the minister
and printer? Some years there is
so much of one product rail- ed that
it is very low, and if you happen to
depend wholly on that crop, where
are you then?
Now, if you practice mixed hus-
bandry, it is entirely different; for
you are almost certain Of some crop
for o good selling price; hence, you
can be on surer footing than if you
raised simply one kind of crop, es-
peeially if your capital is limited;
for then you cannot afford to wait
until another crop can grow; accord
ingly I believe it always was the
surest and best plan, for the young
farmer especially, to grow o variety
of crops. The most independent
farmer is the one who has more than
one crop to depend on. The farm
is o place where oil the ditteren.
varieties of food can be raised, and
it seems to me the object of the
farmer should be to grow all of such
kinds of food as he will need to con-
sumo in his family and feed to hi:
stock; or, in other words, let nothing
be bought that can be grown on the
farm at fair cost.
If we can raise wheat at 80 cents
per bushel, can we afford to buy il
at $1.25? or, if we can raise oul
pork at $5 per hundred, can we at,
ford to buy it at eight cents per ID!
Let a farmer who practiced mixet
husbandry for q term Of years
turn his attention to and labor
wholly upon one crop, ard if be doe:
not deny himself some of his GUS
tomary luxuries I shall be very much
mistaken"

A Scrap Book.

Every farmer should keep q book
in which to paste agricultural scraps.
Every one, in reading a paper, will
see things which he will wish to re"
member. He will perhaps see sugr
gestions, the value of which he will
desire to test, or hints which he will
want to be governed by in future
operations. And yet, after reading
the paper, he will throw it down,
and will probably never see it again.
In such case all the valuable arti>
cles will be lost. To prevent such a
loss, every reader should clip such
articles as he desires to preserve,
and paste them in q scrap book.
Such a book, at the end Of o year
or two, will be very interesting and
valuable.

Stock Raising.

We have received several letters
asking the advantages of raising
stock in certain localities. Well, in
reply, we state that there are some
advantages. Perhaps j, brings more
money for less work than anything
on the farm. Many now complain
of the uncertainty of reliable labor.
You can raise stock with fewer hands
than anything else you can 60 at.
It does not wear out, but enriches
your land if the proper course'is
pursued. 1t will turn your grass
into money without the care and cost
of making it into hay. You have
better tillage of your land, get
larger crops from smaller areas, and
there is always o ready realization of
profit.

To Prevent Hens from Settling

Tie wisp of straw, about half the
size of o wine bottle, upon the
would>be brooder's back. Directly
the hen feels this incumbrance, she
gets. off the nest and runs wildly
about the fields, striving in every
way to free herself fron it. After
two or three days useless struggles
she resigns herself 10 her fate, and
apparently makes up her mind to
submit to the inevitable. The wisp
of straw may then be removed, and
it will be found that recent exertions
have so changed the current of her
thoughts that she thenceforth gives
up all idea of setting and seeks con-
ISOLATION for her wounded feelings in
diligently laying eggs.-Her Vol
