Thoro 1 nothing about it to attract particular attention, and still might lead io the thought, that farmors as a genoral rule undertake the cultiva tion of too much land in which the; greatly err. It has come to be Tory natu ral for the farmer in settling upon his plans for the year, to make his calcula tions to sow bo many aeres of wheat, rye, barley, oats or other grains, to plant ao many ncres of oorn, potatoes, beans, or other produota without stopping for one moment to consider the question of labor, or whether ho has manuro sufficient to do oven partial justlco to one-half tho sur face indicated. The result of this is to occasion great inconvenienoe, to say noth ing of haste in cultivation. Again, oth ers hare so strong a desire to add to their aores, that tlioy are continually purchas ing although they oan but half cultivate what thoy hare. It is an old and true maxi-n that "What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well," and this should be tho watchword of (armors in all their op erations. It requires no argumont to prove that a small farm "oil cultivated is better than a largo one half cultivated. Porsons having a kitohon garden upon which much pains liavo boon bestowed, cannot faavo failed to obsorvo the very great returns that have been furnlshod, and if the aama course could be pursued with all lands, tho ro suits would be proportionate. The fact is, that but few farmers know experimentally how much an acre of ground is able to produce. The gardens of meohanics aro ofton very productive, and are rnmetimes an approximation to this. It is well known that ordinarily tho preparation of tho soil works very marked changes in the TOulta obtained ; tho moro finely the soil Is pulvorizod, the better it is adapted to fur nish food for the growing plant, and yet bow often is it tho case that tho soed is planted than that furnlshod by tho plow, and if tho yield is a trlflo below tbo ex pectations of tho farmer, tho roiult is charged upon some climatic conditions or anything but the true caneo' Thero aro crops in wbloh the necessity of greater pains is belioved to oxist for tho reason that without reasonable preparation, the nature of the plant ilseli revolts and ro fuses a fair increase. Such is the onion crop, and in fact the same may be said to bo partially trno of all rout crops. The grower of onions has learned that unloss his soil is mellow, thoroughly pulverized, and so prepared to receive tbo seed, be may as well sow it by tho wayside as in his soil. Why is it, too, that the raisers of tobacoo expend twice or three times as muoh labor, and apply a proportionate in crease of manure in the preparation of a field for that oropt Simply because they havo learned that their returna are moro than proportionately increased. Now what is trno of tobacco would prove equally true wlthothor crops, only farm ers are not as ready to believe the fact. The probable average produced of corn is about thirty bushels nor acre, and yet there aro cases of a production of one hun dred and twenty, and even moro bnshels per acre; and yet no one would believo that four times the amount of labor was expended Id the latter cose that there was in the first. The secret lay in somewhat heavier manuring and a moro carefnl preparation of the soil to reoeiva tho seed. The after cultivation could not, of course, havo been greatly increased. Then let farmers try "a little land well tilled" un til there is furnished some valuable infor mation of the maximum oapaolty of an acre of ground, when cultivated with ad ditional care with an inorease of fertil izers, and there will soon bo a great revo lution in farming practices. Practical farmer. Hew He Did It: We know a farmer, now in comfortable clronmstaooes, who beginning with a few cows and constantly increasing their num ber paid all the expenses of running bis farm, all the grain bills and brought up his farm to a splendid condition solely from the profits of his milk. His system of management was to bny good cows at the outset He required that they should attragt eaoh more than the can per day, season in and out, whieh many milk raisers are oontent with. His farm at the outset was run down and did not yield hay enough hardly to pay for the cutting. Buying grain by the ton, and feeding It to the oowa: spreading the manure on the land and turning it over and sowing rye and oats and millet to be used successively for fodder; turning over more land and laying it down to grass; all this time sell ing bis milk and buying grain and more cows, he now produoes forty cans a day; is obliged to sell hay because he makes more than he can possible nse; and his management is suoh that he actually more than pays for all the grain that he bnya solely from bar sold off his farm. He believes in soiling cows; in fact he aays be can't afford to pasture them, ba llerina that the lnoreas of their manure will more than compensate for the extra labor employed in soiling. Two smart men oan ao au ni wok ana not be over driven at thai. He tells bit oowa to the butcher when they have reach ed the minimum product of milk that he oonnte on: and the prices realised are be cause of their fin condition, often greater than the original eost of the animal. We know another farmer who manage much the same way depeadiag on liberal grain feed and soiling, and puttlog every dollar made on the land. He 'bars what would be termed poor (took, that Is, cheep, thin ty or lony aouars cows, ana loot to less profit from hi tails' than from the Increased value of cows for beef , and the iacreeae of hi manure pile. However; 'he U -now riehT and hit money ha been mad solely by the above management Jtou. Plough' Small Farm Maxims. 1. Small farms are oheaper and easier than large one, and pay better for capital invested. Therefore, small farms are best 2. If you want to make your farm pay, you must give it your daily personal at tention, dui ii your laim is too largo yon cannot do this; hence, as I said above, man larme aro oest. 3. If you don't want your farm to rnn away, you must ston littlo leaks. We mav expect fower leaks on a small plaoo than on a big one; honce again, small farm; are UOS. 4. Teed your land well, and it will feed you. It takes less to food a fow acres than a greut many. So you seo small arms are ueai. S. It you would llvo Ions and enlov life. work a little, thon rest a littlo. But if you havo a large farm you must labor all the time. Here again small farms aro beat. (J. To raise bier corn, von must keen small grass. To make small grass you must cut oicen. ao in tuis, wo una small larms aro mo twist. 7. If you have a good fence you need foar no lost of stock. Bnt fences are costly. Thus once moro wo find that amall farms aro the best. 8, If you want good roads and plenty of schools, ohurohes and mills, you must have a dense population. If farms are large, this is impossible. Therefore, I declare small farms to bo tho best 0, Farms should inoreaso in valuo year by year. It costs loss to imnrovo a few acres than a groat many. Hero, as boforo, small farms are best. JVeie England Home Head. PoiIltay Ya- Fattening Chickens. It is boneless to attemnt to fatten chick. ens whtlo they are at liberty. They must uo put in a proper coop; ana tuls, like most othor poultry appurtonancos, ncod not be expensive. To fatten twelvo fowls. a coop may bo three feet long, eighteen In ches high, and eighteen inches deep, made entirely of bars. No part solid nolthor top, sides or bottom. Discretion must bo used, according to tho size of chickens put tip. They do not want room: indeed, tho olosor they aro tho bettor provided thov can all stand np at the same time. Care must bo taken to put up aueb as bavo been acouttomod to bo together, or thoy will fight. If one is quarrelsome, it is better to romove it at onco, as. like othor bad ex amples, it soon finds imitators. A diseased ohicken should not be put up, The food should bo ground osts; and mar either be put up in a trough or on a flat board run ning along the front of the coop. It may be mixed with water or milk the latter is the better. It should be well soaked, forming a pulp as looso as oan be, provided it does not run on ine uoarti. ruey must do well fed threo or four times a day the first time aa soon after daybreak as mar be pos sible or convenient, and then at intervals of four hours. Eacli meal abould be at much and no more than they can eat np clean. When they have done feeding, the board should be wiped, and some gravel may be spread. It oausb them to feed and thrive. After a fortnight of this treat ment, you will hare good, fat fowls. If, however, there are but five or six to be fattened, they mnst not bare as muoh room a though there wero twelre. Nothing is easier then to allow them the proper space, as it is only neooasary to have two or three pieces oi woou io pass between tne Pars and form a partition. This may also servo when fowls are put np at different degrees of fatness. This requires attention, or fowls will not keep fat and healhty. As soon aa the fowl is sufficiently fattened it must be killed, otherwise it will not get fli tt Hlll U.. tm. Tlf-1. .ul.

A correspondent of the Country Genttt man writes as follows: One of your cor respondents ask for a method of preserv ing eggs tnrougn tue winter, iierols a way that my wife has practised with per. feet success ever sinoe we were msrriod, wnicn is twenty-eignt years. Hue puts a lump of lime aa big at a man a fist in a bucket, and fills with water. After the lime falls, it is stirred up and allowed to settle, and it it then ready for nse. The eggs are put into a vessel, and the clear lime water is nourea over tbem, to gether with tome of the thick, creamy part of mixture from the bottom of the bucket. If only clear lime water is used, the eggs win not aeep, ana ii too mucn lime irom the bottom of the buoket I put on, then it will eat the shells. Sbesaya that she pours in th creamy part in about the p-o-portion of a big bowlful to a bucketful of lb clear water. Onoe in a week or two ab examine tbem and stirs them np. If the shell are roach, there it too much lime, and it anr of the eggs were not good when put down, they will pop when she stirs them, whiob makes it neooesaary to take tbem all out and wash them before repacking. This never happened but onoe. The stirring Is not tor examination suone, out it neces sary to the preservation of the eggs, for if they should lie too long In one position, the rolk would settle down to the lower part of the sbell, and then spoil, the aays, Th stirring it aooompliahad br mnninjr. her hand to -th bottom of th reatel. wniett la easily done, aa in egg aro al most floated by the water, and drawing it aliiwlr to th too with the hand bant.

A writer in tho Southern Cultivator gives tbo following bints on this dellcato opera tion: When about to transfer, havo everything in readiness, so as not to have any delay in the oporation. Have a room or small out-house ready, (soma experts porform tho oporation in the open air, but I would not advise anovico to do so,) placo asmsll table oonventont, covor it with sevoral folds of cloth, so as to give a soft substance for the comb to rest on; havo at hand a lot of strips of wood ono-cighth Inohos square, halt inoh longer than tho frsmr. mil A Ink r amall wmKI,a .Inn. suoh as are used on car tiokots, to bo bad at mo stationer s.

Now move tho hivo into tho room and leave an old hlvo on tho stand, for absont boos to go in when thoy return. Invert tho hlvo, placing top on floor; tako a cold chisel and hammor; cut off the side par allel to comb; the bees will crowd to the opposite side; remove side of hive, have a frame lying on tablo, two stioks undor neath; cut a comb out, and cut It to size of framo. no mattor if rou kill soma of tho brood; lay It in framo; put tomo stioks on ion; spring ruuuer rings ovor ends of sticks, raise gontly and put in new hlvo; placo tho comb in the aamo position in tho new hlvo as it had in oldjcut out tho noxt, and brush adhering bees into tho now hivo, until tbo now hive is filled; put all tho boos in: close nn tho now hivo. and let it stand for a whilo. If the bees exhibit any uneasiness, run ning about tho hive as if looking for some thing, tho queen may not bo in, thoy will bo looking for her. Hunt for a clustor of bees, dip them np and put them Into the hlvo; as soon aa sho is in all will be quiet again. Carry hive to old stand again, shake out the boos that are in the hlvo, nit mom in iront oi new biro, and tbey will all go in. If in tbo operation tho comb should got uiumu. ui ii jwu wau iu ui mo uroaen oomb in, lay three or four aticks or as many aa is necessary under the frame; place the plecee of oomb in aa a-ood order as possible, same number of aticks on top, and fasten. Remombor all aticks to be fiat in perpendioular to bottom of hivo; n threo or four day afterward go to the bive (by that time the combs will be fast ened to the frsme) and remove rings on top, pun out suoks; mo rings leu in tue hive will bo carried out by the bees. Af ter moving the hivo to its stand, contract the entranco, so that tbey can protect themselves against robber beet, aa tho odor of broken comb and honoy will at tract a good many. This is the objection to performing ft in open air, at you are likely to be bothored with robbers. Save the Combs. Every scrap of workor't oomb, if only two inches aquaro, can with a little skill and a few splints, be profitably usod in patching np unfilled frames. After the frame of scraps is placed in the hive, it will take tue workers but a little time to put it in good order for breeding and stor ing purposes. Combs and frames that have been badly soiled by stocks having dysentery, can be easily cleaned, and rendered fit for naa of beet, I had a large number of slocks die with dysentery in the winter of 71 and 72 and several hundred frame of oomb left in a verr offensive condition. After the bees had died, I aet tbo hivet out, took off tne tops, ana let tne snow and rain and tun have free aooets to them. In a short time, the combs were at clean and sweet aa before the beet had the disease. The cells tilled with water, but this was easily thrown out, by holding the frames and comba firmly with both bands, and giving tbem a few quick downward jerks. Two or three good showers of rain will cleanse the fonlest frame and combs. Af ter they are well washed, the water should be thrown out; the sun and wind will then dry them in a few hours. I have used all my toiled combs, after they had been cleaned in this manner, and the ben used them at readily a tbey did thoso that had uevur wuitou. uor, runner journal. It la an excellent thing to hare a good memory aa a rule, but it is quite at good to hare a poor one sometime. There are some things it would be suoh a blessing to forget. Angry remarks and bitter re torta are amongst them; bnt, alaal a thousand good words are forgotten, while the bad one is remembered forever. It ia far easier to learn an idle, aenselesa jin gle of rhymes than a beautiful hymn or poem. Do not waste yonr time and at tention over what you would some day give much to forget. Slanderous words are far better forgotten than remembered. One of the beat helps to forgetting is nev er to tpeak of tbem, not Jven in a whisper. If yon bear a playmate say aomsthlng un kind of another, keep it to yourself; the will forget it pretty toon, and feel a kindly at rr toward th person. Bat if you tell it, then what a storm yon will raleel How th girl will take aides! and two parties will be formed, and very likely the "irle' parent will join th quarrel, and th whole neighborhood will be in a great uproar lost iMoanae of that cross word you bad ao much batter let die.
