FARM AND GARDEN. Catoxges versut loos.-The-e Is hotween the nations of thl globe a con tinual warfare even when th'y do not shoot or sabre-each other. For while actual fighting with guns and swords may cease at some distant time, even the millennium would not do away with competion. * And competion In the ordinary walks of life would de. stroy the weak and lead to a survival of the fittest, that is to say, the strong eat and most gifted. As with human beings so with ant mals and plants,nature is a stern task master. Only those are allowed to Increase which are capable of improve ment and even of rapid Improvement. If they fail in the development of their physical and mental faculties, they are soon replaced by other animals, or plants which have outstripped them In the universal race for perfection. - Now among the domesticated ant. mals, the pig has been hitherto con sidered the consumer of garbage par excellence and is kept and tolerated mainly for this reason. Twenty years ago the rabbit was brought forward in compotition, but It was not a success. France certainly adopted rabbits and turned a cold shoulder to the fat and dirty pach yderm but the swine did not care. If Frenchmen lived on rabbits pork retained its away nearly every where else and they grunted -dellance alike at the tidy little rabbits and their polite protectors. What else might be expected of frog-eaters like them ? Lot them take their custom elsewhere and welcome. People with sense and a digestion would require pork for ever and aye; Americans, Engiislinen and Germans would know how to appreci ate its merits. The pigs ieally held their own in the market as well as in argument. But of late there Is a fresh stir among them, for another anImal is pushing them hard in the struggle for the post of honor among the viands which are daily converted into human beauty, human energy, human intelligence by the processes of mast.ieation and diges tion throughout this broad land of ours. The feathered birds, ducks, geese and turkeys, and especially chickens have entered the lists against them and lustily crow a challenige for the position on the national bill of fare which has been for generations con sidered as being above the aspirations of even the most ambitious birds of any family whatever. Poultry, as is well known, consume garbage quite as well as pigs an(d miuch more thoroughly. Their personal qualities are in some respeti less of lensive and if some people cainlot stand their morning song, why the lay of a full-grown porker or the squeals of his sons and heirs are also far from agreeable to the human oar. The drawbacks therefore whicli may be laid to the charge of the winged creatures are comparatively ligit. Ilovever there is against thema one tralt in the character of birds that ought to be Judged. with more thian human leniency - their fligiiness. it is easy enough to herd swine. Let them settle in some convenient bog or marsh and they will not move out of it on their own account, for pigs are philegmnatic. B5ut try to keel) ciclkens penned up in a yard be it ever so utee! And it you could even keep then from sparrinig and runniag about your gar Liens and tearing up your favorite flowers is there anything more dilli mit or more trying than to imake them hatch and bring up their chickens in a decent notierly way? So the popular mind was badly di yided in regardi to the hogs versusa chickens questIon unti lately, sary during the last live years, the chicken cause has beeni helped onward by the most marvellous disco very of artidlial hatching or incubation. Th'le result of' it has been triat hens are absolved from that par L of their mal'tern~al dum,ies wich has always in their inanids played the part o1 a mental bugbear, and chickens may be brought iuto this life at a rat~e whnch is really astonishiag. Mirs. N. U. Grove, irorn Ardmocre, Mlontgomery Counity, Pennsylvania, a lady who is~renowned for her way of larming chickens, wr ites to the Perfe. L~ton incubator Uomipanuy at Pl'~radel phia: "We hatcheod out of your It.cubator iast fall 148 euluka out of 170 ogs. Ofl Lin number ~iere wore no luore thanm 6 hike uolonaud, theo baanuce stroing and nuoddiy.' We say welml done for the lady, and also for the Perfection Incubator. If the cllal of our great cities can be transformed in to chmicken broth and delicate spring chicks by the patience and skill of' Aincrleain women, and iI ai new line of' action can be op~ened in every farmn house lin these United Statces, thI sooner the Perfection luneu bators are introduced all round the better IL wvill be f'or tihe coin01wealt~h ait large. Alcani while the hogs are tiurning up their nioses at what they call these new fangled no~os and the leathered ones feel elated. That is all about chickens yverass hogs for tihe presenlt F~ALsit EcONOMY.-TIhsre is a vast amount of' false economy in b)usiness, and it has found its way to the homes of many of' our farmers. True economy, not pirsimony, is thme hanms of success, and this is as true in the farmner'' oeu pation as mn any other. fTne farmeri who objects to giving his son a liberal education on thme ground~ that he is going to be "nothing buit a far'mer,'' Is putting inte practiee a mnost i'nwise and lnnjudicious principle1 of econmy. Such an one wvill not buy books, or take paners, which rightily perused, woldi give him great assistaret in his woik, simp~ly becaube lie thinks lie "cnnot, anl'ord them. Ills poor fartning- tools are "good enough for himn," though on every hand lie witniesses the r'ap~hit4v and thoroughness of the work done by improved machinery in the hands or tiuly economical farmecrs-ecnoml(ical because they choose methods by.whmleh they can (10 their wvork most- quickly andl, at thme same time, most, efllielenitly. Tihe "economic" farmer wishmes to make money, so he soils oil' enthre those crops which, returmed in part to his soll in the shape of' manure,. would m( nake his land muchmore prodluctive, forgettlnig that the soil needs a cer'tain amount of food in order to produce. lla'disposes of his best calves and colts, becauase "being nicer they will bring a .better price,'' andt lie retains the loor oficiasts f or breeders--a sure step toward ignom Inious failure. in stock-keeping. Tih - time Is come when our best farmners are cutting lobse from these misleading principles, and arc taking broader views of things, and wvhen this false econmy abould be superceded by tine true. SUMMER SALAD.-People who dine at hotels, and eveni dometimrs at gen tleman's tablesy seldom find a- salad that is really- excellent. Generally speaking, it is a black-green, bitter, and if it were not for the liberal ap phiance of mus tard, eggs,oll and paper, it would be quite unfit for any hilman atonmach. How diflerent this is frorn what a cool, dolicious salad otaght to be, it peems practically to be for gotten by those who grow salid, that lettuce was never tut...nded to be eaten unless blanched, )n $urope they grow a lo4k, broad leaved kind called the Roman or Cos lettuee, which, after having retained considerable levelopment, has the loaves drawn up and tied together at the top. The in terior continuing to grow, and of course in the dark, by the tying up of the outer leaves makes a hard mass like an elongated cabbage, whioh cuts up as white and orlsp and sweet as a stick of eelery. This kind has never found a place in American gardens, because our climate induces it to run to seed too quickly. The yarious kinds of cabbage lettuce are preferred, because they oJose In their leaves na turglly and are supposed to blabch themselves. But this is, as we have shown, a pleasant fiction, as there is very little of the wgito about any that we see, except where there Is great success in growiug them into heads. Of course, our country Is not so well adapted to the growth of good lettuce as England is. It will not stand ex treme cold, nor does it like warm days and hot suns. It wants to go to seed as soon as the temperature goes over 65 degrees. But we could have much better than we do. In the spring a tolerable article is generally obtained. Oi our own premises we never fall. Started by a little protection from frames, it is brought to perfection be fore the warm weather comes. To have it good later Is not difficult, by employing very rich land and as cool 1 spot as can be secured. All vegeta bles that we value for their succulence require a rich soll to their best devel Dpiment, but it Is an essential to good summer lettuce. STILTrON CUxKIsc.-An English cor respondent sends us the following Method practised in making the cele brated Stilton cheese: The night's ream is added to the milk of the fol lowing Inorning,or If the cieee is de sired to be very rich, a still greater proportion of cream. The rennet is then added, but no coloring matter is used. When the eurd has come, un like the method- pursued in making inost other cheeses, It Is taken out with out being broken and put whole into a [lralner, where it Is squeezed down hard until the wiey is entirely plessed out. When dry it is put, with a cleanl cloth, into a vessel and placed be neath the press, the outside being first well saltet . When sutlailently firm to be removed It is put upon a (ry board Ind tightly bound around with r, cloth, which must be changed daily, in order to avoid cracks in the skin, until it is found to have a coal formed, when there IS no occasion for It. further use, ind nothing wore necd he done to the cheese than to brash ocaasionIAlly and rrequently turn it upside down upon the shelf where it may be placed. 8O1. EXuIAUsrioN,-1n a recent aul dress before a dairymian's convention, Francis ). Moulton gave the following startling facts in relatilon to the exhaus tion of the soil produced by growing corn and wheat erOps. h'lhe growing of corn niid ~wheat dcp'etes the soil ; the dalrying in instry reaches it. The corn eron of 1879 I estlitiated in value at $580,000,000. 'i'hI value of phosphiorlc acid and potah taken from the soil to produne this crop lie, in roniid figures, $115,000,000, or about 20 per cen t. ot the value of the crop. We h ave often heard in general terms of this depletion, but these figures-which are correct-show the enormous cost find loss iII coniqs quenco of It. Although tile acreago lnder tillage for grain Is greatly in. oreased, owing to the new latdi that have come under culth atien in the West, it Is known that the piroduct per acre has decreased very largely in the West, although there Is an I nciase in then produtit per aere at the East. The Loss per year through this de 'rease, which Ia the consequience of the ex-, baiistion of the soil, Is known to he at. least, $31,00)0,000t on the corn and whe:1t erop~s of the West.
