REPAIR AND CARE OF IMPLEMENTS

REPAIR AND CARE OF IMPLEMENTS
As soon as blowing is over for the season.
it is advisable not to leave the pillow in the
furrow or lying loose on the headland, but
to bring it home and house it as carefully
as though it were alive, and would suffer
from the inclemencics of the winter
weather. In fact it will suffer, and so will
the farmers pocket, if it is exposed to the
rains and frosts. Before it is slowed away
in dry place, it should be washed aud
secured, and, when dry, seated with hot
boiled linsecd oil. This will penetrate the
pores not only of the wood but the iron,
aud preserve the one from dry rot aud

wood), and the other from rust If rakes,

VAIUE Or SEA WrrD ron NAV.

VALUE OF SEA WEED FOR MANURE.
WIN. Collins Rye, New Hampshire, wants
to know the best way to use sea weed as
manure. There are only two ways in
which sea weed can be proiitably used.
One is to spread it aud pillow it under when
fresh; the other, to gather it into piles,
aud when sufficiently dry to burn, to re,
duce them to ashes la composing, the
bulk is very much reduced, and they seem
to disappear almost altogether. When
burned, they yield very large bulk of
ashcs-about one seventh part Of their dry
weight. The ash contains, of potash II
per cent. soda, Il per cent, salt, 20 per
cent; lime, 10 per cent; phosphates, 5
per cent. and sulphuric acid, a per cent
Besides these there are some chlorine aud
iodine. 1t will thus be seen that this ash
is very valuable as a manure, and would
pay cxcellcntly for the labor of gathering
and burning. Plowed in fresh, it rapidly
improves the soil, and no benefit is gained
by any other more laborious manner of
trcating.-Peoplc's Journal.

FARMING IN JApAN.--The Hon. Jas.
Brooks writes from Japan: "Proud as l
am of the arts, sciences and marvellous
doings ofmy own country, l blush when l
compare American farming with this. Here
are the rice fields arti6cially created, luxu-
side, up and down, and watercd by the
hill streams, or not watercd, as the hus-
bandman wills. There are barley fields
and bean fields, and fields of all sorts of
Japan agricultural productions. Forests
cap all the hill tops. Two crops are raised
in Japan in one year, even on the rice
fields, where the first crop is grain. The
grain harvest is over in April or May. The
rains come on in June or July, and now
the new crops are up, and the whole is one
beautiful landscape of green"

AIR BEDS IN THE MoRNING.-Thew wise
housekeeper should see to it that all the
the beds should be aired Immediately after
being occupied. The impurities which
emauate from the human body from insen-
sible Precipitation, are made up of minute
atoms, which, if allowed to remain long,
are absorbed by the bed, and will then, to
. greater or less extent, vitiate the air for
a considerable time afterward. Let the
occupant throw the bed open on rising
and as soon as is convenient, open the
windows, and veutilate the sleeping room
One hours early ventilation is worth two
hours late airing.

Edwards Memphis Directory.
Edwards Memphis City Directory, for
the present year, is now published, and,
in point of general excellence, is supe-
rior to any of the other editions gotten
up for this city. The marked features
of the work are, in the first place, the
increased number of names over last
years edition, showing large augmen-
tation in the population of the city, and
the very comprehensive city and
county record" so convenient for gen.
eral reference, besides the proper CLASH
fication of our business men. The work
is executed in excellent style through
out, and bears the impress Of much Ia
Dor and care. There is no work printed
of SO much real usefulness to the people
of Memphis as its city directory, and
yet we fear it is too little appreciated by
business men; not that they are I'M
ware of its necessity, but too many of
them rely upon borrowing when in want
of information. This is altogether
wrong, and unjust to the publishers,
who realize, as general thing, too small
a sum for the amount of capital invested
and labor bestowed upon the work.
Could every one of our business men
know how much it costs to get up a
directory, its canvass, compilation,
printing and binding, and then take into
consideration its genuine Importance,
they would hesitate not to give it all the
patronage in their power. A good and
reliable directory cannot be too highly
estimated. We have this in Edwards t,
who has been too long in the business to
publish any other, and values his repu-
tation too much as a publisher to neg
lect any of the numerous cities for
which he gets up directories. iii

This dispatch from Washington may
interest the saw-mill men at the mouth
of Wolf: "In the House to-day, Mr.
Hawley introduced q bill authorizing
the owners of saw-mills en- the Missis-
sippi river to build piers or cribs in front
of the mill property for the protection
of the mills and RATS against damage by
foods and ice; provided that no OBJ
struction is placed in the channel of the
river"
There being no dog ordinance in force
at present, a sensational citizen suggests
that if any person dies from hydropho-
bia the city ought to be sued for dam
ages. In the event Of judgment, the
non-dog-owning taxpayer would be
forced to pay as much as the dog-owning
chap, which would be unjust. Persons
bitten by mad dogs should steal quietly
away and die unobtrusively, and this is
just what every good citizen and well
disposed person would do.
The Eastern Herald, Of Palatka, Flor
ida, Of late date, gives a thrilling account

went to Florida some months since to
