Joseph Harris, who has become not
ed as the familiar correspondent upon
farm topics for the An.eriean Ayricul-
tatrist, in his recent book entitled
'sTalks on Manures," says:
"Many farmers who use lime for the
FIRST time on wheat, are apt to feel
little discouraged in the spring. have
frequently seen lined wheat in the
spring look worse than where no lime
was used. But wait little, and you
will see change for tho better, and at
harvest the lime viii generally give
good account of ITSELF There is one
thing about lime which, if generally
true, is an important matter to our
wheat-growers. Lime is believed to
hasten the maturity Of the crop. It is
true Of nerly all our cultivated crop"
says the late Prof. johnson, but especial
" of those Of wheat that their full
growth is attained more speedily when
the land IS lined, and that they are
ready for tho harvest from ten TO
fourteen days earlier. This is the case
even with buckwheat, which becomes
sooner ripe, though it yields no larger
a return when lime is applied to the
land on which it is grown"
'sIn districts where the zlidge affects
the wheat, it is exceedingly important
to get a variety Of wheat that ripens
early; and If lime will favor early ms
turity without checking the growth, i
is Of great value.

We want our readers to stop Just
for one moment and look at this mat
ter. These nurses who have gone out of
the pure air of their homes to II =
plague-stricken towns, to handle and
tenderly care for dead and dying men
who are utter strangers to them, need a
higher courage than any soldier march
ing into the thick of battle. They
gain nothing, neither pay nor glory.
Their victories are not watched by a
proud country, for whose honor they
gave their lives. If they die no weep
ing nation will, year by year, hang
laurels on their graves. The Howard
nurse is only mentioned in the papers
as tone Of twenty-five arriving on
such date, or zone of twenty" who
are dead. His name nobody knows.
If he falls, his friends only learn of it
because he fails to return. There is no
battle-cry or martial music to cheer his
soul in its last struggle with death; in
the future there is to be no roll-call of
victorious army, and with proud an
swer TO his name, "Died upon the
field of honor" He gives his life for
some poor plague-stricken wretch, prob
ably of less value to the world than
himself, in the poisoned air Of soil,
tary chamber, where there is none but
God to know. He IS buried hastily in
nameless grave, with shuddering and
fear, and quicklime is thrown upon The

Gen. Abramoff, the Russian envoy
10 Cabul, has already earned q name
on more dangerous fields than those
OF diplomacy. At the great battle Of
Irdjar, which ended the Bokharoite
"holy war; OF 1866, he and Col. Pes
talkoF commanded under Gen. Ro-
manoviski, who, finding himself with
but 1000 men In front Of 20 900 Box
haroites, wished TO retreat. His two
subordInates, having vainly urged
the peril OF such o course In the face
of overwhelming odds, went out as
II to obey him and at once opened
FIRE. The enemy, confounded by
this audacity, and by the havoc which
the Russian rocket batteries made
among them, gave way on all sides,
and the commander-in-chief, as has
happened in other countries than
Central Asia, gained the chief credit
OF q victory which was wholly due
10 his Iteutenants. The black skull
eapwhich surmounts Gen. Abramofps Is
frank, manly face, commentaries a
yet more daring exploit in 1870, viz,
the heading of the forlorn hope at
the ShekhrI -Sebzian fortress Of kitab.
BY some mistake, the supports failed
to come up, and the gallant handful
were overwhelmed by superior num-
bsrs. In the thick of the fight q ma
tive marksman discharged his piece
close to Abramoff's forehead, the bull
let blowing a ghastly furrow right
across the scalp from front to back,
the scar of which Is stiIl visible. But
despite all his terrible experiences
tho governor Of Eamarcand is still as
hearty and genial companion a
ever, aboundlng In jokes and good
stories, and the very essence Of hos
pItality to all who visit him.
