n" E&-ep OmI ahe Cold.

For persons who are apt to suffer from
exposure nothing is so Injurious as the
use OF spirits TO keep out the cold
The effect Of alcohol taken in cold wea-
Their is simply TO deaden the sensibility
of the body to the feeling of chilliness,
and temporarily tohasten the circulation,
which leads people to fancy they are be
ing warmed" But then there follows
a reaction, during which the circulation
is depressed and warmth diminished. If
exposure is continued until this period
arises, the effect Of it of course is doub
ly dangerous. Hot coffee and tea have
been known as the safest of all warming

HOW THE PARsoN BROKE THE SABBATH

On the grave of Parson Williams
The grass i b own and bleach ed,
1t is more than ii ty winters
Since he lived and laughed and preached
But his memory in New England
No winter SHOWS can Mi;
or his go3dnrs, and his droilness
Countless legions ling still.
And among those treasured legends
hold this Que boon,
How he got IN Deacon Crosby's hay
On Sunday afternoon.
He VAS midway in sermon,
Most orthodox, on grace,
When i sound OF distant thunder
Broke the quiet OF the place.
Now the meadow Of the Crosby's
! Lay full within his sight,
! As he glanced from out the window
Which stood open on his right.
| And the green aud fragrant haycocks
| BY acres there did stand;
Not meadow like the Deacon'S
! Far or near in all he land.
| Quick and loud the claps of thunder
! Went rolling through the skies,
! And the ParSou saw his Deacon
! Looking out with anxious eyes.
] NOW. my uTeltlFFh. CAileu Lne HarSOn.
A md called with might and main,
I'VE must get in Brother Cro>by's hay,
It's our duty now most plain"
And he shut the great red Bible,
And tossed his sermon down,
Not man could turn more swiftly
Than the Parson in tina. town.
And he ran now to the meadow,
Will all his strength and speed;
A nd the congregation followed,
All bewildered in his lead
With will they worked and shouted,
And cleared the fields apace;
Aud the Parspn lead the singing,
While the sweat rolled down his face.
Aud il tbundered fiercer, louder;
And dark grew east aud west;
But the hay was under cover,
Aud the PaTSOn had worked best.
And again in pew and pulpit
Their places took composed;
And the Parson preached his ssrmon

scientific Farming.

One Of the grea est mistakes of the
Western farmer Is that he cultlvates too
much land says A. /. Strange, in Amer
lean Farm Journal HIS whole time is
spent in producing or taking from the
land and never returning anything. Ii
his labor and mauures we're put on one
hall OF the land he now tends, his crops
would be nearly or quite as large and the
fertility of the soil kept up.
The amount annually lost by attempt
ing to cultivate too much land, 10 labor
aud time, az well as the natural wear Of
The laud, would more than pay for all Of
tine fertilizers needed TO keep up the acme
af "Reminiscences 'fhsre 40 no need or
occasion fer worn out farms. Poor
lands generally means exhausted land,
i. G., land which is exhausted in one or
more of it, productive qualifications, and
by a careful study of the land, and OF the
methods necessary to restore its wasted
vitality, and by applying the knowledge
gained IN thls study, the land may not
only BE- kept from deteriorating more,
but may be actually increased IN produc-
tveness. Then, too, the land, as rule,
viii furnish It's own manures if proper
rotation Of crops il kept up, together with
Inc D-nfn' rf pasJuttng-
We should raise wheat when to do so
viii raise the productiveness of land that
has been worn out by corn or other crops,
aud vice v-rst. We should raise the
grasses because they recuperate exhaus-
ted soils, and We should feed on the land
because by doing 50 we are returning to
the land what was extracted from it by
the crops we feed 1t Is useless to war
against nature, and if we run to one crop
for any great length of time nature will
certainly refuse to yield up her susie
nance because her Laws are violated. But
while one crop may exhaust the soil OF
one element necessary to information of
the crop, it viii al the same time prepare
the soil for another crop, which requires
different combination Of elements for
its production.
We should make nature a cO-worker
with US in our efforts. The deep rooted
clover! or alfalfa will pump from the
depths below the susteuance for other
crops and leave it on the surface ready
for the assimilation of plant food, and
other crops act chemically on what is al
ready on the surface, thereby rendering
soluble and available what was of no use
before Change il essential to success.
One kind Of weeds or grass succeeds an
other in the wild state, and we should
follow the example
The suns heat drives away t he mois
ture Of the earth and plants start up with
a bound then the dew Of night falls upon
the withered stalks bringing with it the
nitrogen from the air and the plants
again are iavizoralei. The heat and
moisture Of summer grow and build up,
but the fr 3st of winter disinte9rates the
soil thus preparing il for the chemical
laws to work out their beautiful results.
Thus We see chat nature is ever changing
and the successful farmer must profit by
the fact.

How Farmers lose Money.

Bynot taking one or more good papers.
Keeping no account Of farm operations
paying no attention to the maxim that "a
stitch in time saves nine" in regard to
sowing grain orplAntiug seed at the prop
er time.
Leaving reapers, plows, cuItivators,
etc, unsheltered from the rain and the
heat of the sun. More money is lost in
this way annually than most persons
would be willing u believe.
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are ir-
reparable- BY repairing broken nipple
ments at the proper time, many dollars
may be ssvea--a proof of the assertion
that time is money,
Attending auction sales and purchas-
ing all kinds of trumperv, because, in
the words Of the vendor, the articles are
very cheap
Disbeieving the principle of rotation
of crops. before making a single expert
ment.
Allowing fences to remain unrepaired
until strange cattle are found grazing in
the meadow, grain fields. or browsing on
the fruit trees.
Planting fruit trees without giving the
trees half the attention required to make
them profitable. -C0leman's Rural World

date of the writing Of the dispatch, No

avrrage annual yield, and that the quail

1t i, estimated that the present crop viii
not yield more than 100, 600 quintals Of
80 pounds each. while the exp rts Of
cotton from Egypt during the three
preceding years averaged 2 800, OOO
quintals per year This great falling of
in the cotton crop for 1878 was caused
by the l0wness Of the Nile last year, and
its unprecedented overflow this year.
Two million acres, or more than tao
fifth of all the arabic land of Egypt,
were inundated in september of this
year This inundation included most OF
the lands of Lower Egypt, which We're
planted with corn and cotton. The
former crop was mostly all destroyed,
and the latter much injured, as the fore
going facts testify.
