American Agriculturist. 1IICH GROUND FOR EARLY POTATOES. A rich, deep and dry soil is Dccessary to grow early potatoes. We say dry, be cause the seta must be planted early, and if wet and cold they will rot rather than grow. This rich, deep soil, that is dry early spring, will be all the moistcr dur ing the droughts of summer. If the potato tops cau be kept preen a week longer on one piece than another, it means doubling the crop of marketable tubers. A few days' extra growth means making the largo tubers larger, and bringing those that would have been fit only for pig feed to marketable size. The crop should have somo fermented itablo manure to give the plants an early send off. It will not cause early potatoes to rot, though it may with the Ute crop. Boston Cultivator. DEnORJilHQ I.EQALIZED. JIany writers against the practice, now becoming common, of cutting the horns off, ''point with pride" to the very fool ish decisions of the English courts on this point a few years since. Most, if not all, of those judgments have been re versed, and now tho National Federation of Butchers and Meat Trade Association, assembled nt Liverpool, resolved as fol lows. "That this Federation is in favor of dishorning being legalized as a means of preventing injury to cattle ia transit." No doubt Parliament will soon pass a law legalizing the practice, though all tho good such a law could do would bo to put tho burden of proof on the person who makes the complaint. Now it is necessary for the defendant to prove in each case that the dehorning does not cause unnecessary pain. Tho cranks are getting tired of sympathizing with the vicious brutes that uso horn, while for getting the innocent creature that gets gored. This is a good sign, and we may all hope soon to see the last of dangerous cimeturs on the heads of cows and bulls. -American Dairyman. IMPROVEMENT OP POOR LAND. The use of green crops for the improve ment of poor land is not so easy as is commonly thought. Oreen manure is most effective on good land, and for the purpose of n ni itaiuing its fertility, rather than of rec'.o.ing it when this has been lost, Tho crop to be plowed under, of course, adds nothing to tho land that has not been taken from it. But it is very rare that any land is so impoverished that a thorough plowing and a dressing of lime "v ill. not bring some crop that may be turned under with benefit. It might bo suggested that such land be plowed two inches deeper than it has been pre viously, and given a dressing of twenty five or thirty bushels of lime to the acre. Then sow with buckwheat in June, using one-half bushel of seed per acre. Then sow one peck of clover seed per acre and barrow it lightly with a brush harrow or a plank drag. This covering of the seed secures it against a spell of dry weather that might occur. The buckwheat is harvested in the usual manner, and the clover wiil make a sufficient growth to go through tho winter safely. Tho noxt year a crop of bay is taken, and the second growth is left on the land, to be turned under for corn the next year. When the corn is laid by the land is sown with clover again, and tho seed is covered in by a light V shaped harrow run through the rows. The corn is worked level, so that the seeding may be as even as possible. This alternation may be made once more, when the second growth of the clover is tuined under for wheat, and 200 pounds of superphosphate of lime may be applied per acre. By proceeding in this way and plowing deeply tho land may be much improved in a few years. New York Times. KYB AS A GREEK MAVCHE. "When I bought my present farm of sixty-five acres in the full of the year, writes Joseph Smith of Michigan, I found it in a badly run-down condition. Not one acre of meadow was on the place, and the tenant declared that it was too poor to raise clover. I commenced by putting in the best portions of the furm to fall wheat, and the poorer parts to fall rye. During the winter I cut wood and hauled it down to the city, and when I could not get a load of man ure given to me, I could usually buy a two-horse load for twenty-five cents. This I used us a top-dressing on the fall crops, very thinly, of course. In spring I sowed clover and Timothy seed on the wheat and so much rye as I had top dressed. This I followed with a forty, five toothed steel harrow, which served the double purpose of covering the seed and fining tho manure. The balanco of the rye I left to grow as best it might till about the fiist of June. Then I pro ceeded to plow it down with a weed hook, or a chain fastened to tho furrow horse's whilflctrco and back to tho plow. I then lolled and fined the soil to hasten tho decomposition of the ryo, and after properly pulverizing ond again rolling, I planted it partly to potatoes and corn, sowing the balance to Hat turnips. Iu August there was a good growth of bot toms. I pulled the larger ones to feed the stock, as at this suason of tho year tho pastures are suffering from dry, hot weather. Thtu I plowed down this mass of vegMatlon and again rolled and harrowed till time to bow to wheat. The next year there was no trouble in locat ing the line of tho gieea manuring. As soon as it was time to stop culti vating the corn crop, I sowod rye in the corn, cultivating between the rows with a shallow tool. This gav pasturago for nil kinds of stock til! the tuow covered the ground. This i'em of pasturo alone will pay the cost of labor aud seed rye. Next yeur the ry was turned down, seeding to clover aud Timothy. After digging the potatow, I kuirowed the ground down level and sowed to ryo to plow down for corn or millet for fodder, taking off in time to prepare for wheat to bo seeded down tho following spring to clover. Sometimes I plant potatoes on every third furrow when plowing down the rye, and if it should be a dry season the potato crop will prow right along as tho rye seems to retain tho moisture. I havo had potatoes thus planted that were green and flourishing weeks after all or dinary tender vegetation was blnokencd by the frost. In digging potatoes so planted, it is better to plow them out. It is enough to make a man enthusiastic to see the clean crop of tubers lying in a rich bed of decomposed vegetation. This plan of enriching the farm may bo carried into the garden patch, taking off sipiash and other vegetables, and sowing to rye to plow down for the same kind of crops the following season. No mat ter if it does not come up that fall, it will come all right in the spring, and only be a few days behind tho earlier sown crop. Ameiican Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Protecting tomatoes with bags lias been tried with good results. If you would keep up with your sea son's work haul out your manure now. Help at home doesn't cost half as much as it does on tho road or on tho train. We must learn to set our crops .so that in marketing they will cost the least money. Poverty is illustrated by the con dition of tho roi ls and the far.ns that bound them. The clay floor of Bilo may bo ren dered rat-oroof bv naintins it with a thick coat of gas-tar. Cleanliness and comfortable quarters are important items in keeping the calves in a good thrifty condition now. Supply your hens with pure fresh water. In cold weather it will do no harm to have tho chill taken oil. It is a very foolish error to suppose that fine fowls am moro susceptible to disease than the common dunghill. The great size aud extra egg-productiveness of the thoroughbred fowls is the result of years of judicious breeding from the very strongest and most healthy specimens. Sunlight and air are among the best preventives of mildew, therefore trees aud plants which are subject to its at tacks should be so set and so trimmed that they will not lack for either. The most prosperous and best informed dairymen in the South wouldn't use ice if given them for nothing, as the butter would quickly spoil after being taken off ico, and families would buy it no more. The cream gatherer for an Iowa fac tory says that during the nine years he has performed this service the quantity collected has trebled, and the quality has so improved that what was best at first would now rate as poorest. The statement is made that Ampelop sis veitchi, the Japan creeper, raised from seed started early in a box in the house, and transferred at the proper time to its permanent place outdoors, will get twice as far up a wall the first season as will a young plant grown from a cut ting. A well bred flock of thoroughbred chickens are less liable to contact dis ease, from the lact that good breeding has established ioAhem strong constitu tions and powers of endurauco, while promiscuous crossing and recrossing of dunghills has weakened these charac teristics. To rake up and burn the fallen leaves in the orchard, or to put them in the manure heap, will lessen the liability of tho spreading of fungus diseases, and the same is true of all other plants. Where fungus is very troublesome In any season, such measures may be necessary to prevent its returning tho next year with increased power. Success waits upon the man who works his land for that which feeds his stick, when every steer carries to market a ton of hay in the shape of beef, and fifty or more bushels of corn ; when every colt or filly, every hog or sheep does measur ably the same, and when butter by the ton will represent tniiu loads of hay, and grass, and oats, and corn, and other stuff. Do not let that bard milking cow stay in the herd any longer than you can help it, for she is an aggravation to the milkers who soon spoil her by neglecting to strip her clean. It is a most excellent pluu too for the owner of the herd to take all the "hard coses" in the herd under his own special care, for he being interested, is suro to be more charitable toward them. It is in the more arid porta of the country that men leain how best to pre vent the surface the mould occupied by the roots from becoming fatally dry. In California the value of hoeing is so as suredly known that even the orchards are kept under clean shallow culture, and not a weed Is left to rob the trees. The same care secures vegetable crops, where, without it, they wou'd inevitably fail. It is a lesson for other regions. Has it occurred to you that if you have a surplus of any ono forage sheep aro just the fellows you want to help equalize matters There aro no other animals that will eat und thrive upon si many kinds of food; so, instead of pro viding a forage crop on purpose for them, wait until you see what you will have a surplus of and then provision the sheep with that. So that it will be clean nu 1 wholesome they wiil not care much what it is, and will take it and give you good return In wool and mutton. A cowboy manages his swine in this way: The sows have two litter of pigs yearly. The first are dropped in March, grown on milk, clover and wheat bran, fattened on corn, and sold at the first demand for fresh pork in the fall. The second litters coaie in August. Tbey are given summer conditions in winter warm pens, cut aud steeped clover hay, rooU, bran and corn, and are slaughtered at the last demand for fresh pork of the season. These two marketing seasons are when fr-th pork always brings thu highest price, TEMPERANCE. TH DRUKXARD'S POSITION. At th ball of the Osotral Tsmpcranea Association in London last month, Mrs. An niit llmnt delivered a notable temrwronca adrirom, in the course of which she said that instead of the drunkard's bein "no man's enemy but his own," he is ' focus of prison to the oommniiirr in which he has a physical Eresenoe;" and it Is ths views which sh olds of the relationship of one man to an other, and the influence which be exerts up on another, that have made her a total abstainer. LIQUOR lit GERM ANT. Wbatevfr the mistakes made by Emperor William nt tfermanv, he is not mistaken in the deep interest he feels in the drink ques tion. Whether from the social, the military, or the industrial point of view, be discerns the vital bearings of this question. A na tion whose defenders are sodden with drink leans on an unreliable support. A country whose work-people are besotted with alcohol and who waste their wages on that which does them no good, is liable to get into the lurch in the sharp, eager, unresting compe titions of industrial manufacture and com merce. Asa leading military journal in Uermany declares, unless Germany redeems herself from the saloon, she will look in vain for competent defenders when the test of war is to be met. In (ireat Britain the ex penditure for drink the past year was con siderably over seven hundred million dol lars; twioe as large as the total national revenue. It is a blind and fatuous states manship which would ignore such facta as these. The Witness. LIQUOR SILLING AT TBS WORLD'S PAIR. The Christian at Work publishes the Na tional Temperance Society's memorial to the World's Fair Commissioners against liquor selling in connection with the Fair, and makes a vigorous editorial protest against the preliminary action of the Board of Con trol in granting, for a money consideration, concessions to liquor-sellers. It says: "The haste with which the local manage ment came to a decision on the liquor ques tion is in striking contrast with the dilatory manner with which the requests of the friends of Sunday closing have been treated. The latter have been trying now for nearly a year to secure some decision on this point, but no decisive action has been taken. The question of the sale of liquor, however, was decided, so far as the local directory could decide it, without auy delay. The local di rectory has, perhaps, taken this way of giv ing notice to the world at large that It has no sympathy, as one of our dally papers has expressed it, with "Sabbatarians aud tem perance cranks.' It could hardly have taken a more direct way to express that sentiment. But these 'iSaboatariaus and temperance cranks' compose a very large and influential portion of the people of the United Htates, and it may be found in the end that it is neither wise nor wife to ignore them en. tirely." ALCOHOL AS A POISOV. "Is alcohol a food, and does the human sys tem crave it as it does tea.coflee.cocoa, etc. 7 That question," said a lenrnml female phy sician, "was discussed by the bt. Louis Medical Society at its meeting last Baturday night. I could hardly believe I was living in the close of the nineteenth century whea three sons of --T.sculapius undertook to in dorse such sentiments. How di 1 men livs before its discover? in the thirteenth cen tury? Bince that time It has been proved that alcohol is not a food, but a poison. It enters the stomach as alcohol, passes through the system as alcohol unchanged, ia found In the tissues and brain after death as alcohol, and will burn as alcohol then. It is not con verted into tissue building or blood making, and not assimilated anywhere in the system as food. Alcohol will retard destructive metamorphosis of tissue in diseased body, and may thus serve as a mediciue, a stim ulant to tide over the disease, as arsenic and atrvchuine do good as medicine often, though deadly poisons. That alcohol is assimilated In the system and aids in building muscular tissue is false. Temperance societies have proved that it is not a necessary stimulaut in disease, for in Chicago a hospital has b.-en opened in which alcohol has been prohibited, and tberecordsot recovery are proof of its success. The people of India never usei it until British rule came there a few years ago. Then the spirit of gain induced Great Britain to send barrels of tbe liquor to de stroy the men of that country. "St. Louis Globe-JJemocrat, TUB EVILS OF INTEMPERANCE, In his sermon before the Springfield C. T A. Union Convention, Rev. John F. Leon ard sets forth the evils of intemperance is. the following clear and convincing manner: In all cause which have a baneful and evil erTect, in the great battle of life, and which tend to wreck the future hopes of success, and to blight the brigntest projpectre for good; there is none, not one more to ba dreaded than the evil of drunkenness. This evil bas made such inroads among all classes: of people in our day, and its pernicious ef fects are so far-reaching and wide-spread, that it is time to stem this torrent of de struction. It bas swept over this fair lanl like a pes tilence, marking its course by wrecked and ruined homes; filling the poor-houses, the or phanages, the insane asylums, the jails and the prisous. God Himself commands us to guard and protect with care our strength aud health. He even renounces the rigttt He hs of our services, wheu we cannot sarve Him, with out the danger of Injuring it. An1 yet, O precious health ! so useful and valuable to man, so precious in tin sight of God, bow many are they who wrecklessly ruin and destroy thee? Ah ! but bow? By frequent and excassiva drinking. The life that is so precio is, aud that would not otherwise bi expose 1 to dan ger by any one, is willingly and deliberately shortened and brought to a premature end. Nearly all diseases come from ill-digested humors in the stomach, and tb& humors must necessarily and frequently arise in a stomach charged with beer and strong driuk which heat the blood and retard digestion. Hence tbe dumb brute will not drink unless it is thirsty; aud poor people as a class, have not the diseases of the rich who drink liouors. All sorts of fevers, diseases of tbe chest and lungs, dropsy, consumption, palsy, apoplexy. Rout, treuibliug of the limbs and impurity of tue blood, come, for the most part, irom excessive urinx, ana are not apt to be found in temoerate meu. Tbe providence of God has wisely ordained that excessive arinmng snouia oriug its own punishment, aud should cause all those evils, to those who are addicted to it, 111 order that. if they are still capable of using their rea son, aud following its dictates, they may be deterred from this evil aud ruinous habit of intoxicating drink.

A XOST GRAPHIC STORT. , II la Takes Direct frem Real Life. A rnAtuinro new England lady nti.iJ! HER EXPERIENCE BOTH ABROAD AND IN AMERICA. The unwritten romances of life are mora wonderful and far mora Interesting than ths most vivid works of Action. Tbe one we are about to relate occurred in real life, and la both interesting and instructive. Mrs. Jennie ltnv formerly lived In Man chester, N, Jl. Her home was pleasant; her surroundings comfortable. In the yar 18S0 she visited England, and while in that country began to experience strange sensa tions. At first she attributed them to tbe change of climate, but they continued and increased, until filially, like many another woman, sue became utterly discouraged. It was while in this condition that Mrs. Itav returned to America and her home. Thousands of women who rend this story can appreciate tne condition in wnicn airs, nny then wns,and sympathise with her suffering. Two prominent nhTsicians were called and endeavored to do all In their power for her rencr. in spite, however, of their skill Mrs. Hay grew weaker and more depressi-d, while the agony she endured seemed to Increase. it was at this time thRt a noted physician who was called declared Mrs. Ilay was' suffer ing from cancer, said there was no help, and told her friends she could not live more than a week at the farthest. And here comes the Interesting part of tho story, which we will endeavor to tell in Mrs. Hay's own words. Bhesaid: "Unknown to all these physicians, 1 had been using a preparation of which 1 had heard much. I liil not tell the physicians because I feared they would ridicule me.nnd perhaps order Its discontinuance. During all the while that the physicians were at tending me the pr?paration was steadily aud iniiniuuy noing Us own worn m its own way, anil I had faith in its power. At last the doctor said there was no use of his com ing, fur he could do me no goo I. I had suf fered so much that I was quite willing to die, but it seems I was nearer relief than I knew. One week from the day the doctor last called a false growth.as large as a coffee cup, and which looked as though it had been very lnrge, left me. I sent for a doctor, and he declared it was a fibroid tumor, but said he hnd never known one to come awnv of itself before. 1 immediately bogan to f;nin health an I strength, and 1 uuhositat ugly declare that iny rescue from death was due solely to the marvelous effects of Warner's Safe Cure, which was the remedy I took unknown to tliephysicians,and which certainly rescued me from the grave. It is my firm belief that many la lies who are said to die of cancer of the womb are cases like mine, and if they could be induced to use Warner's iSafe Cure they, like me, might bo saved." The above graphic account is perfectly true in every respect. Mrs. Jennie Kay is now living at i4i West Sixth street, HoutU Boston, Mass., and if any lady doubts the above statement she can address Mrs. Hay, who will gladly answer all questions or grant an interview of a confidential nature to any la ly who may choose to can upon her. It is said that "truth is stranger than fiction." and when the thousands of suffer ing, helpless womon who are upon the road which physicians say leads only todent h.con sider the story as above given, there is reason for hope and joy, even although they mav be now iu the deoths of despondency and misery. To such Indies the above trutulul account Is willingly given. Largest Olive Orchard in the World. The largest olive 01 chard in the world belongs to Mr. Kllwocd Cooper, of Santa Barbara County, California. Mr. Cooper purchased tho- laud occupied by this mammoth grove of Oriental trees away buck in 1871, the entire orchard, includ iug the portions of it which are devotod to tho culture ol English walnuts, Japanese persimmons, almouds, etc., comprising 1700 acres. The orchard now has 10,000 olivo trees, 8100 in full bearing, the remainder beiug young trees set out during tho post jear aud a half, Besides the oliv.o treo thero uro 3000 Knglish wnluut trees, 10,000 almoud trees and about 4000 other fruit und nut trees. Tho 10,000 olivo trees yielded 40,000 quart bottles of olive oil last vcar, nbicu fouud a ready market at $1.25 per bottle; tho nut trees boro thousands of bushels of nuts, to say nothing of the Japanese persimmons. Taken all in all, it has beeu calculated that Mr. Cooper a orchard brings an in come of not less than $300 per aero every year. St. Louis Kupublican. Queer Chinese Commodities.
