the STOCK MARKET.

The San Francisco Stock Report OF

''Nxw YORK. August 23.-Ths Epen.

to New York from San Francisco to the
effect that private advices from the Com

Trustworthy sources. indicate that the
prospects Of the great lode are more
highly favorable than they have been
for years, and all expect that the period
OF depression has passed to give way to
an era Of sound prosperity
The advance in mining share prices ID
largely attributable to orders from the
East. Tho Post shows the cause nf
these orders. Eastern people IL rush

Weeks ago We said that an advance In

the situation wal based on the heavy
influx OF orders from the East. We
knew, for instance, that n commits

OF Union Con. iasids Of two months and
was still in the market for the stock.
We knew that such a persistent demand
would strengthen the market without
any aid from the mines. That Eastern

PUT AWAY Your TooLs.-There are
various waye in which farmers fail to econo-
mize. Among Others, they never take care of
the implements used on the farm. The axe is
LETT on the groundat the woodpile, the reaper
graces an apple tree in the front ward, the
wagon and cart stand exposed to sunshine and
rain, and such is the way all the agricultural
implements are neglected and left to exposure
and ruin. If cheap paint is used on wagons,
plows, etc, no moisture would get into the
cracks of the wood and bring about decay
Farmer, build youa tool house it will cost
you but little Gather your plows, hoes,
spades, harrows, ETC., clean them nicely; paint
all the wood work, then mix six pounds of
fresh mot saltetD lard and two of rosin, and
when you are through using the tool, give it
Il coat of this mixture. If this is done the
tools will last longer and be better

There is scarcely farmer who does not
know how useful is II dressing OF plaster or
gypsum to land bearing clover.
Plaster is sulplate of lime in combina-
lion with water, consisting of 324 per cent.
OF lime, 49, per cent. of sulphuric acid, and
II per cent. of water not absorbed but com
blhed us water of crystalliZation. When raw
gypsum is burned or heated to about 100 deg.
above the boiling point this water is driven
on as steam, the particles of gypsum fall
apart INTO powder, the particles being forced
asunder by the expansive steam and if the
gypsum is ground into powder, this boils and
bubbles by the escape of the steam from the
contained water. After the water has thus
been driven off the gypsum becomes the or
binary plaster of Paris, so called because it
was llrst used for hard finishing walls, for
coriiices OF rooms, cements Of various kinds
ana rs well known from its property of set
ting or becoming hard when mixed with
water This property of setting is derived
SIMPLY from its reconciliation with water
from which twas separated by heat at he first
and It's return to solid condition. Now, it
Is evident that while in a raw state and al
ready holding in combination all the water
possible, it cannot absorb any more; nor can
u part with its water to the soil, because TO
do this it would require heat of 300 deg, or
much more than that of boiling water, which
is but 212 deg.
The simple truth Of the matter is that sui
phate of lime, in its combined state, is Il con
stituent of many plants, but of clover especi-
claliy that lime and sulphuric acid, separately,
are found in nearly all, if not all, plants in
some proportion; that gypsum, being II sui
plate of lime, and containing both lime and
sulphuric acid, is really needed food for
vegetation, but especially so for clover, for
which it is most necessary nutriment. As
q plant thrives best when it is well supplied
with proper food at the right time, and as the
right time is when it is young and needs to
grow vigorously it follows that liberal dress
ing OF gypsum upon young clover will be
found extremely beneficial. That it acts with
greater effect in rainy weather is due to tie fact
that it is soluble only in four hundred times
its bulk of water, and that considerable rain
is, therefore, needed to make it ready for alb
sorption by the roots ofthe clover Its rapid
action is seen by the almost immediate deepen
ing OF color of the vegetation and the more
apparent vigor Off growth
The quantity usually applied is one hun
dred pounds per acre, but this is not suf-
ticient Tor full effect. 1T cheap and a full
dose can well be afforded.

Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon In haloS hid her head,
The boding shepherd heaved sigh,
For see, rainbow spans the sky;
The walls are damp, the bitches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernell
The squalid toads at dusk were seen
Slowly crawling DER the green.
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh;
Hank how the chairs and tables crack,
Old Betty's joints are on the rack,
And see yon rocks, how odd their flight,
They initiate the gliding kite,
Or seem precipitate to fall,
As If they felt the piercing ball;
How restless are the snorting swine,
The busy fly disturbs the kline.
Low DER the grass the swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how loud she sings,
Puss on the hearth with velvet paws
sits wiping DER her whisker'd jaws
Twill surely rain, / see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
