CHINCIIILLA

The sociable little animal from the noun
tain districts of South America sacrifices
his skin, with his tail thrown in, for the
adOrning Of our fastidiOus neck and shOul-
ders. His silyery fur fairly shines, and, as
it has been worn very little during the past
season, promises to be very popular Tie
hair is long and soft, and differs in quality
and shade. The darker skins, in sets,
costing from $40 TO $50, and in smaller
sizes from SO to $50. 1t forms a stylish
garnish to velvet, and comes by the yard

1t is brought from the SHOWS and sOlitudes
of Siberia, and hunters alone know the real
value Of these little animals, the hardshipS
and dangers that accompany the search,
and the diScOuragementS that multiply
about them. The hair differs from that of
other fur-bearing animals in that it will
turn either way. The skins vary from so

WHAT THE PATRONS WILL BRING
AROT

On this subject, the Ner York Times
expresses the following opinion: The
sudden and brilliant fortunes made by
Western speculation will cease. Wealth
must be won by slow and patient indus
try, and great caution and Judgment.
We doubt if, this year, We have the
usual autumn stringency Of panic, be-
cause Of the accumulation Of capital
here on account of the dread OF the
Granger movements. In time. Of
course, this ease of the market and
accumulation of money here will lead
to speculation again; but for many
years, in our opinion, the Changers
will have brought a certain calm to the
fevered speculations of our Eastern
capitalists. The East viii now show a
more regular and measured growth"
Speculation and dishonesty grow up
together. Eastern capitalists have
been largely engaged in manufacturing
operations since the beginning of the
war, with a monopoly of the home
market, and made money so easily for
years that they ceased to know its
value. Let every freeman, If any such
there are TO be found IN the United
States buy goods and import them
when and where he can make it profit
able, and this robbery will cease.
Changers must learn to call things by
their right names. A tax on the ex-
change Of the products Of labor must
not be tolerated unless the taxing pow
er uses every dime of the money col
lected to the best possible advantage.
The Government in all its departments
must be held to 4 strict accountability
reducing expenses To the level of
sound economy. This reform will never
take place before the people demand it
in terms not to be misunderstood.

AGRICULTURAL PHYSIOLOGY

An instructive volume might be
written on agricultural physiology; for
everything produced on the farm, IN
the garden or orchard, has life; and all
life inherits from the vitality that be-
fore existed many properties peculiar
to its conditions, race and family. All
farmers know that old animals lose
their vital energy and become valueless
for breeding purposes. Fruit trees
grow old, cease to bear and die. All
living things are subject to disease and
dissolution; and the difference in the
vital force of one bushel of seed wheat
and another may alone give five bush
els difference in the yield per acre at
the harvest. If life in a horse inherits
strengthen feetness, big or small bones
from its parents and ancestors, life in
turnip. pear or cotton seed, obeys the
same great law of like producing
like. Constitutional weakness
descends from one generation to an
other, often intensified by age and adj
verse environment. Life everywhere is
being consumed, exhausted and re-
newed. The most skilful renewal of
vitality is what we understand by the
best system of agriculture. One often
has occasion to convert mechanical
force on the farm into vital force, and
it is an operation which deserves to be
studied.
Last spring, a fve-acre field was
ploughed and then sowed in Hungarian
grass. Chinch bugs eat it clean. A
part of the field was plowed and sowed
again to grass in June, which was also
destroyed by the bugs. Now there is
ten times more weight of weeds on the
part cultivated in June than on the
portion not plowed since April. Had
the second seeding of grass not been
killed, in place of a large crop Of
weeds there would have been some two
or more tons of hay per acre.
Let us inquire in what way the bare
moving of a pillow through the soil
once and Of a harrow two or three
times, gave existence to these tons of
weeds. Clearly, the mechanical force
that would have returned to the hus-
bandman a good crop of grass had
there been no insects. was not lost in
natures economy. She did not pillow
the ground, but did something better.
She utilised the force developed in the
mule and man by corn consumed to

stir the earth. Millions of bugs were
fed ON nutritious heritage, and the force
of tillage passed Owe into a conspic-
uous crop Of weeds to recuperate the
soil. But how does the motion of a
plow last week or month make a plant
grow to-day? How is the mechanical
force transferred from the tool to the
impressible vitality in the seed or
growing plant? Now comes in the
scientific principle, the conservation of
energy. Force is as indestructible
as matter; but a farmer may
waste it ~shoekingly just as he
may waste gold dollars. On the
ground that joins the weeds their seeds
did not germinate, or if they did the
drouth killed them early. The force IN
the pillow, harrow and hoe which makes
fine the soil, remains in its remarkable
condensing pOlOer as applied to gases
and vapors.
Pour water on recently burnt lime,
| and it becomes solid in the lime, and
gives out much heat that was before
quite insensible. Burning lime rock
makes it exceedingly porous and much
lighter than it was before. Tillage
changes the properties Of soil IN many
respects, resulting in both chemical
and vital developments of the utmost
consequence as the broad basis of ali
wealth, all food, raiment, social and
moral improvement. When a peck of
corn eaten by a plow-horse and plow-
man produces one hundred pecks Of
similar grain at the harvest, the man
has facts before him which viii preach
a great and true sermon if he will only
interpret the facts as nature presents
them.
A tobacco seed can have only a
speck of life at most, yet it gives ex-
istence to a large plant and n seed
of corn often produces two or more
ears, and one thousand grains. Fertil-
ity- grows not less than vitality. In
truth, there could be no life without
growing fruitfulness to sustain it.
There is motion and apparent ANNA
ton in all matter when the conditions
are favorable; and we know no more
when life began ON this planet than
when gravitation began. The remains
of animals in solid rocks in mountains,
upheaved by volcanic action, to the
depth of forty thousand feet have been
found. Life is old, and evolution is
upward. Human happiness is built
on tillage, husbandry and agricultural
physiology. Broad acres of sunshine,
with no science o agriculture, viii
support a few wild men and Wild beasts
but Christian civilization demands an
infinitely higher order of development
Farmers will see this and march al
once to the front of human progress
Instead Of wishing to sell their farms
if out Of debt, they viii study ways and
means to add ten fold to their natural
power of production. Nature greatly
loves fruitfulness, and fruitfulness i;
wealth and independence.

THE sauce that is good for the goose
is not good for the gander, and the
reason is thus pithily pointed out by
the Pittsburgh Post: A negro at
Nicholasvllle, Kentucky, and a negro
in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, COM
mitted the same horrible crime against
human nature, and they were both
Iynched by an Infatuated populace.
The Radical papers hereabout cite the
Nicholasville case, as a reason why the
United States Army should be sent
into the South to put down the Democ-
racy. But they draw no moral from
the fate of the Bedford county negro
other than to say, served him right.
Gov. Leslie has offered proper rewards
