Some writer says chip manure is

up and plant to Irish potatoes, and see
if any thing as cheap is half so good.
Sweet potatoes also produce well in old

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Continuous Production of Ono Crop Not
the Best Practice.

Continuous Production of Ono Crop Not
the Best Practice.
There is probably no system of farm
ing that can be followed that will tend
to ultimate disastrous results or failure
like that of cropping continually with
the same crop. There is hardly any
thing that grows but that requires more
Of some of the chief elements of fertility
than of either of the other two. This
being the case, if the same crop is con-
tinued year after year, even if it is sup
posed that sufficient amount of fer
tility is applied upon the same soil,
there is usually marked deteriora-
ton. About the only exception to
this rule that we know of is the onion;
that really appears to do fully as we'll
and, as some believe, better upon the
same soil; and we have seen where the
crop has been successfully grown for
thirty or more years with as good or bet
ter results than when first used for that
purpose.
But that is an exception to the gener.
al rule. A real injury may be done to
farms by turning the entire energies &c
the production of a single crop. This
principle has been illustrated in the
Connecticut valley where so much has
been done on the production of tobacco
The main aim was the production Of
this crop, and the result was that while
average crops were being produced, il
was in reality at the expense Of ex
hausted fertility of soil, and farm
ers were actually growing poorer
under the system that required extra
expenditure to secure satisfactory crops
and as a result there has been partial
abandonment of the cultivation or turn
ing to more mixing farming.
The same thing has occurred in Vir
GINA from its growth of tobacco; so
too. from the constant cropping will
cotton.
Different sections Of country pursut
different systems, with more or less sue
cess. In the western part of New Yorl
there is followed a system of rotation o
crops, which also includes diversity
and By this means soil is made t
give the best results from the leas
possible application of manure. As
general rule, New England follow

The Southern strawberry Cron.

Advices received at this Office from a
number of our subscribers in Arkansas
go to show that while the strawberry
fields are in bloom there is marked
scarcity of foliage on the plants and the
leading growers are rather discouraged
at the outlook; the prospect is regarded
as not at all flattering. Mississippi
claims about half crop, and so does
Alabama and Louisiana, while Texas
may fare little better. Florida has
just fairly started again. She had about
one-fourth of her crop shipped when the
fatal freeze of the 1st of March set in

A symptom Is Not a Disease.

The suffering rheumatic would look in
credulous if told his rheumatism was not a
disease. Also the sufferer from catarrh,
with his sore tender and exuding nostrils,
if told catarrh was but symptom. Yet
such il IS, in fact The disease from which
man or woman suffers who has rheuma-
tism or catarrh is blood poison. How did
the poison get into the bloodl From various
causes; colds, exposure, indigestion, con-
tagion, etc., may have been the cause. No
matter, your blood is impure, and you will
suffer just so long as this great stream OF
life is clogged with particles of impurity.
Then why not strike at the root or cause Of
your rheumatism or catarrh by annihilat-
Ing the enemies Of good health that exist in
your blood. This can be done by using DR..
Bulls Sarsaparilla. Its Alternative virtue
will quickly cleanse the blood Of every i'm
purity, and thousands have thus by its use
been permanently cured of rheumatism and
catarrh. No other remedy in the world acts
so powerfully and yet so harmlessly as g
blood purifier. 1t conquers as if by magic
all tendency to eruptive, irritating and
painful ailments.
