Profitable Farming.

Inquiries are often made as to which
is the most profitable branch of farming.
Now the fact is, this depends upon sew
eral contingenc es. The price of produce
and of almost every product o. the farm,
as well as stock. depends. in a great
measure, upon circumstances. Some
seasons, one article-for instance, hops
this year, on account of failure in
certain parts of the globe--command
an unusual and abnormal price; but
good Judgment dictates that it is not
good policy to base calculations upon
such premises, and 10 presume because
certain year paws exceedingly well
that therefore The pro iuction of this
certain crop will be a su cess in the
future. For general purposes spe cial
crops or emplovments are rarely suit
able, and mixed farming is the best re-
lance. This implies the culture of
roots. grass and grain. chic y Tor feed
ing to tho stock. and only partly for
sale. The aim should be to distribute
the produce SO that good portion
comes back as soil manure, and by this
means the soil is kept improving con-
SANITY in fert lity and freedom from
weeds Then immediate advantage can
be taken of any exceptional condition OF
things. and if grain does not pay. meat
and wool may be made to do SO, and if
grain happens to be high it may be sold
and some cheaper feed substituted or
the stock. A sharp farmer. who has a
little capital and can turn about on
short notice. will never be caught in
poor year, without at least average
profit from his Business. By this we do
not mean that every farmer must turn
specu 'ator. b that he should keep
well posted in reference to the supply
and demand OF all kinds of farm pro-
duets in his own and foreign countries.
for ov so doing can he alone be pre-
pared to make the best returns from his
farm Year a ter year we see two
farmers. side by side, with equal uality
of land and the same facilities and OPP
portunities for sue ess. the one alwa s
prosperous and the other always under
the harrow. This difference can only
be accounted for on the ground of
management The best course to
pursue is straightforward one. Be
not over excited if some par ocular crop
happens to nav unusually well for a
time. The world needs but a GER ain
amount of each kind of produce. and it
is iarmer's duty to study that want,
and his aim should be to supply it.
Grow as great arety as yon can, and
never depend upon any one article as
general farmer.-Sdn Francisco Caron-
icle.

VOltaire in London.

It was probably during his sojourn
either in Maiden Lane or in Billiter
Square thath adroitness and fluent mas
terry over our language saved him from
what might otherwise have been an I'M
pleasant adventure. He CHANGED one day
to be strolling along the streets when his
peculiar appearance attracted attention.
A crowd collected, and some ribald fell
low began with jeers and boots to taunt
him with his nationality. Nothing is 50
easily excited as the passions of a rabble,
and the passions of rabble, when their
victim isdefenceless, rarely exhaust them
selves in words. The miscreants were al
ready preparing to pelt him with mud,
and mud would no doubt have been fol-
lowed with missiles of more formidable
kind. But Voltaire was equal to the
crisis. Boldly confronting his assailants,
he mounted on q stone which happened
to be at hand, and began an grafton, of
which the first sentence has only been
preserved. "Brave Englishmen," he
cried, Gam not sufficiently unhappy in
not having been born among your How
he proceeded we know not, but his
harangue was, if we are to believe Wag-
mere, 30 effective that the crowd was not
merely appeased, but eager to carry him
on their shoulders in triumph to his lodg-
ings. This was not the only occasion on
which he experienced the rudeness with
which the vulgar were in those days &C
customed to treat his countrymen. He
happened to be taking the air on the river
when one of the men in charge of the
boat, perceiving that his passenger was a
Frenchman, began to boast of the supe-
rior privileges enjoyed by English sub
;ects; he belonged. he said, not to . laaa

The Army Worm.

The army worm is an old and familiar
nuisance. 1t has been known in this
country for nearly century, and itsnat-
ural history, at least in America, first
began to be studied after the great army
worm year of 1861. According to Riley
and other entomologists, the adult insect
is night-fyiug moth of dull brown
color, marked in the center of each fore
wing with distinct white spot, and with
an expanse of wing little over an inch
and three-quarters. The moth deposits
her eggs in the folds of grass and grain,
always concealing them from sight by
pushing them down into the unfolded
portion of the leaf, or by cementing the
edges of the leaf together over them.
The eggs are laid singly, or in rows,
which sometimes contain as many as
twenty. The larva, or worm, is, when
full grown, an inch and half in length.
During this stage, which lasts fifteen or
twenty days, the worm casts its skin five
times. Its body color is pale green. The
entire back is occupied by broad black
or dusty band, with series of stripes on
each flank. Down the middle Of the
back is an interrupted narrow white line.
often clearly seen only near the head.
The habits of the worm are somewhat
like those of their relatives, the cut
worms, in that they feed chiefly at night.
During the heat of the day they hide
under sticks or any kind of rubbish,
though, when occurring in great num-
bers, they often eat the entire day, or
disappear only few hours. When mi
grating from an eaten field to new one
they have the habit of going together,
and nearly always in the same direction,
which has given them their popular
name of "army worm" Their food
plants are naturally the grasses and
grains. When on the march they attack
preferably the cereals. Shortly after the
last mott the worm burrows beneath the
surface of the ground, and transforms to
. pups in the cell thus formed. The

A Chicago ldyl.

There are two brothers on La Sale
avenue who move in pretty good circles
on very little money. A VIII. e ago their
neighbors were astonished to lind the
family in possession OF 3 coupe and
negro driver By and BY, however. it
was noticed that only one of the broth
ers was seen in the hack at one time.
To add to the mystery it was discovered
that the negro coaehman disappeared
each night, and that when on brother
was riding the other brother could new
er be found anywhere. The mystery
came to an end last week. and the
neighbors were treated to rough and
tumble fight on the street between one
of the brothers and the coachman.
Then the immense feline escaped from
confinement in the bag. 1t seemed that
the Young men. unab to pay the wages
of q negro coachman, took turns in
backing up with burnt cork and acting
as driver. This was all very well until
Jim, the eldest, insisted on George driv-
ing him to the residence of .eorse's
young lady. Hence the row. The
coupe and horse are for sale. Caicago

The owner, a small man, and i'll at the
time, asked that the horse be hooked up.
Stepping into the skeleton, he drove a
couple of miles, and then asked the
groom to station along the road such OBJ
jects as the horse was afraid of. This
was done, and the horse was driven by
them quietly back and forth, with loose
lines slapping ON his back. The whole
secret was in voice that inspired conf
dence. The man had been frightened at
everything he saw that he supposed the
horse would fear. The fear went to the
horse like an electric message. Then
