This ola idea whi originated, we know not how long ago, With that long -forgotten•• person, Je iro Tull, that tillage,—by which nmea t plowing, harrowing, and fallo amply sufficient to restore the to fertile state after scrops had reajcd from it; has long been consid! as e ploded ; and stock -feeding an( the ratioa of manure is held to bo the projer Method by which the•farmer ruay expend 1" the sweat of the face," by whi h alone' he shall eat bread.

Ilia. opinion is wort having, and it is that the Euro peau d mama for American wheat will not be s heavy this year as it was last. The ne crap of Great Britain is a little better t an the old. This in itself would ma,ke b t a trifling difference, but it is not the nily change -to be taken into con- siderati n. In the cereal year of 1873-74,' the tot 1 amount consumed will reach 186,000, 00 bnsliels. Of this ' amount about 9 ,000,900 bushel.s will have to be importe . Eleven months of the year have air adytpassed, so that only a. small portion f these figures are estimated. Of the 7,2n1,688 bushels already im- ported i to the United.

The Indian trib, have legend- ary knowledge of d cirri, ing families, and within our knowl-dge f tlaem there have been periods of suff.i ngifor small tribes. The destitut owl f Minnesota and Louisiana were both speedily re- lieved, and both covered but a small territory and a small pop lation. But we have hed nothing with our reach at any time to give us a re lizing sense of such sweeping ravages of starvation as have prevailed, within a eve years, in Asia, among the millions Of Persia, India and 110W Asia Minor. Thi; latest fam- ine is desolating the regio s s lying be- tween the Caucasus a dt e Anti -Taurus mountains, including Anato a, Sivas and other Provinces. Re • .1. .

In the district: of S ng4•1 5,000 per- sons have died, only from 1 ck of food . ' The horrors of the famine re indescrib- able. Its victims hatee fo weeksub- sisted on grass alone.. Boc ies lie in the streets for days, tnburi d, and the dogs that infest the Oriea cities de- vomathem. And the worst feature of all is the ut- ter inhumanity of these p ople toward each other. Those Who • • e the means to relieve 1 this terrible uffering care nothing for it. They ve. I nothing. Even the parents, t� sa themselves, cost away I their h lples little ones.
