will be constructed as rapidly as possible.

Yesterday morning Tom Zeibach opened
. dozen sets of the game of fifteen and they
were taken about as fast as he could hand
them out. He has sent an order for a gross
and NAV follow it up with a further order
for q car load if the excitement continues.
For q simple device Fifteen" is having a
wonderful run all over the country. The
outfit consists of fifteen square and fiat
blocks, numbered from one to fifteen. They
are placed in a square box just large enough
TO contain them and leave the space of one
block to spare, with the numbers mixed up
just as they happen to come. The trick is
to place these numbers in regular order
without lifting any of the blocks out Of the
box. Sometimes it can be done in a few
minutes and again it takes hours to accom-.
plish the task. The longer the game lasts,
the more absorbed the victim becomes.
There is a prospect that our insane hospital
will have to be enlarged.
Burns, the most inexperienced member Of
the two wheeled club, went down on the
levee this morning to exercise his bicycle
1t had been standing in the stable for sever
al days and felt unusually frisky, but Burns
had confidence in his restraining powers
aud allowed that he was q match for the
machine. The eyer watchful reporter vas
passing that way a few hours after the occur
renee aud his attention was attracted by
singular looking furrow plowed up along
side the railroad for two or three rods
Gravel stones had been thrown right and
left and ayawning cash was torn in the turf
The unanimous conclusion of the reporter
was that q train of cars had run off the
track, but his subsequent Investigations re-
vealed the fact that Burns had been pushing
his nose along the ground at the rate of six
tv miles an hour. 1t was the old, old story
When sailing along under full Roadway the
bicycle had Kicked up behind and Burns
had concluded to go on ahead a little ways
without the machine. 1t would have been
better for him had he travelled on foot and
in an upright position, but he seemed to
prefer the horizontal attitude and we sup
pose he has a right to slide on bis nose il
he wants to. Wsmake these explanations
because they will save Burns a great deal OF
annoyance. The public will now know
withous asking him what's the matter with
that proboscis.

Stirring the Soil.

Now is a favorable time to discusst the
subject Of Stirring the soil deep and, Of
ten In time OF severe drought, to benefit
the crops. Most of our professional
farmers are of the opinion thatdeep and
frequent stirring Of Die soil, in time ofea
sharp drought tends to lessen the amount
of moisture in the soil. From personal
application of the hoe the past season, 1
have come to different conclusion. l
find that where l had used the hoe the
most frequently, the ground is the soft,
est, and plants ARE the best and mature
better than where the ground is but sell
dom worked over with the hoe.
This brings to mind when was boy
at home on my fathers farm, pious
old neighbor, who, for several years in
succession, on the same piece of ground,
without inannrea raised a very large
crop of corn, and it was aeomnon re-
mark with the people: "What splendid
corn Mr.. 5. most always has on that
ground;" but the good old man was al
ways at work with his hoe, stirring the
ground, and often to be heard praying
in his field of corn. My mother told me
that his praying, in his corn made it
grow, but. (not Wishing ITO detract any
thing from the efficacy of prayer,) have
come to the conclusion that the frequent
stirring of the soil had very much to do
with the yield of corn.
am aware that the argument is used
that frequent stirring of the earth less
ems the amount of moisture, and, conse-
quently, is an injury to the plants grown
in the soil in time of drought. l believe
this argument is based on the fact that
we stir hay, grain, and all substances,
to lessen the amount of moisture, for
preservation, but this is not, in my opin-
ion, correct comparison, for we stir
the ground and compost heap to hasten
decomposition, and, by exposure, better
fitit 10 Teceiveand retain the (rain and
moisture from the atmosphere, and more
readily convey it to the roots of the
plants. When the farmer is driven from
his field of corn or potatoes, when hoe
ing, by smart shower of rain, he saws
to his man, "won't it soak in good
where we hoed last?' That, in nv
opinion, is the fact in the case. The
new hoed field will take in very much
more of the rainfall and dew, at night,
than the crusted field. -
The man who feeds the grain into the
threshing machine, vets a piece OF
sponge and places it over his mouth and
nose, that he may breathe the easier.
The earth is sponge, and the plants,
and the corn, and the grain, and every
green thing isl breathing. through it.
You compress the ispongeF on the mouth
and nose of the man at the machine,
and you kill the man; you compress the
earth TO the plants, and you destroy
their vitality. --NesC England Farmer.

making payment he will name the
very uncertain ene--ssJust- after hars.
vest" One of the leading causes of
failures among country merchants is the
unreliability of their patrons, who are
chiefly farmers, to pay their bills at
definite times. This the merchant obi
gates himself to do. Buff his custom
ers fail to pay him he is at the mercy of
his city creditors. Many farmers con-
strue the words "Just after harvest y to
mean almost any thing they like. They
may mean after grain is harvested and
threshed, after corn is gathered, husked,
and shelled, or after the prices offered
for these articles meet their views.
They will insist that they should not be
obliged ~te~s sch their crops, which they
have worked so hard to raise, al q sacri-
flee, and they seemingly care little about
the sacrifices others are obligedsto make
on their account.
Correct business habits are as impor-
tant to farmers, in proportion to the
magnitude of their operations. as they
are to merchants, manufacturers and
contractors. Not only their success, but
the success of the persons with whom
they have dealings, depend on them.
Every person who has business !transac-
tions of any kind should meet obligations
with promtness. Unless this lis done
infinite trouble is caused all parties con-
cerned. Good business habits are ele-
ments of success to the farmer, and as
many fail for want of them as from any
cause. Prompt payments on the part of
farmers tend to keep business moving in
the neighborhood where they Eve, and
assist in the business prosperity of the
entire country. The high prices farmers
pay, not only for family supplies, but
for everything they require in their
places, from lightning todFain-tile,
are largely due to the various iniquities
connected with the credit system, and to
the failure, on one pretense or another,
to meet obligations when they are due

A SCHEME of African exploration is
said to be under consideration in Portu-

probably result in the achievement of
the most important geographical work.
1t is proposed that two expeditions
should start simultaneously from the
Portuguese possessions on the east and
west coasts of Africa, and, after found
ing series of scientific and commercial
stations along their line of route, meet
at some point in the interior.

THE Northeastern Latnlbernaqn men

important results for lumbermcn ard

pressed at little cost into space which
will much reduce the cost of their trans

sawdust an eight penny nail was driver
so firmly that it broke in the attempt to

able. Three peckslof bran were COM
pressed into roll six inches long by six
inches in diameter, capable of enduring
much handling, yet easily broken up by

bring sawdust largely into use for bed

The Prairie Farmer gives the follow
ing recipe for removing a film on a
horses eye: Dissolve four grains OF
nitrate of silver in four noes of dis.
titled water, and apply, by means of
camePs hair pencil, portion between
the eyelids, morning and evening. If,
however, this so-called film consists of a
well-defined scar after q wound on the
surface OF the eye-ball, or if the film is
over half ayear's standing, there can be
but small hopes of its removal. A grad
ual diminution or disappearance, would,
in durable case, begin between the
second and fifth week after treatment
has begun. The above solution may be
used alternately with the following, so
that every other week one Of sthe two
remedies is used: Take halEa drachm
of sulphate of zinc, one 3drachm of
diacetate of lead, and twenty ounces of
soft water; mix. Open the eyelids gent

sponge, apply a portion twice daily.
