Investment ROnds.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany now has in full operation, with
daily trains, 321 miles of road. A dis
tsnce of nearly 200 miles more is con-
structed. The Minnesota Section, i'm
mediately on its completion, entered
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-fve
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
west. The earnings of the road for 1873
will be large.
Arrangements for pushing construction
vigorously the present year are progress
ing satisfactorily.
of the nearly Ten Million acres of land
accruing to the Company in connection
with the portion of Road now virtually
constructed, some Two Million acres, of
excellent average quality, are in market,
and their sale and settlement progressing.
The average price thus far realized is
1886 per acre-which is at the rate of
more than 500, 900 per mile of road for
the whole grant.
The Company has already begun the
process of redeeming and canceling its
First Mortgage Gold Bonds, as they are
now being received at 10 in payment
and exchange for the Company's lands.
With these accomplished results and
most favorable prospects, the Company
is now selling its First Mortgage 7-30
Bonds for the purpose of completing its
line of Road. We recommend them as a
well secured and unusually profitable in
vestment. They have the following
elements of strength and safety: They
are First Mortgage on the Road, its
Right Of way, Telegraph lines, Equip
ments and Franchises, and first lien on
its Net Earnings. In addition to this
usually sufficient security there is pledged
for the payment of principal and in
terest, Land Grant of 1880 acres per
mile of road through the States, and
25, 600 through the Territories. The rate
of interest (seven and three-tenths per
cent. gold) is equal now to about 81 cur
rency. Gold checks for the sens annual en-
tereSt on the Registered Bonds are mailed to
the Post Office address Of the OaOner.
All marketable securities are received
in exchange on most favorable terms

Ashes and Salt for Growing Wheat.

All farmers who have growing wheat
should avail themselves of the opportuni-
ties offered in the leisure davs of winter
to top dress the wheat land with these
substances. Ashes, from the contained
potash, afford a 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
that Of other vegetable forms more appa-
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 a 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 not
over one hundred ponds per acre. rhe
price of salt does not place it beyond
economical use as 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 a
dollar and quarter. Salt is not only
stimulating to the growth and effective
in the yield of wheat, butproduces earlier
maturity of the crop, thus affording an
avenue of escape from that other malady
OF the wheat plant, rust on the stem and
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.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Cream for Coffee. Beat well one egg
with one spoonful of sugar; pour pint
Of scalding hot milk over this, stirring II
briskly. Make it the night previous.
Vanilla Cookies. s.-One cup of sugar
half cup of milk, two teaspoonfuls of
vanilla. Roll out very thin and bake q
delicate brown. Leave out the vanilla,
and you have sugar cookies.
The three reasons given by those not
in favor of live posts are: 1t is difficult
to grow 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
ing noise caused by overreaching in
horses will be prevented if the blacksmith
in shoeing cuts off the toe or crust of the
shell of the hoofs on the fore feet instead
of on the hind feet, as Is the frequent
practice.
For mixed pickles, prepare any vege-
tables you like by cutting them in pieces
and let them lie in salt and water for two
or three days; then make the pickle in
the following manner: Boil the quantity
of vinegar required with peppercorns,
mustard seed, small quantity Of mace, q
few cayenne pods and ginger, and half a
pound of flour of mustard mixed smoothly
in basin, to be put in while boiling; put
all together in large stone jar.
"A suggestion which may be of use to
everybody who keeps house and owns a
garden, grapevine, or pear-tree, is
made herein: Out of two bushels of bones
saved from time TO time during the year,
a bushel and half of ashes, a peck of
lime and three pals of water, boiled to-
gether and mixed with muck in equal
quantity, the writer has made barrel Of
phosphate equal to the best in the market,
and at the cost of less than dollar. He
applies it to his grape-vines and dwarf
pear-trees with magical effect.
OF all our domestic animals there are
none that require more systematic care
than the horse. A horse should be fed
regularly, and in moderate quantities and
worked judiciously. A horse kept in this
way may be kept at moderate cost, will
be more healthy and perform more labor
than if fed highly, or as many we know
of are in the habit of feeding their horses.
They will surely eat enough to injure
them if they can get it. When hay is
kept constantly before them, horses are
apt to spend their time in throwing it
around topsy-turvy in the rack; they soon
become dissatisfied with their food, and
lose their keen relish for it. The general
practice should be to feed regularly three
times a day

Agricultural improvement.

eREHT deal has been spoken and writ
ten concerning agriculture and its influ-
ence on the nation and on the individual,
aud il will not be denied that the ad-
vancement 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 Sctence-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-
NIT no innovation on the rules and prac-
tices of ones forefathers, no deviation
from the customs of other years, there
cannot possibly be taken any step for
ward. When mind is SO constituted
that it can find nothing attractive in
the invention of genius, or the discover
les of science, we can confidently assert
that it is stagnant and until its depths
are stirred by the power of enterprise
or learning, it will remain duh and slug
gish, contracting always.
We must get something to dispel old
preludices. Obstinacy is the result of pre-
judice and Of ignorance, and when we can
dispel them, we can, with reason, look
for improvement. Now, this is a fact
that demands more attention than it has
received. Unless farmers devote more
time to the cultivation Of their minds,
how can they make any desirable advance

sufficient for an entire sermon, IL 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. II 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 fs based
upon knowledge. An ignorant farmer is
sometimes successful, because the ciroum-
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
enoe 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
