BY these figures, three tons to the acre
of clover would give $50 bushels of
wheat, 225 bushels of corn, or 10 tons of
hay, simply by useing three times the
amount of artificial manure indicated
above. Ny basis for these calculations
have been taken from several agricultur-
al publications, mostly the Pl0ughman,
within two years, and as the different es-
Inmates do not agree, / have taken one
which seems to be an aYearge of the
whole. Now, have not these estimates
been exaggerated, or does practical
experience prove what is here demon
strated? If correct, it seems that all a
man has to do to get rich, is to get few
acres to produce two or three tons to the
acre, and this is no extraordinary crop,

saw it stated in a local paper that
Mr.. Sanborn, of the New Hampshire
College, has experimental in feeding tuT-
-nips, and comes to the conclusion that
bnshel of turnips is worth as many cents
as ton of hay is dollars, or that one
hundred bushels of turnips are worth as
a ton of hay to feed to young cattle.
Now, what is the experience of farmers
in general Are they not worth more
Can we raise aud feed them for nine |
cents per bushel? 1t would hardly pay |

A new product made from petroleum is a
jelly called "Vaseline," which is of the greatest
utility in medicine, pharmacy and for toilet use.
Physicians all over the world have discovered
it's great value in the treatment of wounds,
burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where liniment is needed and
IN almost every hospital in America and Europe
this substance Is now in constant use and is &C
knowledged not only to be the best treatment,
but also one Of the most important recent ad-
ditions to medicine. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior to those of any
known substance, while the speedy relief it af-
fords for piles and chilblains is almost magical.
As an emollient, Vaseline is way ahead OF any
thing else, as it renders the skin smooth, soft,
and clear, and our lady friends will find il not
only the best, but perhaps the sole substance
which will really preserve and restore to the
complexion the hdes of youth, making the
cheek like velvet and the skin like satin There
Is also made "Pomade Vaseline," which is said
to be of great benefit to the hair, keeping it
soft and glossy, preventing and curing dandruff,
and keeping the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable creatures
which sometimes find dwelling there. Num-
berless instances are cited Of how, by the use
OF this pomade, thin and falling hair has re-
sumed vigorous growth. But the pure Vase
line and the pomade are put up in twenty-five
cent bottles and are to be found at all rst-class
druggists, and we advice our readers to make a
trial OF this wonderful substance, and we think
they will find its claims to merit not in the
least exaggerated

GENTLEMEN's FASHIONS.
What 10 Wear and How To Wear IT.
From the New York Home Journal


From the New York Home Journal
In the frock coat for receptions OF
dinners there is little or no change, ex'
cept that there is a tendency to leave
off the silk breast-facings. 1t is worn
with plain gray trousers, or with trous'
ers of light shade, having narrow
stripe.
For the morning or walking suit the
co at is made of wide-wale black dag
onal, buttoning high up, with one or
three buttons, at the option OF the
wearer; the waist little longer than
formerly, and the skirt little shorter,
well rounded off. The sleeves end in a
deep cuff, with two button holes, fin
ished with fiat and rather wide braid.
When the trousers are of blue-and-black
narrow stripe, or of check, the coat and
waistcoat are of one material. II the
trousers are of lighter color and more
fancy pattern, then the trousers and
waistcoat are of one material.
For the lounge suit: A sack-coat,
buttoning high up, with four buttons !;
cut obliquely away from the fourth but
ton, and barely reaching to the end of
the fingers when the arm is extended.
1t is cut in close to the figure. The
edges are double-stitched, the lines of
stitching wide apart. The sleeves are
finished with rather long vent and
one button. Such coats are made of
soft tweeds and Scotch homespun, in
patterns of very iudistinct plaids, of
small mixed broken brown, or of gray
checks with Knickerbocker spots. The
waistcoat is made with standing col
lar and the trousers are moderately
close-ftting. The homespun is heavier
and closer-woven than that of last
spring. Than this material none is bet
ter suited to our variable climate. Soft
neither too light nor too weighty, it is
just the thing TO wear between the sea,
sons. 1t is grateful to the touch, pleas
ing to the eye, and if it catches the
DUST" the dust is never seen, and
brush is scarcely ever required, the
dust being easily shaken from the sur
face.
For the evening dress the coat is
made rather shorter than formerly, SO
as to fall little above the small of the
leg. The collar is a little wider, and in
front turns over only to the second hole
from the bottom of the waist; it is
faced with silk, extending to the button
holes. The sleeve-cuff is plain and
deep, without buttons. The waistcoat
does not open SO far down as last year,
but the opening is wider, showing more
of the shirt-front, which must be plain
and ornamented with but one stud; the
shirt-collar turned down. The cloth
for the coat and waistcoat should be of
a black and very fine sandgrain, with a
dull finish; the trousers of the same, or
of unfinished. very fine diagonal.
Overcoats are single-breasted, made
fyfront, and are cut to fit the figure
closer than the old loose sacque. The
favorite materials are English melton
in negative or undecided colors;
"Venetians in steel-grays and light
and dark browns; soft-finished tweeds;
mixed" goods; Scotch homespuns-
almost any medium-weight coat-mate-
rial, except smooth-faced broadcloth or
diagonal goods.

1t is estimated that the jetties, by
partially improving the channel at the
mouth of the river, saved the country
$1,60O,000 during the year ending
Sept. /, 1878, by production in freights
on cotton alone.
1t must he borne in mind that the
channel through the jetties is only just
obtained. The changes that will take
place in the production and shipments
of cereals and cotton will come slowly,
but in few years we will see one of
the greatest revolutions of the century
in agriculture and commerce.

The Results Of the Construction of the
Mississippi Jetties.

Mr.. E. l.. Corthell, the resident en-
gineer at Port Eads, in an illustrated
paper in Scribner, writes as follows
concerning the practical benefits of
Capt Eads' work at South pass:
1t is not too broad an assertion to
make, that every theory advanced by
Capt. Eads, every statement made by
him in reference to the channel which
he should secure, and in reference to
the advance of the bar in front of his
works, has been fully verified by actual
results. These results are all that the
most sanguine anticipated, but the OBJ
jects for which the jetties were built
are of far greater importance, for they
affect the welfare of millions and are
destined finally to exert an influence
on the whole country.
These objects will be realized in a
developn ent, and in an increasing pros
perity of the Mississippi valley. The
work which has been accomplished will
stretch its relieving and assisting hand
to the remotest frontiersman, who,
knowing that an open river mouth will
make it profitable for him to raise cereals,
will cut down new forests and cultivate
a larger farm. 1t will induce greater
production everywhere in the Missis-
sippi valley, and with it an increasing
immigration.
Already the grain expert of the val
ley is turning into this, its natural
channel. The following table, COM
piled from official sources, will show the
tendency to increasing shipments by
the way of the jetties:

A Motherly Talk with Mothers.


One morning, not long since, bethought me
to look after mouse-trap that had been set
the day before. Time and again had taken
mice from that same trap, and reset it without
any compunctions of conscience, but was rather
glad to see the little pests getting thinned out.
This morning, however, was deeply moved at
the sight that met my eyes. An old mother
mouse had been caught, was dead, cold and
stiff. Three little ones followed and were
nestled close to her. They did not try to get
away; they seemed to have no fear while close
to their mother-if | moved the trap on the
floor they followed. or course we DESTROYED
the little ones, too. The old mother mouse
risked her own life, lost it, and lei her children
to destruction through giving way to her desire
for little cheese All dav, when thought of
the little mice, felt Fad, not that / had so
much sympathy for them, but they had set mo
thinking how many parents among human
beings-those calling themselves reasonable,
rational crsatures-lead their children on to
destruction by themselves yielding to desires
and appetites that should be crushed or put
down altogether One mother that L knew
would have brandy and wine for culinary pur-
poses. Puddings with brandy sauce mince-
pies, strongly favored with brandy, were often
found on her table. Three of her SONS went
early to their graves through dissipation; an
other lived TO be older, but, though highly
gifted, was druDkard. Did she not lead her
children TO destruction by yielding to her own
desires? Had she not wanted the taste of rum
i'm those things il would not have been ON her
table 10 plant and cultivate an appetite in her
children. Oh how many, like Esau, sell not
only their birih-right for morsel OF food, but
their own lives and the lives and happiness Of
their children.
Often times parents rick their lives without
stopping to consider that their children have a
claim on them that they have no right 10 ignore.
Only the other day, man yielded to the temp
tation TO walk on top OF the cars, and lost his
life But was he the only losery Was that
life entirely his own, or did his wife and chill

ChiIdhood's Home.

In dream saw the home of my childhood.
How well l remember opening the gate and
walking up the path to the open door, entering
once more the old sitting-room. glanced at
the walls which were hung with picture tho
work of my fathers hands All were in their
places, and, as l wandered on from room to
room, each looked as it did when saw it last
1 came to my fathers studio, and, looking in
at the door, saw him standing, brush and
palette in hand, viewing the last few strokes he
had given the picture on the easel before him.
There stand his paints and brushes; over
there are number OF pictures turned toward
the wall To dry and await his further manipula-
ton. Yes, all was there; nothing was missing
But the thought came to my mind, Where Is
my mother? and again l traverse the house
and find her in her favorite place reading, and
happy as l remember her years ago. Hark
there is the old church bell Following the
impulse of my heart, follow the path through
the old church-yar with its many graves
some 100 years old-as you might zee by the
inscription on the moss-covered headstones.
Entering the church my eyes wandered from
one face to another; all were familiar, seeming
not one bit older, and, as | gaze on the
white headed minister, who for forty
long years has occupied the same
pulpit, l can scarcely believe that
ten years have passed since L last wor-
my grandmother's grave; and there, as every
where, / found nothing changed. As stood
there beside that green mound, again before my
vision sprung the face that sleeps beneath the
sod How we'll l remembered each unkind
word or act that had given, and there beside
her grave | could think only of her goodness,
self-sacrifce and love for us, and how little we
did to repay her. l said: "Can this be a
dream? Can it be possible that the past few
years of sorrow is only dream, and have
awakened to real life?" Still drear1ing, l said,
in my mind @Oh, that could only know that
/ am still a school-g girl" and FASTENED my
steps toward the old school-house The door
was unfa tened, and l went to the very desk
where l often sat: here again saw no change
the same pencil marks are there, and right here
some boy had rudely carved his name.
Bewidered, L drew my hand across my eyes
and tried TO think, and awoke to find it-alas!
but a dream, and / a thousand miles removed
from the scenes of my early life. Nothing is
left to me of my chlldhoods home, save the
pictures on the walls My father eight long
years has been resting beneath the sod. My
mother is with me now, and, when look al
her dark brown hair, / wonder how she has
passed through SC many weary years, and
yet not silver thread has shown itself among
ner silken braids Ivy.
