Bringing Up a Worn Farm.

Prof. Kedzie, of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, in an able address delivered
before the Michigan Farmers Institute,
latsly held, concludes as follows:
believe the easiest and cheapest way
to bring up worn-down farm is by green
laanuring Suppose your farm is too poor
for clover, and grass makes only feeble
growth; put on it manurial crop that
will grow, such as rye Turn this under
with your plow, and you can then raise
something better. Keep feeding your sod
with everything your shovel aud your
team can commanl--ashes--leached ashes,
if you can get them by drawing them
within five miles, muck, mari, anything
that viii bring green mantle over your
fields. Soon as you can, set the clover
pumps at work, pumping up to the surface
the inexhaustible resources Of your subsoil.
Ifan animal dies, don't stop to bewail
your luck and exclaim, Everything goes
to the dogs on my farm Don't send it
TO the dogs at all, but compost it with
muck, or even soil, and thus secure most

wonder by taking honey from the dead
carcass Of lion. You can outdo that
wonder BY extracting wheat from the ear
cass Of your dead COW. Pick up all the
bones you can lind, put them under cover,
and mix with them two OF three times
their bulk Of ashes from your kitchen;
moisten them with enough water so that
the potash may act on the gelatinc Of the
bones; stir them over once week, and in
a month or two you will find the bones 50
tender that you can cut and crush them
with blow from your shovel. Beat the
whole in powdery mass, and you will
have manure better than the superphos-
pilates which you feel too poor to buy.
Give a handful Of this to each hill Of corn,
and see how it will wave its banner of
green, and pour into your basket the gold
en- ears.
But in bringing your soil into good
condition, do not neglect green manuring.
Let every wind that blows over your fields
bring them blessing in the shape Of at
mospbefic plantsSod Do all these things
patiently and hopefully, without urging
your soil beyond what Il can do, and you
win yet, out Of the fullness Of grateful
heart, exclaim, aBless God for the farm.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has promulgated an important
decision on delinquent tax sales, in
the case of Callana rs. Hurley, appeal
ed from the Giro uit Court for the Dis
trict of Iowa, as follows:
1t is here held that a Treasurer's
deed for lands sold for delinquent
taxes in Iowa, if subsequently regular
in form, Is, under the statute of that
state, at least prima facie evidence
that sale was made; and if there was
bona fide sale. in substance or in
TACT, 1t is conclusive evidence that
IL was made in proper time, and in
the proper manner. So, i'm case where
the tax-deed, regular in form recited
that the land was sold on January 4.
and where the Treasurer testified that
the sale OF land for delinquent taxes
in the county began on that day and
continued day to day until January Is
and that he entered all of the sales as
made on the 4th. the sales at any time
between those dates was valid; and
that recording the sales as of the first
DAY, though actually made later, did
not impair the title.

the largest and most successful meeting
it has ever held. Besides hearing
addresses, essays, and reports on many
subjects interesting to teachers pro
fessionally, action was taken on sub
Jects important to schools and higher
institutions, such as Reform in English

Schools, the Metric System, School
Libraries, Political Science-teaching
Changes in Text Books, State
Educational Congress, and the State
Normal School, at Cedar Falls. The
nomination of County Superintend-

cal measure for removing the election

to them. They were in . perfect fur
mace. The figures of those burned up
in the cars could be plainly seen. They
were burned up SO badly that identifi-
cation in many instances was impossi-
BILE. Some of those who persisted in
the fire were burned to ashes. Bones
aud charred limbs were picked out,
and of some of the lost there we're but
CHASTITY trunks. There were but fifty-
two taken out of the wreck, and three
quarters Of that number were badly
injured. saw but one ether man
who escaped with as little injury as
did. was badly bruised.
'IIow Is it that number OF the sur
viyors bound west are not Oh this

Simply because they are all injured
and cannot travel"
"How long was i. before the flames
were OUT
II shoald say about an hour. They
had an engine there, but no hose, and
they could make no impression on the
fire. The train burned very quickly;
it was consumed within an hour. In
every ear were two stoves, one at each
end, andfhe lamps were all lighted at
the time"
did you see any persons taken from
the train after the fire got full head
way?i
mo. All that were saved were
rescued, ] think at the time the people
got out Of our ear. They could not be
got out, for the fire was so rapid"
"How many persons altogether do
you think were killed, Mr.. Burchell?"
81 should say about $50. The rail-
road officers claim that there were
only l65 people on the train, but that
could not be. believe there were full
ly POO passengers on board the train,
and my understanding of it is that the
railroad men express themselves as
having always been fearful Of the
bridge, and one who passed over it
two hours before the accident said it
occurred to him that the bridge was
too light"

The sDsAer HALF.

we are glad to see the Coascrrutirc
giving to an editorial from Harper'a
Week,y The endorsement of leading
position in its columns, but sorry 1t
had the poor grace to divide the arti-
Gle almost in the middle. George
William Curtis Is not only as able, but
as honorable an editor as the country
can boast--none the more, or less 30
because he believes that Gov. Hayes
has been elected, and will be inaugur-
ated President. The following Is the
concluding half Of Mr.. Curtis sditori-
al. which the Conservative did not see
fit to publish:
The place for opening the certifi-
cafes and counting the votes IL not
designated in the Constitution. The
House of Representatives, which IL
the larger and more convenient hall
for the purpose, has been generally,
but not always, selected. The proper
place, however IL the Senate-cham-
Der; for it Is the President of the Sen
ate whom the Constitution appoints
to receive and open the certificates.
and the chamber of the body of which
he is the official head is obviously the
place ii which he should perform the
duty. Moreover. as no place is pre-
scribed. Snd the duty is enioined upon
the rGeident of the Senate, he may
unquestionably appoint the place and
invite the attendance of both Houses.
These are details which have been set
tied without difficulty hitherto, and
which should raise no question now.
Indeed, nothing but custom which
il not uniform can be urged i'm favor
of the House of Representatives. The
propriety of the case clearly designates
the Senate-chamber as the place for
counting the vote.
The action of both Houses will be
narrowly watched every moment until
the final proceedings, and whatever
looks like straining of powers or the
exercise of questionable authority
will be injurious to the side that
attempts it. Sensible people, and they
are really the majority, this time wish
to see no departure from the acknowl-
edged forms of law. The question is
not one of party, but of institutions.
The paramount duty Of the two Houses
Is to agree in advance upon some rule
to govern their action when the votes
are counted. The Republicans have
properly moved in the matter, but the |
Democrats show as yet no desire of
adjusting the difficulty. Mr.. Ed
munds, by his amendment and by
calling up Mr.. Morton's proposition of
last year, and Mr.. M'Crary in the |
House by his motion for Joint conn
mittee, have led the way in the only |
rightful solution Of the question. TIE
House can hardly undertake to hold
that either House alone may Mrom
out the electoral rote of a State upon |
any pretense Whdterer: for that would |
be the assertion that the House alone |
ran set aside the result of State elect
ions lawfully declared, and itself
appoint the President. Should it think
for a moment Of such folly. ii Woutd
soon find that the people Of the United
States are not quite ready to rest the
ciaOie oo,oer of the government IN a
part OF one of its branches.
