sPrinsins up around them, yearn for

frequent opportunities are afforded to

Especial advantages are offered here
for stock farming. Horses, Cattle,

Learning the Trade Of Farming.

In leading English agricultural
paper We fud an advertisement stating
that "a respectable aud intelligent
youth, age seventeen, having had
three years experience of farming, is
desirous of being engaged on a good
stockfarm to assist 10 its management.
Excepting some little differences in
the language used and excepting that
we do not often fud boys Of seventeen
in this country advertising for places
on farms with an evident design OF
studying particular branch Of Agri-
culture; there is nothing noteworthy
thus far in the advertisement. When
We come, however, to the question of
pay We doubt not many Of our young
readers will be astonished. Read what
this young fellow asks, and decide il
there bs in all America, a boy of like
age and experience who would think
Of such thing! He says ;-"Whers
his services will be considered equiya.

This boy evidently thinks he can
learn something about stock manage.
ment which will be Of value to him in
the future, and does not think he has
already found out all that is to be
known. Seriously. however, this ad-
vertisement is worth thinking about,
in reference to the future Of our
American Agriculture. 1t illustrates
one great difference between US and
our British neighbors, We pay Ear
less attention to thoroughly preparing
ourselves to farm iutelligently and we'll
We are less disposed to prepare our
selves for one special branch Of farm
ing, aud are far more disposed; than
are they, to thiuk little reading, a
little observation, or our own shrewd
ness, without either reading or obser.
vatlon, will teach US how to farm.
The circumstances are very differ
ent in the Two countries, but the time
is already come when respectable and
intelligent youths may do wisely to
think less OF the wages they can Sc
cure as general farm "hands," and
more Of securing a situation in which
they can learn thoroughly some branch
of farming, looking to good pay in fu.
ture years.

The Inebrlate Asylum Act to be
Tested.

We stated in the Post = few weeks
ago that it was proposed to get up =
case to test the coustitutionality Of the
act imposing : license on liquor sellers
to be applied to the State Insbriase
Asylum. The case for that purpose
was initiated on Monday by a com.
plant before City Justice George
against Mr., Edward Cassidy, the WELL
known restaurant keeper Of this city,
for failing to take out the license as
required BY law,
The case was prosecuted by Messrs
G. NJ. Start and G. q. Wilson, and
defended by r A. Jones. Mr. Cassi-
dy admitted the facts necessary to
make out a case, but plead not guilty,
and motion was made to dismiss the
action on the ground of the unconsti-
tutiouality Of the law, which was over
ruled by the Justice. A witness was
examined and Mr.. Cassidy was found
guilty and fined $25 and costs.
An appeal was at once taken, and on
Thursday the papers in the case we're
sent to Winona with the expectation
Of getting it certified by Judge Mitch
ell to the Supreme Court, 10 order to
get there prompt and final decision
as to The constitutiouality Of the Law
imposing the license.
Our readers will understand that
upon the decision of the Supfeme
Court in this case depends the eree.
ton Of the Inebriate Asylum in this
city. If the law is decided to be con-
stitut;onal, the tax will be collected
and the Asylum will be built, but if
not, Why then probably not,-Roches.

The Consolidation.

What Mr.. DonncI!y thinks of the
cons lidation of the Press :ad Pioneer.
One Of the most extraordinary events
in the political history of the North
west has just transpired in the cousoli-
dation of the Press aad Pioneer Of St.
Paul into one paper, to be known here
after as the Pioneer. Press.
There ere all sorts of rumors as to
the reasons for this unexpected change
Those that lie on the surface are prob.
at ly tie true ones, viz: The hard
times the cost Of maintaining two
such large and expensive daily papers
anl tie f.ct that the dividing line
between the parties has Of late become
rather dim and shadowy.
We are always inclined to take the
most generous views of the motives Of
our contemporaries, aad We are. there
fore, disposed to believe that Mr.
Wheelock has, for many months,
writhed under the necessity which was
imposed upon him: as editor of a party
organ, to defend men aud measures
from which bis soul revolted. We
cannot believe that he would now at
tempt to bring his journal, like ano,h-
er Trojan horse, into the camp Of the
Independents, to betray them.

PLANTS AS DocroRs.-In addition
to the pleasure that may be derived
from Horticulture, the sanitary value OF
flowers and plants is feature of the
subject so important as to call for spec
ial mention. 1t was known many
years ago that ozone is one OF the forms
in which oxygen exists in the air, aud
that it possesses extraordinary powers
as an oxidant, disinfectaat and decd.
orizer. Now, one of the most impor-
tant OF late discoveries in chemistry is
that made of Professor Mautogazza, OF
Pavia, to the effect that ozone is gen
Grated in immense quantities by all
plants and A,wers possessing green
leaves and aromatic odors. Hyacirths
mignonette, heliotrope, lemon, mint,
lavender, narcissus, cherry laurel, and
the like, all throw off ozone largely on
exposure to the suns rays; aud so
powerful is this great atmospherical
purifier, that it is the belief of chemists
that whole districts can be redeemed
from the deadly malaria which iniests
them, by simply covering them with
aromatic vegetation. The bearing Of
this upon flower culture in our large
cities is also very important. Export
ments have proved that the air Of cit.
les contains less ozone than that of the
surrounding country, and the thickly
inhabited parts OF cities less than the
more sparsely built, or than the parks
and open squares. Plants and flowers
aud green trees can alone restore the
balance 80 that every little Aower.pot
is not merely thing Of beauty. while
it lasts, but has direct and beneficial
influence upon the health Of the neigh
borhood in which il is found.-Appe-
