LABOR IN FARMING. The farmer baa got to work himself rich. There is no getting away from this; mere Cal culation will Dot do it, though it may be a necessary forerunner. The land moat be worked not only mellow, but continued to be worked, stirred as much as may be, the more the better. This hits two birds with one stone; it mellows the ground and enriches it, and what is best per haps of all, it costs nothing whence it comes —from the atmosphere, where it is free for all. This stirring takes it in, mixes the air with the soil, and the soil at once takes up its fer tility. This continued, there is a continual increase of fertility; hence the more it is stir red the better. Besides, when the soil is made loose, por ous. the air will get in of its own accord the, ground lying undisturbed, but porous enough to admit it and the rains wash down the fer tility which they carried from the atmosphere; the soil is mellow enongh to do this, not bar ing the water standing on it dead without any use, souring the soil, which is hurtful. Hence the doctrine of frequent stirring of the soil. We know by special experience that this is true. We have tried it iD the field and in the garden, but particularly in the lat ter, one season using no manure and relying wholly upon the atmosphere by stirring the soil. Though the soil had been exhausted, the garden proved an unusually good one. Since then we cannot too much favor work ing in the garden, and cultivating the hoed crops, and always with the same results. We have not mentioned the moisture which is produced in the operation. This is indeed considerable, and in a drouth indispensable. Our garden was worked in a drouth. This is labor, and it is gratifying to know that the more we do the more we get benefit ed—that the benefit is in proportion to the labor. Each farmer therefore should direct his farm operations to this effect, so as to get a chance to work, not to run over the land to get the work done. The effort to save and apply manure is another branch of labor. Nothing pays bet ter than this. It is to your interest to take pains to prevent it from being lost after it is made and then apply it properly. All these things are important and when taken togeth er form a very important feature. This much for the land, which, however, has many other claims upon oar labor; bnt the two mentioned are the principal ones. Next comes the great stock department. Here we can employ labor with profit to a large extent, labor first and most important, in securing the fodder properly. Unless this is done stock cannot be well kept. Plans must be taken to secure hay and the straw of grain early and in a tender condition, proper ly cured. Efforts must go to secure this care as well as labor. Then, warm quarters pro vided, and there must be attention given. The stables must be kept clean and dry; this by using Jitter, sawdust, straw, leaves, dried muck, Ac., and daily seen to, daily comfort given to the sensitive family at the barn. Feed carefully, plentifully, and curry your stock; it pays. Cut your fodder mostly. This is helping to masticate it for your stock. Cook it, steam it, or scald it. We know this is discontinued by many that once engaged in it. but this is on account of the labor. See to it then, farmers, that you make use of it. To sum up, it should be the object of the farmer to seek to get labor rather than do as little as possible, for this is the lever that lifts him along. It is the profit ou the labor in vested that is the principle of farming.— Pra : rie Farmer. SALT IN AGRICULTURE. Few farmers are aware of the value of common salt as manure. It is one of the cheapest and most abundant of all substances used as a fertilizer, and cau easily be obtain ed for agricultural purpose*. Ooe peck of salt in each cord of compost, will not only hasten tbe decomposition of the manures, Lut will kill seed and all grub a very desirable effect. The c.ops especially benefitted by this mauure are Asparagus, the Mangel Wortzel, beets and heat. In the ordinary use upou she farm it would be best to mix it with lime in some form. Sa' and plaster mixed in the proportion ot one barrel of the former to two of the latter, make an excellent manure. The effect is not so plainly seen in the increased quautity as iu the quality. Salt is chloride of sodium, and v hen the coride is liberated in the new soil the soda goes to form new compounds. Yn experiment was tried at the Massachu setts Agricultural College, to test the impor tance of salt as manure. Last spring two lots were selected, upon which eight bushels of it were sown broadcast, to the acre. One field was planted with potatoes the other sown with oats. The result was, that the crop of pota toes was greatly incieastd, while that of the oats was nearly doubled. At.siKK CLOVER fun BEE PASTURAGE.— Early in ihe year 186S, I parchased a pound oi the teed, which I sowed upon a small piece of land (about a quarter of au acre,} though too much seed for the quantity of land. It germinated well, aud, like the red clover, only made a good stand. But in the spring of 18t,9 ii came up well, aud nn the lGth of lane it would stand, if erect, twenty to thirty inches high, and was covered with blossoms and bees. Indeed, I have rarely seen bees more numerous ou buckwheat blooms than on this clover. 1 shall sow a lot of buck wheat for fall pasturage; but for May and •'une, I thiok the alsike clover furnishes more ood than any plant I have over 6een. When not too cool or rainy for them to be out, you will find the catch covered with bees pretty well all day, and at times almost in swarms. 1 hey have sent forth a goodly number of swarms, and filled the bodies of the hives weli with store honey. The alsike yields an abundant crop of hay, not so much as the red Ciuver, but the sweets furnished to the bees more than make up any difference. The bloom is like that of the white clover, folding back in such away as to enable tbe bees to get into every part of it: while on the red clover, coming up in the same patch, you never see. KEEPING FOWLS IS WlNTEß.— Breeders should understand that nothing is gaioed by letting fowls shift for themselves in"the win ter. They need the best care, and will pay tenfold in the end for ihe trouble. Let reg ularity be observed in feeding, and above a!! things do not fail to supply them regulany with pure cold water. Do not trust to their supply of water from the snow—you might as well debar cattle from the use of wauJ. he cause there is plenty of snow upon the ground, as fowls. Keep the henneries warm and dry, ana supply them w,th sand, burnt oyster and mam shells and coal ashes. Feed fowls with good wholesome food—corn, oats, wheat screenings and buckwheat. Give them meat once a week, and they will "shell out" early in mtd-wioter and pay the trouble. Recol lect, nothing is made by a "make-shift" care fowls in col.l weather-it's poor economy. p)R SALE.

Romulus was a founder also, but his line was the Roman capital, whereas Bes ley is more of the old English type. A CORK paper publishes tbe following erra tum; "The words printed 'pigs and coirs' in Mr. Parker's letter on the land question, which appeared in yesterday's issue, should have been pros and cons." A PARISIAN editor pestered a prominent official with offers of newspaper assistance. The minister endured it for sometime, but finally replied; "My dear friend, you are mis taken: if geese did once save the capital, it wa not with their quills." "ALAS!" said a moralizing bachelor, within ear snot of a witty young lady of the company " this world is at best but a gloomy prison!" "Yes," sighed the merciless minx, "es pecially to the poor creature doomed to solitarv confinement." A SCOTCHMAN having to ride a half starved,broken-winded horse a long distance, repeatedly paused during the journey at road side inns, where, after refreshing him self with a gill of whiskey, he would com placently remark to the wretched animal, "Aweel' frien', we've refreshed our twa puir bodies, let's e'en jog OD."

A CLERGYMAN in a country parish in Eng land, had a stranger preaching for him one j 'lay, and meeting his beadle, he said to him, "Well, Saunders, how did you like the ser mon to-day?"—"l watna, sir, it was rather o'er plain and simple for me," replied the beadle. "I like the sermons that bae jumbles the joodgment and confounds the sense ; od, sir, I never saw, ane that could come up to yoursel' at that" PAT AND THE MAGISTRATE.— "PIease your lordship's honor and glory," replied Tom, "I shot the hare by accident," —"By acci dent?" remarked Captain O'Halloran. "I was tiring at a bush and the baste ran across my aim, all on his own accord."—" The gamekeeper tells a different story," replied his lordship. "Och! don't put faith in what that man says," said Tom Ryan, "when he never cares about spakin' the truth anyhow. He tould me t'other day yer lordship was not so fit to fill the seat of justice as a jackass !'' —" Ay, ay," exclaimed Viscount Kilskid dery, "indeed! and what did you say?"— •TTuise your lordship, 1 said your lordship was." A GENTLEMAN from lllin lis, who thought himself peculiary fitted to represent the conn try abroad, followed Mr. Lincoln with great ; pertinacity, buttonholing him Btall times and in every place without the slightest mercy. Finally the President, with a pleasant smile, asked if he could speak Spanish. "No." "Well, learn Spanish, and I'll tell you of a good thing you can get." After three months ot hard study the would-be diplomat returned to tbe charge, reminding tbe President of his promise, and assuring him that he bad thor oughly mastered the Spanish language. Well, said Mr. Lincoln, "I promised to tell you of a good thing you could get. Get Don tfuixotc and read it; it will make you laugh." KEEPING A SECRET.— The Newport Mercu ry relates a capital story of Stewart, the paint er, which illustrates finely the power which a secret has to propagate itself, if once allowed a little airing, and to reach a tew ears. Stew art had, as he supposed, discovered a secret art of coloring—very valuable. He told it to a friend. His friend valued it very highly, and came a short time afterwards to ask per mission to communicate it, under oath of eternal secrecy, to a friend of his who needed every possible aid to enable him to rise. "Let me see," said Stewart, making a chalk mark on a board at hand ; "I know the art, and that is " "One," said his friend. "You know it," said Stewart, making an other mark by the side of the one alreadv made; "sod that is " "Well, you tell your friend, and that will be "making a third mark "Three only," said the other. No, said Stewart, "it is one hundred and eleven !" (111). ODOROUS.— The following joke is told on a popular conductor on one of the railroads leading out of the city. Recently, the con ductor entered a car to collect the tickets. As he cante in, he left the door open. The train was just passing tho distilleries at the time, and the smell from the hogpens, was anything but pleasant, as it came in through the open door, in a manner that was almost over powering. An old lady sat near the end of tne car, and held her nose in her fingers until the conductor passed out and closed the door. Then she turned to a gen tleman uear by, and said, "I'm orful glad that man went out." "Why?" asked the astonished gentleman. "Because," said she, 'he was the orfulest smelling man I eve r saw. 1 wonder what kind o' new fangh-d grease he puts on his hair?" The old lady had taken the smell that came from the hog pen, ftr some rival of night blooming cereoi. TO CASH ZB-UTTEIR-SI READ AND SPEAK OF IT! COME SEE AND BE CONVINCED . G. R. OSTER & CO.

CRA3IEK AC CO. ltjan'7o S ARS APARILLA, FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD. The reputation this excellent medicine eDjoys, is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis ease, whore tbe system seemed saturated with cor ruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every sec - tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one ot the most destruc tive enemies of out race. Often, this unseen and : unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection through the body, aud then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of tbe body. Hence tbe occasional use of a bottle of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and. at leDgth, cure, by the use of this SA RSA PA Hit LA: St. Anthony's Fire, Rout or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scro/uloue disease. Also in the more corcealed forzrs, as Dyspepela, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits. Epilepsy, Seuralyin, and the various V Ice. out affections of the muscular and nervous systems. Syphilid or 1 cue real and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any med icine- But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint. Leucorrhoca or White*, C'terini Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di rections for each case are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism aud Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Jn/iamn a tion ot the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising as they often do, from the rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great resto rer for the strength and vigor ot tht system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehen sions or Fears, or any of the affections sjmptom ■ atic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
