N Hour A DAY.-There was lad

AN Hour A DAY.-Ihere was LAD
who, at fourteen, was apprenticed to- a
soap boiler. One Of his resolutions was
to read an hour day, or that rate, and
he had an old silver watch left him by
his uncle, which he timed his reading by.
He stayed seven years with his master,
and said when hs was twenty-one he
knew as much as the young squire did.
Now, let us see how much time he had to
read in, in seven years, at the rate of an
hour each day. 1t would be 2,555 hours,
which at the rate of eight reading hours
per day, would be equal to 80 days !;
equal to forty-fve weeks; equal to
twelve months; nearly one years read
ing. That time spent in treasuring
up useful knowledge would pile up very
large store am sure it issworth trying
for. Try what you can. Begin now. In
after years you will lood back upon the
task as the most pleasant and profitable
you ever performed.

Importance of Saving Good Seed
Wheat.

1t is not possible for any one to compute
the pecuniary advantage that would ac-
crue to our nation, were all farmers of the
country to make a proper selection of his
seed wheat for only few successive years.
There is broad and inviting field open on
this subject, for every ambitious farmer to
exercise his skill in improving the prodnc-
tiveness of our wheat growing fields by
producing now varieties OF wheat, which
will yield large heads and plump kernels
of choice grain. The prohfcdcy Of wheat
may be improved to wonderful extent by
proper management; and if q prolific va
riety of wheat can be brought out, that
will yield only few bushels more per acre
than the ordinary varieties, the advantage
in the aggregate would bca consideration
of no small magnitude Dr. Nolcker, in
a recent lecture before the Royal Institute,
London, stated that in country of Nor
folk the average produce of wheat was, in
1873, fifteen bushels per acre; i'll l19G,
twenty. eight bushels per; acre III SG2, thl:-
ty-two to thirty-six bushels peracre the in
crease being due to drainage, tillage, and
to the growth of improved varieties.
On this subject, Hon. Isaac Newton,
Commissioner of Agriculture, says: "a
new variety of wheat introduced into q
district has in some instances proved OF
very great value. 1t is said that the pro-
duct Of one quart of a variety brought from
North Carolina in lS45 had in nine years
benefited the farmers Of Preble county,
Ohio, alone, more than 100000 by the
gain over what would have accrued from
the continued use of the old varieties.
The prolifcacy of our cereals, and wheat
in particular, is subject that has been
seriously neglected for many years past,
even by those who have a reputation for
being excellent farmers. Seed wheat
should be selected every successive season
with direct reference to proficiency Of
the variety. In many instances, thirty
bushcles of grain might just as we'll be
grown on one acre as fifteen, with the
same cultivation and the same fertilization.
When wheat is in the path of degcneracy
the best soil in the country, the most tav
orablc season, and the most thorough and
intelligent cultivation will fail to produce
a remunerative crop.
Intelligent breeders of swine select their
seed animals with an especial reference to
the prolifcacy of the dam that will rear
twelve or fourteen pigs. In some instau-
ces we see this principle neglected or en-
tirie1y ignored And what is the eonse-
quence? Why, instead oftwelve OF four
teen sleek, plump and thrifty pigs, the sow
drops only two or three at a litter. On
the same principle, we often see short
heads Of wheat only half filled with small
kernels of grain, when, if the seed had
only been selected with a reference to its
prolifcacy, to yield would have been
twice the amount rcalizcd.-Ncao York

REMARKABLE D1scoyERY-A few DAYS

REMARKABLE DIscovERY.-A few days
ago, whilo some workmen were eXcava-
ting cellar in Polk township, Monroe
County, Indiana, the workmen struck
what at first appeared to be solid ledge
of rock, and sitting down to rest, one Of
their number began idly to pick at an ap-
parent fssure, when block of stone,
nearly two feet square, disappeared with
a dull thump. The men went eagerly to
work, and removing tho bottom of the
pit, disclosed q chamber with siX-foot
ceiling, and eighteen by twenty-five feet
within the walls, which are of solid, neat
ly scanned stone work. Ranged in rows,
on rudely constructed platforms, were
twelve skeletons, each with tomahawk
and arrow heads at their sides, earrings
and bracelets of solid silver lying where
they dropped, and piles Of what appeared
to have been furs, in the centre of the
platform, each pile crumbling to dust as
soon as exposed to the light. A number
of tools, madc of copper, and hardened
equal to the best cast steel, were also un-
earthed, and fresh discoveries are being
constantly made.
