SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE. Tliere wan a time irkss this phrase was a hv-wordJofVrorri. FsfSSBfS wanted nnnew litngled notions, hut were Content to sow and reap as their SSfcYsflB had done before them. Hat, fortunately for mankind. thU prejudice is passing away. Leibig has de monstrated, that, for ev-rv grain of whent which is grown, a c ertain quantity of potash Is taken up from the soil, and that, until this lost ingredient Is restored, either by manuring or by letting the ground lie fal low, the capacity of that particular field to niliio whent is ui far forth diminished. lie lias shown also that what is true of wheat is : also true of rye. oats. Indian corn, grasses, and all other vegetable products, the ingro- j dient taken up only being altered. What i the great agricultural chemist hs thus do- j monstrated m the laboratorv, enterprising .: , , . t, , , ' - 1 6 ! "Because you have been taking the pa farmers in Seot land and England have prov- . . ....,.., .... , 1 . . , per for three years and never paid him a d practically in the field. I lie laws winch I 1 govern the growth of plants have been an nlvsed and exemplified as sucressTully as those which control the circulation of the blood, the uses of respiration, or the consti tution of the air. To be successful in raising a good crop is now almost as much matter of known cause and effect as the driving of locomotives or the lighting of a city. 'Yet, in spite of this, scientific agriculture is still greatly neglected. Even one of its first laws, that no more land should be farm ed than can be thoroughly cultivated, is constantly neglected. Three agriculturists out of every four, in the Stute of Pennsyl vania alone, where generally the cultivation is so thorough and remunerative, undertake more land than they can properly man age. An agricultural cotemporary, in view of this fact, estimates that an improved econ omy in this matter would add to the nett receipts of each farm, annually, an increase of one-sixteenth over the present yield of grains, or enough to pay all the taxi s now collected vearlv on the land, which amounts. as is well known, to the round sum of two r i it m , .. , millions of dollars. Jo each particular farmer it seems but a small leak, yet how va.-t is the aggregate ! The difference be tween what might bo done, and what is done merely in this one matter, would, in thirty years, make any farmer rich. It is a dif ference that, in a year of drought, would avert a scarcity. It is a difference that, tit all times, would materially contribute to wards giving us the agricultural market of the world, by giving ue first an enormous surplus to sell. iMpnovEO Bkkrd ok Poi i.tky. In a report on the poultry show at the late Ag ricultural Exhibition at Cheltenham, Mas sachusetts, the Dorking and Cochin classes aro described as of unusual excellence, such as specially deserving encouragement, for the following reasons : "The great object of the poultry-keeper and the poultry-consuming public is to ob tain good birds fit for the table early in tin season. Now, Cochins Iny through the winter, Dorkins not till spring. Keep both sorts : and the one will provide you. first, with egg- for winter consumption, and then with brood hens ready to sit on the very first eggs that the others lay, so that from these, the best breed in the world for the ta ble, you will procure birds of the very best quality fit for the table at the very earliest periods."

The phial should be kept in a cold place when there is no great current of air, ami it will contiuue its luminous appearance for more than a year. L" A new article of soap, made from cot ton seed, has been manufactured at New Orleans. It h purely vegetable, and has the same properties as Castile soap; the color is dark, for the reason that it is made of the dirtiest portion of the seed. It sold at six cents per pound. is Ground Oats for Horses. Ground oats contain more of the introgenous or flesh-making principle than any other kind of horse food; at the same time they fur nish a mixture of coarse and fine food the husk of the first and the meal of the latter. The coarse serves to keep the bowels in n soluble condition, thus obviating the neces sity for drastic medicine. m m - - - Advantage of Keeping Manure Cov ered. An experimtnt conducted by the President of an Agricultural Society in Eng land, shows that man ii iv which was kept covered by nine inches in depth with earth, so that no evaporation escaped, produced four bushels more of grain per acre, than the same quantity and kind of mauure ap plied to the same extent and qunlity of land, but which manure had laid from the 13th Januan to the 4th of April, exposed to the weather.

He makes his tenants M come to time" on the very day the rent comes due, and will only relax his stern decrees when a handsome woman is in question. Not long since, he called for his rent of a very worthy mechanic, who, by the way, rejoices in the possession of a verv pretty little wife. The husband was not at home when Shylock called, and he was enchanted with the pretty little wife of the tenant. She could not liquidate the amount due ; but the landlord becoming really enamoured, told her he would give a receipt in full for just one kiss. " Sir," said she, boiling with indignation, "myself and husband are very poor; perhaps we cannot pay our rent ; but I tell you, sir, we're not so poor but we can do our own kis.-ing !" Ain't that a glorious consolation for poor folks? The hardened creditor may take all their property, but he can't deprive them of the privilege of kissing. Elmira Gazette.
