Kecpa Steady Hand.

joseph Harris, in the american Agri-
euAuria, thus vigorously denounces the
habit farmers have Of finding fault, and Of
changing their tactics with every season
which gives good returns on certain crop
-- thus endorsing what we attempted to say
upon the sane subject few weeks since,
when speaking Of the capriciousuess Of
farmers There is much force to what he
says-his walks being always insiruc.
tive, aud his " talks" full Of sense. Hear
him
The husbandmau of the period is talk
Jog too much about spectators and middle
men aud combinations 1t would be wiser
INT be were to devote more thought to the
improvement of farms and stock. Before
the papers have got through discussing the
best means Of getting ten cent corn to
market, we may have poor crop, and
there will be no more ten cent corn for
many years. 1t may be worth 80 cents,
Z 3 cents or bushel where it now sells
for song. Aud then, what will you wish
you had done ? Iloarded the corn Not
necessarily. That might have been impos.
sibc, But you will wish that you had
improved your land-that you had made
it cleaner and richer, and got it into high
condition
When prices are high, it is the good
farmers who make money. Those who have
poor crops are benefited but little if any,
by the high prices Thousands of farmers
went through the high-priced war times
without making anything. What they sold
brought double the money, but they had to
pay double for what they bought, and they
bought as much as they Sold 1t was the
farmer who had a surplus over his wants
that made money. The same thing will
happen again. And he is the wise man
who gets ready for it. Farming is slow
work. You can not make your land rich
and clean in year And recolect that
until this is done there is no possible chance
for making much money by farming 1t
would be a sad thing for the country, should
farmer be able TO make money in raising
crops Of wheat that were half weeds, aud
that did not yield 10 bushels per acre. 1t
would be sad to see the time when crop
Of so bushels Of potatoes per acre paid
handsome profit, or when half starved neg

No country prospers when good farmers

less when poor farmers can extort prices

Making Sugar.

A writer in an exchange says Of making
sugar
If large tree stands perpendicular
hang two buckets to it, on opposite sides
with one spout to q bucket, aud you will
get all the sap from it that the tree ought
to spare. Use halEinch bit, and use no
patent spouts of any kind, as the best
spout in the world is made from Sumac and
Pine. White the spout tapering and
smooth, even off the rough bark tapering
so the spout will tighten in the bark and
not in the wood. am decidedly against
the use of tin buckets as they not only
cause the sap to sour more quickly than
other buckets in use, Of they are not thor
oughly cleansed,) but their use imparts a
decidedly unpleasant tinDy taste to the
syrup. The best, as well as the most dura-
Bile sap buckets in use are the eight.quart
pine buckets, painted red outside and white
inside, the only objection bcing their small
size. Farmers in some places where the
snow is deep in March and April, delay
tapping for the snow to settle, and thus
lose by far the best part of the sugar as
no frost is in the ground when snow is
deep, and as soon as mercury stands at
from 46 to so degrees above zero, in the
shade, for a short time, sap commences to
run freely. | have made 500 pounds of
sugar some springs ere pound would be
made in any adjoining sugar lot, the pro-
prietors claiming that it was not sugar

years. from 500 trees, (many of them be-
ing small ones,) and 500 of them standing
with heavy growth of hard wood, 1884

Many poor fellow has worn out his
bones trying to work piece of poor
ground but such bone application has sell
dom resulted in large profits. Our Eng
fish friends have discovered that it is much
better to use other peoples bones in the
cases than their own, and the bone trade Of
England has assumed gigantic proportions
All the old battle fields have been ransack-
ed, and unless report do them no injustice,
many an old fellow whose bones were suppos.
ed to rest in peace in some grassy, daisy
lowered churchyard, would have to hunt
some modern turnip field to find all that
remains Of them. Foreign countries have
not only to pay tribute to England of their
wealth during life but even their bones
have to follow, in order to enrich British
soil, as while living they worked to Gil
British pockets. Australia sends an enor-
nous quantity of bones to England. 1t has
become such heavy trade that the article
itself was found too light for profit. Science
has been called in TO enable the ship owner
to take the same weight in less bulk. The
bones are first ground, then the dust mixed
with some substance which will give it Just
enough adhesiveness to make the particles
stick together Then the material i. put
under heavy pressure in moulds about six
inches square, so that it can be packed in
the hold without any loss of space. One
ton of this bone cake measures only twen-
ty-six cubic feet. OF course these bones
are all Of wild or domestic animals, but
still, silence is golden. - Germantown,

Planting In tie Garden.

About the end Of February or beginning
of March, in this latitude, we often get a
few very warm days, when the citizen fresh
to the country feels sure the spring is come,
and is very anxious for fear the acceptable
time should pass away and he not have bis
trees and plants, flowers and vegetables, put
in before it is too late. The old hand, who
has become veteran in garden-work, will
need no hint from us that this is all wrong !
but there are 20 many new corners into the
field and garden every year that we are sure
our words of advice will not be thrown away.
Nothing should on any account be set out
in spring until the ground has become so
dry that it will crust under the heel when
trodden on. Besides this all danger Of a
return Of frosty weather should certainly
be over before much in the way Of planting
be attempted. Even though the ground be
toerably dry and warm, and in general
good condition when the seeds or plants are
put out, they are not always the first to
bear over those often sown later. A chill
often stops growth for some time, while one
which from the first has nothing to interfere
with it, goes right on to fruition, without
interruption. Here, as well as elsewhere,
the last shall be first, and first last

According to arrangement, General Cor
don spoke last night in the Representative
Hall to a very large audience, composed OF
the members of the Legislature and the in
teIligence of Austin. His subject was the
aslHO8tien Of the youth of the South, and
he handled the sabjae. IN 9 most patriotic
manner. lie reiesFed particularly 10 the
style of books adopted by our officials for
use in the public schools, and by reading
passages from them showed that they were
intended by the authors, and by those who
had adopted ihew, to bring the ancestry OF
the rising generation Into disrepnta among
those Who should hold them in respect and
reverence; that mapy Of these books were
calculated to depmye the mind of
the youth, and to destgoy the divine senti-
ment of love for ones kindred and home.
He claimed that these books were
suited for no other purpose than to keep
alive prejudiees--and create strife; that the
Southern people did not desire this, but
that they wished to have their children
educated in love, not alone towards their
owp section, but the whole country.
Tie elsimed tbat the teyt books truest TO
history were contributed by Southern writ
crs ana published in tie South, aud sho4ld
be encouraged to find their way into the
schools; that such decision was necessary
to the hoaor aad integrity of the rising gen,
Grafton, and that it was the duty Of our leg
islators to take this important matter in
hand and to bring the remedy into proper
form.
