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.

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.

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

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. Besides these
relics were discovered a golden cup-hold
er, with two griffins in bas-relief, and a
golden plat*} with a historical representa
tion, also in bas-relief. It is thought by
M. Felizin that these relics beloug to the
time of Persiad 11., who began to reign in
the year 284 B C., and that the grave in
which they were deposited was that of a
great personage.
