AGRICULTURAL, Principles of Parmuigi Praise large farms, cultivate small ones," wrote ai ancient author, whose many words of wisdom are as applicable to the present time and all times as are the wise proverbs of Solomon. Humau nature and the application of labor to profitable ends uv i I ifto have not changed since Abel became a anep 1 hrA I1in a farmer. hat was then wise and true and expedient for the general good is wise and true to day. There must be diversity of crops, and labor must be made the most effective. In the cultivation of the soil we have to deal with a material that only contains a portion of the nutriment required for the growth of plants, and does not contain even a sufficient quantity of the elements existing in it, but is to a large extent a mere vehicle for the conveyance of plajja food to the crops.

It should be very clear that the greater ability to convey nutrimjnt to crops that we may give to the soil in the foam ot manure anil leruiizers anu uy means of tillage, the more value we can get from the soil in those elements which it does contain. And, moreover, the soil supplies 1 the crops these elements of plant food which exist in it, all the more abundantly it is provided with those other necessary elements which it does not naturally contain in abundance. For we know with absolute certainty that if one necessary element phosphoric acid, nitrogen, or potash is deficient, tJie sou can uo noiuiiig ior me growth of plants, however much ot the other elements it may possess. Tnis is a fundamental principle of agriculture and another is that good and proti table culture of the land consists in getting all we possibly can from the soil through its abundant elements. It is something like having a twenty horse power engine and furnishing team enough to get all the power out of it.

If one should have such an ensine aud supplied steam only sufficient for ten horse power he is losing half the value of his engine. If he uses too little fuel under the boilers he may be saving something in that way, but he loses many times as much in the loss of Txwer and work of the machinery. In precisely the same manner, if the land is not well tilled, or is not sufficiently fertilized or is suffered to crow weeds, we lose just so much of its value and also of the labor necessary to prepare it for crops. Naturally the land may be able to produce five bushels of wheat, ten bushels of corn, or fifty pounds of cotton per acre along with the common weeds which share the fertility of the land with the crops. If the weeds are prevented from growing by good cultivation these vifllda mav be doubted, and at the small ex pt nse of the labor involved in the destruction of the weeds.

There is some profit made then. But if manure or fertilizers are supplied the yield may be again doubled at the cost of the value of the fertilizer. Here is more profit. And these profits are in proportion up to a certain point not yet known or reached perhaps, with the amount and character of the tillage and the quantity aud effect of the fertilizers used. Of course a large farm requires a large expenditure of capital to supply the labor and lertuizeia that are required ior maximum crops.

As a rule, the capital ot American farmers who own their land is inadequate ta provide the lalwr and fertilizers reouired lor a full yield, the farm itselt may repre sent or SIU.UUO, which should eatu interest at, at least, 5 per cent. But Jivh 1 farm, let us say, comes in compotion with another a new homestead, which costs practically nothing. This competition Sc just now a prevalent source ot complain; among farmers whoae land represents thousands dollars, ana many tlnuk this cjinintit ruinous to them. i And so it is as long as the two woiked on the same plan, tint is as much as the bare soil will yield abundant weeds, poor culture, an' ample manure or fertilizers. But if tne ern farmer cultivates his land on an ettie.

method, proportionate to its value wfcf should be tha measure of its productive po he will easily double its yield and produce such a profit as will compensate for the money invested in the land, or hem treble the yield, and do still better. It futile to fear that if he should do this he will be unable to dispose of his produce at a fair1. rate. It might result in that way if everyl jarmer snouui at once double or treble his product. But so few will do this that the markets of the world will never be affected by the increase of yield of those who do it, and if it should, the increased income from the better cultivated land will leave a large margin for the farmer.

Let us, in this connection, consider the dairy interest as it has stood for years past ana now stands, years ago oleo margarine was first introduced, and the writer was the first to call attention to the threatened danger of its nefarious competition with the dairy business. When it was first exhibited at the fair of the American Institute in the city of Xew York he warned dairymen in these columns of the Times of the competition which they might expect. andthen pointed out that it was the poor dairymen who would Buffer, and not those whose product secured a market by its fine quality, and that it would be necessary to improve their cows and their methods of practice to meet the inevitable emergency, How is it now after all these years The new product baa become firmly established. But fine butter and cheese have not suffered. It is the ten cent butter that meets the com petition of the oleomargarine, whit is "eally a more acceptable article ot food than the trash furnished by the poor ui.iry.nan.

The best dairymen are better off now than they were then, for while the market value of their products is maintained fully, they have doubled the productive ability of their dwb and have reduced the ccst of keeping them more than one half. The dairymen were forced to this by the competition, and with their half or three quarter bred or still higher graded Jersey cows, and by means of the silo, they have become the most prosperous class of farmers in the world. And they afford a most conspicuous example for all other farmers to follow in their steps. No good farmer should fear competition. It ia said to be, and most truly so, the life of trade.

Every man needs a stimulus to bring out of him his latent force of intellect, and even of his muscular exertion. And if he will only exert himself in the right direction the increased efforts aroused by competition will be successlul in meeting and overcoming it. We need to meet, it is sad to say, the competition of the poor East Indian and the ignorant peasant of Russia, to force us to cultivate our farms in a better manner. ,1 The example of the British and the French farmers, whom we help to feed, and who produce thirty or twenty eight bushels of wheat per acre on the average of the whole crops, while we produce only eleven bushels, was not enough to J.ut us on our mettle, but when the half starved East Indian interferes with our business we must indeed bestir ourselves. And how easily we can meet this poor competitor if we will.

True he is ret ting railroads, but we have more than he has the Suez Canal to bring him nearer his market, but we are still nearer. We have equal physical strength, far better implements and machines, equally fertile soil. infinitely greater intelligence. All we need is to cultivate our land better than he does. to cultivate less land, maybe, but to increase the product three fold, and then we need fear no competition from any part of the wide world.

Few persons know how rapidly grass will grow at the opening of Spring. A few warm days with warm showers force the grass amazingly. Tho past Jek some cheese cloths spread on a grans plot to air and dry were caught in a shower and lay overnight to dry again. The next day the young grass had forced its way through the meshes of the cloth and stood 1 inches aliove it. This ia no unusual growth.

Those who have clean, grassy lawns which are cut every week with the lawn mowers have no doubt noticed the rapidity of the growth in warm, showery weather. It is a valuable lesson as regards the possible irrigation of grass lands. The Italian irrigation have yielded more 1 nwth of grass in thv ing him than those But to tice and im' it stiU rich S' A I I I Summer months, being cut every two weeks. Eighty tons per acre of grass has thus beon taken from these most luxuriant rye grass meadows each season. And how many farmers neglect opportunities of thus using water iroin springs and streams that Ujw to waste year after year How many river bottom lands might not be watered with equal advantage by means of a dum with flood gates that need not coat SoO, and that by tabor Ol llie uwnoi, niiu me usuni imi, Just Q0W ig a Ume fur observ labor ol ine owner, wiin me usual neip how easily this might be done as the swollen streams freighted with a vast amount of fertility by loudly inviting notice and complaining ot the neglect.

HoraceGreeley left no richer legacy behind when he so pitifully passed away his little book What I Know of farming. It was the fashion to ridicule essays, the fruit of a great brain, no doubt unsifted by practical experience. his remarks an irrigation, then thought be a wild dream, do not nearly touch the border of present development of this prac in the West, and his genius saw how much of this might be done in the East, where it was supposed to be a waste of time wholly unnecessary. But let any fanner who has a copious snrine on elevated ground, or a stream pass through level bottoms, take notice how easily the water may be flowed over a grass field, or backod up and retained by a small embankment aud made to produce grass under our warm sunshine as luxuriantly as does under the clear blue sunny Italian skies, or even under the weeping English climate, where water meadows, made longer back thau the oldest inhabitant remembers vield such enormous crops of hay anc pasture as to give these lands a valuo of or more per asre. SLAIX.

Scene In a HMIle In a Rectal Ureal War. Boom boom went the guns through the fog, like muffled drums. Presently we came up with our brigade. The troops wore deploying in columns of double companies, with a rifle company in front of each battalion, behind a ridge which was called Radishova, from the little village of that name nestling in a pocket of a valley of which this crest formed a flank. The order was given to advance, for the fog now lifted, and the Russian troops slowly moved over the crest.

Then I knew for the first time that our artillery was on that ridge, for several guns suddenly opened fire, covering the infantry as they threaded their way through the batteries and lay down in the scrub of the descent beyond. The Turks from the Plevna batteries low tried to find them out bv dropping shells on the slopes. As the general, following the infantry, rode through the village a shell skimmed the crest aud burst a tew yards Iroin us. So near was it and no casualty occurring. thought that I wculd pick up a segment as a souvenir, and dismounted.

When took the piece in my band the metal was so hot that blo'JfinK upon it wag of no avail was compelled to drop it in a puuuie to cot. Qu seeing me do this Schahofskoy lluiifrlied and Muttered something about the eccentricities ot tne iiusa, aim wim me members of his cr me crest, The irroun was studded with stacks of tttlki behind the cover of were ed Cossacks and their horses. in our front were small and between them our artil jond lay the valley of the Yid and but I could take in further ur position, whiz 1 whiz came bursting in front and rear of us. i hnj.torn large furrows in the Vie general gave 1 he order to dis A to seek cover. The horses were thicket on the reverse slope.

With inc eve And ears cocked he seemed 'i be Usteniiif to the music of the shells as the segmeiu'whistled round his head. Ah what a voden horso that animal looked at i Zment. I tried to mount him, but ie swivelled round. Minus the spots horse reminded me of the tlee Uee 1 I my boyhood.

For the moment I sincere. wished he had been one one of those ou wheels I might have got him along some now, The Turks seemed to have told oT two guns on purpose to annoy us on that ridge, The sheds appeared to blaze wherever I turned the air was alive with the sharp blast of their report. I could see the faces of stuff from their cover, grimly smiling at my dilemma, rorbes shouted: "Leave your norse and come away. I could never make out why I did not take his advice. But I stuck to my animal, setting my teeth with determination.

1 patted the pony neck turned his tail to the fire, then softly rub bed his nose, tried to lead him, and to my surprise lie slowly came away. Un approaching one of the stacks on the village side I iounu two Cossacks anxiously watohm my advent from the corn cover. Before had fairly reached my destination one of the men rushed forward and embranced me so great was his delight at my arriving saie and sound atter my exciting expert ences. By this time the guns began to cease their thunder and an ominous silence reigned. I left my horse in charge of one of the soldiers and stole back over the ridge, where I rejoined the staff.

This is what I saw I jotted the details down at the time on the side of one of my notebooks before us opened a wide valley, skirted on the right by the uravitza ridge, on the highest point of which stood a large redoubt. Below this ridge, and cross ing the valley, were earthworks and re doubts crowning the waves of undulating country stretching toward the town of Plevna, which was so soon to become famous. The red tiles of some of the houses and the mental pointed minarets of its mosques were ongntened with the sun, which was now quickly dispersing the overhanging mists, revealing the formidable works of the Moslems which we were preparing to attack which were only to be captured after 142 days of terrible fighting and after 40,000 Kussian and 30,001) lurkish soldiers had een slaughtered. MVACIOI'S MONMTEK. An Elephant That Could (sunt Twenty and Would Miami No Deduction.

Authur Clay sends to the London Spec tator the following instance of the sagacity of the elephant. It was told me, he says, by Mr. Quay at the time a non commissioned officer in the First battalion of the Sixtieth rifles, but now one of her majesty's yeomen of the guard. In 1853 his regiment was marching fiom Peshawur to Kopulvie. and was accompanied by a train of elephants.

it was the duty ot the mahout in charge of each elephant to prepare twenty chupatties, or flat oakes made of coarse flour, for hie chnrge. When the twenty chupatties wera ready thev wre placed before the elephant. who during the process of counting nover attempted to touch one of them uutil tha full number was completed. On theoccasiou related by Mr. Quay one of the elephants had seized the opportunity of his mahout's attention being distracted for a moment to steal and swallow one of the chupatties.

When the mahout, having finished the preparation, began to count them out he of course discovered the theft and presented his charge with nineteen in place of the usual number. The elephant instantly appreciated the fact of there being one less than lie had a right to expect, and refused ta touch them, expressing his indignation by loud trumpetings. This brought the conductor of the elephant line (with whom Mr. Quay hail been in conversation) on the scene. Having heard the explanation of the mahout, the conductor decided that the mahout was in fault for not keeping a better lookout, and ordered him to provide the twentieth cake at his own cost.

When this was prepared and added to the pile the elephant at once accepted and ate them It is said that the School of Mounted In ry at Winnipeg will be closed. TRAMPED 5,000 MILKS. Factor Campbell's Celebrated Walk on Hnow.Hbura. Following are notes of a remarkable journey made by Chief Factor Robert Campbell, of lhe Hudson Bay Company, in 1852 53. from the Yukon territories, Alaska, to England.

It may be mentioned that prior to this journey Mr. Campbell had discovered the source of the Yukon River and ex plot ed it downward towards and be yond the Russian boundary, establishing, as circumstance permitted, trading posts for the Hudson cay Company at various point among tne numerous true 01 inuiaus ui habitiuu the country, wno. up to tnat naie, had never seen a white man, nor indeed any of the articles of civilized usage. This work, on account of the inaccessibility to such supplies in such remote and unknown regions, took years ol hardship ana unremiiuug labor to complete. It is unnecessary here to refer to the unexpected events which led to the lournev briefly sketched below.

Mr. Campbell left Fort Selkirk, or rather a hundred mtles below it, at the confluence of the White River, ueir the Alaskan bound ary, on the (1th of September, 1S.V2, accompanied by a French half breed and an Indian boy, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a blanket each, and guns for their defense and provision, in a small birch canoe in which they ascended the Pelley (Yukon) River to near its source. Thence they carried their canoe across the Rocky Mountains, a distance of about a hundred miles, to Frances Lake, the headwaters of Ihe Aux Liaids, the western branch of the Mackenzie River, which is very rapid and dangerous to navigate even in a large craft. Mr. Campbell and his men descended this river in their frail craft in safety, and on the 11th of October arrived at tort rlalkett, the first H.

B. Company post on the west branch. Continuing onward they passed Fort des Liards on the 10th, and on the 21st. amid drifting ice, they reached Fort Simp son, the depot of the ruver liis trict. and which, by the route pursued, iB about twelve hundred miles from their start ma point.

Mr. Campbell remained at Fort Simpson, enioving the hospitality of Mr. Andersen, the gentleman in charge, tin tne river was irozen over, aim wieii, ou mo HMtcm bcr. with three men, a train of dogs haul inn the Northern mail, which annually leaves at that season, and their blankets, provisions and the necessary equipments for winter traveling, Mr. Campbell left the fort on his snow shoes.

He and his party arrived at Big Island Fishery, Great Lake, on Dec. 8, and resumed their way two days later with fresh meat and dogs, and a Mr. Clarke, going to Athabasca. ihe weather was very com witn piercing winds while crossing Slave Lake. At this season the sun barely shows himself above the trees, when he disappears again like a ball of fire.

Fort Resolution was reached on Dec. 16, whence, with a fresh supply of men and dogs and a supply of provisions, Mr. Campbell Btarted on the 18th for Fort Chipweyan, Lake Athabasca, Where ne ar rived on Christmas day. 1 lie warm recep tion accorded by Mr. Boucher, who was in charge, a comfortable room, a blazing fire and Christmas fare soon made the weary travellers forget the fatigues and hardships they had undergone.

Christinas was soent there, and then on January 4, 1853, re equipped in the usual manner with fresh guides, dogs and provisions, Mr. campbeii started for Isle a la Crosse, which, owing to the bad state of the snow for dogs, he did not reach till the 18th. Thence with Archbishop, then Bishop Tache, of Red River, as his fellow traveller he departed on the 21st and made Carlton House, Saskatchewan Kiver, on the zutn. This place may be called the General Post Office or distributing point of the territory, and it ia here that the mails meet from dif ferent points in January and being ex changed, Uii mail carriers return to their respective inter quarters and await tne opening of navigation. Carlton House was left on Feb.

1, but the unfavorable condi tion of the snow on the open plains so disabled the dogs that the party did not get to Fort Pelle, Swan River, till the 1 1th, whence they set out next day, with fresh hands and dogs, reaching Fort Ellice on the 16th, and Fort Garry, Red River settlement, on the 23rd. Here Mr. Campoell remained for some days enjoying the luxuries of civilized life and society and on the 27th, for the first time for nearly a quarter of a century, heard a sermon. On the 1st of March, provided in the usual manner, he resumed his ay, and after stopping for twodaysat Pembina in passing struck Crow Wing, the first village on the Mississippi. From this point the men and dogs retraced their steps to Red River, and here Mr.

Campbell laid aside his snow shoes and terminated his snow shoe travelling, having walked, since he left Fort Simpson on Sept. 30, a distance of about three thousand miles, the longeBt snow shoe tramp on recoid. The late Thomas Simpson performed the journey from Athabasca to Red River on his return from the Arctic expedition of 1839, and again in 1851 the intrepid Dr. Kae, one of the best and hardiest snow Bhoers that ever tied a shoe on, walked to Crow Wing from Athabasca, where he had arrived by water from the Arctic regions. Mr.

Campbell was delayed two days at Crow Wing waiting for teame, by which he went to St. Paul, the fast growing capital of Minnesota thence he proceeded by stage, steamer and rail, via Rockford (at that time the end of the railroad), Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Buffalo, Syracuse, 4c, to Montreal, where he arrived April 1, thence to New York and England, reaching London April 18. The whole computed distance from Fort Selkirk to London by the route followed is about 0,687 miles. Of this the first 1,200 miles, less 100 miles walked across the Rocky Mountains, were done in a small canoe. From Fort Simpson to Crow Ving, about 3,000 miles, were covered on snow shoes.

Between Crow Wing and New York 475 miles were tagged, 90 miles travelled by steamboat and 1,716 by railway from New York to Liverpool 3,000 by steamer and from Liverpool to London ZOO miles by railway. In this journey Mr. Campbell encountered the mightiest rivers which drain the North American Continent on every side. Starting on the waters of the Pelle or wnicr. flows into Behring Straits, thence crossing to the Mackenzie River, which empties itself into the Arctiu Sea, then meeting the Nelson, which falls into Hudson Hay, then passing on to the Mississippi Mr.

Champion Two miners who have just returned from Grand Canyon report a most marvelous discovery. In the basin of the canyon, which was once a sand bed, nnd probably thousands of years ago a broad level plain, they came upon the perfect imprint of a human foot in the hard sand rock.

It was unmistakably a humau fool, for the toes, heel, and every portion were plainly outlined, the imprint being apparently made when the sand of which the rock is composed was in a plactic state. It measured 26 inches in length and nearly 12 in width. While they were puzzling over this curiosity one of the mule drivers found several others, all the same size of the first.
