THE EFFEcTs OF APPLICATION.


Mr.. j. j. jackson, near Ypsilansi
says that few years ago he purchased
a poor sandy farm. and went in debt
for it, resolved to make it pay for itself,
and has done it. +, i......h ....,.
He raises to sell, wheat, cloycrseed
wool and pork. If there is failure in
the price of one Of those articles, there
Is usually q corresponding rise in The
price OF one of the others. This year
he has 10 bushels OF cloycrseed to sell.
six years ago he planted field of corn.
ana did not get enough to pay for till
ing the ground. This year he again
planted the same ground, and had an
excellent yield. In the meantime he
had given it two dressings of lcached
ashes, seeded it with clover, and when
he turned the clover under, gave the
land dressing of so loads of manure to
the acre. He uses all the ashes he can
get. .a,,,,,,r -t.,5t. se lr

READING AND DOING.

Read and do; read and practice what
you read, or else your reading will do
you no good. He that hath good book
in his hand, but not lesson of it in his
heart or life, is like the ass that carries
rich burdens and feeds OIL thistles. In
the divine account, n man knows no
more than he doeth. Profession, with
out practice, will but make man twice
told child of darkness. To speak well,
is to sound like cymbal; bu. to do
we'll, is to act like an angel. lie that
practices what he reads and under
stands, God will help him to understand
what he understands not. John I: 16,
IL. There is no fear of knowing too
much, though there is much fear of
practicing too little. The most doing
man should be the most knowing man.

WALL PAPER SUPERSEDED.


According to the Boston Transcript.
man il Cambridge, Mass, has made
new invention by which wood hang
ings will take the place of paper. The
Transcript says:
"a very delicate, simple and beauti-
full machine has been constructed which
will take portion of tree, after il has
been cut the right length and width,
and shave it up into thin ribbons as wide
as roll of house paper, making one
hundred and fifty to the inch. These
rolls Of wood are placed on the walls by
paperhangers with paste and brush,
precisely in the some manner with pa
per. The wood is wet when used, and
really works easier than paper, because
it is much more tough and pliable. In
these days, when variety is sought for,
one can finish the walls of his house in
different woods to suit his taste. One
room can be finished in birds eye ma
pie, another in chestnut, another in
cherry, another in whitewood, and SO
on. Thus he has no imitation, but the
real, genuine article upon his walls. :"

HOW TO PRODUCE sroNELEss FRUIT,

At a late meeting of the Agricultural
Society of India, the Rev. Mr. Firnin-
gar preduceda plan by which the stones
| OF fruit may be reduced or made to dis
appear, and the pulp increased i'm size
and flavor. AT any time in the cold
season select branch that is to be used
afterwards for marching. Split it zip
carefully somewhat less than span
long. From both halves of the branch
thhs split, scoop out cleanly all the
pith then bring the split halves to-
gctlier again, and keep them bandaeed
tili they have become thoroughly unit
ed AT the usual time, the beginning
OF the rains, march the branch thus
treated upon suitable stock, taking for
the place of union the portion of tho
oranch just below where the split was
made Upon branch of the tree thus
produced a similar operation is tins
performed, and SO on for successive Sea.
sons, the result being that the stone of
the 1ruit thus becomes less and less af-
ter each successive operation This
process has been applied likewise to the
grape VINE in Malaga, and plants there
py nave been produced which bear tho
linest ir'lit, without the slightest yes-
lage OF a stone within them.--Miniu

F The Practical Farmer saws an
excellent plan to keep off the cut worm
is to drop about tablespoonful of
coarse salt on the top of the hill soon
aiter planting the corn. This is carried
aown by the rains, and acts as a ferti.
ilzer besides. Salt is peculiarly obnox-
ious TO this class of insects, and per-
maps all classes. Instead Of puttino
the salt on the hill, some farmers spread
about eight bushels to the acre broad
cast upon the corn fields after plough
ing and before narrowing. This is al
so very profitable application. Firm
