THH VALLEY OF DEATH.-ABpot almost a.
terrible as the prophets valley OF dry bones
lies Just north OF the Mormon road 20 Cali
fornlA, q region thirty miles long by thirty
broad, and surrounded, except ct Two points,
by inaccessible m0untAlls. II Is totally de-
void Of water andVegetaton, and the shadow
Of bird or wild beast never daTkens Its Whiten
glazing sands, The Kansas Pacific railroad
engineers discovered II, and dlso some papers
which show the fate OF the lost Montgomery
train, which came south from Salt Lake In
1850, guided by . Mormon. When lear
Deaths Valley some came 10 the conclusion
that the MoTmOns knew nothing about the
country, 60 they appointed one Of their num-
her q leader, and broke of from the party.
The leader turned due west; so with the peO-
pie and wagons and hOCks he travelled three
days and then desceuded iuto tho broad val
ley whose treacherous mirage promised wa
ter. They reached tho scntre, but only the
white sand5 bounded by scOrChlng peaks,
met their gaze. Around the valley they wan
derod, and one by one the men died aud the
painting hOckB stretched themselves In death
under the bot sun. Then the children, crying
for water, died at their mothers breasts, and
with swollen tongues and burning yitalS the
mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was
abandoned and strong men tottered and
Taycd and died. After u weeks wandering a
dozen survivors found some water In the hol-
low OF rock In the mountain. II lasted but
a short time, when oil persisted but two, who
escaped out Of the valley and followed the
trail Of their former companions. Eighty
seven families, with hundreds Of animals,
persisted here, and now, after twenty-five
years, the wagons stand still complete, the
Iron work and tires are bright and The
Shriyeled skeletons Ito side by side.

Applying Corn Culture to Wheat.

IF it is a benefit to cultivate corn be-
tween the rows, why is it not an advan-
tage to give wheat the same treatment,
and for that matter, all or most of the
grains 3? Winter wheat has the fall and
spring, as well as the summer in part, to
favor the growth of weeds and grass, and
we find these abundantly interspersed
among the wheat To SOW a crop of corn
broadcast for feed is found to be an adj
vantage to SOW in drills and cultivate is
found to be still better. 1t pays more
than the extra labor. Wheat used to be
sown broadcast and do well it is now
found that it will do better in drills.
Thus it follows corn. Why will it not
still further be benefited like corn if
worked between the drills, using the cul-
tivator, and even the hoe if necessary :?
The truth is, we have not yet arrived at
that point of advantage. England has,
so far as the decision in favor of it is
concerned. Mechi and others have tested
this matter, and experiments in a small
way practiced here have pointed the same
way Now, since drilling is getting to
be established, let US introduce and prose
cute, or at least test, cultivating between
the rows. Grass and weeds by this
means are kept out ground is the
moister and becomes the more fertile by
it ; the crop is strengthened and kept
clean (the last quite consideration, and
the land will have no occasion to be self
sown with foul seed, as is usual in grain
and grass crops and neglected cornfields.
Have we too much to do, too much
land to cultivate, and too little help 10 do
it with, to be able to engage in this? But
if it IS benefit, why neglect this and at
| tend to other things no more beneficial,
and perhaps not so much, as this? Why
cultivate our corn and neglect our wheat,
when the latter requires it equally, and it
may be more? / eni sorry to have it to
say that have tested this no more than
in general way IL the garden, and then
not so carefully as l might. But the thing
seems as if there were more profit in
treating wheat in this way than corn.
Who will give it fair test? Who will
lead off and confirm what the English ex-
perimenters have introduced so success
fully, getting the benefit at the same time
and at once? If narrowing the field with
smoothing harrow ere the grain is too
large, and where there are weeds and
| grass starting up, is benefit, why not

Never Tempt a Man.


THE late celebrated John Trumbull,
when boy, resided with his father
Governor Trumbull, at his residence in
Lebanon, Conn, in the neighborhood CT
the Mohegans. The government of this
tribe was hereditary in the family of the
celebrated Uncas. Among the heirs of
the chieftanship was an Indian named
Zachary, who, though brave man and an
excellent hunter, was as drunken and
worthless an Indian as could be found
By the death of intervening heirs, Zachary
found himself entitled to the royal power.
In this moment the better genius of
Zachary assumed sway, and he reflected
seriously: Glow CAP such a drunken
wretch as l aspire to be the chief of this
noble tribe. What will people say !?
How shall the shades of my glorious an
cestors look down Indignantly upon Iuch
successor? Aye-drink no more ~
And he solemnly resolved that he would
