AGRICULTURE. 8HOCLI) THERR Not BK A CHANGE OF CROPS? —Over and over again experience has shown that in those districts where a diversified style of agricwitus* is carried on the average profits of a series of years are greater than when the producer is depend ent on one thing. Noting this, some teach ers go on the opposite extreme, aud would plant equally of all crops, and follow equal ly every branch of farming. But we hold that that is as great an error as to follow out too closely the one idea. Just now the agriculturists of the South are getting tfieir annual advice to grow less cotton and more corn. It is even said that the ''grangers" have incorporated this advice as one of the leading articles of faith in their South ern creed. But from all we have read and noted, the South with all its lovo for cot ton never had hall so much a drug as some of the Eastern States have had of wheat or corn. It is the wisest policy for'every farmer to have some one leading feature ou which to j depend that he finds his soil and climate best fitted for, or his market the most en- j couraging for him to produce. These may 1 possibly fail; and in view thereof other things should be grown which will work in with the others, aud bring in something certain when failure comes. Diversifica tion m this case is a little more than the principle ot insurance, to which any pru dent meiehant likes to devote a small per centage of his capital; bat the percentage is always small—he would not like to de vote very much, nor would the farm capi talist devote very much, on its insurance crops. The South can grow cotton better than any part of the world. When there is a good crop it is very profitable, and it is raicly so alnmdant but there is some pr tit made. We doubt whether the ad vice to grow more com and less cotton is wise, or if wise would ever be taken. One might £8 well tell an lowa man to grow less ccrn and more wheat or oats. For miles and miles through that State one 6ces nothing but corn, yet though in any one year it brings but ten cents per bushel, one sees as much the Dt xt year as ever. And why? because w biat and oat 9 never do as well, never yield the same profit. It has teen shown, by what seems to be a careful average of years, that corn yields in lowa three-fourths more profit than wneat, and dtuble that of oats. With these facts, which intelligent larmerssoon understand, though those with liay-seed merely in their hair do not, it would be idle to tell an lowa n an he must grow less corn, because once in a while there is an over-stock, and the same principle holes good in cotton cul ture. EASILY SPCIIJED. —Of all the products of the farm, butter is the mast liable to L>e tainted by noxious odors floating in the at mosphere. Our people laid some veal in the cellar, fiom which a little bloi d flowed out and was neglected until It had com menced to smell. The result was that a jar of butter we were packing smelled and tasted like spoiled beef. We know of an instance where there was a pond of filthy, stagnant water a few hundred feet from the bouse, lrom which an offensive tffluvi um wonld be borne on the breeze directly to the milk-rcom when the wind was in a certain direction, the result of which was that the cream and butter would taste like the disagreeable odor coming from the pond. As soon as the pond was drained there was no more damaged butter. It is remarkable how easily butter is spoiled. SAYS the Urovcr s Journal: What young breeders and feeders want to learu how to Go, is to make the most valuable animals for the buicher, at the earliest age practicable. Everybody knows that by heavily feeding already fat old cattle, from year to year, enormous weight can bo ob tained. Monstrous bovine, "mountains of grease" can be made, but they are not what the butchers want except on rare oc casions, such as celebrations and the like, when many people are willing to eat bau beef and think it nice, just because it came from the carcass of a huge show steer. Early development is what we want. Th ise immense steers of 3,000 pounds or morc are well enough to look at, but except for show they are worth little, bemg profit able to neither producer, butcher nor con suiner. ECONOMY is TOK LELLA.B. —In the ma jority of cellars there has been 6tored for family use for feeding domestic animals, or for future marketing, a quantity of fruits aßd vegetables, such as apples, turnips, beeta, pumpkins, etc, A certain portion of these fruitsand roots will during the win, ter, comnence to decay, especially if the condition of the cellar is not favorable for keeping them. Another portion will be found, upon assorting them over, to be unfit for market or for table use. The af fected or infirm specimens should not be allowed to remain in the cellar to pollute the air m rooms above with noxious odors; but they should be turned to good account by feeding them to stock. IT has been proven by numerous experi ments that the shorter the time lietween milkiDgs the richer the milk. In one case when a cow was milked twice a day, 12 Hours apart, the milk gave twelve and a h&lf per cent, of cream, and when milked five times a day, seventeen and a half per cent. If, therefore, the time between the milking varies, as commonly, the milkiDg following closest to the previous one will give the richest milk. Cows milked at half past six in the evening and half past four in the morning will be pretty sure to give the richest milk in the mornire. though this is partly caused by the more undisturbed time which they have at night when unharrassed by flies, etc. BUTTER MAKING. —Keep only those cows ihat yield butter of good c lor, flavor and texture. There are some cows from which no one can get good butter. Feed only good, sweet food, .he beet for butter being earlv cut timothy and clover hay and conn meal, and give only pure water. Ob serve the most scrupulous cleanliness in the stable and dairy. Keep the cows in good health and contented. Use a churn that brings the butter in thirty minutes. Keep the temperature or the milk and cream as Dear sixty degrees as possible, and churn the cream when slightly sour. GRUBS.— Grubs in the head of sheep are believed to be caused by the gadfly which deposits its eggs in the nostrils of sheep during the summer and autunm; although they cause much pain, they are not usually fatal To prevent them, apply tar to ihe noses of the sheep occasionally during July and August, or smear the feeding troughs with tar. To cure the sheep when the grubs are once hatched, blow tobacco smoke up the nostrils, or syringe the nose with a decoction of tobacco. ONE dollar's worth of food when the cow is dry is worth one dollar and fifty cents' worth after she comes in. A a animal in poor condition cannot digest as much food as an animal in good conditior. Two million acres of land in the State of Florida have been purchased by .European capitalists. A transaction which may largely effect the future interests o the llerr Zander, a German musical direc tor, bas made public some interesting ob servations on the relations between the condition of the human voice and thst ot lhe weather. He says that apart from the inevitable changes in the intonation, purity, and strength of the voice resulting from physical variations, such as illness, nerv ous tension, and the like, he has noted other influences of a barometrical nature that seem to indicate approaching changes in the weather. In clear weather al>out to change into that of a dismal, rainy charac ter his voice became weak, and showed a tendency to grow deeper. In wet weather about to clear up and become dry and bra cing, the opposite was the case. The voice became bright, clear, and strong, and was disposed to strike too high a pitch Herr Zander was director of a church choir and teacher of singing in a high school for many years, and had ample opportunity of verifying these conclusions. [Port Huron Commercial] Charles Nelson, Esq., Proprietor Nelson House, speaking to us lecently, observed: I suffered so much with Rheumatism that my arm withered, and physiciaua could not help me. I was In despair of my life, when some 000 advised me to try St. Jacob's Oil. I did so, and as If by magio 1 was instantly relieved, and by tne con tinued use of the Oil entirely cured. I thank heaven for having used this wonderful remedy, for it saved my life. It also cured my wife. Good results are said to be obtained from this method ot copperinc and bronz ing zinc: Prepare a solution of 16 parts of blue vitriol and one of 19 parts of cyanide of potassium, and mix them both together, incorporate this liquid well with 160 parts of pipe-clay and rub the resulting semi fluid, by means of a linen rag, on the pre viously cleaned object. For bronzing, take 16 parts of verdigris, 12 of cream of tartar ard 30 of crystalized soda; reduce them to powder and dissolve them In the necessary amount of water. Mix this liquid with 160 parts of pipe clav, and then proceed as above directed. This is another process: Take 16 grammes of blue vitriol, 20 of calcined 6oda, and 32 cubic centimeters of glycerine, and when these substances are thoroughly incorporated mix tbe paste tluu obtained with 80 grammes of pipe-clay. The mixture is to be applied as above de scribed. [Fort Wayne (In<L) Sentinel] When about twelve years old, said Mr. Geisman, of the Globe Chop House to our representative, 1 met with an accident with a horse, by which my skull was fractured, and ever since 1 have suffered witu the most excrusiating rheumatic pains. Of late I applied St. Jacob's Oil Which has given me almost total relief. A new tneory tor 'he cementation pro cess for the conversion of iron Into steel has been advanced. It has been observed that when amorphous carbon in an impal pable powder is kept in contact with por celain at a temperature considerably above redness, but not sufficient for tne laiter to become fused, the carbon will, if kept for a number of hours, diffuse into the porce lain and ultimately permeate it throughout. The conversion of wrought iron into steel by the cementation process may be consid ered as analagous to this—that is to say. the result of diffusion of carbon in an impalpable powder into the bars of iron while they are m an expanded or soft sta e.

It seems impossible that a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, <kc,, should make so many and such great cures as Hop Bitters do ; but when old and young, rich and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and editor, all testify to having been cared by them, you must believe and try them yourself, and doubt no longer. Among the objects found in one of the old tombs near the village of Sewersk, in the Sakubar district of southern Russia, were two elaborately ornamented glass vessels, hooped with gold rings, set with rubies, supporting chains which had at the ends heart-shaped pearls.
