To CLEAN RUSTY PLoUGH.-Take q
quart of water and pour slowly into it l.alf
a pint OF sulphuric acid, The mixture will
become quite warm from chemical action,
and this is the reason why the acid should
be poured slowly into the water, rather
than the water into the acid, and let it re-
main on the iron until it evaporates. Then
wash with water and you will see where
the worse spots are. Apply some more ac-
id and rub on those spots with brick.
The acid and the securing W, remove
most of the rust. Then Was. Tie mould
board thoroughly with water to remove all
the acid, and rub it dry. Brush it over
with petroleum, OF other oil, and let it be
till spring. When you go to ploughing,
take bottle of the acid water to the field
with you, and apply it every bout to any
spot OF rust may remain. The acid and
the securing of the earth will soon make
it perfectly bright and smooth. If all iron
work be washed off with petroleum as soon
as we put our tools, implements and ma
chimes aside for the winter, it will keep
them from rusting, and save great deal of
trouble and annoyance, to say nothing
of the depreciation and loss.-R,mal

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

CHILDREN AND CHICKENS.--A small
dwelling, stable, garden, cornfeld, working
teams, farm tools and the usual farm stock,
comprise the home companions and ii
Giles connected with the employment and
every day life of seventy-fve per cent of
farmers children in the West. Day by
day they meet with these OF some Of them;
their monotonous life goes on ever the
same, and their love for the excellent and
beautiful lies undeveloped and dormant;
their opinion and tastes are UNDECIDED. OF
are not brought out; and finally, that
which might be developed into something
really praiseworty, becomes scared and
they find enjoyment in the commonest and
cheapest pursuits of life. No kind of farm
stock possesses so many attractions for the
little chaps as poultry. The hidden nest,
the smooth white eggs, daily renewed, the
waiting and watching for the Matching day,
the dozen little downy grown. chandeliers
with brilliant garb and prolonged crow, all
have their influence, and tend to inspire
the youngsters with love and admiration,
and to develop lasting fondness for the
beautiful throughout the brute creation.
Fancy poultry is better for the purpose
than the Common sorts; they have higher
value, and possess a similarity soon recog-
niZed by children, which at once causes
them to draw comparisons. Finally they
become experts, and as they grow older
their fondness reaches out to the larger
fields-choice sheep and swine, stately cat
tie and noble steeds--and with them will
come higher improved farms, home CON-
forts, and happiness for themselves and
families.

abridge her privileges nor battle her in

that it is important for her, if she value

THE EDUCATION OF THE PRESIDENTS.
The Syracuse HUniversity Herald'' has
made up the following table Of Presidents
and their places of education, which is of
interest: Washington-Good English edu-
cation, but never studied the ancient Ian
guages. Adams-Harvard. Jefferson
William and Mary Madison-Princeton
Monroe-Wirliam and Mary. Adams, J.
Q.-Haryard Jackson-Limited educa-
ton. Van Buren-Academic education.
Harrison anapden Sidney College. Ty-
ler-William and Mary. Polk-Univer-
sity OF North Carolina. Taylor-Sli ghtest
rudiments. Fillmore-Not literally edu-
Gated. Pierce-Bowdoin. Buchanan
Dickinson. Lincoln Education very linn
tied. Observation-Disclosures Grant
West Point.
Monroe and Harrison did not graduate.
Monroe left college to JOIN the Revolu-
tionary army. Financial reverses de-
prayed Harrison of a course. Polk was the
Oldest when graduating, being twenty
three; Tyler the youngest, seventeen. The
majority graduated at twenty, this being
also the average. age. Jefferson probably
1ad the most liberal education and the
broadcast culture. 1t is said that his range
of knowledge would compare favorably
with that of Burke. The drills of West
Point may be considered equal to a college
COARSE, and in many respects superior. In
dis cipline and mathematical training it is
not equalled by any American college.
Counting General Grant, two-thirds of our
Presidents have been college men. To be
sure, the two whose names have become
household words, Washington, the Father,
and Lincoln, the Martyr, were not literally
educated; but theirs were special missions.
They live in the affections of the nation
rather than in theintellect, as embodied in
the Constitution and laws. Theirs was to

details that required to be perfected
and number of amendments were to
be offered. Indications are that the

The Great Four Mile Race.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. l6.-An ex-
animation of the horses which are to
contest in the great four-mile race
next Tuesday shows that all are in
in as good condition as might be
hoped. Rutherford, who was the fa-
vorite in the pools previous to the late
postponement,s seems stiffin the shoul-
ders and joints of the fore legs, and
gait labored, like that of stage horse,
but his trainers say he will open out
when warmed up. Grimstead may be
considered practically out of the race.
He is fat as though grass fed and only
show of training is kept up in his
case. The other horses are in pretty
good condition. Katie Pease is trife
full in flesh, but will probably work it
off before the day of the race. The
track is now in fine condition, and a
good race may be anticipated, barring
the above drawbacks.

 The mill of the Mineral Park Go. started this morning. In every respect the mill is compet. It is provided with roaster, and is prepared to work all kinds of rebellious ores in the most satisfactory manner. Mir. Chase, the engineer who has had charge of the whole work, may well feel proud of his success. have seen many fine quartz mills, but never one in which all the details were carried to such perfection as in this. When the engine started the machinery not belt was out of place, and the whole thing work ed to a charm. X new era has been inaugu- rated in the history of Mohave.
 Supervisor Mix and Treasurer Cory have returned from a trip to the McCrackin and other mines in the southern end of the county. They report tine mill at Greenwood running successfully on McCrackin ore. The mines show wonderfully we'll, especially the Centennial and the Johnson mine. The last
  pany for S30,OO0; Sl5,OO0 of which has been paid down. Mir. Mix reports about two hundred people in the Owen district, and new arrivals every day. While ascending the grade to the top of the McCrackin hill, the buggy was overturned and Mir. Mix se- riously hurt I am glad to be able to say that Mir. NJ. is now feeling much bett>r than a few days ago.
 Every house in the Park is now occupied, and many more are need d. Quite large number of people are camping out" in the town and neighborhood.
 Teams are all busy hauling ore from the Blackberry, Keystone and other mines in the neighborhood, to the mill.
