WASTES OF THE FARM. We spoke last week of the sources of waste on the farm in the want of proper manage ment of manures, particularly in regard to their careless exposure to rains and the con sequent loss through drainage. And when it is considered how great a proportion of the valuable constituents of yard manures are sol üble in water, and consequently easily washed out and lost, it will be found that we have a multitude of sins and short comings to answer for in this direction. If what we have said ghall have the effect to lead any to keep tin ir j manure sheltered aud to apply it directly j from the barn cellar, we shall ieel that we have done some good. Another great source ot waste is to be found in the bad management of pastures. How many farmers take any pains to keep down the wild growths of every discretion that come up in the pastures: the inoss, the bushes, the mulleins, the white weed and all ihe uoxioas plantß that infest our pasture lands ? Pastures are often overstocked, and this leads to deterioration. Some farmers turn in all kind® of stock, like horses, neat cattle or sheep, old and young together, and this is a source of injury and consequent waste. Ui course the mere mention of these mistakes is i sufficient suggestion as to how to remedy theui. As to the effect of sheep .'pon pastures though opinions differ, we have no doubt it is generally beneficial. It is certainly so in tbe eastern parts of the .State, where few sheep are ke; t. and where our pastures have long been fed by dairy' stock, till it takes often from four to six acres to carry a cow. We have seen rough and bushy pastures more 'utproved by heavy stocking with sheep and a daily feeding with colieu seed meal, in one ] season, than we ever saw one improved in j any other way in twice or three times as long j But it may be true that it is belter to change to horn cattle alter two or three years feeding by sheep, aud tbe reverse. Pasture lands properly managed are undoubtedly profitable, aud hence the temptation to crowd and over stock tnerr.. Plaster and ashes mixed in the proporlion of one-third of the former to two thirds of the latter, make an excellent top dressing. But it was not so much to go into details as to how pastures may be improved that led us to speak of them, as to allude to j their general mismanagement as a prominent source of waste. The thrifty farm, r a ill find means to improve them nd keep them im proving. If it is impracticable to ue the yard mauures upon them, he will use plaster or ashe3 or loam. As a general rule it is thought to be better Dot to plough tbem, even where this is practicable, as the herbage on j old pastures, not too badly run out, if j thought to be sweeter and more nutritious! than that of new'v seeded laud. We have j other n ays that are equally good and less ex pensive. The treatment of wood land is another source of waste which on many farms is a se rious one. It is now generally understood to be belter to cut them off clean and to let them grow up again, than to hack and trim them out, a9 many do. The thinning out sys tem, has therefore been abandoned by the most intelligent farmers, leaving the thinning out of young wood lots to the care ot nature. And this we believe to be the best policy. And there is a great want of economy in the catting and preparation of wood for fuel. How lew farmers keep a year's supply on hand, well seasoned, dry and properly hous ed. How few have calculated the loss they sustain in burning green or unseasoned wood. Even the most thorough!/ seasoned wood contains about ten per cent, of water, but green wood contains at least 33 per cent. In drawing or hauling twenty cords of green wood, the farmer hauls at least 20 tons of water, or one hundred and twenty-five barrels aud on burning it green he loses heat enough in evaporating the sap to boil about 12,0(rt galious of water. It is poor economy there fore, to trouble the folks in the kitchen so much with the use of green wood. Let it be seasoned and dried under cover and kept in good supply. 'A'ho can estimate the cost and the loss in fencing in this Commonwealth? How many old walls and division fences that ought to come down aud be got out of the way ? Thou sands ot acres are occupied with useless fence the farms cut up so as to increase the difficul ties of running the mowing machine, and all toe labors of the farm multiplied by frequent turnings in ■. loughiig or using any other ma chine on ihe farm. It i s a subject worth looking after with great care, and it will be found that necessary fences constitute a very serious source of waste and expense on a large number of farms.— Jtass. Ploughman. PROFITS OF FARMING. At recent discussion at the New York Fur t .era' Club in reference to the cash money profits of farming, it seemed to be generally conceded that the business failed to yield seven per cent, ou the capital invested. We were somewhat surprised that none of the debators thought of giving the farm credit for the three great necessaries of Hie —house rent, table supplies and fuel. Viewed in this light, farming is the safest and best investment that can be made of capital. Take for instance. $20,(100; let it be judiciously invested in a moderate amonnt of land, and all the stock and implements necessary to its successful cultivation. The proceeds from such an in vestment will support a family in a degree of comfort, and even luxury, that would cost six or seven thousand a year here in New York: and where is the safe, honorable mercantile or mechanical pursuits tbat will yield six thousand a year on a twenty thousand dollar investment? The profits of farming, except in a rare instance, will be found to diminish as we intend our operations beyond what is requisite for the comfortable support of a family, and this may be done as well on a thousand acres of land, and this is a strong argument for the subdivision of the great landed estates of the South.— Turf, Field and Farm. ROADSIDE IMPROVEMENTS. ioo often, as we have traveled over the vountry this summer, have wo wituetsed a hue house, good buildings, and fence-lino ' untaining more or less rubbish, evidently the gatherings and pruning of the garden and ait n trees. Sometimes the street or road way is clear of this; but while the grass is c ipped inside the fence, tbat outside is left to g'ow long and rank, with more or less coarse weeds, presentingjust that appearance ,° 8 m * n * grounds that the finding of a eap ot >t under the lounge would to the ojsewi e, and giving him in our view no claim to a better name than would be applied to such a housewife. Our horticultural readers should each and Btr,ve to make the outward appearance of their grcuads cW, neat and tasteful, f lrs t by keeping away all rubbish from the street, next by frequent mowing and destruction of weeds, and lastly by planting and caring for shade trees and flowering shrubs, giving themselves pleasure, and attracting notice from every passer-by: and again, as an ex ample to those of their neighbors, who not being readers or have not learned to move out of their original tracks, continue to make brush piles, keep hog-pens, and grow thistles, mullein, etc., in front of their house— The.

"Well, then," said she, "I came home drunk last night, aud ought to be asb&med of myself." MY first is what lies at the door; my second is a kind of corn; my third is what no body can do without, and my whole is one of the United States. Mat-ri-mony. A "CULTIVATOR" was espied by a party of Nashville negroes, when one said : "A man can jist sit on dat ting an' ride while he's plowing." "Golly," said auother, "de ras cals was too sharp to think o' dat 'fore de niggers was sot free." Two Gentlemen were conversing about wealth, when one observed : "I don't care to be rich, but I would like enough so that I conld live'on four per cent. ot my property." "Weil," said the other, "I am not so ambi tious. I should be satisfied with sufficient tor j two per cent, to maintain me." A MAINE cotemporary describes a flag raising at which there was "a very large as semblage," and the opposition journal says there was only two men and three boys pres ent at the affair. Some one must have a very slender hold on the truth. THE following may be set down as one of the best jokes of the season: Baptist Brother —I don't like your church government. It isn't simple enough. There's too much machinery about it. Methodist Brother—lt is true, we have more machinery than you; but then, you see it don't late near so much t rater to run it. ONE WORD MORE. —"Father, I think you told a fib in the pulpit to-day," said a little son of a clergymas. "Why, what do you mean ?" "You said, 'One word more and I have done.' Then ycu went on and said a great many more words. The people expected you'd leave off, cause you'd promised them. But you didn't and kept on preaching a long while after the time was up." "Do THEY." —A wager was laid that it was a Yankee peculiarity to answer one ques tion by another. To sustain the assertion a down Easter was interrogated. "I want you said the latter, "to give me a straightforward answer to a plain question.'' "I kin do it, mister," said the Yankee. "Then why is it that New Englanders al ways answer a question by asking one?"' "Du they ?" was Jonathan's reply. A DANDY strutting about a tavorn, took up a pair of green spectacles which lay on the table, put them on his nose, and turning to the looking glass, said: "Landlord, bow do these become me ? Don't you think I hey improve my looks ?" "I think they do," re plied the landlord, "they hide a part of your face." ASKING TOO MCCH.—A young couple were sttting together in a romantic spot, with birds and flowers about them, when the fol lowing dialogne ensued : "My dear, if the sacrifice of my life would please thee, gladly would I lay it at thy feet." "Ob, sir, you're too kind. But it just re minds me that I wish you would stop using tobacco." "Can't think of it. It's a habit to which I am wedded." '•Very well sir. Since this is the way you lay down your life for me, and as you are al ready wedded to tobacco, I'll take good care that you are never wedded to me, as it would be bigamy." Aktemfs Wabd once had an adventure in Boston which resulted as follows: I returned in the hoss cart part way. A pooty girl in spectacles sot near me, aud was tellin'ayonng man how much be reminded her of a young man she used to know in IV'ai tham. Pooty soon the young man got out, and smiling in a seductive manner, I said to the girl in spectacles: "Don 't I remind you of some one you used to know ?" "Yes," she said, "you do remind me of one man, but he was sent to the penitentiary for stealin' a barrel of mackeral; ho died there, so 1 concloodyou ain't him." I didn't pursoo the conversation.
