Agricultural Coraisoa Sense on the Farm- We furnish our readers with a few extracts from an article in the North Western Farmer under the above caption : 7The growth of crop. the raising and fattemn of stock, and the care and sale of both crop and stock when ready for market, are matters por- erned and regulated by general laws. Cut these general laws are mdified by a great ' variety of circumstances, aud sometimes modified to such an etteut by these contingencies as to appear, like a suspension of the law jtself. 1 To ' foresee these modifying circumstances, and to : be prepared to meet them to the best advantage, requires. the exercise of common sense in a do- 1 gree scarcely demanded in any other business. tor example, one man extols lime as a fertil- 4 izcr, and his neighbor is induced to expend five or ten dollars an acre for lime to bring up the fertility of his fields. Tho first man cultivates a stiff clay soil in which all the plant food is locked up in a form in which the growing crops can - use it only in very limited quantities.'- The lime decomposes these unfavorable combinations and liberates the elements of the soil in a form adapted to the growth of plants. . From these effects he firmly believes that all that is pecded is plenty of lime and- thorough cultivation to secure the largest yield from the soil. The second farmer cuUivt-s.a light sandy soil, warm and porous, so that the air penetrates it freely, and consequently the vegetable matter in it de cays rapidly, aud the gases produced from this decay escapes readily into tho air and are lost, or at least are added to the common stock of plant food iu that grat reservoir. Now com.1 mon sense would have inquired into the sitnU larity of soil, situation, exposure, &c, before it concluded that what was true ofooo farm would be true of the other. f Not merely in the matter of fertilizers Is com. mon sense, required iu determining the applies bility of general Jaws, but. perhip. in' deciding the question of what ho shall cultivate, a good farmer will draw more heavily on his common sense than in the decision of any other question that will be likely to arise In the- management of his firm- .. ' "Subsoil plowing" is another hobby, exten sively ridden by agricultural writers nnd in soils adapted to it. too much cannot be said in praise of it. Hut if your compact, tough, clay subsoil is saturated with water every winter and "priog, ' a little common sense will tell you that the firtt winter will run your broken subsoil together ro that it will be nearly as compact as it was be fore you broke it, nnd your labor will bo mainly lost Common sense would advise to. eet clear of the water by under drainage, and then you may subsoil to advantage. 5, Matiy things are useful on the farm, but row mou swne wither -tnost 'useful" implement tho farmer has at his coiiimand. . ' , Whippino Oxkn. It is cruel and generally a useless act of barbarism to whip oxen, yet many ' firmcrs are in the habit of continually keeping the whip a going. Inxtcad of inviting the . auimals to exertion by proper words, tha first intimation that the poor creatures have from their master that he desires them to Start, is a cut of . the whip or a prick from iho goad, This is not only savage, hut absolutely wioked, and wholly unnecessary. Another practice often, seen is that of pouuditi garni, thrashing the oxrn because , they don't readily back a load, when they have not learned to back nn empty. cart down hill. There is no doubt that the selling of many, a yoke of oxen depreciated from 875 to $25 by being abused In this way. If animals are to work, they must first bo taught to work, and when they understand - wh it is wanted of j them, they will cheerfully comply. JJut thero is a. better, way to communicate jyour desires than through the whip. Kindness a'nd skillful management are far better. - Itcuicmber that 4 'mctciful 'man is merciful to his beast " Census of Inebriety. Dr. . McKinley. of Chicago, presents -soma , statistics of .inebriety. Taking tho country at lirgo. ; exclusive of cities, the male "drinking classes have ten confirmed drunkards fur every thousand drinkers. In cities the proportion w twelve to a thousand. A city of 20U.000 would have 2.40 drunkards, and a State having a million people would be entitled to 10,000 chronir cally thirsty souls. Out of 1.000 women 14 drink alcohol in some form, about four women in every thousand ore coiifipned inebriates. In aby city where there are 100.000 women, thcrs would bit over 400 of them habitual drunkards. Taking the population of this country, out of every 300 men there are 122 who never drink ardent spirits, 100 who drink moderately, 60 who are ephemeral drinkers, 25 who have their sprees, and 3 goiiers." In 700 women COO uever taste alcoholic liquor of any kiud, 30 tasta wine occasionally, 30 cannot get on without their beer or ale. 1 i are steady drinkers of alcohol, nnd 3 rather unsteady, but lyge drinkers. There are fewer women who drink than of meo only one woiu.in in ev-n and one man In three, or more nearly, two men .in fire.
