A trustworthy observer in the Theiss district writes to the Journal of the' noyal Agricultural Society- of England, that tobacco is large- ly cultivated there, and that "Sheep do very well upon it in a green state as -a forage crop." We are hot aware that this fact has been utilized by the champ- ions of the Darwinian Theory. —The Massachusetts Plowman sums up its views on specialities M farming thus : We would not put all the eggs into oue basket by cultivating a single crop, but we would select some one as a leading epeeiality, arid give particular at- tentiou to that as the money ero.p of , the farm.

The front end Should have a good sized iron door ahout 12 by 20 inches, and on a level with the bottom of the door grate - bars should extend backwatd about four feet, and should be placed crosswise of the arch. At ,this point should be a cross wall as high as the grates; ender the grates' there should be an ah -pit 10 or 12 inches deep.

The good walker will als ays make good time on the road when day's journey is to be made without vearying himself, whilst the slow mover must always be kept on the trot, if time s to be made. A horse that will walk 1 ve miles an hour will go as far in a day, onfined to this gait, as an ordinary ho 'se can be driven when kept half the ti ne to the trot; and with 'much greater e• se to himself. If one- half the pains were taken by fill -tilers' boys to make fa t walkers of tlse young- sters on the fari that are usually taken to make them trot, the result would be mach more beneficial, and we would find plenty of teams that could do their five miles an hour with ease. But instead of this, as soon as the colt is bridled, the 8010 am• e of he boys is to make a trotter out of am, and both gaits are spoiled. Make the colts walk, boys; make them ext nd themselves in a, long, sweeping. squat' walk, and don't be sat- isfied with any t ling less than five miles an hour. Who he gets to trotting he 4ai1l go all the t e faster for this prelim- inary traiiiing t the walking gait and he cahnot tot fait enough to beat Dexter, or Gold mith Maid, or Occident, lea will have a g it that is ihvaluable for business purno es. We hope to see more attent on aid to fast walking than heretofore, and, ve respectfully urge upon agricultural soc eties the importance of o ering liberal izes for walking 4seises at. the fain fir the ensuing year.— National Live 8 ock Journal.

My experience has developed some facts in the production of maple syrup or sugar which might, if observed, prove beneficial to some. First of all is eleah- limps. No matter of what sort the . tures in use may be, without this good syrup or sugar is not made. _Metallic ,fixtures are the best and least apt to sour. Nearly every article used. in con- iieetion with sugar -making can and. should. be made of non -corroding and non -absorbing materials. Wooden buck- ets are imperfect and cumbersome, and besides are liable to sour. Sap -spouts made of wood, especially, are more liable to sour than any other used in the bush, . and are generally least looked after. When sour sap is found in the buckets it will be where the wooden spouts are Some sugar -makers have, been testing earthen crocks in place of buck- ets, because they cost but little on the start, hut find by breakage aud incou- • venience they are soon done away with, 1 and good tin buckets usually take their place. The practice that Some have of reeting their buckets upon the snow or gionnd is a wasteful one. The sap lost hy the overtmaane of buckets, if saved, would steal amouirt to entaigh to procure what are called the Eureka sap -spouts, with bucket -hangers attached!, made by C. C. Post, of Burlington, Vt., the most enThpletealid perfect article fora sap -spout and bucket41iangee ever used. alv ex- perimee with the the past three years has setistiett me that their expense is eaved every season by the him -eased flow (4 sap 'over any other I ever used, and this is the fact generally observed by all who use them. in my opiniou no one artiele iuted in the production of maple -- sugar needs any more pains in cleanliness thau the: sap spout, which, in general, Ins the 'vast notice. For gatheriug sa,p, laree tub hobline three barrels, node about three and a half feet high, three feet diameter at the lotto m, and two feet four inches at the top, shoulkl be used. The upper head should have a hole cut through large enough to empty into or dip out ofwith a pail. This hole eau be cut out after the tub is made, with a key -hole saw, and she -aid be sawed quite beding. The piece taken out, by fastening to it a six- inch strip, with screws, to present split- ting, will make a tight eover, and by ' three buttons it is secured to the tub. - This tub should be made from old pine free from sap, hoopei with iron, and well painted.
