sarra, HIGH FARMING. Except in the neighborhood of large cities, "High Farming" may not P y, ow.ng to the feet that we have so much land. Bui wheth er this is so or not, there can be no doubt that the only profitable system of farming >s, to raise large crops on such land aa we cultivate, s High farming gives us large crops and many of them. At present, while we have to much land in proportion to popa'ation. we must, perhaps, be content with large crops of grain, and few of them. We must adopt the slower but less expensive weans of enriching our land from natural sources, rather than thi j quicker, more artificial and costly means adopted by many farmers in England, and by market gardeners, seed growers, and nursery men in the country. Labor is so high that , we cannot afford to raise a small crop. If we sow but half the number of acres and double ( the yield, we should quadruple our profits. 1 j have made up my mind to let the land lie in j clover three years instead of two. ibis wilt lessen the number of acres under cultivation, and enable as to bestow morecare in plowing and cleaning it. And the land will be richer and produce better crops. *h® atmosphere is capable of supplying a certain quantity cf ammonia to the soil in rains and dews every year, and by giving the wheat crop a three years supply instead of two years, we gein so much. Piaster the clover, top dress it in the fall, if you have the manure, and stimulate iu growth in every way possible, and consume all the clover on the land os in the barnyard. Do not sell a tingle ton: let not a weed grow, and the land will certainly improve. The first object should be to destroy weeds. I do not know how it is in other sections, but with us the majority of farmers are complete ly overrun with weeds. They are eating out the life of the land, and if something is not done to destroy them, even the present high prices cannot make farming profitable. A farmer yesterday was contending that it did pay to summer fallow. He has taken a run down farm, and a year ago last spring he plow ed up ten acres of a field, and sowed it to bar ley and oats. The remainder of the field he summer fallowed, plowing it four times, and rolling and harrowing thoroughly after each plowing. After the barley and oats were off. he plowed the land cnce, harrowed it and sowed Mediterranean wheat. On the summer fallow he drilled in Diehl wheat. He has just thrashed and got 2'd bushel- per acre of Mediterranean wheat after the spring crop, at one plowing, and 20 bushels per acre of Diehl wheat on the summer-fallow. This.be said, would not pay, as rt cost hitn S2O per acre to summer fallow, and he lost the use of the land or one season. Now this may be all true, and yet it is no argument against summer-fal lowing. Wait a few years. Farming is slow work. Geddss remarked to me. when I told him I was trying to renovate a run down farm, "yon will find it tbe work of your life." We ought not to expect a big crop on poor, run down land, simply by plowing it three or four times in as many months. Time is required for the chemical changes to take place in the soil. But watch tbe effect on the clover for the next two years, and when the land is plowed again, see if it is not in far better con dition than the part not summer fallowed. 1 should expect the clover on the summer fal low to be fully one-third betlcr in quantity, and of better quality, than on the other part, and this extra quantity of clover will make an extra quantity of good manure, (and there will be more clover roots in tbe land) and thus we have the means of going on in im proving tbe farm.— Walks and Talks on the Farm in the American Agriculturist. EXPERIMENT IS KILLING GIUBS.— Mr. Skinner of the Herkimer Co., Farmers' Club says, that salt had been recommended as a specific for ridding the soil of worms. Last spring he plowed up an old sod where there was an immense quantity of g'uba. He sowed upon three and three-fourths acres, soon after plowing, two barrels coarse salt. A day or two after the application there was rain, which dissolved most of the salt. The ground wag then thoroughly harrowed and planted to corn. About half a pint of leaebed ashes wag placed upon each hill of corn. The yield of corn wgg very large and ifot a jiill wag injured by worms. He had no doubt, had there been no application of salt, that the grubs would have destroyed the corn. How TO CURE A COLD. —The moment a man is satisfied he has taken a cold, let him do three things: First, eat nothing; second, go to bed in a warm room and cover up; fhird drink as much cold water as he can; and in three c ?e s out of four, he will be well in thirty-six hoars. To neglect a cold for forty eight hours after the cough commences, is to place himself beyond cure, until the cold has run its course, of about a fortnight. Warmth keeps the pores of the skin open, and relieves it of the. surplus which oppresses it, while ab stinence cuts off the supp'v of material for phlegm which would otherwise be coughed A correspondent of the Journal of Ag _ riculture has found that eight bushels of s ' and one of plaster will canse an acre of cloy loam to produce more than an equally ex pensive application of tan-yard manure. tumorous.

The cable being laid, this Company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means cf communication, which must 1 command there, as everywhere else, the commu* nications of the Government, of business, and of social life, especially in China. She has no pos i **l system, and her only means now of communi cating information is by couriers on land, and by ! steamers on water. ? ! The Western World knows tbt China a j very large country, in the main densely peopled; . but a few yet realize that she contains more than 1 a third of the human raca. The latest returns | made to her central authorities for taxing purpo ses by the local magistrates make her population Four Hundred and Fourteen Million s, and this is more likely to be under than over the actual ag j gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, not only can but do read and write, j Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex j ceedingly quick to avail faemselves of every proffered facility for procuring early information. It is observed in California that tbo Chinese make great use ef the telegraph, though it there trans mite messages in English alone. To day great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclusively for the transmission of early, intelligence. If the tele j graph we propose, connecting all their great sea- ! ports, were now in existence, it is believed that ; its business would psy the cost within the first two years of its sutccssful operation, and would steadily increase thereafter.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re ' quired by everybody a* a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adapted into use. in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cu-es their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it dues ai way a--that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certitic&tes of th?ir remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ace* and con ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugarcoating preserves them ever fresh and uiakes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm cau arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other orgaus of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, uch derangements as are the first origiu of di*- sase. Minute directions are giveu in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listlessncs*, Lan guor and Logs of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, Bil'ou* Headache. Sick Headache. Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be judiciously taken for each < ase, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it For Dysentery or Diarrhoe, but one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatism, Gout. Gravel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a large dose should betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels toierabiy well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
