HONE. FARM AND GARDEN.

The Vicksburp Herald says that
there is need of 10000 more laborefs Ia
that State than can be had now for good
wages.
1t has been proved in Nevada and
other silyer-producing States OF the
West that capital devoted to agr1cuit-
ure pays better and more regularly than
if put into gold and silver mines.
in many parts of the West, stump
pullers have been almost superseded py
dynamite cartridges, which are inserted
under the stump in holes made by q
long earth-auger, and, on being flred,
lift out and demolish the stump, with
out making large hole.

Apples make an excellent jelly.
The process is as follows: They are
pared. quartered, and the core COM
pletely removed, and put into a pot
aacitsoM water, closely covered, and pu
into an oven or over fire. When
pretty well stewed the juice is to be
squeezed out through 9 cloth. to which
a little white of an egg is added, and
then the sugar. Skim it previous to
boiling. then reduce it to proper con-
sistency, and an excellent jelly will be
the product.
The following bits of agricultural
wisdom are taken from the IosCd State
Register: -,
There is no doubt the earlier fall
blowing is done, the better.
In the West those farmers are the
most prosperous who have the most
stock and feed them the best.
The corn crop is to be heavy. Pre-
pare corn-cribs in time, SO there will be
no delay in harvest.
1t is Just as true now as it was three
thousand years ago, " the hand of the
diligent maketh rich"
Manure is the soul of agriculture
and culture is the spirit which breathes
the breath of life into it.

The Decline Of immigration.

One of the facts which needs to be
taken into account as symptom, or
rather result, of the business strin-
gency and stagnation of the last four
years, is the unmistakable decline in
immigration to this country The
largest number of immigrants in any
one year arrived in 1872, the number
being 449, 4S3. Immigration the next
year was nearly as large; but it has
fallen off very rapidly each succeed:
ing year. The total immigration for
1876 was only 1927, smaller num-
Der than in any previous year since the
war. This decrease is connected in
a marked manner with the beginning
and increase of " hard times in this
country It has become more and
more evident year by year, since Octo-
Der, 1873, that our labor market was
overstocked at least in the varied &C
tivities of manufactures and COM
merce. What immigration remains
has been largely of the agricultural
class, and even agricultural immigra-
ton has been considerably reduced by
the alarming stories which have been
told in Europe about the ravages of the
grasshoppers and the potato-bug, and
the consequent failure Of the crops of
1876 and 1876 on the Western IRON
tier. The news of the abundant and
universal harvests of this year will
teQd to counterfeit the influence of
these stories, and to stimulate the inn
migration of agricultural laborers and
pioneers the class Of immigrants
which the country most needs, and
will most gladly welcome.
Under the circumstances, the general
decline in immigration is hardly to be
regretted. When we have already
fh0usands and hundreds of thousands
Of unemployed men among us, an adj
diti0n to the number Of applicants for
employment is not beneficial. We of
course regret the cause of al this,
butswhile it exists the decrease in inn
migration is to be welcomed rather
than deplored. OF course we except
the agricultural immigrants, who come
to build up homes for themselves on
the frontier. There Is room for hum

pioneers, and they are and have been

Farm Drainage.

The unfavorable nature of the two
last seasons has given great impetus
to the subject of draining. Many per-
sons suppose that to be successful, this
drainage must be necessarily accom-
plished with tile laid beneath the surface
of the ground. The average farmer
cannot undertake thorough or tile drain
ing, first, from its extreme cost as COM
pared with the value Of the land, and,
second, from the want of a correct
knowledge of the manner of doing the
work. Nor is it necessary that our
average prairie farms be under-drained.
As rule, a simple system of surface
drains is all that is necessary, to render
our lands dry in time for planting. In
any event, surface draining must al
ways precede the more expensive tile
drains, and should be undertaken in the
fall, when the soil is dry, and there is
comparative leisure for the work.
A simple and yet very effective means
for doing this is to go over the fields in
the autumn, and decide upon the lay of
the land, as to slope and facilities for
carrying away the surplus water. In
nine cases out of ten, outlets from de-
pressions may be made with the team
and pillow, into the natural hollows.
These natural water ways, may be
eheaply improved, by means of the
pillow and scraper, to prevent the water
spreading and confine it to artificial
channels. Thus, with slight outlay,
several days in the spring may be
gained. Thereafter this may be i'm
proved from year to year; tile may be
introduced from time to time, to drain
the wetter parts of the fields, render
ing these places capable of being
plowed as soon as the higher lands.
Upon fields fall plowed the same gen.
eral plan may be adopted. The field
having been plowed, burrows should
be run from the lower portions
of the field to the nearest dead
furrow, and thence again connected
with the leading water ways from the
field. Thus comparatively slight out
lay of labor, will enable the farmer to
put his fall-plowed fields in condition to
receive the seed in spring, fully week
in advance of his more dilatory neigh
bors; and, this week is of the utmost
Importance, since it may enable. the
farmer to get in his crops early, in I'M
toward seasons. In all this subject as
connected with either surface, or thor
ough drainage for putting the soil in
condition for crops earlier than usual,
each farmer must act for himself, using
his judgment as dictated by common
sense. An ordinary degree of intelli-
gence will dictate to the individual,
what the particular needs of his farm
require. Any man may satisfy himself
as to the out-fall of a given piece of
land, by taking observations from two,
three, or four points of observation, ex-
cept in rare cases, when the decline is
imperceptible to the ordinary vision.
In these cases instruments must be
used; but over the west, such cases
occur only here and there, on farms or
localities widely scattered. Ninty-nine
farms in hundred have fall enough so
the owner may decide for himself, not
only the practicability of drainage, but
also how it is to be accomplished. =

The Color Of Mars.

Several hypothesis have been adj
vanced to explain the reddish color
which characterizes the bright parts of
the planets disk. Mr.. Higgins comes
to the conclusion that this peculiarly
is not due to the planets atmosphere.
Indeed, Arago has called attention to
the fact that upon this hypothesis the
redness should be more decided at the
borders of the planet than in the CEN
trail portions, since the luminous rays
traverse a greater thickness of atmOs-
phere, and traverse it more obliquely.
in the regions near the limb, when the
contrary effect is observed. 1t has also
been remarked that this hypothesis
does not explain why the red tint is not
general. Mr.. Lockyer has suggested
that the color may depend upon the
cloudy state of the planet, and the
spectroscope gives considerable sup
port to this hypothesis. In 1862 the
planet was clearer of clouds and more
ruddy than in 1864. The explanation
of this is that when Mars is clouded the
light reflected by the clouds undergoes
less absorption than that reflected by
the planet itself. The spectroscope in
dictated this increased absorption on
one occasion by showing that the re-
fiected sunlight was without a large
portion of the blue rays.
Lambert has attempted to explain the
ruddy color Of the spots, and their dis
or indistinctness during the
Martial winter, by the hypothesis that
the vegetation on the planet is red in

The Solitary Mosquito.

The Spicers had returned to their city
home, and Seth had settled himself
down for good square sleep, with the
blissful consciousness that there was no
." train to CATCH the next morning,
when Mrs. S. suddenly reared her head
up from the pillow and ejaculated:
"Seth!,

Spouse.
"Seth, do stop snoring and wake
up;'' and Mrs. S. emphasized her re-
quest with soft fist in her lords
back.
Whoof! All! Yes, yes; what's
marrer?' said Spicer, brokenly, at the
same time wildly throwing out his
hand and driving his partners head
with a dreadful thump against the head
board.
"Ouch! You clumsy thing, why
don't you knock my head OFF, walled
the lady.

heard to murmur, "'gainst the law

'.Tell him send his bill in LIST Janu-
ary," said Spicer, with final effort to
dodge the issue.
Mrs. S., however, was memorable,
and Spicer rolled out of bed, crawled
into dressing-gown and slippers,
turned up the gas and began search
for that cunning fiend, the solitary mos
quito who always survives his compan-
ions and lays in wait to harass the I'M
happy householder sometimes far into
the winter.
Spicer commenced the hunt in the
regulation manner, by walking about
the room with towel in his hand and
his ewes fixed upon the ceiling. At the
third stride he trod upon the rocking
chair. which responded promptly with
blow in the stomach, that left him no
wind to swear with. As he straight
cned up his eve caught sight of an in
sect over the water.fxture, and stag
gering toward it, he dealt blow that
would have felled an OK, but as there
was not an OK there, he only smashed a
china-mug and a soap-dish. Here the
baby woke up and joined in the exer-
cises with a dismal howl, and Mrs. Spi-
Ger remarked that she did not see for
the life of her why man who was so
near-sighted that he couldn't see across
the room did not put on his glasses be-
fore he smashed all the chamber-furni-
ture and woke up the house.
Seth made no reply, but the manner
in which he settled his eyeglasses on
his nose and gripped the towel indi-
Gated that if the mosquito had been an
elephant he would not have quailed be-
fore him then. He searched the cell
ing carefully again, squinted behind the

Seven years ago this conversation

the St. Denis to call upon Mrs. Felix
Lundy Howith, who has Just arrived
from England on three months visit.
Before left her a sweet-faced English

that pretty, lght-natured, fascinating
little Emily.
Here's our sentiment against your

it works.
