EXPERIMENTS SUGGESTED.

Practical knowledge is only to be acquired
by actual experiment, and is the only kind of
any real value. If all soils were exactly
alike, having the same exposure and protec-
tion, subject to the same climate, and tho
same amount of rainfall, at exactly the same
dates, farming would at once rise to the dig
nifty of an exact science One set of expert.
ments anywhere would be the foundation for
all farm operations of the same kind every
where. The vast body of farmers, so far as
concerned their own svocation, would become
mere machines, or even less. in the social
scale. Brains would be Of no value, and the
fool of the family would do as well as the ge-
MUS on the farm.
Fortunately, however, the soil is various
and must be treated with brains, or it fails to
produce. Business men never trust any one
until inquiries have been made into his stand
ing and his ability to fulfill his promises.
Farmers, however, never think of inquiring
into the character of the land they are going
to trust their seed to. They say to them.
selves, "That's land, and this is seed; let's
try them together"
1t has been asserted that fertilizers are all
washed down into the subsoil by rains, and
are lost-if so, why is the subsoil always
poor? An experiment, easily made, would
settle this question for ever. 1t is the prac-
tice with many to put on too much lime,
hoping to create plenty of plant food. But
they create too much, and the crop goes to
stems and leaves at the expense Of the grain.
Experiment would teach valuable lesson
here. The question of deep or shallow plow-
ing and cultivation is yet debatable one /;
why not experiment--prove that which is
good and hold fastlto ita Light and heavy
seeding; early and late sowing; home grown
or foreign grown seed seed grown north or
south of us; seed gathered when half ripe or
when wholly matured subsoiling, or even
whether it pays to feed starving fields as well
as to keep stock always growing-are all
open questions. 2-Ef 80. -r,8tits#
Why is this so? Why have six thousand
years Of ceaseless tillage taught us nothing ?
And are we to go on six thousand years more
in the same style? As every farm is, in a
measure, sui generis, so must every farmer be
its genius loci. Don't trust man till you
know him. :. Don't trust your land till you
know it. Experiment, dig, pry, and inquire
at every opportunity; don't quarrel with a
family you are not acquainted with, and, above
all things, don't bury money in hole with
out bottom.-S. RUFUS MASON, in Rural
New Yorker. ,.u.... s.s,...-.

From our own Correspondent.
Seeding is completed and the boys cele-
brated the event by little dance in the
hall, Thursday evening.
Wheat is up and doing well, considering
the dry weather A little rain would great
ly improve Dame Natures appearance.
To be in the fashion, Hancock had fire.
About $3.50 p. m, Saturday, April l9th, q
cry of fire was given, and it was soon as
certained to be at the residence of Mr..
Gesme. By the energetic efforts of the
citizens, 1t was soon extinguished Loss
very slight l. was caused by throwing a
half lighted stick of wood in the wood box
containing rubbish, which soon ignited and
communicated to the wall which was soon
ablaze. By tearing off the side il quickly
stayed the progress of the fire. This little
blaze taught lesson. 1t showed the Cit.
zens their utter helplessness in case of q
conflagration, and measures have been
taken to procure town we'll. The bust
ness men have contribut literally to the
project, and almost sufficient funds have
been collected and it is expected that 9
bored we'll will soon be procured.
AS our county gradually passes from q
wild prairie to cultivated farms, many re
quirements are needed, and now the great
est requirement is the proper laying out o.
roads. 1t is almost shutdown on the day Of
shortcuts, for scarcely section in the 10
cality but what some of it is broken ant
cropped, and driving over grain, on the ole
roads, cannot be tolerated. Signs marked
keep off, have been posted up through
out the country, and some men come alon,
who are mean enough to steal the sign
board and post for kindling wood, ant
then drive across the grain. Such is too
thin, and something should be done TO

Moore & Kenner are now prepared to fill
orders for Pure Water Wells, using an Au-
ger which makes smooth, round hole
eleven inches in diameter, and capable of
going down to any depth required. The
wells are lined with Seamless Stone Tub
ing, which fills the hole full on the sides
next to the ground through which it passes,
and prevents the running of the surface
water into the well, thus giving only the
pure, soft water from the veins under the
blue clay. We have well now in opera

The Union Services.

The thirty-second gospel meeting, held by
the evangelists, Messrs. Whittle and McGran-
ahan, gave abundant evidence that these ear
nest proclaimers of the gospel message, by
preaching and song, are not losing but rather
gaining in favor with the people. The night
being intensely disagreeable, it was somewhat
of a surprise to find the large auditorium OF
the Baptist church two-thirds filled with an
attentive audience. Major Whittle as usual,
opened with song, and, in fact, the first quarter
Of the service consists largely of song, solos,
choruses, male quartettes, ETC., being mingled
all in harmony with the subject Of the sermon,
as afterwards announced. The subject of the
| address was a continuation of the thought OF
| the previous evening, another blind mans ex.
perience related in John, 9th chapter, being
| taken as the text of the discourse. The forci.
bic discussion and presentation of the subject
was made doubly interesting by numerous
illustrations, many of which were drawn from
the speakers rich personal appearance. After
! the sermon the usual inquiry meetings were
held, and many remained to discuss the matter
of their personal responsibility to God with
Maj. Whittle and others.
Three meetings will be held to-day: The
morning prayer meeting from $3.50 to $50 in
the old Summer Garden, now turned into 6
Gospel Garden; the afternoon bible reading al
Plymouth church, commencing at $3.50 o'clock
| and the usual gospel meeting in the Baptis,
church in the evening, the service at that time
being conducted with special reference to the
young people, who on this evening are specially
invited to be present.

Death of Charles *, Peck.

Charles X. Peck, president of the Northern
Transportation company, Keokuk, Iowa, we'll
known in this city, died at the Grand Pacific
hotel, Chicago, at a quarter past 1 o'clock on
Wednesday AFTERNOON. Mr.. Peck arrived in
that city from st. Louis on the morning of
Thanksgiving day, and was then laboring un-
der severe attack of pneumonia. Dr. Nc
Vickar was called in and prescribed for the suf-
ferer but, on Friday morning, seeing that the
disease had taken fatal hold of bis patient, tel
egrapted Mrs. Peck, at Rochester, N. T.,
whittier the lady had conducted her son to COL
lege' and also forwarded a dispatch to Mr..
Peck's daughter, at tho family residence III
Keokuk. Both wife and daughter hastily re-
sponded to the summons, the latter arriving at
the bedside of her father on Sunday morning,
and the former on the forenoon following,
where they remained in constant attendance
until his death.
M. Peck was born in Syracuse, N. Y, in
1881, and at the age of 20 years graduated at
the head of his class in Union college, Schenec-
tady. The greater part of the ten years fol-
lowing his graduation was devoted to various
mercantile pursuits at different points in his
native State. In 1864 he moved to Keokuk,
accompanied by his family, composed of wife
son and daughter, and Immediately entered
into contract with the government for the
forwarding of Indian and army supplies to
various stations in the West. He shortly after
ward organized the Northern TRANSPORTATION
company, and has been recognized as its ex-
ecutive head up to the present time. He is re-
ported to leave large estate, and, what is still
better, untarnished reputation.
