Cultivation of Castor ReauS

The cultivation of the castor bean for
oil is profitable in the southern portion
of Illinois and other regions of the west
in corresponding ATTITUDES, where the
soil is favorable. The land should be
well drained and in good heart. The
yield in Illinois is from 20 to % bushels
per acre. In some parts of Texas as
high as 90 bushels average per acre is re-
ported of clean seed.
The crop is not especially exhaustine
to the soil. There are no castor oil mills
in Chicago. 1t is too far north for the
cultivation of the bean. ST. Louis is the
western centre of this industry, and the
price of the beans there is from 81 to
$50 per bushel. In your location do
not make the mistake of planting the
small northern bean. The large south
ern varieties give a better yield.
The ground should be ploughed as
deeply as the nature of the soil will adj
nit, furrowed feet apart as for corn
two beans planted in each check and
covered about l to 3 inches; but one
plant remaining will cover the land
Keep the soil clean by frequent WORKING
until the plants get too large for the chi
tivator. When the seed is ripe it Is
thrown from the pod, when it must be
gathered every day and spread to dry.
Regular cultivators, however, prepare a
smooth surface by burning and sweeping
a piece of ground-at the rate of 20 feet
square for each acre of beans cultivated
upon which the pods are allowed to cast
their seed. These, however, must moi
be allowed to get wet, and we should. in
your climate, prefer to gather the clean
seed from the field as they were dropped

"SUryiyal of the FittpSf.,,

The ingenious doctrine propounded by
Mr.. Darwin, the tireless Investigator of ma
ture and her laws, is as applicable in deter
minating the fate of medicines as in that of
the animal species. Every wear new RENE
dies are brought before the public, and are
soon completely discarded as their sale
rapidly decreases. Only those medicines
which are best snited to the peoples wants
survive the first test. If they ''are tried, and
found wanting" in the merits which they are
claimed to possess, no amount of advertising
will make them popular. OF all the RENE
dies ever introduced to the public, none are
so popular as DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines
Their sale has steadily increased each year,
and wholesale druggists assert that the pres
ent demand for them is greater than ever
before. If you would patronize medicines
scientifically prepared use DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines. Golden Medical Dis
coyery is alterative, or blood-cleansing, and
an u4equaled cough remedy; Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, scarcely larger than mus.
tard seeds, constitute an agreeable and re-
liable physic; Favorite Prescription,
remedy for debilitated females; Extract of
mart-Weed, a magical remedy for pain,
bowel complaints, and an unequaled lini-
ment for both human and horse-fesh; while
his DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is known the
world over as the greatest specific for Catarrh
and "Cold in the Head" ever given to the
public. They are sold by druggists.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Growing Carrots.

Of all root crops carrots are the most
nutritious and best for cows and horses.
They give a richness and fine color to
the cream that nothing else fed to cows
ever equalled; and in the winter peck
or half bushel fed to cows daily is as
good as, or better than an ordinary feed
of meal; and when we consider that from
500 to | 900 bushels can be grown upon
an acre, it needs no lengthy argument to
show that they are profitable. " But"
saws farmer 4, 1--WE tired growing
them, and it cost me more to weed them
than they were worth" Yes / know
how you managed. You did not prepare
your land fer them by heavy manuring
the previous year, and growing crop of
potatoes on it, and thoroughly destroy
ing the weeds, and allowing none to go
to seed. If you had done this, and had
put on manure enough for two crops,
your potatoes would have paid all or
more than the expenses, and then the
land would have been in good condition
for the carrots, as it would not have re-
quired any manure that season, and you
would not have found it troublesome
and expensive to keep the weeds down.
I have frequently mixed the seed with
sand and kept it moist a week, setting
the pan in the sun by day, and in the
house near the kitchen fire by night, APP
plying little tepid water from time to
time, and as soon as the least sign of
sprouting appeared. [ had the land
made ready, then | dried the seed in the
sun by spreading it on large trays, then
sowing it by hand and in three days it
was above the ground and the carrots
grew rapidly ahead of the few weeds that
appeared, and the crop was kept free of
weeds with very little labor. Carrots re-
quire a deep mellow soil, and should be
sown in drills about fifteen inches apart
for hand hoeing; and thirty inches to be
cultivated with horse. Sow at the time
of planting corn, or a few days earlier

was one of a number that were construct
ed by the Confederacy for the purpose of
doing and havoc with the the Federal
fleet. Only one of them, however, was
known TO have done any active service
whatever. There were more rebels lost
on them than there were Federals killed
by their use. The Davit blew up the
United States gunboat Housatonic, but
aside from this they never did any
etfectual duty, although one of them Is
used to blow up the monitor Manhattan
in Mobile Bay. The officers in command
rather than risk their own lives in such a
hazardous expedition, blew up the boiler,
and thus disabled the vessel beyond re-

90. Still it seems some were rebel
lious and went out to gather mama.
And the inquiry is made, Chow long
refuse We to keep my commandments
and my love ? Proof positive that
they knew of the commands, else
they could not long refuse to keep
them. Read verse 90. See for that
the Lord hath given you the Sabbath,
&c.
Can palmer evidence be given to
prove that the Decalogue was given
in Eden ? Can any candid, honest
person, who has studied the Bible,
who has searched the scriptures fail
to see the point at issue.
Then again, the very first word of
the fourth commandment, "Remem-
ber," implies previous knowledge
of the principle involved in that pre-
cept. What more need be said to
prove the institution of the Sabbath
at the beginning?

TRYING TO READ THE WORLD
For the Grant Co. HKRALp

/ For the Grant Co.HRRALD
When DER the world we calmly look,
| And try to read it, like book,
We often find our wisdom fail.
Our knowledge all of no avail.
We cannot tell the reason why
| One year is wet another dry,
| Or why some grains will surely grow,
| Though buried with a winters snow,
| While others, touched with lightest frost,
Will wilt and wither and are lost.
We fail to find the reason why
The grass is green and blue the sky,
Or why some persons should be white
While others are as black as night
We cannot tell the reason why
Some sick men live while strong ones die;
And It's but little that we know
OF how blade of grass does grow.
Nor can we tell why moves the hand,
Just as its owner gives command;
Or how the eye can give US light,
Aud from dangers guide us right.
We cannot rightly understand
Why war, so oft should curse the land
And blood of thousands should be shed,
Which makes historic pages red;
Oft leaving wounded, sick, and sore,
To perish on foreign shore,
While poverty and want remain
For those who have not yet been slain.
We scarce can tell the reason why
Russians and Turks their strength should try );
Or why John Bull should send away
His iron clads to join the fray.
The Danube seward rolls it's flood,
Deep ting'd with gore and human blood,
While Rustehuck, Shumla, Varna, all
Seem tot'ring for final fall;
And iron clads and shot and shell
There make the Earth resemble He'll.
But ohy It's thus and rhy It's so
We while on Earth can never know.
