A Southirn farmer writes, ia the South, where the land is u utt&f- cleared by deadening the practises convenient, but more costly in the end (han complete clearing at the fir3t. Land is cleared, of the small timber at a cost of i about $3 per acre, wh le it costs at le#3t $2j to clear it completely. In general there is no practice that is*fcj common use with out some advantage, land this apples to the deadening, of the (timber in tne nrst clearing. "ViThere timber is scarce to dcadeu it is an economy, for otherwise the timber s burned' and destroyed. I have severS^ld fields) on which there is a Large quantity of standing timber, once of no value, but now! worth more than thecost of clearing for the lumber ajd fife wood in it. Timber will keep sound many "y^ars, and where there is no market for it and a possibility of a future value, it is a t visabie to kill and leave it for future use. The common method in the South is to ? leave the large tfmbir wlii^'a is not in the way of gtewing crops, and after a few ycara to seed the land to grass, an I gradually clear it otfat leisure. There is-ao damage or benefit to f&e iand in any way by leaving the timber to stand. ? 2$qw York Times. WARM WATSR FOB COWS. Warm water for cow* to drink is tho subject up for discussion in the collec tion*, and papers, at this time.. It is wonderful how much experimenting cia be done and how very little is found out. One wise man will try it here and como to owe conclusion while another I wise man will try it there and come to quite another conclusion, each thinking , he has settled the question forever. The outside party will read the reports and immediately see that each one of those parties tried the experiment under entirely different surroundings. One may have kept the cows warm and decided ia favor of cool water while th3 otrner reverse,. this by Keeping his cows cold and deciding in favor of warm water. The proper way Would seera to be first to put the tow in the proper con dition /both as to housing jind feeding agj^especiaily having plen&y of meat oa her bones, then try her with water at all the temperatures from Wood heat to freezing and the Qne she then thrives under is the best for a cow that is prop erty kept.

It resembles, the Agapaathus very much in foliage, though its leaves are broader, and hardly as long, an J are perhaps darker in color. It eends up its leaves and flowers from a large bulb, and increases rapidly. In order ta se cure strong, blooming plants is well to remove most of the young bulbs, as, if allowod to reoLain about the old plant, ths pot sooa becomes full of bulbsr and j as a result you will get but few flowers, j ; The Agapanth as, bears its flowers, which i are small, on the extremity of a tall j 8 talk, where the Imaatophyllum has a j stalk more like that of the Vallotta, and its flowers resemble those of that plant alua^st >ractly m shape, but tuey are unhkc in color, while those of the Ira antophyllum are an orange red. Prom I three to five f owers are borae in each fluster, and each flower lasts fhrerai days. The plant is evergreen in charac ter, and is one of those which can be i kept growing tae year round, like the * C.iila, wit:out injury. My piant has never hinted *? resting1, and from my experience with it I should hardly know how to go to work to make it rest if I wanted to. -As it blooms regularly each year, and has fine, large flowers, and seems in most perfect health, I do not insist on. its taking a rest, but keep it j growing steadily all the time. I cannot understiJnd wh? it is not mare extensive- j ly grown.o It is quite as attractive as ma&y varieties of the Amaryllis, and i much more easily grown. Indeed, my plant gets nb more caretharf ageraniam, and does as weil as I could wft a it to. It likes a good deal of water at its roots, ted a rather large pot.

[ ' The color of their plumage is also a i pretty good guide to their age and purity | of strain. The plumage of a young tur | fcey will sparkle with golden bronze and purple hues, which cannot be mistaken. It shines and flitters! in t^e sun as if it came out o[*tbe ?? lossy' black color of .their feathers. The downy feathera lie close to their bodies, and the whole bird jjs trim and pretty looking. There is an appearance general quickness and ?activity about itJieia, which is not notice able in j>oor breeds or in olid turkeys. When the cocks and hens have been selected for breeding purposes it should be remembered that the quality of the (Jock is to be kept up year after yea*. To do this the cocks are more essential than the hens. Young hem always par take more of the male parent than the fe male, and a full-bred cock will often transmit all of its good qualities to the young of a half-bred turkey hen. Part of the flock should be kept over every year for future breeding purposes, and only the best hens should be selected for this purpose. The color of the plumage, size and general activity of the hens should influence one in this choice. Then it may often be necessary to purchase one full bred cock, for this is the l>est way to keep up the strain of the family and prevent deteiioration. Qiite a number of flocks bronze turkeys have lost nearly all tbeir characteristics by tack of this pre caution. They need new blood and out side strains to give more vitality and strength to them. When this is neglected . the turkeys gradually become common, or dinary turkeys of the barnyard. ? Ameri can Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN ?NOTE'?. Perkia ducks do best where there is no water, Eggs cannot be produced without lime for the shells. The earlier the pullets are hatched the sooner they will begia laying. The beginning of the yeir is a good time to begin keeping account#. In small yaras two cocks are worso than none on account of fighting. * in-breeding is the father of a good deal of swine trouble. Change boars. 1 Extra care is needed wlttr tW chickens that are hatched early, but it wift pS^r*** Success with young chicks demands warmth, dryness, liberal feeding and pure air. A few days in the spring-, will make a considerable differcice in the price; try to be early. Never leave a horse aftsr driving in the mud .^ntil . his feet and legs are rubbed dry. - i When the fowls arc confiucJ. as they must be largely at this time, sca')by leg* will be more prevalent. The best market usually for targe tur keys is during the holidays; a:ter that medium fowls sell the best. ; The colt needs salt and the best way to give it is to; let hi^x "have Jree access to a manner or box Which contains salt. Teach the "boys in a practical way that the farm is the foundation of their, suc cess ia life, aud they will not flee to the city. With comfortable stables the horses will not sutler. But the more comfort able the stable the more the horse needs a blanket when left standing out-doors. Why not work the stalliou? You want the colts to work* and if the sire spends his life lffffie stall doing nothing won't he be likely to breed laziness into his colts? What is the use in paying tweki to twenty dollars' service fee-for a colt frcja a good horse and then making a scrub of it by roughing it through the first winter! Oats must be very high in your locality if you cannot afford to feel the colt and calves, some. ?n fact, if you have young animal] that are worth raising at all, yo? cannot aSord to go without feeding oats. Experimenters on th<^ other side of the Atlantic have found that by a cheap method of supplying atmospheric elec tricity to the growing crop, the yield of potatoes has been increased from 300 m 450 bushels per acte. ! J. J. Mcchi, the well known Engllsfc. scientific farmer, says that while he hates cruelty, he thiuks it real huuwity to re move the horns of cattle* aid at the cast'of temporary suffering to secure ! them a peaceful enjoyment for. the rest of their lives. ' < ,z._ An intelligent fai mer, milking twenty one cows, state ! that live of these did not pay their way, though the average production of the whole herd was 225 pounds j early. At the same time he could not see that it would be for his interest to dispose of the five aud milk sixteen. Don't be afraid of starting sheep. You cannot lose even il you do not gain largely at lirst. Stu ly aud application will make you an expert, when you may safeay increase your flock. No stock needs less daily care, costs lev* to main tain, and pays better and surer divi dends. Begin small. A correspondent oJ the Santi Barbara (Cal.)

How to Extinguish UH ,Firei in an article from Edward Atkinson in vouf papetV writes a correspondent of the Scientific American, he recommends ?and to extinguish oil fire.3. It is good, if nothing belter is at hand ; but sand is too heavy and settles to the bottom too quick. Common wheat bran or any kind of mill feed is far better, as is is a betlecjibsorbent and lighter and spreads easier. Oil twain.;; in a vessel or on the surface of water cannot be extinguished by sand , as it" sraks too quickly ; bat if a handful of bran be thrown t>o, it will smother out the flame before it gets saturated and sinks.

Text: <lAU this came upon the King Nebuehdjbkezzar.1' ? Darnel iv./ 28. * ColcnieftlawlinsOTi, the oriental traveler, says that'flte exhumed bricks, not only of Babylon, ait of a hundred towns in an area of one bunked miles in length and thirty in breadth, jHf inscribed with the nar*e of NebnchadnRzar. He was a great warrior and at the glance of his sword nations pros trated themselves. : He was a great king and built a city reservoir ninety miles in cir cumference and ode huhdred and twenty feet deep, and constructed a hanging garden four hundred feet equare and seventy -Aw feet high, soma say to please Amuhia, his wife, who had been born among the -hills, and others say to get a pleasure ground f&e from the mosquitoes, which afflict the le#k. 1 think from his character the latter reason may have impelled him as much as the former. When he conquered King Zed ekiah, so as to have no more trouble with him, he put his eyes out? <1 most barbarous way of incapacitating an enemy. But Babylon was a great place, the houses surrounded by gardens and the housetops were connected with each other by bridge*, and one day Nebuchadnezzar walked out on those sus pension bridges and showed, perhaps to a royal visitor, the vastness of nis rearm as the sun kindles the domes with glistening i almost insufferable and the great street* j thunder up their pomp into the ear of tb?_j monarch, and armed towers stand around adorned with spoils of conquered err pf res. i Nebuchadnezzar waves his band abfeve the* stupendous scene an i exclaims, "Is nkt this great Babylon that I havo built Cor the house of the kingdom by the migfe' of my jx>wer and /for the Tiduor ot my majesty?" In eth/onrords: "IVpat a great man I am. Babylon was ilst anything until J aJorne l it. Bee those water works; sea those gar dens; see those fort*. I did all this. I shall never be forgotten. Why, my name is on every brick in all those walls Just look at me. I am more than a man." But in an instant all that splendor is gone from his vision, for a yoice falis from heaven, saying, "0 King' Nebucha:ne%?ai\ to thee- it is spoken: the kingdom is departed from thee, land thoy sha\l thrive thee from men and t ;y dwelling shall be with the beasts of the fields; they shal / make thee to eat grass as oxen, and ?ev<^i times shall pass Over thee, until thou knW that the Most High rnleth in the kingaom of men and giveth it to whomsoever He will." One hour from the time he had made the boast he i? on his way to the iields a maniac, and fmhing into the forests he btcomesas one of the beasts, and is after awhile cov ered with eaglerf featit^rs for protection from the cold,-and his nails grow to look like "birds' claws, in order that ha may dig the earth for roots and climb the trees for nuts. The mental disaster that seized him was what the Greeks called lycauthropy, by which a man imagines himself a b'jast and prefers to go out and mingle with brutes. He who had been eating pomegranates and apri cots off of plate* of gold inlaid, with , jftnethyst ?j*d diamond, and drinking the r richest wines frOm the royal vat*, now ijroiv ? eing off grass, and struck by -toe horn of the ox as he contends for a better tuft of the pasturage^ and instead of an orchestra on Benches of ivory playipg the national airs, now listening to the moan and bellow and gmnt of the beasts. This is not hnrd for me to belitva for the forms of dementia are in numerable. i U..V ? A few years ago, "arriving in a city on a summer afternoon, while waiting for my engagement in the evening! sauntered forth Into what seemed to be a park injront of a large public building, the use of which I knew .not. I met a gentleman, with whom I fell into delightful conversation, and.be seemed intel ligent op all subjects. After awhile I said, "Let us sit down on this bench and rest awhile and enjoy the scene of verdufeand fountains." "No," saidne. VYousftAown, bub I tennofc. * I am made of .glass, and if 1 should Ht down I would break to pieces." Then 1 saw that he was insane and belonged to the large building just behind us. After such an interview as that I can easily believe this account of my text.. Here w Nebuchadnezzar on all fours. He once prided himself on being more than a man, and now b? turns out less than a man.

No human power could engineer this train of immortal faculties. How strange it is that our memory, on whose shoulders all the successes and mis fortunes and occurrences of a lifetime are placed, should not oftener break down, and that the scales of judgment, which have been weighing so hluch and so long, should, not lose their adjustment, and that fancy. < which holds a dangerous wand, # should not sometimes maliciously wave it, bringing into the heart forebodings and hallucinations the most appalling. It is not strange that the expectations of this intellect should hot; be dashed to pieces on its disappointments* Though so delicately attuned, thi? instru ment ot untold harmonies plays on, though fear shocks it, fend vexations rack it. dad sorrow and joy and loss and gain in quick succession beat out of it their dirge or draw from it their anther}).

How many fine intellects are being de stroyed by anodynes and an aesthetics, which were given by Providence for occasional in alleviation of pain or insomnia, but by be-' ing employed continuously after awhile cap ture and destroy. Chloral, cocoaine, bro mide of potassium, opium and whole shelves of seductive etceteras that bel{) turn Nebuchadnezzars into imbecility into mad ness. Do not trifle with opiat?s that benumb the bram. If you caunot live without the perpetual and tmslaving use of them, you had better die. Better die a sane many than live a fool. What right^ have you . t your brain and put in~wil'l jangle nervous system? But^rum is the ca " anytb' more insanity than anything else. Thi nothing like rum to put a man, Nebuchadnezzer, down ou all fours. Again, learn bonujuickly turns the wheel of fortune, from hoiv high up to how JBar down went Nebuchadnezzar. Those now in places of position and power, even though they should live. will in a few years be dis regarded, while some, who this day are ob scure and poverty stricken, will ride up on the shoulders o^ the people to take their turn at admiration and the spoils of office. Oh, how quickly thj wheal turns ' Ballot boxes are the steps oii which men come down as often as they go up. Of those who were a few years ago successful in the accumulation of psoperty how few have not met with re verses of fortune,- while many of those who then were straifcenei in circumstances now hold the bonds and the bank keys of the na tion and win the most bo?vs "ou the ex change. Of all fickle people in the world Fortune is the most fic?cle. Every day she changes her mind, and. woe to that man who puts any confidence ! j'd what she promises or proposes: She cheers when you go ud arid laughs when yon come down. " Ob, trust not a moment your heart's affections to this changeable world. Anchor yonr soul in God. From Christ's love gather your joy. Then come sorrow or gladness;* success or defeat, riches or poverty, honor or disgrace, health or sickness. life or death, time or eternity, all are yours and we are Christ*s and Christ is God's. .... Learn also from my subject the comfort . ing truth that afflictions are arrested as soon as they have accomplished their . mission. For seven years did Nebuchadnezzar dwell among the br-asts of the field, but at the expiration of that time his reason returned, and as soou as with proper humility he acknowledged the God of heaven he was brought his palaca and reinstated in his l'ormer arfhwuee and power. Now it does seerji that when heavy trials come upon us itjgr&s- though they had no limit. We exclaim, ?Ul thy waves and thy billpwB have gone over me." but forget"1 that ;ho depth of that sea and the power of that Dillow are definitely determined. God sees how much our pride is and He sends just enough adversity to humble it. He sees just how worldly minded we are and pulls us just hard enough to detach us from our follies, lie sees bow hard our heart it and smites just; hard enough to break it. He sees how our eyes have been blinded and Ho cuts only just enough#?remove the scales from our spiritual vision.*- As sooa a* Abraham's laitb is sufficiently tried the lamb is provided: As soon as Pharaoh con sents to let the children of Israel depart the plague pauses. As soon as the Israelites have been sufficiently disciplined by their wander ings they find their way into Canaan. But tosome the limit is not 'set in this life. Their whole pilgrimage is through the wilderness and the world is to them a vallev of tears. But perhaps (rod has a special throne in heaven that no ordinary saint can occupy, and by extraordinary trials He has prepared that Christian soul lor extraordinary glorv. God will not keep you in the furnac? on? moment too long. Just as soon as Paul had met with enough imprisonment and scourg ings he reached yp and plucked his eternal crown. God will keep us no longer under the hammer and on the stocks thau is neces sary to fit us for entrance into the haven of eternal rest. Gldry be to the divine grace that, as soon as our afflictions have accom plished their mission, they are arrested. The defeats and sorrows of life have some times been the srreatest advantage. It ???? because Dante Sailed as a statesman that he gave up politics and wrote ijis innrfortal "Divinia Coanuedia." It w^g a violent thunderstorm that first set Martin Luther seriously thinking, and thethuu ler of this world's disaster nasstartel aj reformation. James Y. Simpson went from a surgeon's operating table to experiment and see if he could not fin i-sontething that would alleviate human pain, and he kept on until ho had dis covered chloroform as an ana?;thetic, and the storyt^f distress has almost always been followed by tha story of rescue. For many years after Shakespeare's death his work was so tittle appreciate i that in 1000 mere was only one edition of bis works, and that of only "three hundred copies, in existence, and that edition was nearly all burned in thegreat London fire. But forty eight copies bad b.-en sold out of the city, and those forty-eigat copies saved Shakes peare for all nations an J all time. Your suppression on a smaller scale may last a pood while, but lor all1 yon are worth you will yet shine our, on earth or in heaven. Again, learn from my subject /that con- | necC?U with the most distressing judgments ! of God there are display* of divine mercy. ? God might justly have left Nebuchadnezzar \ in the field, but iufiuite compassion brought ' him back to the palaoe. No^ooner was Eden \ blasted than a buying followed on the heels of the (hiree promising the \coming of One who would desfrcy sin an 1 muke the whole world a paradise.

The one held - on to his Christian hope, and one day when ^ they prssed him hard and were telling bow much infidelity had done for the world, and that Crtftianity had done nothing, tJw per secute Christian turned upon th?*aud pointing to Henry and George, who had for ?a Uttlo while followed Christ and then turned back, ho said: uYou have tried your principles on them and knjw what they have done for them. When tbey tried to serve Christ they were v civil, good, tempered, kind husbands and fathers. Hey were cheerful, industrious and raaly to oblige. What have you made themf Look and see. They are oast down and cress; their months are full of cursing and illthiness; they are drunk every week ; their children half i-lothed. tbrir wive* broken .Morted, their homes wretched. That is what your principles have done. Now; I have tried Christ and His religion and what has it done for faef You know well what I used to be.

God bo , praised, here is what Christianity has dnna lor me, i&ere is wbat ln&iehty has done for Henry aiidGeorge." Out of this audience I oould gather a thou* eand men and women who could tell you as thrilling a story a* that as to what religion | hasdotie for them. Yea, if times of perse cutionsfciould come as of old, and they may come, tb<?y are a thousand here who would for 'Ohrii it's sake as cheerfully walk into the furnace of fire as though it were an arbor of thynui and honeysuckle, and .face the lions as though they were lambs of frisking of the hiillside, and wade dowu into the deep waters which are to submerge them as hap* pily as ever at Narraganaett beach they took the surf at a summer bathing.

How a IKoosicr Flaps {lis Wings* William Hamilton Gibson, who ia a trained observer of plants aud animals, satisfied himself some lime ago that a rooster makes the flapping noise that ac? companies his crowing by striking hit wings together over his back. The pop ular notion is that the bird produces the noise by striking his wings against his hard, fat thighs. Mr. Gibson discus$cd the subject with a farmer once, and the latter laughed at the artist's idea and said: "I've beea brought up among chickens and I guess I know how a rooster flaps his wings/' "Very good, said Mr. Gibson, 4 'but just watch your own fowls for a week and tell me what you think then."
