Farming.

Wohavc often spoken ofthe impor-
lance and dignity of farming as q
pursuit, and yet, in the face Of the
great Advancement that has been made
in late years, there are too many
farmers who regard themselves as,
literally, "t0HcrS," without promise
of Improvement in the future. We
repeat what We have often said, that
farming is not simply 4 profession,
but of all professions, in its practice,
il embraces the very widest range Of
scientific truths and actual facts, and
it cannot be disputed that In this
pursuit we have afforded the widest
field for the exercise of the analytic
mind. Buthow few ofthose who own
vast acres will ever pause to inquire
into the influences they start 10 work,
or ask concerning the auscs which
lead TO such important results.
AS at present conducted, there IS a
large amount Of very difficult labor
required to be performed in farming.
There ia no excellence attainablc
without effort, and the farmer who
can command the respect Of his fell
low-men and confidence Of the en-
tire community by the success lac
achicycs, has Just cause for pride.
Science and human skill is required
to effect the results we all desire to
see, and when our farmers generally,
with a higher appreciation OF their
capacities, and a truer estimate Of the
results they bring about, will earnest
ly labor TO make their pursuit at
trOctivc and profitable, there will be
the less cause 70. complaint.
The remark o~ft.quotcd is that
farming is the most independent of
the callings of life, This may be
true sometimes, but it is not true in
every case. TO become really sue
ccsSiul in farming, tho latest develop
mcnt Of science bearing on agricul-
lure must be properly estimated.
Care, attention, carncstucss and III
dustry are the qualitics demanded,
and we speak OF this now only to
impress on the minds Of many that
success is altainablc only by unrc-
hitting cXCrtiOn. There must be a
constant desire TO improve, but I'M
fortunately, too many farmers think
that when they attain a certain de-
gree Of success that there is no longer
an incentive or induccment to in
creased cXertion.- Farmers Home

A man in Newark married u
woman who didn't love him by pre-
tending that her lover was dead.
Then he locked up his wife in q strong
room and Woodhull-and- Clanincd
with q mulatto servant and q dashing
widow of 30. Then no ran away to
Boston with the widows daughter,
aged Is. The widow captured him
at q hotel and married him. The
daughter ran away to Chicago with
some one else. Fearing to be in
dicted for bigamy, he fled TO South
America. Tho widow committed
suicide. The long-losL lover came
home, opened a rea l-estate agency
next door to the lady's prison, saw
her, burst open the door with a crow
bar, and now she is looking for a di-
vorcc and a marriage trousscau.
That's pretty fair for Newark, but
they might have made a shark cat
him when he was shipwrecked.

How TO Destroy Flies.

Cobalt, dissolved in water, will de-
stroy them. There is a sticky kind
Of fly paper which catches the flies
by the leg, wing or body, and holds
them until they die, but it is terribly
cruel, and the buzzing of the victims
it catches, is horrible in our ears.
If none of these remedies can be
procured directly, let him try u sim
pier one. Fill half n dozen bowls or
tumblcrs Il little more than two
thirds full, with strong soap suds.
Fit u paper tightly over the mouth,
bending it down all around the sides,
and tic il with a string. Cut u hole
two inches in diameter in the middle
OF the payer, and smear the whole
under surface of il with thick mo-
%lasses, leaving II little trace on the
outside to draw the flies. Every
hour or SC rap on the outside of the
paper andi it will throw the flies into
the suds, and many will fall down
without being raped. Tho whole
tumbler will be filled in a day If the
flies swarm badly. Renew it every
morning or night, else it will become
noxiOus.
Flies breed in horses stables; car
bolic acid, if well sprinklcd about Il
stable or drain, will dcodorizc the
place and kill the flies.
If muSquito netting is fitted into
the windows on movable frames, and
wire netting doors arc made to the
outside doors the flies will be forced to
keep out. The wire netting is moro de-
sirablc than the cotton, for il will last
for years. Paint it green and it will
not rust out. ..
a common country way Of dis
Of flies, is TO suspend two
shingles in u window, with cords run
gimlct holes, and a wedge
put near the top 10 keep the boards
apart; they are then smearcd with
nolasses, aud when black with flies
The wedge is removed, aud the shin
sles are clappcd together, making
nincc-meat of many of them. II is
/ disgusting process TO us. Catching
tumblers is far neater and more
desirable, but where they cAist in
such quantities any process may be

REAL ESTATE DISTRIBUTION OF MEM
PHIs.--A SHORT PosTPoNEMENT.-Sat-
isfactory reasons to the Managers Of the
Real Estate Distribution of Memphis,
cause them to ask Of the public the in
diligence of short postponement. Our
scheme is one Of magnitude. To success
fully get through with it has required
the establishment OF Agencies through
out the United States. This has been
done; but more time has been necessary
to do so than at first supposed. We are
now in working order, from New York
to San Francisco. The drawing comes
Off on AUGUST 3lsT, without fail. By
that date we will have realized our most
sanguine expectations, and will render
tho public that satisfaction we have al
ways designed to give. Our offices ev-
erywhcre will continue open until then.

.Giic, was ono of u committee APP
pointed in February 10 consider the
best means of disposing Of tho half
buried OF unburiod corpses around
Paris after its capitulation. His re-
port on the subject is very lively.
These corpscs, it appears, came be-
tween the wind and the Prussian no.
bility, and u%nplcasantly tainted the
air. NJ. dc Bismarck was the more
pressing to get rid OF the nuisance,
because the Partisan journalists were
referring to il with some satisfaction,
and promising the German troops Il
pcstiiencc which should destroy
them under the very walls of Paris.
A commission of Sdr0nS was
named, and, for want of any other
conveyance, they were providcdwith
mudicipal mourning coaches with
the drivers in throc-cOrncrcd hats
and full uniform. They started for
yilliers and Champigny, and made a
report. The ultimate recommended
ton was, that the bodies should not
be cxhumcd, but that the trenches
containing them should be covered
with a layer of soil not more than
two feet deep, and that they should
be sown with the seeds of rapidly
growing plants-mustard plant, sun
dowcr, or quickly growing grassos
which could he used as green food
for cattle. .gi
They particularly recommended
the sunllower rs a precious plant"
for the purpose, as having a great
power of absorbing the heterogeneous
matters in which the soil would be
so rich, rs yielding an excellent
oil from its seed, good forage from
its leaves, and having q cOmbustiblc
stalk which can be used in the do
nestle fireplace.
