Too Much York.

There is such thing as doing too
much work on a farm. 1t matters not
whether the farmer buys his labor or
performs it himself, it must be paid for.
He will not consider himself satisfied
unless he is remunerated for every hours
time he devotes to the working of a crop
or any special plot of ground. But, as a
rule, farmers are prone to give more
work on some locations than is necessary
under certain conditions. 1t is waste
of time and labor to cultivate two acres
if q larger crop can be secured, proper.
tionately on one. We are aware that
one acre will not support some farmers,
but the rule is applicable to larger areas.
He should not cultivate fifty acres if he
can secure better results from twenty-five.
1t will pay him to realize seventy.6ve
bushels Of corn, or twenty-five bushels of
wheat, per acre from twenty-five acres,
while he may lose money if he secures
fifty bushels of coru or twenty bushels Of
wheat per acre from fifty acres. 1t is
not the gross amount of produce he re.
ceived that pays, but the net. 1t re-
quires more time to spread given
amount of manure over two acres than
upon one, and so far as cultivation is
concerned the cost is doubled. Now all
this extra work may be thrown away if
the farmer can, by lessening the area,
devote more time and attention to a
smaller space. There will be less hurry,
more thorough cultivation, greater facil.
ity in harvesting, fewer laborers, and bet
ter condition of the working stock. 1t is
in the correct application of labor that
the profits are derived. 1t may be
wasted or misapplied, and thus occasion
bankruptcy instead of prosperity.

DEATH DEALING DARTS.
The Ravages Of a Terrible

That Claims its Victims by Thousands
The Horrors Unearthed Among a Few

Home of the Patent Medicine Man,

atlanta Constitution:
Atlanta, although in many respects re.
garded as healthy city, is not unlike all
other inhabitable portions of the earth,
in claiming her share of victims of the
monarch of all dreaded ailments-blood
poison. A Constitution man was dele
gated to investigate some of the most
notable cases in Atlanta, and in his
rounds made the following appalling dis
coyeries:
Miss Chapman interviewed.
"My name is Mary Chapman, and l
live at the corner of Williams and Cox
streets. 1 have been dreadful sufferer
from scrofula and running, eating scrof-
ulous ulcers for six years. Have been
waited upon during the time by seven
Atlanta physicians, also used various ad.
verLised remedies, without the least ben
eft. The eating sores on my neck were
a mass of corruption almost down to the
bones. My throat became so much
affected that 1 could scarcely swallow,
my food lodging in portion of my
throat. I was reduced to 30 pounds
weight-being mere skeleton. In this
condition I commenced the use of B. B.

bottle. When l had used FIVE bottles my
health had so much improved that the
ulcers had all healed, the swelling sub.

came active, my strength returned and l

H@ Communications from our Farmers
on any matter pertaining to agriculture,

Waste on Farms.

In all branches of business the study
of economy and to have revenue to
draw from makes men successful or un-
successful. If we wish to make farming
a success, it should be governed by the
same rules as- any other business. If
barnyards are properly arranged where
all the washing of the stables are collect.
ed in well, then the liquor manure will
be oil saved. At small expense you
can obtain common pump, and with a
hogshead on wheels with a spreader,
similar to water carts in city to lay the
dust, you have the means at hand to
economic and to utilize valuable man
ure for gardens, pasture fields, &C., in.
creasing the yield twenty-five per cent.
The long manure, &C., should be piled
up and spriukled with plaster, (sulphate
of lime,) thereby you retain all your
ammonia by making salt with the
ground plaster, which is the most costly
ingredient in all artificial manures. By
turning your manure pile, keeping it
moist with the liquor manure, adding
ground plaster from time to time in the
spring, your manure will be concentrated
and will be equal 10 any fertilizer-that
is, if your cattle has been properly fed.
The barnyard manure depends largely
upon the attention you give to it. In
autumn, if the leaves from under trees
and the soil from under old fences be
collected and added to your manure
piles it will increase the richness of the
manure.-American Farmer.

A Tough Regiment.

Jack Stephens, Clerk of the Criminal
Court, tells how it came about that his
regiment was in the late Senator Miller's
brigade but fifteen minutes. Jacks reg
iment was one of the toughest in the
army, and nobody seemed anxious to
have it in his command. After it had
been transferred from one brigade to an.
other and had found nobody who could
control it, Gen. Miller, who was on pretty
good terms with himself and had high
opinion of his ability to control any set
of men, asked to have the tough regi-
ment added to his brigade. There was
no opposition to this, of course, and the
transfer was made. Gen. Miller imme.
diately ordered the regiment up in line
and proceeded to make speech to it,
telling the boys what he was and what
he was not going to suffer them to do.
AS he warmed up to his subject he drew
off his long gauntlets and laid them on
a drum standing near him. Hardly had
he done this when one of the boys in the
line sneaked around behind the General
and, in plain sight of the entire regi-
ment, stole the gauntlets and succeeded
in getting back to his place in the ranks
unobserved by the eloquent General.
At the close of the speech, which did not
take more than ten minutes, the General
dismissed the boys and turned to pick up
his gauntlets. "Well, I'll be blessed p
What he said is not fully reported, but
the fact is known that in five minutes
more he had succeeded in having the
regiment turned over to another brigade.

investigation and injury, more or less

investigation and injury, more or less
scientific.
There are few farmers who appreciate
their opportunities in this direction.
More than any other people, the i'm
provements in their own line have to be
worked out for them. In the machine
shop, in the factory and mill, the inven.
tions in these different lines are being
turned out every day by the men who are
busy at work at these things. In the la.
boratory the man who works with chem.
icals as business is the one who invents
new compounds aud discovers new ele-
ments. But the farmer, who day after
day sows, plants, reaps, feeds, grows an
imals and poultry, goes along in the way
he is most familiar with, grows the vari-
eties and breeds that others have origi-
mated and say are the best.
Probably a farmer will say it will in
terfere with his regular work to be max
ing experiments all the time. He can
not give his time and attention to things
of that sort, because he has to work for
living and make his farm pay. That
is all true; but large amount OF expert
menting may be done without loss OF
time or money, and with the possibility
of splendid returns. In fact, the whole
operations of the farmer may be in some
wise an experiment without any cost OF
time or money.
How many farmers, for instance, have
satisfied themselves, by repeated expert
ment, whether it is best to plant potatoes
whole or cut; cut large or small stem
end or seed end? Yet nothing would be
easier than to try this thing in practice
in every crop planted. How many know
by experience whether it would be best
10 plant corn from the butt or the middle
or the point of an ear of corn. Yet not
minute need be lost in testing it.
We need not enlarge on this subject,
the whole field of agriculture is full OF
possibilities, of which these are mere
suggestions. Keeping this matter in
view would not only add greatly to the
interest in the business of farming, but
always offer the possibility of discovering
something or some method of real value.

How to Have Hard Head Cabbage in
Early Spring.

AS I have so often been asked, Mr..
Editor, of my modus operandi in the cul.
tivation, time of planting, &C., of this
excellent vegetable, thought, if you
deem it worth the notice, 1 would give
the public the benefit of my experience
thereby enabling them to have three
crops instead of two, viz: Spring, Sum.
mer and Winter. The first by its rapid
growth will be equally or more tender
than the latter. 1 will first say, accord.
ing to Buist and it is also my own expe-
rience, that cabbage plants should grow
where planted, should not be transplant.
ed if you expect good percentage to
head. Where not removed ninety.fve
per cent. will head. Where transplanted
about sixty per cent. will head.
About 1st September, after making
your bed very rich and we'll pulverized,
lay it off in checks three feet each way;
put in each check a shovel full of we'll
rotted stable manure; on this place a
little dirt, and then plant on each little
mound four or FIVE seed of Buist's late
improved Drumhead or Flat Dutch.
Later on, as the winter may become
severe, place around each plant being
now thinned out to one in hill, more
manure to keep them warmed up. New
er protect them, if you do, they are lost.
The idea is to get them about half grown
before winter. If too young they can
not survive, and if too old or planted too
early they will mature before freezing
weather. Protecting them renders the
plant more tender and its inability to
stand the freeze. Many of them, prob.
ably half, will be killed down even with
the ground, but should there be the least
speck of green on the stalk it will put
out in early spring and make as fine cab
bage as any. This last winter has been
the longest and severest that we remem-
Der, still I have plants that weathered it
through. They are now nearly three
feet across and commencing to head, and
this growth has been put on in less than
six weeks.
Last year had fine hard cabbage, ten
and twelve pounds, the latter part of
April. Coming in as they do as soon as
any vegetable in the garden, and by
cropping them, as We often do, they
come in long before anything else.-

Experiment all the Time.

There is no question whatever that the
life of farmer is hedged about all the
time with greater quiet and monotony
than that of people engaged in almost
any other pursuit. When accustomed to
this monotony it of course ceases to be
irksome, and then as compensation for
this quiet the farmer enjoys a far greater
immunity from the harassing cares and
vexations of business than any other pro-
fession or calling. But is the dullness of
the farmers life an absolute essential of
the calling?
We think not. 1t is true that he is
necessarily much isolated, but although
deprived of any great variety in his hu
man associations, he is surrounded by
abundant objects of interest, and if he
will but turn his mind in that direction
his whole business may be made one of

and had even allowed the apparatus to
be adjusted, at the last moment exclaim.
