They found Eliza working as a

From tho Delawarlan.
Do Amorlcan boys loom trades
any more f Ono would suppose not,
if tbe tntiltitudo purposeless, aimless
young men out of employment is
any indication. There was a time
when tho master mechanic had a
house filled with hearty yonng Ap
prentices, and ivhen bis journeymen
wont from under his roof to set np
in lifo for themselvos. To men in
middle lifo, the recollections of those
far oft" fifties when tho ni'.Mer, his
men and boys, formed a strong pro
ductive industrial group, scorns like
tho memory of a primitive ago. Sons
of rich and educated men, did not
I Link it beneath them to swing tho
broad-axo in tho ship-yard, or the
slodgo hammer nt the anvil. Or
they went to sea bofore the mast,
and climbed tho quarter dock from
the forecastle.
In forgo families of boys ono
would bo sent to the college one
might possibly go into mercantile
pursuits, and others would choso
thir trades after nTiny anxious but
cheery family councils. Now-a-davs
the young lads shrink from tho irk
some coutino of tho mechanic's shop.
If they cannot go to c'llcgo and so
while away thoir youth, tlioy inunt
"go into a store" anything but
work. Wo do not belittle tho voca
tion of a clerk or salesman when wo
say that to he in either one or tho oth
er of theso callings appears to most
young men tho moHt comfortable
thing. Of all tho pursuit a which
men follow, thi.1 seems to roipiiro tho
least preparation. At any rati the
men who ure willing to inal;o them
selves generally useful, inoro natur
ally turn to tho shop of the retail
dealer than to nny other source of
employment. They like lo wear
good clothes and keep their hands
soft and while. If they cannot stand
behind tho counter or desk, or so
euro political intluenco Hiillkieut to
push them into nu oflica f somo sort,
they drift aimlessly about, looking
for tho employment that never
comes.
l'ulso ideas of living and extrava
gant notions, nro respoimiblo for a
great deal of this hopeless misery,
l'ouug lads are brought np to con
oiilor manual labor degrading, and
fond, foolish parents sometimes
seom to prefer that their children
should go out into tho world help
less, rathor than that they should
learn atradu. But tho selfishness of
mechanics and the outrageous ty
ranny of their unions, have n hand
in bringing to pass tho present state!
of thiugs. About tweuty-livo years
ago there began a scries of experi- j
meals in trades unions which hits ro-'

Miuii'n uiNiiHuuiiHiy. j. ue uiues were
good, work pleuty and wages fair,
l'o maintain u monopoly of tlioso, as
sociations of mechanics began to
limit tho numlxir of apprentices
which might bo employed in each
shop, factory or coinpauy of work
men.
Men who Intd sons to equip for
life, actually voted to shut tho trado
against their own offhPring. The
onseqnenco was; that tho supply of
skilled workmen did not keep up
with the expansion of the country,
and with the Witimnto command
Emplovera were obliged to send
abroad for workmon, and it caino to
pass that grown men from foreign
parts took tbe places in American
workshops for which American boys
should have been educated. Whore
now are those neglocted, cheated
boys t Some of them are in jails
and almshouses. Some will be
found lontging on the benches iu
tho publio parks, vainly waiting for
something to turn np. Others will
ing enough, are advertising for situa
tions whero thoy can uiako thorn
solves generally useful.
Th Ostrch.
The cry of tho ostrich so greatly
resembles that of a liou as occasion
ally to doooivo ovon tho natives. It
is usually hoard early iu the morn
ing, and at times also at night. Tho
strength of tho ostrich is enormous.
A ainglo blow from its gigautio feet
(it always strikes forward) is suf
ficient to prostrato, nay, to kill many
beasts of prey, snob as the hyona,
the wild bog, tho jackal, and others
Tho ostrich is excoodingly swift of
foot, under ordinary circumstances
outrunning the flootost horse, "What
time oho lifteth np herself on high,
she soornoth the horse and his
rider." On special occasions, and
for a short distance, its , spood is
truly marVolous, nrobaby not less
than a ruilo and a lialf a minute. Its
feet appear hardly to touch the
ground, and the length between eaoh
stride ia not unfreqitently twelve to
fonrtoon feet. Indeed, if we are to
credit the testimony of Mr. Adami
son, who says ho witnossed tho fro'
in Sonogal, such ia the rapidity aud
muscular power ol tho ostiloh, that
even with two men mounted on his
back bo will outstrip an English
horao in speed. Tho ostrich, more
over, ia Jong-winded, if I may use
the expression, so that it is a work
of tittle to exhanst the bird. Tbe
food of the ostrich, in its wild state,
consists of seeds, tops and various
shrubs and other plants, bat it it
often dltntinlt to eonoeivo how it an
manags to live at all, for one not no-

fall Plowing.
rCouiilry Ornilrmea.
This Mibjcct Las often born trea
ted, with various opinions of tho
effect of moving tho soil in the fall,
mibjectin g it tn tho acting of
frost beforo seeding with spring
crop. But tho dirTorenco of opin
ion has arisen from tho differ
ence of conditions. Tho great ad
vantage of fall plowing arises from
tho pulverizing ofTcct of frost i but
if tho soil is light or sandy, it needs
compacting rather than iMilveii.ing
mid is thus In Iter plowed in spring.
In discussing tho different modes
of cultivating land, farmers should
always take into consideration all
tho circumstances, ami tho writers
on agricultural practice should stale
all tho points likely to affect the re
sult. This is sh often neglected as
to lead to disappointment when tho
prnctieo is adopted under new con
ditions. Tho reasons for fall plow
ing have been often misunderstood,
and tho praetieo misapplied. Bear
ing in mind that it is intended to
assist in tho 'pulverization of stiff
soils by tho action of frost, it follows
that the soil should not ho wet or
'saturated ith water through tho
j winter, for this world prevent tun
expected notion of frost If tho land
! in heavy and lies, nearly level, it
should bo plowed iuto ridges by
jturning two furrows together, which
, leaves ipiito a dead furrow between
ieuch two ridges to rcoeivo tho water
'and tlnxo ridges will bo penetrated
by the frcit, and so pulverized, that
I when tho riil;;) is split by a lnrjjo,
luouldlioiird plow in spring, l.iyirg
lit nver nieli wiiv in tli.i ftirt-.m- H-n
'''-"d will ho level and work up inel-
low for a ccod bed
When land, with a Considerable
proportion of clay, lies sulliciently
r.loping for tho surfaco water to run
ofl', it should bo plowed so ns to
leave tho surface rouh, ficililat'ng
tho action of frost. It in quito safe
also to plo such land deeper iu fall
than in spring, because tho soil,
throws up from below tho ordinary
furrow, will bo so thorougholy aera
ted, broken down by tho frost, and
its nnfavorabli) acids neutralized, as
to adapt it to tho iinmo.luta uuo of
plant growth.
Homo yoars sinco Wo plowed in
tho fall a field of heavy clay, ton
inches deep, which had previously
been plowod loss than nis inches,
turning up four inches of soil never
beforo dihturbed. Somo good far
mers, who saw this fu l l after being
thus plowod, doubted if it would re
produce its seed. I'nheoding these
nn favorable prophecies, wo drilled
in, early iu April, '2 1-2 bttHhcls of
eats p .-r acre, and harvo.stod much
more than wo expected a crop of
1.1 bushels per aero of heavy oaU
ou this Hull of ton acres. As an e-
pei imiint, wo plowod a small pieco
ndjoiiiing tho abovo to tho same
depth, in spring. in 1 tho yield of
oats was only 1,1 bushels pur aero.
The difference could only bo attri
buted to tho effect of froHt and air
during tho previous winter. No im
plement, hand or borne, C'n so thor
ongholy disintegrate a stiff soil as
frost. It becomes so thoroughly
broken down or slaked by tho ficut,
that tho Cncst rootlets of grain can
penetrate and ram if v tho coil ina
completo net work, thus availing of
all its plant food I know an in
stance whero a stiff clay, thrown out
in excavating a well 15 feet telo
tbe surface, grew vegetables luxnri
antly aftor two winters' eiponure.
I Would not generally advise deep
cuing the soil more than one or two
inches at each plowing. Hut if thou't
advisable to go deeper in a very stiff
soil I would recommend the uso of
two plows in tho amo furrow, the
ono following the other. Tho nrxt
plow mav run six inches and the se
cond four inches deep. Tho second
plow should bo a deep tiller, one
aize smaller than tho Gist, so as not
to bind iu the furrow. The sicoud
furrow slice will bo laid ou the top
of the tlrst, and will bo iu the right
condition to bo acted on by front.
