SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

A writer for Colman's Rural World,
who signs himself Young Farmer"
but who undoubtedly has an old head
on his shoulders, so far as relates to his
present subject, says to be successful in
farming, one should have perfect and
thorough understanding of his work
and a strong will to carry it out. A
farmers life is anything but monoto-
nous one. His labors vary day by day,
and season after season. He has more
kinds of work to attepd to than most
professional men. To be successful, he
should be seller rather than buyer.
He should raise good share of every
thing that he needs. By SO doing, it
will mako q great difference in his ex-
penses. He should provide the farm
with good fences, and divide it up into
fields of convenient size name or num-
Der every field, and obIige verybody
about the farm to call each field by its
number or name when speaking of
it.
He should select the best of stock,
separate unthrifty animals from the
rest and sell them or nurse them up
before cold weather comes on. Feed
no poor animals over winter. Keep
the best for breeding, and don't be
tempted to sell them of and keep the
poor ones. He should increase and re-
new fertility to the soil by raising
sheep, pork and beef. This will not
only improve the fertility of the soil,
but it will afford the greatest profit.
He should bring the soil into a good
condition by ploughing, manuring, cul-
tivating and draining. This will lead
one to see the advantage of goou cul-
ture. He should have no field un-
drained. If we recount the troubles
and losses which result from q want of
drainage, it will be seen that a won
derful balance of loss lies on the side of
undrained fields-drowned out crops
in wet seasons and parched crops in
droughts. lie should check the growth
and spread of different kinds of weeds.
There is nothing so fatal to successful
farming as permitting the farm to be-
come established with weeds. When
they have become firmly established,
their prevalence will reduce the value
labor to check the evil.
He should note and record everything
that occurs in his daily operations, the
experiments made, the system under
which he works, and tho results
achieved in the field, garden and Or
ctiard and amongst his stock. He then
becomes business man. He should
provide good books and papers for his
family to read. It is by reading we
gain Information, knowledge and wis
dom, and become more enlightened
and enjoy the pleasures of life to a
greater extent. No household is COM
plete without good reading material.

SLEEP THE BEST STIMULANT.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep a
week if he can. This is the only true
recuperation of brain power, the only
actual recuperation Of brain force. Be
cause, during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutrinent
from the blood, which take the place
of those which have been consumed in
previous labor, since the very act Of
thinking consumes, burns up solid par
ticles, as every turn of the wheel or
screw of the splendid steamer is the re-
suit Of consumption by fire OF the fuel
in the furnace. The supply of con-
sumed brain substance can only be had
from the nutrive particles in the blood,
which were obtained from the food
eaten previously, and the brain is so
constituted that it can best receive aud
appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness in sleep. Mere stimulants
supply nothing In themselves; they
only goad the brain, force it to a greater
of its substance, until that
substance has been SO exhausted that
there is not power enough left to re-
ceive a supply, just as men are so near
death by thirst and starvation that
there is not power enough left to swal-
low any thing, and all is over.

excellent institution on the first Monday in

New ORLEANS, August 1st, 1879.
Notice to shippers and persons doing bust
ness on the line Of the Chicago, St. Louis
and New Orleans Railroad.
During the epidemic of 1873, this company
was subjected to many losses and damages
for non-delivery and delay of merchandise
shipped over Its line, which delays and
damages were caused by quarantine regula-

and counties on the line of this road are en-
acting and putting into effect quarantine
regulations, 1t is the intention of this COM
pany, as far as practicable, to comply with
all legal regulations adopted by the author

be subscribed to by all shippers of freights
to local points on the line OF this road, dur
ing the existence of quarantine regulations,
| to-wit:
81 hereby agree that if the Chicago, St.

is prevented by any quarantine regulations,
! from delivering at its destination, the Mer-
chandise specified in said company's receipt

the said railroad company is authorized to
deliver the said merchandise at the nearest
point to the destination of said goods Tor at
the nearest station beyond, at the discretion
of the company at which it may be allow
ed to unload the same, and after said goods
are discharged at such point, they shall be
at owners risk of loss or damage to said
merchandise; and agree that the compa-
ny's responsibility for the same shall then
and there cease. l further agree, that il
the said merchandise is returned to me, by
or at my request, or for the reason that the
railroad company is prevented from deliv-
ering the same on the line of its road, or on
the line OF its connections, will receive the
same whenever it is returned to point OF
shipment, and pay the proper return charges
thereon"

at which quarantine regulations are in forc'
or effect, must be Prepaid, otherwise they
Will not be received Tor transportation.
Sd. That the above requirements taxi
