ITEMS ABOUT THE TRIAL-A SUMMARY OF

1t seems probable that contrary to expecta
| ton, the presidential canvass of 1880 will be
conducted during a period of business un
certainty and depression. The political eX
element itself will contribute to the disturb
ancc Of the markets, otherwise unsettled, and
tend to add perpleXity to the situation of bust
ness men.
| 1t Is now generally admitted that both in
| Wall street and the merchandise markets
this summer is destined to be dull one
Men Will have plenty of leisure for political
discussion while they are waiting for the
revival of prices.
Last autumn everything went up with a
bound-all stocks and bonds, every manufac.
tured article, and the staple products of the
country. Men found that there was price
even for bonds and stocks they had deemed
worthless except as old paper. Visions of
wealth came to all the foundry men, and the
bulls controlled the grain, cotton, produce,
and groceries markets.
The tea merchants, who had long found it
difficult to keep their heads above water. be-
gan to make money rapidly. The paper man
ufacturers combined to run up paper from 80
to - per cent, and had hopes Of a still great
er advance in the future. Imports increased
rapidly, and again began tn 90 ahead of the
exports, enormous as they were The opinion
prov thhl at last tlC SbDu NiL1t WIS COul-
ing-nay, that il had already come.
But with this year came in very speedily
a severe and general reaction, and the pros
pect is that most Of 1880 will be spent before
trade and prices reach an equilibrium, and
business can proceed with stable markets.
The encouraging feature of the situation Is
the proved ability OF the merchants to stand
up under the heavy depression prices which
has succeeded the buuyancy of last autumn
The number offaiiurcs has been comparatively
small though the decline in prices was so
heavy that in some cases they are now lower
than they have been for several years

MUTTON THE MEAT FOR FARMERs.-The
cheapest meat for the farmer is NUT
ton. 1t may safely be said to cost nothing,
as the fleece from the sheep Of good breed
will amply pay for its keeping. Then, for
additional profit, there is II lamb or two, the
pelt of the animal if killed at home, the ex.
cellent manure from its droppings, and the
Of the pastures from weeds, to which
sheep are destructive foes, With the excep-
ton of poultry, mutton is the most conve-
nient meat for the farmer. A sheep is easily
killed and dressed by a single hand IN an
hour, and IN the warmest weather it can be
readily disposed of before it spoils. Science
and experience both declare it the healthlest
kind of meat, and a foolish prejudice alone
prefers pork, which, whether fresh or salt, is
the unhealthIest OF all.-Christian at Work.

And the people moving to and fro;
And beyond without either roof or street,

Beyond the headlands and harbor Of Lynn,
And young man standing on the deck,
With silken kcrchief round his neck.
Now he is pressing it to his lips,
And now he is kissing his finger tips;
And now he is lifting and waving his hand
And blowing the kisses toward the land!

That is bringing my lover back to me-
Bringing my lover, so fond and true,

Professor W. w. Tracy says that his most
profitable crop was five acres of squashes, from
which he obtained twenty tons and $50 for
seed. The expense of cultivating was less
than that of any other five acres he had, and
the whole cost was less than that of an equal
area in hay, including everything. The ground
was ploughed, and worked in rows eight feet
each way, with a third of bushel of manure
to each hill. The plants had one cultivation
with a three-shovel plough, one hoeing, one
dressing with two-horse cultivator, and after
wards the large weeds were pulled. He found
squash good feed to start stock TO fatten, as
well as for other purposes. The variety was

The best fertilizer to use IN settln iruttrees
OF all kinds IS partially or thoroughly decom.
posed CHIP dirt. We made Use of the material
for the first time some twenty years ago in
planting an orchard and it was wonder to
those not in the secret what caused the trees to
make such fine growth the first season. and
afterwards, too, for that matter. This expert.
nent was so satisfactory that when we set our
new orchard we made liberal use of this ma
terial, with the same satisfactory result These
trials have proved to our satisfaction that chip
dirt Is the very best material to mix IN the soil
as you plant the tree that can possibly be used,
for the reason that 1t holds moisture, and is
full of the elements of plant TODD; therefore
II promotes a most luxuriant. natural and
healthy growth. Repeated trials have satisfied
me that tree is not only more sure 70 live
but will make double the growth the first year
Especially II dry season., If some two bush
els of chip dirt are properly used in its setting
than it would without 1t. A single trial will
convince the most skeptical that the best pos
sible use that can be made of this valuable
material Is to apply it to the soil in planting
trees IN order to push them forward during
The first precarious stages of their growth.

A pretty parlor ornament may be had by
growing English or other Ivy in vases in moss
and water The vases should be long, opaque
glass ones, wide at the top, so that the plants,
after being properly rooted, can be taken out
and the vases cleaned when necessary. If Eng
lish Ivy Is used, the slips should, if possible,
already be provided with aerial roots. Place
three or four slips in each vase, each piece be-
ing rolled up separately in sphagnum moss.
Before putting them into the vase bind the
clumps together the bali of moss being so
large that it will not reach within five or six
inches of the bottom. The roots will extend
down into the water, and the plants will thrive
nicely with an occasional change of water.

Prairie Sugar.

SPRINGFIELD Ill.,, May 37-The sugar cane
growers OF this state met at the rooms of the
state agricultural department to-day. About
forty gentlemen were present, when the meet
ing was called TO order by Dr. E. E. Newbury,
of Sharpsburg who nominated d. p. Gillian,
Of Madison, as chairman. Mr.. Gillian took
the chair, and after thanks, SAID that the old
methods of farming were becoming obsolete,
and that farmers who had formerly made for
tunes by growing corn and raising cattle were
becoming impoverished Hence the necessity
Of a new industry to take the place of the old.
He said the sugar makers were opening up a
field which, if properly encouraged, would
result very favorably to the farmers and manu-
facturers Of the state. Dr. f. T. Newbury
was chosen secretary He also made short
address, making some suggestions that were
prompted by an experience of fifteen years IN
cane growing and sugar making. Gov. Cul-
lom was called in, and expressed his pleasure
in addressing the convention. He enlarged
upon the Importance OF this new industry,
that Is attracting the attention Of the entire
country. Messrs G. Is. Thomas, r. A. Trbble,
and John Lowe were appointed committee
to recommend programme An interesting
general discussion was had on the subject of
sugar making. Major Mcdowell, of Chicago,
Al. p. Ayers, of jacksonville and VIM. Nuce,
of NokOmis, each expressed their views, the
latter strongly recommending the use of the
Imphee cane A large number of samples of
syrup and sugar manufactured from cane
grown in this state are on exhibition. 1t com.
pares favoraby with raw sugar made else
where, and the manufacturers claim that 1t
cost them but from three to five cents per TO-
to make it. A centrifugal machine is also on
exhibition. 1t is used to take the syrup out of
mush or raw sugar. In a general discussion
upon the culture of corn, the character of soil
necessary for the production of cane was held
by Mr.. Hedges OF st. LOUIS, to be that which
is uncontaminated by animal manure. Lime
Is an excellent application. Mr.. Coleman, of
the Rural IVorld said soil that had been worn
ont in the cultivation of corn was best adapted
to the growing of sugar cane Mr.. Funk, of
Iowa, Mr.. Ellsworth, Of Naperville, Dr. New
bury, Of Sharpsburg, and others, each held to
the same theory. Machinery for crushing and
evaporating was taken up. On this subject
Maj. Mcdowell addressed the convention
The speaker SAID the machinery now used had
not reached the perfection 1t ultimately would
The machinery now IN use was substantially
the same used twenty years ago. He hoped
the next twenty years would show more ad.
vancement.
At the evening session a resolution was
adopted declaring the organization permanent,
and adjourned to meet again at the call of the
resident.-Chicdg0 Times.

WHAT Is GAINED BY CROssING SEEDS 1t
is common practice with horticul,urists to
obtain seeds from another place having very
different soil, so as TO avoid raising plants for
long succession Of generations under the
same conditions; but with all the species
which freely interiors; by the aid of insects or

plan to obtain seeds OF the required variety,

The San Jose mine, Prospect Mountain,
is under lease to W. H. Taylor d Co. Mr..
Taylor is a most excellent miner, and has
always had great faith in the San Jose.
He took a lease Of il last September for
one year. Within a few days past he has
made an important development. Two
men are engaged at present in working the
mine. We learn that they are extracting
on an average one ton a day to the man.
Considering that the ore is rich in gold,
going about $3.50 per ton, they are making
very handsome wages. Two hundred and
fifty dollars a day is not bad for an honest
miner these dull times. The San Jose Is
situated on what is known as the gold belt
Of Prospect Mountain, and is supposed to
be a continuation of the celebrated Silver
Conner lode.
