BOC0I:, FARM AND GARDEN.

Three-hundred dollars, invested in ••land, is the "nest egg" ot prosperity.

KEEPING qualities in grafted apples, and often the flavor, are affected by ihe stock upon which the graft is set.

IN some parts of England a family of six persons makes a living on six acres.

GEORGE WAKING says the farmer who spends 8300 an acre in manuring his vegetable garden, is likely to get $500 in profits.

Mr. LAWES, writing of English farmers, says he finds the best on poor land, and the worst .farming on the •attest lands.

ONE of the secrets of successful farming is to sell when others are buying and buy when others are sell-

THE cheese factory company of Aileghan}' County, N. Y., realize an average profit of between 8-10 and 850 from each cow in the ceuntrv.

MILK varies as much in casein or -cheese-making quality as in cream. The best milk will give a pound of cheese to eight pounds of milk—the poorest, a pound to twelve.

A CORRESPONDENT calls the attention of tbe Montreal Witness to the death of two excellent gentlemen in his vicinity, from 110 other apparent cause than the excessive use of tobacco.

TRY, by experiments, to find out which are the most paying crops for your fields and gardens. "Prove all things, and hold fast that which is aood.5'

A CORRESPONDENT of the Ohio Farmer says she saw men binding com with twine, who said twenty-five cents worth would bind five acres of corn and when the bundles are fed the strings may be saved for use another season.

IT is a fact worthy of note, that, notwithstanding all the ravages and burnings of the war, though nearly a million of men were for four years strenuously devoted to the arts of bloodshed and destruction, the average value of American lands is hisher than it was in 18G0.

THE best farmer in Connecticut makes a bigger compost heap than any of his neighbors. The soundest agriculturist in New Jersey spends more per acres for fertilizers than his fellows. The best cotton grower in Georgia applies to his fields more phosphate than any other planter.

GREELEY, writing to the farmers through Jloore's linral JSTew Yorker, xays every farmer's family should possess "Webster's Dictionary," "Johnson's Atlas," and"Appleton's American Encyclopedia," and that Tennyson. Whittier, Browning, and "Dana's Household Book of Poetry" -should by all means be on ihe shelves.

TAKE a piece of earpet, blanket, or any thick material, large enough to cover the horse from his fore to his hind legs, and from his spine to the floor as he lies: wringit out of hot water, as hot as you can handle it. You need not fear scalding the animals Apply this to the animal and cover it in a similar dry cloth. As soon as the heat diminishes much, dip the wet cloth again in hot water. See if it will cure colic.

A rjiGAXTic Plant, of the Arum spchas recently been forwarded to England from Nicaragua. This plant, which has heretofore escaped the notice of traveling botanists, produces but one leaf, nearly 14 feet in length, supported on a stitfk 10 feet long. /.The stem of the flower is a foot in circumference, the spathe or flower 2 feet long, ^purplish blue in color, with a powerful carrion-like-odor.

As this remarkable species of Aroidte is quite new to science, it has not, yet received a name.

Families & Manufacturers.

THEHonor

Great Prize, the Cross of the Legion of and Gold Medal, awarded to American Sewing Machines at the Paris Exposition of 18(57, over EIGHTY-TWO COMPETITORS, as per Imperial Decree, published in the Moniteur Universel

(Official Journal of the

French Empire), Tuesday, 2d July, 1867. The Lock-Stitch invented by Mr. Howe, :uul made 011 this Machine, is the most popular and durable, is alike on both sides, and will neither KIP NOR RAVKL, and all Sewing Machines are subject to tho principle invented by him.

A Machine was needed possessing SIMPLICITY and DUKAHILITY, and adapted to a great range of work one easily understood and comprehended by all. To produce such a Machine has been the study of EliasHowe Jr., who gave to the world the First Sewing Machine, more than twenty years ago and now we offer his last production, a machine embracing all essential qualities, and pronounced the Best Machine in the World.

Persons from a distance can order a Machine with periect confidence of being able to operate it in a few hours successfully, by the aid of the printed instructions that accompany each Machine. Drafts or current funds must accompany the order. Machines may be ordered by Express, also to collect on delivery, if the" purchaser prefers. We advise shipping by express, as the most convenient and expeditious way.

The demand for this New and Improved Machine Is unprecedented in the history of Sewing Machines.

In all the principal towns where Agencies aro not already established, we desire energetic and responsible parties as Agents. Many nlaces are of sufficient importance to warrant persons in making it their exclusive business.
