We can make land poor 4yy growing clover and selling ibjust as easily as we can make .it ricl by growing clover and feeding it on the' farm. When - necessary the land should 'be first drained, then cultivated thoroughly so as to develop the latent plant food in the soil, and then grow clover to take up and organixo this plant food for future use, In this way land can be made rich. Drainin and cultivation furnishes food for the clover, and the clover takes it ip and puts it ILl proper shape for other crops. Aj,TuoUGH Devon cattle are not considered the best for beef produc tion, yet two steers exhibited at the Chicago fat stock show took premiums (one of them the second premium) over twenty-one Shorthorn and Here ford steers. They made an average gain of 120 pounds In thirty days, one weighing 1940 pounds and the other 2034 pounds at 4 years old. Neither had been fed any grain until they were 3 years and 4 months old. . A GERMAN inventor has devised a practicable method of hatching eggs by electricity. The, heat supplied to the incubator by a thermometer. placed on the cover, the rising of the mercury cutting the coils of wire which form the hpating apparatus out of the cir - cult and' allowing them to cool.. The only attention the eggs need is to sprinkle them wvith freh water - and tuIn them once a- day: 'F iE old rule was that a heifer with her first calf could be reckoned half a cow. They will generally be better. than this if well fed and oared for. If the family from which the heifer springs has been a good milking strain, they can usually be brought of native breeds for much less than they are worth. They will more than pay thehre - way, niid yearly increase in value until-l they are six years old when they. are at their prime. WITHOUT doubt, the way to get the. heaviest yield of potatoes fromu a smnall: 'acrerage is to plant, in drills, placing the sets one to one and one.hanlf feet apart in rows from two an.d one-half to'three fe'et apart, according to yartety. O3ut (le'bulk of iotatoes for market re planted where land is.cheaper and miore' lentiful than labor, and it is, thereiore, economy to make hills with rows both ways. THERE is little doubt but as the country grows 01 der and the population increases, the value 'ol good farming lands will increase in price and our mnet'iods or agriculture become chahged. - Those who are not carrying on a rota tion on large areas of land must sooner or later let their small farms grow up to brushes, or resort to some kind of sp)edial production. In this choose that which your soil, markets, and your ability recommend as best. Flough up the .old cow-yards, run ning the plough deep, and as many leads of earth as you can remove, so many loads of rich fertilizer you ill have. An exchange has read of an enterprising gentleman who manutred ten acres of grass laud with earth from under an old barn, and got enormous growths for several years after.. CII 1IC Ns when lirst hatched should niot be hurrIed out of the setting ness. For twenty-four hours, at least, from * the time the earliest commence to show themselves, it. is better to leave them -under or with 1,he hen mother. They need no foode from. a day to a day and1( a half usually. When they get strong enough to venture from beneath their mother's wings it .is time to movo the brood. iFA LL ploughed ground is best for cabbage, not ouly on .account of theo extra pulverizat,iog, but becameq many eggs and haruem have been desEoyed by exposure to the froat. 'rThey require *a loic, sandy soil, anti if planted on 'a heavy, wet clay, failure wvill be 9ertain. Plant in rows far enough apart to ad . mit of cultivation with a one-horse cultivat,or.

Y., gives his experience as follows: In 18s2 my health ias failing, thy head pained -om constantly, ny appe tite was nicetain, I. could not sleep soundly. I attribted this to the ex treme presiure of business cares, but I grtw wors, and finally was confined to my bed for two months. It seemed as though I would "never recover" my former iealth. Under the aid of stimclants I gradually gained strength, so that in a few months I was able to attend to business, .ut I could walk only with the assistance of a cane, ant then in a slow and unsteady manner. I continued somewhat in the same con dition until February last, when I used Warner's safe cure. It has cured me. I consider t a valuable remedy and can highly recommend'iit. Young men have but to use ordinary rudence, and when any derangement occurs if they use the same means as did this successful business man, they may feel a constant assurance'of thei ability to carry to successful conclu alon all ordinary business projects, in cluding the care of their 'proriasory notes -when due. g An Opium E'ater's Faice The effect of the drug on the physique of a person varies somewhat. Some ties he will become dreadfully emact ated, but if the appetite keeps good he will not decrease in weight. Thojer is always, however, a pec,ullar color about an opium eater's face, and- by that he can be known; the complexion: assumes the color of old brass, hayinga pleculir death like hue,~but it is seldom tiat the digestion is impaired. Opium a&Tiects the spinal cord and1 brain princlipally. The ner've power of tihe oplum' enter i3 very much lessened wilthout the opiumi, and it is very much~ inicreased with the drug until. the end conies. The death of the- opinhi eatem is not marked by any particular scenees of horror. [ have seen several opiumi eaters (lie a very p)leasant death, and I do not know that ? ever saw a very had (leath among such patients. A p)cfect substitute for gntta percha, which claims to be far cheaper th'an that vgeful material, has been.patentud bfa German chemist. The process of manufacture may be briefly dlescribed as follows: Powdered gum copal and sulphur are mixed with about double their bulk of oil of turpentine or poe troleum, and are well heated anid thor oughly stirr.ed. A fter: being allowed to cool 'to. a' certaitemperature, the mass has Added to it-caseln lirweak am monia. Once more it is heated to its former temperature, and is then boiled in a solution of nut-gdll or eatechu. A fter some hours' holling, the product is cooled, washed in cold wvater, kneaded in hot water, i'olled out-and finally dried. If, as e$ated, the mantifactured rticle cannot be detected from real gutta perchia, and will answer the daine, pur posep, it Will have wide application, ~i only for the insulation of electric wirbs and cables, -and for thie niaking-ef golf balls.
