And you shall have corn osell and keep"
The above saying Of Franklin, q
some assert, may involve great principle
that is of major importance to the world
in general, but II the great philosopher
had known more about raising corn in our
great west, in this latter part Of the
century, he would have selected some
other crop with which to illustrate his
general principle. Our systems of culti-
vation, Is we'll Is the style of crop we
raise with which to make money, vary
with different decades and seem to 60 in
waves. For instance, in Michigan twelve
years ago there was q great tendency to-
ward deep plowing for corn, while to-day
the best corn farmers plow shallow fur
row for that crop.
But, be this as it may, for general farm
ing upon any but the lightest of soils, IL Is
desirable to have good depth under
cultivation, and by increasing the depth
tillage to add to tie aggregate amount OF
available soil per acre.
However, the promiscuous advocacy Of
subeoiling upon al lands is mistake, for
although it might help crop upon heavy
soil, that is, NOT under1rained, to stir the
ground to twice the depth Of ordinary
blowing, still the results probably will mot
requite the farmer for the additional labor,
because the lower soil will very shortly
settle back into ito old compact, solid
state and no permanent good is gained.
But in advocating improved husbandry
deep tillage must follow Immediately upon
the footsteps Of thorough drainage. 6cien-
tific research indicates this in the strong
est of terms, and, whist is better testimony
to the farmer. practical experience has
borne out the indications and found them
t. be truthful.
The rore soil that is available for the
roots of plants the stronger and more
satisfactory will &c their growth. By
first stirring the subeoil It is opened to
the growth cf roots; these push into and
through it, making . network Of feeders
for the plant system shove. Finally the
crop is removed from the surface, leaving
the roots to decay in this subsoil, thus
adding organic matter to mix with It ana
At it better for the uses of growth. This
once accomplished it is not . dangerous
thing to throw up the snbsoil and mix
with the upper stratum. The cold, clam
modified bv the decay of the organic
matter that It is NOT unlike the soil above.
Once mixed together, the amount OF soil
doubled and of uniform character through
out.
Thia subsoiling process is not generally
we'll understood. It requires an imple-
ment ON purpose for the work, which is to
follow the ordinary plow, mot for the pur-
pose of stirring up the soil and then
throwing it to the surface. but Just to
loosen the bottom of the ordinary furrow

The Shortest Deed on Record.

ScR1BNER, for May, contains paper of
/" "reminiscences of Washington" from
unpublished family records. Among the
anecdotes of Washington there related is
In August, 179s, after 1 few delightful
days spent with their distinguished rela-
tives, Capt. Lewis relates that the follow
ing conversation took place at the break
fast table the morning fixed for their de.
parture.
Washington was, as oil the world
knows, man of few words, and, while he
quietly part0ok of his frugal meal, the
conversation flowed cheerfully on be-
tween the other members of the family
present. Suddenly his nephew turned,
laughing, to him, and said: +.{
"Uncle, what do you think I dreamed
last night!'
The General replied he could not guess,
and asked to be told. Capt. Lewis, con-
tinuing to laugh merrily, replied:
why, I dreamed you gave me your
farm ON Deep Run
!, Humphr' ejaculated his uncle. "You
had better have dreamed I gave you
Mount Vernon"
Noim0re was said on the subject, and
Capt. Lewis had quite forgotten his ,un.
meaning dream as he placed his wife In
the carriage, and bade his uncle and aurt
good:by Washington followed him to
the carriage, and handed him folded
paper, n,a saying, Al he did %:
!" You i can. look at that when
you reach y home.'' Capt. Lewis 70.

A Free Letter on the Hayes Policy

MEcHASIcsBURG, o. April %.
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette:
We have been a constant reader OF the
Gazette during a number Of years past,
and have regarded it as the advocate OF
law and Justice but recently il has seem.
ed TO take a position directly contrary to
that il formerly occupied, and to advo-
cate a course il not long ago opposed, and
that. too, when there is no greater ne.
cessity, and when principles OF
right, law, and justice are set aside as
much now as they would have been
months and years ago.
There are some things would like the
supporters OF President Hayes policy
make plain to me. ! voted Tor Hayes,
worked hard for him. havn't asked him
for an Office, and do not expect to.
have been an answering Republican
since the beginning of the war, because
the Republican party was the sole main
tenance Of our government, and has been
the advocate OF justice to all. and en-
deavored to secure to all their rights
under the Constitution and laws. The
party / believe to be actuated by the
same sentiments yet, although it has
been decriyed by its leader.
First ask, can Hayes honorably con.
tinue To occupy his present position, and
pursue his policy OF turning over every
Republican black and white in the South
to the tender mercies and promises OF
the bitteIest ex-rebels in those States I
| Hayes says substantially that this was
his policy more than year ago. and con.
ssquently, since the people elected him,
he is going to carry il out IL such was
| his policy, the country did not know It.
/ now most sincerely believe that il
/ Hayes had let the country know his pol
/ icy be would not have carried single
/ State in the whole nation, and we al
1 know he would not have been elected
/ Now, having concealed his intended
course; having permitted himself to BE-
/ elected under an absolute error and mis-
apprehension on the part OF those who
voted for him, can he honorably pursue
/ that course (there being no necessity
whatever) which. if known. would have
/ ANONYMOUSLY defeated him2 AwaJ
/ with such honor which permits a man e
attain to a position where he virtually
exclaims, | am here, and am going to dC
as please. What are you going to d'
I about it2
Second-I am perplexed over thi
force problem. / haven't heard OF th'

physical force and threats than the
United States has used. and is not that
the sole reason he is where be isl Does
not it look exceedingly like Hayes has
strained at q gnat and swallowed a
camel7
Thirds not the peace secured in
! Louisiana at the cost Of law and Justice
such a peace as is in Mississippi and
Georgia, the last State Of which gave
over $4,000 majority for Tilden. and in
/ six counties not a single Republican dar.
ed vote in November last7 IL such a
peace is good for those three States, VIII y
not good for 0hio7
Fourth-ls il not actually the death OF
the Republican party in Louisiana 7 And
IL the Republicans should outvote the
Democrats in the next election, would
not the same question arise again2 IL IL
would not, what means all the Ku-Klux-
ing and numbering in past years 2
But trusting to Nichols promises that
be will let Republicans outvote Demo
cats in future elections is mere stuff. and
is only whistling to keep up courage.
Georgia and Mississippi are too promi.
nent before US. Besides. Nichols is
Governor for only a short period, after
which his promises are mere gas
BY force of arms Hayes rights were
maintained. and he assembled to the Pres
idency. If il were law and right then, Il
l. law and right now, and Hayes can not.
as an honorable man, permit a ladder to
be used to raise him up. and then will
fully break IL down after him. He can
not rightfully continue tc occupy n posi-
tion secured to him by certain means.
and then deny the aame support to men
who are now more rightfully entitled TO
IL than he was.
Finally. we are opposed to Hayes pol
icy, because il seems to be a part and
parcel Of a compact made by Foster and
Matthews on February 26. with certain
De.-ocrats to secure the count for Hayes.
in which they virtually pledge Hayes TO
do this very thing. and he is apparently
carrying out his part.
lie is pursuing policy different from
that for which the people supposed they
were voting. and which, IL known would
have utterly defeated him. He could
not have carried his own State.
He is pursuing n policy, and in doing
il sacrificing principle, law and justice.
He shows ingratitude and utter disre-
gard Of the rights of men who sacrificed
liberty, property, peace, everything, in
his cause.
The late elections are no indications
whatever OF the support OF Hayes. They
are rather an expression Of distrust OF
the Democratic party, add a condemna
tion OF their past Congress ] shall vote
the Republican ticket. but, like thou
sands of other Republicans, reject Hayes
as traitorous to the voters who worked
Tor him, and in many instances sacrificed
home and safety for him.

A little pause I'm life while daylight fingers
Between the sunset and the pale moonrise.
When daily labor slips from weary fingers
And soft gray shadows veil the aching eyes.
Old perfumes wander back from fields OF clover
Seen In the light OF suns that long have set;
Beloved ones, whose earthly toll il over,
Draw near, as II they lived among Us yet.
Old voices call me; through the dusk return.
ing.
And then ask, with vain and troubled yearn-
What is the charm that makes old things 50
sweet?
"Peace peace!r The Lord of earth and Heav-
en- knoweth
The human soul in all its heat and strife;
Out OF his throne no stream Of Lethe hOweth,
But the clear River Of Eternal Life.
He giveth life, aye, life In all its sweetness;
Old loves. old sunny scenes will he restore;
Only the curse of sin and incompleteness
Shall faint thine earth and vex thy heart no
more.
Serve him with daily work and honest living.
And Faith shall lit thee to her sunlit nights,
While sweet psalm OF gladness and thanks
