English Agriculture.

Ihere is room in the orld for us All
Inc brlskest competition should elgender
no feeling Of qualification at the reyerses
OF rival. Therefore, It is g matter of re-
gret to notice the unsatisfactory. not n
say disastrous condition of Eng glish agri-
culture: English journals are filled With
complaints and forebodings of evil,
Agriculture was never IN so depressed a
condition. Rents are unpaid: farms
60 a-begging; the owners cannot work
them; and tenants cannot MAKE enough
out OF them to pay fo- labo- and for rent
ihe English farmers are oalueed under a
Hood OF American products. The chean
iands OF this great continent end our free
system OF labor-ln wh;ah we include
the privilege to work without loosinp caste
as gentleman-have borne the fru1t
which has been SO long a--ipening: and
our unfortunate rivals ac-uss the wa+era
are al, no longer able to ccmpete with US.
Inc gates are now broken down. Our
exports are flo ing abroad at the rate of
nearly one million day, over and above
the amount Of imports. This result is
the inevitable effect of law, which no
man or nation can set aside. We could
not help 1t II We would. The best we
can 40 is to offer our rivals position BY
our side where they can share our advan-
tages. Hece is room fo- all. There the
balance is disturbed; here 1t is evenly
suspended and is not likely to be disturb
ed until our broad acres and plains are
fully occupied. And this cannot occur
Tor enturY, perhaps fo- several of
them, tocome.

Hours Of Labor On the Farm

A usually sensible exchange objects to
twelve and fifteen hours orE per day on
the farm Mechanics, it says, labor eight
or at the most ten hours day and have
the rest Of the twenty-fou- hours fo1 rest
or recreation; and why cannot farmers
40 likewise? Isn't that e healthy prope-
sition to put forth when haying, hoeing.
harvesting, fighting potato bugs and a. a.
dozen other things are crowding on the
farmers heels all at once? Well bet a
new hat that the man who suggested this
elght-hour plan tor the farm never work
ed that long" on farm in al his life.
The idea is absurd on the face OF it. Is
Nature going to delay her processes for
the benefit Of an eight-hou- farmer? Not
bit OF it: If the eight-hou7 farmer does
not hoe his corn, twill zun up to weeds;
II he does not cut his hay, grain or to-
bacco, at the right time, Without regard
to hours, he Will be out of pocket bv his
neglect. It IS inevitable that farmers
should work very hard and good MANY
more than eight hours in sumner. if they
expect to keep out of the bankruptcy
courts; but they nave the consolation Of
knowing that the drive does not last after
harvest. Work lighters up in the fall,
and az winter is the farmers play-spell; yet
II the time Of most successful farmers
We're taken, we guess It would average
more than eight hours day the wear
round. ' ..-.'

Medicinal Effects Of Onions,

\ mother writes to an English asricul-
tural journal as follows :-"Twice q week
and it was generally wren we had cold
meat minced-I gave the children din
ner which was looked forward to and
hailed with delight. THIS was 4 dish of
boiled onions. The little things knew
not that they were taking the best of
medicine for expelling what most chill
dren suffer ,from-woTms. Mine were
kept free by this remedy alone. It was
medical man who taught ME to eat
boiled onions as . specific for a cold in
the chest. He did not know at the time.
TIL told him, that they were good for
anything else" The editor of the Jour
nal adds: IA case is now under our own
observation in which rheumatic patient,
IN an extreme sufferer, finds great relief
