But : there is no reason to suppose that they would be greatly modifled if * brought up to the prescent data. The - truth is, farm property is fr.er §from - debt than it has beenjat any former time during the last quarter of a cen-#4.-tury. A very large proportion of f?tarms are bought op credit, or they ¥ were a few yeurs ago. A payment % sas male down and the purchaser { made a mortgage f r the back pay--4 ments.

They paid off their mort- - gages and then laid up money. The great increase in the proportion of urban mortgages- results probab'y from speculations that have been going on in Western towns and cities during the last ten years in real es. tate. But if the facts cited are approximately correct, and thereis good . authority behind them, no great in- ~ dustrial business has been prosecuted . in this country with a greater aver- . age degree of prosperity than agri- . gulture.—San Francisco Call.

A rotation, to be profitable, m: embody several distinct features. must comprise crops that mature different seasons of the year, in or that the labor of the farm may fi profitable 2mployment. This is i perative. It should consist of crc for which the ground can be prepar and the planting done at differe seasons of the year. It should cc sist of crops that draw. ‘as far possible, on different elements : fertility in the soil, and, if possib of some crops which restor the e .+ mentsof fortility which have be - " exhausted by our crops. e 1t should embrace both grain crc

TT R Toe S S RARS Tand forage crops, and finally, should consist of oune or more cleaning Crops; that is, crops that either smother out weeds or furnish ample opportunity | for destroying them in the cultiva- | tion demanded, for other reasons, by the crop. For the above reasons, rotation, whenever adopted, should | contain, as far as possible, grain | crops, grass crops and hoea crops, by | the latter being ment such Crops as require tillage in some form during their period ot growth, as. for in. | Btance, corn and potatoes in America, ' | and potatoes, turnips, mangles, heets, (&c.. in Europe. Asall ordinary ro- | tation must necessarily contain shal- o ' low rooting crops, such as wheat, ' | oats and corn, they should also con- P i tain deep rooting crops, such as the i clover and what are known ordinarily | as root crops. In addition to the ] above every rotation should contain : i crops that are soil feeders, as it must ' necessairly contain crops that are | l soil robbers —that is, crops that re- ' stdre nitrogen, the most expensive ] and most important element of fertitity, and crops that exhaust it, as, | | for ‘e; _ all our grain crops, i T e blotd GLUiEN

A S . P PR SB SE e HOODOOED BY A cOW. The New York and the Etruria 'Brokol Down in the Same Spot. ‘ The crew of the Etcuria says it was all due to a dead cow. Whether this is the fact or not neither Capt. Walker of the Etruria nor Capt. Jameson of the New York can tell, although both think it a strang occarrence that the two great steamships, Loth bound west, should have broken down on the same day, in exactly the same latitude and longitude. By a singular coincidence the steamships were each delayed ten and & ha'f hours for repairs, and each of the vessels was about twelve hours late in making the port. The Etruria reiched New York Sunday morning, bringing a crew of seamen who believe that old Neptune is after them in carnest. Seamen arc always supesstitious, and to the average tar it is as unlucky to sight a dead cow at | sea, on the sixth day of the last| monvh of the year, as it is to fall ovirboard on Friday.

INCOME-TAX PROVISIONS. i Features of the Bill as Agreed To by the 5 Ways and Means Committee = i The income tax bill, as agreed upon ’ | by the Democratic members of the | i Ways and Means Committee, provides ! i that the incomre tax is to go into effect | | | Jan. 1, 1845, the firsi collection to te | { July 1, 1895. All classes of incomes !u--.- included in the measure and the | uniform rate of 2 per cent. tax: on in- | { comes of over $4,000 is fixed. It is! ! made obligatory on all persons ! receiving individual incomes of over | l $3500 'to make -a return to | i the local collector of internal revenu.. i No tax is levied on those muaking a re- { turn of under $4,00". In case a person | | having an incoma of over $3,500 fails | { to make a return it becomes the duty | % of the revenue assessor to investigate, | i and if this examination discleses that | the income is above $4,000 it is sub- | i jected to twice the ordinary tax under | | the law, and the party failing to make | i his return is sub’ect to fine and impris- , | onment. 5 | Provision :s also made by which no { information can be made public as to | the details of the income reported by | | citizens. Any person who divulges any | { part of this information is made sub-! ject to criminal prosecution, with | l heavy fine and penalty. Particular | provision is made for the collection of | | the tax due on salaries—not only offi- | { cials, but of individuals—received fiom | ‘ business firms, corporations, etc. The | individual receiving the salary does not | | pay the tax, but it is made the duty | | of every Government, State, County, | and municipal disbursing officer | | to retain 2 per cent. of all salaries | ‘| over the taxable amoent.
