SMALL FARMS MOST PROFITABLE —Small
farms always dp return the largest profit.
There are thousands of farmers, all over the
United States, who would make more clean
money to dispose of one half their land, and
work the remainder thoroughly, than they
now make by going over such a large breadth.
Still large farms can be cultivated with more
net profit to the proprietor than small oneß
by proper management. Yet according to
the present system of management, small
farms do return the most profit.
The reason for this is, that a farmer with
only a small number of acres is more apt to
till better, manure more bountifully, and per
form every operation more thoroughly than
if he were required to till double the number
of acres. If a farmer, for example, work!
twenty acres, be must necessarily keep a good j
team, and as complete an assortment of tools
and iarm implements as it* he were cultiva
ting City acres. A good team will usually
perform all the labor on fifty acres and re
quire very little more care aud feed than if
they perform only the labor of a twenty-acre
farm. Taking this view of the subject, it will
be perceived that it costs comparatively more
to carry on a mall farm than a large one.
But the chief ..rgument against large farms
is, that fanasrs are liable to work over a j
great breadth of land without doing every
part of the cultivation thoroughly. The man
with a small farm will make more manure in
comparison to his neighbor who cultivates
twice as much land as himself. For this rea
son, the farmer who has the greatest breadth
of cultivable acres will not usually raise as
bountiful crops as if he tilled only half of
the amount of land. A thorough going farm
er may cultivate fifty acres with as satisfaeto
ry profit acre for acre, as he can till twenty,
if he managejudiciously.
THINGS DONE.— Coffee, ten, pepper, and
spices are left stand open and loose their
strength.
The cork is left out of the molasses jug, aud
the fl.es take possession.
Vinegar is drawn in a tin basin and allowed
to stand until both basin and vinegar are
spoiled.
Dried fruit is not taken care ot in season,
and becomes wormy.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the sprouts
ore not removed until they become worthless.
Pork spoils for want of salt, and beef be
cause the briDe wants scalding.
Bones are burned that would make sonp.
Clothes are left on the line to whip to
pieces in the wind.
Brooms are never bung up, and soon are
spoiled.
Teapots are melted by the stove.
Water is forgotten and left in pitchers and
allowed to freeze, in winter.
Slops for cow and pig never saved; and in
many other ways a careless and inexperienc
ed housekeeper will waste, without heeding,
the hard wages of her husband.
[The above are household leaks from Mrs-
Haskell's llouse Encyclopedia. There are
some who doubtless, can learn something by
reading them.
THERE IS A SEASON FOR AU. THINGS.—
And all things should be in season, on a farm
especially.
If a farmer is a week or ten days late in
sowing or planting, the rust or mildew may
get his wheat, or the frost his corn. To be
in season, have things ready. If you have
no good seed, get it —if yon have to pay fifty
cents per bushel above the market price; and
in regard to wheat, always make a brine that
will float a potatoe, nod swim off ali foul
seeds, oats and light wheat before sowing—it
will pay. A thing worth doing at nil, is
worth doing well.
Seed corn should be selected with care—
not as a neighbor did last season. I gave
him the privaUge of selecting it at a dollar
or taking it as it came at 75 cents per bushel.
He said, "sound nubbins would grow as well
as large and full grown cars."' He raised
thirty bushels to the acre of excellent corn.
I picked my seed from the same crib to plant
ten acres of late break:- and it turned off
fifty bushels ; r acre. I believe like begets
like. •
We can't sow pink seed, v.ild buckwheat,
oats, chess, and reasonably c-pect tc harvest
a good crop of 'Neither plant seed
corn from nubbins, and raise heavy corn; or
follow the rule of large potatoes for sale and
for the table, and mall ones to plant, and
look for a good teturn for our labor.
RECIPE WORTH slooo.— The Ohio Culti
vator says the following recipe is worth one
thousand dollars to every house keeper .
"Take one pound of sal soda and ball a
pound of un. icked lime and put them in a
gallon of wn r, bod twenty minutes, let it
tand till ct . then drain off and put in a
small jug or jar; soak your dirty clothes over
night, or until iliey are wet through, then
wring tbem, and rub on plenty of soap, and
with water add one teacupful of the washing
fluid; boil half an hour or more, rinse, and
your clothes will look better than by the old
way of washing twice before boiling. This is
an invaluable recipe, and e' ery poor, tired
woman should try it."
LOOK TO THE WEEPS. —Every good farmer
knows that to insure satisfactory crops bis
land must be cultivated in the best manner,
and if it is so cultivated few weeds will be
found upon it. Sometimes, even upon well
managed farms, i!j a field here and there,
owing to adverse . weather, a shortness of
hands, or a rush of work generally, be
ueg.ected for a few days the weeds may get a
start: but this happens rarely, and an ob-
serving man can always judge of the char
# acter of a farmer by glancing his eye over
his premises. If the weeds are not to be
regularly and systematically destroyed, the
idea of conducting agricultural operations
profitably may as well be abandoned, for the
ouc is.quite incompatible with the other.
And this is even more pointedly so with
the garden. Weeds and a garden crop are as
antagonistic as life and death. They cannot
stand upon the same platform. One must be
master, and it is tor the owner to say which.
If a garden is systematically worked—and
w;thout system no garden is worth having—
the labor of keeping down the weeds is re
duced one-half. But let them once get ahead,
and they may be fought all summer and prove
victorious in the end.
Again, lei no weeds go to seed; and do not
throw into the public highway such as do, to
bo washed down upon the land of your neigh
bor.— Germantown Telegraph.

NEW METHOD or BOOK-K.EEPI.VC.— Some
time since, a barber was brought before the
police court at Paris, charged with having
customers in his house after midnight.' The
examination is thus reported :
Barber.—lt is the fault of this person,
Merlon, who is in the court, as he has not
time to be shaving until late at night.
The President.—You ought not, at all
events, to disturb the public peace; there were
cries issuing from your house, as if you had
been committing murder.
Merlon.—He was shaving; that's almost the
same. [Laughter.]
The President.—Was it you. then, Merlon,
who was crying out as if you were being
flaved ?
Merlon. Yes, in fact he was flaying me
[a general laugh,]—he was cutting me hor
ribly.
Barber.—lt is very true, but I made a mis
take.
Merlon.—Did you mean to cut me?
Barber.—l do not say that—prolonged
laughter]—l certainly did not mean to cut
him so deep—[loud and continued laughter.]
The President. —Did you then cut him on
purpose?
Barber.—lndeed I did, in tbe spirit of my
order. You understand, one does not like
to be below his business.
The President and Merlon together.—And
why ?
Barber.—The whole affair 13 this; Mr. Mer
lon is not to be trusted, as he does not pay
the ready money. He used to cheat me in
(Ate number of shaves for which he owed me;
when he had twelve, he used to say that he
had only six, so that I lost both my razor, my
soap, and my time. At last 1 devised a
method of keeping a reckoning not to be dis
puted.
The President.—How was that?
Barber.—Every time I shave him, I make
a notch in his cheek [general laughter] when
we count up, I look at his cheek—so many
shaves —[renewed laughter]—but the other
day the razor turned in my hand—l made the
figure too large and it was this that made him
cry out and disturb the neighborhood.
Amidst general laughter, the barber was
condemned to pay the full penalty, and the
President advised him to renounce in future
his new system of keeping accounts.
FITCH HIM IN. —Mr. Greelev has never
been accused of extravagance in dress, even
by the Democrats. One morning, some years
ago, habited in his usual quaint style, he was
leaning over the counter in the Tribune office
eating an apple when an Englishman entered
who had that morning arrived by steamer, and
who. it turned out, was connected with the
London Times, and had come to arrange
some business between that paper and the
Tribune.
Approaching Mr. Greeley with a very arro
gant air, he said;
"Fellow, do you work here?"
"Yes, sir"
"Is Mr. Greeley in?"
"Yes, sir."
After waiting a little, and seeing that the
fellow seemed very indifferent to his presence
and inquiries, he burst but almost choked
with indignation:
" Well, why the devil don't you go and fetch
him in?"
"I am Mr. Greeley, at your service," was
answered in the same calm and indifferent
manner.
Johnny Bull's hat was removed from his
head with alacrity, and when our friend left,
he was stammering his confused apologies to
the chief of the Tribune.
WORTH TELLING AGAIN.— When Nich
Biudle was connected with the United States
Bank, there was an old negro named Harry,
who used to be loafing around the premises-
One day in a social mood, Biddle said to the
darkey, "JVeil, what is your Dame, my old
friend? "Harry, sir—old Harry, sir," said
the other, touching his sleepy hat. "Old
Harry! ' said Biddle, "why, that is the name
that they gave to the devil, is it not ?" "Yes,
sir," said the colored gentleman, "sometimes
old Harry and sometimes old Nick."

attacks of Croat, it should be kept on hand iu ev
ery familv, and indeed as all are sometimes sub
ject to colds and coughs, all shou'd be provided
with this an.'dote for them.
Al.hough seu!:l consumption is thought iccur
ab'e, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settlca, have been complete'v cured
and the oatient restored to sonnd health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So comp'ete is its mastery over
the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the
most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing
else could reach them, under the Chorry Pectoral
they subs'ue and disappear.
Fingers end public speakers find great protec
tion fiom it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tho
Chorry Pectoral in small and frequent dosos.
So generally arc its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public tha. its qualities arc
fully maintained.

Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poison
ous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any
patient. The number and importance of stscuros
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account

of Ague medicine. Our pride i gratified by the
ocknow'edgments we receive ol the radical cures

For Live- Comp'aints, arising from the torpid

For Bilious Lisoidera anu Liver Comnlaints, it

For a few moi.ths past we have advertised
the above Watches at extremely low prices,
and the result has been most satisfactory.
Our plan has been to sell the genuine WAL

ses only, and at a very small profit; giving
the purchaser every opportunity of examina
tion and comparison, and with the under
standing that if the Watch does not prove
satisfactory, it can be exchanged or the mo
ney refunded.
1 hese Watches are, without exception, the
most perfect specimens of fine mechanism
ever produced in any country. Each and ev
ery part is made by machinery of the most
delicate and elaborate construction.
Compared with foreign watches, they pos
sess many advantages, excelling not only in
principle and finish, but still more in their
reliability as time-keepers. As an indica
tion of the prices we submit the following:
Silver Hunting Watches, $lB 00
Gold Hunting Watches, IS karat,... 80 00

We oflen receive orders direct from our
advertisement, but prefer that every one
should send first for our descriptive price
list, which explains all the different kinds,
tells the weight and quality of the cases, and
gives prices of each. This we will forward
to any one on application, and it will be found
very useful in making a selection.
Every Watch is warranted by special cer
tijicate from the American Watch Co.
We send them by express to any address.
Allow the purchaser to open the package and
examine the Watch before paying, and if af
terwards it does nor, prove satisfactory, it can
be exchanged or the money will be cheerfully
refunded.

From the New York Evangelist, May 28, 1868.
We had occasion some time since to refer

from a distance can order any grade of these
Watches by express, at greatly reduced prices.
From the N. Y. Independent, June 16, 1868.
We invite special attention to the adver
tisement ot Messrs. Howard A Co., who offer
the celebrated Waltham Watches not only at
the lowest prices, but will send them to any

gray hair it toon rettamed lo itt original color
the glott and frtthuett of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of

ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleteriou'
