Capabilities of an Acre.


]. M. Smith, market-gardener of
Green Bay, furnishes the HorticaturiSt
some interesting statements of his ex-
periments in high culture. He has
found the rule invariable, not single
exception to it, that the more he has
spent in eultivating and manuring, the
greater have been the net profits per
acre. Last season he cultivated fourteen
acres, and began with more thorough
and expensive cultivation than ever be-
fore. The result was that although
there was s'terrifc drought"-one of
the dryest seasons ever known in that
region-after spending S3,9S6, or 1884
per acre, he had better balance than
at any previous year. He appears to
regard constant cultivation, especially
through drought, in connection with
copious manuring, as all important
Stable manure is the standard; with such
use of superphosphates, plaster, lime,
ashes, other manures, as experience and
good sense point out. "After you have
learned how to spend money to best adj
vantage" he remarks, "a larger profit
may be made by laying out $500 per
acre than with less. After the second
year, if your land does not pay all its
expenses, taxes, and 10 per cent on
$1,000 per acre, there is something
wrong somewhere. / have some acres
of land that did not pay expenses for
two years, but for number of years
past have not failed to pay 10 per cent.
on at least $4,000 per acre. expect
my whole garden to do more than that
in a short time" He adds, that he is
now aiming at 1000 bushels Of onions
per acre, then a crop of carrots or tur-
nips, or 500 bushels of early potatoes;
or if strawberries, 12 800 quarts, or 400
bushels per acre. This amount of straw
berries is not wholly impossible, as we
have known, under our own observation,
this rate on two-thirds of an acre.

The new one-dollar legal tender note
has upon its back two large cross lines,
which form almost the Roman figure
ten. To the Impractical handler of
money mere glance at the reverse side
would indicate that it represented on its
back ten times the value of its face. In
the South the colored people in MANY
instances have received them for ten
dollar bills, and the Treasurer is advis-
ed that quite profitable business has
been carried on by some scamps in this
way. These reports are supported by
the collateral evidence which is furnish
ed throughssthe large number of bills of
large denomination which have been
changed with ones at the request of
Southern correspondents by the United
States Treasury. In Canada, it is said,
the note, for this reason, is refused alto
gether, and large number are daily
received at the Treasury for exchange

MISCELLANY.
Force OF Imagination.


An esteemed friend of ours heard Of
the medical properties OF a certain spring
some distance from where she resided.
She had read a pamphlet that enumer-
ated many diseases, from which she rec
orgnized at least half dozen with when
she was afflicted. To her great joy she
was told that her son had to call at the
very town where the spring was located,
and five-gallon keg and strict iuJunc-
tion were laid upon him to bring back
some of the water.
The keg was put in the wagon, and
slipping under the seat was quite over
looked. He had got near home IN the
evening. when feeling down under the
seat for something, his hand struck the
ksg. He therefore drew up his horse by
the side of a wall, near which was the
old sweep we'll from which the family
had drank for a century, and filling the
keg went home. The first question put
10 him was:
'sDid you get that water?"
"Yes," said he, "but darned if see
any difference in it from any other wa
ter" And forthwith the keg was brought
in.
Al cup was handed to the invalid, who
drank with infinite relish, and said she
was surprised at her sons not seeing a
difference. There was undoubtedly a
medical taste aboutit, and it dried up as
other water did, which she had always
heard of mineral water.
Her son hoped it would do her some
good and by the time the keg was ex-
hausted she was ready to give a certIti-
cate of the%alue of the water, it having
relieved her of all her numerous ills.
"There was an old family fuel between
them," was what witness in Chicago
murder case said to the jury. The Judge
asked her if she didn't mean "feud?'
and, she asked him who was telling the
story

The Ideal Farmer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essays,
thus portrays the glory of the farmer:
The glory of the farmer is that, in
the division of labor, it is his part to
create. All the trades rest at last on his
primitive authority He stands close to
nature; he obtains from the earth the
bread and the meat. The food which
was not he causes to be. The first farm
er was the first man, and all historic
nobility rest on the possession and use Of
land.
Men do not like hard work, but every
man has an exceptional respect for till
age and the feeling that this is the orr
ginaI calling of his race, that he himself
is only excused from it by some circum-
stances which made him delegate it
for time to other hands. If he had
not some skill which recommended him
to the farmer, some product for which
the farmer will give his corn, he must
himself return into his due place among
the planters. And the profession has in
all eyes this ancient charm, as standing
nearest to God, the First Cause.
The beauty of nature, the tranquility
and innocence of the countryman, his
independence and his pleasing arts-the
cares of bees, of poultry, of sheep, of
COWS, the dairy, the care of hay, of fruits
of orchards, and forests, and the reaction
of these on the workman in giving him
strength and plain dignity, like the face
and manners of nature, all men acknowl
edge. All men keep the farm in reserve
as an asylum, where, in case of mis-
chance to hide the property, or soli-
tude, if they do not succeed in society.
And who knows how many glances of
remorse are turned this way from the
bankrupts Of trade, from mortified plead
er's in courts and senates, or from the
victims of idleness and pleasure? Poison
ed by town life, and town vices, the
sufferer resolves :-"Well, my children,
whom have injured, shall go back to
the land, to be recruited and cured by
that which should have been my nurs-
cry, and now shall be their hospital"

DECORATION DAY.-Saturday, the Both, is Dec
grafton Day-the day set apart for decorating
with flowers the graves Of the martyrs who died
war has not yet died ont, but is gradually fading
year by year. One cheerful sign of the return
ing good feeling, is the fact that in most places
there will be no distinction shown in decorating
the graves of Northern and Southern soldiers
This may seem to some like honoring the wrong
as well as the right; but upon calm reflection,
there is nothing wrong improper in it. The
mass of the Southern people were taught and led
to believe they were in the right; and so bcliey-
ing, they fought with bravery that has never
been surpassed Laboring under disadvantages,
and suffering privations Of the severcst charac.
ter, they fought with a valoI and steadfastness
that challenged the admiration of the world.
They were American citizens, and although in
the wrong, in their pluck and bravery they did
honor to the name. The surviving rebels have
all been parloned, and many of the leaders now
occupy seats in the United States Congress, upon
an equality with the most loyal Union NEIL
Where, then, can be the wrong in bestowing the
simple bnt beautiful tribute of flowers upon the
graves of the poor fellows who died in defence of
error, believing that they rightl The deco
ration of soldiers graves originated in the Soutl
and in many places in the South, they decorate
the graves of Union well as Confederate dead
If hatred and bitterness must still he harbored
let it be confined TO the living, and not be visit

SUCCESS BASED UpoN MERIT.

1t is subject of general remark, among both
wholesale and retail druggists, that medi-
cine introduced to the American public has ever
gained such popularity and met with so large
a sale in all parts of the land, IN the same length
of time as DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.
This cannot depend npon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medicine, as
such is not the case. The correct explanation,
we think, is found in the fact that this medicine
produces the most wonderful and perfect cures
of very bad cases of bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and
efficient remedy for all kinds of coughs that has
ever been introduced to the public. and at the
same time possesses the greatest of blOOd-purify-
ing and Strengthening properties that medical
science has been able to produce, thus rendering
Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs
but also for all diseases, blotches rough skim
pimples, black specks and discolorations. 1t has
therefore a wide range of application and useful
ness, and it not only gives the most perfect salts
faction to all who it, but far exceeds the ex-
pectations of the most sangune, thus elicting the
loudest praise, and making permanent iiriRg ad-
vertising mediums of all who use il. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps drug
gist in all the vast domain of this Continent
who tries TO please his customers and supply
their wants, that does not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine.
