The first impression made by the
smoke of tobacco is through the blood.
and inasmuch as the whole volume Of
blood courses through the body in from
three to five seconds The indications
of its effect, from tho many compounds
Of which il is composed, are felt uni
versally in the young smoker. After
short time. as the blood becomes
charged with the poisons, the organic
nervous chain and the organs it sup
plies are powerfully impressed.

man can constantly smoke foul pipe
without being constantly a martyr TO

produce dyspepsia very quickly, for in
smoking them nicotine is more rapidly
absorbed.
Smoking, as every one knows. de-
stroys appetite and enfeebles digestion.

Working Corn.

We assume that corn has been
worked the first time. and that the
main crop on upland is now in good
order, with a good stand. 1t should
now be the object OF the farmer to
push the plants forward as rapidly as
possible. The richer or more highly
fortified the soil the more rapidly it
should be cultivated the oftener it
should be plowed for the simple rea-
son that it will give larger returns for
additional cultivation. There are
doubtless thousands of acres now
there, and occasionally whole fields
whose final yield will barely pay the
expense of three plowings. Such
land should not have been planted at
all; having been planted. it were bet
ter perhaps TO do the next best thing:
turn it out for a summer pasture, or
SOW down in peas.
Make it point to go over the corn
as often as once in two weeks at least;
every ten days would be better. pro
vided a rain has fallen in the mean
time. To do this at smallest expendi
ture OF time, barrow or widc-expand-
ing cultivator is almost Indispensable
Five civilizations at intervals OF two
weeks will cover just eight weeks, or
from, say April Is to June 10, by which
time corn will be in condition to lay by.
With a wide cultivator, this can be
done with ten burrows, or Ii we allow
four burrows with smaller pillow at first
blowing, twelve burrows in all. Three
plowings, three weeks apart (the old
rule) would carry the crop to, say June
% but with the narrow, deep-running
implements would require probably
not less than twelve to fourteen fur
rows in all. Which is the cheaper
method, and which will give the larger
yield? Somebody try it and report re-
suits.

main benefits of it could be obtained

Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Haw-
kins on the legality Of dishorning
cattle. Tie case came before them by
way OF appeal from decision of the
Norfolk magistrates at the Blofeld
Petty Sessions. Mr.. Wiley, a Norfolk
farmer, had been summoned at the in
stance Of the Society for the Proven
tion OF Cruelty TO Animals for having
unlawfully and cruelty tortured thirty
two bulIocks by dishorning them.
The facts were In no dispute. Mr..
Wiley admitted that he had done what
was alleged. and gave every facility to
the officers of the society for ascer-
tanning how it had been done. and In
what state the animals operated upon
had been left. That the operation, as
performed on Mr.. Wiley's farm, had
been attended with intense and pro-
longed suffering to the animals was
clearly proved. and does not sssm to
