and this fact was known to Mr.. Randall
when he made the appointment.
The record he has made in the Congress
of the United States during the four years
he has served his people is that of faith
full, earnest, energetic, and capable Repre-
sentative, and it has been through his un-
firing efforts in behalf of the interests of
his District, that several greatly needed
appropriations have been secured for the
navigable streams of Northeast Mississip-
pi. While we have not the space in this
hasty sketch to point out all the useful leg

A nation prospers in proportion
to the work its people do. Intel
ligent men do better work than
dullards. Trained and skilled men
do better work than clumsy and
awkward ones, and the more any
man knows of the objects and
methods of his work, and of the
work of all aSs thoseno cooperate
with him, the ess- re- likely he A to
do do his own part well, and SO
as to make it exactly fit into and
forna one with the work done by
his neighbors. An intelligent com
munity of workmen will waste
less in time and material, and give
a higher value as well as quality
and durability to all their work,
than ignorant, unrehned, and i'll
educated men.

the attendance was large, and in
nearly every county he reorgan-

many farmers who had lost interest
or faith in the movement to return
and unite with their brother farm

build up the Order, and make it
tnat power which the best interests

should be.
But it is not in reorganIzing dor

that this splendid campaign of Wor-
thy Master Darden has been fruit~
iui IN its results and far-reaching in
Its influence. He has discussed po-
hucaI and business questions-ques

terest of Agriculture-from the far-
mers standpoint, and he discussed
them ably and fearlessIy, and with
force and eloquence that will
arouse the farmers CT Mississippi to

One good result of the training that
farmers get in the Grange is seen in the
fact. that they preserve their comPosure
of politics that now distracts the people
and paralyzes business. While large
portion of the people surrender them
selves to party, to run after flag raislngs
and political gatherings, these men are at
home quietly attending to the business OF
their farms. If every farmer would do
this, politicians would not be SO plenty.
Parties would not then control the people,
but the people would control parties.

EXTRAORDINARY HEN SToRY.-M

EXTRAORDINARY HEN STORY.-Mr.
James A. Herring, living near Canaan,
Shelby township, Jefferson county, In
diana, has hen that laid twenty eggs
in five days. The facts of the case
are these: About one year ago Mr.. Her
ring determined to get better stock
of1ayers than he had He met young
man named Highly taking a basket of
eggs to market. He purchased three
settings of the eggs. Highly said the
eggs were from CreIy hens. He took
them and set them and raised eighteen
chickens. Five ROSTERS and thirteen
pullets. The roosters were all white,
the pullets were some of them white,
some grey and some yellow and are very
small chickens, excepting this one hen.
She is an uncommon tall, lengthy her,
and is of an ash color About the mid
die of April some of the family left the
meat house door open. This hen slip
ped in, made her rest and laid one egg.
She watched her chance for four or FIVE
days land going and would lay SO.
Mrs H. concluded she would
break her from the meat house, so when
she would open the door the hen would
slip In and she would scare her out and
shut the door. About the 25th of the
month Mr.. III. noticed something wrong
with the hen; she could hardly walk;
she seemed broken down, and her tail
would drag on the ground. Mr.. H,
said to his wife that he expected the
boys had thrown at her and hurt her.
Mrs. II. said no; that she expected she
had hurt her when she scared her ont
of the meat house. So the next day
she was great deal better, and would
walk around the house time, after time
until she was about given out. So the
next morning she commenced her daily
walk around the meat house, and pant
as though she was almost exhausted,
So Mrs II. concluded she would let her
In. She went on the nest at 7 o'clock
and came off ut 3 o'clock, and had laid

AGRICULTURAL.

EFFECTS OF DEEP FLOWING
Years ago | plowed a field that had
been nearly exhausted by long crop
ping. The soil was clay loan with
fair drainage. 1t was plowed to the
beam, bringing up five or six inches
of raw soil, which had not seen the
light since deposited by glacial action,
and which changed the appearance of
the field, displaying variety of colors,
with an increased friability of
the soil, that made it seem
like an ash field. The crop put upon
it (without manure) was failure.
1t was some better the next year and
continued to increase in productive
ness until, in few years, it surpassed
its former fruitfulness, without any
manure at all, the crops being grain
and the land yearly plowed and to the
same depth. 1t was then seeded down
to timothy and clover yielding heavy
crop of clover with plaster) and
superior pasture for many years, other
grasses and white clover working in
and thickening the set. The field is
hill side facing the south and seems
permanently improved.
Since then / have met with similar
cases. On level land, understanding
should precede the deepening of clay
soil, where the subsoil tardily parts
with its water. Before blowing, it
would be good plan to fine the top
soil with cuJtivator and harrow.
Thus turned down, aired and enriched
(by working) and warm, would have
a good effect on the crude earth below.
l have a good instance of the benefit
oftu'ning offwater. Last fall / forked
up a spot of ground that had never
been plowed, and had lain unoccupied
save by a few weeds and scant grasses,
for over fifty years. It was mostly
composed of clay and an open ditch
cut few years ago to carry off the hill
water, drained it, giving a chance for
the fresh rain water to pass through,
warming, airing and enriching it thus
correcting largely its raw character.
1t worked up mellow. In the spring,
another forking was given it, followed
in a few weeks by still another, and
manure was applied and mixed with
surface soil. Sweet corn and tomatoes
we're planted, and the growth that fol-
lowed was astonishing; no better yield
have | ever seen. The immediate sue
cess is chiefly owing to the ditch. In
connection with ditching, subsoiIing is
an advantage, as you suggest, tavoring
farther the admission of air and warmth
and thus in measure correcting the
under soil before it is brought up, and
allowing deeper blowing at a time, so
that the work of reclamation is sooner
acce mplished.-Cor Country Gentle
