Why Seed Fail.


In the 6rst place, we will ex
anime Toe causes of failure. If.
small seeds are planted too deep,
they either rot in the damp cold
earth, for the want of warmth
necessary 10 their termination,
or, after termination, perish b.
tore the shoots can reach the sun
and air; SO that which was de.
signed for their support and nour.
ishment proves their grave.
II the soil is a stiff clay, it is
oiten too cold at the time the seeds
are planted TO effect their germina
ton; for it must he understood
that warmth aud moisture are
necessary to the germination of
seeds. Neither Of these will do
alone. Seeds may be kept in &
warm. dry room, in dry saud or
earth, and they will not grow.
They may be placed in damp
earth, and kept in q low tempera
,ure. aud they will most likely
rot, though some seeds will re-
main dormant long time under
these circumstances. But place
them in moist earth, in a warm
room, and they will commence
growth at once. Another difficult.
ty with heavy soil is that it be
comes hard on the surface, and
this prevents the young plants
from "coming up" or il, during
showery weather, they happen to
get above the surface, they be-
come locked in and Ike but lit
tie advancement unless the cult
vator is very careful to keep the
crust we'll broken; and in doing
this the young plants are often
destroyed. Stiff soil where small
seeds are sown should be made
mellow, particularly on the sur
face, by the addition of sand and
light mould.
If seeds are sown in rough
lumpy ground, portion will be
buried under the clods, and viii
never grow; and many that Start
not finding fit soil for their roots
will perish. A few may escape
these difficulties and flourish

The FARMERS GRTNDsTONE.
There is no tool as essential
On the farm as a good grind
stone; it is therefore necessary
that every farmer should have
one and know how to take prop
er care of it. A grindstone
should always be kept unde:
cover, as exposure to the suns
rays hardens the grit and Injuries
the frame. The stone should
not stand in water when not in
use, as this causes soft places.
The water should be allowed TO
drip from some vessel placed a
bove the stone, and the drip
should be stopped when the
stone is not in use. All greasy
or rusty tools should be clean
sed before sharpening, as grease
or rust chokes up the grit. The
stone should be kept perfectly
round.

the corner of the instep every time

ninth stitch and knit niue times
round, then narrow every eighth

when it may be narrowed every

the Great p0u5ieActiag Anti
Freexing E0raGE~Usnn,

Patented May 18th, 1877. We called
attention a few days ago to this great Ia
yention and are now more fully satisfied
than ever, that this il the only real Sue
cess in the pump lice ever offered 10 the
public, The pump is extremely simple,
cheap, durable aRa not liable to get out
OF order and won't freez at all, add con-.
scquently will, undoubtedly take the
place OF all other pumps IN the market,
And as there is Il general and Increasing
demand for pumps for al! time to come,
let our readers rest assured there is Il fer.
tune IN this invention for a great number
Of persous. Il win furnish a nice healthy,
profitable Business for all persons who,
vii. take hold oft for years 10 ONE aad
therefore no one viii run sny risk in this
invention. We are glad to know tina
men of judgement aad discernmcnt in this
city concur with US ia our opinion. Mr..
ID. w. ilaistcad has bought twenty five
counties, and Mr.. N. II. Condor OF Sac
City, has bought four counties, leaving
twenty eight counties yet in this State
yet uDsnld Nov who will take hold
next? Mr.. A. j. Hopkins, the general
agent is still here and We are assured viii
deal fairly AID squaIely with all who wlll
call on him. Take our advice aud give
him a call at once.-F'6st Dodge Gdzat8
d Messenger.
The above we clip from the Webster
County Gdzstte. The General Agent is
now at the Elk Point House in this city,
where we have carefully examined the
pump by pieces and its working opera
ton, and there is 70 question about its
being the most siHapJe, cheap and saItanti1E
pump, by all odds in America to day
Nor is there the least doubt in onr mind
about the pump being brought into gen.
eral use, and taking the place of al other
pumps in the market just as soon as they
are introduced. The simplest, dara5}e and
noaJreoziRg principle of the pump will
give it a rapid and unprecedented sale.
There is no end to the demand for
pumps, and when we consider that the
patent runs for nearly II years yet aud
the broad margin Oh this invention ffr
safe Investment, ana profitable speoula
tioa we do not wonder that men of good
judgement and Of good business tact aud
ability are taxing hold Of and Investing
largely in this great Invention. Dakota
