System of Farming.

The late DIR. Swasey wrote, some years
ago, of system farming, saying it was
just as necessary in that calling as in
storekeeping or any other business. If
farmer would succeed, he must pur-
sue some well matured plans, and fol-
low them closely. He must find out
what his land is best fitted for, and what
means must be employed to cultivate
it then go to work in a straightforward,
business manner. At the same time he
must know how much labor he can do
in certain time after he has allowed
for all possible drawbacks; he must
leave as little as possible to guesswork
Then, after this, comes the work what
ever it be, and this he must do with
energy and skill. He must not be slip
shod now, but do his work well, and
refy well. He has estimated the cost
let him work within the prescribed linn
ITS. This, also supposes, that work
is TO be done in its season; some farm
ers are IN such haste TO beat their neigh
bors that they are always in advance of
the season, and this shows their lack of
system, or rather, of judgment. To-
have work properly planned is to have

ligently and according to certain def |
mite plan, and so comedies with all pre-
vious and all subsequent labor, and thus
avoids undue hurry or excitement,
which is de 'rimental to all intelligent
operations. 1t thus permits The COM
pletion of detail and consequently no
part is overweight and no part is
sighted. System thus avoids the nu-
merous small leakages which run off
with small and large capitals. The man
without system is like a composites
ship ana his business a cons ant series
of mishaps. System on a farm suppo-
SEES that the seasons will follow their
usual rounds; that so much Of spring
crop can be planted and well cultivat
ed that so much harvest can be
we'll taken care of; that so many acres
can be properly MANFRED that somany
heads of each kind of stock can be well
supported; that markets are looked after
in preparing the articles and in selling
them that care is exercisedin stocking
the farm and in the purchase of imple-
ments, and that no detail is too small to
be overlooked. II also supposes econ
omy, but at the same time expects, lib.
crafty where liberality is economy.
In short, system is the heart of q mans
business; without it be may labor hard

Twenty Miles of Whales.

SCHOOLS OF sPERMERS IMPEDE THE PRO-
k oREss OF A STEAMSHIP.
The Newport, of the New York anu
Cuba Mail Stcamship Company, ran int
n school of sperm of the Delaware Capes
on her last southwark trip. 1t wus
about 8 o. clock In the morning, and
Capt. John 7. Snndberg SAYS he could
see millions of them from the deck.
He estimated the width Of the school NJ
half mile and its length at twenty
miles. The sea was smooth, the sun was
shining, and all The passengers were Oh
deck. The vessel was steaming at fifteen
knots. Some of the whales were seventy
feet long. One Of them, about sixty
five feet long, WAS struck by The bow of
{ the steamship at right angles and about
in the middle of lis body The shock
nearly threw the passengers from their
feet. At the moment OF the collision the
whale threw up IFS tlukes and deluged
the fore part of the deck
Commissioner Alden S. Swan Of the
Brooklyn Bridge, who was looking oyer
the PROV, was among the passegels who
got drcnched. The whale, Capt. Sud
berg says was cul in two, the fore part
going TO one part Of the vessel and the
after part TO the mhrr The sea was
colored with blood The head was driv-
en- down into the water SO far that when
1t came up IL rose six feet above the sur
face, IN plain sight of those who were
looking over the side. The shock threw
the steam steering gear temporarily ont
of order, but otherwise the vessel was
not damaged.
A few minutes later second whale
was cut In two almost in the same man
ncr ms the first had been. The head
went TO the port side, but the body pass
ed under the bottom and was struck by
the propeller blades. The effect of this
on The machinery alarmed the engineer
in the engine room, who thought the
blades Ind struck drifting spar. The
course Of the vessel was then changed,
and she ran out of the school.-N. Y.
