The diffusive farmer spreads his ma nure and labor over a large territory, producing unsatisfactory results. lie is more intent on acres than bushels, and seeks to increase the area rather than the vield. Most American farm ers have little idea of the capabilities of an acre of land, but the experiments conducted at the "Riverside Stocte and Experimental Farm." Avon Springs, X. V., an account, of which is given in : the Empire State Agriculturist, shows ! how manaeement cau overcome difficul- j ties. The farm contains thirty acres, I and is mostly a reclaimed swamp, a por- ' tion of it, however, being stiff clay. Last year 7,000 heads of celery, between I the rows of half an acre of sweet corn, j were produced. The eeleiy plants were set in a furrow between the rows after J corn cultivation was finished, the corn , serving to partially shade the celery. From one and three-quarter acres 2100 j bushels of carrot? were grown, 800 bush- i els of which were sold at 40 cents per I bushel. Seven acres in corn produced 1700 bushels fears and from the same ground 161 bushels of medium beans were harvested, from which one dollar and twenty cents per bushel was realized Over 200 heads of cabbage were grown between the carrots and parsnips, and sold at from five to ten cents each. A cabbage plant was set out on every va cant place. Less than an acre of land gave eight hundred bushels of parsnips, which were wintered in the ground. From pure-bred Yorkshire hogs $300 ! dollars were derived, and twenty-seven Hogs were slaughtered. The soiling system is practiced in keeping stock, and a great portion of the farm is devo ted to crowing grass for horss and cat tle. Piickly comfrev is considered by the managers of the farm to be one of the most valuable of fodder plants. It is claimed for it that a square rod will give a ton of green fodder, which is re lished by all kinds of stock. The com frey once set is perpetual, as it springs up as soon as cut. Over 150 tons to the acre, green, is not an unusual yield. The farm is under the management of Dr. T. M. Smedly. In the spring of 1S75 a correspondent of the Iitiral 2iTew Yorker boutrht forty five acres of worn out land. His entire capital was two hundred dollars and in the purchase of the farm eight hundred was Incurred. Iiy a system of green manuring, soiling what few cattle he gradually procured, and judicious meth od of cultivation, the debt was soon can celled, new buildings were erected, and the farm is now well stocked and in good order. One of the main reliances of the correspondent was poultry. It re quired less capital to get a profit from poultry than anything else, and bv giv ing strict attention to them, they aver aged, clear of cost, over $-2 per head. This was nearly all profit. From 73 hens, in a sintrle month, thirty-two dol lars was realized, for eggs alone, the cost of fed being six dollars, leaving a total of s52b This shows that a hen can be kept, a month for eight cents, or one dollar a year. These instances demonstrate that by high tillage and good judgment success is attained even on a very small farm. Large farms are not so desirable as small ones thoroughly cultivated, The manure required for an ace is, to ajcon siderable extent, wasted when spread over two, and it requires more labor to harvest the crop. The best farmers are those who improve their farms endeavor in maK mem more ana more proaueuva 1 he proper system of farming is ore that increasfs production with each succeed ing season. It is more renumerative to practice high farming than to depend on large areas with poor yields. MORE IUCJ THINKS OF EARTH. The largest inland sea is the Caspian, Iving between Europe and Asia. It greatest length is 9(50 miles, its great est breadth 270 miles, and its area 170, CMK) miles, (ireat Salt Lake in Utah, whicli may be properly termed an inland sea, is about 90 miles long, and has a varying breadth of from 24 to 30 miles. Its surface is about 4,200 feet above the lvel of the sea. whereas the surface of t he Caspian is 84 feet below the ocean level. The biggest trees in the world are the mammoth trees of California. One of j a grove in Tulare county, according to ; measurement made by -members of the State Geological Survey was shown to be 500 feet high. 10i feet in circumfer ence at base, and 7(5 feet at a point of 12 feet al)ve the ground. Some of the trees are 376 feet high and 34 feet in di ameter. Some of the largest that have been felled indicate an age of from 3, 000 to 5.000 years. The largest empire in the world is that of Great Britain, comprising 8, 557,759 square miles, more than a sixth part of the land of the globe, and em bracing under its rule nearly a sixth part of the population of the world. In territorial extent the Unite States ranks third, containing 2.580,245 square miles including Alaska; in iiopnlation it ranks fourth, with its 50,000.000 of people. Russia ranks second. The longest tunnel in the world is that of St. Got hard, on the line of Rail road bet ween Lucerne and Milan. The Kiiminit of t he tunnel is 990 feet below the surface at Andmnait, and 7.000 feet tienrath the peak of Kastelhorn, of tlie St. Got hard irronp. The tunnel is 2ti fret vkiile and 19 feet, from the floor to the crown of the arched roof. It is nine and one-third miles long, one and five-eight miles longer than the Mount Cenis tunnel. The highest monolith is the obelisk at Karnak, in Egypt. Karnak is on the east bank of the Xilo, near Luxor, and occupies part of the site of ancient Thebes. The obelisk is ascribed to Ilatasu. sister of Pharaoh Thothmes III, who reigne.i about 1000 B. C. Its whole length is 122 feet, its weight 400 tons. Its height, without pedestal is 198 feet. The heicth of the obelisk in t'eiittal Park without ede?tal is feet 11 inches, its weight about one hundred and sixty-eight tons. The most remarkable whirlpool is the maalstrom, off the north west cost of Norway, and south-west or Moskinoe sol, the uiost southerly of the Lofden ish-s. II. was once supposed to be un fathomable, but the depth has Wen shown not to exceed twentv fathoms. The whirlpool is navigable und'-r ordi nary ciromnstaiioes, but when the wind is northwest it often attains great fury anil becomes exceedingly dangerous. Under strong gales the m.ialstrom has been shown by official Statistics to run at the rate of twenty-six mi!es an hour. The larcest library is the Bibliothique National in Paris, founded by Louis XIV. It contains 2 000.000 volumes, 3-0,OttO pamphlets. 1S5.000 manuscript s. 300,000 maps and charts, and 150. 000 coins and medals. The collection of en gravings excels 1,500.000, contained in some 20.WU volumes. The portraits , number ahout 100,000. The building which contains these, treasures is situa- ; ted on the line Richelieu. It length is five hundred and forty feet, its breadth I one hundred and thirty.

As a dlscrlption of the appearance and habits of this worm, as well as the methods of destroying it, will undoubt edly be interesting to many readers, we make a few extracts from a letter writ ten by a correspondent in Tennessee to the Cultivator and Country Gtntlemnn. He begins the letter by saying that the prospects for good corn and wheat crops are very fine, but thatjfarmers are not content, saying : 'The army-worm has come and we wilt be ruined. The army-worm origi nates in old meadow landa more partic ularly, and where there are no meadows in the neighborhood 1 hear of no worms. They travel from the meadows to the wheat, oats, rye, bailey and corn. If the wheat, rye and barley are past the bloom, and making the grain when at tacked by the worm, the grain is often benefitted by being stripped of the blades than injured. Oats, if attacked are gen erally ruined so is corn ; both being very tender plants, the worms go for them heavily. I will describe the worm for the benefit of those who are unac quainted with him : He is bald-headed, well formed, black body, with two rath er yellow than white stripes from head to tail. "When full grown it is a fourth less in size than a common pencil, and when ready to deposit his cotton is yel low and very clumsy and slow, but in almost constant motion and very hungry eating rapidly until he disappears. "Where lie goes I do not know ; he sim ply goes out of sight. I find no holes that he goes into, nor do I find him dead on the ground. Where does he go ? I walked the ditch two hours this evening and the foregoing is the only description I can give you. "He is, I might say, rather an inno cent looking worm, and has not the hi deous look of the cut and measuring worms. The woikmen upon my farm have been giving him battle for four or five days. First between my wheat field and meadows, and corn field and meadows, we ditched, throwing the earth out on the meadow side, and mak ing the side next to the wneat and corn slanting under, so that when the worms come into the ditch, which they do by the thousands'and millions, they attempt to crawl out on the corn and wheat side, and fall back, and when collected in the ditch we hitch a mule or hirse to a log of wood and draw it up and down the ditch and mash the enemy to death. With a little care they never pass the ditch. As I before stated, they never originate in a wheat or corn field, unless the wheat has teen sown on an old mea dow. But if they do get into the wheat there is only one mode of fighting them, and that is by the old Virginia mode. The worms crawl up the stalk and st'-ip the blades off up to the head, if you will stand idly by and let them do so. To prevent this is almost too cheap and simple to relate. The worm is very clumsy and the least shock precipitates him to the ground, and while there he does little or no damage. "Take a roje from fifty to one hun dred feet in length and weight in the middle, and pu a man or boy at each end of it and let them pass the rope over the field once a day so long as the worm lives, which is usually ten days, and you will save the field from injury. The fat fellows are never to make a sec ond trip up the stalk ; one trip is suffi cient with that crop : and it is easier ! and cheaper than ditching. I have suc ceeded in keeping them so far out or m v wheat ar I Iiav n r nppadinn tn j use the rope practice, but others are us- incr it every day; including Si;nday, and report success. laiiiraiTsWlWVaf HOW LOST; HOW RKST011KD! .Inst ruM'h!. a t w ,!itinn or Ir. t'nlver well'si t'eletoratest Fssay 0:1 the ratlual rare of SricitSATimiuFA or Nominal Weskne., Involun tary Seminal Losses Imi-otsnct, Mental and phy sical Inraimriry.

Do you want to grow salt and at the same time have an interesting or nament. The proceeding is a novel chemical experiment that may be tried by any one. Put in a goblet one table sjKKinful of salt, and one spoonful of blueine, fill the goblet two-thirds full of water and put in a position where it will have plenty of warmth and sun light, In a little while starkling crystals will commence forming on the outside of the glass and it is both novel and in teresting to watch it growing day by day until the outside of the goblet will he covered over with beautiful white crystals. Another variation of this beatuiful exeriment would be to take a goblet with base broken off and fasten it to a thin piece of board, which may be round, square or oblong. After the crystals have formed on the glass, set it on a tiny wall-bracket, and place a bright holiday or birthday card in front of it: tins will hide the base, on which the crystals will form. After this is done, fill the goblet with flowers or dried grasses, and you will have a vase which will cost comparatively little, and in reality adds to the brie a brae of the room. We wonder how many of our young readers can tell how it is the cry stals of salt form on the outside of the glass, Troy Times: F3SSSSK POTATO UGS And all Tnmblesome Vermin, It will tho-ougrhly exterminate Hr.a?hes, Ants.

IS-S.'Sl.-lv J A Tlakt that Kills Flif.s. The Tiritiah Medical Journal contains a des cription of the accidental discovery of a natural fly-killer, which is worthy the attention of shopkeepers whose wares are so much exposed in this hot weather to one of the pin goes of Egypt, and in deed of house dwellers generally, as well as of horticulturists and gardeners, whose plants and fruit trees are eaten ui by insects of various kinds. A cas tor oil plant, it appears, was placed ac cidentally in a room swarming with flies, which of course came in in hun dreds through the open window, but as soon as it was deposited iu its place the fliee disappeared as if by enchantment. On examination they were found under the castor-oil plant or clinging to the under surface of the leaves, perfectly dead. The leaves, we understand, give out an essential oil or toxic principle, which possess the strongest insecticide qualities, and it would be well worth the while of many persons who suffer from the ravages of the flies to provide themselves with one of these plnls, which, in addition to the ornamental ap Iearance, resist variations of atmou phere and temperature very well.

The acorns are freed from the shell and ground finely ; thpn they are mashed with malt and allowed to ferment. Acorns contain about 20 per cent, of starch, and eighteen per cent, of gluten. They would be a valuable article tor hu man food if it were not for the tannic acid (about 3 percent) which they con lain. Vast quantities which go to waste every year, where hogs are not fed in the woods, might be gathered by boys and converted into alcohol for use in the arts, thus freeing an equivalent amount of grain for food. Or soma young Btudent of practical chemistrv might make a trond thing for himself and for the world by rlevisng an econo mical process of separting the starch gluten and tannic acid, the last for tech nical uses and the others for food.
