Fertilizers on Corn.

I observed one curious result. In
planting corn, 90 rows were man
ured with superphosphate in the hill,
20 upon the hill after planting; ~
rows upon the hill hoed in after the
corn was up, and 20 more after the
corn was three to four inches high.
The only notable result Was that
the second 90 rows had to be rer
planted. Not one quarter of the
hills did more than sprout, and then
the plantlets kernels softened, a very
few making o struggling life. After
replanting, the corn did well, and
now makes a good stand. l get
about half result from superphos>
phate narrowed in broad cast with
corn, for fodder, as when applied to
corn in drills-that is, when the fer
tilizer was scattered in the furrow,
and corn sown in and covered. l
am confident that although that in
drills was put in week later, there
is now fully twice the burden of fod-
der upon the land that there is upon
the broadcast plan.-Er.

considerably less than one foot in a

made of six inch tile pipe; the
smaller drains are two rods apart.
We drove over this field in q care

luxuriant growth of grass of several

seemed 20 take the lead, the rich
soil imparting to it something of the
character which the same plant as"

Partridges and Corn.

To show how useful the beautiful
and harmless partridge is, it was
stated that o flock of them was seen
running along the rows Of corn just
sprouting, and seeing them engaged
at something which was believed to
be pulling up the young corn; one
of them was killed and its "crop"
examined, which was found to con-
tain one cutworm, twenty~one striped
bugs, and over one hundred chinch
bugs. Another man says that he
has adopted measures to protect the
bird, and that they have become so
numerous and so tame that hundreds
of them, when the snow falls, can be
seen in the barn yard with his fowls
when they are fed. AS a result of
their presence upon his premises,
his wheat crops we're unusually
abundant, while in many other
places not far off The chinch bug and
other insects had destroyed half the
crop.-Frchange.

The Horse to His Master.

Although heaven has given very
great powers to men to use the brute
CT cation, it dislikes the abuse of our
patient and irrational servants. We
are told by au esteemed friend, that
the publication of tbe following PEI
tition, supposed to be addressed by
a horse to his master, will do some
good in calling attention to the needs
of horses and to their too frequent
abuse by their owners: "Going up
bill, whip me not; going down hill,
hurry me not; on level road, spare
me not; loose in stable. forget me
not; of hay and fodder, rob me not;
of clean water, stint me not; of soft,
dry bed, deprive me not; tired or
hot, wash me not; if sick or cold,
chill me not; with sponge and brush,
neglect me not; with bits and reins,
oh, jerk me not; and when you ore
angry, strike me n0k."

THE STORM IN SUMMER.

On sultry day in summer.
When the air was parched and Dry
l was dreaming ty the seaside.
Gazing out upon the sky.
Here and there tinge Of whiteness'
Flecked the deep ethereal blue,
But in clouds Of gloomy darkness
Swiftly vanished either hue.
Socn l saw the lightnings playing
Der the crested waves at sea;
While the scenes majestic grandeur
Told a tale flove to me,
Which the loudly rolling thunder,
With its grand, yet awful roar
Through the air reverherating'
Seemed to echo DER and Ger.
But at last the storm was over,
And again the sky was blue;
And again the clouds OF whiteness
Lent their beauty to its hue.
Then I went my way in gladness.
And my soul drank In the sight,
For, to greet my grateful vision,
Out of darkness came the light.

Winter Lettuce.

Lettuce is one of the few vegetar
bles that one might have the whole
year-and we think it is eaten with
a better relish in the winter and
early spring than at any other time.
The system seems then to demand
variety and change, when the cold
is relaxing, the days lengtheniug,
and tho warmth increasing. Every
family that has a fine little garden
spot can enjoy the luxury with very
little trouble. All that is necessary
is to build frame of coarse boards,
cover it with closely-ftting glass
sash, and place it in sunny spot,
somewhat protected. In this plant
the lettuce sets about six inches
apart, in good ground, and keeE
them properly watered. They viii
grow all winter, and in the early
spring will form beautiful large
heads, to encourage the appetite ane
grace the table. The earlier in th'
autumn this operation is begun tn
better.
The brown Dutch and Hammer
smith hardy green are the best va
rieties for winter use. The seed

are so hardy that if planted in
sheltered situation and protected b..
loose covering of straw and ever
green boughs they will stand tn
winter we'll. If transplanted in
} cold frame, as suggested above, the,

MYTHS Are But Symbols of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but
beautiful mythologies of the ancients
the embodied expressions of the hun
cry human soul, blindly cropping after
the Infinite, SO the physician sees in that
popular myth of the sixteenth century the
fountain of perpetual health and youth
an expression of the longings of suffering
humanity for remedy that should forever
prevent the incursion of disease. The wilds
of Europe were ransacked for this wonder
full fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for
it in the cypress swamps and tangled ever
glades of our sunny Florida. Men have
searched for it everywhere and anywhere
but where it really is--in the human body
itself. The blood is the real fountain Of
perpetual health and youth. When this
producing effects are visible in many shapes.
The null. iiarious forms in which il manifests
itself would form subjects upon which /
might write volumes. But as all the varied
forms of disease which depend upon bad
blood are cured or best treated by such
medicines as take up from this fluid and
excrete from the system the noyious Gle.
ments, 1t is not Of practical importance that
| should describe each. For instance, mcdi-
cal authors describe about fifty varieties OF
skin disease, but IS they all require for their
cure very similar treatment, it is of no prac-
teal utility to know just what name to apply
to certain form OF skin disease, So you
know how best to cure it. Then again, !

scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swell
iags, enlarged glands, and ulcers Of VARYING
appearance; might describe how virulent
poison might show itself in various forms of
eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors,
etc; but as all these various appearing
manifestations of bad blood are cured by
uniform means, deem such course I'M
necessary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood,
which is the great fountain of life, and good
digestion, a fai. skin, buoyant Spirits vital
strength, and soundness OF constitution, will
all return to us. For this purpose DR..

owner Of one Of them in this city. He
is a stylish little fellow, with gray plum
age, a red breast, black tips to his wings
and black cap on his head, and he was
broug bit up and trained b. a white.
haired old German. The young lady's
father has white hair, and the bird is
fonder Of him than of any one. When
he is pleased, or when any of his favor.
ties come near him, he manifests it by
putting up all his feathers until he looks
like a perfect ball, but when he is angry
he shakes himself and scelds in a funny
little "squawk" that is infinitely divert
ing. He is very fond of his young mis-
tress, but less so than he is of his master,
and he has one trick, that of making a
bow and giving the little squawk for
l" good morning" that he will only do
for him. The young lady's mother is an
invalid, and spends much of her time
humoring the whims of Master Bull
finch, whom she adores. The bird takes
her admiration and devotion as the lordly
sex is very apt to do-in apparent indif-
ference and lofty superciliousness; but
since when the lady is away he misses
his slave, and shows how bored he is BY
scolding all the time, this fact of her
being SO indispensable to him consoles
her for the ungraciousncss of her little
tyrant, as it does so many of her sex for
that of their greater ones, and makes her
keep on spelling him.
Bullfinches do not sing-they whistle
and this one, of course, as an accom-
plished bullfnch should, whistles very
prettily the tune that he was trained
into. But sometimes he gets off the
key, and then his disgust at himself is
very great. He shakes himself vigor-
ously, and finally begins again very
slowly to practice the hayward passage
over and over again until he has got it
right, when he starts off glibly from the
beginning and whistles it clear through
without fault.
TIE youthful mistress of this charm
ing bird who is very handsome and
charming brunette, has a young lady
friend who often calls in to spend an
hour or so with her. From the moment
the bulltinch first saw this maiden he
took a violent fancy to her, and showed
his preference for her over everybody
but his white-haired master in the most
unmistakable manner. He will not
whsle when she is in the room, but
looks at her fixedly, keeping himself ruff
fled into a ball all the time. When
othe: people feed him with seeds he runs
to the wires impatiently, snatches the
seed and snaps at the person, but when
she offers him one he advances as quietly
as possible and receives it gently off her
finger, his irritability quite subdued.
He nanifests the same satisfaction every
time she comes to the house, and the
only explanation the family can give of
it is that his original white-haired owner
mus have had daughter with yellow
hair like that of the young lady, and
that in specially singing her out, along
witt his master, for his favorites, he is
in reality remaining faithful to his
earliest associations.-Boston Post.
