The persistent habit that we have fallen into of cultivating large areas of poor land that often do not pay one-half the cost of culti vation is the main cause of our poverty. This habit should be stopped, and our poor lands im proved, else inevitable bankruptcy awaits us. This is to be done in two ways: first, by manuring and second by a rotation of crops. Both of these should be put in ope ration, and perseveringly followed up. Every pound of manure shouP be saved and applied to the soil, and a good rotation at once adopted. In the adoption of a rotation system, science comes to our aid and clearly lays down the proper data to govern us. Our main agri cultural plants are divided into three classes: lime, potash and silica plants. These different classes take from the soil different ele ments, and different quantities of the same elements. For instance, tobacco extracts from the soil large quantities of lhme, while beets and turnips take very lit tle. Both wheat and tobacco require lime, but in unequal quan tities ; wheat only 6 per cent., whilst tobacco takes up 43 per cent. of its ash ingredients. Tobacco, which is a lime plant, and corn, which is a potash plant, both take up potash; but in une qual quantities: tobacco only 25 per cent., whilst the ash of the corn-stalk contains 71 per cent. Now the principle to be carried out in a rotation system is to have such a succession of these different classes of plants, as to rest the soil as it were and save it from too great a drain upon any one ele ment, and thus prevent exhaustion. Thus, to commence with a potash plant, say turnips, beets, potatoes or corn. This should be followed by a silica plant, say wheat, oats, barley or rye, and this to be suc ceeded by a lime plant, viz : clover, peas, or lucerne, or tobacco. A soil may be so constituted as to produce a very good yield of one crop, and a very poor ~one of ano ther, by reason of its deficiency in some one element needed for one of them. A soil deficient in lime, but abounding in potash and phosphoric acid, will produce a good crop of turnips or potatoes, but a poor one of tobacco. A heavy clay soil is well adapted to wheat, but unsuited for tobacco; whilst a light gray is best suited for tobacco, but unfit for wheat. The soil is a very complex affair-requiring much experience, observation and study to understand it thoroughly. -WM. HioLMA, Cumberland Co., Va.,'in American Farmer. A LAINDRY SEcRET.-The fol lowing recipe for doing up shirts will be found of use to many house wies Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic powder; put it into a pitcher and pour on it a pint or so of water; and then, having covered it up, let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, and cork it and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of gum water stirred into a pint of starch, made in the usual manner,will give to the lawns, either white or printed, a look of newness, when nothing else can restore them, after they have been washed. Bu aNs.-Place the injured skin in water at once; if it cannot be immersed, keep wet bandages upon it, and if alum is dissolved in hot ~ ~nnlit~d immediately it HOMERAISED MEAT. We know of at least one farmer in South Carolina who intends this winter to enjoy home-made I sausages whether they be "stuffed up in - or set down in dabs." In a letter of the 18th September he says: "In June last I planted fourteen acres of speckled peas, and turned my hogs in upon them last Friday. Thirteen of them are fine porkers, and four shy, wild bucks ; these last I will sell on the hoof. I am feeding about a bushel of corn in the ear daily, besides all the slops with a little bran mixed and al lowed to sour; occasionally a sprinkling of sulphur is added." We are satisfied a majority of the farmers of South Carolina might do as well as this one with hogs, and yet how few there are that do. Let us calculate the cost of his meat. Since those shoats were weaned last spring, say six months ago, they have cost the trouble of call ing every afternoon from the range, and a half peck of corn ; or say twenty-five bushels of corn during the time, and we know they did not cost that much. Then there was the pea crop from four teen acres, worth as much as the twenty-five bushels of corn ; for the vines and refuse left on the ground will repay for seed and cultivation. Then for forty days, we will say, these hogs will receive daily three pecks of corn and a half bushel of bran, (slops cost nothing,) or say thirty bushels of corn and five dollars worth of bran. The aggregate cost then will be eighty bushels of corn at seventy-five cents per bushel, (for that has been about the cost of corn to merchants, the farmer who had to buy paying them ninety cents to one dollar cash, our friend raised his,) or sixty dol lars for corn and five dollars for bran, or sixty-five dollars for the feed ; the manure will remun erate for the attention. The four wild hogs will sell at the expira tion of the forty days for twelve dollars each, and one of the thir teen will sell for seventeen dollars; these five will return the expendii tures. But we will say the seventeen pigs had to be bought at weaning time, and cost $4 each, or $68. The four choice2t of the twelve remaining bogs will sell for $17 each, or $68, and hence our friend nets up a clear gain of eight fatted hogs, weigh we will say 170 pounds net. He has but six in family ; a hog to the head is sufficient. Hence he may sell two more and buy his groceries. Is this not good reasoning? Any lying about these igures ?-D.

Office, 35 Murray Street, NewYork. Mar. 14, 1877-1l-]. BEER. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, speaks as follows: "There can be no doubt of the general adulteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practice is very common. How much more in this country, where there are no laws on the subject, ad no officer to carefully ana lyze the products of the brewery? Some years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozen different breweries, and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. Cocculus indicu's, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dog-button, from which strychnine is ob tained,) are some of the delectable substan ces found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be droned at once in one of his owni vats. The British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowving them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of, or in trust for, any such' brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor called by the name of or sold for coloring, from whatever material the same may be made; or any material or preparation other than unground brown malt, for the darken ing the color of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolus indicus, grains of paradise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any article or preparation to be used in worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars. such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and the person so offending shall for feit five hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the practice continues. Unless the American public are ready to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they arc at the same time guzzling some narcotic poison or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre cedented growth of the barley crop; of the great increase of the number of malsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent, it is the dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should be inflicted as a preventive." JOHN C. SEEGERS' BEER is pure and reliable. Feb. 28, 9-tf. NOTICE. The copartnership heretofore existing between W. G. MAYES and J. N.
