THE COCAINE HABIT.

There is no doubt of the x tilue of co
caine, xvhen appropriately and guard-eillyu-edby
physician and surgeons.
Dr.' Hammond, of New York, latch
read a paper on th" subject before the
New York Neuroliigical' Society, in
which he cpro'i'd doubts us to the
existence of a cocaine, habit xvhieh
could not be readily eontroled by the
will. He had tested cocaine on him
self, and the c licet exhibit d are of in
tercut, though xve lake exception to his
conclusion. Hc'lii'sl injected one grain
hi'iicath the. skin. U cvhilaratod him
ami made him feel ipiite huppx. but he
xvns seepies alter it niiuosi, uiiui
niMrniug. and arose xvith a severe
headache. This headache followed
each trial. The next night
he injeeled two grains and the
same pleasant f.'cling followed, accom
panied by an inordinate desire to write.
He wrote much, ami thought at the
time his work the best he. had ever
done, but f.jtind it in the morning to
be disconnected nonsense, each sen
tence b.'iiig complete in itself, but
having no relation to the others. He
nexi injecte I ' three grain, and fell
the same inclir.atio i to write, but re
strained himself ami indulged in
speech-making. Hiving at different
intervals injected successively six and
eight grain, he then injected eighteen.
The ctVeel was intense exhilaration,
And inability for . sum ) hours to recall
what he did. Next morning he found
lie had thrown his nlllco into more or
less of disorder. There had. in each
instance, been much palpitation of the
heart, but this lime it xvas greatly in
creased. His headache remained for
Ixvo das. Hut he felt no disposition lo
commit act of violence, an. 1 was not
er.-Mseiou of any habit.
It seems tp us. however, that Dr.
Hammond overlookel two importan:
faet: First, that all such habits .-informed
gradually; and secondly, that
teinp.'rani 'tit is an important consider
ation in the case, persons of a nervous
temperament being specially mis
eeplible. In IliJ discission which
followed the reading of the paper, Dr.
Mattison said lie had had witliin a few
months seven cases of the habit under
his care, live of xvhieh were physicians.
A physician, in attempting to write a
prescription, wrotefor asheriffto come
and take the patient to jail. Hi had
also himself noticed hallucinations and
delusion. He thought the continued
use of the drug more injurious than
that of morphine. His patients had
gradually acquired their habits. The
president of the society referred to
thirteen eases reported by a single
Cierman phvsician. In Pittsburgh a
prominent physician, xvho had formed
the habit, became violent, and. under
the delusion that he was being attacked
by liurglars, began liring right and left.

There is no department of farming
which is performed in :t more imperfect
maimer generally in the United States
than in the preparation and seeding to
gras. Meadows do not yield more
than half as much hax generally a
they might under the bet preparation,
anil pasture alloc I a correspondingly
r.-dueed amount of grazing. One rea
son for, this Imperfect result is that
grass land, and the preparation for
seeding il. take a second clniitce in the
succession of crops. The seed is sown
xvith some grain crop, and the young
"rap has to take
its chance. i ue
amount of seed sown, and the imperfect
treatment which it get, result in a thin
growth, and in plenty of small bare
spot over the Held.
The seeds of the grasses are many
times smaller than those of xvheat and
corn, and the soil xvhieh i to receive
them should bu in a line state of pul
verization, and not made up of lumps
and clods. Tins surface should be even
.mil imi fi ii'iii so thai the seed mav be
1i.r1.tU- -md ex-enlv buried. Careful
and measured experiment. have shown
that Hue grass seed will not come" up if
covered much over half an inch deep,
and clover seed .should never be more
than an inch. It will not answer,
therefore, to sow these minute eeils on
rough and furrowed ground. Whether
the seeding i done alone or xvith oine
grain crop, it i vitally important that
this linihed preparation should 1h at
tended to. A top-dresing of line ma
nure, in either ca-e. will greally :usit
in tin' germinating of the seed, and in
the rapid growth of the xoung gra
after it ha come up.
(iras. unlike Indian corn, will bear
thick sowing and dense growth. The
quantity of seed usually used is much
too small, and the bare sp.it seen in
new meadows me the result. Hut a
moderate sowing, mi a xvell prepared
surface, will give a more t pict

Farmers should not be sntislied with
less than three tons to the ace. Hut
this amount can not be obtained by the
common course of allowing the gras
to lake its chance between other crop

great requisites are ade.qi. rich soil anil
