AGRICULTURAL. Within a few j ears past the problem of increasing the yield of corn by im proved methods of cultivation, has been warmly difcussed, and, no doubt, with benefit to tbe farmers of the land. The average farmer will not raise one hundred bushels of shelled corn per acre, but the successful efforts will, at least, induce him to strive to increase his yield It would be well if a great more thought and investigation were (riven to increasing the yield of pota toes. Tbe exports of breadstuff's from the ; United States for the fiscal year ended j with June 30th reached the enormous j total of $277,220,762, the largest amount for any one year in the his tory of tbe country. This places bread-1 stuff in the front rank of our export j trade, for in no other line of products ; does the total reach these figures, and the only approach to them is found in cotton and provisions. The Farm and Fireside speaks with just severity of the way blacksmiths hack off the frog of tbe horse's foot, as though nature had made a mistake in putting it there. "We know," it says, "what an elephant's foot is; it is all ■ rubber-like. The horse has the same encased in a shell, which gives him accurancy and steadiness of movement. Now, this casing protects the frog. It grows slowly, the frog grows rap idly. The healthy foot of the colt shows a centre, if not projecting, at least level with tbe line of the hoof. He does not take his weight wholly on the rim of his feet. Old horses would have feet more like them if blacksmiths would allow they knew a little less than nature, and really knew enough to read her intentions." A correspondent of the Chicago Times relates some remarkable ex periences with the use of salt in bis garden and orchard. In 1877, be says his wife had a garden forty feet square which it was necessary to water every day, and still the plants and flowers were very inferior. The next year be put half a barrel of brine and half a barrel of Bait on the ground and tamed it under. That season watering could be dispensed with, and the plants were of unusual size and the flowers of great beauty. He also had some po tatoes growing from seed that wilted down as soon as the weather became very hot. He applied salt to the sur face of tbe soil till it was white. The vines took a vigorous start, grew to the length of three feet, blossomed and produced tubers from the size of hen's eggs to that of goose eggs. His soil is chiefly sand. The high prices that ruled for wheat during the past season, led farmers through the Northwest to sell, as a rule, all they could possibly spare, while the same cause seems to have deterred millers from laying in a heavy supply. Accordingly the latter through almost that entire section ap pear to be short of "bard," or "Min nesota" Spring wheat, so that it is re ported that of the 204,730 bushels of the variety lately in storage in Chi cago, 60,000 are to be sent by water to Milwaukee, and 100,000 by rail to points in the interior as far off as Min neapolis. In the absence of a sufficient supply of "hard," it is doubtful whether the mills will decide to take what is known as "soft"' Spring wheat, or shut down until the new harvest is in the market The new wheat in that re gion will hardly be ready for grinding before about the middle of September ; for after it has ripened and been har vested it will require some time until it is dried enough for millers' use. Success in butter-making depends largely on tbe prompt cleaning of the dairy utensils. Every utensil, after being used, must be cleansed immedi ately in order to prevent taints in the milk, cream or butter. On the 15th of July thirty Norman horses, all sound and healthy, and in fine condition, arrived in Boston by the steamer Anglia. The lot consisted of twenty-two stallions and eight mares, and the importation is regarded as the most valuable assortment of Norman horses ever brought to this country. A correspondent of the Ohio Far- \ mer, who strongly urges the growing of turnips for stockfeeding, says that with turnips fed tops and all to sheep, with a small additional quantity of grain, either oats or corn, the amount of hay required for a flock of sheep will be very small. Cattle also eat them with great relish. Ohio in 1879 bad 9,150,000 sheep, and a dog interest assessed at $373,- 624. These dogs last year killed 47,- 626 sheep, valued at $102,444. In 1871 the value of pheep killed by dogs in that State was $200,000. From this it appears the Ohio dogs destroy their value in sheep in a period of less than two and a half years. Skimmed cheese, says an exchange, has received the black eye it has long deserved. Illinois creamery skims are selling in New York at from three to five cents a pound, which is about half what whole milk cheese is worth. The practice of the creameries of taking off all the cream they can get, and then making up a cheese from the remain der, has had its day The practical fall stock, with just as little as possible taken off the night's milk, is the com ing cheese, and the nearly worthless commodity made by some of the cream eries will be forced out of the market. CIDER WINS. —To three gallons of new, unfermented cider, add nine pounds of sugar; dissolve the sugar by stirring it well. Put it into a sweet keg, and let it stand four weeks then strain it through a cloth strainer, and put it either into bottles or jugs ; cork tightly, and it will keep for any length of time, as age improves it. Every housekeeper knows what a lux ury and convenience a pure, unadul terated wine is in a family, either for cooking purposes or medicinal uses. Maple sugar is as nice for wine as any other. An English contemporary very prop erly describes as "decoy ducks" the prominent persons whose names appear as "patrons'' of one enterprise and an other that are begging for public con sideration. Here the business is man aged somewhat differently, for well known people are named as "trustees" or "directors" of various businesses, with the tacit understanding that a president, a secretary, or a cashier shall manage the business according to his own sweet will, while the gentlemen with high sounding names do nothing whatever until a crash comes, and even then they only wonder blankly how it happened. TOO GENEROUS. An old gentleman who is avaricious j and has the disadvantage of a large family of relations has contrive.l an in genious plan for gettiug rid of the ne cessity of making birthday presents to them, or at least to such of them as are of gentler sex. His method was simple enough. He sent them presents in large boxes, conspicuously addressed thus : "To Mad. Endoxle B on her sixty-eighth birthday "To my niece Gertrude, on the thirty-first an niversary of her birth," etc. His rela tives instantaneously united in beg ging him not to waste money on pres ents for them, now that the times were ■■ so bard. JOHNNTS ESSAY ON DOGS.' Last summer our dog Towser was | lyin' in the sun trine to sleep, but the flies was that bad that he couldn't cos be had to catch 'em, and bime by a bee lit on his head, and was workin' about like as the dog was bisn. Towser he held his bead still, and when the bee was close to his nose, Towser winked at him like he sed you see what this buffer is doin', be thinks I'm a lilv-of tbe-vallv which isn't opened yet, but you jist wait till I blossom and you will see some fun, and sure enuf Tow ser opened his mouth very slow so as not to fritten the bee and the bee went into Towser's mouth. Then Towser ha shut his eyes, and his mouth too, and had begun to make a peaceful smile wen the bee stung him, and you never see a lily-of-the-valley ack so in your life. A SHOWER OF RAILROAD SPIKES. The great demand for railroad spikes has called into existence a remarkable machine, now in successful operation at the establishment of Dilworth, Porter & Co., Pittsburg. It is the in vention of the late Mr. James Swett, and comprises a series of "continuous" rolls handling the (material automati cally. The material, in the form of bil lets two and a half inches in diameter and three feet long, is taken in by the machine, and in thirteen seconds re duced in diameter and increased in length to a rod thirty-six feet long and nine-sixteenths of an inch square. In forty seconds more this rod has to be cut in two and passed through two •pike machines, from which finishtd spikes shower at the rate of forty tons every ten working hours. By working "double time" five of these machines have turned out eleven hundred kegs of railroad spikes per cUv, each keg containg one hundred and fifty pounds, or thirteen kegs to the ton. The pro-, duct of ordinary rolls and machines is from two to two and a half tons of fin ished spikes per working day of ten hours. GOVERNMENT DEBTS. . Parties in legislative bodies may eagerly clutch at everything that will give them an opportunity to abuse each other, but there is one task upon which they may always be trust ed to join forces, and that is the work of making ends meet. No matter who may rule, no matter for what the outlay may have been incurred, the running expenses of the government must be met, and neither party dare refuse to vote the mouey. In Eng land there has been no more distaste ful move of the new government than the proposal to increase the income tax, and the opposition could not ask a better grievance upon which to gain the sympathy of the people, if only they dared use it; but if more money is not raised England cannot meet her bills. There is no other method of making sure of the necessary amount, so when the proposition was made in the Commons on Wednesday night to reject the proposal to increase the tax it was defeated by a large majority, many of the opposition voting with the government. Some of the money will go to pay for old liberal lunacies and some for conservative blunders, but it matters not who did the danc ing or how they danced, the piper must be paid. The same experience comes to" our own parties; they may call each other the most dreadful names for past party blunders, each may claim to have the only knowl edge that exists about economy, but when it comes to the work of raising the money the party that refuses to help must give up the ghost. A Chinaman was three days without food, in a California wilderness. When fonnd, he said he had been fed abun dantly by strange beings, who supplied all sorts of delicacies. His imagina tion had been affected by hunger, as is frequently the case; but his country men believe that he has been in the hands of devils, and they are puttiug him through a purifying course of cere monies. A diamond expert of Chicago asserts that many of the so-called solitaires, sold as single stones, are made up of small stones cleverly put together. Un der the blowpipe they separate. He adds the surprising statement that not one diamond in ten sold in this country is other than the refuse of the London market. Nearly all are off-colored, specked, or feathered, and are sold at a fictitious value. The new dance, 'the racquet,' is thus described : "The embrace is close, for the dancers need the strongest support from each other; while they give a sideway kick with both feet, at the same time the body bends with a low ! dip. The lady's sash ends and frills and the coat tails of tjie gentleman fly about in all sorts of odd fantastic forms. The time and motion of the music and steps must satisfy the fastest and gid diest of our young people. It is a par lor substitute for a cancan." Walnut Ridge, a wealthy Quaker settlement near Rushville, Indiana, lately became very much excited over a new religion, which they call White Lightning Religion. The excitement became so great that schools were dis missed and the people left their places of business and farms to participate. The leaders pretended to have super natural powers, and held the bodies of friends with attempts to revive them until burial was compelled by the au thorities. A man named Pitts, a lead er, married a woman imbued with the same faith, and who greatly maltreat ed the daughter of Pitt's first wife. They gave her a severe beating, com pelling her to completely undress to receive it. This so incensed the irre ligious neighbors that they went to the house in a ti>dy, tarred and feath ered Pitts and left him a sample of tl e rope that would be used if the relig ious frenzy be not checked.

Are now putting on the market a Plow that is aa much superior to any Plow heretofore made as the Plows of the past tew years have been superior to those made half a century ago. It combines all the excellencies of any Plow In use. It obviates £Ol the objections made to any other Plow. In addition it embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which we have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process tor which we have alao obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be THE BYRACUBE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than our present styles. A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six teen to nineteen dollars. The price of our new Plow will he but Seventeen Dollmrc, and It Will be the cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board will outwear three of the very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold boards. It will scour in soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this Plow will be Introduced a corru gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which we have also obtained a Patent, and which is also a great improvement, both as regards strength and wear. The Jointer can be shifted so as to take more or less land, and also more or leas pitch, and It can always be kept on a line with the Plow. The wheel will run under the beam or one Bide of it as desired, and always kept In line. The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fan Plowing, and also for two or three horses. The handles can be adjusted to acconimo date a man or boy, on the same Plow. It is a perfect Plow. Wooden beams are going out of use because they shrink, swell and warp, and never run two seasons alike. Iron beams are too heavy. Malleable beams become demoralttd and tend, which Is much worse than to break. A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It te three times as strong and very much lighter than any other style. When we say a Mold board is chined, the tanners know It is sa We do not palm ofT on them a composition Of various metals and call It chilled metal. We want agents tor this new Plow in every town In this State. We can give but a very small discount to them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight. We propose to place this Plow in the hands of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture As possible. It will be the u*t Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall also be tbadtapesfc Persons therefore who are not wining to act as agents on the principle that "a nimble six pence la better than a slow shilling," need not apply for an agency. No Plows on commission. All sales absolute. WThis Is the only Steel Chilled Plow In the World. Steel costs several times more than Iron. But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small discounts, can be sold for seventeen Dollars, Compare tills price with that of any Iran Plow ever ipade. It Is cheaper than any other Plow now Bade would be at five dollars and a half. Where there are no agents we win, 011 re ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any Kali road station In the State and pay the freight. Address. SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO. SyraouM, N.
