OUR GYPSUM BEDS.

1t is well known to all old residents
of the State that gypsum exists in in
exhaustible quantities on our western
border. In abiding to this fact the
Kansas Farmer for April remarks:
I'VE may not feel tie want of this
important element in the soil TO any
considerable extent as yet; but the day
is no, lar distant when We will have TO
resort IL gypsum, as our cheapest and
most valuable manure. Even to-day.
we do not believe there is farmer in
the State but what would be benefited,
to some extent, by the use of this ar
ticle upon his land, especially i'll dry
seasons. To those who have even our
prairie grass under fence, we believe it
would pay to use this article, ii it could
be laid down at the farm At an expense
of not more than three dollars per bar
rel. When there shall be demand for
gypsum to justify it, there will be mills
erected for grinding it; and it can, no
doubt, be furnished at much cheaper
rates.
The Michigan Agricultural Society
made an experiment III 1868 with gyp-
sum, on piece of clover which was
sowed aud moved once i'll 1867. The
gypsum was used at the rate of only
two bushels per acre, and the expert
ment was conducted with great exact
ness i'll all respects; and the result
showed gain i'll favor of gy psu,n, ovel
the ground of which none was used, oil
twelve hundred pounds per acre; aud
it must be recollected that the effects oil
the gypsum are continued for two OIL
three years at least.
Our own Agriculture College will in
stiIute this year experiments with this
fertilizer, and we are satisfied the re-
suits will be highly favorable"

A SUNDAY REFORM.

Sunday advertising in the Chicago
papers, has for a long time been more
profitable to the prOprietors than that
of any other day in the week. In fact,
it has been the day OH which the real
estate men aud merchants made their
big displays in the papers of that city.
This course, by keeping up the excite
has done much harm. There is enough
in this day of money-getting-of rush
to get rich, to attract the attention of
the people to business matters and
speculations, without making the Sab
bath a sort of gala day for that purpose.
Hence we are glad TO notice the move
nent now being made in Chicago to
put stop to it in that city, where it
has been carried on to greater extent,
perhaps, than at any other place in the
country. BY a card published in the
papers, we see that ninety-three real
estate firms have agreed to discontinue
their advertising on Sunday, sin the
belief that it tends to prevent the prop
err observance of the Christian Sabbath,
and that the moral, religious and bust
ness interests of the city demand its dis
continuance" 1t is stated that the dry
goods dealers will also discontinue their
Sunday advertising. To say nothing
of the scruples in favor of Sabbath
keeping, nature demands one day in
the week for rest-rest not only for
the body, but rest for the mind from
worldly thoughts and worldly cares. Ii
the fever of excitement oyer business
matters is kept up on the Sabbath, as
through the week, the person depri-
wing himself of the rest which the sa-
cred day was intended to give him, suf-
fers. This is true of communities as
well as individuals. Paris Is good IL
lustration of this. There they have no
Sabbath. Sunday papers, coming fresh
with news, flaming advertisements of
great bargains, and market and gold re-
ports, tend to keep the mind excited
and draw it away from the channel
which the Creator intended it should
follow on this appointed day of rest.
Blackstone is quoted as saying, in effect,
that the nation or individual having no
Sabbath, would be immoral. There is
but one steps difference between keep
ing open store on the Sabbath, aud
selling goods as on any other day, and
making n speciality of attracting public
attention to goods by flaming advertise
mcnls OIL that day alone; and there j.
but one step between keeping open
stores and abolishing the Sabbath alto
gether. We are glad to see that the
Chicago business men are making this
move in the right direction" They
will undoubtedly do as much business
as ever, besides contributing TO their
own length of years, case of mind, aud
the public morals of their city.

a LADY APPOINTED on THE STATE
BOARD OF CHARITIES AND Reform IN
WIscoNsIN.-An act was passed by the
last legislature of Wisconsin for the or
ganization of State board of charities
and reform. The appointment of the
first members having been left in the
hands of the Governor, he placed the
name of Mrs. Mary e. Lynde, of Mil
waukee, upon the list, an incident that
has been referred 10 with marked ex-
pressions of commentator by the press
of that State. This was not so much on
account of the novelty ofplacing lady
in the place, as on account of her pecu-
liar fitness for the trust. Mrs. Lynde
gave evidence of her qualifications for
such place while an active worker in
the management of the Sanitary Com
mission.
The consolidation of the management
of such institutions under one board is
a step IN the right direction. 1t is APP
parent that a simple board for the con-
duct of all the institutions for charities
and reform in State will be likely to
Rsult in more justice and benefit to all
concerned, than when such manage
ment is entrusted to separate boards,
with no plans for conference and unity
of action among them
The same plan would be likely TO
confer the same benefits if adopted for
the supervision of State educational in
situations, from the common schools,
upward through the various grades to
| the State University. Y.
