Profita BILE Farming.

Ar. w. ~. Yeomans saws there are
comparatively few crops that are grown
by the farmer that can be planted year
after year in the same field to A profit
without employing large quantity of
manure. Onions can be grown for any
number of years, or for an indefinite
length OF time, upon the same piece Of
ground, with fair dressing of manure,
without any injury to the crop. The
same is said TO be true Of broom corn,
provided the stalks are ploughed into
the soil. These, however, are excep-
tons
That rs the most profitable farming
that secures the best crops at the least
cost. Chemical science has taught that
plants are differently constituted, or
require different elements for their de-
Yelopment; so that if any particular
crop is grown definite amounts of certain
mineral elements are taken from the
soil. Now, if that crop is continued,
the important elements for the same
will be largely exhausted, and, without
restoration, a sort of sterile condition is
produced.
These facts have given rise to sys-
tenn of cropping followed by English
farmers, as well as many farmers in this
country, which is known as rotation.
~ this means good crops of the various
kinds are grown from year to year with
the application of moderate quantities
of manure
A good system of rotation usually ex-
tends over term of, say five years, and
each separate crop is followed by one
he
position that can be employed. In many
portions OF New England no definite
system OF rotation is employed, because,
from the uneveDness of the surface, the
system OF farming is more mixed But
IL Is by no means the most profitable
farming that strives to secure the great
est possible crops without regard to the
condition in which the soil is left; by
subJecting 2 farm to "skinning pro-
cess, satisfactory returns may be real
lzed Tor a time, and that taken as an
evidence OF profitable farming, but the
trouble is that the increase is obtained
at the expense Of the permanent fertility
OF the farm itself.
Stockholders in bank would not
count dividends as profitable if they
were drawn from the stock itself instead
OF its earnings; and so it is with farmers
unless they pursue such course as is
calculated TO leave the soil in as good or
better condition than when the cropping
commenced, they are not farming at a
profit. These remarks apply more es.
pecially to cropping; the many other
directions for labor and resources re.
sulting therefrom might well be referred
to IN The same manner. The great effort
should be to make gain in favor OF the
labor bestowed. If il were to cost more
than pork was worth to fatten it, il
would be useless to attempt it unless for
the manure that is made for the farm.
And SO of raising poultry, fattening
beef, etc. The great desideratum of
every farmer should be by some simple
system of book keeping to know exact.

ducing, so as to concentrate effort in
those directions that are most profitable

1t is only the pious who know how to
pity and forgive.
Good manners is the art of making
those people easy with whom we con-
verse.
Be pleasant and kind to those around
you. The man who stirs his cup with an
icicle spoils the tea and chills his own
fingers.
1t is always good to know, if only in
passing, charming human being; it
refreshes one like flowers and woods and
clear brooks
There can be no study without time !;
and the mind must abide and dwell up
on things, or be always stranger to the
inside of them.
He that procures his child good
mind makes better purchase for him
than if he laid out the money for an adj
dition to his former acres.
Fame is an undertaken that pays but
little attention to the living, but be-
dizens the dead, furnishes out their fu-
nerals, and follows them to the grave.
To-day is king in disguise. To-day
always looks mean to the thOughtless, in
the face of uniform experience that all
good and great and happy actions are
made up precisely of these blank to-
days.
The memory is perpetually look
ing back when when we have roth
ing present to entertain us: it is like
those repositories in animals that are
filled with stores of food, on which they
may ruminate when their present pas
ture fails.
Pain itself is not without its allevia-
tions. 1t may be violent and frequent,
but it is seldom both violent and long
continued, and its pauses and inter
missions become positive pleasures. 1t
has the power of shedding satisfaction
over intervals of ease, which few enjoy
ments exceed.
Economy is the parent of integrity, of
liberty and of ease; and the beauteous
sister of temperance, of cheerfulness
and health. And profuseness is a
cruel and crafty demon, that gradually
involves her followers in dependence
and debt, that letters them with "irons
that enter thier souls"

How to Take off a Hide.

In taking off a hide or calfskin, never
cut the throat crosswise in the least
Slit the skin from the brisket TO the tail,
and from the brisket to the jaw; then
cut around each leg at the hoof. Silt
the hind leg from the hoof up directly
over the gambrel, and the forward legs
in the front, directly over the knee, to
the top of the brisket bone. This leaves
the hide or skin in the proper shape for
finishing. t.
Skin the head and legs carefully to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing
Mt the head, draw or fist off the skin
without any further use ofthe knife,
thereby avoiding the holes and cuts
that almost spoil so many caltskins.
Some farmers use a windlass to draw oft
the dairy skins, and others use horse !;
but one or two men can do 1T great
deal more quickly and easily.
When taken off lay the hide or skin
fiat on the floor in a cool place, where the
sun can not shine upon it, and cover 1t
with salt-rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt Do not roll it up,
but let it remain in the salt until you
take off another; then place that one
upon the other, sailing freely as before,
and so on, until you get enough TO make
quite pile; then commence another pile
in the same manner. Do not be afraid
to use salt freely; what the skins do not
require will shake off and can be used
again.
If you prefer to dry out your skins
before selling them, be sure that they
are thoroughly cured with salt before
drying them, and then that they are
thoroughly dried before being baled up
for shipment.
Never dry out skin without having
it sailed as described to preserve it from
moths and other injuries on the hair
side, which are liable to occur if the
skins are not properly sailed before be-
ing dried out.
1t your skins remain on hand very
long after being dried out before deliv-
cry to the tanner, even if sailed, watch
them carefully to detect any indications
of moths or worms on the hair side, and
if any are discovered, have the skins
vigorously whipped with stick so often
ihat they shall be wholly eradicated
from the entire lot of skins, as they
often work serious injury in vely short
time..-Leather Review.

A sPRINKL-NG of weak brine every

common watering-pot. When grass
comes up in the crevices of flag walks,
salt in the grain may be applied to kill
it. If quack grass or thistle roots have
protruded under walks or pavements,
one may as well treat thoroughly with
strong brine or grain salt on the surface
to eradicate it; but care must be taken
not to have these remedies come within
