DlBflpiK-nranee of Improved Land lu Jiew England. Tho census returns in Now Hampshire and Massachusetts, show a smaller nrea of improved land in 1870 than iu 18G0. Some have expressed surprise at this re sult, and have been led to question tho accuracy of tho census. Wo havo no doubt the statement is true, not only of these states, but of other Northern and Kastcrn states. There are portions of many farms once kept in meadow or in pasture, that aro now turned out to wood, which grows luxuriantly, and is paying better interest upon the capital invested in it than it ever did, when kept under tho plow. Some of it is not even fenced, and the only cost to the owner is tho tax es. Tho owners of these farms havo discovered that it is much better policy for them to cultivate a few acres well, than to spread thoir tillage and manure over a large part of tho farm. Seventy bushels of shelled corn and fifty bushels of oats to tho acre, pays well. ,A third of those crops only run them in debt, and mado niiserablo farming. Tho fact, then, indicated in this census statement, is not alarming but highly cucouraging to our agricultural industry. Thcro is still a very largo area of rough pasture and meadow that ought to bo turned out to forest. Some of it needs sowing with tho seeds of forest trees ; but a good deal of it would start very soon into timber without any sowing. Tho great advan tage of sowing is, that wo can determine tho character of tho timber. It costs no more to raiso chestnut, which grows rap idly, and is very valuable for timber, than to grow birch or poplar, which is worth littlo except for Drewood. In these satno States, the census reveals a large in crease in tho valuo of orchard and gar den products a fact which shows that our land-holders aro concentrating their capital upon less land, and making it pay better. An incidental advantage of this increase of forest is the increased value of that which is cultivated for farm crops. The tilled land is better sheltered from the wind. Tho climate is mado equable. The snow lies longer upon the ground in the winter, and tho winter rain comes out brighter in the spring, and yields more. If all our barren hill tops could be covered again with forests, wo should havo moro frequent showers in summer, and tho evils of drouth would bo mitigated. Hearth ami Home. Chickens Drooping nnd Dying. The Rural New Yorker has the fol lowing : Chickens nro often seen in tho poultry yard drooping and moping about, and finally die beforo any attention is paid to them ; and then breeders aro profuse in their queries as to what kills their fowls. Ono reason is that tho chickens aro cither too highly fed or bo cotuo lousy. In tho former case the food should bo chopped eggs, bread, and meat scraps from tho tablo chopped fine, and let them havo plenty of fresh mold and rond sand or gravel. In the latter case, put souio wormwood in their water, and grenso tho head thoroughly with lard or fresh butter. In our youthful days tho first thing wo did after tho chicken was out of tho shell was to saturate its head with fresh butter. This precaution, in our opinion, has saved many a brood. i .. -. To Revive Faded Muck Clothes. Boil three ounces of logwood in a quart of vinegar, aud when tho color is extracted, drop in a piece of curbouato iron, tho size of a largo chestnut; let it boil five miuutes. Have tho articles to bo restored well sponged with soap ond hot wuler, laying them on the table, and brush tho nop down with a sponge. Then tuko tho dye upon the table and sponge them all over with it, taking care to keep them smooth and brush down ward. When completely wet with tho dye, dissolve; a teuspoonful of salcralus in u teacup of warm water, aud sponge over ogaiu with this, which sets tho color so completely that nothing rubs off. They must not be wrung and wrinkled, but curefully hung up to drain. The brown est cloth may be inado a perfect black in this simple manner. POr" An Ohio cultivator claims treat success for his treatment of quiuce and. upplo trees. Jlo spades the ground ev ery spring mid scatters a peck of coal Ubl:c8 around each tree, and applies a quurt or so of salt to the ground under each trco after the soil lias been spaded, and another quurt after the quinces are about holf grown. J82r Calves fattening for tho butcher should suck tho cow, and should be tied up in a warm, dry, well vcntiluted apart- m out, that is not too ugiit. necp them an quiet as possiblo, and feed tho cow lib erally. After the third day there is little danger of milk fover. ELECTRIC SOAP, The Bent in the World! STRICTLY PURE ! NO SAND! NO ROSIN! NO CLAY! NO ADULTERATION OF ANY KIND ! Children Xtn Do The Wanhlng.
