We are running the Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine No. 6, by steam power, at a speed
of 7UO stitches per minute on Ladies' and
Misses Fine Shoe Uppers, and find it superior
to any other machine in the following par
ticulars:
1t will close seams with heavy silk in leather
tighter, without puckering, than any machine
we know. 1t will close leather seams with
Marshall's Cabled Thread at above speed equal
to the Howe Cylinder Machine.
1t runs faster and makes a more regular
stitch on fine leather than any machine we
have ever used.
We believe it win prove very durable ma
chine, and when worn down may be repaired
cheaper and better than the average OF first
class machine. STRIBLEY & co.
We use and chcerfully recommend the
Wheeler & Wilson No. Sewing Machine as
the best in use for Shoe Fitting.

SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT
TREEs.-At the meeting of the Mary
land Academy of Sciences, Mr. P. G
Sauerwein spoke of the difference be-
tween the Development of plants from
seed and those obtained from cuttings.
He thinks that the principal reason why
varieties of many trees and plants, such
as poplar. peaches, apples, potatoes,
&c, not obtained from seeds, die or
deteriorate after yielding few crops, is
because the natural way of propagating
the species is by seed, not by cuttings
that the latter are influenced by the age
Of the tree from which they are taken.
New and vigorous varieties are obtained
from seeds and soon take the place of
former cultivated kinds. He instanced
the dying out of the Lombardy poplar,
which produces no seed, there being
only one sex of the tree in this country
and which has therefore to be propa-
gated by cuttings.
Many other gentlemen related their
experience, and all agreed more or less
with the correctness of Mr. Sauerwein's
opinion Dr. Morris thinks that insects
are the sole cause of the dying out of
many kinds of trees. Mr. Hilgert spoke
of the fine peach trees in New Mexico,
which bore delicious fruit for long
series of years, and grating being un-
known to the Indians. The only manure
for these trees is that furnised by the
foundations of the Rio Grande.

W'Mhe Harm.
TOP DRESSING

y. K Miles gives his experience at
The Gunpowder Farmers Club The
first thing to claim our attention is the
manure pile He would labor to make
it as large and as rich as possible. He
would keep land in grass as long as be
could, and keep it shaded. He finds
that land cultivated so much does not
seem to become enriched as fast as that
kept in grass and top-dressed. Top
dressing is great benefit to land. He
has been experimenting for the last year
or two, and he finds that this is the best
way manure can be applied to almost
any kind of soil He had small piece
of ground (heavy clay on which he tried
several ways to get set, but did not
succeed until he tried top-dressing of
manure-did more benefit than applied
in any other way We should labor to
consume as much as possible on the
farm, and look to the enrichment Of the
soil. If we enrich that it will enrich
US. According to the reports of some
of the members who have been COM
peting for the prizes, they are raising
three times what they did at the forma-
ton of the club. Increasing the pro-
duction should be kept in view. If we
don't make so much ready cash, we
make it eventually in the improvement
of the soil; the interest amounts to the
same.
Another member l. w. Price, thought
that rotation of cropping is necessary
on our soil BY the aid of lime, clover
and plaster, we can increase the fertility
of our soil all the time 1t is the opin-
ion of most of US, that the longer we
can keep our land in grass the richer it
becomes He has an acre, however,
that has been cultivated every year for
ten years, and, at the same time, gained
in productiveness. 1t was truck patch
for six years then put inpotatoes; then
trucked,.; then cropped in oats, produc-
ing 81 bushels The ninth year he grew
on it l6 barrels bushels corn; this
year 10 barrels l-2 bushel. The piece
was MANFRED lightly every year. He
did not try to grow anything extra. If
we farm the whole Of our land, and
manure, we can improve as rapidly as
to let lie idle. He belives clover is
great advantage to our soil ; lightens it
up. He has a twelve-acre piece which
gave him great trouble to pillow, until
he turned down on it heavy crop Of
clover, and lined twice; ever since it
has been light He is satisfied grow
ing timothy impovershes the soil

A GOOD RETORT.

A prince once said to Rabbi Ga
maliel: Y our God is thief; he sur
prised Adam in his sleep and stole a
rib from him
The Rabbits daughter overheard this
speech, and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking his permission
to answer this singular opinion herself.
He gave his consent
The girl stepped forward, and feign-
ing terror and dismay, threw her hands
aloft in supplication, and cried out
My liege, my liege, justice. revenge
"What has happened?' asked the
prince.
"a wicked theft has taken place, y
she replied. a robber has crept Sc
cretly into our house, carried away a
silver goblet, and left golden one in
it's stead
what an upright theft" exclaimed
the prince" Would that such rob-
berries were of more frequent occur
renee
Behold, then, sir, the kind of thief
our Creator was; he stole rib from
Adam, and gave him beautiful wife
instead"
"Well said :" avowed the prince

WATERING HORSES AFTER
MEALS.

A full drink of water, Immediately
after being fed, should never be allowed
to horses. When water is drunk by
them, the bulk of it goes directly to the
large intestines, and little of it retained
in the stomach. In passing through
considerable quantities of the contents to
where it lodges in the intestines If,
then, the food of the stomach is washed
out before it is digested, no nourishment
will be derived from the food In Edin-
burgh, some old horses were fed with
split peas, and then given water
Immediately before being killed 1t was
found that the water had carried the
peas from fifty to SIXTY feet into the
intestines, where no digestion took place
at all. Mr. Cassie is quite correct in
the views set forth regarding the injur-
ious effects of large quantities of water
swallowed Immediately after eating
A small quantity of fluid swallowed
along with, or Immediately after dry
food, benefcially softens it, and assists
in its division and digestion. An in
ordinate supply of water, or of watery
fluid, on the other hand, proves injurious
1t dilutes unduly the digestive secre-
tions; it mechanically carries onward
the imperfectly digested food, and thus
interferes with the proper functions of
the canal, and excites indigestion and
diarrhea. These untoward effects are
especially apt to occur where horses
freely fed and too literally watered are
shortly put to tolerably quick work
There is no more infallible method of
producing collie, diarrhea, and infamma-
ton of the bowels. The horse is not
peculiar in this effect; dogs, and even
their masters, similarly suffer from copi-
Gus draughts of water Immediately after
eating much solid food.

~ Philosophers tell US that every
uttered word produces vibration in
the atmosphere an ingenious theory
has therefore been preached that these
vibrations never entirely cease! If
this were true, we should still be NOV

THE CROSS.

Quaint though the construction be Of
the following poem, yet never has the
story of the Cross been told with more
truthful simplicity:
Blest they who seek,
While in their youth,
With sp iri meek,
The way of truth,
To the m the sacred Scriptures now display,
Christ, as the only true and liu,ng uay,
His precious blood on Calrary aoas gipen
To make them heirs of endless bliss in Hearen,
And cen on earth the child Of God can trace
The glorious blessings Of has Sariour's grace.
For t b m he bore
His fathers frown;
For t h m he wore
The thorny Crown;
Nailed to the Cross,
Endured it's pain,
That His life's loss
Might be their gain;
Then haste to choose,
That better part,
Nor cen dare refuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He dec are,
81 know you not
And deep despair,
Should be your lot.
Now look to Jesus who on Calvary died
And trust on Him who there was crucifed.

THE LITERATURE OF HOME

Do parents know what books their
children read9
The question is important, since on
its answer depends in part the veal or
woe of the next generation. The seed
that to-day is being sowed in the minds
of the boys and girls whose taste and
Judgment are as vet uniformed, will
spring up ten or twenty years hence to
bear grapes or thistles-life or death
1t is true that the children of this civ
ilized age have the benefit of our public
schools, of our vast free libraries, of the
refnements of art and culture, and these
are really immense advantages. But,
after all, these tasks at school are
merely perfunctory, and it may be ques-
toned whether there is not mass Of
trashy and poisonous light literature in
the public libraries that needs consid-
cradle winnowing. Yet besides this,
there is vast amount Of literature
ahoat ephemeral and vicious, that steals
into our homes to vitiate them. 1t is
not intended to be bad Its harm comes
from the ignorance Of those who gather
the poison and send it abroad. Its power
to work mischief arises from the want
of proper precautions on the part of
parents.
1t is an easy matter to exclude Ger
tain notably injurious books and peri
odicals from the family Preside. There
probably is perpetual watch in every
cultured home against the introduction
of any such literature But this is not
enough. There should be also careful
sitting of ALL that comes into the home.

PRACTICE WHAT You KNOW
Musical instruments, without handling,
will warp, lose their tone, and become
worthless; sprightly horse will lose
his metal by standing unbreathed in a
stable; rust will encase the sword that
hangs, unused, by the walls; the cynic,
rather than seek for work, will be still
removing his tub. Thus it is not God
meaning that any grace should lie dead
in US, much less the knowledge of Di-
vine truth. 1t should be made mani
fest in practice !; for happiness is not
assured to those that know, but to those
that do what they know.
