Large crops are not necessarily profit able. They may be made to cost more than their" market value, on account of bad management, and unwise, and need less expenditures, just as it often hap pens in trade, where a large and " flour ishing " business only leads to heavy hiss and financial ruin. Profitable fanning, like profitable trading, implies judicious management and wise economies. Thc expense per acre may well be large, pro vined no part of il wiall bo unnecessary The point to be aimed at is to make tin expense per pound or per bushel of tin crop grown as light as possible, and to th this thc acre must be made to produce ? maximum number of pounds or bushels Wc find in the Rural New Yorker som? examples illustrating this principle: Mr Luther "Smith, of Chemung, New York raised a crop of corn, averaging two hun died and forty-one bushels of ears to th< acre, which at eighty cents a bushel tb the shelled corn, gave, for the gran alone, after deducting expenses, ti profi of seventy-one dollars and? tliirty-fiv cents per acre. lion. Harris Lewis, o Herkimer Co., New York, raised forty four tons of beets per acre, at a cost o less than five and a half cents per bushel or a little over one dollar and sevent; cents per ton, against a market value i seventeen dollars per ton. At this prie tlic cash product per acre would bc seve hundred and forty-eight dollars. Di ducting from this the cost of the act (seventy-eight dollars,) it leaves si hundred and seventy dollars as the nt profit. Mr. James Brodie, of New Yorl as slated in one of thc reports of tl agricultural department, raised a crop < turnips tit a cost of two cents and sevi mills per bushel. The product wi nearly one thousand six hundred btishc per acre. Maj. Le Rieux raised clov< near Summerville, S. C., (as reported thc Rural Carolinian,) at the rate nearly five tons to thc acre, at a cost seven dollars and fifty cents per to against a market value" of thirty dolli B per ton. Mr. Alfred Rose, of Penn Ya & N. Y., raised Irish potatoes during t last year at the rate of about six himdr bushels per acre, of which the cost v nine and a quarter cents per bushel, carrot crop of over one thousand bush per acre is reported from Wisconsin _,, _> L. L. Fairchild, of which thc cost was : cents per bushel. Corn fodder (fri drilled corn) has been reported in 1 Country Gentleman, at twenty-five ti {ier acre, and at a cost of forty-five am ndf cents per ton. "These arc exe tional cases," the reader may say. I fortunately they are, but the except may bc made the rule. They show wi 9 can bc done under favorable conditio We may divide the results hy two, a still have a good margin of profit. DOES THE WOHLD MOVE? An octogenarian, in a late number Appleton's Journal, gives sonic no worthy facts and figures bearing on dustrial progress, in 1810, while yet young man, he traveled through all < principal countries of Europe, niaki careful observations and taking notes thc people and their industries. Dur: the present year, he has again trave over thc same ground, giving special tention to thc same class of facts. 1 comparisons made on several points suggestive, as well.as interesting, but purpose here to note only a single ont them, as most striking and best adap to strengthen tho faith of those who lieve, in this faithless age, that thc wo moves. In 1810 thc entire white European population of the globe A one hundred and eighty millions. 1R75 it is three hundred and sixty i lions. Thc producing area of Europt 1875, ho found to be one thousand, i fifteen millions of acres, that of United .States is about two hundred fifty millions ot acres, and that of ot countries settled by Europeans ah thirty-five millions of acres-total, l"v" one thousand three hundred million acres. This area, l'or a populatioi three hundred and sixty millions, is three and two-thirds acres each, whit 1810 it required live and one-eig acres for the sustenance of each per; showing that the productiveness of producing surface of the earth must li become enhanced over fifty per cent at least one-half, in order that three two-thirds acres should now support many lives as five and one-eighth tn did formerly. "Had the ncquisitioi this great, significant fact," our oct? narian adds, "been the only result of long journeys through Europe. I she have considered my time and labor i spent." That throughout all the El pean world, three blades of corn i grow where but two grew liefore, asst us that four blades may yet be mail grow upon thc same area, and pu rest any fears that may have grown ?ts to the encroachments of popula upon the limits of subsistence. WHAT DO YOtT KNOW ABOUT GRAS! Wc wish herc to repeat a request n several years ago in these pages, with hope that our renders are now better parad than they wert; at that time tc us in solving an important problem, wish to know, for thc benefit of farmers and planters of the south gi ally, just where and under what ci lions of soil, climate, and season, cl and the grasses can be raised, and v and under what conditions they cai be raised. Wc care for no man's pr ceived notions on these points, want-thc evidence of experience, huudreds of farmers in all parts o country each try an experiment clover and some one or more of tin tl vated grossest this fall, if it be on u quarter of an acre, and thc first will bave bccn,taken toward tho solution ol' thc problem. Our own observation and experience lend us to think that thc question is really one of preparation and fertility, rather than ?d' locality, climate or general character of soil, though thc latter is not without its influence. Clo ver and thc grasses do well in the south on good, strong clayey soils, well manured and thoroughly prepared. This is no longer an open question. Are there not loamy and sandy soils on which, if made equally rich antl^cqtially well prepared, they ?viii do vvcll also '? On this point we need further experiments. LIME FOR UKASS AND THE SMALL GRAINS. A dressing of lime on land to he sown with wheat,oats orcloverand thc grasses, Js, in a majority of cases, one of the most remunerative applications that eau nc made, provided lime can he procured at reasonably low rates, lt is not merely as plant-fond thu Mime is useful, it is still more important as a preparer of plant food. Its reaction with thc acids of the soil, its strong action upon decaying veg etable matter, and its faculty of convert ing clay into mud, and rendering it me chanically lit for culture, are some of its more obvious uses, and, ns a general rule, it may bc assumed Hutt thc land which is the richest in vegetable substances will benefit most by the free usc of Hine, and gravelly sand tho least. It is an open cutest ion how much, or rallier how little, iniic may be profitably applied per acre. The English farmers usc lime heavily, putting on their fields at the rate of from scvcnty-fivfl to one hundred bushels pei acre, and make one application do for :i number of years. Lighter dressings made yearly do belter herc-SUV from, five tc twenty bushels, depending upon thc amount of vegetable mittler in thc soil and its acidity. Our Charleston marl lime, or calcined marl, is better than thc ordinary stone Hine. WHAT EVEItYIIODY KNOWS-OF COU USE li it is wortli while to make cotton at all, as wc all believe-showing our faitli by our works-it is surely worth while tc save iL all in the best possible condition, when made; yet lhere is always a culpa ble neglect among planters iii this partic ular-neglect to pick at thc proper time ; slovenly work in picking, which allow? mitch of thc lint to go to waste ; a lack of care in assorting the different quali ties, so that much lint of the highest grade must bc sold nt the price of tin lowest, simply because sonic portion ol the latter has been mixed willi it ; bat ginning, reducing gt o 1 cotton to tin market value of au inferior quality, am so on. This should not he tolerated Docs not every intelligent planter knov that-thc original quality being thc snnv -clean, well ginned, cotton command ill market from one and a half to twi cents mote per pound than .' trashy cot toil?" Of course, everybody knows nevertheless, immense quantities < trashy cotton lind their way lo market and {hese words of caution are not r< pealed without reason. SOWING (?KASS ANO CLOVER WITH GUA I> One great cause of failure with grass i thc south has been the seeding of til crop with the small grains. This is common practice at thc north, and w were formerly inclined lo favor it, br later experiments force us to thc conch sion that in our climate at least, tl practice is a bad one, and that it is h more profitable to sow each by itself, sown immediately,(when not already ii grass and clover will, on suitable soi attain such a growth before the lu weather of next season sets in, as will i sure them against injury, without tl shade of the grain, which will bo injun by thc clover and grass, while injin u them in return. In any case, thc lal for clover and thc grasses should be ri< and thoroughly prepared by deep, clo ploughing, followed by harrowing, pr vious to which a good dressing of supe phosphate, may he applied with adv? tage. I ?rush 'tightly to cover and, e cent hil heavy soils, hy all means roll tl fields with a tolerably heavy roller. Til last is an important and too general neglected process. If you arc to sow bo clover and thc grasses on the same fiel it is best to sow thc clover by itself, the seed does not mix well with thc gm seed. The various kinds of grass sci may bc mixed before sowing.-Rur Carolinian. A Bit of Horse Biography. There is an undeveloped force in tl bone, brain, nerve and musido of t! American horse which is well worth co sidering. Flora Temple '.vas the fu horse that ever beat 2;z0; and com nar with what had been done by any hoi fifty years ago, the achievement wai little short of a new and remarkable rc olution of equine power. At tho age four this mare was sold by Samuel Welt near Utica, N. Y.. to William II. Coi don, of Smyrna, in the same state, I thirteen dollars, because she was an II promising, unmanageable little thu Slr. Congdon was glad to get rid of li for sixty-eight dollars. After one or ti more changes not noted, she passed in the hands of Mr. Jonathan Vielee, Dutchess county, at $175. _JIc took li to thc city of New York and sold her George E. Perrin for 8350, In 1850,Tl E. Perrin bought her for $67"). In Iii she trotted a mile on the track at Ka mazoo in 2:19$, Flora Temple is st living, and is strong and vigorous at t agc. of thirty. During her turf can slie won 7!l races, mile heats, ll two lil heats, and 'J of three miles. .She a Goldsmith Maid will be shown at t centennial.

I lei afoul from such trotters ns Goldsm!

Strip it of its skin and cut it in pieces about the si/.e of one's hand; place it in water and allow it lo simmer on the stove until it becomes tender. It should never bc allowed to boil. Boiling hardens and darkens the fish, and deprives it of much of its flavor. RESTORATIVES FOR THE SicK.-vI?akc two calf's feet in two pints of water, and thc same quantity of new milk in a jar, closely covered, three hours and a half. When cold remove the fat. Put in what ever flavor is liked; tito flavoring eau bo baked in it; a little cinnamon, lemon-peel or mace; add sugar after. A Goon DENTIFRICE.-Dissolve two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water; before quite cold add one teaspoon ful of tincture of myrrh, and one table spoonful of spirits of camphor. Bottle the mixture for use. Add one wineglass full of the solution to ball a pint sf tepid water, and use it daily. It preserves and beautifies the teeth and arrests decay. TOM An ) P UESEN V ES.-Take sou m 1. ri pe tomatoes, scald and peel, then add as j much white sugar by weight as you have | tomatoes, and let them stand over night; "drain off thc syrup, and bring to a boil and skim well; put in the tomatoes and boil gently twenty minutes; remove thc fruit and boil the syrup until it thickens; Lput the fruit into jars and pour thc syrup over, add a few slices ?tl* lemon to each jar, and you will havesoinctbingexecllciit. MARINO PICKLES.-Wash thc cucum bers, nut a layer in the barrel, and sprinkle on a teaspoonful of salt, then cucumbers alternately; pour on boiling water enough to cover them, let them stand twenty-four hours, then pour off I the brine, scald and turn ?tontile eitcum- j hers two successive days; then take them from thc brine, wipe them dry, and scald good cider vinegar and pour on them hot. For a barrel of pickles, put in a bag one half pound of ground cloves and allspice each, a piece of alum the sice of an English walnut; and horse radish not sliced. Scald the vinegar and pour on hot several times to make the pickles hard and green. They will keep until cucumbers conic again, if they are stirred often. CARE OK Tin: FEET.-Concerning this subject, the Scientific. American very truly says: "Many are careless in the keeping of the feet. If they wash them once a week they think they are doing well. They do not consider that the hugest pores are located in the bottom of the foot, and that the most ofiensivc mat ter is discharged through the pores. They wear stockings from the beginning to the end of the week without change, which become perfectly saturated with offensive in itier. Ill health is generated by such treatment of thc feet. The pores are not repellants, but absorbents, and this fetid matter, to a greater or less ex tent, is taken back into the system. The feet should be washed every day with pure water only, as well as (the armpits, from which an offensive odor is also emit ted, unless daily ablution i ls practiced. Stockings should not be warn more than a day or two at a time. They may he j worn one day and then aired and sunned j and worn another day, if necessary." Cabincl or Parlor Organs. These have become the most popular ' of large musical instruments. There are now about two hundred and fifty makers of them in the United States, which pro duce more than forty thousand organs per annum. Most ol these are very poor instruments. This is naturally so, be cause there are few articles in thc manu facture of which so much saving can be made hy thc usc of inferior improperly prepared material, and inferior work manship, mid yet whicli, when finished, | show so little difference to the average j purchaser. The important parts of an i organ, made as well as they can be, cost two or three times as much as if made as j low as possible. Yet, when the organ is j done, it is not easy from casual hearings | to tell thc difference between thu best and a very poor one. Especially when shown by one who knows how to cover up defects, to one who has riot special ! skill in such matters, it is not difficult to j make a poor organ appear a good one. The temptation to makers, then, lo , produce, at a fraction of the cost, au or- j gan which will sell almost as well as a good one*vi almost irresistible. Hence the fact that so few good organs are made and so many poor ones, and that the country is,flooded with peddlers and dealers selling these poor organs, which pay such large profits. The buyer of the poor organ does not fail to find out his mistake after a while. The thin reedy tone of his cheap organ soon becomes ofiensi vc ; it works noisily and roughly, is constantly out of order, and becomes useless by thc time a really good instru ment would have been getting into its prime. A good organ ought to last a generation, at least ; a poor one may last five years, with considerable tinkering,or break down much sooner. There is one safe way. Get a genuine production of one of the very best liiak- i ers and you cannot go astray. Among these undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., whose organs are so well known that other makers are generally content to claim i that they can make an good an organ as j tho Mason ec Hamlin. They invented ! and introduced thc Cabinet or Parlor Organ" in its improved form, started will? . and have always closely adhered to the policy of making only the best work, | have shown such skill as have given ! their organs the highest reputation, not ' only in this country but also in Eurolie. ! At the great exposition nt Vienna, ?ri competition with eighty of the best mnk- ; era in the world, they obtained tho high- ? cst medals. To enumerate tho"' compe titions at'^whieh they have received similar "honors would be lo give a list'nf thc fairs at which they h ave exhibiten* and to mention the prominent musicians who recommend lucir organs as un equaled would really be to give a very good list of thc most illustrious musical names in the country, with a good reprc sensation in Europe. i One who obtains a Mason & Hain lin Cabinet Organ need have no doubt that ho has the best instrument of its class which can b,e made.-New York Lute- \ pendent. ____________ FEVERS seldom make an attack with- j oat warning, ami may often be thrown oil' by i soaking tlx- feet in wann water, wrapping up wami in bcd, ami taking two ur three ot' J'ttr- j Min's PttrpuUrc /'ills._. i A MISSIONARY, just returned says he regards ,/ofivsun's Anodyne Liniment as be yond nil pric?, amt cflicuclous beyond any oilier nictlielne.
