Is Drainage Needed?

A writer in the Massachusetts Poatqh-
| man thus concentrates some of the argu-
ments IN favor of drainage:. What are
the effects of drainageY Thorough drain
age deepens the soil Of what use is it
to pillow deep and manure heavily, while
the soil is full of water? The roots of
plants will go down into stagnant water;
the elements of plant food are not all on
the surface; many of them have been
washed down by the rains; some of them
are found in the decomposing rocks
themselves. Take away the water and
the roots will find them. Drainage
lengthens the seasons. In our climate
this is an important point to be gained.
If by drainage one or two weeks could
be gained it would be quite a relief In
our backward springs, when there is so
much to be done in short space of
time. Drainage increases the effect of
the application of manure. The soil
being dryer is more easily worked fine.
The manure is also more evenly dis
tributed. The water also passing
through the soil carries fertilizing mat
ter down to the roots of the plants.
Where there is stagnant water manure
must decompose slowly, if at all; but
let the water pass off, the air is admit
ted, and decomposition takes. place.
What observing man is there that does
not know that his crops are improved
in quality by drainage? Sweet English
grass and clover take the place of sedge
and rushes.

much in the summer time. IF the
grubs were, destroyed, the pest would
become extinct. .
Sheep should have plenty of exercise
and fresh air. Above all things they
should not be allowed to lie on warm
manure piles, which they will do if per-
mitted. A pailful Of boiling water
should be put into the trough to take
the chill off from the water. This is
especially useful for in-lamb ew IS to
which a chill from drinking lee-cold
water may be hurtfuI. NTH. Southern
States, where sheep are running in the
fields or woods, shelter should be pro.
vided. Where they are yarded, they
should be kept dry. Dry feetare never
troubled with the foot-rot.
| A few early laying hens that have
been well fed will become broody
about this time. It will not pay tc
allow them to tsit." The chicks can
not be raised with profit. Such hens
should be given few pills made OF
CASTLE soap and sulpher, have no warm
food for few days, and be put into 8
shed where there is no place to make
a nest. They will soon get over their
incubative fever.

Orchards Grass.

USE Orchard grass, Kentucky blue
grass and white clover, and, if the
ground is low or moist, add redtop-
and you have the finest and most pro-
ductive pasture known among extern
sive stock growers, as i. requires no re-
seeding Orchard grass alone makes
the most profitable meadow, being i'm
mensely productive, and making excel
lent hay, twice as much Of it as timo-
thy-for term Of years. With us
timothy and clover turn out only two
good crops, and frequently but one.
Farmers need reliable meadows. To
SOW corn, millet, Hungarian. grass CT
some other substitute every year, to
make up for clover or timothy is very
discouraging, being expensive as well
as annoying. Orchard grass is the
remedy, and is destined to stand first
among grasses for pasture or hay.

Loved and Being Loved.

Perhaps there is no more painful
time in a Woman's life than the time of
transition, when the assiduous lover is
passing into the matter of fact hus-
band, and the wooer is gradually
changing into the master. WON en-,
who are SO much more sensitive than
men, more sentim entail, too, and less
content to trust in silence to an I'M
demonstrative affection, are for the
most part happy only while they are
being made love to. 1t is not enough
to be loved, they want to be told twenty
times day, and to have the harmonies
Of life enriched by crowd of "occa-
sional notes." embroidering the solid
substance by which they live. Men,
on the contrary, get tired of making
love. When they have wooed and won
they are content to be quiet, and to
take all the rest for granted. They are
not cold, however, because they are Sc
cure; and to most-and these are the
best practical kindness is better than
fattery; security ranks before excite
ment and hysteria, and life passed in
serene friendship, fearing no evil,
knowing no break, and needing no
praise, is better than life passed in a
perpetual turmoil of passion, where
there are scenes, tears, doubts and
broken hearts, if there are not endless
courtships and fatiguing demonstra-
tons.

A Falling Rock from Lockout Mountain

The Chattanooga {Tenn) Commercial
says: On Sunday hundreds of people
visited the mountain for the purpose
of taking a look at the immense mass,
which Is already severing itself from
the ledge Of rocks at Bragg's Bluff, near
the tollgate. The first indications of
this severing process were discovered
about a week ago, and since then the
work has been almost constantly going
on. The greatest progress so far dis
covered has been an inch an hour, but
on Sunday, at $50 P. M, it had reached
a distance of about sixteen feet from
the parent ledge. The crevice is about
thirty feet deep. The length of the
falling rock is about one hundred feet,
and the width about twenty-five feet,
and the weight is estimated to be 5000
tons. The rock commences Just above
the. spring near the toll-gate, out of
which, standing under this great mass
OF rock, SO many people have drank,
feeling perfectly secure. When the
rock falls it will take with it this cool
chamber where SO many have slaked
their thirst. The severed part is orna-
mented by three pretty good forest trees.
The distance between the road and the
cliff is so small that the rock will I'M
doubleday fall across the road and go
laundering down the side of the noun
tain, carrying with II trees and what
ever may be in its track. People are
still passing in front of it on foot, and
a few yenturesome ones on horseback.
Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, some
thirty tons of rock fell from the front
of the moving mass. It is still moving,
though less rapidly than heretofore.
The fall will be a wonderful sight"

Taking timothy hay as standard of
comparison, it requires one hundred
pounds of it to supply a certain amount
of nourishment. 1t is estimated by
careful experiment that the same
amount of nourishme emit can be obtained
by using the following quantities of
food: Glover hay, 50 pounds; rye
straw, $50 pounds; oat straw, 220
pounds; potatoes, 1876 pounds; carrots,
$50 pounds; beets, $40 pounds; ruta-

The Nanigos and Their Strange Rites.

From Havana Cor. of the New York Times.
The fNanigo" is designation that
has been applied for years to the negro
and mulatto rough of this and other
cities in the island, who is generally a
negro criolio," or one born here, of
abandoned habits, and criminal in
stincts. Havana is credited with hav-
ing a secret society of these Nanigos,
bound together by the most solemn
vows and mysteries, which partake in
their character of the disgusting prac-
tees and denominations of the Voudoo
societies in the Southern States and the
superstitious and fetish cult of the
African Obi religion. Last Sunday
night the police of this city made de-
scent upon house in Fundicion street,
where it was supposed a party of Mani
COS had assembled. The few officers
who first entered were set upon by
multitude of negroes, mulattoes and
few whites, and one of them received
a severe blow upon the wrist, but few
shots fired in the air as signal served

the farm. AIM, anv kind Of soil
c tanunh III th1s valley, with deep and
thorough Gu, cure and an abundant
supply OF rAanure will do. Successful
garden Culture is mainly dependent
upon tFAree things-first, an unlimited
supply of well rotted manure and the
I'd trough preparation of the soil before
planting; second, planting at the right
season; third a thorough cultivation
and pulverization and frequent STIR
ring of the surface soil during the
period of growth of the plants. But
he first and most important step to be
taken, to secure good garden is what
most farmers would consider an over
supply of well rotted manure, such as
has been put in piles, sheltered from
the rain, and frequently forked over to
prevent firefang.
From 10 to 90 tons of such manure
is often applied by gardeners to every
quarter of an acre of land, and is not
thought by them to be any too much.
The size of the garden must be govern
ed by the size of the family-one acre
as an average will be small enough. A
little observation and calculation will
convince any farmer that the products
of a single acre, thoroughly cultivated,
as it should be, will actually give more
profit than any other acre on the farm,
according to the time and labor ex-
pended on it. But, in order to work
the garden economically, it should be
laid out with a few roads and avenues,
SO as to pillow and till the land as much
as possible by horse power. Diligence
is the price to he paid for good gar
den, for in cultivating it, it is important
to begin the destruction of the weeds
just after they have sprouted. We can
go in with a cultivator at that time
and feel like Sampson, for we can slay
our thousands and tens of thousands.
No matter if the garden contains only
quarter of an acre, let it be laid out
long and narrow, and work it by horse
power as far as possible, and do it
often.
A farm without a garden is some
thing we dislike to see. The vegetables
and small fruits which can be grown in
them, promote health, comfort and en-
joyment. Think of it, you who have
been accustomed to having good gar
den, of doing without asparagus and
radishes in March, spinach and lettuce
in April, followed by gooseberries,
strawberries, raspberries, blackberries,
etc. We feel like agitattng this sub
ject until every farm, both large and
small, has good vegetable garden

The most beautiful girl in the United
States lives In Fulton, Mo. She was at
the college soiree recently. Her. eyes
send forth a light so efulgent and mag
netic that strangers become spell
bound under its influence, and stand
rudely gazing. Her cheeks bear a
bloom like the sunny side of an early
peach. A pearl would seem almost
black beside her teeth. Her form is SO
graceful that men worship before see
ing her face. Her hands suggest the
idea of waxen fingers tipped with YER

illuminate her presence, and when she
laughs the listener fancies he hears a
sweet music in the distance"

LITTLE FEET.

In castle hall or cottage hor'es,
Wherever guileless childhood roams,
Oh there is nothing half so sweet
AS busy tread of little feet. -
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purling rill, the organs power,
All STIR the soul, but none so deep
AS tiny tread of little feet.
When forth we go at early morn,
To meet the world and brave its scorn,
Adown the garden walk SO neat
We see the prints of little feet.
At eve when homeward we repair,
With aching limb and brow of care,
The voices sing out clear and sweet,
Then comes the rush of little feet.
The knives are lost, the dishes stray,
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail of little feet.
But when the angel Death hath come,
And calls these f1owrets from our home,
Oppressive silence reigns complete
We miss the sound of little feet.
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors go slamming all the day;
But, oh! 'twould give us pleasure sweet
To hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night has come, all are asleep;
Yes, all but mel vigil keep
Hush, hush, my heart, and cease to beat
Was that the step of little feet?
Yes, mother, twas the softened tread
Of him you miss and mourn as dead,
And often, in your sweetest sleep,
You'll dream of hearing little feet.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And you approach that blissful shore,
The first to run your soul to greet
Will be your darling's little feet.

Restoring Wornout Soils.

A farmer who will exhaust the fer
tility of his land by raising any crop
until it no longer yields a fair return
for labor expended in its culture, de-
serves no pity from anybody. Such a
system of farming is far too common,
but nevertheless a, disgrace to those
who practice it. We will also add that
a man who undertakes to make farm
ing pay, while depending upon COM
mercial manures purchased in the
market, is pretty sure to come to grief
sooner or later. There are far better
methods of restoring fertility to worm
suit soils, and> it is rather strange that
our farmers have not learned them
before this late day. Keep more stock,
especially sheep, raise green crops to
turn under, also roots to feed the stock,
as well as soiling crops, such as drill
corn, millet, and clover, all of which
will tend to enrich the farm instead of
making it poor.

School Cllildren's Eyes.
From the Cincinnati Times.


The effects of school life upon the
eyes of the children seems to be some
what pernicious, especially where the
desks IN a school room are badly ar
ranged as to light. Our Superintendent
of Schools, Mr.. j. b Peaslee, reports
that in June last the distinguished oc-
culist, DIR. D. B. Williams, made an ex-
animation in our schools of the eyes of
1854 children, and discovered that in
the district schools 1927 per cent. were
near-sighted; in the intermediate
schools, 1873; and in the normal and
high schools, 22.75 per cent. From
observations in New York and in Eu-
rope, similar results are reported. It
is evident, therefore, that school life
induces and increases near-sightedness.
