The three reasons given by those not
in favor of live posts are: 1t is difficult
to grow a row of trees near enough in
line; the wind swaying the trees will
break the nails; and lastly, the growth of
the trees would surely push off the boards
that old Boreas spared.
1t is said that the disagreeable click

sufficient for an entire sermon, if we had
time to preach. 1t is not the skillful
hand, the strong arm, or the watchful
eye alone, that will, in these days, bring
success and wealth to the farmer. These
are needful, but the cultivated mind is
far more important. If thorough tillage
is indispensable to profitable result, then
an educated mind with experience and
observation is essential, for there can be
no thorough tillage in the sense here un-
derstood, unless it be performed with in
telligence, care and skill. Judgment is
absolutely worthless unless it is based
upon knowledge. An ignorant farmer is
sometimes successful, because the circum-
stances are fortuitous, but we urge a
higher standard of mental cultivation for
farmers, that they may, at times, wrest
success from unfavorable circumstances
that practical skill, learning, expert
ence and matured judgment may secure
desirable results even when the elements
seem to oppose him. Throughout the
whole country, we can see that agricul
ture is making rapid advancement, and
that farmers are increasing in their social
and political influence, while their ma
terial prosperity is being improved. But
the full power and grandeur of agricul
ture will never be acknowledged
| or known, nor will it ever attain that pre-
| eminence it is entitled to as the basis OF
national prosperity, until farmers every

humble, admit the truths we have jus

Ashes and Salt for Growing Wheat.

ALI farmers who have growing wheat
should avail themselves of the opportuni-
ties offered in the leisure DAYS of winter
to top dress the wheat land with these
substances. Ashes, from the contained
potash, afford most valuable fertilizer,
not only as direct food for the wheat
plant, but also for their solvent effect
upon some constituents in the soil. They
are also effectual in destroying the germ
of smut that was sown with the grain; for
smut is but fungus growth, of diminu-
tive form, that adheres to the grain of
wheat, and its growth is analogous to
rent to the eye. We take it for granted
that no good farmer has sown his wheat
without soaking the seed in blue stone or
strong brine, both of which are effectual
in destroying the germ of smut; but if
this were neglected by any, the top dress
ing with ashes will supply the place of
those preventives. Eight to ten bushels
of unleached ashes should be applied per
acre, and more would be still better This
home fertilizer is generally accumulating
rapidly on every farm during the winter,
and is too often left to wasteful exposure
to the rains of winter. Leached ashes
are also of much importance, as they
contain salts highly conducive to plant
growth
The agricultural world has never yet
settled the question as to the value of
common salt as fertilizer; but any
farmer who will apply it to his growing
wheat at the rate of fifty pounds and not
over one hundred pounds per acre, can
determine the question for himself when,
toward the time of harvest, he perceives
the thriftiness of the straw, the plump.
ness of the grain, and the greatly increas.
ed yield over that of any portion of the
| field that was not treated with salt
There is danger in the use of salt in ex
cessive quantities as fertilizer, and there
fore we fix the precautionary limit of moi
over one hundred pounds per acre. The
price of salt does not place it beyond
economical use as a fertilizer, as, in al
most all sections of the older States the
quantity judiciously applied to an acre
can be purchased at from sixty cents to 8
dollar and quarter. Salt is not only
stimulating to the growth and effective
in the yield of wheat, but produces earlier
maturity of the crop, thus affording ar
avenue of escape from that other malady
of the wheat plant, rust on the stem ant
blade, from which our wheat crops in the
South are in greater peril than from smut
Rust is generally an almost complete
blight, while smut is usually but damag
ing to the quality of the crop produced

The Judgment of the PubIic.

Doctors disagree. Each school of medicine has its
own theories, and these theories differ widely it is
clear that few If any of them, be right. But II
medical men cannot agree upon any theory system
cf practice the public find difficulty in agreeing
as to notorious matters of fact For instance they
have observed for many years that Hostetters Stom
ach Bitters uniformly dyspepsia, constipation
cheumatism bilousness, nervous debility, and many
other diseases which the prescriptions of the pharma
cspia do not and cannot cure; and they know there
fore that there be no mistake about it. On this
point they are firm and positive. They take their
stand incontroverbe facts and they state to one
another verbally and sometimes by letter. what they
know about relieving and preventing sickness with
the standard vegetable tonic and Alternative OF
America.
Here. then, the invalid has guarantee of value that
can be relied upon, viz: the sober judgment of the
public. After twenty years of observation and re-
dection the American people pronounce Hostetter's
Btters the best invigorating and regulating medicine
at their command and give evidence Of the faith that
is in them by purchasing of 1t than of any other
advertised medicine manufactured this continent
large number of physicians, too, however much
they may differ on other points in therapeutics, admit
the extraordinary merits of the Bitters tonic and
Alternative, and recommend 1t preventive of mala
rious diseases, and remedy in intermittent and
remittent fevers.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany now has in full operation, with
daily trains, 321 miles of road. A dis.
tance of nearly 200 miles more is con-
structed. The Minnesota Section, ina

upon satisfactory business, including
local traffic and the large carrying trade
of the Northwestern British Settlements
and the Hudson Bay Company. The re-
Gently completed section of sixty-five
miles, on the Pacific Coast, at once COM
mands a profitable business between
Puget Sound and the Columbia River,
heretofore done by coastwise steamers.
On the opening of spring, with more than
500 miles of road in regular operation,
the Company will control the extensive
and productive trade of the Upper Mis-
souri,, much of Montana and the North

will be large.
Arrangements for pushing construction

ing satisfactorily.
Of the nearly Ten Million acres of land
accruing to the Company in connection
with the portion of Road now virtually

excellent average quality, are in market,
and their sale and settlement progressing.
The average price thus far realized is
$5.66 per acre-which is at the rate of
more than 100000 per mile of road for
the whole grant.

Agricultural Improvement.

A GREHT deal has been spoken and writ
ten concerning agriculture and its influ-
ence on the nation and on the individual,
and it will not be denied that the ad-
yancement of the one in every desirable
direction, and the prosperity of the other,
depend in direct degree upon the pro-
gress made in this fundamental interest
And the prosperity of any section is in
proportion to its advancement in agricul-
ture and its associated interests. Agri-
culture is now understood, and properly
so, to be almost scaence-the gaining of
the mastery by man over nature, and the
acquisition of such knowledge of her
ways and her laws of action, as will ena-
BILE him to attain the control necessary to
secure the result he has in view.
There can be no successful agriculture
unless it be made profitable and pleasant.
| But before this result can be obtained
there must be an abandonment of old
prejudices. These prejudices, that stand
in the way of improvement of any kind,
are the offspring of ignorance, and they
constitute most formidable obstacle to
anything like progress. Whenever these
exist, an obstinate determination to per

MEDICAL GUEsswoRK.-The profess
sional treatment of disease is in a great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hit-or-miss practice is pursued until the
resources of the faculty is exhausted.
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
emapiricism. But when the physician has
made valuable discovery, he is called by
his professional brethren an Enpir1c be-
cause he advcrtises the result of his labor
and research. When DIR. Walker, of
California, introduced his celebrated
VINEGAR BTTTERs as a remedy for all
blood diseases, he struck a tremendous
blow at the empirical system. as applied in
our hospitals, and in private practice. 1t
was soon apparent that his medicine was
not mere palliative or alternative that
only modified the symptoms of disorder;
but that it reached The very source of the
naalady in the blood and the secretions,
and literally rooted 1t out. The process of
renovation and disinfection went on to-
gether, vigor was impaired to the organs
from which the virus of disease had been
expelled. That such is the effect of this
popular vegetable remedy, no one who
has had opportunities of observing its
operation in cases of liver complaint, in.
digestion, affections of the bowels, gout,
rheumatism, and pulmonary disorders,
can possibly doubt.
