@sF~ram~ erRe soil.

Now that the subject Of thorough
Cultivation" is being agitated, let us
thoroughly analyze the point Every
BODY knows that saw-dust is a non-con-
ductor of heat. A lump Of ice will keep
all day in hot August sun, if covered
two or three inches with saw-dust. How
is this? Why, very plainly, because heat,
like a railway train or an old wagon, must
have good road to travel upon, else the
speed is slow. Now, the roughpess and
disconnection of the particles of the saw
dust, render it Is most perfect non-conduc-
tor of heat; hence saw-dust is a good
mulch, by keeping the soil underneath
cool, it is consequently moist, for the rea-
son that evaporation proceeds slowly.
We cannot very well mulch our corn
fields with saw-dust-but We can make
saw-dust, to all intents and purposes, out
of the soil, that will make just as good d
mulch upon the very same principle
How, Why, stir the soil break it up In
to uery fine peices after every rain Gas soon
as it il dry enough to work and the dry
err the weather, the finer and deeper we
must pound our mulch-because If the
particles are not pretty fine, the air spaces
between the particles will be large, conse-
quently less in number, and the heat will
have the fewer steps to jump, and will get
through all the quicker. / believe that,
with contiguous and thorough cultivation
during our annual drouths, we may be-
come comparatively Independent Of dry
weather But, let the soil remain after
hard rain without stirring; if it then
should set in dry, the result is this The
soil, being run together by the rain, forms
q good conductor for the heat the harder
the soil, the better the conductor it is
hence, as the heat goes down, the evapo-
ration takes out the moisture.
Think Of the surface of the soil being
up to 1862, Fahrenheit (at it is here to-
day, Aug. 25); with good conducting con-
ditiOn, how long will it take to dry twelve
inches deep? Not long, surely. We are
in severe drouth just at this time, and
on examination where the soil was
not well cultivated, it is hard to find moist
soils at six or eight inches-but, where
the soil il well stirred, from two to two
and-a-half inches, is found good growing
moisture. ''The proof of the pudding is
in the eating" Let everybody try it.
w. H. r. Springfield, no.
REMARKs-The principle laid down
here, is correct. Here, as in every other
operation, judgement is required, because
both mulching and cultivation may be
carried to excess, and they may be con-
, founded as being synonyms. In the
corn-feld the pillow can be put in too deep
iy, among the grooming corn, and. the injury
inflicted on the roots be equally, or more,
fatal to the crop than the drouth. The
uniform stirring of the soil is point of
vast Importance, but the thorough, deep
preparation of the soil, is the best perform
before the crop il put into the soil at all.

WHAT KooPMANscAP PROPOSES TO DO


From the Associated Press Report.
Mr.. G. Koopmanschap, who proposes
to visit the Southern States for the pur-
pose of entering into contracts to supply
Chinese laborers, arrived here yesterday
from New York, and left this morning
for Memphis, Tennessee, and after making
contracts there will visit New Orleans and
other parts of the South. He will ad-
dress the Commercial Convention to meet
at Louisville on the 10th of next month,
and leaves San Francisco on the 4th of
November for China, to obtain laborers
he will have contracted to furnish up to
the time of his departure Mr.. Koop-
manschap disavOws any intention of be-
coming connected with the cooiie trade,
and states that his object is merely to in
troduce free Chinese labor into this coun-
try. These Chinese, he states, Will come
to this country of their own free will, in
order to better their condition, and with
the full knowledge and consent of the
Chinese authorities. The coolies, he
states, receive but 81 per month, while
the Cinnamon whom he will bring here
will receive $40 and SIS per month and
AAS HdS ISC0ullN l0UO Il
contract with the Texas Land Company
to supply them with FIVE thousand China
men to work on the lands owned by that
company at eight to ten dollars per month
and found, and with several railroads in
Texas for laborers on the roads at fifteen
dollars per month found. He has al
ready supplied the Central Pacific railroad
with Chinese laborers, and holds certif-
Gates from the officers of the road as to
the faithful manner in which the China
men worked He will return from China
about March or April next with five or
six thousand laborers, who will go to work
on the railroads and plantations of the
South, and ifboth planters and Cinnamon
shall be satisfied, second cargo will be
brought.
MIR. k yesterday had an interview
with Secretary Boutwell,, who informed
him that he would not be interfered with
in his enterprise of bringing Chinese la
borers to this country provided he did not
violate the law Mr.. X represented
to the Secretary that the laborers to be
imported by him would come of their
own free will, understanding what they
are to receive, ETC., before leaving China.
The Cinnamon receive only about two or
three dollars per month in their own
country, and are anxious to come here,
where they can get much better pay.

Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
intermittent Fever, or Fever and AGue.
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the VIII ole class of diseases Originate
ing in hillary derangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries
We are enabled here to offer the eommuntya
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless IN any
quantity Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, If taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premOnitOTy symptoms. 1t Is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings IT within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUR prevails, every body should
have it and il freely both for cure and pTotec
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermttents is that it contains no Quinne
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Go'a, Headache, Blind
NESS Toothaehe EarGehe, CGta8rh, asthma, Pal
pitatio,l, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hyster
les Pain an, the Bo1UeLs, Colo, Paralysis and De-
yanqeDelt of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type or become periodical. This g CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike 1t is invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sonally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity TO rIpen into dis
ease Hence 1t is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few viii ever suffer from Inter
mittents If they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

PROFITS OF SMALL INVENTIONS. Hi
ram Tucker lately applied for an extern
ton of his patent for spring bottom.
The invention consisting in supporting
the ends of wooden Stats on stirrup
springs. 1t appeared from the patentee's
sworn statement that he had cleared in
profits from his patents over one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars. Judge
Fisher the commissioner of patents, deci-
ded that the invention was not one of
great importance to the public, that the
patentee had not expended an extraordi-
nary amount Of time, ingenuity or ex-
pense on the invention, and that the profits
already made were an adequate compen-
sation. The application was therefore re-
jected.

Professional Base BaIIers---Hansi-
some Salaries.

A correspondent writes that the famous
"Red Stockings" of Cincinnati are the
salaried members of society comprising
over five hundred honorary members, who
defray all the expenses of the club, amount
ing to about twenty thosand dollars
year and so far as their citizenship is con-
cerned, the only one who claims Cincin-
natti as his residence is Mr. Gould
George Wright and Harry Wright, the
trainers of the club, come from the East,
but were born in England, and have some
notoriety as excellent cricketers. Allison
is from Philadelphia, and McVey and
Sweazy hail from New York. We have
endeavored to ascertain what salary each
of them is paid, in order to settle many
discussions which have arisen on the sub
ject
One of the members of the Red Stock
ing acknowledged that his salary was $50
per week, but that he had averaged $50
from presents made to him. The catcher
and pitcher earn salary equal to 81, 500
per annum, while Mr.. Harry Wright has
larger salary as captain of the nine.
The Red Stockings are, ofcourse, regu-
larly trained daily-one day making it a
specially to bat, the next to field, &c. The
weight of the Red Stockings members
range from 165 pounds upward.
Allison, catcher of the ''Red Stockings"
through whose efforts, in the main, the
game was won, is a remarkable player,
and, beyond question, the best catcher in
the United States Endowed with unpar-
alleled quickness of sight and movements,
he stands behind the batter, almost touch
ing him, and woe be to the ball that is not
fairly struck, for he will catch it often
times within few inches of the bat, and
yet he never interferes with the batter
So far az the social status of the gentle
men composing the cred Stockings" nine
is concerned, they are intelligent and clev-
er gentlemen, several of whom are mar
rie1 and who have left clerkships and 9TH
er occupations to take to base-balling in
order to crafty their enthusiasm in the
game, and at the same time, follow re-
munerative occupation.
The RED Stockings" Club is presided
over by Mr.. Champion, a wealthy mer-
chant of Cincinnati Another club is
being raised in that city, with capiatl of
S25, 900, to organize nine that viii beat
them.
