Although some of our Alabama farmers well understand the advan tages of small, rich, compact farms, yet many seem to persist in ad hering to old ruts ; operating an extensive sterile surface (made so by exhaustion) with all the apper taining drawbacks, such as keep ing up extensive inclosures, slip shod, shallow and untimely plow ing, scanty manure, etc., resulting in poor crops, both as to quantity and quality ; besides, loss of time, wear and tear and sowing, reaping, hauling ansi housing, difficulty in keeping down weeds, brier. and numerous other disadvantages too tedious to mention. Better draw in fences, sell or even give away the surplus fields, unless you have capital and force for large opera tions. Plow deep in the fall or winter, and manure thoroughly the reserved acres. If careful atten tion and high feeding produce fine stock, there is no reason why high manuring and high culture should not produce great yields and pro fitable crops. There is, of course, a point beyond which manuring becomes waste, but it is hardly probable that any farmer is likely to reach it. Each farmer had better find out by experience what fertilizer is best suited to his soil and crops. This can soon be ascertained, and trials in a small way are inexpen sive. The experience of others in this regard (soils being various) may lead to inefficiency and loss ; the diversified character of soils renders this course absolutely ne cessary to insure the greatest bene fit from almost any commercial fer tilizer, and also to what extent it will profit him to use it. We repeat,.that in our present circumstances and situation, and, in fact,. under almost any circum stances, the proper cultivation of small, rich farms has so many ad vantages over large ones that it is really strange that more of our farmers do not adopt this system. Many of them have children, both sons and daughters, who, unless provided for, will be compelled to seek homes in western wilds, or re main here in almost hopeless pov erty, unsettled and dissatisfied. Better divide and let them have the portions you expect to give them, when you become old and will only want a surface four by eight feet. They would then know what to be at. These different portions would soon be improved and utilized as they should be. And then the satisfaction of having one's chil dren comfortably settled around and contiguous to the old home stead can only be appreciated by those who have tried it. The sea sons bring around the holidays. The Christmas turkey and sweet potato pies come once a year, with all the sarviving loved ones present under the paternal roof, where all can enjoy each other's presence and the good cheer and the boun teous board. If our children have already dis persed and ignored farming better by far sell or give the honest poor man our useless broom-sedge acres. Give them homesteads, if they can not buy ; or, at any rate, allow them easy terms and set them to work. They will soon mnake things look different. The State cannot afford to continue hsing this valua-I ble part of her population. Help them at home; retain the popula tion, and aid in reviving the pros perity and in utilizing the vast re ,-uce that turn within their bor-. that we should no longer with hold them from the consideration of our brother farmers. [Southern Farmer. BREEDING INSTEAD OF PURCIIAS ING Cows.-No one will deny that one essential requisite to success in dairying is to have good cows to the business, and in considering how this is to be obtained it is evident that the surest way is to rely upon breeding animals upov the farm where they are to be used, rather than purchased at random from droves, providing that a kind or race of animals can be found that will transmit desirable qualities or excellencies from. generation to generation with reasonable cer tainty. Experience teaches us that we cannot rely upon the common stock of the country to obtain from cultivated breeds which have been long bred in reference to special qualities, and have in con sequence a fixed type in this re gard. I think our dairymen need not look bevond fouror five breeds of thorough-bred cattle for obtain ing desirable results, namely, the Shorthorns, Ayreshires, Devons, Alderneys, and the Dutch or Hol stein cattle. There are other breeds more or less famous in the districts where they originated ; such as the Galways, the Kerrys, the Herefords, the Bretons, the Swiss and other European rarities, some of them, at least, when transport ed from their native districts, have not given such satisfaction, on the whole, as the breeds I have named. Heifers should be handled freely before calving, that they may be come used to their keeper. Be very gentle with them after calv ing, as being milk is a new sensation to them, and they may not quite understand all the whys and wherefores at first. Punishment by whipping never does any good, but often much harm, If gentle treatment will not cause them to stand quietly, we sometimes buckle a strap around their hind legs just above the gambrels or hocks, cross ing the strap between the legs. This will keep the feet out of the pail, and usually a heifer so ham per'ed will yield to discipline in a short time. If the teats are sore or tender, apply a little linseed oil each day, before and after milk ing, till cured. [New England Farmer. Thbe pecan, a branch of the hick ory family, appears to be a success in all parts of the South from Vir ginia to the gulf. It flourishes on any soil, from the rich delta lands of the Mississippi to the sandy barrens of "the mother of States and Statesmen." The tree is hardy. and may be raised as readily as the black walnut; is prolific, yield ing a nut that sells well. Its culture might be made very profitable in many parts of the country;. and in orchard once established would remain many years without r quiring any labor save that of col lecting the c-op. r Atlantic Homestead. SLEEPLEssNESS.-POOr sleepers will be benefited by raising the head of thie bed ten inches higher than the foot, and then sleeping on a rather thick hair pillow, so as to bring the head a little higher than the shoulders. The bed should be neither very hard nor very soft, the bedding porous, the room airy and the feet warm. Persons with a sensitive skin should have as light~ cloth ing as possible. GRANGEs.-Men of almost every other class in life are combined in some manner, and there is not the least reason why the farmer, for practical as wvell as moral and in tellectual reasons, should not give himself the benefit of wbat social combination which results so bene icially among artisans. The me canic has his trade nnion, and the farmer may easily have his ulub, his society or his grange. To IIAVE SOLID OLD FURNITURE., -Native black walnut is the best wood for bedroom and dining room urniture. The grain of this wood is quite open and will absorb a great deal of raw oil without be coming polished. If a little gum opal is mixed with the oil, in a short time the wood will become s hard, smooth and highly pol1 ished as a piece of bronze. SUET.-W hen it is necessary to chop suet for any culinary purpose, if flour is sprinkled over it while choping, it will prevent the Jiscellaneous.

WHAT IS QUEEN'S DELIGHT ? Read the Answer It is a plant that grows in the South, and is spe cially adapted to the cure of diseases of that climate. It is NATURE'S OWN REMEDY, Entering at once into the blood, expelling all scrof ulous, syphilitic, and rheumatic affections. Alone, it it a searching alterative, but when combined with Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, and other herbs, it forms Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, The most powerful blood purifier known tomedical science for the cure of old ulcers, diseased joints, foul discharges from the ears and nostrils, abscesses, skin diseases, dropsy, kidney complaint, evil effects of secret practices, disordered liver and spleen. Its use strengthens the nervous system, imparts a fair com plexion, and builds up the body with HEALTHY, SOLID FLESH. As an antidote .to syphilitic poison it is strongly recommended. Hundreds of cases of the worst type have been radically cured by it. Being purely veg etable its continued use will do no harm. The best time to take it is during the summer and fall; and instead of debility, headache, fever and gu,you will en'oy robust health. Sold by all drgit. Price, di.co.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1876, 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 muchi more in this country, where there are no laws on the subject, arid 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 indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dogbutton, from which strychnine is ob tained,) are some of the delect.able substances found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be drowned at once in one of his own 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, knowing 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 ungrounid 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 excie, and the person so offending shall for feit five hnndred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet. the practice continues. Unless the American iublic 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 are 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 wisdomf 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.

"The last edition of the United States Dis-. pensatory was published in 1870. Since that time not only has the growth of pharmaco-. logical science been very great, but _there has also been promulgated a new edition of. the United States Pharmacopoia and a sup plement to the British Standard. The addi tions and alterations which have thus been ncessitated in the first and second por tions of the present volume are numerous and i,mportant. "The advance of our knowledge of extra ominal drugs has been even more exten ive, reqniring the addition to the third p)art f the Dispensatory of accounts of no less thani ninety-eight new substances, and, as in the cases of Propylanmia, Nitrite of Amyl, tc., a complete re-writing of many of the ld articles. The additions of course vary in importance, but many of them are be ieved to be of decided value. "No care or labor has been spared to ren er the present edition equal in accuracy and in comiple3teness to its predecessors. ' reat pains have been taken to omit super-] inous matter and to condense the text; but he additions have been so numerous that] he work has been augmented by about seventy pages. This increase is of course o be deprecated ; but without it one of the] hief values of the book would have been - mpaired, and it has seemed better to' have 1 few pages more of print than not to have complete representation of the pharma-] ological science of the day." g- For sale by Booksellers generally, or ill be sent, transportation free, upon re eip B. priPPbICOTT & CO., Publishers, 715 and 717 Market Street, Philadelphia.
