Tho point to which we now call

been shown, both by experiment

only one experiment: Some twenty

hollow, to the heighth of eight feet,
was filled and rammcd with u COM

Flowing is simply n mechanical
action, and, rs such, is of tho great.
est Importance to the growing plant.
BY proper pulvcrization you make
the home Of the plant moro com.
Portable, allowing free movement of
its lower limbs in whatever direction
instinct may select. Again, when
in proper filth, tho plant can send
its sprongiolo rootlets in every di-
roction in quest of food, so that,
metaphorically speaking, "no pcnt.
up Utica" made so by barriers of
hard, impcnctrablc soil around and
below, contracts its powers or cir.
cumscribcs the limits in which it
shall draw its supplies. But good
mechanical action leads to and is
productive of chemical action-so
their increased fertility is often su.
perinduced By proper culture. Ger
tain organic and mineral matters in
the soil require the free access OF
the air in order that the oxygen Of
of the latter may exert its influence
in bringing the former into soluble
or available food for the plants.
The moro and deeper we stir the
soil, the quicker and moro effective
this action. 1t matters not for this
purpose whether We turn the sod or
not; the great object is to let in the
air. Again, by deep plowing we
render the soil warmer. This can
be- tested by placing the thermome.
Ter alternately upon shallow and
leep plowed lands, and the latter
will always show an increased tenn
oeratnro, and warm temperature

oIant life. Again, we increase by
leep blowing the capacity Of tie
oil for retaining moisture, and thus
partially perfect it against IL drouth
which our summers usual y bring.

,lishcd by keeping the soil con-

Running n Newspaper.

BY some unaccountablc misap-
prehension of facts, there is large
class Of people in tho world who
think that it costs little or nothing
to run newspaper, and if they
buy copy from the nowsboy, when
too far from the Office to como and
beg one, they are regular patrons,
and entitled to unlimited favors.
Men call every day at the news
paper offices to get q copy Of the
daily paper, Just from the press, for
nothing, who would never dream of
begging n pocket handkerchief from
u dry goods store, or piece Of
candy from the confectioner, even
upon the plea of old acquaintance,
having bought something once be-
fore. One paper is not much, but Il
hundred a day amounts to something
in the course of time. But this is n
small drain compared with the free
advertising newspaper is expected
to do. Some men who have paid
two dollars at an early period of
life for an advertisement worth four
or five appear to think they are
stockholders in the establishment
for eternity. They demand the pub
LEGATION Of all marriage and funeral
notices, and obituaries and family
episodes, for the next forty years,
gratis. Speak of pay and they grow
indigant. Don't Ipatronize your
paper?" Eyes; but you receive the
worth Of your money for what you
pay. "But," says the patron, sit
will not cost anything TO put this
in," which is as ridiculous as to ask
a man to grind your AK on his
grindstone, and graciously tell him
it won't cost a cent. 1t takes money
to run a newspaper as well any
other business; no paper will succeed
financially that carries a dead-head
system. Any mention of the peoples
affairs that they are anxious to see
in print is worth paying for, and,
when printed, generally worth as
much as any other investment of the
same amount.
The newspaper business is very
exacting on all conneced with it,
and the pay comparatively small
the proprietors risk more money for
smaller profits, and the editors and
reporters and printers work harder
and cheaper than the same number
of men in any other profession re-
curing the same amount Of intel
iigence, training and drudgery.
The life has its charms and pleasant
associations, scarcely known to the
outside world, but il has its earnest
work and anxieties and hours Of
exhaustion, which also are not
known TO those who think the bus
mess all fun. The idea that news
paperdom is a charmed circle, where F.
the favored members live a lie Of
ease and free from care, and so to
the circus at night on a free ticket
and TO the springs on free pass in
the summer, is an idea which we
desire to explode practically and
theoretically. Business is business,
and the journal that succeeds is the
one that is run on a square business
footing, the same as banking or
bu'lding bridges, keeping a hotel or
running a livery STABLE Memphis

From the New York world.


A European contemporary, which
is generally careful and considerate
in its facts, concludes that while of
late years there has been "a steady
and continuous rise in the ordinary
rate of household expenses" this is
not actually due to corresponding
increased dearness of household
commodities, but to an increased
scale of expenses because We live
higher and indulge ourselves more
freely than was formerly the case.
Palpably the writer has lived aloof
from lands curst by high tariffs and
low currency, or he would not be
able to say what he does. With US
the cost of living has at least
doubled during the past twenty
years, no matter where we examine
the price lists but it is undoubtedly
true of us, as it is of our English
cousins, that we have enlarged the
scale of our expenses unduly by
encouraging extravagant habits and
cxtravagant appetites. We have
learned TO spend out of all prepor-
ton to our aggregate earnings, for
tho reason that we have uncon-
ciously habituatcd ourselves TO a
system under which money was
very cheap and everything else
very dear. 1t is common remark
that an income Of 800 to-day is
not more than equivalent TO an in
come of 5000 in 1857 but this can
not be because the difference in the
value of money is so great. One
thousand dollars 10 day has, per-
haps, all the purchasing power Of
5000 in 1857, but our ideas are much
more magnificent now than they
were then, and we are consequently
worse off.
