The Profit of Ashes.

1t is an open question with many
whether the use of common ashes will
pay on the farm. As bearing upon this,
correspondent sends the Rural Home
these facts =" During the year 1857, a
man named Arthur Dugan went to the
town of Palermo, Oswego County, this
State, and bought sixty acres Of light,
sandy land, with here and there little
pertaining to gravel. He paid 81 800
for it. He knew nothing about farming
being a machinist by trade, and never
held pillow. After paying for his land,
he had 5000 left. He began and found
his land was worn out. His first crops
were-wheat, five bushels per acre: rye
eight bushels; potatoes, seventy five /;
corn, mere nothing. The second year
was even worse. He had to hire part of
his sheep pastured, he could not hold
his own. But being man of excellent
judgment, and great reader, his good
judgment aided by the theories, carried
him through. He began by buying
ashes and plaster would draw potatoes
fourteen miles to Oswego, and load his
team back with manure from the livery
stables. His crops increased His ash.
es were spread correspondingly thick.
He raised, principally, potatoes and
wheat. Now, 1000 bushels of ashes
per year is what he buys. His potatoes
for several years past, average $50 BUSH
els per acre his winter wheat, thirty
bushels and over and he has saved
from his farm alone, till he now holds
$12,000I III bank stock, and won d not
sell his farm for 800 per acre. He
sold in 1869, of potatoes and wheat, over
So, 300 worth. He is known as the best
farmer in this country. Yet when he
began buying ashes old farmers shook
their heads and said =" He will know
better when he has farmed it as much
as we have"

A VOCAL DuEL.-I once heard a
stage drivers story Of Jenny Lind, when
she was riding in the country. A bird
Of brilliant plumage perched on tree
near by; as they drove slowly along, it
trilled such complication Of sweet notes
that it perfectly astonished her. The
coach stopped, and reaching out, she
gave one of her finest roulades. The
beautiful creature arched its head on
one side, and listened deferentially, then,
as if determined TO excel its famous ri
val, raised his graceful throat and sang
song of ripping melody, that made
Jenny rapturously clap her hands with
ecstasy and quietly, as though she was
before a severely critical audience in
Castle Garden, she delivered some ~
rolean mountain strains that sent echoes
flying, whereupon little Birdie took it
up aud sang till Jenny, in happy delight,
acknowledged that the pretty, woodland
warbler decidedly out-carold the great
Swedish Nightingale Singing People.
