moralization.

We admit the proposition that the is
sue of paper money by the Government
has caused public decentralization, and
that this is its inevitable effect 1t was
the great cause of the extravaganza and
corruption in the war expenditures. 1t
actually made the belief that the country
was growing richer while the producers
Of one half the country were turned to
the destruction of the producers and pro
perty of the Other half. We have had
articles from sage financial writers, prov
ing that the country had grown rich IN
der this destructIor. Sudden wealth al
most always breaks down all rules OF
economy, either in public or private al,
fairs. We were like beggar who had
suddenl y come to a large estate. There
were not a few among our public finan-
ciers, our legislators, and our public wri-
ters who thought that we had grown
richer on our own expenditures OF bor-
rowed money.
And likewise great rise in prices caus
es decentralization. 1t makes the profits
of speculative so much greater than the
slow gains of regular trade as to draw 1t
all into the fine Of speculation. 1t makes
the profits in all trades so .extravagant,
by the mere rise in stocks on hand, as to
draw the people from productive labor
to trade. 1t thus tends TO diminish pro,
duction. And this over-tradinS and spec;
ulation stimulate the Expansion of credit
and reckless ventures. The failure Of
these bring lax ideas of the pecuniary
obligations created by them. Times oi
great speculation always result in an III
difference to the payment of debts crea
ted by them. ....
We see, also, the laxity of moral:

instead of wearing crinoline wrap their
legs so tightly with garments as to
give them shutting gait. Instead OF
counting the hours of day from 1 to l2,
or from to "a, they begin at noon, call
ing it 9 o'clock, and then 90 backwards,
merging two hours into one, calling the
hours 9, s, I, 6, 8, 4, to the beginning,

SUBsoILING.-The theory of subsoiI
plowing has been frequently explained
IN the Agriculturist, and the practice has
been advocated for the last quarter of
a century. Nevertheless, the use of
snbsoil pIow is rarity on American
farms, and almost always marks really
progressive farmer. The action of a
mole near the surface represents toiera-
bly, well the manner in which a subsoil
plow works, only at such a depth that
little or no elevation of the top soils is
visible, while more ground is moved in
proportion. These plows are usually
employed following in the furrow of q
common plow, and driven as deep as the
team Is capable of drawing them.
Crops upon land thus prepared, are
much more likely to send their roots
deeply, to gain more nutriment, to sus-
tain themselves during drouth and to
mature heavier crops than where subsoil-
ing is not practiced Indeed, the only
circumstances under which subsoil plow
does not work to the advantage of the
crop, is on very light, thin, leechy land,
and where the water stands within g
few inches of the surface. For corn,
potatoes, and other roots, this preparation
is expedient, and for the latter class of
crops especially So Subsoil plows are
of steel and cast iron, and are of eli
ther the lifting or mole patterns. The
lifting subsoil plows may have wing
(Which takes the place of mould-board
in common plows) on one OF both sides
of the standard, There is great diver
sity of sizes, from the admirable little
one-hOrse plows, used to be run between
the rows of root crops and potatoes af-
ter the ground has been compacted by
the horse hoe or cultiyator, to those
requiring team of three or four horses
to draw them. There is not a crop
which the subsoil plow may not greatly
benefit, either in the preparation of the
soil or in the summer culture.

Snow falls every. month OF the year
on tho mountains in Montana, where it
often accumulates to a great depth. 1t
seldom falls in the valleys in any con-

still in places the snow remains OF the

STAKs FROM LIVING CATTLE-A late
letter from .Aberitkat, Abyssinia, to q
London journal, contains confirmation
Of an African practice, the report Of
which has taxed the credulity of the rea-
ders of Bruce. 1t says;
Three OF the officers of the Fourth
Regiment saw the other day, in Fe kadT, :,
an operation which was described by
Bruce, but which has been denied by all
subsequent travellers, and by the Abys-
sinians themselves. This was th5 opera
ton of cutting a steak from the body of
a living OK. They came upon the natives
just as they were in the act of perform
ing it.
The unfortunate bullock was tbrwon
down, and its four legs were tied togeth-
er. The operator then cut an incision
just behind the hip joint. He blew i1te
this to separate the skin from the flesh,
and then cut two other incisions at right
anglesto the first, and then lifted flap Of
skin four or FIVE inches square. From this
he cut out lump offlesh, cutting with the
knife under the skin, so that the amount
of flesh taken ont was larger than the
portion uncovered.
The operator than filed tip The hole
with COW dung, replaced the flap OF skin,
plastered it up with mud, united the fest
of the poor animal, who had kept up
low moaning while the operation was
going on, gave it kick to make it get
up, and the whole thing was over. /
should mention that the operator cut
two or three gashes in the neighborhood
of the wound, apparently as sign that
the animal had been operated upon in
that part. The officer observed that
several of the other cattle of the same
herd marked in precisely sinnilan man
ner. They returned in half an hour,
and found the animal walking about and
feeding quietly. have not mentioned
that it bled very little at the time the
operation was performed.

it, even if such were the fact, and pro-

A French author finding his reputa-
tion impeded by the hostility of the crit
les, resolved to adopt little strategy
t. assist him in gaining fame and money
IN spite OF his enemies. He dressed him
self In workmanlike attire, and repaired
10 distant province, where he took
lodgings at farmers shop, In which he
did a little work every day at the forge
and anvil. Bat the greater part OF his
time was secretly devoted to the conf
posing of three large volumes of poetry
and essays, which he published as the
works Of a journeymau blacksmith. The
poems of this "child of nature" this ''un-
tutOred genius" inspired son of Yul-
can, PAS he was now called, were imme-
diately praised by the critics, and were
soon purchased By everybody. The
harmless deceit filed the pockets of the
poor poet, who laughed to see the crit
les writing incessant praise on an au-
thor whose every former effort they made
a point of abusing.

same party called again, remained
throughout the day, were reinforced by

nightfall, and did not depart till nine
o'clock. The disguSted dealers in blue

THE SwEETWATER COUNTRY.-A gen
tleman writing from the Swee.water
country to a western paper, says that be-
sides its mineral riches there are large
tracts of it adapted to agricultural pur-
poses. Along the Sweetwater, Green
River, Blacks Fork, Hanl's Fork and
the Popo Agies there are large belts of
land suitable for grazing and agriculture.
In the Wind River Valley more than six
ty farms have already been preempted.

Mountains as nothing more than undula-

rocky mounds, for distance of $50 miles
across the range by 200 miles along it,
south from Fremont's Peak.
Along Greene river there is much fine
grazing land, both in the valley and low
ridges which inclose it, and stock live well
through thew winters without being
fed. Down the Swcetwater there are
valleys and table lands here and there.
that would yield handsomely to husband

stream, but not enough to prove detri-
mental to agriculture Fine grass grows
in many of the valleys, and the soil is
sufficiently moist to oobviate the necessity
of irrigation. Timber grows along the
mountains which irclose the valley, but
none upon the table or low lands.

COOPERATION seems to be an out

collapsed some twenty years ago and
it is practical demonstration of few
of The principles of association about
which there had never been any dispute.
Adding to these principles common sense,
practical men have been enabled to carry

marked has been the success, and often

Standard, who was among the passen-

dent, that of a young woman with .
beautiful child of three Years, who had
been riding some miles in the same car
he was in, complained Of being unwell,
and WAS urged to go into the sleeping
car. She went there q few moments be
fore the fatal crash, and, although escap-
ing serious injury herself. her lovely
babe was instantly killed. The agony of
the bereayed mother was fearful to wit
ness. She upbsaided herself; and, IN
her mental anguish, called upon the spec
tators to witness that she was not blame
worthy, for she had never before Ient"r,
ed to travel without Der husband, and
that now, when from home without him
for the first time, their only child was
killed.
