THE SILENT WOOER.

How can speak to thee' The far blue sky
Hath never speech for men;
The longing breezes round thee fit, and then
Unspeaking STILL they die.
Like sky and breeze, 1 gaze, murmur near
Oh must my heart be dumb:
And must my love like formless breezes come
To sigh and perish here:
/ cannot speak TO thee: and vet in this
A last dear hope may be.
For / could tell my loves eternity
In one long, silent kiss,
The GALAXY.

A CORRESPONDENT of the English Ne
chdnic gives the following recipe for
bag marking ink, the permanency of
which he says is perfect, even when
bags filled with chemical manures have
been in rain and sunshine over ten
days: Boil l b. of logwood chips in
gallon of water at boiling point ten
minutes, then stir in the eighth of an
ounce Of bichromate of potash, and boil
this ten minutes longer, then add, when
cold, Ii. of common gum, previously
dissolved, and stir well in. This will
flow well from the pen, and will mark
bags with either the stencil plate or
block. The cost of above ink is about
Cd. (l2 cts.) per gallon.

The United States Skate Trdde.-It
was not many years ago when all the
skates used in the United States came
from abroad, chiefly from Germany.
and the German skate importation was
a lucrative branch of trade. of late
this has almost entirely ceased. The
Americans make their own skates now.
and, oddly enough, the announcement
is made that one of their leading skate
factories, the Northampton Skate Com
pany. in Massachusetts is filling orders

A Fortune IN Toothpicks.-It seems
that it was not the invention of the
wooden toothpick, per Sc, that netted
the inventor $4,000, but the idea of
making the toOthpicks out of soft, brit
tie wood. 1t is said that, when first
brought ont, the tOothpicks were made
of hard fibrOus wood; bu tthe inventor
soon found that this would not pay, as
the picks lasted too long, and he went
to pine. 1t now takes four sound picks
to get the broken end of one out from
between the teeth; and it is the latter
discovery that is said to have realized
the inventor his fortune.

A GooD soil rarely fails, even in a
poor season, of returning paying in
come for the labor expended upon it in
the cultivation of any crop adapted to
it. The idea that the number of acres
in crops indicates the farmers income
must be abandoned, and the number of
bushels per acre must be looked for in
stead. There is certainly less profit in
plcwing fifty acres to raise 900 BUSH
els of grain than in blowing but twen-
ty-five to grow the same amount, and
trusting to good seasons for fair crops
will not be thought of by the improved
farmer. A rich and well cultivated
soil will usually make fair returns in
what we call bad or unfavorable seas
ons. What the farmer on poor soil
would call good season never comes.

BREEDING SwINE.-The secret of sue
cess in breeding swine and all other do
mestic animals, consist in taking proper
care of them always, having he young
come at the most suitable season, and
keeping them always improving by
the closest attention to cleanliness and
regularity in feeding. Refuse apples
may be prOfitably fed to pigs and store
hogs, also perishable vegetables which
are likely to go to loss by being kept
later in the season. Arrangements
should be made to have hogs in proper
condition for fattening early in the
fall, so that they can be sold or slaught-
cred before the rigors of winter COM
mence. Breeding sows require special
attention at all times.

For CHARLES SAkE.-Ihe office
door opened softly, and a stranger in
Door, soiled soldier clothes walked in,
The man who sat at the desk was a
lawyer-a judge-and he was very busy
over the papers of pending suit. 1t
was in the days of the civil war.
The stranger had borne his share of
the suffering that was in the land. He
had been wounded in battle; and, weak
and emaciated, he was on his way back
to his native State and town. But the
busy judge scarcely raised his eyes To
look at him. The poor soldier had
taken off his cap. and stood feeling
confusedly in his pockets.
II b.-.-I did have "a letter for
you, SIT"
The judge took no notice of the
timid, Eesitating words. He was very
busy, and he was conscious only of a
feeling of annoyance that a stranger
should break in upon his time.
The confused nervous search IN the
pockets continued, and the Judge grew
still more annoyed. He was humane
man but he had responded to SO many
soldiers applications already-and he
was so very busy just now. The
stranger came nearer and reached ont
thin hand. A letter, grimy and pOck-
ct worn, lay on the desk. addressed to
the judgei
81 have no time to attend to SUCH"
But the impatient sentence was check
ed on the good mans lips. The hand
writing on the letter was the hand
writing of his son. He opened the
letter and read:
"DEAR FATHER: The bearer of this
is a soldier discharged from the hos
pital. He is going home to die. Assist
him in any way you can, for Charities
sake
And then Judge A forgot how
very busy he was. His heart went out
toward the poor sick soldier, and "for
Charles sake" his own soldier-boy
far away, he loaded him with gifts, and
acts of kindness. and lodged him till
he could send him on his way rejoicing.

YEARS ago the ailment called 'hol-

very common, and in many yards cows

is no such disease as horn-ail, or hollow

that state of things indicates the pres

FENCEs.-The fence question is on

or no fences" We have several times
alluded TO il, says the Germantown Tel

other conclusion than that il was one
like many others-to be left to the judg-
ment of each farmer. This judgmen.
will depend upon the size. form, and
use TO which the land is put. Ii it is
for stock raising, some interior fences
are indispensable. If the farm is of
small size and used for cropping where
a few cattle only are kept, interior
fences can largely be dispensed with.
If, for raising vegetables and fruits,
there is little need for any but line
fences. No doubt on many farms dou-
BILE the extent of fences is used that
there is really any need for. On small
places, movable fences, which are now
made TO perfection, are all that are ne.

AGRICULTURAL.

NECESSARY FALL IN DRAINAGE.-A
correspondent of the Country Gentleman
writes: ''21 years ago / drained part
of a meadow 500 feet long, with fall
in that distance of less than two feet,
and with water at the outlet of the
drain ordinarily less than foot below
the surface Of the ground. The sur
face soil is a light, black vegetable
mould, about foot deep. The subsOil
is tough, firm clay, which had to be
broken up with a pick. The drains
were two rods apart, parallel with the
brook; the first one two rods from the
brook. The tile were laid two and a
half to three feet deep, and for the
whole length of the drains were more
than a foot below the surface of the
water at the outlet, and they have
never been obstructed since they were
laid. The only career or labor has
been to remove the mud or silt which
the steam deposits at the outlet in the
spring and autumn. The water is kept
from the surface just as effectually as if
the outlet were above the surface of the
water, though the water does not drain
off quickly in the spring of the year or
after heavy rains. The surface is thus
freed Of water sufficiently for hay
growing and making except when the
water in the brook is raised for few
days by transient rains.
"This is the only way this land can
be drained. An open drain could not
be kept clear of sediment and water
grasses where there is so little fall, nor
was the fall sufficient to overcome the
friction of the water in flowing through
such grasses. The consequence was
that with fall Of nearly two feet in
500 by midsummer the water would be
still just as near the surface at the up
per part of the piece as it was at the
lower. These drains have remedied
this. The advantage in putting the tile
so deep is to get them out of the way of
frost and disturbance by teams.
''This piece of land has lain in grass
20 years without manure, but the
coarse grasses had come in so much
that last September it was plowed and
seeded down again to timothy. The
operations upon the soil-plowing with
two yoke of very heavy cattle, harrow
ing, rolling, etc. have not ihterferred
At all with the operation of the drains"
