The Louisiana cotton-boll. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], Attakapas, La.) 1872-1883, 1878-02-20

All this was mysterious enough, bft
the explanation was simple. The banker
was toasting his feet before going to bed,
at his library fire, thinking how glad he
was to be indoors, when his daughter
CAME in and said, after the inconsequent
manner of women, how cold it was out
side, and how warm and cosy she had
been in her own chamber, and how it
had set her to thinking of people who
are cold and hungry, and that she
thought she could sleep better if she
could make some one who needed help
as warm and happy as herself.
THE father was a practical man. He
remembered the little home for children,
but told her tomorrow would be time
enough to look it up. The daughter was
impractical, and insisted that tonight
was the time. The water began to come
into her eyes. So the father gave up, of
course, and put the note in the envelope
as his contribution to the foolish adven.

Mari and lime Is EartiIirnr..

Sand or clay was most conspicuous in
the marls used BY European farmers.
Chemistry revealed the presence of lime,
iron, potash, magnesia, soda, chlorine.
p~hosphoric, sulphuric aud carbonic acids
in many marls. The iertilizing substan-
Gee attracted more attention than either
sand or clay, for their value depends
mainly on the alkaline earths, alkalies
and acids present. Lime and maqnesia
are called alkaline earths; potash and
coda, alkalies. Any earth deposit

II seems that minerals which form the

instead Of remaining widely separated a
in the ocean or in primitive rocks. For
instance, there is a law which unites the
lime derived from hoEnblende and SVEN

different rock, namely, granite. Our
largest oaks, poplars and hickories grow
on limestone soils, whore they find not

contains it near by. Lining helps SOILS
to produce clover and wheat.
Mixing clay and sandy land to i'm
prove the texture and constituents of
both is a practice quite as old as any
written history and lining and marling
are the first steps ID advance of that
primitive art. PAIRING turf and charring
it to obtain turf ashes and roasted clay
come next in order. There are many
ways in which fire will increase the solu-
bility of minerals used as plant food,
besides burning limestone, bones, clays
and rotten granite. A little heat pro-
notes fermentation and the revolution Of
much carbonic acid gas, which isa power
full solvent. Water thrown on quick
lime generates at once a remarkable
amount of heat.
We have known this heat used to kill
the life in the seed of weeds that may
exist in q dunghesp. The lime is slaked
under the heap of manure. Lime is not
to be regarded as a substitute for manure,
but as an aid to increase fr~uitfufness. A
little stable manure goes farther on land
marled or lined than on land not to be so
treated. Glover, peas, and other
waiting plants do better on calcareous soils
than on those where lime is deficient.
1t often happens that m must improve
titled ground or abandon his farm, or
work for a very small compensation.

question, Who regulates the proportion

the mystery Of identical thoughts in dis

in but one way By all the parties con.
cerned in this true story. Says tie New
York Tribune:
"a winter or two ago the director Of
q little orphan asylum neal this city
issued a statement of her receipts and ex-
penditures, for the satisfaction of those
who had given help to it doing the year.
It fell into the hands Of q wealthy man
living some miles.away from the home,
who glanced over it and threw il aside.
No help was asked, and it did not occur
to him to offer any.
GA month or two later, one bitter
night, the manager found herself abso-
lutely without a morsel of food to give
the children fer breakfast. There was.
not even -four nor bread in the house.

the government of the new empress of
India, which paid a bounty on the sew
eral heads of 270,1S5 poisonous snakes
killed in one year. Did this enmity be-
tween man and the serpent begin with
our first parents 1t is curious that
while snakes killed over II, 000 of the
biped that laughs and cries, they caused
the death of only 1896 cattle. In the
province OF Madras leopards killed 1909
cattle and only A human beings.
We have cited fsots enough to prove
that the wheat and cotton growers in
British India labor under peculiar diff
culties.
1t is q mistake to suppose that Nature
and Providence favor man conspicuosly at
the expense of reptiles, tigers and
wolves. While woman in her best
state adds one or two to the pop
ulation of India of her species
a female serpent may add 100 to her low
reptile race. Hence, a war of extermi-
nation against poisonous snakes waged
5000, aud, probably, $4,000 years, finds
these snakes numerous enough to kill
II, 1000 OF their enemies in a year in a
single nation. Agricultural obstacles
are net SO easily surmounted as many
suppose. As farmers we must 60 back
to the origin of things,
Not to do so is to take a very super
fetal view of agriculture. Our advan-
tages are large, but not without some
prominent disadvantages. Perhaps the
greatest difficulty we encounter is the
absence of a taste for sound agricultural
reading and a want of appreciation of
useful knowledge, In his late message
to the legislature, Gov. Robinson, of New
York, says the common school libraries
of that state contain 765,546 volumes,
equal to about 20 to each school. Agri-
cultural libraries are too little known to
common farmers in the south and west.
Thought is progressive.
