Necessary Rales for Sleep.
There is no fact more clearly establish
ed in the physiology of man than this,
that tlie brain expends its energies and
itself during the hours of wakefulness,
and that these are re-euperated during
sleep If tho recuperation docs not equal
the expenditure, tho brain withers this
is insanity Thus it is that, in early
English history, persons who were con
demned to death by being prevented from
sleeping, always died raving maniacs, and
those who are starved to death become
insane ; the brain is not nourished, and
they can not sleep.
The practical inferences aro three : 1st.
Those who think most, who do tho most
brain work, require tho most sleep. 2d.
The time ' saved' from the necessary
sleep-is infallibly destructive to mind,
body, and estate. 3d. Give yourself,
your children, your servants, give all that
are under you, the fullest amount of
sleep they will take, by compelling them
to go to bed at some regular early hour,
and to rise in the morning the moment
they wake ; and within a fortnight, Na
ture, with almost the regularity of tho
rising sun, will unloose the bonds 6 sleep
the moment enough repose has been se
cured for the wants of flio system.' This
is the only safe and efficient rule. '. .
, riowW.' ' '
It should, bo a rule that the traces to
the gears of a team should bo as short as
possible, without impeding the freedom of
the step of the horses, for the nearer they1
are to tho poiut of the draft, the less force
will be required to draw the plow, f he
tallest hone should walk in tho furrow to
keep tho double-trees as level, as possible,
and the team must be kept going at as
regular and smart a gait as tho nature of
the work will admit ; they are thus better
Uianaged,and the draft will bo lighter than
if walking slow, and by due attention to
this particular, heavy soil will cling less
to the plow,' and the operation will seem
pleasant and free. There is a certain
taste in plowing as well as many other
things, a sort of tact acquired by instinct,
a slight movement of the hands will keep
the plow right, while a swerving, clumsy
plowman, without perception will be
constantly letting the plow, with every
unsteady movement of the horses, run
out, and into land, and make bad work
IfemoYluff Rocks.
On many farms there are large roclfs,
both unsightly and troublesome. Where
too heavy for handling, blasting with
powder or bursting by water in winter
are common means used, but a writer in
tho American farm Journal gives anoth
cr and safer method. . Ho says :
If the rock is buried in the ground,
dig around it so as to exposo tho greater
part of it, then build a wood fire around
and over it, so as to heat it hot. The ex
pansion caused by the heat usually causes
the rock to burst in small pieces, but if it
does not, draw tho fire-brands quickly
from the top and dash on a pail or two, of
cold water. I his seldom it ever tails, as
the sudden contraction of tho outer sur
face causes it to break. I saw one bro
ken in this way, which contained three
wagon loads. A few trials will show
about tho amount of fire that is required
Salt for Oats.
At a meeting of tho Farmer's Insti
tute of Kastern Pennsylvania recently,
1'. Morris ; exhibited a samplo of oats
grown by 11. Incersoll, ot tho J'hiladol
phia Sooiety for Promoting Agriculture.
This was of extraordinary size and early
maturity, produced by the application of
six bushels ot salt to the acre. Tho
stalks were much larger than usually
een( tho leaves .broader, and in - every
way'supcrior to other samples exhibited.
Mr. Ingcrsoll stated that tho advaneed
condition of his oats as well as the unu
sual size of the stalks, waswing to the
tact that ho had sowed broadcast upon the
held six bushels ot salt to the acre alter
sowing the oats. A larger quantity of
salt could bo used, but never greater than
iorty bushels. , bait, to bo efficacious on
oats, wheat or corn, should be put on san
dy Koil, and not on Btiff clay lands. Mr,
Ingersoll had been using suit for a nuin
ler of years, and found that not only tho
grain crops were benefitted but the after
crops, paiticulurly clover.
Flavor and Color of Eggs.
' There is a vast difference in the fluvor
of ejigH. liens fed on clean, sound grain
and kept on clean trass run, give much
finer flavored eggs than hens do that have
access to stablo and mauure heaps and
eat all kinds ot filthy food, liens toed
ing on fish and onions flavor their eggs
accordingly tho same as cows, eating
onions, or cabbage, or drinking offensive
water, impurts bud taste to milk and
butter. The richer the food the higher
tho color ot the eggs. Wheat and corn
give tho best color, ' while feeding on
buckwheat makes the eecs colorless, ten
