Principles in Farming.

In my observation of farming, find,
TO a large extent, that the good land
has to pay for the farm, carrying the
poor land with it. which, instead of
being help, is a burden, not uafre-
guently causing the loss of the firm.
This has been the case especially in tsle
older parts of the country, and it still
holds to considerable extent. Either
there must be some means of bringing
up the poor land, or less number ii
acres worked, for only the best farming
stands chance m this age of RAPID
progress and close competition, when
land is high and profits are small.
There must be intelligence, experience,
acquaintance with the land, and eli
mate, and the crops best adapted. This
knowledge is indispensable, and prac-
flee must go with it; not only is the
trade to be learned 80 as to know how.
to work and plan to advantage, but the
soil also must be understood, in all its
varieties. Actual experience in under.
stSndingly working the soil for years in
succession, is imperatively demanded if
the best results would be obtained.
It is of the utmost Importance to IN
| derstand the principles that apply-the
why's and wherefores of what is to bo
done. This is the domain of science.
For instance, science tells us that sum
light is animportant element in growing
and perfecting seed. If, therefore. Il g
farmer plants his corn so as to shade the
stalks no ears will be formed; or If he
allows his fruit trees to be crowded to
the extent of shading the fruit, small
and imperfect specimens will result.
This teaches less closely planting trees
and thinning out the branches-plant-
ing corn so as to give access to sunlight.
There is no branch of farming, that has
not principles that govern it, which il
not understood and carried out, will re-
suit in disappointment. 1t is the busi-
ness of the farmer to improve the con-
dition of the soil so as to favor develop
ment. In this lies his success or failure,
and it covers the whole field OF farming,
which is very wide one, embracing
most of the sciences, from which he
nay derive instruction. He thus hes
much to encourage him if he is man OF
spirit and enterprise If slothful and
unambitious he will despair, and the adj
vance of time will soon leave him out OF
sight, and his place will be occupied by
others more worthy.-Cor. Country

Crows Dragged.

The biggest agricultural story of Con.
necticut thus far this year comes from
Waterbury, Charles Fogg, merchant,
lives on has father-in-law's farm this
summer, couple of miles out There
is "a twenty-acre cornfeld on the place,
which has been fairly covered by hungry
crows for some weeks. The field is so
large that by.the time gunner scares
the birds off Of one end the other is well
covered.
Mr.. Fogg's father-in-law had about
given up the crop, when the hired boy
came to the rescue. He had read that
crows, or any bird, could be stupeied
by the use Of alcohol. He had no
alcohol, but he stepped a peck of corn in
o gallon of the hardest cider in the cell
lar. To this he added two-ounce bot
tie of laudanum, and then he scattered
the corn in the corntield.
The crows held aloof from the free
lunch for several days, and the boys for
got all about it. But yesterday morning
as Mr.. Fogg was driving to town he no
ticed crowd of crows over the field try
ing to fly and keeping up deafening
cawing. He called the boy, and they
rushed into the field and captured and
killed two hundred and seventy five
crows which were lying on the ground
he1plessly drunk. The others managed
to fly awsy.-A ?. San.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

This soft eun-g!ory melting thro' heavens
blue,
Like iove-4ight Ehrp' the azure of your eyes
SubdueS and meftS my heart to tender signs,
For that sweet season, fresh with mOrnIug0eN,
Lifss fragrant, hoTery June,
Springing to boom on Sunday afternoon
Let me recall, dear, with this lovers kiss,
Our walk from church on shch golden day:
Loves radiant rainbow arching the charmed
way,
Our hearts athriil with an unspoken bliss;
Too soOn alas! too soon
Passed that bewiIdering Sunday afternoon.
Do you remember, sweetheart-that blush
tellS!-
Going to church upon a day more fair,
With orange blossoms in your red-god ha&Hs
And the air musical with marriage oeitsE
Heaven held no richer boon
Than life, fer US, that Sunday afternoon.
And blessed life has been thro' all the years
That we have walked together, heart %
heart,
Bearing Of every burden each our part,
Sharing our ioysand mingiing, too, our tears,
And finding our way strewn
With hearTsease, always, Sunday afternoon
For this oasis in the desert sands,
This peaceful truce between the weeks
stern wars,
This tender strain in lifes discordant Jars,
Strengthens our hearts and nerves our failing
hands;
Our souls are set atune
To heavenly music Sunday afternoon.
here present past and future strangely blend,
And life, illumined by tn eternal light,
Uufolds its mysteries to our cropping sight;
More clear appears our beings aim and end
When, rising soft, the moon
Drops benediction Sunday afternoon.
