The Farm and Household. Systemin Farming, To any business man commencing . to stock a good farm, the first consideration should be the number of each ~variety of live stock which will best suit the condition of the soil, the accommodations in buildings and climate, as also the convenience of marketing: The sending to market of fruits and vegetables does not belong to legitimate agriculture, for this is . horticulture; a ‘farmer grows grain anid, cattle food, producing for sale meat, wool, butter or cheese, and any general agricultural product; but he who is really a market gardener, grows all, or most of the articles sold by green grocers, the attention to which, while growing, and' the gathering of which, would seriously interfere with the perfect system requisite on a firstclass farm, particularly where labor is scarce and uncertain, A good system would inerease the fertility of the land, and would result in augmenting the crops so much as to enablé magy more animals to be bred, raised and fattened, which would' at the same time, give additional rich ‘manure to replenish plant food. . Thus, by breeding every kind of live stock, there would be no purchaser, but a: great deal of selling, which would bring in much money, without paying out, excepting for the labor and taxes. When the writer of this was a little boy, he used to sit and hear his father ~and thé neighbors talk over agricultural matters on winter evenings; and as all were-tenant farmers, and the. vicinity an improving district, witha good deal of arable land of various quality, it may be interesting to reproduce one or two of their arguments and spme of their caleulations. For instance, on one occasion, news had just been brought that Mr. B, had taken the Hinehwink fdarm, of 800 acres, at a rent of one pound per acre. This was a poor farm, on the borders of the Cotswold Hill, and Mr. 8., was a “ go-a-head” man, with other farms rented. It was thought to be a farm on which little could he made; however, the four gourse system of cultivation was “the custom of the country” on the hill, and the calculation of the country commenced accordingly; 200 acres of wheat, 200 of turnips ‘and Swedes, 200 of barley and oats, and 200 of clover and rye grass mixed. The wheat would not be more than 20 bushels per acre, which at the then price of 6s. ‘per bushel, came to £1,200; the other crops would be all eaten by sheep, cattle and hogs; therefore, it was agreed, being poor land, only 200 sheep could be bred and sold per year, which would make £BOO, and their wool £2OO, with wool from the main flock, £300; beef, £4OO, and hogs £2OO-—total, £3,- " 100.—Now, there were titles and taxes on this farm, which added to the rent of £BOO, made over £1,000; so thata third of the sum made was required for rent and taxes, and an equal sum for manual labor, tradesmen’s bills and. | wear and tear of implements, leaving' another third to pay interest on capit- | al, and pay for casualities, seeds which | were not grown, and for superintend-| ence and profit, which we thought to/ be little enough. : " Mr. B. began with a much heavier stock than stated, gave his fattening' sheep a great deal mofe grain than could be grown. for the flock after working cattle and other stock were ted, and he fattened hundreds of hogs for the sake of'making more and richer manure—the result of which extra, feeding was not only fatter and better -animals, but the manureswas so feeding to the land, that his crops yielded 50 per cent. more; and from the use of so much grain, the animals ate so little hay, comparatively, and the turnips doubled in weight per acre, which consequently, ~enabled a wonderful aceession of stock to be made, thereb{ upsetting old time reckoning, though if all the first calculations were doubled, it would not be far from the truth. I'or poor land, or any light soil, the four-course system, is a good one in England; but ¥n deeper and better tracts, arid in valleys, there are five and six eourse rotations, which answer admirably; and any one commencing an agricultural career may rest assured it is best to stick to some system, and, at the same time, not to changing varieties of stock on account of the fluctuations in prices; for, in a run of years, it will always be found safest fo continue raising and selling at the market price.. On several occasions I have known wool to have been kept over for years in succession, and sold at a good deal more for keep- * ing, but when interest of money and some little loss in weight was reckoned, it was found there was no- great advantage after all., i Establish a system, and then do not vary from it; for instance, suppose @ farmer sells his wether sheep at 15 or 16 months old, and, as all good managers do, he contrives to have them thriving from their birth, and as fat as the best care and food can make - them; on some particular seasons he may have an opportunity to sell his lambs at a tempting price, but he shz:}l not do it, as there must be cause for this extra value, and it will naturalk' follow that he will gain more by holding on till his usual time of selling; and should he part with his own breed it'is many chances against his being able to replace them with any which - would pay as well for keeping. It . would be the'same in all similar cae ses with other stock; therefore stick to a system, | | , : : . A WORKING FARMER.

From a Day Laborer. ] To the (Editors Crawfordsville Journal. ¢ ' The papers are full of articles on the labor question, and of discussions on the relation of capital and: labor. “TLama farm hand, a married man with six children. . Why I work on a farm by the month it is not necessary to state. I am furnished a good house, and garden with pasture for one cow, and receive $25 per month with board for myself during the Summer, and ‘with dinner in the Winter. My employer says that this is more than he _can afford to pay, and all other far‘mers say it is too much. I see that mechanies in our cities ave striking for 8 hours per day. Now I am not complaining, but during -the Summer I average 13 hours per day in the fields, and ¢ounting feeding, ete., I work 15 . hours, from 4 A, M., to 8 P. M., with an hour’s rest at noon. My employer works as hard, and as many hours as I do, except that on wet days I work in the woods, and he goes to town. Now let us see how my books balance at the end of the year. I keep a memorandum, and here are the items: Bread 5tuff5,..................8860.00 FOIR. . ivpiihimmniiin. 00, .. 40,00 - Beafoc b 160 k Boots and gh0e5............... 30,00 Clothing forgelf. . .. ./.... ... 4008 M e - 2 i iehtldren . ... . ... 8000 .

for her'neighbors. And we have not bought a dud that we could go to meeting in, or send our children to Sunday school in without being stared at. So we stay at home of Sundays, and make the most out of that $lO worth of newspapers. You see I have run behind $55 in a single year, or rather my employer has advanced -me that much_ on next year’s labor. What shall I do? Rent a farm says one. I haveno team, and if I had tﬂl:ere are two renters for every farm that is to rent, . already. Go West? There are thousands of men with quarter sections in Towa and Kansas who are worse off to-day than I am. There are plenty of your readers exactly in my fix and worse. Can’t you or some of your talented correspondents tell us what the matter is? : P.S. Onlooking this over I see that I have failed to state that my employer, though a good manager, and owning 240 acres. of land, does not make 4 per cent. on his investment, and really cannot afford to pay me any more per month. Ly

Value of Trotting Horses. The calendar for 1872 has notiyet been made up, but will show an increase upon that of 1871, from which we gather our facts. It shows that in 1871 there were 1,576 trotting and pacing races in the United States, representing over a million of dollars, in premiums and purses, besides the great value of the horses. The horses would average $l,OOO eachh and not less than three to each race, which would be $4,728,000, say $5,000,000 in horses alone, who have actually trotted in the several contests during that year. From this ‘and other reliable data we calculate the value of those in training. and ‘exercising, but not contending in races, and those “in the breeding studs all wunited would amount to not less than $18,000,000, being that sum invested in this country in trotting and pacing horses alone. Yet this grand total is confined to a limited number of breeders as compared to the number of those who have the means, but who will not breed horses of improved stock, nor breed horses at all. 'We mention this fact as a conclusive argument to prove the immense amount of -wealth that is lost to our farmers because of their want of energy and enterprise in not to a greater extent availing themselves of this profitable source of revenue. Every farmer should breed horses, but as it is, only a few breed, and most of them raise only a colt or so annually from inferior parents, and half starve the colt until it is fit to “break,” and they by a rapid process break it sure enough, so that the time and cost —such as it is—is literally thrown away. A little more time, trouble and cost of feed, would produce a colt from a highly bred sire and a good dam worth $4OO or $5OO. Two such colts per gear would be equal, to many farmers, to the net profits of their entire farms.—Maryland Farmer.

Y Permanent Whitewash. : The season-of the year has returned when the inquiries for good whitewash are raised. 'We give the following as excellent: Take half a bushel of freshly burned lime; slake it with boiling water; cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve, and add to it ‘seven pounds of fine salt previously well dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in boiling hot, onehalf pound of powdered Spanish whiting and one pound of clean glue which has been previously dissolved by soaking it well, and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small kettle within a large one filled with water. Add five gallons of water to the mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few days covered from dirt. It must be put quite hot. For this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable- furnace. About a pint of this mixture will cover a square yard. :

To Mothers. . There is reason to believe that nota few of the apparently unaccountable cases of scrofula among children proceed from the habit of sleeping with the head.under the bed clothes, and so i}nhaling air already breathed, which is further contaminated by exhalations from the skin. A good nurse will be careful to attend to this. Itis an important part, so to speak, of ventilation. It maybe worth while to remark that when there is any danger of bed sores, a blanket should never be placed under the patient. It retainsdampness and acts like a poultice. Never use anything but light Whitney blankets as bed covering for the sick. The heavy, impervious counterpane is bad for the very reason that it keeps the emanations from the sick person, while the blanket allows them to pass thro’. ‘Weak patients are invariably distressed by a great weight of ‘bed clothes, which often prevents their getting any sound sleep whatever. -

THE HEALTH of the people throughout this and adjoining counties is probably as good this spring as it has been at any time for several years. The appearance of our citizens is indeed more healthy than usual, not so many sallow-faced and bilious looking individuals, to be met with every day. The effect of the past long and cold winter, has been to increase breathing capacity ; more oxygen has been taken into the system, in the same time than usual; combustion has consequently been going on miore rapidly, and the process of assimilatjpn and dissimilation, has thereby been greatly increas: ed. Thus the material or physical system has been more thoroughly renewed and invigorated. @ With more cold or cool, dry air to breathe, and less hot, humid, miasmatic air, our people would soon attain a more ruddy and healthy look.—Dr. Reynolds in Plymouth Democrat.

To PrRESERVE FuUrs.—Ladies, now is the time to:put away your furs if you wish to preserve them from the ravages of moth during the summer. Sprinkle them well with snuff, and place in each article a small piece of gum camphor, then wrap well in paper, and pack away in a box, and you may rest agsured of the safety of your furs. This is the way the wholesale and retail dealers in the cities take care of large stock of furs from one season to another; the great point, however, is to put away early, before the fly-moth makes it appearance.

THE St. Louis 7'¥mes has a two column editorial upon the true philosophy of marriage, and closes with the following sensible conclusion : / “The true philosophy of marriage .is that men and women who . present themselves to be marriageably united should have a proper understanding of the situation thatlies before them. And all that is necessary is to educate the people, high and low, up to-a prop--er matrimonial standard; to impress ‘upon those who desire tobe married the necessity of a more certain standard of reciprocal adjustment; to disseminate the idea that marriage is one of the holiest of all sexual relations; and that those who, of either sex, are now vainly or unsatisfactorily seeking the true philosophy of this mysterious state, should betake themselves' at once to a more careful study of themselves as the immediate objects of a reasonagéy designed and very easicliy ttimdg'rsto order of physical assomion” - . S

Salt and Fish, . ~ [From the St. Louis Republican.] The census of 1870 throws a light on the salt tariff which gives that tariff a new interest. The only States in which salt is manufactured to any extent are Michigan, whose product in 1870 was $1,176,811; New York, whose product was $925,709; Ohio, whose product was $773,492; Pennsylvania, whose product was $187,312, and West Virginia, whose product was $1,507,605. The total amount of capital engaged in business was $6,461,615; the total wages paid was $1,146,910; the total number of hands employed was 2,953 ; the total value of materials used was 1,760,670; the total quantity of salt produced was 17,606,105 bushels, valued at $1,818,29. This shows that the manufacture of salt is one of the most insignificant industries.in the country; it is almost entirely confined to five States and five companies. The average tariff on salt in bags, according to an official statement from the Treasury Department, was 85 per cent., and the average tariff on bulk salt was 139 per cent. And yet, notwithstanding these exorbitant taxes levied on every consumer of salt for the protection of the five companies engaged in making it, it does not appear that the manufacture of salt is inecreasing; we are paying high prices for the article, but are not/building up the home production of it. There are only a few places where it can be successfully made, and in those places the business is monopolized by a single wealthy and powerful corporation. We imported in 1870 salt to the value of $4,155,771, the duty on which was sl,l7s,o9B—there being required for every bushel brought in for consumption a bushel and a fraction to pay the duty on it. The amount of revenue yielded to the Government by this exorbitant tariff was the small sum of $1,175,098; but the amount of money paid by the consumers to the home manufacturers was about $3,000,000. In other words, the people paid three millions of dollars tax for the protection of a home. industry prosecuted by five companies, employing only 2,053 hands, paying only $1,146,910 wages and yielding a product of only $4,818,229. |

The industry which consumes the la‘rges};t amount of salt, and which, therefore, is most concerned in having cheap salt, is meat-packing—a partieular Western interest. This is an enormous business; it employs a capital of $22,124,787, uses materials to the value of $50,634,096, and yields an annual product of $62,140,439. Here, ‘then, is one single Western interest, itself a home industry, which is taxed one hundred per cent.on the salt it uses, for the benefit of another interest only one-twelfth as great. ‘ A very significant fact connected with this excessive tariff on salt is that the fishing inferest is exempted from it. - Why this should be so—why fishpackers should be permitted to have salt free of duty, while beef and porkpackers are required to pay a hundred per cent. duty on it is a thing which we do not know how to explain, except by the fact that fish-packing is a New England industry, while beef and porka packing is a Western one. The capital employed in fishing is $4,469,505, of which Massachusetts alone owns $2287,881, or more than, one-half; the annual product is $11,096,522, of which Massachusetts alone produces $6,215,325, - This small fishing interest, of which a single State owns one-half, is especially exempted from tariff on salt, while the packing business, six times as great, in which the farmers of all the Western States are interested, are required to pay that tariff, for the protection of another insignificant home industry. e i The pretext for exempting the fishing interest from the salt tariff, is the necessity of Dbuilding up American. shipping; it is urged that if we recognize fishing by free salt, we encourage and multiply the number of those hardy seamen who are to man our merchant vessels in time of peace, and our fighting ships in time of war. What a grimace this argument becomes when viewed side by side with the faect that we have “protected” American shipping out of existence! We try to multiply sailors, but give them no ships to navigate. We tax ship building material till it is impossible to build ships; and we exempt New England fishermen from the salt tax to produce a supply of seamen for the ships which we cannot build, and are forbidden to buy. « TRrY THIS TRICK.—The latest amusement, says a “phunny phellow,” is termed the “ Printer’s Delight,” and is performed in the following manner: Take a sheet- of note paper, fold it carefully, and enclose a bank note sufficiently large to pay up all arrear‘ages for subseription, ‘advertising and job work. And what adds immensely to the feat is to send along the names of a few subscribers, “with cash to balance.” Keep your eye on the printer, and if you detect a smile the trick is a success. :

WOMAN. By an immense practice, extending through a period of: years, having within that time treated many thousand cases of those diseases peculiar to woman, I have been enabled to perfect a most potentand agreeable medicine that meets the indications presented by that class of diseases with positive certainty and exactness. To designate this natural specific compound, I have named it ) x . , . . s Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. The term, however, is but a feeble expression of my most matured a{)preciatiou of its value, based ugon actual and witnessed realities. As a close obseryer, I have while witnessing its Xositive results in the few special diseases incident to the geparate organism of woman, singléd it out as the climax or crowning gem of my medlgl career. On its meritsasa gositive, safe, and®effectual remedy for this class o’i iseases, and one that will at all times and under all circumstanceés act kindly and in harmonfv with the laws which govern the female system, I am willing to stake my regutation as & phyrician. Nay, even more, 80 confident am I that it will not disappoirit the most sanguine expectationg of a sin€le invalid ladY who employs it for any of the ailments for which I recommend it, that I offer and gell it under A POSITIVE GUARANTEE, If a beneficial effect is not experienced by the time two-thirds of the contents ‘of the bottle are used, I will, on return of the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having been taken accordinﬁ to directions, and the case beinﬁ one for which I recoms mend it, ;t)romptly refund the money paid for it. Had I not the most perfect confidence in its vir tues, I could not offer it as I do under these conditions; but having witnessed its trul{ miraculous cures in thousands of..cases, I feel ware ranted and perfeectly safe in risking both my reputation and my money on its merits. ! ; The following are among those diseases in which my Favorite Prescription has worked cures—as if by magic and with a certainty never before attained by any medicine: Leucorrheea, Excessive Flowing, Painful Monthly Periods, Snp})reseions when from unnatural causes, Irregularities, Weak Back, Prolapsus, or falling of the Uterus, Anteversion and Retroversion, Bearing Down Sensations, Internal Heat, Nervous Dﬂ)resslon, Debili&y, Despondency, Threatened Miscarriage, Chronic Congestion, Inflammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sterility, Female Weaknesg, and very many other chronic diseases incident to woman not mentioned here, in which, as -well as in the cases which I have mentioned, my Favorite Prescription works cures—the mare vel of the zorld. This medicine I do not extol as a cure-all, but it admirably fulfills a singleness of gil_n?o-e, being & most perfoct specific in all chronic diseases of the sexual system of woman. It will not disappoint, nor will it do harm in any state or condition, It will be feund invaluable in diseases incident to preg. nancy, and can be taken in moderate doses wl&l perfect snfet;r while in that state. Indeed, it is a 2 Mother’s Cordial, and go pregares the gystem for parturition that it renders child-labor easy. I have received the heartfelt %mlse from hundreds! of ﬁxothers for the inestimable benefits thus conferred. : 1 offer my Favorite Prescription to the Ladies of America with the sincerity of an honest heart, and for their best welfare, Those who desire further information on these mmasn -obtain it in my TREATISE ON CHRONIC ES OF THE GENERATIVE AND URINARY ORGANS, sent secure from observation ufon receipt of two postage stamps.
