The Elements OfPOWer.
IFrom the New Jersey Mechanic

From the New jersey MeehanlcI
Every day the newspapers bring US
the news of some great discovery Of
mineral wealth in some section of the
country not known to contain deposits
of any value. Most of these discover
les are on scale to strike every person
with aston;shment, and affords substan-
tial evidence that the teeming resources
of the country are barely touched as
yet. When we consider that in the far
West there are thousands and thousands
of square miles of country which as yet
have hardly been trod by the foot of
white man, it becomes evident that
there is no end to the mineral wealth of
the country. The great industry of the
coming generation will be mining, and
it will be from American mines prnci-
pally that the old world will derive the
greater supplies of minerals, for in Eu-
rope every section of country has been
rummaged, secured, screened and wash
ed for minerals for thousands of years.
Coal is thousands of feet below the soil;
all the rich seams of metallic ores, ex>
cept iron, were exhausted centuries ago
by the wastefnl barbarous smelling OF
old and mediaeval nations and the poor
est lodes, which would leave to more
refined processes scanty margin OF
profit, have been chased downward into
the. bowels of the earth, beneath the
sea, or into the cores of the mountains,
where the pump can do no more, or
where voicaic heat foretelIs the final
barrier. Thus every century has in-
creased and will continue to increase,
difficulties which have now become en-
.0rmous. and full OF imminent peril. To
conquer them requires the highest re-
sources of the engineer, the utmost in-
telligence of the geologist, and the best
skill of the mechanic.
How different here in America ? Our
coal lies upon the surface, and the get
ting it is scarcely more than quarrying

Storing Potatoes.

As the time has arrived for potatoes to
be harvested, l wish to say to those who
have them to harvest, to put them in bar
rels as the best mode of disposing of them.
There are those who have tried this for
years, and cannot be persuaded to keep
their potatoes in any other way. Dig
and expose to the air until dry then put
up as directed, taking the barrels to the
field. Store in the cellar any part most
convenient. The advantage is that the
air is not exposed as with open bins, which
often vitiate it and always leave a potato
odor. You have nothing of this. Another
advantage : you can put where most con-
v%enient and more at pleasure with little
difficulty, and you may place tier upon
tier of barrels till up to the floor. When
it is wished to use any, a barrel is opened
and used, and SO on with the rest, leaving
nc dirt, the ground remaining in the bar
rel. Or if it is wished to sell they are
already put up. Any barrel will do SO
that.it is strong enough salt barrel is
q good as any.-COr. Country Gentle

How to Put the Children to Bed.

Not with a reproof for any of that days
sins of omission or commission. Take
any other time but bed time for that. If
you ever heard a little creature signing
or sobbing its sleep, you could never do
this. Seal their closing eyelids with a
kiss and a blessing. The time will come
all too soon, when they will lay there
heads upon their pillows lacking BOTH
Let them, then, at least have this sweet
memory of a happy childhood, of which
no future trouble or sorrow can rob them.
Give them their rosy youth. Nor need
this involve wild license. The judicious
parent will not mistake my meaning. If
you have ever met the man, or the woman
whose eyes have suddenly filed when a
little child has crept trustingly to its
mothers breast, you may have seen one
in whose childhood's Dignity and sSe-
verify" stood where Love and Pity should
have been. Too much indulgence has
ruined thousands of children, too much

An elderly gentleman, accustomed to
"indulge," entered the room of a certain
tavern, where sat a grave Friend by the
fire. Lifting a pair of green spectacles
from his forehead, rubbing his infamed
eyes, and calling for hot brandy and wa
ter, he complained to the Friend that "his
eyes were getting weaker, and that ever
spectacles didn't seem to do them any
good" "Ill tell thee, friend" said the
Quaker, "what L think. If thee were to

suggestions About wheat culture.

"A practice which steadily gains favor
with farmers wherever introduced, must
its success to the fact that general and
long continued experience proves its val
ue. Sowing winter wheat with the drill
needs no other argument in its favor than
the experience of thousands of farmers,
who haqe thoroughly tried and permanent
ly adopted it, Drilled wheat stands the
winter better than that sown broadcast,
and requires less seed per acre. We pre-
fer drilling north and south to any other
direction, and, in most cases, would leave
the surface of the soil undisturbed after
the drill. The little ridges between the
lows protect the roots of plants.
If the soil was 'as dry as an ash heap"
when plowed after harvest, and little or
no rain has fallen on it, using the roller
just after the last narrowing will be high
ly beneficial. 1t compacts the soil, crush
es Jumps, and smoothes the surface so
that the drill can be guided readily. 1t
also obviates the danger of putting the
seed in too deep, as may easily be done
on very dry mellow soil. If dry weather
continues after sowing, the seed, on rolled
ground, will sprout quicker and more
evenly than if the soil is not compacted.
The best time for sowing wheat in this
n
latitude is between the 10th and 18th of
September, a period when the heat of
summer usually has passed, and the cool
weather of autumn begins. If sown too
early there is danger from the Hessian
fly, and that the growth may be too rapid
in the top and feeble in the root. Cool
autumn weather is favorable to the devel-
opment of roots and a healthy, spreading
top growth.
The larger the berry sown the more
vigorous will be the early growth of the
plant. Hence it pays to winnow the seed
carefully and sieve out the small kernels.
Small, round berries seed thicker than
those large and long.-American Raral
