farm, CUMJtpN SENSE IN FARMING'.* A discussion before the Board of Agricuj ture of Maine, on what "is called " Mixeil Farming," h* many good suggestion* that will be of profit to those who give them consideration. It contains an element which is not always found in discussions of matters connected with agricultnre, and that is the element of common sense. Til our opinion farming has been conducted from time im memorial with too little regard to the teach ings of common sense. In old times it was < the custom for sens to take bohl of the larms, and manage them just as their fathers did. without inquiring whether this was the best way. They put in the crops at the s&metime, in the same month, and cultivated them in the same way, and got just about the same retnrns. Whereas, if they had exercised a little common sense, they might have had some other crop that would have been far more profitable, or a much more abundant yield of the same. They did not reason about the matter, but followed a track which bad been well beaten before them. Farmers at the present day, especially what may be called fancy farmers, have gone to the other extreme. With them the cardi nal virtue haj been to disregard the past, to strike out some entirely new course, to do all their farming on some particular theory to which everything must be made to conform. If they have not taken to raising hobby-hor ses, they have taken to riding hobbies, until many a one has been ridden to death. Every farmer ought to be a reading and thinking man, looking into what is new, to see what value there may be in it; but farm ing Isf-enfinently a "practical business, to be conducted fret so much on theory<as on expe rience. A theory maybe very splendid, but if it does not work well, it is worth nothing at all. An inventor of some fertilizing mate rial, for instance, may make it as clear as the sun, ou paper, that it contains all that is re quisite to insure an abundance of this or that particular crop; but it does not cause the crop to grow, if it proves a faiiure when it comes to be applied to the soil, it will not'be worth any more to the farmer than a recipe for making moonshine out of cucumbers. The great thing for each and every man to do, after getting all the suggestions and infor mation that he can, from ethers and from books, is to exercise his own common sense in cultivating his grounds. Let him not he governed by any mere theory, or by any iron rule of the past,but by.the nature of his soil t the sitn&tion of his farm, the circumstances of his family, and a variety ot considerations which cannot here be named; but especially by his own observation and experience npon his own farm. Experience is the result of experiment, and this should not always he conducted in one direction; but common sense should be the judge to which all questions should be left for decision.—.V. Y. Observer. IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN. Experiments have demonstrated, and anal ogy has shown, that the finest and best sam ples of seed, continued for years, will improve the quality and quantity of the product. A better wheat is thus raised; even a variety may be established. On this principle, (in farm stock), we have the Shorthorns, the blooded horses, and the different breeds of sheep, swine, poultry, etc. Experiments have not been made on the human species; but the same, no donbt, holds good here. We plant and sow "as it comes." We take the seed of the same grain that we use in the aggregate, and sow it. Is not this the case almost universally? Corn is an exception to some extent —but why do we except corn? Because it is handy to select. But why select at all? Because it is understood to be good. Analogically, then, it is good to do the same with wheat, oats, barley, etc. But this isless easily [done; we therefore neglect it. Qow long will it take a farmer to go through bis wheat, and secure the finest and ripest heads sufficient to sow an acre, or half an acre, or a quarter —or even a pint of seep? This pint sowed will be sufficient to form a test crop. The best heads taken from this again, and sowed, will yield another test crop, from which should be taken ao befora;. and so on for a number of years, say half a dozen, more still better. But three or four years will work a decided difference. But the thing should be continued from seiected wheat eve ry time. In this way grain can be improved and crops enlarged. There will be larger grains, earlier maturity, and better growth. —Rural World. PIASTER OK PARIS.—A correspondent of the Ploughman having asked to be informed of the most proper season of the year for the application of plaster to pasture lands for renovation; also the best method of applying the same, the quantity per acre necessary for a fair trial, and the quality of land to which it is best adapted—the editor replies as fol lows: "We think the early spring the best season, say the latter part of March or early in April. We would sow it broadcast at the rate of about two hundred pounds to the acre. Hilly pastures with a northern aspect and a moist mossy soil, are most benefitted by its applica tion. On granite soil or soils throughout the gneiss formation, which usually contain more or less potash, plaster works promptly and cflectively. But on locations where it has not been found to work well, it should be applied in connection with wood ashes. Where plas ter has any perceptible effect at all, it brings in a luxuriant growth of white clover and otherwise improves the grass. Many farmers apply it regularly once in two years, and find it the cheapest and most economical dressing they can apply. It ought to be fresh ground. The dark variety is thought to be the strong est and best." _ BED TOVR STABI.ES. —A horse, remarks the Rural World, will get tired of standing and treading on a hard floor; so will a cow, a sheep, a man. A soft bed feels easy—gives rest. And yet we neglect the bedding of our stables, to a great extent. Injured dirnbs and other ailments, especially of the hoof, are the results often of a neglect here, as has been clearly enough shown, as as any man can clearly enough see, if he gives the subject a moment's thought. Bed with straw, which is plenty, or sawdust, or tan-bark, or shavings. Ihe dryer these materials are the better. Every day remove the moistened bedding, and replace with new. Such afloor, well bedded, adds greatly to tire warmth of a stable, and thus becomes a fodder saver. The small holes and crevices in a floor, with agood bed ding upon them, will let little or no cold through, and will drain the Btable. Rather have a ground floor than a hard naked plank. —American Farmer. ■mm nr| most.difficult #<uki tw grow is that ot the cherry, Abe want of success is to be ascribed to t*o causes. The first isa lack of care and good tools in getting the scion; but the second and principal Is the late period at which the scions are cut. When the cherry bud is once swollen, it js very difficult to get it to grow. They should, therefore, be cut before there is any sign of swelling.

A FARMER says his wagon tires "wear out before tbev get loose," and the reason is, he saturates the felloes thoroughly with linseed oil before the tires are set The felloes are placed in hot oil for about one hour, and are thus rendered perfectly water-proof, so that the shrinking and swelling that loosen the tire are prevented. |lumorou& TIIERE are two directly opposite reasons •why a man cannot sometimes get credit; one is, because he is not known; and the other, because he JJ • CASTI.F.S in the air—Chignons.
