HuRe Wool Sales.

The sales of wool at Boston during
the last week, 1t is reported, amount
ed to 1850, 900 pounds. This shows
a huge business, and, in the opinion Of
those claiming wisdom in such mat
tiers, indicates higher prices in the
near future. Few persons out of the
trade fully comprehend the production
and export of traffic in this one arti-
Gle. 1t may be noted as a little irreg-
ular, but the highest point of produc
tion we have seen put down at H.
OOO, 900 pounds, which was reached in
1868, since which time it has been
successfully l62, ,25O,OOO pounds, 1884,
100000 pounds, 100000 900 pounds,
and l6O, ,OOO,O 900 pounds. These fig.
ures are ahead of any other elsewhere.
The domestic production has not &C
CURED stability to such an extent as
to warrant the expectation of any
large increase soon. But the domes.
tic manufscture has become very
great, and the gain made during the
war has been pretty firmly held. The
imports OF foreign wool have risen to
enormous proportions.

How TO Use n Shade,

The man who can handle q spade
properly does not find it very hard or
laborious to work. He first sets the
spade fall of its own weight down to
the spot where the spadeful is to be
taken up, taking care that the breadth
on the surface ground is not more than
tour inches; then he draws back the
spade a little, which takes off much
OF the friction of the descending blade.
one good thrust of the spade with
the loot then sends the blade down its
iull depth. A backward pressure
makes a lever of the handle and heel
OF the spade, and Ge1trous turn of
the wrist sends the spadeful upside
down just where it is wanted. Tbere
is no raking or "sputteringn needed
to make the ground level. A sI;ob,
tap with the corner OF the spade makes
the work as regular and plane as i,
laid of with an instrument.-Ihoyao

HOUSE WINDows.-The more light
admitted to apartments the better for
those who occupy them. Light is as
necessary to sound health as it is to
vegetable lite. Exclude it from plants
and the consequences are disastrous.
They cannot be perfected without its
vivifylng influence. 1t is a fearful mis-
take to curtain and blind windows so
closely for fear of ipjuring the turni-
ure by exposure to the suns rays,
that rooms positively gather elements
in darkness which engender disease.
Let in the light often, and fresh air,
too, or suffer the penalty Of aches and
pains and long doctor bills which
might have been avoided.

The universal error as to the un-
heallhiness of pies, puddings, and
pastries, taking it for granted that
they are well made and properly cook
ed, has arisen from the simple fact
that after we have made full meal of
other things the stomach is oppressed
by them, and if the process is repeat
ed becomes eventually dyspeptic-that
is, has not the power to work up the
food, because it has been worked to
death already. 1t would be quite as
philosophical if q man has become
very tired of plewing all day, after
ward by chopping wood, has worked
himself out,' to conclude that it was
very unhealthy to chop.-Halrs Joxrn-

To PLow DowN GRAss.-The Ca
nadiGn Farmer says: ''Notwithstand-

DURING q late conversation with one
of our egg dealers, he advanced the
theories that eggs spoiled because the
yellow or yolk came in contact with
the membrane between the white and
shell, and if eggs were turned occas-
ionally they would keep for an indef-
mite length OF time. He further stated
that if sitting hen did not turn her
egg every few days, they would invari-
ably spoil, and fail to hatch. His
theory, so long as there was a portion
of the white or albumen between the
yellow and shell, the egg was practi-
cally air-tight, but when the yellow
came in contact with the shell il ad-
hered to 1t, and allowed the access of
air.-JourHal of the Farm.

assistance has thus been secured in
several States, and still greater advant-
ages Of this kind may be expected in
the near future. The time Is not very
fsr distant when the entire expenses
Of the free schools for all classes of
people in the South will be paid out
of the public funds. Then the, income
OF the Association can be eoncen-
trated on the mission churches and
the higher institutions of learning.
The American Missionary Association
has done more than the Congress of
the United States has ever done, or
ever can do, for the permanent recon-
struction of the South. Mere legis-
lation can never secure peace and har-
mony between the sntagonistic races.
An ignorant and vicious people can
not win the respect and confidence of
their neighbors by any process of law.
Only as the freed people acquire
worthy character can they secure social
and political standing beside their late
masters. They must be educated, they
must acquire property, they must ex-
hibit moral worth, and then the true
basis of peace and harmony will be
established. The Association is giving
them the opportunity to show that
they are MEN, that they are capable of
intellectual and moral improvement,
that they can make money for them
selves, and pro6tsbly use it. Under
the the guidance Of the wise and prao-
tical teachers employed by the Assc-
ciation, the people are saving their
earnings, are obtaining homes for them
selves, and are thus securing, as they
could in no other way, the respect and
good will of the white race. These
things are apparent in every communi-
ty where the Association has been at
work; but alas there are vast and
populous districts where no work of
the kind has yet been done, because
the means necessary could not be OBJ
tanned.
To continue the work at the impor-
tant points where it has been begun.
and to extend it to every desti-
tute neighborhood, Is our present
duty and privilege. Patriotism, phi
lanthropy, and religion unite their
voices in calling US to this work. JUS

We have never known one person

and assumed to be general adviser in
his neighbOrhood, who succeeded in
making both ends meet. Five years

Telegraph.
The telegraph is right. There is
no such thing as scientific Agricul
ture; but there is science in Agricul-
ture. One of the great mistakes
made by our so-called agricultural
teachers is the attempt to manipulate
in the school room and in
the field as they would literary studies.
1t does not work worth a cent, for the
simple reason that Agriculture is not
3 science, although made up of all Sci
ences. When this comes to be well
understood we shall not have so much
trouble with our so-called agricultural
professors and those who get their I
living by actual work on and in the

From the Denver Tribune, August 81
Patrons of Husbandry,
Organization OF the First Oranges I'm
Colorado.

The great "tidal wave' of the pres
ent year has reached the fertile plains of
Colorado, and the husbandmen of this
Tar western verge of civilization are
gathering their clans together for or
ganization and effective work.
Yesterday morning the chief of the
Oranges of Nebraska arrived in this
city for the purpose Of initiating the
numerous clubs or Oranges already
organized in various portions of the
Territory, and to instruct the men,
bers in the forms and objects of the
organization. This gentleman is now the
guest of Mr. g. F. Packard, President
of the Farmers Union, residing on
Clear Creek, about six miles from the
city.
On Tuesday night next the farmers
OF Clear Creek Valley and vicinity
will assemble in mass meeting at
ArVada, where the first Lodge of Pat |
rons of Husbandry with be for
mally organized and instructed, and |
on which occasion speeches will be-
made by prominent persons engaged
in agriculture and interested in the
growth and prosperity of Colorado.
1t is expected that this meeting will be
largely attended, and be of the utmost
Importance.
This movement of the farmers of
the Eastern States is spreading with
the rapidity OF whirlwind. 1t has
become perfect revolution on the
part of the tillers of the soil in favor
of reform. The Eastern papers ar
rive daily, filled with accounts of these
gatherings of the farmers in every
State from Nebraska and Kansas to
the Atlantic. 1t is estimated that
their organization numbers millions in
its ranks.
One of the significant features about
this organization is its unpolitical
character. No office hunter or known
professional politician is allowed to
become a member. The dogmas of
either political party are carefully ex
cluded from the lodges, SO that men,
bers of both political organizations
may become members. Ladies are
allowed membership, so that the far
mer may attend the meeting with his
wife and his daughter.
This adds much to the meeting, and
preserves the moral tone of each. The
organizations of husbandmen are in
tended solely for the benefit of the
farming population of the country,
for self-protec6on, co operation, and
mutual benefit. They will become
benefit, and greatadvantage to Col {
orado in the future. !
