Prenaring Corr For Sec.

Ma EDIToR: As anything that tends
to the increase of any of our cereal crops,
is a matter Of great interest, / offer a
memorandum on the subject of advancing
the growth Of the young compliant. that
think worthy Of the attention Of farm
ers, shall certainly test its merits NY
self at Chestnut Grove this sunlmer--A
would advise its being tried. It cannot
reIard the termination Of the seed, nor
in any way iniure it, therefore / bespeak
for il trial.
Very respectfully. yours,
CHARLES WHAREoS, IN.
We extract the following from the
Bureau Counfg Republican
Last year DIR. Chamberlain of this
place, made some practical experiments
with chloride Of lime, and although he
claimed nothing more than the application
of well known principle, he denlOnstrat-
ed the factthat nearly half the time might
be saved in terminating the seed by the
use of chloride Of lime. Not satisfied
with the success of last year, the Doctor
is again in the field Of experiment In
his Office he had four boxes; in the first
is corn planted without soaking and the
seed not germinlted; in the second the
seed was soaked in warm water which has
Just commented TO germinate in the
third is seed soaked in a solution Of chic
ride Of lime and green blades are just
peeping from the ground, in the fourth is
seed soaked in solution of chloride Of
lime and copperas in equal parts, and the
blades are now nearly three inches above
the ground. All the seeds were planted
at the same time. in the same quality Of
soil and taken from the same ear. The
boxes have all had an equal share of heat
and light, neither allowed any advantage
over the other. This experiment should
attract the attention of farmers.
We conclude from four to SIX weeks
may be saved by the use of chloride Of
lime and copperas, which is matter Of
no ordinary moment, when we refeei that
a delay in the termination Of the seed Of
two weeks, frequently places the crop
within reach of the frost in the fall.
Another fact of some importance may also
be mentioned. The copperas used in
soaking will prevent the birds, squirrels,
worms, &C., from eating the seed.
Dr. Chamberlain assures us that one
pound of chloride Of lime and one pound
of copperas in water will soak enough
seed for twenty acres. The cost will not
be over twenty-five cents. Every farmer
could afford to make the experiment, even
if he should fail to derive any benefit
from it.

A bright-eyed little niece of ours, who

Rosella, 10 Field Notes, gives the fol-
lowing cheap way to handle old knives
and forks:
Take those that require a handle al in
one piece first, black walnut makes beau

right size, burn little hole in the ends
or bore it, if it wont split then while the
fork is heating, cut up little tow fne.
and mix it in with some powdered rosiu,
or some kind of cement, fiji the hole half

and lay it BY to cool. If you have no old
ivory handles for those that require two
pieces, split out and smooth of some soft

let the wire be long enough to 60 clear

making Bread.

A Granite State Farmers wife writes
the Boston Cultiyator that the following
mode of making bread is very simple and
cheap, and that she has practiced it two
years and never had "bad luck with her
bread"
Take one quart of warm water and one
teaspoonful Of salt; let the salt dissolve
in the water stir in -four enough to make
it quite thick, set the dish in kettle of
warm water and keep the water In the
kettle quite warm, but not warm enough
to scald the enptyings. In an hour stir
In two tablespoonfuls more -four and let
it rest until it rises, which will take an
hour and half at the longest. Have
ready your pan Of -four; pour the empty
ings into the -four, take tea-cup full of
warm water to rinse out the emptyings
that adhere to the dish and pour Il with
the rest; then stir the flour and yeast to-
gether until the mass becomes quite thick,
but not hard. Set the pan in warm
place and let it sponge half an hour /;
then stir in more -four and knead it and
put into the baking dishes let il stand in
a warm place ten or fifteen minutes, then
bake. Be careful not TO let it rise too
much the last time for it will be too por-
Gus. The more dough is kneaded the
better the bread will be, that is, if you do
not get in too much flour 50 as to make Il

The Two Portraits.

You have heard the story Of the Italian
artist, who, meeting with a child of ex.
quisite beauty, wished to preserve its
features for fear be should never see such
loveliness again. So he painted the charm
ing face upon canvass, and hung it on the
walls of his studio. In his somberest
hours, that sweet, gentle countenance was
like an angel of light to him. It's pres
ence filled his soul with the purest aspi-
rations. ''If ever I find," he said, "a
perfect contrast to this beautiful face,
will paint that also, and hang them side
by side, an ideal Of heaven and hell.
Years passed. At length, in a distant
land, he saw in a prison he visited the
most hideous object he ever gazed upon
"a fierce, hagard iend, with glaring eyes
and cheeks deeply furrowed with lust and
crime. The artist remembered his VOW
and Immediately painted a picture Of this
loathsome form to hang beside the lovely
boy. The contrast was perfect. Hi:
dream was realized. What was the sur.
prise Of this artist. on inquiring into the
history of this horrid wretch, TO find tha
he was once that lovely little boy. Both
of these pictures, the angel and the de-
mon of The same soul, now hang side by
side in the Tuscan gallery.
Little boy or girl, if you wish to pre-.
serve those eyes as bright as they now
are, and that face as pleasant and sweet
as it now is to look upon, you must keep
your heart pure. Sin can work Just such
change in you as it did in the beautiful
child whose picture was painted twice.
"Keep the heart with all diligence, for
out Of it are the issues Of life.

False n otiOns.

That the rebel army is badly equipped,
that it is deficient in food, that it is badly
armed, that it is not so large as our own.
The southern papers that reach US give a
different statement of facts. The rebel army
cannot be deficient i'll any of these things
The advertising columns of the Richmond
papers contain accounts of all kinds of
military goods to be had, including large
amount of blankets. The prices of food
prove that there is large abundance. Cat.

WILL IT PAY TO ENLIsT?-There is no
government in the world that pays its SOL
diers so literally as the government of the
United States, and leaving out of the ques-
tion all patriotic inducements, the wages
that can be saved by an economical soldier
should lead men to consider whether they
can do as we'll in any other business, while
the war lasts. Statements aremade showing
that man if he was economical could save
$3.50 from his wages in the three years, and
the hundred dollars bounty would make
him $3.50. Now ifhe was paid once in two
months, and invests his wages in the I $40
treasury notes, the interest would amount
to $46, making 1896 for his three years
work, besides his clothes and food. In ad-
dition to this the amount that might be
saved from the rations, if used advantage.
ously, would make quite little sum, and
the land that will be given at the close of
the war will swell the sum still more, max.
ing the grand total 1886. 1t is not pre-
tended that all, or many, would save this
amount. But all might do so by exercising a
rigid economy. The question is whether any
laboring man, and We might say, any bus>
ness man in Minnesota, can felicitate him.

his expenses, in the three years of the war,

Col. WM. FL. NoBLEs.-We discover
among the officers of General Sherman's
expedition the name of our old towpsman,
Col. VIM. II. MOBILES. He goes out as
Lieutenant Colonel, commanding the New
York Seventy-ninth Regiment. This regi-
ment is known as the regiment of Highland
ers and at the battle of Bull Run was com. i.
manded by Col. James Cameron, brother
of the Secretary of War, who was killed
in that action. We might be under some
doubt if the Col. VIM. 81. Mobiles named
was our veritable "Bill" but the Tribune
says he is "of wagon road notoriety," and
we don't know of any other person of that
name to whom these words would apply.

MINNESOTA ARrILLRRY.-Itis is understood
that the First Minnesota Artillery Compa
ny, now being recruited at Fort Smelling, is
to be raised to the maximum number of one
hundred and fifty men, and that the Cover.
nor has determined to appoint as its COM
mander, United States Ordnance Sergeant
John Jones, now in charge of the United
States property at Fort Ridgley.- We hope
this rumor is true. Sergeant Jones has the
reputation of being the most accomplished
soldier and the most thorough artillerist in
the State. He was one of Major Shers
mans old drill sergeants in his flying bat
terry. He enlisted in the army 10 l645, and
has served continuously ever since. He
fougnt at Monterey, at Vera Cruz, at Cerro
Gordo, at Contreras, Cberubusco, and the
City of Mexico. He was wounded at the
latter engagement in the neck by ball,
which is still embeddei in his flesh. For
his gallantry in thJse actions he was men,
toned by name 10 the regimental, brigade
and division reports. He has received every
mark OF merit ever given to non-commis-
stoned officer in The regular army. He is a
man of gentle manners and good education.
We hope if Sergeant Jones is appointed
that he will accept, and if he does he will
so train the Minnesota Battery that it will
prove an honor and never disgrace the

showing that our First Regiment still main-

Minnesota was the first to cross and the last to
re.cross; also, that they did not take scare
as the Second New York did, burn their KNAPP
sacks, and throw away their guus; but sos
brought everything back belonging to US.
