ADVANTAGES OF LATE FLOWING DOUBTLESS,
some will disagree with me, for farmers like
doctors, sometimes disagree However, we
do not pretend to say that there are not some
few objections to fall blowing, yet we think
it more beneficial than injurious for the fol-
lowing reasons
First, the old ground (and much Of the
land under cultivation in this State is Of this
class, is infected with a large white and
smaller brown grub worm. If these are not
destroyed in some way, they do immense
damage to the corn crop, especially during the
early part Of the season When the ground
is plowed late in the fall, we think the freez-
ing destroys these pests. If this is not the
case we are at a loss TO account for this fact
viz: Corn stands better on fall plowed land.
a second advantage, we think, is this
The freezing and thawing pulverizes TIE soil
and softens the sub-soil, thus preparing
the ground for cultivation the next year
A third, and by DO means small advantage,
is this Ground plowed late in the fall very
often requires good narrowing to fit it for
planting in the spring. As a matter of course,
if there should be many heavy rains. this
statement would not hold good but in an
average loose soil, and in an ordinary season.
we think it will work very we'll
4 few of the advantages, then. of fall
blowing may be summed up as follows 1t
destroys the worms, pulverIzes soil the more
fully than spring blowing without it will do,
and enables the farmer, in many cases, to do
part of bis blowing in the fall, and thus
prevents too great rush Of spring work

TIE Accurate BoY.-There was a young
man once in the Office of a Western rail-
way superintendent. lie wa, occupying
a position that four hundred boy, ia thar
city would have liked TO get. II was
honorable and it paid well, besides be-
Ing in the line of promotion. How did
he get it Not by having rich father,
for he was the son of a laborer. The secret
was his beautiful accuracy. He began as
an errand boy, and did MS work accurate
". Ills leisure time he used ID perfect
ing his writing and arithmetic After
awhile he learned to telegraph. At each
step his employer commended his accuracy,
and relied on what he did because he wa,
Just right.
And it Is thus with every occupation.
The accurate boy is the favored one.
Those who employ men. DO not wish TO be
on the constant lookout. as though they
were rogues or fools If carpenter mus
stand at his iourneyman's elbow t. BE sure
that his work is right, or if a cashier must
turnover his ok-keeper's column. he might
as well do the work himself as employ an.
other to do it in that way; and it is very
( certain that the employer will get rid O
such an inaccurate workman a. soon as he
can.

FECUNDITY OF VEGETABLES II, az stated
on good authority, 100 bushels OF shelled
corn have been raised per acre, 20 bushels Of
wheat, 50 Of rye, 100 of oats, 1000 Of
potatoes, 500 Of ruta baga, 400 pounds OF
pumpkins from a single yine,-One is en-
abled to form some idea Of the wonderful
productiveness Of farm vegetables.
It IS stated 3 600 grains Of oats have been
produced from q single cat it Is moreover
said that nearly 5000 grains were produced
in ireland by % stalks, all sprlnglnL from
one seed Of the variety called the potato oats.
Had these been sown the following season
and been equally prolific, $4,000, 900 Of grains
would have been produced: and these,
multiplying again IN the same ratio, would
produce a crop of about 3j0,OO0 bushels
Sir Kenelm Digby asserts that in 1860
there was IN the possession Ut the jesuit
fathers Of Paris, plant OF barley, which
they at the time kept as great curiosity,
and which consisted of 10 stalks, sprlnglng
from one root of grain, which produced Is,
600 grains OF barley. Also the same authOrI-
~ states that 57G, $40 grains Of wheat, or II
lis, and ION, measuring 3 "a pecks, were
produced the second year,-a very great III
crease.

He has given away SO eighty-acre farms to
his children and relatives, and they are
all located near him. As stock raiser he
has had great success, and it is said he never
sold but two loads Of corn in market. In
the last ten years he has raised 1000 bushels
Of corn, and he has bought as much more for
feeding purposes. He has now on the place
over POO head of cattle, 10 head of hogs and
70 sheep. lie says his experience of 40
years farming in Illinois, teaches him that
it is far more profitable to feed grain than to
sell it; and by following up this rule he
has made large fortune. Mr.. Kitterman

TOUCHING LOVE AND GRIEF OF Doc -
Perhaps a. affecting an occurrence Of its
kind as ever witnessed was the action of
the dog Pinch, owned by the late Hold
Morse, Of Memphis, who was shot recent
", upon being shown the body Of its dead
master, as it lay upon board, Sunday
morning, preparatory to being placed in
the coffin Everybody who knew Hod
knew Pinch, for they were inseparable
An iron-gray dog, of the Scotch terrier
breed, he was noted for his sagaclty and
fighting qualities.
/ On Sunday morning, a friend Of Holds
for the first time took the dog into the room
where the remains were. \ number Of
Morse's friends were present at the time,
and can vouch for the accuracy Of the
story. When let into the room, Pinch let
his head fall to the floor, and, with slow
steps, walked directly across to where Hold 5
body was lying Stopping by the body, be
raised his head and began low, monoto-
nous howl While uttering these piteous
bowls, Pinch would from time to time
look around at the different men present,
a. if making mute appeal to be allowed
to have access TO the body. Noticing this,
one Of the men took chair and placed it
by Holds head. As soon as it was placed
in position. the dog jumped upon the chair,
and with his fore paw brushed the cloth
from his masters face. After he had re-
moved the cloth, he threw one leg over
Holds breast while he laid his face on that
Of his master, and rubbing it over "a few
times, commenced licking II, as If DESTROYS

Seeing that this did not have the desired
effect, Pinch stopped, and looking into

The BLESSING of To-Day.

Strange, we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced birds have flown;
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
As when the winters snowy pinions
shake the white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal OF silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed of such beauty
rs adorns the mouth today;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to Us in sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let Us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting ont the thorEs and chan
Let US find our sweetest comfort
In the blessing Of to day,
With a patient hand removing
Al the briars from our way.

That all must die,
The summer wild flower, blooming Tor some inde

That life must end
Thus, neither beauteous birds nor flowers, giving
