At ft lute meeting of ncrcultnrlsts lield it the Est experimental form, the follow ' mutters of Interest to farmer were dlTii( d; i Simpson Preston rend 111. fsnv entitl I "Clenn Tillnge and no Weeds, the No it Frmer's Motto." The subject was well dl posed of, that farmers should not let tlicr ftrma grow so many pernlelous weeds, nl though donienl themnmy Imvc the elements ol valuablo medicinal ijual'tlei. Hp tonic strong grounds against letting grow up'in tho farm a weed that contains so much nic otine; thought it might make tho consumer poor. That the county of Lancaster produ ced $2,000,000 worth of tobacco, in tho Use of which it was worse than thrown away, and in its evil effect, next to spirituous liquor, and thus condemning the policy of catering to tho morbid tastes and appetites. Alexander Hodgson took exceptions to somo portions of the essay, holding that it was a legitimate business, growing tobacco as well as corn. That tobacco In its use did not pro duce crime; that thero many practical uses made of tobacco besides chewing and smok ing it. John I. Carter read n paper on barns. In our state we liavo ten quite different types of barns, be said, and it might be well to consider which is really best adapted to the present needs cf tho farmers of this section, The prevalent kind in this vicinity is usual ly called the Chester county barn. This form of barn seemed no doubt beat adapted to the wants nf the farmer n few years ago when an important branch of our agricul ture was the grazing -of steers, for which considerable yard room was required for winter quarters, also the shelter afforded by the overhanging straw sheds, As theso yards were large.much straw was required for bed ding, and as wheat was not a permanent crop economy of straw required its storage In these sheds, and tho great nrea over which the manure was spread subjected to it I033 without this shed covering. l!ut the pecu liar shape of the barn involves the use of haavy timber and strong work to support the wide roof and swinging front, and much additional expense is in their construction which can be measurably avoided by bui. 1 ing on the other style, usually called t Lancaster county barn. These barns are built with two stories, the upper story 1G to 18 feet high, 40 bySO feet wide, and ien.cth indefinite; the floors are placed adjaeent and in number according to the length. This kind of barn does not require much heavy timber, is convenient to fill, and easy to thrash from or get hay out of. Hay keeps better in them than in double decker barns. But perhaps the most Important advantage they possess is tho superior stabling they afford stock. Being narrow wo have lull command of lightand ventilation, (no occa sion for sub earth ducts.) A very important matter is well appointed cow stables. With well arranged windows they can be made light, and with tight fronts can be made warm. Warmth, light and ventilation are completely at our command. With these conveniences cows can be judiciously kept in their stables half of the time. If so kept they will consume less feed, give more milk, and have better health. In large dairies but few cows should be let out to water at a time, thus saving exposure and abuse. One of the most serious losses dairymen suffer from is from the above causes, while getting their 'daily drink. I have noticed several times the past winter one of the fi nest herds in the county turned out in the torm,made to go across two or three fields to a race to drink, and have seen them plung ing headlong down a steep hill on the full run, and sinking half way to their knees ev ery jump. This is all wrong. Wo should keep our cows like the Dutch do their feed ing steers quiet and free from exposure. Cows are more abusive to each other and more restless than steers, hence the greater the necessity for confinement in good sta bles. It may be urged that the Lancaster barns afford no shelter for the manure, but with their small yards the depth of tho ma nure requires all the rains that fall upon it to keep it in good condition. The Dutch manure piles are really nicer to handle and spread, and the quality equally good with that kept under our wide sheds. The subject of barns elicited a considera ble amonntof experiences from tho different farmers as to keeping quantities of hay in stone or wooden structures for barns most of them contending that the modern struct ures were the best, that hay or grain needed ventilation in process of curing while in the barn, although instances were cited where the hay cut very green and put into the mow came out in most excellent condition. Sulplinr for Poultry. Asa preventive and cure of various ail ments in fowls, and generally conducive to health, sulphur will be found highly valua. ble and very satisfactory in its results. As a cure for vermin It has no superior. A lit tle mixed with the food occasionally will be destructive to parasites; or, it is, perhaps, raoro efficacious in destroying vermin when applied externally. To disinfect a hennery and destroy all parasites, it is advisable, whenever occasion requires, to burn sulphur until the house is entirely fumigated with the smoke; tho chicks of course, being first removed and the windows and doors closed. If it is desired to have the fowls roost in the house the night of the day it is fumigated with sulphur, it will, of course be necessary to attend to this in the morning, and then give it a thorough airing before the fowls are returned. Again, for general ailing of fowls and pig eons, nothing is more efficacious, nor will re vive them sooner than the initiation of the fumes of sulphur. Put the sick birds in a closed room and burn a small quantity of sulphur as much as you can Btand your self. An almost immediate change for the better will be the result. I havo had a bird. so sick as not to be able to stand, immedi ately become completely reanimated by in baling the sulphur, and Its eyes and whole frame suddenly possess new vigor, Contin ue the treatment once a day until the fowls are cured. A few minutes at a time Is suffi cient. I heartily recommend the thorough trial of the above simple directions.

A Western judge- recently sentenced a man to imprisonment for life. Before removal from the court tho prisoner exclaimed that tho judge was no gentlemau.

A gentleman in England committed sui cide the other day, and left a paper stating that ho did so because his wife was a great deal too good for him. That's why the jury returned a verdict recording their opinion that deceased was of "an unsound statu of mind." Whenever a man who has been arrested for being "tight," calls at a New Orleans newspaper office and asks to have his name suppressed, they call it '"A Suppressed Tight em," and publish it anyhow. Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, ab. borred Bmoking. His Quaker council one day, observing him approach, laid down their pipes. "lam glad to see," said Penn, "that you are ashamed of that vile habit." "Not at all," returned a principal Friend ; "we only laid them down lest we should of fend a weak brother." A man who banged himself in Nevada left a letter to a friend, in which he said : "I advise you earnestly to follow my exam ple. You ought to know you are too mean to live. The world would be better with out you, and it is your duty to die, and leave more room for better men." The friend says that he has no intention of fol lowing the advice. A correspondent of the Paris Ilgaro, late ly strolling about the London streets, noticed a large crowd hurrying into a wooden booth. Having paid his shilling, he entered alto, and found the great attraction to consist of a sailor sitting quietly, smoking and drinking beer. Over his head was tho following in scription, "This is tho only sailor in tho Arctic expedition who succeeded in perspir ing at tho North Pole." Human nature is indeed a curious study. A boy may slug "Hold the Fort" so sweetly on Sunday that the very walls of .ion tingle with the sacred melody, and yet you wouldn't recognize him on week days when he comes out from swimming, and finds out that somo other boy has hopelessly knotted up hi shirt sleeves and trouser legs.
