Such thorough til.age is itself more

his land thoroughly and IN good season.
This thorough ti:lage set free the latent
plant-food in the soil. Tie :clover took
root and organized it INTO food for
sheep. The sheep extracted the fat
from the clover, hay, and left nitrogen
and mineral matter in the manure heap.
So of the corn, straw and stalks. They
all found their way back to the land,

understand why his land is vastly more
productive than wien it first came into
his possession. Understanding, good
culture and good manure Will make any

b Dr.. Bond thus touches popularity
ofthe negro race:
+ "But as yet negroes showno passion
for work among negroes. Their philan.
thropy inevitably. take ga tangential di.
rection toward white society. Unlike
Noses who abandoned the cultivated
Egyptians to devote his educated
talents to his own rude people, tho
educated 'lNmericsn negro finds in his
education only claim for separation
from his race and presumption of nearer
resations to ours AS soon as negro
becomes physician he wants to doctor
white people, TO associate with white
doctors to be IN negroed by his dipiv"
ma."
The Rev. Sella Martin, for instance,
cannot bear The idea OF having TO go to
churches and theatres where there are
none but negroes; whereas white
man always wants to attend snch places
in company with whites only
The negroes can never be respected until
they respect themselves. They have
The same right as the whites to build
churches, hotels, and theatres. Let
them do 60, and let them exclude the
whites. That's the way 10 get even
with us.--Richmond Dispatch. "a
The Use OF SALT IN AgRlcULruRE.
Whether common salt is of any value
to plants, is still amooted question, and
one that finds advocates on both sides.
The luxuriant growth OF marsh meadow
grass is taken as a proof that salt water
must be favorable and farmers attempt
10 initiate this state of things by putting
salt on the grass without reaeotng that
all other conditions are omitted in tho
experiment.. They are generally aston.
isied TO find that the grass is killed,
instead OF being promoted. in its growth.
It is a remarkable fact, that this same
salt marsh grass, ON analysis. is found
TO contain very lit le soda, but to have
Its full 4 complement .o( potash. This
would seem to Indicate that it had
grown in spite ofthe salt. rather than in
consequence Of it. According to some
recent researches made in France,
potash is a hundred times moTe valuable
