AGRICULTU r AL.
IIOed Crops.

AS we 90 about the country and
observe the way some farmers man.
age their field crops, we are led to
believe that they do not sufficiently
realize the Importance of clean cul-
ture. There can bel doubt in the
minds of any, that all crops will do
better if all weeds are kept down
but yet, some deny this important
fact by their constant practice. We
20 further, and say that we believe
1t to be of great value to the hoed
crop to not only keep down the
weeds, but even to keep the ground
open and loose by frequently run
ming the pillow, cultivator, and horse.
hoe, as well as by the free use Of
the hand hoe. We know by exper.
fence, that in the time of extreme
drouth the ground that withstands
1t best, is that that is the lOosest and
and best pulverized. Contrast the
crops on such a soil with those on
hard, lumpy, baked soil, and the
difference will be quite apparent.
The growth of the crop seems to be
greatly promoted by frequent stir
rings, and it is a most excellent plan
to tickle the soil about the hoed
crops in order to obtain the highest
result. Much of this work can and
should be done by horse power,
which is so very much cheaper than
hand labor. There is a limit, of
course, with certain crops, for it is
not we'll to either cultivate among,
or hoe potatoes after they have
"laid down" and covered the ground.
We think it does more harm than
good to hoe them after they are in
bloom.
Corn should be hOed two or three
times, but after it has fully tassled
out, it is not profitable to run
through it with a horse, or to hoe it.
Cabbage and cauliflowers are
among the crops that should be
hOed often, and are improved by
every hoeing, while all vines should
be left alone as soon as they have
run to any considerable length.
Root crops are usually improved by
frequent hoeings, or stirring of the
soil. One reason why many crops
receive benefit from such treatment
as we have spoken of, is because
the loose soil absOrbs more readily
the dew and showers, however light
much to the advantage of the grow
ing crop. Let those who doubt in
regard to such matters, try tho
experiment carefully, and note the
results.

PEABODY Medical INSTITUTE

Gifts excellence and popularity. The Peabody
Medical Institute is Il case in point. Founded
in good faith many years ago, and the only

success and ever-increasing popularity finally
caused the name Medical Instituted to be pi-
rated and adopted by Il lot of infamous quacks
empires and prctenders, who have been Ell
deavoring to cheat the public by sailing under
a stolen flag. Tho founder of the Peabody
Medical Institute can in no way be held re-
sponsiblc for this misuse of the name of
reputable and well-knOwn curative establish
ment and Legitimate institution, which has
been from the start specially devoted to the
treatment of nervous arrangements and af
fections. from whatever cause proceeding
During its existence there have been issue
from its several medical publications quite
recently work on Diseases of the Nervous
System, which have had a worldwide circu-
lation and popularity. These publications
sufficiently attest the high character of the
institution under whose patronage these med.
zeal works have been published. Meantime
it is gratifying to know that several of the
impudent charlatans, who have stolen its
name to cover their nefariOus practices, are
getting their deserts in the penal institutions

A JUST COMMENT. Three hun.
bred persons constituted the Assem-.
blage in Syracuse yerteriay, calling
themselves the National Christian
association, and declaring relentless
war against all secret societies, es.
pecially the Free Masons, which they
mcrcilessly resolved to resist, expose
and eXterminate. We do not know
who these three hundred determined
people are, but there are many
thousands in the United States,
their equals in character and stand
ing, who are continually declaring
eternal warfare against Masonry,
Odd Fellowship, and kindred socie-
ties, because at some period in their
lives they were "black- balled." 1t
is a slight consolation to our Mason
ic fellows citizens, however, to know
that while these three hundred ex.
terminators we're venting their rage
in Syracuse, a convention Of from
500 to 1000 of their own brethren.
representing $4,000 members in the
State, we're peacefully celebrating
in New York not for the extermina-
ton Of any people, sect or class,
but in behalf of peace, good order,
morality and religion. And having
survived severer opposition than
this of the Syracuse three hundred,
it is likely that they will hold on to
life for a time yet, while the chronic
malcOntents, who see only evil in
that which is hidden from their own
narrow vision, wage their impotent
warfare of highsounding resolutions
for people of common sense to laugh
at.-Troy Times.

Mn Mothers Gold Beads.
by MRS. l.. \. JOHNSON, New Haven, Conn,

All dark and deep, 'gainst mem0ry's sky.

The parting clouds that hide my Wow;
And rs the light grows stronger-thcre
Ny mother sits In the old arm chair
Her cheeks are round and rosy, too,
Her hair and eyes of the deepest hue;
For time and care have not, Just now,
Set the seal OF age upon her brow.
With me tonight, the old arm chair"
Upon her arm the laughing eyes
And lisping tongue gave back replies;
While baby hands, all dimplcd DER,
Fingered her nckless DER and DER;
Then rocked to slcep-still clasping there
The golden beads-in the old arm chair.
Not one, but ten, these golden bands
Have tOyed and claspcd with tiny hands
Five rosy boys with their golden curls,
And merry hearts five laughing girls,
A mothers love have come tn share,
Aud been rocked to sleep in the old arm chair
Re not surprised-beforc YOU stands
The baby girl of the dimpled hands;
Around her neck, as once of yOrc, .
Irvine the golden beads her mother wore;
wonders no more to baby eyes,
Yet fraught with golden memories!
Full fifty years-and even more
These golden beads my mother wore
Through joy and grief: from heart to brain
The life-blood surged, and back again,
Til age came on--yicding to fate
Her life cbbed out through the golden gate,
! sec her not and yet know
She hovers near as of long ago;
And the golden beads she used to wear,
Are unto me not half so dear
As the angel arm, in guardian care
Around me thrown in the old arm chair.
Yet time will come when shall see
Her angel face, as in infancy;
When life and all its scenes shall be
Exchanged for Immortality
And of memories dear, no need will be there
OF golden beads or the old arm chair
