Boy Inventors,

Some Of the most important in
venti0ns have been the work OF
mere boys. The invention of the
valve motion to the steam-engine
was made by boy. Watts left the
engine in a very incomplete candi-
ton, from the fact that he had no
way TO open or close the valves,
except by means of levers operated
by the hand. He set up a large
engine at one OF the mines, and q
boy was hired TO work these valves
levers; although this was not hard
work, yet it required his con slant
attention. As be was working
these levers he saw that part OF the
engine moved in the right direction
and at the exact time that he had
to open or close the valves. He
procured strong cord and made
one end fast to the proper part of
the engine, and the other end 10 the
valve lever; the boy had be salts
faction OF seeing the engine move
off with perfect regularity of mo-
tion. a short time after the fore
man came around and found the
hoy playing marbles at the door.
Looking at the engine he soon saw
the ingenuity OF the boy, andsalso
the advantage of so great an inven-
ton. Mr.. Watts then carried out
the boys inventive genius in a
practical form, and made the

steam engine q perfect automatic
working machine. The power
loom is the invention of a farmer
boy who had never seen or heard
of such thing. He whitfield one
out with his jackknife, and after
he had got it all done he, with
great enthusiasm, showed 1t to his
father, who at once kicked it all to
pieces, saying he would have no
bow about him that would spend
his time on such foolish thingF.
The boy gathered up the pieces
and laid them away. Soon after
this his father bound him out as an
apprentice to a blacksmith about
twelve miles from home. The oy
was delighted at the idea Of learn
ing a trade, and he soon found
that his new master was kind and
took lively interest in him. He
had made a loom of what was lett
of the one his father has broken mp,
which he showed to his master.
The blacksmith saw he had no
common boy as an apprentice, and
that the invention was a very val
liable one. He Immediately had q
loom constructed under the super
vision Of the boy; it worked TO
their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture tie looms, the boy to
receive one half the profits. In
about a year the blacksmith wrote
to the boys father that he should be
at his house at a given time, and
should bring with him a wealthy
gentleman who was the inventor of
the celebrated power loom. You
may be able judge of the astonish-
ment at the old home when his son
was presented to him as the inven-
tor, who told him that his loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces but a year be-
fore.

Farm and Home
ANDTsEFUL IMPORTATION.
Fall Wheat

A correspondent asks for lnfor-
nation with reference to putting IN
fall or winter wheat. With this
crop more than any other, perhaps,
the preparation of the land Is one
of the determining influences which
govern the yield of grain. 1t is i'm
portant that the surface soil should
be exceedingly well pulverized and
the land well drained. If the soil
is rich, all right; if not an album
dance OF plant food must be fur
nished, and what is equally to the
pose, this food must be in condition
for immediate use. The wheat
plant is a delicate one which needs
to be assisted in the way suggested
until it gets good start, when it
will grow rapidly.
Many farmers at the north turn
down a clover sod for wheat, others
allow when to follow corn especial
ly if the land was made very rich
for the latter crop. Where the land
is poor the former plan is doubtless
the better one. In any case, the
land for best results must be we'll
filled and supplied with plenty of
available plant food not too far re-
moved from the surface.
The seed may be sown at the rate
of about two bushels per acre broad
cast, or one and forth to one and
a half bushels If drilled The larg-
est number of cultivators through
out the country, according to testi-
mony received at the Agricultural
Department, favor the use of the
drill, though there are circum-
stances when wheat drilled in will
not succeed, in instances of which
Is a rocky or uneven surface
Some of our most progressive farm
ers roll their land fresh before the
drill, solidifying the surface. but
leaving the soil loose underneath.
The best time for seeding winter
wheat remains an open question.
The disposition is in many sections
to SOW rather too early, especially
on strong soil in good condition.
There is considerable danger from
the Hessian fly with early sown
wheat. Losses, on the other hand,
are experienced by too late sowing.
A time should be chosen between
the extremes, getting the seed in
the ground in time to permit a Wig
orous, not rank growth, before the
ground closes Tor the winter. A
good growth, especially Of roots, is
needed to secure the plants against
loss in winter.

Warts.

AS much as warts and cOrns may
be thought to resemble each other.
they are quite different in origin
character and means of cure. A
corn is simply the thickening and
hardening of the scarfskin or cpl
dermis. 1t is always caused by
pressure. And we may here state
that, so absolutely are they thus re-
moved, a protracted period of sick
ness will gradually lift them wholly
out of the flesh. A wart, on the
contrary, belongs to the skin, prop
er-the Very catis-and consists of
an abnormal growth Of one or more
papill9. in which the nerves or
blood vessels terminate. For this
reason while the substance of corn
is as insensible as hat of the finger
nail, the substance of wart is pecul
iarly sensitive beneath the scarf
scin. In most cases, as the equal
lied action of the parts is restored
they go off of themselves.
They can be speedily removed,
by touching them repeatedly with
nitrate of silver, or 10y applying nj
trio acid to their extremites. Care
should be taken not to touch the
adjacent skin. Many superstitous
notions prevail respecting the cure
of warts, among the people. They
have been handed down from the
remotest times when superstitions
had more to do with medical meth
DDS generally than true science. In
the aged, when the cuticle is hard,
the epithencal cells, instead of de-
veloping upward, develop downward
into the tissues, and give rise to
painful tumOrs, which the physi
clan, alone can eradicate. Some.
times "moles" tend to enlarge and
become painful.
A little nitric acid applied to
them few times will arrest the
tendency.

Farmers who have money at com
msnd cannot easily put it in a more
profitable investment than judicious
outlay on their land. a careful
use OF good manure repays the eX-
pendiJure, even during the course
of many years, and draining wet
land is estimated to return from
forty to eighty per cent. on the
yearly cost. In the same way good
stock pays far better than poor;
good fencing, well selected fruit
trees, carefully looked-afJer home
steads, all repay the money land out,
and, besides all that, add immense
ly 10 the comfort of the occupier.

to six times as much raw linseed
oil. After cleaning the parts morn
ing and evening by means OF a
sponge and warm soap-suds, apply
portion of the mixture. The
horse ought not to be used; for so
long as the cause of the injury con
tinues to operate, there can be no

be altered or fixed so as not to

Horses sometimes exhibit slight
lameness Immediately after being
shod, though quite sound before.
Such cases may arise from the shoe
being nailed on too tight, and may
be relieved by removing the shoe
and re-applying it more gently.
This lamcness most frequently oc-
ours in horses with very thin horn,
and Is ascertained by the manner
in which It comes on, and the alb
sence of any other visible causes.
The shoe may have an improper
bearing, pressing severely on spots,
or on the sole or heels; or the heels
or sole may have been pared too

New YOrk's Debtors Prison,

Ludlow Street Jail, in New York, is
In the shape of the letter l., and con-
sists of four tiers of cells opening on
the street sides into wide l. corridor,
and on the courtyard sides into mar
now hall of the same shape. The cor
ridor and hall are abundantly lighted,
and the whole prison is admirably ar
ranged for ventilation. The corridor
floor is laid in tiles. The four ranges OF
cells on the south side are each provided
with balcony where their inmates are
at liberty to take exercise. The cells
which are large and neat, are for the use
of civil prisoners only, and the doors are
left open from six o'clock in the morn
ing to 5:30 in the afternoon. After the
last-named hour civil prisoners are per-
mitted to use candles in their rooms at
their own expense. The cells facing
west and those opening toward the
court are much smaller and less COM
Portable, and are used for the confne-
ment of United States prisoners held on
criminal charges. These are allowed
the liberty of the west corridor and the
hall for two hours in the forenoon and
two in the afternoon. They are not per-
mitted to go to the civil side of the
building, but the imprisoned debtors
may go among them if they choose.
The prison fare consists of coffee and
bread for breakfast; soup, bacon, cab
bage and bread for dinner, and tea and
bread for supper; but civil prisoners are
at liberty to send out and buy anything
they desire except spirituous liquors.
There is no restriction on the use of to-
bacco. At present only three or four of
the prisoners take habitually any other
than the prison fare. There are now
twenty civil and thirty United States
prisoners.

Stay In the Country.

The Western Rural, published at Chi
cago, Ill, in giving advice to young
men not to come 70 the city, says;
Occasionally, and only occasionally,
does the young man from the country
find desirable opening in the city, and
begin signally successful career. The
city is full to OVERLOOKING. There is no
business that is not greatly overdone,
and there is no business which cannot at
any time be supplied with more help
than it needs. There is no position now
filed which cannot be filed with as
much competency as it now is, and at a
much less salary than the present occu-
pant is receiving, almost at a moments
notice. Employers are usually willing
to pay what services are worth, and de-
sire to retain tried and faithful help.
Otherwise there is not man or woman
employed in Chicago to-day who would
not have their salary reduced, or their
place filled by some one else. Times are
now prosperous. Business is at its
noontide of success. Never was more
money made in the marts of trade than
is being made here now; and yet, while
this is true, we have hundreds of young
men who are either working for starva-
ton wages or are wholly idle"
The same is true OF almost every city
IN the land.-Ne0 York Observer.
