It *presumed that farmers as a gen- eral thing adopt plans which will en- sure the best results from the means they have at their command. The first step toward successful farming is to havewell matured plans of operation, and to systematize all farm work, Or-, der should be strictly observed, ,saving much time. Noltime is spent by a goo :farmer in !hunting np what he wants to use; or repairing some machine or tool—everything having beendone at the propel; time. He has his grain and early -out hay safely stored iu the barn at the earliest suitable time. it doesnot pay to have more land than you have labor tibestow upon it. Land left without care will not pay its own expenses, which must be paid out of the profits of the improved lana ; and the more you have of unproductive land; the less your balance sheet will show. Instead of plowing up exhaust- ed meadows, put on a top -dressing of. manure or fertilizers, which will soon bring them np to a paying condition, thus saving the expense of breaking up, manuring andre-seeding. Rather plough, level down, and clear off the surface stones some unreclaimed portion of the farm, putting in that kind of u crop which will nearly or quite pay the ex pense, and hereafter you have a field` giving a handsome profit, equal to your best cultivated land, and costing only a trifle more perhaps than plowing up the smooth meadow. But :you may say you have more cleared up now than you have, manure to keep up ; poor pastures, without some -kind of fertilizers, will grow up a {ain the some as before, and the labor is lost. I answer that you must make more manure. You have the materials is1 spine swamp or muck hole: The swamp when cleared off makes an inexhaustible meadow, and the muck both contain is a mine of wealth to draw:on at pleasure. To thrown out the uck to drain and dry does not require a great amoi}nt of labor, in proportion tothe quantity and value thrown up. When dried. by ex- posure to sun and air, put it under cov- er, and with; a free use without ? stint, as a litter and absorbent in the stable, hog pen, hen house and privy, you will be astonished at the additional quantity of manure you have made. Large crops are always dependent on manure. The muck can be used independently' of stable manure by composing it with a mixture of lime and ashes (if the latter is not to be hacl, substitute potash in its stead), and. you have a fertilizer nearly, if not equal, Ito stable manure. If you - have not the labor or means at your. command, `borrow; 450 or $100, hire some one to throw' out the muck, and prepare it for use. The increase in P P crops will soonpay back principal . and interest, and you . wills be so much ahead. In this there -is much more • safety than in engaging in trying new crops, fluctuating, in value from year to year. Much, of oiir woodland does not pay, because it is unproductive. Unless covered with valuable timber it .is not only dead capital, but an annual ex- pense to the i amount of interest and taxes, which comes out. of the profits of the farm. This is overlooked by many. If you have not the means to clear up this woodland, it would be better to sell off a part, take the proceeds and ' clear the balance, or even give it away rath- er than keep it an - annual expe :se of two dollars per acre, more or less. It does not pay to allow the roadsides, the fence corners orastures --to grow up with briers, ;needs, etc. A little labor expended in mowing them one or twice at the proper time (August is con- sidered the best) will exterminate them. Visiting the village as often as many do does not pay. Time is money. Each trip consumes the greater portion of the day. Cut down these visits, and devote the time to improvements on the farm, and in making it more productive, and in a short time the visible change will be pleasing andProfitable.—I. 0. in the Country trGent Gena i. • Fawners Sov Salt on Your Spring Crops. ry A year ago: eat . December we gave the readers of the American Farm Jour- nal our experience with salt and land plaster on. wheat.. The result was so satisfactory, we promised to extend the experience the next year and report the result. Last spring we selected a field containing ten acre, one-half of which was sown to wheat and the remnder to barley. We concluded to try the salt alone this year, and to sow double the quantity. When the wheat was three or fear inches high we sowed the salt at the rate ofitvo bushels per time, or as thick as ive could sow it by and. But where the wheat is liable to a at- . tacked by insects, the best way is to sow the salt ass soon as the grain is above ground. On the barley we had previously sown plaster, but it did not look well. There: seemed to be Pome kind of an insect! working in it, as a great deal of i,t had turned yellow} and by taking hold of a yellow spear itonld come right up, it having been cu •off e G the ground close to the surfa of , { but on examination we were unable to find anything to aecou it for it. We thought we'd try what salt would do, and there- fore sawed •half the barley with salt at the same rate; peri acre as the wheat. A heavy thunder I storm came up the following day; and we feared that the salt had been all Washed away. But in a week or two we boukl see a difference in the barley, that which had "been salted being taller and darker in color, and the yellow had disappeared. A$ harvest time approached the difference became more noticeable. Tho barley which had not been salted became dead ripe and was broken down and full of clinch bugs, syhil€ the other was yet green and scarcely fit to cut ; the straw - was of a pale color, no clinch bugs to be. seen ; the grain was a great deal heavier and brighter. 1 As it got mixed in stack- ing, we are unable to give the difference in yield., but ettirate it to bo one-third more in favor 'of the salted half. There was so much difference in the color of the straw that the :mark where the salt ended could be seen in the stubble un- til the field was I plowed. After barley- was harvested we feared for wheat, as the cliiich bugs were the the all making toward it„ and the wheat re- quired two or three weeks longer to grow. But we were agreeably disap- pointed, for neither{ heat nor bugs had any effect on it, and the threshers pro- nounced it the best spring wheat they had ever threshed. The straw was beautiful, not a, particle of rust to be found on it. This wheat weighed, by the inspector, sixty-two pounds to the bushel, On acpouut of its being thin on the mound, it did not yield over six- teen bushels per acre, ut it was all wee t. We feel confide t that had it not 1 een for the salt, we would have got no wheat at all; for t ie clinch bugs wottld have destroyed it entirely. Our other wheat was killed b the heat, and half of it was screenings, what was marketed weighing but fifty-six pounds. Comment is unnecessary. We do not think plaster is much benefit, either on wheat or barley. But i is no use to try to raise either in this State without salt.a— flr..Pyloric, in the hio Farmer. Starting Carrot Early. The value of the carrot as a root crop for feeding is freely admitted. The great difficulty in their culture results from the early,e ds.'Weed seeds weeds. � germinate quicker the carrot seeds ; consequently, as a general thing, we fiiidI instead of carrots a fine row of weeds, encouraged into growth by the fertilizers applied and the culture of the • soil 'necessary for planting. Some of thislreason must be obviated by soaking the Beed iu wet sand in a warm place, for about three days, the sowing it, af- ter drying it off by ming more .dry sand. therewith. The sand retaius heat lover than water alone, and will retain warmth during the night when placed near; the kitchen stove, or in a living room. The water applied should be quite warm, and the sand not be al- lowed to dry out. Carr t seed treated as above will germinate in about four days, but it is better to sow before ger- minating, consequently I would recom- mend sowing after soaking three days. They will then come up po early as to compete with the weeds) At all events, it will give us a chance to see the young carrots while endeavoring to subdue the weeds while still small.. It is best to sow ,plenty of seed, and then thin out as necessary, which thinuning may be dons rapidly with the itoe when hoe- ing: —TIT. 11. White, in thCountry Gen- tleman. .The Zulu Weapon. There are two principal kinds of as- segais, the throwing and stabbing, the latter with a long- and straight blade. To -a Kaffir this weapon is literally the staff of life. With it he kills his enemy andhis game, slaughters and cuts . up his Cattle, training thei horns, shaves his own or his neighbor' head, does his carpentry and furriery,t and countless other jobs of various sprts. In its orig- inalform, the assagai ;was esseutially a missile,but the renowned Clarke, among other military reforms, converted it into a shorter and 'heavier stabbing spear, unfit for throwing, and Only to fie used at close quarters. The shaft, with an average length of nearly five feet, and a diatheter equal to -a ma 's little finger, is cut from the assagai ai tree ( Czcttsi a jayiiea), whichis not unlike mahoany. The•wood is. brittle, yet elastic, -the lat- ter quality giving the spe r that pecu- liar vibratory motion on which its ac- curate, of flight so muc depends. On accouut .of the brittleness, a novice will break many shafts befor he learns to throw his assagai secund m ai•tem. In- a tl cast, st th e shaft �s soon Y 1 as it reaches the ground is liable to whip for- ward and break off shert above the blade. The assagai heads are generally blade -shaped, some const t of a mere spike, and afew are barbed. When the first (shape is adopted, Whether with or without the barb, there s invariably a raised ridge along the -centre of the blade, which is concave on one 'side and convex on the other. The reason assigned for this peculiarity of form are that this blade acts like . the feath- ers of an arrow, and that, as tb e heads are always made of soft iron, they can be more easily sharpened when blunted by use. AFarai] • y of Hermits. Stories about single hermits are not uncommon,bnt a story from Ohio shows that three persons may. live a hermit life 'together. There aro living, ac- cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer, in Delaware county, Ohio, in a house con-_ tailing only two-roonis, three hermits, Benjamin Vaughn, aged. seventy-seven ; Joshua Vaughn, aged seventy-five; and and Sarah Vaughn, aged seventy-three. There were originally ten children in the family, most of whom were -living in 1834, when the father died. The di vision of his property gave a house, and sixty; acres of land. to Sarah; while Ben- jamin and Joshua each received one hundred and thirty acres. These peo- ple had enjoyed. the good opinions of their neighbors, though they had al- ways lived secluded and were peculiar in their habits, and this kept people from visiting then$ . Persons living near them grew accustomed to their absence from the farm an on the' roads, and :in time they were so much forgotten that they lived forty-ti$o years'in one room without once going beyond ° their door - yard.: . oor.yard.:. The other brothers and sisters entered upon.their inheritances, and in time !became poor, having wasted or. lost their property in various ways. A correspondent of the Enquirer says: "A visit to the hermits was prompted by my curiosity, and I went to their house to learn something of the details of their lives. The doofas opened by Joshua in response to my knock, and I was invited the di «' into i � les troomI ever saw inhabited by th ee whitepeo- ple.. The emaciated face of the three inmates were plainly visi le by the light of a bright fire which w s burning in the wide, old-fashioned fire -place. I know] not how to describe the haggard, skeleton faces and unkempt appearance of these people, all of which seemed in such Strange contrast with their pleas- ant poices. The room ' was without furniture of any kind, except a heap of bedding in one corner. An old-fashion- ed crate ie. the fire -place' supported a tea kettle of .aneient pattern, while on the heartlisloue stood au old pewter -tea-pot and three tea -cups. This con- stituted the entire housekeeping effects. of these three strange people. Neither chairs, tables, stools, or any article of furniture whatever were visible. Ben- jamin informed me that the last time he was away fromthe house, until last year, was fc'rtyt:three years ago, when he as fifer attended a general muster -at Delaware. Eighteen years ago a nephew pained Robinson,' then quite a lad, came to live with them, and look after their outdoor interests. Over a year ago he was married, and then these hermits deeded to him their en- tire property, taking life leases on it and its products, that they might be as- sured a living. "The recording of the papers came to the knowledge of other nephews and kinspeople, some of whom began a suit to have a guardian appointed for them, on the ground of imbecility. The Sheriff served the proper summons, but they failed to respond; and Judge Sprague issued attachments for them, but so determined were they not to obey that the officers had to force them into the carriage. The judicial inquiry lasted _. several weeks, during which over three hundred witnesses were examined. When questioned by the court as to their peculiar mode (,f living, they answered that they had - al- ways lived that way, and, as it waited them, they could not see why a Ay one should molest ;them. They said they disturbed no one, and they di .;{ not in tend to be disturbed by any one if they could help it. Seven of .the leading physicians of Delaware pronounced them of sound mind. 'rhe result of the trial was that they w ere considered so by the court. Sarah Vaughn had not, up to the trial, been outside of the yard within sixty, years, and had in all that time never seen the land which she owned, -and had never been in the town of Delaware, though it was only eight miles,away. Neither of them had ever seen • a railroad or a steam; -engine, though for twenty odd years a railroad hasrun within a few miles of the house. For years they cooked their own meals, the provisions being purchased ' b dif- feret hired men aneighbors, but at: ter the nephew came to live with them he did all their marketing, and finally the cooking.. Since the marriage of the nephew his wifehas done the cooking for them. Their neighbors testify that they are unusually sharp in trade, and as they require all settlements to be made with them personally, they al- ways know the exact state of their ac- counts. Sarah once knew how to read and write, but has forgotten. even the letters of the alphabet. Theyare ex- tremely sociable and take great *leasure in the society of visitors, and are always liberal with their tea anpipes." How General Hardee Learned. a New Point in Tact'cs. General Hardee, whose manual of in- fantry tactics was in use in all the Southern armies, visited a rural Georgia town one day during the war, and the commander of a "second-class militia" company sought to do himself acid the General honor by parading his com- mand in front of the inn in which Har- dee had rooms. The writer upon tactics came out upon the balcony to review the command, and the militia officer put his men+ through their paces. In one of the nianceuvres the men became confused atd got into a hopeless tangle. Hardee, in telling the story, said that he could think of no possible way in Which they might be extricated, and waited with great curiosity to see what the militia commander man er would do. The rural tactician looked at the confused mass for a:moment with a scowl of per- plexity upon his forehead ; then his face cleared., and he shouted tke order-: "Disentangle to the front; march." ' Whereupon the men rushed forward and formed a new line without re- gard to the order of the old one. Har- dee said the command was not in his own or any other book on tactics, but that it ought to be. , • Great Western Railway. Trains leave Brussels station, north and south as under: GOING NORTH.
