Mr.. Rankin's Lecture.

The lecture by Mr. Rankin, the new
Secretary Of the Board of Edcation, on
Friday evening Of last week, was highly
satisfactory, and listened to by an appre-
ciative, though not so large an audience
as ought to have been present. The lee
ture was excellent in matter, and abound
ed in strong points, and we think cannot
fail to secure for the new secretary cor
dial reception in the State. The people
owe it to the cause of education and to
themselves to give him cordial support.
His first Teachers Institute in this part
of the State was held this week at West
minister, a brief report of which will be
found in another place.

The STEAM PLow.-This machine, as CT

The STEAM PLow.-This machine, as con-
structed by the English inventor, Fawkess,
was recently the subject of some important
experiments at the Agricultural Society 8
exhibition at Leicestershire, England. The
steam plow is described as follows: A loco
motive engine, with wheel tires twenty inch
es wide, stands at one side of the field. At
the opposite side stands movable anchor
which carries horizontal windlass wheel,
four feet in diameter. A similar. wheel,
with an arrangement for clasping a wire
rope, stands horizontally under the boiler Of
the. engine. A steel wire rope passes a.
round these two wheels, and for clasp to
its two ends it has double set of gang
plows or cultivator teeth, as the case may
be. One set of plows turns afurrow to the
right and the other to the left. Movingin
one direction, one set of plows is in work
and the other is elevated above the ground.
nlreturning in the other direction their po-
sitions are reversed. At the trial in Eng
land the plow cut the sod up to the depth
of nine inches, and thoroughly scattered the
soil at the rate of one acre per hour. The
price of the entire apparatus is $3540 in
gold, requires the assistance of three men
and two boys, and takes bite into. the sur
face Of the ground forty inches wide.

THE DUrcHMAN's TRICK.

While Dutchman was passing through q
city in Vermont, Yankee came up to him
and said, "Shon, if you treat to the cider,
will learn you a trick" Shon agreed.
Yank then placed his hand against fence
and told him to strike it as hard as he
could. Shon, not thinking that any harm
could befal him by doing so, struck q
blacksmith's blow, but instead of hitting
Yank's hand, the latter jerking it way
poor Shon struck the fence board, knock
ing it off. sMein Gott in himmel!'' crieG

Poor Shon was bound to have revenge
so one day, as he was passing through {
field, he espied a man. Going up to hin
he said, "Mynheer, I show you one littl'
trick for nodding." AS there was no fenc'
or tree near, Shon put his hand against hi
mouth and said, "Strike yust so hard a

MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIoN.-Edit.
ors Southern Culiuator Il think the right
move, in the right direction, is about to be
made. You ask your subscribers to give
their experience, in farming, this year.
hope every farmer will cheerfully come for
ward and respond.
I consider this about the only way by
which farmers may gain the best of infor.
nation in farming. Let every man give
his whole experience with all the different
farm products, nature of soil, too much OF
too little rain, in fact, euery thing connected
with the making Of crops.
Let the Culiuator be your store house Of
information, from which you may draw
monthly, and be sure to replenish its gar
ners monthly, and I think you can ther
sleep soundly at night.
The South can be independent in farm
products, If she soiu only try. We want
each others experience. Here is the roac
open.
We will be an impoverished people az
long as we act so selfshly and carelessly
We are selfish, in not giving our best plar
in making the best crops. We are careless
in not advising those, who take so little in

NOSE BLEED.

There are two little arteries which sup
ply the whole face with blood, one on each
side; these branch off from the main arte-
ries on each side of the windpipe, and run
ming upward toward the eyes, pass over the
outside of the jaw bone, about two-thirds OF
the way back from the chin to the angle Of
the jaw, under the ear. Each of these ar.
teries, of course, supplies just one-half the
face, the nose being the dividing line; the
left nostril is supplied with blood by the
left artery, and the right nostril by the
right artery. Now, supposing your nose
bleeds from the right nostril; with the end
of the right fore finger, feel along the outer
edge of the right jaw until you feel the
beating Of the artery directly under your
finger, the same as the pulse in your wrist,
then press the finger hard upon it, thus
getting the little fellow in tight place be.
tween your finger and the jaw-bone; the
result will be that not one drop of blood
goes into that side Of your face while the
pressure continues hence, thenose instant.
ly stops bleeding for want of blood to flow
continue the pressure for five or ten min.
utes, and the ruptured vessels in the nose
will by that time probably contract so that
when you let the blood into them they will
not leak. Bleeding from cut or wound
anywhere about the face may be stopped in
the same way. The Creator probably
placed these arteries as they are, that they
might be controlled. Those to the back Of
the head, arms, and legs, are all arranged
very conveniently for being controlled in

TIE MARE IS MINE Now--An old gen.
tlsman had an only son, and concluded to
put all his property into his hands, on con.
dition he would maintain him. As they
had but one horse, the father rode and the
SON walked to the Justices Office 70 get the
business done. The writings were drawn
and executed, and the son pat the deeds in
his pocket. The old gentleman then walk
ed out of the room, and was in the act Of
mounting, when John steps up, takes the
bride out of his hand and rides of, saying,
sFather, the mare is mine, and left the
poor old man to Hudge home alone.
Next day the father, who kept his sorrow
to himself, was sitting before blazing fire,
when he called his son and exclaimed,
"Johnny, hare been thinking of some
more property which was omitted in the
deed yesterday, and don't know whether
it is best to give it to you now, or wait
till have done with it.
-atsoh," said the son, "the deeds have not
,beens sent away to the register and it is
best that the business should all be done
together"
ssWell, then," says the father, 'get the
papers" The son hastened to his old bu-
reau and brought them to him. The father
asked If they were all? eyes, says John,
and then he tucked them under the fore
stick and turning round, cries out. ''John-
ny, the mare is mine now"
