THE USE OF PLASTER.

d. C. Wright said he could double his
crop Of clover by the use of plaster; would
select the dark gray thought tie fresh
ground much the best; sows it upon tho
clover very early in the spring, believing
it would receive more benefit by early
sowing than when it had attained consid-
cradle growth always selects moist day
for its application thinks it may lose its
efficacy by long continued use upon the
same land. M
N. Fisher had sowed plaster upon land
at the time of seeding, producing good
effect upon the clover, and procuring Il
good catch upon land where formerly it
had been hard TO obtain one; thought it
needed wetling after being applied, and
instanced case where he had applied it
to piece of potatoes, part before and
part after shower, the field was treated
in other respects the same. A marked
difference was apparent throughout the
sea on and at harvest the yield was one
third larger on the portion of The field
where the plaster was applied before the
shower. When used on clover he thought
i, better to apply it early in the spring as
the early spring rains was what it needed.
Ii. p. Farr said lie had used plaster
mixed with a,hes on corn and potatoes,
puttippit ia the hill, aud received more
benefit than from either when used alone.
O. L. Fisher did not think plaster would
lose its eff CT by long use upon the same
land, believing its benefit would continue.
The President, n. G. Pierce, Esq,
agreed with II. p. Farr in the use of
master and ashes mixed. lie had tried
experiments with ashes and plaster side
by side, and could not discover much dit
ference, but where applied when mixed
fund it much better, and believed ten
bushels of ashes and two hundred lbs. OF
plaster per acre would keep oar meadow
lands in good condition without the appli-
cation of any other fertilizer.
ii. Goodhue lad applied plaster on his
: farm bu. could discern no benefit except
: OH potatoes and that very slight.
: Nj. W. Davis, in answer to question, be-
E lieved plaster stimulant rather than "a
5 fertilizer, its office being TO hold the am
c monia from passing off until the roots of
a vegetation can take it up. He believed
: it one of the best articles in use and
would apply it 10 clover late in the seas
: on or when the clover had attained a larg-
d err growth; thinks its effects more marked
II than when sown early in the spring; does
: not think it loses It's effect by continuous
a use upon the same land and would never
c apply less than fifty pounds per acre. He
II had abandoned the arm aching method in
i its application, adop Ing the easier man.

THE DELICIOUS CHEAT.

She said she loved me, oftentiGes
She gave me kisses warm and sweet,
And | expended scores of rhymes
On the delicious little cheat.
I called her darling, angel, dove,
My bosom's queen, exhausting quite
The whole vocabulary OF love,
And, sure, 1 though that all was right.
But, when I pressed her to consent,
To name the happy bridal day,
Her cream to bonnyclabber went
She laughed and said it wouldn't pay.
For [ was poor aud she was worse
For | had truth and constancy-
But then the fascinating curse
Had more of common sense than l.
She wed millionaire, and now,
When age has silVered DER my head,
And brought some wrinkles to my brow,
thank her for the words she said.
For had we too joined heart and hand
For "better or for worse" Away,
The worse would have grown worser, and
The devil would have been to pay.

The Germantown telegraph gives the fol-
lowing plan for growing tomatoes -" One
would suppose that at this late day we knew
pretty much all about cultivating the tomato;
but it seems that we do not, inasmuch as we
daily gee recommendations as to the best
mode of getting the most fruit. Some peo-
pie trail the vinesover elaborate tressel work
or frames, at no little expence; other trellis
them; others stick them with brush about
the size or little larger than that used for
peas; others simply throw brush down for
them to run over; others allow the vines to
creep over the ground without any support,
only previously mulching the ground with
grass or straw. We have tried every mode
here mentioned, and we have found that
whether the plants ere stuck, brushed, or al
lowed to run unsupported over the gro.nd,
the yield about the same. Frames and Trel-
lises are not so productive. We prefer the
sticking process. 1t produces full as great
crop as any other mo lie and if tine brush is
firmly inseitci in the ground, it admits OF
passing between the rows to pick The fruit.
When The vines are allowed to run ove- the
ground unsupported, however much the
ground may be mulched. the flavor of the
tomato, is more or less extracted by the
natural attraction Of the soil, by which the
fruit is rendered almost worthless; besides
the vines are all in mass, and to get at the
fruit is inconvenient to the picker and in
furious TO the crop.

John Randolph, of Roanoke, on one of
his frequent visits to Mr.. Lacy's School, in
his own neighborhood, interrupted one of
the boys who was reading portion of the
Penteteuch, with this question, "Tom Mil
Ter, can you tell me who was Moses Father"
"Jethro, Sir" was the prompt answer.
Why,you little dog, Jethro was his father
in-law." Then putting the question to four
or five by name, not one of whom could an
swer, he berated them soundly for their
carelessness and inattention in reading, say
ing, "When you were reading last week,
William Cook read the verse containing the
name of Moses Father, and have you forgot
ten 1t already?" Just then young man
caught the name, and unable to repeat the
verse of the Bible, repeated part Of line
from Milton, "The potent rod Of Abrams
Son, etc" Ah," said Mr.. Randolph,
"that is the way you learn your Bible-get
1t out Of other books-what little you know
of it." and with exceedingly solemn manner
and tone, added, " and so it is with us all,
and terrible proof Of our deep depravity
1t is, that we relish and remember anything
better than the book" The very utterance,
simple as 1t was, filed every one with awe,
and made him feel guilty, while at the same
time It impaired reverance for the Bible,
which was never felt before.
