Editorial Credits.

We are so used to seeing the original arti-
cles of this department used by our ex-
changes without credit that it has long
ceased to disturb US. A recent issue of All
agricultural Journal contained no less than
three of our articles thus appropriated. We
in the habit not only of giving our agricul-
tural contemporaries full credit for quota
tions, but of " advertising" them generously
by reference to articles not quoted. Yet by
nadverteuce an occasional selected article
has not received the proper credit, and as
the agricultural editor does not see the
proofs, such nadvertence necessarily escapes
correction. This is the more annoying as
the custom of this paper is to lead reprinted
matter, thus giving the appearance of orig
inalty to all that is not definitely credited
to its source.
Working farmers who are also agricul-
tural editors are apt to read their exchanges
at night after going to bed,-at least we
are,--and clippings made at such times are
tied with certainty. This occurs rarely,
but it was our misfortune recently, for this
reason or some other not recalled, to have
printed without credit two short extracts
from our highly valued contemporary, the
| Country Gentleman This brought to us
from the publishers the following polite
postal card :" In your issue of June 9th you
have copied without credit the article Use Of
SKINNED Milk and also some smaller ones
from the Country Gentleman. Our rule is to
cut off all exchanges doing this unless due
correction is made Yours, etc.
l.. TUCKER & SON"
The article " Use of Skinned Milk was
in fact, aside from its title and the act OF
compilation, no more original with the Coun
try Gentleman than with us, it consisting sim
ply of extracts from the proceedings of tn,
Western New York Dairymen's Association
for 1873, and the correspondence of til,
Maine Farmer, to which was appended by u
the testimony on the same subject of Mr.. A
T. Smith, of New Haven, in this state
The proper credit was given to all thre
of the real contributors OF facts, and w
now add the credit due to our courteou
cotemporary for its part. We do this a
matter of justice, though we comics
that we should not like to lose the visits o
the Country Gentleman to our library table
Yet as that can be secured at the low rat
of two dollars and fifty cents per annun
from which we could deduct the cost of GU
paper in return, we think the terror of a di,
continued exchange hardly sufficient +
deter one from literary larceny, il so inclined

A Little Talk TO Boys.

When / meet you everywhere, boys-on
the street, in the cars, on the boat at your
own homes, or at SCHOOL, see a great many
things in you to admire. You are earnest,
you are merry, you are full of happy life,
YOU are quick at your lessons, you are patri-
otto, you are brave, and you are ready to
study out all the great and curious things in
this wonderful world of ours. But very
often find one great thing lacking in you.
You are not quite gentlelnanly enough.
There are so many little actions which help
to make a true gentleman, and which | do
not see in you. Sometimes when mother or
sister comes Into the room where you are
sitting in the most comfortable chair, you
do not Jump up and say, take this seat,
mother" or " Sit here, Annie" but you sit
still and enjoy it yourself. Sometimes you
push past your mother or sister, in the door
way from one room TO another, instead of
stepping aside politely for them to pass first.
Sometimes you say the governor" or " the
boss" in speaking of your father and when
he comes in at night you forget to say,
Good evening, sir Sometimes when
mother has been shopping, and passes you on
the corner, carrying a parcel, you do not
step up and say, " Let me carry that for you,
mother' but keep on playing with the
other boys. Sometimes when mother or sis
ter is doing something for you, you call out,
"Come, hurry up" just as if you were
speaking to one of your boy companions.
Sometimes when you are rushing out to
play, and meet a lady friend of mothers
just coming in at the door, you do not lift
your cap from your head, nor wait a mo-
ment till she has passed in. Such little
things do you say? Yes, to be sure but
it is these very little acts-these gentle acts
which make gentlemen. think the word
gentleman is a beautiful word. First man
and that means everything brave and strong
and noble and then gentle--and that means
full of all these little kind, thoughtful acts
of which have been speaking. A gentle
man Every boy may be one if he will
Whenever see gentlemanly boy feel sc
glad aud proud | met one the other day
and have been happier ever since.

The Aerial Element Of Plant Food.

In our articles upon Essential Fertil- |
izers," we treated of those kinds of plant
food that are taken up by the roots, dis
solved in the water of the soil Not of all,
indeed, but of those that we must, or may
have to apply artiicially, in order to get
a profitable crop. These were phosphoric
acid potash, and the heterogeneous COM
pounds
Only a small portion of the solid sub
stance of the plant, however, is derived from
the soil, or taken up by the roots. When
we burn vegetable matter, wood leaves, hay,
straw, or-as they do out West-grain, we
find a portion of their substance remaining
in the form of a powder as fine as ashes "
and it is ashes. These ashes are the min
eral matter taken up by the roots, and CON
sst of lime, silica, iron, magnesia, phos-
phoric acid, potash and some other sub
stances.
heterogeneous matter we do not find in
ashes, and that is the reason why ashes are
not perfect manure for our quick-growing
field crops. For trees--excopt fruit trees
they are a perfect manure, because trees
grow so slowly that the nitrogen compounds
that come down in the rain are sufficient for
them. Bearing nut or fruit-trees, the pro
duce of which is taken away, will require.
unless in rich soil, to be supplied with NJ
trogenous matter in order TO maintain their
productiveness.
The greater portion of plant or tree is
not taken from the ground, hut out Of the
atmosphere, by the ltayes. The leaves per
form the same work as regards the atmos-
pheric food of the plant, that the roots per
form as regards the soil food. The leaves
do more than the roots. They not only alb
sorb more food, but they do all the com
pounding of IL, so as to fit it 10 be taken
into the substance of the tree or plant. The
mineral matters and the heterogeneous mat
ter absorbed by the roots is all conveyed to
the leaves, and there it is united with the
aerial food to make the various tissues or
parts of the plant
As all the sap has TO course through the
leaves, and as the roots do not discriminate
but take up the soil water with everything
it holds in solution, the leaves in time be
come clogged with superluous or unneces
sary matters, and have to be changed fol

very full of mineral matter left in them be

is the reason that dry leaves make 50 much
ashes. Dry tobacco leaves make about I
quarter OF their weight of ashes. Aud tn,

Uncle Jack This made Jennie smile through

Second-See how many things there are

The Fathers Advice.

A gentleman had two children the one
a daughter, who was considered plain in her
person; the other son, who was reckoned
handsome. One day, as they were playing
together, they saw their faces in a looking
glass. The boy was charmed with his beauty,
and spoke of II to his sister, who considered
his remarks as so many reflections on her want
of it. She told her father of the affair,
complaining of her brothers rudeness to her.
The father, instead of appearing angry, took
them both on his knees, and without much
affection, gave them the following advice !;
al would have you both look in the glass
every day you, my son, that you may be
reminded never to dishonor the beauty of
your face by the defcrmity of your actions
and you, my daughter, that you may take
care TO hide the defect Of beauty in your
person by the superior lustre of your virtu-
Gus and amiable conduct"

children, the light is fading
From out the western skies;
Come, like the birds and how'rets,
And close your weary eyes.
The blackbrd and the robin
Have ceased their cheerful song,
And silent will their voices be
Throughout the night 20 long.
Come. children, to your slumbersi
Come, close your little eyes.
And sleep until the morning light
shall call you TO arise.
Kneel down and ask your Father
To guard you white you sleep,
And DER your peaceful slumbers
A kindly watch To keep.
Thank him for all his mercies.
And praise him for his love;
Ask him to hear your little prayers
In his blest heaven above.
ASK pardon for your many sins,
And pray that you may be
His little children while on earth
His through eternity.
Then close your eyes, dear children,
In peaceful, quiet sleepi
May God and holy angels
Their vigils DER you keep. Selected.

A Dishonest Janiuor.

A week or two ago Father Roles en-
ployed a tramp, German, who gave his
name as Joseph Doner, as janitor at ST
Joseph's church, He attended promptly
to his work, and all would have gone on
smoothly had he not called on Fred.
Wheeland, a tailor, who lives in Ne
guss block, and asked him if he did not
want to buy some chairs. He said he was
boarding with widow lacy who was about
to move to Chicago and wanted to sell
some Of her furniture Finding that
Wheeland didn't want any chairs Doner
stole his silver watch, chain, key and a
knife, ali valued at $23, and then left
The articles were missed, the police in
formed. the two cities searched, and last
evening Policemen Metsch and Feeley
found Doner at Fickinger's boarding
house, on Sixth avenue, and upon taking
him to the marshal's office he was searched
and the stolen articles were found upon
him. Ia the basement of St. Joseph s
church were II dozen new chairs, belonging
to the church, and these chairs Doner has
been trying to sell, and had succeeded in
two or three instances. He is about 81 o,
% years old. He was jailed last night,
This forenoon he was taken before Jus
tice Hayden, who, after hearing the evi
dence. held him under $500 ponds for his
appearance at the next term of circuit
court. He was returned to Jail.

Tuesday Jan. Estates Attorney
Parmenter, this morning, by consent of
court, admitted the value of the watch
stolen from VIM. H. Lundy, by Barney
McQuaied to be less then $l5 (which
wasn't true) and Barney then plead guilty
to petty larceny, After giving Barney a
lecture (which he had better heed) Judge
Peasants sentenced him to three months

easy another time,
VIM. Congratulated for grand larceny,

sentenced to 20 days in Jail.

sentenced to the penitentiary for one year.
Susan kinner, under 1000 bond to
keep the peace, was discharged and her
security released from all liability in
future.
Sweeney Il Jackson, attorneys for Mrs
Jane Kennedy, Indicted for burglary, made
a motion to continue the case, owing to the
absence of Mrs. KS daughter, one of her
witnesses. The motion will be argued to-
morrow.
John Cowling and John Vandywater
butchers, of Rapids City, were lodged in
Jail last evening by Constable Nicholson,
having been indicted for stealing COW
from VIM. G. Freeland The case is con
sidered rather thin one, as Freeland
has already been beaten in a civil suit
against these parties-brought to recover
$50 which, he claimed to be the value of
the COW. The case will probably be called
up tomorrow.
VIM. Brennan and George Ohlweiler,
the two fire bugs" plead guilty to start
ing the various incendiary fires which so
troubled our citizens a couple of months
ago. The charge is penitentiary offence.
but owing to the age of the boys (about
l6 years. the sentence was suspended, on
condition that, in future they were to lead
reputable lives.
