RApIsuEs.-The radish ought to be grown
in every garden and to be found on every
farmers table. 1t is one Of those few things
that are indispensable in every well regulated
family, for it is heathful, as well as palatable.
The radish likes deep, light, rich soil.
Its perfection depends upon its rapid growth
If il grows slowly, it is apt to be tough and
stringy. Give it warm and rich soil, there
fore, and force it ahead by stimulating ma
nures. 1t is a good plan to sow little in
the rows with beet and carrot seed. 1t soon
comes up and marks the rows distinctly be.
fore the main crop gets up, so that the weed
ing can proceed. The radishes will be fit to
pull before the carrots or beets need the room,
and do not interfere with those crops. In
this way, sowing thinly, you can have enough
for the family through the season

How | Raise Cabbage Plants.

Eds Country Gent2emda--l have an old
Sac. EB;a.a with wooden sides for this purpose
lay three sticks under it, neUndcr each end
and one in the middle, so that the pan will be
about eight inches from the ground. fill the
pan with rich clayey top soil mixed with
well rottcd stable manure. Zine seeds, like
cabbage, clover, timothy and flower seeds, do
not catch SO well in sandy soil here) Then
| start fire under the pan and with hoe
or shovel work the contents Of the pan from
one end to the other until it gets thoroughly
heatcd-too hot for my hand f anything
is alive the pan, 1t has to leave or die. In a
four hours it is cool enough to SOW the seeds
Last year sowed my cabbage seeds on the
south side Of my house, not taking time to
prepare the ground on the pan, and through
the middle of warm sunny days, the bugs
worms and flies would come and take their
lunch on the small tender plants Well, they
left me only two plants, This year | took
the pan again, and it is full of nice little
plants it pays very well for extra work.
The pan is placed on the north side Of the
house, for the reason that if the flies aud bug
should come promenadng in the middle of a
fine warm day Of course they would not run
against nature and 60 into the shade when
they wanted the warmth Of the sun. The
sun shines mornings and evenings on to the
pau If the pan were on the south side of
the house, it would dry out more and would
need more watering. 4 SUBSCRIBER.

AGRICULTURAL AND EDUCA.

great change in the forms and objects of
education throughout the country. The
results Of the new training were not yet
far enough advanced 10 definitely decide
as to their value, but it had been ascer-
tanned that the lew form was success.
President Welch, Of the Iowa agricul-
tural college, related the satisfactory re-
suits which had followed tho experiments
Of self-government in the dormitores and
boarding houses This consists of division

OF culprits and the settlement Of disputes.
The speaker had some different views in
relation 70 the question Of manuel labor.
He would have this made ono Of The ele-
monts Of college course, and his own eX-
perience was that the experiment was en-.
tirely ..iuccessful. The women question
had Lever been matter of doubt ith
him, and that he had always been success
full that the element. introduced by wo.
men In schools was one which had made
the government most easy.
President Denison, Of Kansas, discussed
the woman question, and fully agreed with
the previous speaker concerning the ad-
visability Of admitting women.
Prof Falwell, of Minnesota, was On on
thusiast for admitting women.

white men, thirty miles south Of that plac,
killing three and captured three; tho 9th
er two escaped. The captured men have
not been hoard from since.
A mass meeting to consider the questio on
| Of removing the national capital has been
called to be held here, September 18th
Among the signers Of the call are Joseph
Brown, mayor Of the city, Hon. Henry
j. Blow, ex-Gov. Standard, ex-senator
Henderson, Hon. G. A. Finkel, Newburg,
Hon. Erastus Wells, j. B. Fades and Silas
Bent
At the reunion Of ex-confederate sol.
diers ut Ronake, Missouri, on last Wednes-
day, the following resolution were
adopted.
Resolved, That we cheerfully acknowl-
edge the great improvement in our peace,
welfare and political condition
growing out Of the repeal of the late pre-
scriptive test oaths, and we owe TO our lib
eral German fellow-citizens u candid ac-
acknowledgement Of our sense Of gratitude
for their manly share in procuring for US
popular recognition Of our inalienable
rights. That, in the present situation of
affairs in this state, We recognize new or
der Of things, rendering 1t proper for all
men Of progress to turn their backs upon
the past and grasp manfully the duties
and responsibilities OF the future. That
the tranquility Of the southern states and
their usefulness to the public at large can
best be proved by universal amnesty, and
remitting to the people of these states the
same control over their local affairs rs en-.
joyed, without hindrance, by the citizens
OF the northern states. That the material
prosperity Of our republic will be retarded
by laws which discriminate against any
part Of our geographical domain, or which
have tendency 70 destroy the pride of
any portion Of its citizens in the glory Of
our common country. That it is worthy
of true manhood TO remember friendships
and to forget enmities, and, identified as
we must be with the people of Missouri,
it Is our duty to contribute our share to
retrieve for our state and its remotest pos
tority the highest and proudest destiny
attainable by mankind.
THIS resolution were unanimously
adopted.
