We have much poor land in the UnitedsStates, and an immense area of good land. The poor land will be'used to grow timber, or be improved by converting more or less of it, gradually, into pasture, and stocking it with sheep and cat. t- tle. The main point is, to feed the . sheep or cattle with some rich nitrogenous food, such as cotton " seed cake, malt sprouts, bran, shorts, mill-feed, refuse beans, or bean-meal made from beans injured by,the weevil, or bug. In short, the owner of such land m'ust buy such food as will furnish the most nutriment. and make the richest manure at the least cost-taking both of these objects into conmider. ation. He will also buy more or les artificial manures, to be used for the prodapton of fodder crops, such as corn, -millet, Hungarian grass, etc. And -as soon as a por tion of the land can be made rich enough, he will grow more or less mangel wurzels, sugar beets, tur nips, and other root crops. Super y hosphate will be found admira ; t&y adapted for this purpose, and Awo, three, or four hundred pounds of cheep potash salts, per acre, can frequently be used on fodder crops, in connection with two or three hundred pounds of superpho3phate, with considerable profit. The whole subject is well worthy of careful study. Never in the history of the world has there been a gran der opportunity for the application of science to the improvement of agriculture than now. On the richer lands, the aim of the farmer will. be to convert the plant food lying dormant in the soil into profitable crops. The main point is good tillage. In many cases weeds now run away with half our crops and all our profits. The weeils which spring up after the grain crops are har vested, are not an unmixed evil. They retain the nitrogen and other pfant food, and when tarned under make manure for the succeed - ing crops. But weeds among the growing crops are evil, and only SeviL Thorough plowing is the - remedy, with drainage where need ed.-Joseph Harris, in Am. Agi culturTist for Nov. PAr.LEY I WrmTn.-It is very eayto have a supply of parsley aH winter. Take up the plants from the garden, cut off al] but a ew small leaves at the centre of the tuit, and plant them in a box. of good soil. Another method is, to take a keg-a nail keg will an *swer; bore numerous inch or inch and-a-half holes in its sides. Place $' the parsley with the crown at the ~;holes and the roots extending hor isoataHly into the keg, gradually S filling in with earth to hold them in place. Finish by planting some roats upright at the top. Either -bxor keg, if supported at -a kitch en window and watered as.needed, will give o supply of fresh leaves all winter. The residents of cities who have no gardens, can buy parsley for this purpose in the markets,as it is usually sold with the roots attached, Those who are fond of parsley as a seasoning, and do not care to be at the tron ble of raisingit as above, may dry it readily and find it about as geod as fresh. Spread the leaves thinly on a pan; when the stove oven is not very hot, place this in it, and leave tbe door open. The parsley will dry very quickly; as soon as i. as crisp,*rub it between the hands into a powder, which is to be kept in bottleE, tightly closed.-Ameri anAgiriculturist for November. it will pray to spend a half day going through the -fields to see how many vacant spaces there are where seed has failed to come or has been destroyed by birds or in sects, and dropping into such spots a hill of bgns or squashes, or a few turnip seeds or cabbage plants. Such stolen crops are often a sac cess if properly looked after, and help to pay the interest and taxes on the land, which the lying idle will not do.

At 2 o'clock p. i., the first visitor showed up at the door of the office, and Dyre co-dially invited him in side. The farmer entered hesita tingly andremarked that he had expedted to meet the proprietor, with whom he had an appointment to discuss ensilage. "I am in charge of the Journal," said Dyke. "Oh, you are. Well, you seem to have a pretty office here.' "Yes," r3plied Dyke. "But about the ensilage. Ensilage is pretty good breed, in'st it?" "Breed!" exclaimed the farmer, "why-" "I mean it's a sure crop, some thing that you can reply-" "Crop! Why it isn't a crop at all." "Yes, yes I know it isn't a crop," said Dyke, prespiring until his-col lar began to melt away down the back of his neck," but you can do better and cleaner witn a good sharp ensilage on stubby ground, than--" "Take it for a stubby plow, do you?" "No, no," said Dyke. "You don't seem to understand me. Now, if a farmer builds an ensilage on low ground-" . "Builds an ensilage! You seem to have got the thing mixed. up with some kind of grainary." "Pshaw, no," continued Dyke. "I must make myself plainer. You see this ensilage properly mixed with one part guano and three parts hypophosphate of antimony, with the addition of a little bran and tanbark, and the whole flavored with chloride of lime, makes a top dressing for strawberry beds which-" "Why ensilage isn't no manure." "No, certainly not," said Dyke. "I know it is not often used in that way. You don't catch my drift. When I said top dressing I meant turkey dressing-stuffing you know -for Thanksgiving-" "Great heavens, man! Ensilage isn't a human food." "No, not a human food exactly." said poor Dyke, grinning like an alshouse idiot, "it isn't food at all in the true sense of the word My plan has always been to lasso the hog with a trace chain, and after pinning his ears back with a clothespin, put the ensilage into his nose with a pair of tweezers." "My good lands! You don't use ensilage to ring hogs?" The farmer slowly rose, and with some evidence of rheumatic wings in his legs. "Young man," he said solemnly, "you are a long ways from home, ain't you?" "Yes," replied Dyke, dropping his eyes beneath the stern glances of the farmer. -"In my ancestral halls in England sad eyed retain ers wearily watch and wait for my return." "Go home, young man, go home to your feudal.castle, and while on your way across the rolling deep muse on the fact that ensilage is simply canned-food for live stack put up expressly for family use in a silo, which is nothing less than an air tight pit where corn-stalks, grass, millet, clover, alfalfa and other. green truck is preserved for winter use, as green and verdant as the sub editor of The Farmer's Friend and Cultivaitors' Chaimpion." Wouw HAvE AN EA.sx TiE. "Say, how long do these mosquitoes bite?''- asked a guest of an Arkan saw hotel, as a colored gentleman entered with a pitcher of water "I have been lying here fighting 'em for air hour. How long do you suppose they will keep np this business?" "Well, I dunno, sah. 'Cordin' ter how mnanny da is." "There are ten thousand." "in dat case, sah, it's cordin' ter how hungry da is." "They are as hungry as wolves.' "Den yer's mighty likely ter bab trouble wid 'em, sh." "Why don't you pat a bar over the bed?" "'Case nobody e ber sleeps in die room but one night.

Iiscox & Co., call especial atten tion to the fact that after April 16, 1883, the name and style of this preparation will here after be simply "Parker's Tonic." The word "Ginger" is dropped for the reason that un principled dealers are constantly deceiving their patrons by substituting inferior prepa rations under the name of Ginger ; and as ginger is an unimportant flavoring ingredient in our Tonic, we are sure that our friends will agrce with us as to the propriety of the change. There "will be no change, however," in the preparation itself; and all bottles re maining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of "Parker's Ginger Tonic," contain the genuine medicine ift the signa ture of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of out side wrapper.
