A STRANGE STORY. The following is from the LeTtaysville ddmtiser. The editor of the dAvertioer is not an intemperate roan, but be is said to be somewhat credulous : "911 the lulls, not a hundred miles ••• Le.Raystille, there resided some yaws ago a family who had a bright little two year-old boy, "his mother's pride and his father's joy." The family alio had a box of rattlesnakes Witt were quitii docile and tame. The Bale chubby l*ids of the two-year-old daily dropped littre mor sels of food in the box, and the reptiles b me 117 accustomed to his visits that they would rise upon their tails when they heard the pit-s-pat f his approach ing footsteps. The child's mother during the hot- summer - days had the cradle brought out, and the little one quietly and regularly took its afternoon nap with in a few feet of the box, and as the moth er sung a sweet lullaby to 'her' precious child the snakes always joined in the cho rus, and the weird anu musical noise of their rattles resembled the soft monotony of•the snare drum of the orchestra. Of ten the mother would rock her child to sleep. while she gently fanned its face with a palm-leaf which she always kept at the foot of the child's `conch; One Sunday afternoon the child had become tired of feeding the snakes and the moth er did nit see her little one as she quietly -moved away the cover. The chad became sleepy, and then crawled into as cradle, as it was accustomed to do. The mother was engaged in doing her house-work, and therefore paid little attention to her darling. _She was.suddenly attracted the snakes and she walked to the door, when a sight :net her eyes that at first caused her great alarm. The child was M the cradle, and at each rocker was a stake, rocking it gently with their tails, - while four more Urge specimens stood near by, producing the music which was ts , . soothing to the child's ears. But the most surprising of all-was a large rattle r-lake, perched upon a high 'Chair atthe . child's head, with its tail coftiled:abont the haedle - of the palm-leaf fat, gently sway : - backwards.and forwards over the • little boy's face. It was a picture for the artist, and shcwediliat the great Creator of all things had even put in the breast of reptiles the greatest of all virtues, love ned gratitude :-it also demonstrated that ell the intelligence of the snake kingdom - was not monopolized by that traditional reptile that peddled apples in Eden. The mother stoat and watched the strange •, nurses for a few momeets, when all feel ink of fear entirely left Ver. She moved toward the cradle, then the music -teas ed, the fan was gently laid upon the era • tile, the four snakes uncoiled their tails from about the rockers, aed in less than thirty seconds the whole tribe were in the lox again, having returned voluntarily. -They beheld the mother, and knowing that their services were no longer needed, t hey relinquished the precious charge into her keeping. That child has since grown to mature manhood, and old age, and is ::;staining in every way the cherished an ticipations of friends and the bright prom - i•-es of his early life. But the most re markable i.art of this true story is the - fact tint the native venom which had left the snakes had in some manner been im parted to the child,,and as he grows older it becomes more marked and is exhibited • to a "striking" degree." RAILROAD RUMORS Under the above head the Elmira. Ad *.ertimr of a recent date says : "Rumors of coining railroad changes, improvements and extensions are thick. The latest enterprise reported is of the extension of the( Lehigh road from this city to Lake Ontario, by way of Geneva and the Southwestern to Stanley, from where a road is already completed to So- dus Bay. It is said that the trip of the Lehigh excursionists about the State last . week Combined both Vitsiness and pleas- tire. The Geneva CouWer of this week has the following in regard to the matter: The West'Shore Survey . ors are doing ex actly what General Stuart did. They have tried several routes and come at last to the final iurvey inade by Stuart, who said the Gene . va route was the cheapest and -shortest, and was of less 'grade. A map made by General Stuart and left in the r,oriession of Mr. Cobb, and of the exist , enee of which the West Shore people knot nothing,. contains some important facts. Another thorough survey would have to be made to -arrive at those re sults,-did this map not exist. By it we . find that the route to Buffalo,- from Syra cuse, is twenty-seven miles shorter than' by way of the Central. i ALso , that this route is the only one where the grade, thirty and twenty,feet, can be adhered to. Estimates are made of the depth atdiffer -- ent points of the marsh north' of Cayuga lake. Mr. Cobb also finds 'by this map :that in order to go to Rochester, which is the reason for any change of route, that Ili& northern survey in complying with • the conditions, would have to diverge cast of Palmyra and: go to Victor. Ac cc:rdingly the cheaper and shorter route for that purpose is by the one farthest • south. There aother important fea - !O P • tures -of this case which we have not time ,to discuss to-day.. • -A Waverly correspondent of the same ',paper - says : cr; = "Railroad' notes and rumors are all the l'iidk-the topic uppermost. A rumor of we day,will be contradicted the next, ',While. the work goes on. The Delaware, :Lackawanna and Western is about corn fileted, surveys are being _made for the Lehigh and Susquehanna a d the Sodus Ilayln prospect. ;Construction trains on the D. L. & W., are running through this place as far - westward as Orcutt Creek. 'lletveeen Orcutt and this place, upon the Herrick farm across the Chemung river, the Company have purchased sixty acres of land—they evidently mean business there. A freight depot is being graded for upon Pennsylvania avenue. The , road lots a finished appearance through our The Italians and the laborers, like the Arabs, have folded their tents and btolen away". . "The great bridge for the Chemung river crossing at Red Mill cut, is being transported through this place from the Athens Bridge Works. Surveys for the L. & S. are being made from the Mathew i.on.farm to Shepard crossing, which place it will connect with the D. L. & W., L. V. and \: Y. & Erie. It is reported that this road.is to be pushed rapidly for ward. Waverly people, who a short time ago were jObilant over the prospect of a new railroad, begin to enquire with a de gree of solicitude, how many more rail roads we are liable to have."

In a well idanned system of farin ing, the subject of crop rotations should be carefully considered, as one of the essential elements'of sue, ma in its highest and best sense. It seems to be the , prevailing! opinion that the alternation of crops, in sys tematic order, is a modern invention: that :was gradually developed as a direct result of the applications of science. to the art ofagriculture. The early writers on agnculture, even from the times of the Greeks and . Romans, have, however, quite uni formly urged the advantages of a succession of crops from the teach ingi_of experience. They were seas fled that a variety of crops grown in succession, all other conditions being equal, would_ give a greater aggregate yield than could otherwise be obtain ed. - The reasons for the success of the system could not, it is true, be given, but practical men were frilly agreed in urging its importance, and many systems of rotation ' more or less perfect, were planned, some of r‘ which beta 'e the prevailing rule of farm practic in particular localities. That these p actical rules of alternat ing crops of 4ifferent habits and modes of growth are based on correct, but s,not fully explained, _principles, has 'been - shown by experiment.—Da. MANLY BILEs, in American Agricul turist for November. Birds and Canker Worms Theinost serious losses of the far mer and • gardener, due to insects, are not consequent upon the ordinary and uniform depredations. of those species whose numbers remain nearly - constant, year after year; buttnpon excessive and extraordinary depre dations of those, the number of which are subject to wide fluctuations. Veg etation has become so far adjusted to our crickets, ordinary grasshop pers, etc.,that the foliage which they eat can b spared without injury to the plant, and the damage done by then; is commonly imperceptible. It is far otherwise, however, with the vast hordes.of the' Rocky Mountain Lo cust, the Colorado Potato Beetle, Chinch Bug, 4rmy Worm, and many other species which occasionally swarm prodigiously, and then almost disappear. The .injurious species are therefore chiefly the oscillating ones, and the dangerous species are those which show a tendency to oscillate. Anything which tends to limit the tuctuations of an oscillating species, or to prevent the oscillation of a sta r Me species, is therefore highly use ful ; while anything which tends to intensify an:oscillation, or to convert a stable species into an oscillating one, is as higlily pernicioA—Paor. S. A. Foams, in American Agricul-. turist for November. The Chinch Bug. The Chinch Bug is an indigenous American insect, and thrives most in southerly latitudes. It delights in a warm, dry climate. .During revolu tionary times it flourished in the Car olinas and in Virginia, rather than in New Eng'and,. and to-day is more disastrous in Southern _lllinois, Mis souri, Kansas, Texas, and the South-I west, than in Minnesota and. the Northwest, though it extends far ther north in the Missippi Valley than on the Atlantic coast, owing, no doubt, to the greater dryness and the isothermal' peculiarities of , that portion of the Continent. As the Chinch Bug prevails most during years of drouth, it is some what difficult, in estimating injury caused by the insect, to eliminate that which is due to drouth alone. Careful computations: by myself in Missouri, and Dr. Le Barron and , Pr,3f. Thbmas, in Illinois, show that the lois to those two States, in 1874, amounted to about fifty million dol lars, and these figures are a sufficient indication of the insect's destructive powers. The food of 'the Chinch Bug con sists of the' grasses: and cereals, wild and cultivated, and accounts of its injuring other plants are misleading, allied spec es being confounded with it. -'Belonging to the Half-wing Bugs (lleteroptera), its mouth is baustel late, and food is obtained, in conse quence 'by suction, so That the plants attacked are sapped of their life, and not eaten up.—Pnor. C. V. RILEY in American Agricularist for Novem ber. • Thick and Thin Seeding of Wheat. . _A generation or so ago, four bush els, or 16 pecks of seed wheat, were considered a moderate seeding for an acre of land.; now, a - few are contending that one peek will snflice. It is clear that either the old-time farmer was singularly wanting in ob servation, and recklessly lavish of seed, or that the agriculturist of to day is advocating a "penny wise and pound foolish" practice, not based on the facts of ordinary experience. Are we going too last,or were our forefathers hopelessly astray—is there no golden mean ? • In the fall of 187'9,11 plats, of one sixteenth acre each t ivere laid off in a field of fair average [fertility, which had been in v elover for the two yeari *ceding. The, soil was a good clay. loam. The land was thoroughly pre 7 pared, and the seetl drilled in with out fertilizers Of any- kind, on the 15th of October. One plat was seed ed with 3 pecks of "Boughton," a smooth, white, and rather tender va riety ; the next adjoining .wit E- -3" pecksof "Champion Amber," •a beard ed, and hardy wheat; the next with 4 pecks of "Bo ighton," the next with 4 pecks of "Champion Amber,' and so-up to 8 pecks Of each. Jo sum up.---It appears that the vadict -of_the experimentw of this year and the last, with the two vani ties, is in favor of moderately thick seeding (6, 7, and pecks per acre), for average soils in this section of. country. The 3-peck "Champion Amber" plat of 1881 shows, however, that on,superioy soils these amounts can be safely reduced. Why should 4 pecks =give, in 'both varieties, the smallest ;eturns ? Is it that possi ble that, like the Church of Laodi cea, this amount of seed is neither one thing or the other—not enough to secure the,4aLlvantages of heavy seeding, and to much to secure those of light? Again, the lower ratios' of -straw to grain in the 8-peek, show 'that the opinions of _those who ',as sert that heavy seeding will increase the straw at the expense of the grain, ire not well taken. Asi to varieties --in the experiments of the two yekrs, 25 are, in favor of the "Champion= Amber" The s.peck "Boughton" plat of 1884 gave a yield of grain exceeding that of the corresponding "Champion, amber" one, by only twentrhundreths bushel.. Finally, these e x periments confirm the otser- valises Of iltavetta and others, that, heavy waft ' heads to bastes the; matador of VW 'crop; the heavily sealed plats were cat two days mil er than t hos e that were thinly seed ! - ed.--Ps.O. d.

' American Cheese and its export. iima•cossumPnoN; Our population is now fifty Mil lions, and we ought to consume the entire cheese product of the country. It amotults annually to 400,000,000 - pounds, and of this about 125,000,000 pounds I& exported.

'00.0,000 Poona, the actual ,consurnp-- tion is 4 pounds per capita. If we used cheese as freely here as in En gland, onr annual consumption would require one thousand million poUnds. There is not the proper effort made to promote home consumption. The bulk of our _finest Cheese goes abroad,: the poorer sorts , are left for home use, and the influence-of all poor, ill flavored cheese, is to check the rate of consumption. , Outside the chief. cities it is seldom'more thin one va riety is offered'in the market, and that is a ‘ second or third class Ched dar.- , There is pressing demand for fine, sm ,11l cheeses, of 6 to 10 pounds weight, at our dairymen seem to : make but little effort to get out of the regur_exportation size and style —and s long as they have an annual surplus 1 C1'150,000,000 pounds of this kind, they must expect to have prices on our whole product regulated by. a foreign 1 market.
