WHAT SMALL FARMS WILL BO.
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

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. The largest

Black grenadines have been
one of the most distinguished
features of our trade for two
months past. We have had
the finest in the world, and all
grades down to the poorest
that we care to keep; and a
wonderful variety of patterns.
Figured grenadines that

a general indication of what we
are doing in grenadines.

The melanges at 40 to 60

If dress-goods are lower than

say they are. Advertisements
say they are; but there is a cer
tain shyness in those same ad
vertisemcnts.which makes them
not very impressive. If dress
goods are lower elsewhere in
our city, the fall is due to the
singular spectacle here of three
great classes of the most fash
ionable dress-goods at a fraction
of theirvaluc: French melanges,
small checks and small-check
stripes of wool and silk-and-wool,
and black lainage.
We mention these three, be
cause they stand out from the
rest of the stock, conspicuous in

peculiarly so ; and they are at

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.

A Tleasant Experiment with
Salt. 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

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.

Alcohol from Acorns. It is said
that alcohol equal to that made from
grain can be produced from acorns. 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.

if housekeepers know that flannel ought
never to have soap put upon them or to
le rubbed on a board ? A nice hot suds
should be made, and the flannels should
be squeezed through it, rubbing the
dirtiest portion in the hand as lightly as
possible when the dirt is 6oftened, An
other warm water, with a little soap,
shonld be ready, into which put flannel,
shake up well, squeeze dry as possible,
shake well and hang out to dry. Flan
