Land Drainage.

An article in Coleman's Rural World,
signed ''R. III. An hits the nail On the
head, when it says that thorough drain
age of land is the only security the farm
er has against loss by too much rain, or
a want of it," Some deem it an absurd
ity TO assert that draining the water from
the soil can be beneficial to crops, during
a protracted drouth, yet such is the fact,
Us every one knows who has tested the
matter on soils where the texture was
such as to hold the water u foot or more
below the surface, Such land, before
draining becomes baked and hard no
fertilizing influences come up to invig-
crate the roots and develop plant growth;
but draw this water off, and speedy
change for nle better will he seen in the
character of the soil, and in the plants

the ci.untry is more and more divested
of its forest coverings, the drier will be
the iructifying season, ami the greater
the necessity of drainage to counteraet
the influence of dreuth. But the benefit
OF drainage does not stop here, for, in
the event of wet spring, seeding can
be forwarded two or three weeks as a
consequence of it, while vegetation will
be aided during the entire season, what
ever its character may be.

ed Americans. Already, the nerves ano
brains of our people ara taxed beyond
endurance. On every hand, we see
frightful evidences of this in the increase
of paralysis, insanity, attenuation, nerve
disease in every form; We see our people
as they get into the harness oflife, aban'
doning all relaxation and amusement

about the proper observance of this
divine day, whether they advocate the
practices of Catholic Rome, or Puritan

day of rest. We hold it to be vital

for the Aoune FOLKS
Remember. Boys.
BY G. II. BARNES.

Little friends when you are at play on the street,
Halffrantic with frolic, and laughter. and nsise
Don't ever forget to bow when you meet
When you meet an old man with gray hair,
my boys.
II the old man is feeble. decrepid, and lame,
And leans on his staff with unsteady poise,
Ne'er mock at his sorrow, but stop in your game.
And bow to the man with gray hair, my Doys.
II he sometimes halts in his tottering pace,
To witness the flow of your innocent joys,
Don't jostle the old man out of his place,
But greet his gray hairs with a bow. my boys:
Remember the years are only few
Since he on the street with his games and toys.
Was as healthy, and happy. and active as you
And bright as the sun were his curls, my boys
But age has furrowed the cheek that was fair;
And sorrows have broken his once mellow
voice:
And now there is many a silvery hair
On the brow where the curls were so bright,
my boys.
The hey-day of youth is gem-it is gold,
But time all its beautiful luster destroys;
And, gay little friends, if you live to be old,
Your steps will be slow, your locks gray, my
boys.
So when you are blithely at play on the street,
Half frantic with frolic, and laughter, and
noise,
Remember, and pleasantly bow when You meet
When you meetan old man with gray hair,
my boys.

prayer-meetings. Not long since, at one
of those meetings, some one rose and
stated that the Erring Women's Refuge,
in that city, was in great need, and ask
ed the prayers of the congregation in its
behalf One of Chicago's richest men,
who is said to be somewhat minute in
his contributions to benevolent objects,
volunteered at once to lead the meeting
in a prayer in behalf of the institution
named. He had scarcely closed, when
Mr. d. L. Moody got to his feet, and said
that it was wrong for us to ask God to
to do what he had given us the power to
do ourselves. "The idea," said he, "oi
q man who can draw a chech for one
hundred thousand dollars asking God to
give money to the Erring Women's
Refuge is preposterous! Let him give it

THE inquiry is often made by farmers

The inquiry is often made by farmers,
brewers, beef and pork packers, ETC.,
regarding the best method of deodoriz-
ing and cleansing old cider and beer bar
rels, musty cans, bottles, etc. Chemistry
furnishes an agent in the Permanganate
of potassa which fully meets this want.
a pint of the permanganate turned into
the most musty, filthy cider or beer cask
and rinsed about few moments will
entirely decompose all fungoid growths
and fermenting matter, and render the
cask as sweet as those that are new

equivalents of oxygen, is wonderful it
will even deodOrize carbolic acid. The
only way to remove Immediately the
odor of carbolic acid from the hands is
to immerse them in the liquid perman-

do not mean that they would have been

many others far from agreeable, some of
them absolutely painful; others still,
which were naturally strong and smooth

What sheep1shaiI w. R.,se.

There is one Important consideration
in favor of every farmers breeding NUT
ton sheep, especially Southdowns, or
their crosses-that is, the well known
fact, that in no other way eau he pro-
duce meat SD cheaply, or of so good and
healthful quality.
1t was strange and most unaccount-
able thing to see most of our farmers last
autumn eating pork worth eighteen to
twenty cents per pound and selling sheep
as low as.a a dollar head. They had not
been educated to eating mutton-if they
once had taste of good Southdown il
would require very little education to
make them mutton eaters. For fresh
meat in summer there is nothing that 1.
farmer can so conveniently manage as
mutton.
3 For these reasons it would seem obvi-
Gus that upon farms adapted to mixed
the best and most convent
ent practice, as well as the most profit
able, would be to breed few mutton
ewes. Whether the times be good or
bad, we can never afford TO breed from
poor or inferior blood.-I Buckeye, in
Delaware Gazette.
