AGRICULTURAL.
The Best Size Of a ETarIss.

People differ very much as to the
most profitable size of farms-some
putting it down at seventy acres, 9th,
ers at one hundred and twenty-five
acres, and others again at a much
greater number of acres. A young
farmer told us some time ago that he
was satisfied that he could never make
his way with seventy acres, and intend
ed, as soon as possible, to increase his
farm to one hundred and twenty-five
or one hundred and fifty acres. lie,
however, did not consider that 1t was
not so much the size Of the farm az the
amount Of capital at command to prop
crlv conduct it to insure success. Ey
looking around us we will find many
farmers who fail in their hopes, not
from having too little, but too much
land to work thoroughly and proftabIv;
and one will also frequently see chat
instead Of trying to acquire more land,
they see their way clear only by sell
ing off portion Of that which they
have, and use the capital thus obtained
in enriching the balance, which is made
by this course to produce all the profit
anticipated by the larger farm.
We can understand that, where suf-
fcient capital is at hand it is more prof,
liable to conduct large than q small
farm, A great deal of this capital,
however, is supplied by brains, the
most valuable of all, and this capital
when applied to a farm of seventy
acres, will yield more profit than one
hundred and fifty whore this is not to
be found. How many small farms we
know Of which are conducted with
plenty Of industry and good sense that
not only yield enough to support fam
lily, but to lay up an annual surplus
that in forty years will be sufficient for
the owner to retire and enjoy the rest
of his life in independence, leaving
son perhaps to conduct the farm in Il e
same hope that, following the footsteps
Of his father, he expects also to realize
in time like competency. Remember
that it is the worst possible policy to
start large farm with ID small capital
Better ten times over to begin with half
the quantity of land and use the price
of another half in enriching the smaller
farm.

Learning Animal to Lead.

1t is a practice among certain class
of stock raisers to learn all their am
mails to be governed, by early teaching
Of them to be governub.e, and ii is II
practice which will commend itself to
everyone who tries it for any consider
able time. Specially among small! far
mers who raise their own stock Is this
practice Il great saving Of time, IN ex-
changing stock, or inter breeding with
Il neighbours stock.
The law Of the road contemplates
no stock running at large, or not UNI
der the immediate control OF those
passing it along the highways; and it
is great saving Of fence for each far
mer only to be expected to pen or lead
his own stock and not to lie compelled
to fence again at IA road running
stock.
1t may not seem as easy to some Tor
US to teach cattle and hogs to lead as it
is horses, but it only needs the practice
to convince any body Of the tractabIlity
of all farm animals. Besides, III these
days OF county and State fairs, it is no
little labor to take live stock for exhi,
bition that has not previously been
trained to lead. But when We can 90
into the pastures and halter and lead
out any animal therein Just as docileIy
as a horse is learned to lead, it will be
seen at a glance the utility Of the idea.
We have practiced it for several years
on all the stock we raise and find 1t
good.

A COMPLICATION OF DISEASES is the
decision ofincompetent physicians when
a patient has been "killed by drugs.
Yes a complication, indeed, originat-
ing in indigestion, dyspepsia, kidney OF
liver complaint, all of which yield as
readily to VINEGAR BlTTERs as does
the autumn leaf to the gentle breeze -
Complications are quickly solved by

Sheepmen have reason to rejoice, for
wool has advanced very sensibly and
still has an upward tendency. This
change if it prove permanent will have
an appreciative effect on the sheep
trade, as well as on the wool market,
and hockmasters should take cognizance
Of the fact and treat their stock accord
ingly.

Too many make mistakes in feeding
poor and ungrowthy animals. This is
something to be carefully avoided, as it
is often simply waste Of feed. Always
select smooth, and growthy animals to
feed, even at greater cost, and the
profits will certainly be in proportion
to the good judgment exercised i'll MAX
ing this selection.

In Southern Russia, vineyards are
freed from phylloxera by planting
hemp near the infected vines. The
parasites are attracted to the hemp by
Its strong odor, and the roots prove to
be poisonous to them.-.Ex.
This will interest some of our readers
who have vineyards, and is worthy of
trial. These parasites have caused
much damage to vineyards and inter-
