FOR THE FARMER'
UcneAts or Ili-ought on u,e StJlU
A drought acts upon the moisture in
the earth as follow: During dry weather,
a continual evaporation takes place from
tno surface soil, above that supplied by
rain and dew, which creates a vacuum (so
lar as the water in the surface soil is con
cerned,) that is at once filled by water ari
sing from the subsoil extending deeper
and deeper as the drought continues and
the moisture is exhaled a circulation of
water in the earth the reverse of that which
takes place in wet weather. This progress
to the surface of the watr ?n tl nurtl.
mam
ufests itself strikingly iu the dryi.i" up
of springs and well, and streams which
are supported by springs.
Not only is water thrs brought to the
surface of the earth, but tlso all that the
water holds in solution. There rre salts
of lime and magnesia, of potash and soda,
or indeed whatever the subsoil or top strata
of the earth may contain.
The water on reaching the surface is
evaporated, but leaves behind its lime end
potash, its phosphates, sili atc3 carbonates
and salts all indispensable to the growth
of the vegetable products cf the farm.
Rain water, as it falls,, will dissolve but a
very small portion of some cf those sub
stances ; but when it sinks into the earth,
it then becomes feirougly imbued witli
carbonic acid from the decomposition of
vegetable matter iu the soil, and thus ac
quires the property of readily dissolving
minerals on which before it could have
little effect.
. Several experiments tried by Prof. Ilig
gins, go to show tLis action of drought in
bringing mineral waters from a depth to
the surface of the soil.
In one case he placed c solution of chlor
ide of barium in the bottom of & glass cyl
inder, and then filled it with dry soil-
. Alter long esporuve to the rays of the
sun, the surface of the soil was tested vifh
sulphuric acid, and irave a copious precip
itate of sulphate of baryta. Chloride of
lime, sulphate of soda, and carbonate of
potash, were experimented upon in like
manner, and upon the application of prop
pcr tests, the surface of the soil showed
thicr presence in 'largo quantities, drawn
up by the rising of water from underneath,
as in case of draught.
The parched earth all vegetation
dwarfed and withered by the her.t seems
suffering under a curse, but it is only an
affliction for the present "a blessing in
disguise" for the f ulnre. "The early and
late rain," may produce at once abundant
crops, but dry wer.ther is needed to bring
to the surface from the depth of the earth,
wherelse it would be forever unimployed,
food for future harvests. It is Nature's
ordinance for keeping up the fertility of
tuc cultivated soil. Lninlry Unit.
Farmers' Daughters.
Miss L. Virginia Smith that was, Mrs.
French that is, the crinoline editress of
thc&fS'outfirrn Homestead, gives the follow
ing excellent advice to farmers' daugh
ters. Although intended for rural dis
tricts, it is applicable to young ladies whose
fathers are not farmers :
"A young girl who happens to be the
daughter of a real, genuine farmer, should
consider herself particularly fortunate.
Her position is one which contains all the
elements which go to make up a lofty
character ; it is calculated to bring out all
the energies, to develop all the natural
gifts, and in time, with proper guides, to
make her one of the greatest women in
the world. If there be in life one situa
tion above all others, where the daughter
may grow up healthful, beautiful, useful,
graceful, intelligent, and pure, that situa
tion I believe to be as one of the house
hold band in the home of the honest and
independent farmer or planter. I would
say to young girls whose lines have fallen
in such "pleasant places," do not under
value your peculiar advantages. You are
the "highly favored among women." The
circumstauces in which you are placed are
Buch as are best calculated to develop your
powers in a threefold form, physically,
mentally, and inofally.
I would have you value your advanta
ges, improve every one of them to the
utmost, and place a proper estimate upon
yourselves. You have every opportunity
to make yourselves noble, beautiful, intel
lectual, and useful women ; do this, then,
and each in her own person "assert the
dignity of labor." Consult your parents,
and form for yourself a purpose in life.
. They place before your brother some aim,
some standard, some goal which his exer
tions are to reach, why not then give you
"something to live for" also ? Why sho'd
you be the only cypher in the family ?
When you have "finished" school, don't
for one moment believe that you are "ed
ucated.". Don't "dress up in your six
flounces," etc., and sit down on the narlnr
.eofa, waiting for that young clerk at
'Ketchum & Cheatum's,' to "call round."
No; let him show off his laces, embroid
eries, etc., etc., and wear them too, fur all
you care about it. Remember that "let
others do as they will, as for you," you
.have something else to do than to sit down
fold yourwhite hands, and wait to be
married.
You have an influence in society to
, wield, duty as a daughter, and perhaps as
a sister, to perform, and then you must
not forget yourself, for you have a mind
to be cultivated, health to be guarded, a
heart to be educated, and an immortal
60ul to be saved. Is not this a great deal
of work ? Ws, trust me, if you only go
about it "wjth a will," you will find every
moment employed, and every day too short
for the accomplishment of all your duties.
You know how much you can assist mam
ma in all her varied departments of do-
mestic economy, the dairy, the poultry
jard, the store-room,' the sewing basket,
the garden, the shrubbery, and twenty
other things over which her watchful eye
presides ; but while doing all you can for
her, please don't neglect papa. Now I
see you smile incredulously, saying to your
nice little self, "Why, what in the world
conld I do for papa ?" O, a great deal, if
you will assume the responsibility. Be
sides preparing some refreshing delicacy
wheu he comes in, as he- expresses it,
"hungry as a hawk," or singing him a
sweet song when his mind is over-tasked,
you can talk with him, and learn of him
about his fields, his stocks, or his build
ings; you can read to him his agricultu
ral books and papers, (for there is a good
deal of "head work in farming,) and thus
improve your own mind while adding to
his knowledge. Suppose, then, that some
day he is called off on important business,
though it is in the hurry of "harvesting ;"
he quietly takes his seat in the cars, and
"goes ou his way rejoicing." "Ah !
squire, gkd to sec you ; but how in the
world did you get up to town ? this is
your busiest season, is it not ?" The old
man smiles ; a deep light flashes in his
blue gray eyes is it pride, or love ! as
he qtuetly replies : "Yes, sir, it is, but my
Mary will attend to that." O ! wouldn't
you "glory" in that ? I would.
I c:.n see no necessity in the world for
your troubling yourself about marriage,
but if Harry Thornton, thtt intelligent,
hanusomeaol successful young man will
keep on cng to consult your papa about
this or tfiPat, always contriving, by the
8y, to terminate his consultation with a
Ik, a ride, or a tete-a-irte with papa's
Iary,w why then you needn't be surpri
sed, on some fine evening, to hear yourself
"respectfully solicited" to, become Mrs.
Harry Thornton. Then I wish you to re
member that marriage is only a question
of will with you, not a necessity; your
good parents are not at all anxious to get
rid of such a sweet, sensible, brave, and
beautiful child: and you, if you don't
think you have a "call" to become a wife,
have been too well educated to fear the
name of "old maid." But if you love
Hurry, and your will is won, (which for
his sake, poor fellow, I trust is the case,)
then, like an honest, dear little rirl as you
are, navin; lar too much respect tour your
self to "flirt," say "yes" immediately, and
heaven bless you both.
Fanny Fern on Lady Hoarders.
"Troublesome creatures ! I never will
have another Tcman boarder," exclaimed
M rs. Grimes. And Mrs. Grimc3 was
right; neither would I were there a man
boardor to be had. Still I maintain, al
though it is a fixed fact that female board
ers are troublesome, they can't heljt it.
Listen : Whereas all a man wants of his
room is to sleep and dress in, it is a wo
man's home ; and alas ! often all she has.
She would not he a woman, did she cot
desire to make it tidy and habitable. This
her lady contracts to do. The fruitless
ringings for fresh water, towels, coal, light,
and clean carpet, are not unknown to any
woman who has worn her life out in board
ing houses. It is not, as I remarked, in
the nature of a petticoat to be comfortable
in a Babel : nor does its nwiirr fmcv a
cloud of dust, raised in the middle of the
aay upon her nicely smoothed hair, or
clean collar, because the chambermaid has
an appointment with John, the waiter, in
the entrv. or because sh
out the front window on her elbow an hour
iu every room she is "righting," instead
of at ten diner promptly to her business nnrl
getting through with it.
Now, man is by nature an unclean ani
mal. I doubt if he would ever wash his
face, were there no women about who
would refuse to kiss him if he didn't.
Well he clears a hole in the middle of
his room, and gets ready for breakfast ;
which he swallows, and then bolts through
the front door (dining down town) not to
return azain till evening. What nnaiW
difference, then, does it make to him,

Let Biddy take them into his counting
room. Let him stand on one leg while
she having moved his desk and displac
ed his ledgers preparatory to a sweep
runs out into the street half an hour, un
der pretence of getting a broom, to gossip
with an acquaintance. Let him, getting
impatient, sit down in the midst of the
hubbub, and drawing up his inkstand com
mence writing. Let Biddy re-enter just
as he gets under way, with a frisk of that
wretched, long-handled duster, which tos

Let him rise again and make way for
her, and then let her hop off again af

hour and all the while the merciless clock
ticking on, and the perspiration standing
on his forehead at this unnecessary waste
of his time and temper, and the work he

BSF-A rattlesnake was killed lately, 20
miles west of Terra IIaut, 21 feet in length,
18 inches round in the largest part, which
had 111 rattles. This same snake or one
like it, was seen in the same locality thirty
years ago. The monster was killed with a
rifle bullet, and is undoubtedly the biggest
rattlesnake we have ever seen noticed.
