western men to compensate by keep

But few men know, because they have
not tried it, how much farm stock can
be well maintained upon a farm having
plenty of meadow and pasture land, and
a very few acres relatively of tillage

know how little labor will run a large
farm, mainly in grass, and well stocked,
and none but those who have tried it,

Those farmers who have changed over

Science gives us interesting details

what il may become. The Nedas OF
India, which are the most ancient writ

most remote, but still recorded In his
tory, only two colors were known, black
and red. A very long time elapsed be-
fore the eve arrived at the perception OF
the color yellow, and still Longer time
before green was distinguished and 1T is
remarkable that in the most ancient
languages the terms which designated
yellow insensibly passed to the signihca-
ton of green. The Greeks had, accor-
ding to the received opinion now, the
perception of colors very well developed
and vet authors of a more recent data
assures us that in the time OF Alexander,
Greek painters had for Fundamental
celors only white, black, red and yellow,
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Greeks in the most
ancient times of their history they
called these colors gray and black. IT II
thus that the colors Of the rainbow were
only distinguished gradually, and the
great Aristotle only knew four OF them
II is a well known fact that when the
colors of the prism are photographer
there remains outside the limit OF thu

J. WILKES BOOTH.
The Absurd story about his Remains
Contr Particulars Of their
Identification and Delivery
IN his ErienLs.

A number OF absured stories are going
the rounds of the press as to the DISPOSE
ton of the remains of J. Wilkes Booth
The latest is by Captain Oliver 7. Leslie.
of Pittsbnrg, who states that the body
was sunk in a lake sever miles
below Alexandria, Virginia. The in
controyertible facts are as follows
The remains were ordered to be
delivered to the friends of Booth by
President Andrew johnson. John II
Weaver, the undertaken, of this city, was
sent to Washington by his family tc
bring them home for interment. A box
was taken up from the arsenal building
and delivered to him. 1t was brought
by him to Baltimore, and was examined
by him and reporter Of the Gazette at
his room on West Fayette street, near
Holiday. They found in it a skeleton
wrapped in an army blanket. When the
blanket was taken of the skeleton was
covered with a powder having the APP
pearance of soap-stone, and on being
rubbed between the fingers it disap'
peared Just as soap-stone will do. On
the right foot was an army shoe, cut
open at the top its entire length, as if to
accommodate a swollen foot. The other
was a large cavalry boot. The reporter
ofthe Gazette examined the bones in and
above the shoe, and for some time could
find no injury. Believing the remains
ia he those of Booth, the reporter made
a persistent examination, and at last dis
covered the leg was fractured clean
through lust above the ankle. The trac-
ture was clearly marked, and the por-
ton below the fracture being lifted out
of the box, the ends of the bones were OF
a pure witness, leaving no doubt as to
the fact that Booth in leaping from the
box has fractured his right leg and not
sprained it. Still, the identity of the
remains were not satisfactorily estab-
Iished, especially as there was no portion
of the spinal vertebre missing and no
mark of n bullet upon them. A
brother OF Booth was sent for, whe wac
told by Mr.. Weaver as to the doubts as
to the identity of his remains, and MI.
Weaver Requested him 10 think OF some
regularity, if any existed, in the struc-
ture of his brother that would forever
remove any doubt. After thinking Tor a
brief while, the brother said that all he
could remember was that his brother
had shis tooth plugged with gold in a
peculiar manner. He described the 10
cation of the tooth, and drew with a
pencil, the shape of the plug, which was
of unusual size. The teeth were taken
out, and the tooth was found plugged
lust as described by the brother, and
forever setting at rest any question OF
the identity of the remains. The re-
mains were buried in Greenmount ceme-
terry, in the same lot with his grand
father, father, and other children OF the
fsmily.---Balt more Gazette.

How 10 Treat Poor SOIL.

Exhausted soils can be restored to
their original fertility by proper treat.
ment. The character of the land and
the way it has been injured make it i'm
possible 10 give sr%anitie- d;-aotians, yet
there are a few general principles that
may be applied beneficially in any case.
One of the prime necessities is blowing
and working the land to give exposure TO
atmospheric influences. Sunlight, rain,
and the circulation OF the air in the soils
have a wonderful effect in increasing its
fertility. The warmth of the sun can
not penetrate far without the ground is
turned up by blowing. Exhausted
fields should be plowed somewhat deeper
than when last cultivated, to mix the
sub-soil with that from the surface.
This is very important. The deepening
process should be gradual. Too much
of this unprepared sub,soil should not be
thrown up at once. A suitable mixture
ofthe soil can be reached by frequent
plowings, going an inch deeper each time.
This thorough blowing aud pulverization
of the soil, with the admixture of the
subsoil, will render available whatever
latent plant food there may be in the
field. Apply fertilizers with a liberal
hand. The kind to be used must be de-
termined by the character of the land,
its location and the wishes of the owner.
If it is near the barn and the farmer is in
no hurry for the crop, and has plenty of
stable to use, the land may be
plowed i'll the spring, and a good coating
Of manure thoroughly narrowed in.
During the summer and fall, pillow two
or three times, taking pains to deepen a
little each time. AT the last fall plow-
ing, apply manure, and the next spring,
after plowing and manuring, a crop may
be started. Give good cultivation and
manure the land heavily when it is
cropped and it will in time be brought
to a high state of fertility. In this case
green manuring may be tried. Give the
same amount of blowing, make an appli'
cation of very fine manure, harrow in
and SOW rye, oats or buckwheat. When
several inches high, pillow under. Let
the land rest a few weeks, apply ashes,
SOW another crop and treat in like man.
ner. These successive growths of rye OF
buckwheat being plowed in, will furnish
agreat deal of plant food and may be &C
cumulated in the soil and made ready
for future crops. If this course is con
tinued for a couple of years, good crops
will be certain. Special fertilizers are
made only for special crops, and no reli
ance can be placed upon them for perma.
nent results. They will do a great dea.
toward the production of the crop, but
are not designed to effect great improve
ment in the character of the soil. Barn
yard must be the great reliance
of the farmer in making good land out o
that which has been run down.--N. Y
