A Good Fcecl for i'dfe-tlry. Take a piece of liver, rough beef, or even b!ocd, about a pound, and boil it to pieces in half a gallon of water, adding more when too mush has evaporated. While boiling, add half a pint of soaked beans, the same of rice aad the same of lineeed meal. When the whole is eooked,"aud salt to taste, and thicken with two parts ground oats, one part middlings and one of corn meal. Add tho utixed ground grain until the mess has thickened to a stiff doujh. If il burns, a little no harm y.ill be doue. Then stir in half a pint of ground bone. If milk is convenient, it may also be added, either as curds, buttermilk or any other shape. When boiling, add a tablespoonful ef bread soda to the water.. This food may be cook ed in the shape of cakes and crumbled for the fowls or fed in the soft state. A table spoonful of this is sufficient for each hen. Profit In Potato Crops. For late potatoes it is very doubtful if it is ever good policy to plant the same field more than two, or, at most three, years before the crop is changed to some otl cr hod crop or laid down to grass. Massachusetts buys large quantities of po tatocs that are grown outside of the State, and it is a question whether farmers had not better devote more attention to this jerop, and lees to tonic of 'the crops that are now grown in sueh qantitics as to very frequently overstock' the market to an ex tent that brings prices below the cost , of production. By such change we could keep our money at home which i now sent out for potatoes, and, at the same time, re duce the production of other crops to such an extent as would be rery likely to bring prices u tM point where there would be some profit in preduciog them. Should we decide to grow more potatoes, it is im portant that, if less other crops are to be grown, it should be of those crops that are now grown in excess of the demand, and not by dropping other crop3 that we do not'grow half enough of, and which -can be grown to a good profit. For example, it would be very poor policy to grow two aen?s less of corn that we might grow two acres more of potatoes. It is often said that we grow such large quantities of farm, prodacts that we .greatly overstock - the market. Massachusetts Plough)nan Spring Plowing. .. .- - American Ayricultirr'tt. In plowing small -fields," it is the easiest vtray to set a plow in at the bars entering the field and follow tho fene around. Be sides, if the work is to be done by proxy, the plowman needs little .watching, except to sec that "he' keeps bin furrows true and of the required depth and lays the sod well over, that one is tempted "to allow it, and thus at every plowing the soil is heaped up against the out side of tho field. "Back furrowing,"' or "left about," is, of course, the only retnedy. Common. :;. farm hands makssch . tangling work of., this, that it is nceessgry to., stake; sift $e furrows for them and watch' them besides, especially in irregular, fields. TVhen properly done, the entire field'is plowed: in one "land," unless it is very much broken up. The old dead-furrows, left .when-the field was last plowed, ""iaaj ordinarily be seen, and will 6erve as a guide. They will probably be found quite accurately . in the eantr. To lay out a- let-for back-furrowing, the line of the first furrow should be well stak ed, midway between two parklled sides. t should not come nearly to the other sides, and in plowing, the land plowed should imitate in its beginning and progress the ffnish of a field piofred outward '-from the ctttrer;-irhu3 after. plowing a few fur rows,' carrying the plow around at the ends of the land, the plow is run across the ends and not taken out a again umi! the field is finished. . In plowing old ground for spring- grain;; the -dead farrows will come in the middle of the field in all probability, unless it be plowed in several lands. To make smooth work after the land is plowed, turn halt a dosen" farrows "left about" back into the dead furrow, plowing the two inner -ones deep, and the next two shal ower, and the next two -mere scratches. Thus plowed, the field may be sowed and seeded down without a dead furrow, if well j them in the tropics.

The figures have been grouped very instructively and some very valuable lessons may be drawn from them. The statistics of per capita , tax in the dif ferent States are a matter of economic value in more respects than one. They are es pecially important in showing that the South is a desigabb section to, locate in, to secure freedom from the burdens - of government in their heavier phases, and when this privilege is associated, as in the ease of the South, with better climate, supe rior natural rehourccs, freedom from bleak winters and killing cold, ard all the ad- .vantagfcBi! our sanny region, the induce meet to give theSouth lie preference as a place to immigrate to, is irresistible.

Last year the meat of more than a mil lion beeves slaughtered"in Chica;o was seat Eeast by railroad in competition with the shipments of live cattle. Ia conse quence of this lively competit ion thetruck- hne pool has ordered an advance of 5Q, per cent, in the if? tea of freight for dressed beef, to take effect on" the," 1st of March The railroad companies are . the 'business rivals of the Chicago shippers of dressed meat, as they own enormous, cattle yard in New York, Philadelphia and other .Eas tern cities. As the monopoly over, the meat market has been broken by Chicago dressed beef the railroad companies are. re solved to cheek, it not to wholly prevent, its transportation. To the masses of con sumers in the East the simple mean ng of this is: Baar meat, ' At any rate this ad vance in freight rates must raise the price of beef. If the shippers of dressed meat are driven out of competition the cattle yard monopoly will be restored and the public be once more at its mercy. We need not regard the great Chicago firms that ship dressed meat to, the hun. gry consumers of the East ts missionaries of mercy. .If they had a monopoly of this trade they would doubtless prove . as re morseless and greedy as the cattle-yard combination. In this strugglo Jetween the cattle yard propritors and the railroads on tho one side and the Chicago shippers of dressed meat on. the other for a gigantic monopoly the present interest of the pub lic is very plain. "Tt Uof the utmost con cern -to the .masses of. consumers, in -the East that the dressed meat of Chicago shall not b.e driven from the market by the ar bitrary flat "of the railroad companies that have no egitimatc interest in this.questions except as cominon"earriers. The railroad pool now presents itself -to ""the pu.bJie- .as a forestaller .of the markets as a conspira cy to makcni.at dear- tothe"people. -.- As common carriers of freight-. ih.e trunk-line railroads exercises 'an enormous influence, -pver every department of the country Vlradeand industry .'""By''.. arbit rarily pooling ate competition is stifled, and each, company in the pool exercises absolute sway over the territory which it occupies.-1" I ....... -1 By' the! power-to fix uniform.?""- " , " rates of-fm,htthe trunk -lines ban raise or depress at will the prices of nearly all necessaries of living.'- Is not that enough and more than enough? By no means: The railroad companies have assumed & more dangerous function. As cat te-! yard owners and butchers theyrssume the pow er to fix the pricesof the daily meat of the .people. If they can a this, w ith irapuni- j Jy, what- bounds can ; be set to their usur pation and tryanny? At the very time when our committers of Congress are deiibarating upon measures to prevent unjust dscriaiLnatioTi in freights Itherrailroad companies do not. hesitate, to brave public ppiuion by an acti. which out does all former aggressions. ' In order to prohibit,.t4he "transportation-of a prime necessary of life ttiey, double the. rates of freight on it,and thus make war -upon their. iOWn legitimate business of common 'tsarriera for "which they hold their charters. They place their interests as members of a oat-tie-yard jing.Bbojreheir-dnty to the pub lic fnd, to Hheirstock holders, which re quires them to transport "all freights -at moderate and fair rates. .. What" plea wi'l-j their agents and attorneys in Oo.Bfgress and in. State- Legislatures" ha ab'cv to -make in deif nse o"f.tlrs iniquity? Itt-the presence of this attempt to forestajl the:meat ma -kets of the country, what pretext can they offir against the'immediatepassage.of laws to prevent unjust freight discriminations?

A light gray, sandy soil with yellow day subsoil is most satisfactory for the cul tivation -of tohacco, but an articlet)fequally fine flavor and quality is raised on white floury land with like subsoil. FineyelTow tobacco can be grown " on any light, :thin soil, with growth of" whortleberry, chinijue pin, sourwood, persimmon," post oak, black jack, or any .of them. e Some of the most successful cultivators of the weed prefer old fields grown up in pines or covered with broom-sedge; those lands produce the brightest wrappers, o fine, 6i'.ky texture, but the virgin.-wood , ii .. -- . , i nxvwuuui cuiiuuuu do vi loeir Pat?

In the Tobacco Belt of North Carolina promi nent farmers have recently come to the conclusion that there is scarcely a farm upon which some spot of land may not be j' found that will produce a good yield ! j the fine yellow toboco, from the Roanoke to the Cape Fear, and froai ths coast of j the East to the mountains ct the West aud even far beyond. New woodlands or piney eld fields re qoiies the same preparation in winter or in e r!y spring as for corn or cotton. j B -oom -sedge or old field should be thor oughly broken up) the'fall previous to its planting, and if possible the sedge should bo. turned under while green- In the monthsbf March and April following the soil should be made as fine as possible by repeated dragging and ploughing. After wards the rows should be carefuHy laid off with a shovel plow, in lines of from three to three and a half feet apart, the stronger soil requiring the wider rows. If home-made manure is to be used stable or cow pen lot it be mixed and scattered thinly in the drill-furrow, so an to go completely over the whole crop area, and follow with the concentrated fertilizer at the rate of from 200 to 250 pounds to the'acre," according te the strength of tho soil. The land should then be bedded with an ordinary turning plow, and then made with the hoe into hills three feet apart from centre to centre. Smooth these off until they present an even, flat eurfaoe 20 or 25 inched in diameter, and indent the middle with the hoe. Now thay are ready for setting the paints when the proper season. The makingof hills with the is a tedious and expensive process, but it is still al most universally practiced. W o -o o LOW FOR: CASH, The No. 2, $2.50. (C " 35, 2.00. " 45, 2.25.
