Wheat After Glover.

If there is no tough sod, but a tolera-
bly, clean clover lay, the soil may be
pretty well fitted for wheat by plowing
once after harvest, and working the
surface thoroughly. The clover may be
pastured or moved. This method of
preparing the land for wheat is prac,
tlced quite largely blythe Englsh farm
ers, and very successfully, too. twill
work well here if previous cultivation
has enriched and cleared the land so
that weeds will not choke the grain,
and will find in the soil sufficient food.
But if the land is both foul and poor it
is a course not to be recommended. If
possible, it is best to refrain from either
pasturing or moving the clover previ-
Gus TO plowing it in, but let the full
growth remain on the ground during
the summer.
When in full bloom it is a good plan
to roll or harrow it down, when the new
growth will start quicker and the shade
become denser. Soil thus shaded will
plow much more loosely, and be in finer
condition for wheat, than if it had been
exposed to the sun by close pasture or
moving. If the farmer can afford 10
use his clover crop to thus protect his
land, it Is quite as likely to yield as
much profit eventually, as it would
either made into hay or fed off by stock.

How the Blind May Correspond.

At recent meeting OF the Royal
Scottish Society Of Arts, a communica-
ton was read from Mr.. Albert Meldrum,
teacher of the blind, Alloa, describing
an improved method of corresponding
between blind persons. The invention
consists of two parts-the upper having
the types, with keys and levers for
moving them, and lhe lower containing
the paper-movlng apparatus. The base
of the upper part is metal disk, with
a circular hole in the center. Around
the central opening are arranged twenty
six little hammers, having on their strik
ing surface copper types for embossing
the the paper. The types are SO az
ranged that they all strike at the same
place, namely, on the ope.ing in the
disk, and each hammer, after striking,
is pulled back to its original position by
an India rubber band. Each of the
keys represents letter, and when any
particular key is pressed down, the
corresponding hammer strikes, and
the type makes mark on the paper,
which is stretched on a revolving drum
in 81 drawer below the disk. When
one letter is impressed the drum is
moved round by a handle in front of
the machine, and plain surface is pre-
sented for the next stroke. When a
line is finished, the drawer in which the
paper moves is pulled out one line.
The machine is constructed to print
Moons type, but its principle is equally
applicable to any other, especially to
Braile's. After the paper had been
read, the machine was exhibited in
operation, and worked very satisfac-
tnrily

New PAtatn Rot Theory.

A correspondent of New York pa.
per advances the following theory |

self for half-penny. Cut off the shaws
and water the ground with watering
can, taking J ounce of sulphuric acid,
with II to 2 gallons of water. If it has
rained, examine in twenty-tour hours,
if not, wet the ground with plain water
to carry down the solution to the tubers,
and examine in twenty four hours,
when it will be found that the disease
has been arrested, and the part affect
ed returned to its natural state, the
acid counteracting the supertluity OF
alkaline matter absorbed. If our
chemical friends would analyze the
sound and unsound potato, and bring
out something practical from the hint,
they would confer great boon on the
human family.

Hours for Farm Labor.

A paper on this subject was read at a
recent meeting for discussion of the
Bucks County PENN Agricultural So
ciety. by W. c. Blacktan. He thought
ten hours day fair allotment for
farm hands, but with the contingencies
of weather this could not always be ex-
actly arranged, and it is more, in his
opinion, than is acco plished on the
average. He offered the following sug
gestion, which is worthy of attention
by others:
81 do not see how this matter of farm
ers working on time is ever to be
brought about. We must make and
prepare our crops while the sun shines,
and arrange our work for dull days
within our buildings and if your hands
work overtime, give them leisure day,
or half day occasionally, and let them
know what it is for. They will gener
ally appreciate 1t, and you will gain
more than you will lose. 1t will make
them feel far greater interest in that
work, which will be to your advan-
tage. This has been my arrangement
with my hands, and have never heard
them say anything about working on
time"

Chemical Papers.

A ne. style of colored paper has been
recently introduced, designed to be
used for checks, drafts, and other COM
mercial purposes. Such is the prepara-
tion of this paper that figures once
made upon it cannot be erased or chemi
cally removed without detection. In
the samples of this paper that have been
shown an admirable degree of perfec-
ton has been obtained. and the inven-
ton or discovery promises to become
very popular. The preparation OF this
paper is extremely simple, and it Is
matter of surprise that the process was
not discovered years ago. The coloring
material used is simply dilute writing
fluid, which gives the paper a delicate
French gray shade. Characters written
with pen on this cannot be removed
in any manner. If scratching is re-
sorted to, the surface will be removed
and the white body of the paper under
meath would show the attempt. The
coloring matter of the surface being
the same as the ink used in writing
upon it, any chemical preparation that
would remove one would remove the
other, and tAus any attempted altera-
ton would be discovered. The process,
1T would appear, is designed to furnish
an article for bank checks and valuable
documents that will be absolutely proof
against alteration.

To Save Seed Corn.

If you continue to save your seed
corn from stalks that bear two ears or
more las has been advised by some)
you will finally have all shoots and but
little corn. We often see stalks of corn
that have from six to ten shoots but no
corn. If this force had all been direct
ed in one shoot, it would have made
one good ear.
But one ear of corn should be encour-
aged to grow on a stalk. To convince
yourself of this fact look your corn
yield over. and take all the corn from q
certain number of stalks that have two
ears, shell and weigh it. Now look
over the same field and take from the
same number of stalks that have but
one ear, shell and weigh, and you will
find that the one cared stalks have the
most corn. You not only produce the
most corn off one cared stalks, but you
save one half in husking, which is
very great consideration.-OAio
Farmer.

A Gifted Memphis Lawyer Who Edited
Two PaDerS.

An antiquated writer in the Mem
phis appeal has dug out OF his memory
the following rich story. The young
lawyer referred to is still flourishing in
Memphis: "There was never greater
local excitement than that which grew
out of this internal navy-yard business.
Half the people were in favor of accept
ing the property, and half or more sp-
posed to it; the latter thinking that
the Government might be induced even
yet to make liberal appropriations and
perfect the navy-yard and build ships
and steamers here. There were two
newspapers published here-one a
morning publication, edited by a gentle
man of no ordinary ability named
Bankhead, who was tragically and mys-
teriously assassinated some six years
ago. There was another, an afternoon
paper, called the Ne,os (I believe that
was its name), edited by a man named
Yancey. These editors opposed one
another on the navy-yard question, and
their discussion had begotten good
deal of excitement, when both went
away for the summer, and each without
the others knowledge employed the
same man, this young lawyer, to con-
duct his paper in mis- absence. The
young limb of the law naturally enough
took to both sides of the question. He
made the controversy between the two
papers hotter and hotter on each sue.
cessive day. Crowds gathered each af
ternoon about the Nes0s office and some
body expected that the two furious edi-
tors would shed blood. The coming
duel in Arkansas was confidently an
ticipated, and the ferocity of the two
papers was marvellous. Popular ex-
element was intense when Bankhead
came hurrying home from Virginia AMI
Yancey from Alabama, each thinking
the other was about to murder his own
substitute. Such was the fervor of
popular feeling and evaporation that
the story was necessarily kept quiet.
If the mischievous fraud upon the pub
lie passion had been exposed at the
time the con amsre editor would have
been hanged TO lamp-post."

A Pal.table Medicine.

Milk is an excellent remedial agent.
People suffering from disease require
food Us much as those in nealth, and
more so in certain diseases where there
is rapid waste of the system. Ere
quently all ordinary food in certain dis
eases is rejected by the stomach and
loathed by the patient; but nature, ever
benehcent, has furnished food that in
all cases is beneficial; in some directly
curative. Such food is milk. In the
East Indies, warm milk is used to a
great extent as specific for diarrhea.
A pint every four hours will check the
most violent diarrhea, stomach ache,
incipient cholera and dysentery. The
milk should never be boiled, but only
heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm-not too hot to drink. Milk
which has been boiled is unfit for use.
The value of milk in cases of scarlet fe-
yer has been fully tested, and is now
recommended by the medical faculty
in all cases of this often distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk a
patient will take. Even during the pc.
riod of the greatest fever it keeps up the
strength of the patient, acts well upon
the stomach, and in every way is a
blessed thing is this sickness. Par
ents, remember it, and do not fear to
give it if your dear ones are afflicted
with this disease.

Worlds Fair ut New York.

The Worlds Fair, under the auspices
of the Industrial Exhibition Company
in New York, it is now suggested to
make perpetual. The capital stock of
the company is $9,OO0,000. A track of
eight blocks of land has been secured,
bounded by Third and Fourth avenues,
Ninety eighth street and One Hundred
and Second street, New York. Its cost
is $l,700,00O, and 100000 deposit has
been paid on it. The remainder is to
be paid early next year. The streets
and avenues crossing the property are
to be closed by law, and the company
is given power to build on them, but the
present idea is to build over them and
keep them open to the public. Mem.
bership will be $40 for 80 admissions /;
500 for life $500 family life; no tick
cts transferable. There will be l,574 900
feet of space to rent. Upon this is to
be erected vast and substantial
structure with every convenience for
the exhibition of every description of
the worlds products in nature, art and
manufac ture.
