upon satisfactory authority, that the party men
toned in ous hst issncias sha vins been on pros
pceiing tour, proceeded to the foot Of the noun
tain, on the eastern slopr, whore they had the
Qualification Of ofetainining aiscin OF bituminous
coal over four feet IN thickness and apparently Of
excellent quality. TO persons unacquainied With
the geological system Of cur earth, the finding Of
coal in such locality would occasion no surprise,
bnt to the gcologist II is natural paradox, ex-
plainable only by some accidental freak Of nature
This bed of pure coal, thoroughly examined by
II. II. shilingford, Esq, j. Il. Cameron and
others In the party is found to be located at least
s,OOu feet below the carboniferous formation, and
entirely under the silurian rock. OF course 1t is
far from its proper location, and must be the re-
suit Of an extraordinary local accident, and one
very difficult to explain. Were It possible to form
an immense cavern, say 10000 feet under the
present surface, In the vicinity of 0sceola or
lloutndile, with its dome reaching upward to the
coal formation, the accidental depression or fallin
in of the casbonierous strata, would prolue e
precisely similar results. Without regard to the
cause OF this rare freak Of nature the coal is there
as described above, Il now being worked, and will
20 doubt prove to be profitable enterprise. -

pests one year, l was advised to soak my
seed corn in solution of copperas and
saltPetre, using of pound each to the
bushel of ears of common eight-rowed
corn. The result was that my seed all
grew and lost none by the wire worms,
and l never saw corn have so dark and
vigorous color before, Since then
always soak my seed twelve hours after
being. sheiled. l do not as it would eff

sod. Some farmers axterminate them
by hunting them out in the hill and kills

More Education Among ! Farmers

1t lisa fact shown before the eBritish
Parliament,I that while the rental of
land in Ireland had do ubled during the
previous hundred years, and that of
England tripled, the rental of Scotland
has sextupled itself in the same time
This is attributed mainly to the vastly
superior school system which Scotland
has possessed, and the skill and enter
prise it has 6ostered among the people.
is a fact that a truck farmer within a
dozen miles tof any Of our large cities,
will get a~clean .gT roft of three or four
hundred dollars from an acre Of land,
while the average oid-style farmer. hrrdly
gets that amount Of profit from his bun-
died acres or more. These facts are
worth studying by the still large class
who do not sec the use of the agricul-
raj papers and. teaching, Ebut think mus
Gle is the main thing in successful farm
ing The truck farmer studies his mar
ket, knows what is wanted, learns how
to raise it when and where to sell it. be-
lieves in manure, buys il, believes in
knowing all about his business, takes
bis paper, reads and thinks, don't kick
at facts because they are printed, keeps
his eyes open, and drinks in knowledge
from men sand books. He keeps iearn-
ing and succeeds in bis business. There
it still.a large class of our farming popu-
lation completely stereotyped. Many take
no agricultural papers, attend no fairs,
no farmer's club, try no experiments,
have no faith in improved .FtooIs and
stock, and are hardly able to tell at the
end iof the year whether. they lose or gain
in their business. Suc eess in cuitivat>
ing the soil is already, and is to be more
and more, dependent upon brains. Men
who read and think most, plan most
wisely.and execute most skillfully, will
succeed BEST. We need al. help W can

Rye on Fall pIowed Land.


The only objection to fall blowing Is
that occasionally heavy rains pack the
soil, whereby much of the benefit Of al.
ternate freezing Eand. thawing is lest
This can be remediod by drilling in one
bushel of rye per acre late in the fall.
Rye is better than wheat for this pur-
pose, as it is less expensive. and, owing
to smaller grains, one bushel of rye is
equal in .seeding,to- a bushel and a half
Of wheat. Besides, rye grows stronger
than wheat, is less liable to winterkill,
and its matted. growth makes better
prossction to the soil from washing and
packing by rains or SHOWS.
Farmers have noticed that when win
TERRIFIED wheat is plowed and sown
with spring grain the crop is nearly al
ways excellent. This shows the advant-
