1t is sometimes difficult to decide
upon the course to be pursued under
given circumstances. A man makes
Il change in his business, and difficult
ties unlocked for, or only partially
investigated arise. He wishes to
combat them in the right direction.
The experience of others may be
worth much to him in his endeavors
to avoid Il mistake. There are vari-
Gus methods of obtaining this expe-
1ience; but the most expeditions, the
most extended and satisfactory meth
cd, is through the newspapers that
are devoted to agriculture, and the
n. =. FARMER should be the medium
of the farmers in this Great North
west, or a great portion of it at least.
let every farmer give his experience,
ask questions for the mutual benefit
of all who are interested in tilling the
soil. l do not intend this little gun
to be wholly discharged at the farm
ers. Give us Il little more Of this
kind of reading in the editorial col
umns: even if it is taken from your
exchanges. for I know many poor
settler that takes no other newspaper
than the n. p. FARMER. Although
my experience is very limited, I will
give my mite.
There was considerable complaint
OF Il failure in the crop of cucumbers
lust summer. I raised splendid
crop, and the following is the method
Of culture: Dig hole two feet
square and fourteen inches deep; put
ina layer of well rotted manure,
about two inches deep, then Il layer
Of soil about the same depth: and re-
peat this until within about two
inches of the top Of the surface, than
ill with well pulverised soil, and
plant the seed. When the vines
have made few leaves, cut the ends
off to make them branch out. Three
vines in a hill is enough. Hills
should be five feet apart, and kept
free from weeds, this I think is of
great Importance to any crop.

DR.. J. 4. Ames, NJ. n. r. r. Right

day, and made US call. He kindly
furnished us with few items of the
doings of the Minnesota Northern
railroad. The survey leaves the N.
P. at the northeast corner of section
2, town of Compton, crosses Deer
Creek near A. Stillman's place, and
will strike Pease Prairie at or near
Paulson's store. There has been some
apprehension as to which side of East
Battle Lake the road would run, but
the Doctor informs us it will run on
the south Of the lake. J. B. Alexan-
der, chief engineer, and party are
pushing head at the rate of two miles
per day. They are all mounted on
snow shoes, their only obsticle being
snow blindness, which the party are
afflicted with7-one man|having had to
quit them on account Of it. Ties are
being furnished along the route in
large quantities. DIR. Ames' address
will be Wadena for the present.
Our attention was called to the fol-
lowing law, taken from the supple
ment of last week, which will be
interesting to our readers, for which
we give it special prominence:
AN ACT to provide for registering and
payment of interest on town orders.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of
Minnesota.
Section I. That each and every
town treasurer in this State shall keep
Il suitable book, to be provided at the

dorsed by such treasurer by putting
upon the back of the same 1.-THE words:
mot paid for want of funds,' giving
the date Of such endorsement, sign
ing the same as town treasurer, which
orders when SO endorsed shall bear

Wild Men.

sents many features strikingly in
common with man, and one which
Button saw and studied is' described
as being OF sweet temper, having
the instinct &c sit at the table and
behave himself with perfect propri-
ETY.. More than one Instance is
recorded OF their having learned to
play few notes on a f1ute--whence
no doubt, Pans celebrated pipes
and. although they do not appear
ever to have learned to articulate
words, 1'isson, who dissected one,
declared it to possess perfect vocal
organs, exactly corresponding to
our own. Button s account of the
creature would seem to indicate
that, although he classes him with
the apes, he was particularly struck
with his human qualities: "He
has no tail; his arms, hands, fingers
and mails, are like our own; he al
ways walks erect; be has features
very similar to those of a man, with
ears of the same shape, hair upon
head, a beard upon his chin, and
skin neither more or less hairy
than man possesses in state OF ma
tnre. The Inhabitants, therefore,
of his country have not hesitated
to associate him with the human
race under the name of orang-ou-
tang, or "wild man." Looking only
at his face, one might regard the
orang-outang either as the first cl
apes or the last of men; because
with the exception of a soul, he
lacks nothing that we have, and be-
cause in body he differs less from
man than from any other animals

Prohibition News.

The following circular of the ceE-
tFal committee Of the prohibitory li-
quor law convention has just been
issued, signed by Rev. DR.. Thos. E.
Skinner. chairman
Eettoao- Citizens "A kind Providence
has smiled upon the efforts of the
late convention aud its labors. The
Legislature was obedient to the voice
OF its petitioners. A prohibitory
liquor law was passed, which is to be
submitted to the people in August
for ratification.
SO far, this is great victory. But
In order to make it complete, much
labor, with untiripg zeal, must be put
forth bv all who desire the abatement
of drunkenness and crime In North
Carolina.
To this end the central committee
of the late prohihitery convention
have instructed the chairman to issue
this call for another Convention, to
meet in the city of Raleigh, on the
9th April Wednesday, at p. m.
1t is greatly desired that every
county in the State should be ably
represented by at least two delegates
or more, if they wish to come.
We believe that large majority
of the voters of the State desire tho
ratification of the law. II you can
influence your county commissioners
TO refuse license until after the 'elec-
ton, so that wc can have a fair and
sober vote, the result will be victory
beyond the most sanguine eKpecta-
tions.
The object Of the convention will
he to organize every county in tho
State for the campaign, which, on both
sides, will be vigorous. Our friends
arc ready for the contest, and already
many influential and able citizeha
have offered their services as can
vassers before the people.
Several able speakers will deliver
addresses before the convention in
April, aud you must see to it that
Your county is represented. Hold
county and township mass-meetings
and address the people, and urge
them 10 elect their representatives,
and supply them with credentials and
pay their expenses if necessary.
We want the largest and ablest
convention ever assembled in the
State. The cause IS worthy Of it, and
f God and the people will favor the
work. Efforts will be made TO supply,
as far as possible homes for the dele
gates.
The colored people will be largely
represented in the convention ant
heartily welcomed.

The Year.

The Egyptians, it is said, were the
first who fixed the length Of the year.
The Roman year was introduced by
Romulus, 73S p. c., and it was COR
rected by Numa, 7l3 B. c., and again
by julius Caesar, 40 ;B. c., who fixed
tue solar year as being 365 days 6
hours. This was denominated the
Julian Style, and prevailed generally
throughout the Christian world till
the time of Popa Gregory XIII.
The calendar of Julius Caesar was
defective in this particular, that the
solar year consisted OF 3G5 days 5
hours and 49 minutes, and not Of
3G5 days hours. This difference at
The time of Gregory XIII. had amoun
ted to 10 entire days. To obviate this
error Gregory ordained in 1892 that
that year should consist of 365 days
only and in I751 it was ordered to
be so used in England and the next
year II days were left out, the Sd OF
September, 1852, being reckoncd as
tue 14th. so as to make it agree with
the Gregory calendar. The Russians
still adhere TO the Julian calendar
(called now Old Style), which is II
days behind the reckoning OF the
Gre9orian.

A New RAILWAY SCHEME.-A
dispatch from Fayetteville, N. c., TO
the New Yo k Y9rald SAYS: "Qui:e
ripple of excitement was created
here Friday by the appearance on our
streets of Mr.. l.. w. Humphrey. q
former railroad president in this
State, who was understood to repre-
sent Jay Could, and was said to be
negotiating for the purchase of the
Fayetteville and Florence Railroad.
Rumor says that Gould proposes to
build road from Norfolk, Va, via
Fayetteville to Florence. Should such
road be consummateu it is said this
would give Gould the shortest and
most direct through railroad route
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, which
line run through the whole cotton belt,
with direct outlet to Europe at Nor
folk. There is charter for the Fay
etteville and Norfolk Railroad, grad
ing on which was done eight or nine
years ago from Fayetteville to Shoe
Heel, on the Carolina Central road.
Mr.. McKealhan, OF this city, is the
president of the road. There is also
a charter for road from Fayetteville
to Goldsboro', end another from
thence to the Virginia State line in
the direction of and in an airline
with Norfolk. These ;twe charters
we're consolidated by the North Caro-
lima Legislature last winter. Mr..
Humphrey says that money has been
raised to build the road from Florence
to the Virginia liae, but whether he
really represents Gould or has sue
ceeded in his negotiations las not
been divulged.'
