WIT AND HUMOR.
Biddy's Troubles.
"It'a tbni for mc, Katy, that I never seed
the like of this pcoplo "afore. It's a sorry
time I've t?en having siwc cominp to this
house, twelve months agone this week
Thursday. Ycr honor knew, that my fourth
cousin. Ann Macnrtliy, recommended mc to
Mrs. W inder, and tolil the lady that I knew
about genteel housework nnd tho likes ;
while, nt the same time. I had niver seed
inter an American lady's kitchen, fo slio
engaged me, nnd my heart jist ready to
burst with grief for the story that Ann had
told for Mr. Whaler was a swate spoken
lady and never looked cross-like in her life;
that 1 know her by her smooth kind face.
Well : jest the fir.it thin,'! site told mc to do
after I had dressed the children, w as to drcs
the ducks for dinner. I stood looking at
the lady for a couple of minutes, before I
could make out any meaning at all to her
word j. Thin 1 went searching after clothes
tor the ducks; and such n time as I had to
be sure. High and low I went, till nt Inst
my mistress axed mc for what 1 was looking;
and I told her the clothes for the ducks to
be sure. Oclt, how she screamed nnd laughed
tiil my face was as rid as the sun wid shame,
and she showed mc in her kind swate way
w hat her meaning was. Thin she told me
how to air the beds, and it was a day for
mc, indude, when I could go up to the
chamber alone, niyl clare v.p the rooms.
One day Mrs. Whalrriid to me. "Kiddy4
an' vc may give the "Baby au airin. if yees
will."
"What should' I do nnd it's trn what I
:.m saying this blessed minute but go up
ftairs'wid tho child, nnd shake it. nnd then
howld it out of the winder. Such a scream
ing and kicking as the baby gave but I
hild on the harder. Ivcry body thin in the
Mratc looked up nt me; nt last mistress
ramc tip to sec w hat for was so much noise ;
I am tlirying to air the baby." I s-aid, "but
it kicks mid scramcs dridfully."
"There was company down below, nnd
whin Mrs. Whaler told them what I had
been nfther doing, I thought they would
scare the folks in tho stride with scraming.
"And then I was told I must do up Mr.
Whaler's shirts one day, when tny mistress
w as out shopping. She told me repeatedly
to do thim up nice for master was goin'
away ; so I takes the shirts and did them all
up in some paper that 1 was nfther bringing
from the ould country wid me, and tied
some nice pink ribbon about the bundle.
"Where aro tho shirts, Kiddy," axed Mrs.
Whaler when she come home.
''I have been doin' them up in a quair nice
way," I said, bringing her the bundle.
"Will you iver be done wid your granc
ncss ?" she axed mc with a loud serame.
'I can't for the life of me, be tclliu'w hat
their talking manes. At home, wc call the
likes of this fine work, starching and a deal
of it I have done to. Och ! and may the
Messed Virgin pity me, for 1 ncvci'il be
cured of my graueness 1"
A Kci.ly Judge. The judge of a West
ern court recently decided a point adverse
to a certain lawyer. The lawyer was stub
born unci, iusisted that the court was
wrong.
'I tell you that I am right," yelled the
court, "with flashing eyes.
"I tell you that you arc not !" retorted the
couusel.
"Crier," yelled the judge, adjonrn the
court for ten minutes," and then pitched
into tho counsel, and after a lively little
fight, placed him hort de eomlxit, after which
business was again resumed ; but it was not
long bclorc another misunderstanding arose.
"Crier," veiled the court, "wc will adjourn
this time for twenty minutes," and he was
about to take off his coat, when the couusel
said :
"Never mind judge, kef p on your coat
the p'int is yielded niy thumb's out of jint
and 1 vc sprained my suoulder.
"Colonel Skinner, of Texas," who was
(.'line it on a "hi'di figure" before the right
kind of audiences, thus settled a long-dispu
ted fact in history and "elevated"' himself:
"Teller citizens," said he, with a very know
ing look, "I was at the battle w here lccuiti
sey was killed 1 was ! I commanded a
regiment there 1 did ! I'm not gwine to
say who r2 kill Tecumsoy I won't! Hut
this much I will say : Tecumsey was killed
by one of my' pistols ; anjl, gentlemen, I
leave it to your knowledge of human nature
if a man would be very apt to lend cut his
pi.-tt.il mi an occasion of that sort."
A crowd assembled round a man who
announced that on the payment of a penny
from each person, he would show them a
cherry -colored cat which he had in a bag.
The money w as soon collected, and the man,
ordering the crowd to fall back ho as togive
room for the exhibition, opened his bag.
when out sprang a large black cat. Off
bolted the man, shouting as he went, "There
arc black cherries as well as red !"
Time fou all Tiiinos. "Mrs. K," said a
neighbor who stepped into the house of the
former, just as she was in the uet of seating
la rself at the table. "Have you heard of
that dreadful accident '"
"Why no what is it
'Mr. K. has fallen from his wagon and is
killed."
"Is it possible ? well ju-t wait t'.ll I have
finished my dinner und thin you'll hear
ry"ini
"Mammy, where's the man going to sleep ?"
ticked a girl of fjfirtu of her mother, who
had just promised a traveler a night's lodg
ing iu their out-of-the-way hut. "I'll have
to put him in with you and Jack ami Kate
and Sue and Bet, I suppose, (was the reply)
anil if it's too crowded, one of you must
turn in with we mid dud and Dick and the
twins."
Ouacf. aftkr Mt.iT. One duv at the
bible of Dr. Pearsc, (Dean of Ely,) just as
the clutti was lieing romoved. the sublet t ot
discourse happened to be that of an extraor
dinary mortality among the lawyers. "We
tiavn lint," said a gentleman, "not less than
!-ix eminent barristers iu as many months."
The Dean, who was quite deaf, rose as his
friend finished his romarks and gave the
company grace, "For tliit and every other
7ry, the Lord's name be praised !'' The
effect was irresistable.
"I have brought you this bill until I am
fairly sick and tired of it," said a collector
to a creditor, njiou whom he had called at
least forty times. "You nre, eh t" coolly
njoined the creditor. "Yes, I am," was the
n sonsc. "Well, then, you had better not

Advantages of I'armuig near home Vineland
Remarks ujtcn Marl SoiV, its great Fertility
T!ic Cause of 1'irlility Amount of Crops
Vroditeid rraetieal Evidence.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile
trncts. in an almost level position, and suitable con
dition lor pleasant farming thnt we know of this side
of the western prairie. W'e found some of the oldest
farms apparently just as profitably productive as
wl;cn Gtst cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years
ago.
Tho geologist would soon discover the cause of this
continued fortitity. Tho wholo country is a marine
deposit, and all tlirougn tno sou wo lounn evidence
of calcareous sub.-tances, generally in tho form of
indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, nf tho tertinjy formation ; and
this marly substance is scattered all through the soil,
in a very comminuted form, and in tho exact condi
tion most easily as-imilatod by such plants us the
farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, in all its forme, hm been nsed to fertilize
crops in Fngland, from the time it was occupied by
t ho Homans ; nnd in t ranee and termany a marl bed
is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can
bo dug nnd carted and spread over tho field. How
much more vnluitble, thon, it must be, when found
already mixed through the soil, wbcro new particles
will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to
the owner's uso every time he stirs tho earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of tho cause, they
will not bo excited with wonder nt seeing indubitable
evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa-
tons, having tha same general characteristics or at
least appearances, is entirely unremunerativc, except
ts productiveness is promoted by arunciai lertili-
tatton.
A tew words about the duality and value of this
land lor cultivation, ui nuicu u nave eouiu strung
prooi.
Our first visit was to Willinm D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Hloueester county, who purchased some
eight miles norm ol Miiiviuc, about Inree years ago,
for tho purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
ur tho timber into lumber, to send off bv the new
railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which
ho built a branch track a mile and a half long, lie
also furnished sixteen miles of the road with tie, and
has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his
main olnect was to open a farm, having become con
vinced thnt the soil was valuable for cultivation. In
this ho has not been disappointed, as some of his
crops prove, for instance, last year, tbesecondtune
of cropping, 3oti bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth
60 cents a bushel in the field. This year, sevenacres,
without manure, produced 358 bushels of outs. In
ono field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among
the roots, and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes were
dug and whoat sown, and yielded 19 bushels: and
(lie stubldo turned under and sown to buekaheut.
which yielded 33 bushels ; and then the ground was
sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop
2) tons per aero.
tno tertiutcre appuod to tnese crops were, first,
ashes from clearings ; second, 22i pounds of super
nhosphato of lime : third, 200 pounds Peruvian
guano; then 60 bushels of slaked limo has been
spread upon tho clover aiuco it was mowed, and
turned in tor wncat.
Mr. Wilson's growing crop, and the wheat stubble
of the present season, all indicate bis laud as produc
At Mury Burrow's, an old stylo Jersey woman
fanner, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were
so particularly struck with the fino appearance of a
field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of the hired
man how it was produced. We found that the land
had been the year but one before in wheat, sown with
clover, and this cut one season, and levPt spring plowed
once, with ono "ior old nag," and pluuud with
Corn.
i es, but you manured hum, wo suppose 7 ' we
said interrogatively, and got this reply :
am, you see, we com. In t a done that ; cansewe
hadn't but forty oue-hosre loads altogether, for .1
acres, and wo wanted tho most on t for the struck.'
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cu
cumbers, melons, Ac, and a very productive patch
of Lima beans, crown for marketing. px we were
sntUlicl that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed the corn, because tho "truck
patch had not been clovercd, and hud bean in cut
tivution long enough to obliterate all signs of the
lurest .
Our next visit was to tho farm of Andrew Fharp.
fivo miles north of Millville, from half to a mile eact
of the railroad, and just about in the centre of Vine-
land. Mr. Mnup commenced work here to Decem
ber, ISM, upon 270 acres. In less than three years,
bo has got 21 acres cleared and in crops this season,
all well enclosed und divided into several fields, with
cedar rail or pole fence : lias built a two storv dwell
inc. about 3o by 40 fuel, and a smaller house for farm
laborers, and a stuble und granary and some other
out-buildings.
Considerable port or tho land was cleared for the
plow at &!) an acre, and on some of it the first crop
was buckwheat, limed with AO bushels in powder per
acre. This crop may be put in Joly 4th, to2titb,and
yields 2U to oo bushels per acre, harvested in ftovein
her; when tho land being towed with 160 lbs. of
Peruvian guano and seeded with ryo, yielded 12 to
16 bushels per aero and 10 worth of straw. Tberve
stubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of
oaK sprouts, ami arcsicu again wttnguauoaud seeded
to wheat, gave IS nr it) bredreui. The Crop which he
was tnresning wnno we were mere promised more
of a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy
We went over tho atubblo and found the clover
a'ld timothy, from seed sowed lastspriui;. on the wheat
without burrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it
upon any old cultivated larin, and with a little work
done in tho winter to clear oft some roots and rotten
slum), und setting stakes to mark permanent ones
ho will bo able to cut the crop the next year with s
mowing machino, and wo will guarantee two tons per
acre, if he will give the overplus if it overrun the
estimate.

Thd Potato Diseaao.
From nn elabornte article In a recent num
ber of tlie Journal of tbc West of Knglhnd
noriuiy, on tnr 1'otato culture, Irom the pen
of Dr. Lnng, in uliich many curious nnd iiu-
ponnui, iruuis nre aiscussed, the tollovnnie
tnny be re gnrtlwl m conclusion, deduced from
liia troatJiu-nt of the whole subject :
1. The desirability of early planting in
ury, rirnn, Him wrn-prrparca grountt.
2. That white potatoes are least liable to
the disease, nnd therefore to be preferred to
Uir colored sorts.
8. That thf? oil in no caso nroJueea or
influeneen the disease.
4. That the disease is of a funsoid char

Fruit Culture.
Fruit culture is at present engaging the
attention of scientific as well asbuiiiiesg and
trading men. Its importance has increased
to an unparalleled extent during the last few
j cars, ow ing to the great improvement made
in varieties and culture, giving fruit and im
portance before unknown. A distinguished
author upon the subject makes the following
very truthful remarks : "Fine fruit is the
flower of commodities. It is the most perfect
union of the useful and the beautiful that
earth knows; trees full of soft foliage, blos
soms fresh with spring beauty ; and finally,
fruit, rich, bloom-dusted ; melting und lus
cioussuch arc the treasures of the orchard
and garden, temptingly offered to every land
holder in this bright nnd iiunny, though
temperate climnte." Its importance should
bo known and felt by every farmer, trades
man and mechanic wh possensea uu sere of
ground.
Our old orchards and the great majority
of our j ounng ones are at prem ntVitht r need
ling trees, or have engrafted in an imperft 1 1
and bungling manner, having only here and
there a limo that vetin valuable unit, l.n
prat'titig is by far the uiot speedy way to
obtain u permanent supply ol chnicp fruit?.
It follows, therefore, that complete system of
i ngrafting is of the utmost importance to all
fruit growers. By the aid of pouiologieal
societies und conventions all the defect of
the system have been corrected, so that, it
can at present be due only to gross ignorance
or fraudulent deception that any considerable
mistake can occur in regard to varieties. Ac.
Another error thai needs cofTection is the
neglect of popcr pruning. Our tngrafter
sajs: "The spring after the grafts are in
serted, remove all uiicngrafted limbg in tho
immediate vicinity of the grafts, giving them
a full supply of nap, also the invigorating
rays of the nun. Hut leave the lower limb
to Khadf the body of the tree andalword the
surplus Sitp, nnuii the following spring, when
the grafts will be sufficiently grown to form
a new top to the tree, when the remainder
may be removed. When the trees are largo
it is sometimes necessary to let a portiou ot
the miengralted limbs remain until the third
apring from engrafting. The wound oc
casioned by removing large limbs should be
covered with the following composition :
Tuke one quart of pure alcohol and desidvc
as much gum shellac in it as possible; keep
il in a tight bottle and use it with acomtnon
paint brush." J. U. P.

BbenriDg Buoep Properly.
B. II. Johnson publishes h's mode of
shearing sheep in the Ohio Kurnicr, and w o
extract therefrom the rules by which he
thinks those conducting this branch of l'a'ui
economy should In governed :
1. In shearing time, do not pen your sheep
more than half it day at a time. To do so
makes them weak, irritable, mid difficult, to
shear.
3. I thiuk the best, plan to bhear is on a
platform sixteen or eighteen inches high.-
1'he sheep should sit on the table and rest
its back und head on the left leg ; the left
leg is on the table, the right on the floor.
Commence cuttitg the wool at the brisket,
shearing along the belly, letting the wool
roll to the left, where it" will be out of the
way. When thia is done shear the flank ;
then commence at the point of the shoulder,
and run the shears to the right ear; shear
the neck to the left car, and the left aide s
fur as the backbone. Nov? change sides
with the sheep, standing the right foot on
the table, and finish tho neck. Kow shear
the right side, finishing on the right hind
leg. In this way the- fleece is kept whole ;
the Hhevp is turned but little, thus avoiding
struggling, tearing of the fleece and injury
to the auimal. Within the last eight years
I have shcard five thousand eheep without
having a fleece kicked to pieces, and seldom
cut a sheep. There is no excuse for cutting
a fat sheep. When badly cut they w ill al
ways kick, and then the shearer will pound
them with bin shears or list. The kinder
you treat a Flieep the better they behave.
Many wool growers want their sheep sheared
very close to the hide, but this is not well
for the sheep nor for the next growth of wool
When sheared close, the hot sun injures them

w riter iu the Homestead recommends that
seed barley should be steeped before sowing
in a solution of copperas or blue viterol, the

rolled in plaster enough to dry it. He says
it has the chVct of giving it a rapid start, and

New Ttocaipt for Making Soap. .
Fkifnu TtLEORJU-u : Wc lately tried a
new receipt for making soap new at least to
ns and as we have had such good auccc,
I thought it would be well to send you the
mndm operand for the llouseptcpcr's de
partment for your paper.
Pour four gallons of boiling water ove
six pounds of washing-soila and three pound
of unslacked lime ; stir the mixture well
and Kt it settle until it is perfectly clear. It
is better to let it net all night, as it takes
some time for the eodimeut to settle, WUvu
clear, drain the water otf, put six pounds of
fat with it, and boil for two hours, stirring
it most of the time. If it dow not stem thiu
enough, put another bucket OA the grounds,
stir and drain off, and add ia wanted to the
boiling mixture. Its thickness can be tried
by putting a little on pluto to cool ocpa
fionly. Stir in handful of salt jiiRt betir
taking eff the fire. Have a tub ready soaked
to preveut the soap from sticking, pour it.
