AGB100ERUUE. WAsTz on %= FAnn.-The greatest c i wastes on the fari is in not using our brains; the greatest because at the bottom of all other wastes. A litle thinking often saves much labor. After accomplishing almost any labor the most of us can look back and see how we could have improved on it it we had but thought. The ditch we dug through 'our mead owe, was not done in the most econom ioal way. We dug too deeply at first. and did not allow for the setting of the laud. That was an unnecessary waste of labor. We omitted to buy an implement that would have saved nearly its cost in one year's use, until we had spent much time in trying to do our work without it. Another waste. We carry a water pipe too near the surface to save the expense of digging a trench of a safe depth,and the winter's frost necessitates a replacement of the Pipe aid an additional digging. Another wasto here. We allowed the weeds to grow on one pie3o of land, not thinking to what pro Portions they would grow by the time the crops wore too far advanced to admit the hoe. A waste here which might have boon obviated. . And so on, wastes, little and big, every where, all arising from our not thinking suflloiently-wasto bccause easily avoided. We omit the ordinary wasto from no glect, from laziness,from want of appro Oiation of eleainliness-tho waste from our stook, from our manuro heap, from our household. Vorily a little thought will save to the farmer much, and the saving through this meanus, even on a small farm, will represent the interest on a considerable capital. ThQ wastes arising from ignoranco can very easily be diminished, and are in a large part inoxcusablo;those arising from earelessness are not deserving of sympathy. Thte farmer, as well as the business ania, must use business prinoi pils to securo tie largest success, and the o)0 sihould bw ats careful of the out sec as thle other, SUErP FAnIMNo.-Despito the Coll. Sttant attention which is falled to the value of sheop, not only ats improvers of the land.ut is profitable farm animals, for wool and mutton, there are many farmors who have never raised or kept a single sheep, though their farms are adapted to i'aising sheep largely and profitably. Why this is we cannot im agino, for facts and figures can be had by the score to provo the profitableness of sheep breeding, if nocessary, and about the only drawback in ninny local itIes iM the loss occasioned by dogs. Many a rough, wornout or neglected farm might be brought up rapidly and h1 made paying land,by breeding sheop thoreon, as the manure from the sheep is one of the most enriching of manures, and is evenly and finely aistributed. Of courso they may not do this without being fed something besidos what thev can get inl the fields, yet this additional food works to the projit of the breeder inl two ways-it not only insures good and proiltable growth of flsh and wool, but it makes the manuro riehEr and more valuable. Even ).oor farmers can give shcoy it trial by commenomg in a 14al11 way, and then, a.t meana a:id ex pierience are gaimed, the flce,.ks can be gradual ly increased by p~urch~ases, though the natural i'orease from a small flock of sheep Is by no means inconsiderable, if properly managed and eared for as they should b)0. Like any other kiud oh stock, they must have good care and food to secure the greatest mieasu'ro of p~rofit.

We havo found a little salt sprinkled on a mianure healp one of tho bost appli cations both for summer and winter. lIn warmi weather it attracts moisture andl keeps the manure fromi fire fangmng, or burning f rom excessive fermentation .In winter it keeps the hen)) Iromi freezing solid, antd at any season it makes the manure luote soluble. .uN order to keep the striped beetle from vines the experiment was tried of lacinltg corn-coba dipped in coal-tar io:tr the hils.
