Notes from Aintab.
BY MISS MYRA BARNES.

NAintabs saturday, July 7Ist, 1881.
The Aintab Station spent a sleep
less night owing to the intense heat.
Mr.. MardinF said this morning at
Breakfast that he never remembered
such hot night in all the years he
has been in Turkey. The air was per-
fectly still and seemingly not enough
of it to support fly.
Ordinarily, no matter what the day
has been, the nights are cool and
comfortable, a strong west breeze sets
IA about 7 o'clock in the evening and
sometimes there is one from the north
also.
/ mentioned Mr.. Mardin, and have
just thought that you would wonder
what Marash missionary was doing
here at this season of the year. 1t is
the college commencement week and
all the Marash men except Mr.. Lee
are here. ef
The examinations were held on
Monday and Tuesday, l did not at
tend any of them but heard that they
were pretty fair. ! was having a bad
headache both days and so was much
better off in quiet place than l would
have been straining my ears and exer-
cising my brain to make out the
meaning of their Turkish. Yesterday
l went down to the church to listen
the prize speaking. Nine of the best
speakers in college were selected for
the contest, they all did pretty well.
There were three English speakers,
three Armenian, and three Turkish.
This morning the graduating class
are to exhibit the E eloquence and re-
ceive their diplomas. Several promi.
nent Turks are invited to address
them and other natives. The COVER
nor will be there in all his glory.
Iwould have been glad to see it
but did not think it safe to venture
out in the heat. M
This afternoon they will give a
social in the large hall of the college,
if l 60 / will give you an account
later. 'f 3.ri aon.a na,4.
The Marash people are very cordial
in their invitations to come to Karhan,
but ! know they are very much
crowded there and I could not be
made very comfortable, and then, on
the other hand, l am tolerably comfort
BILE here, and can, if well enough,
study to better advantage, and can
keep my class of women in whom i
am getting very much interested. Last
Sunday Mr.. Christie spoke to the
men and women together and after.
wards as usual ! took my charge into
. room by themselves. There were
forty-seven. They don't always keep
the very best of order, some times
two or three will get to visiting, but
at word they stop.
Last evening all the missionaries
came together here for a sing, Mr..
Montgomery and and Mr.. Christier
have unusually fine voices. We have
not yet received any word from
Boston since our annual meeting. Of
course we are never certain that our
plans can be carried out till we hear
from them.

Old Shoes.

You probably think that ifyou look sharp

will know it again if it ever comes back to
you. But that doesn't at all follow. One OF

boot, or grasp n cast off gaiter while at
your dinner. You don't see how this can
beY Well, we'll tell you. Old shoes are
turned to account by manufacturers in the
following manner: They are cut into very
small pieces, and kept for couple of days
in chloride of sulphur. The effect of this is
to make the leather hard and brittle. Next
the material is withdrawn from the action OF
the chloride of sulphur, washed with water
and dried. When thoroughly dry it is ground
to powder, and mixed with some substance
like glue or gum, that causes it to adhere to-
Egether. 1t is then pressed into molds and
shaped into buttons, combs, knife handles
etc. So you see how it may come to pass
that you will comb your hair with a boot and
fasten your clothes with a slipper

Sowing Seed Before Rain.

The widely prevailing drought of the pre-
sent season has brought the question to many
farmers whether it is best to SOW seed in
dry soil and wait for rain to sprout it, or to
defer the sowing until rains have actually
rendered the ground sufficiently moist A
proper answer to the question is of great i'm
portance, and on it depends much ofthe sue
cess of the fall sowing ofwinter grain. Guilt
vators vary widely in opinion on the subject,
for the simple reason that results vary as
widely with the controlling conditions, and
no cast-iron rules can be adopted for all cir
cumstances. Nevertheless, as a prevailing
rule, seeds terminate better when buried in
a moist than in hard, dry, crumbling SOIL
wet afterwards with copious rains.
When soils which contain any considerable
portion of clay, and in fact any soil which
does not crumble to powder when plowed
and narrowed in time of severe drought, they
consist largely of hard Jumps of various Sizes
from that Of a hens egg down to mere grains.
When seed, grain of wheat for instance,
is buried and surrounded with these Jumps
of soil, they touch the seed only ON very
few points, the rest of its surface being vacant
interstices After being thus deposited in
the soil, the whole is wet with rains, which
soon drains off through the crevices in the
soil without bringing it long enough more
closely into contact with the seed than be-
fore, which is left dry again and does not grow.
Frequent and partial failure in such instance
is common result. But before the soil has
become dry again, subject it to the work of
the harrow or drill. 1t is then soft. yields to
the slight pressure, encases the seed and
keeps it moist till termination is secured
The great advantage of some pressure, to
crowd the soil against the seed, is Obvious
If the soil is hard from dryness, that pressure
may be quite strong and induced by the use
ofthe roller. If after rain, the pressure of
the harrow may be quite sufficient. The care
full observation and judgment of the farmer
must be brought into use. The advantage
of the pressure of the foot in planting garden
seeds is well KNOWN Country Gentleman,

Trees in Titled Fields.

In many summer fallows where there was
moisture enough to bring the wheat up, there
will be found large circles of bare ground
around trees standing in the field, while the
remainder will be bright green. These cir.
Giles show how wide an area these tree roots
occupy. | think that these bare spots will
teach many farmers a lesson as to the I'M
profitableness of keeping many ornamental
but otherwise useless trees in fields intended
for tillage. One or two for ornament may
sometime be allowable, though to my view
the unsighty, poverty stricken acres around
them detract more from the beauty of the
landscape than most trees can add to it,
No reasonable amount ofmanuring will bring
up such places to the average in seasons like
this. 1t is not fertility but moisture that the
soil lacks, and the more manure is applied,
the more vigorously the tree grows and the
drer the soil becomes.
have often seen good, bright wheat under
trees, and in very wet seasons there might
be an advantage in drying undrained SOIL
But four seasons in five wheat is pinched, and
the heads shortened by drought in June, as
the ear and grain are forming, and at such
times every atom of moisture taken up by
the roots decreases the crop. 1t is worse still
with corn and potatoes, which are usually
worthless under the best care near trees. The
losses from trees in cultivated fields, are on
most farms, much heavier than the State and
local taxes All farmers will admit this
Those who are not beginning to rid their
fields of these Sometimes not very ornamental
nuisances, refrain, not from love of the beauti-
full, but from what in New England house
wife phrase would be called pure shiftless-
ness" A beautiful landscape depends more
upon good farming than aught else, and the
heavy losses from trees, standing in cultvat-
ed fields are a serious obstacle to improved
farming. If many farmers would root out
useless trees, they would find several acres of
excellent land, and be enabled with the pro-
ceeds to convert their farms into garden
They know this, and only the lack of suffi-
cient help prevents them from acting on this
knowledge Country Gentleman

GenHemen: have used your Slicated Phosphate
Tor the last four years upon my Egyptian Sweet
Corn, Trophy Tomatoes, Lima Beans and Pota-
toes and can truly say have never found any
other Phosphate to equal it.
1t produces the largest crops, makes frmer fruit
and of better flavor, than any other kind,
On account of its fine mechanical condition, alb
sence OF moisture and odor it is easily distributed
and pleasant to handle.

yield. Yours, truly,

Mr. JOHN +. MARsHALL:
Dear Sir-This is TO certify that have used the
Popplein Slicated Phosphate bought of YOU for
two years past on my entire range of truck and
the results have been highly satisfactory 1t is
decidedly the best fertilizer ever used, and
have used several standard brands. have tested
II beside good compost from my hen-house, and
lind where used the Popplein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, and the fruit is of superior quail
ty. Where used it on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put. Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
pant or seed rms nave tried to perfection.

Gentlemen-l have used your Fertilizer for four

have found it especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar BEES, and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that in strong
competition, received six first premiums at the

SLUMBER SONG,

SLUMBER SONG.
In the winged cradle of sleep lay
My darling gently down;
Kissed and closed are his eyes of gray,
Under his curls' bright crown.
Where. oh !. where will he fly and float,
In the.winged cradle.of sleep?
Whom will he meet in the worlds remote,
While he slumbers soft and deep?
Warm and sweet as white blush-rose,
His small hand lies in mine;
But cannot follow him.where he goes,
And he gives no word or sign.
Keep him safe, We heavenly powers,
In dreamland vast and dim
Let no ill through the nights long hours,
Come nigh to trouble him.
Give him back, when the dawn shall break
With his matchless baby charms,
with his love and his beauty all awake.
Into my happy arms.
