Mechanism on the Farm.
p.ai.lGA Aild fl69T6a

BaAAads saSpU isa3 IhG
A very large proportion of
operations ale purely mechani-
cal. Mechanical skill is neces-
sary in the construction Of a
good stack of hay or grain, as
well as in properly building a
load of hay on a wagon. A
lack Of mechanical skill will
cause a stock of corn to blow
over. Mechanical skill is
also necessary in laying out
land in blowing, and in so gaug-
ing the burrows that the 'land"
will come out even, the uneven
appearance of many fields
showing a total want of it in
those that manage them. The
sides are not even, the ends of
a "land" often show the varia-
ton of a rod or more from a
true line, the burrows are crook
ed in all parts of the field, the
rows Of corn or potatoes are not
straight. and as consequence
many of the hills are injured in
tending the crop. 81
Mechanics who turn farmers
find the knowledge -they-have,
acquired in following their trade
OF the greatest service to them
in all their farming operations.
They have become precise
from long practice. They know
the value of a straight line in
blowing as well as planting. and
have 3. proper regard for the apz
pearsnce d. things. As sacces5
sorry to all this a workshop is a
great auxiliary to the farm. It's
tendency is to make one careful
and precise in the use of tools
and implements of every de-
scription, besides being a good
school room for boys. 1t helps
to develop mechanical ingenui-
ty, which is as valuable to the
farmer as to the machinist.
The more boys handle tools the
more dexterous they become
with farming tools. With a
good workshop profitable en-
ployment may be found during
afarge portion of the winter
and on rainy days at other sea-
sons of the year. To keep
farm with its numerous build !
ings, fences and tools in repair,
requires mechanical skill, which
farmers and their sons may &C
quire if they will but set them
selves about it..------------i

AET The ipportionnent.

The new census apportion-
ment gWill afford members q of
congress an opportunity to bar
ter with each other for the
sacrifice of general to local and
individual interests. The pres
ent number of representatives
in the house is 2e3; but of course
is no necessity for keeping this
number, and its increase will
give some states another mem
Der. Hence, plans have been
made not only on basis of293,
but of 3ooi and of 325, while
some congressman may even
demand $50 members. Be-
tween 2o3 and gas almost every
increase by single member,
and certainly any increased by
five affects one or more States.
Thus each Congressman, in
stantly on the suggestion of any
proposed basis, finds out what
number of population that calls
for and hurriedly divides the
population of his own state by
it. If only a trifing remaineris
left he is satisfied. But If a very
large fraction remains he loudly
cries for an increased total of
representatives, which means a
smaller minimum of population
for auy-district, and SO perhaps
enough to secure his state an
other representative. This is
the exercise in arithmetic. that
congress are now taking. IN.

ject, and gives the results in the
following note otheWilmington
N. c., Star:-Enclosed you will
find samples of paper pulp re-
duced by me from the stalks,
bolls, ETC., of the cotton plant.
There is from IS to 20 per cent
more fibre than ground wood,
whichis used very extensively
by the paper manufacturers for.
both white and MANILA paper.
To-get atthe actual cost of-pro-a
ducing the pulp it will be neces-
sary for one to know from the
growers what expense would be
attached to baling it for ship
ment and cost of freight to Phi
ladelphia, and I would like to
hear from all the growers that
feel interested in this new idea"

A sensation has been created
at Atlanta, Ga, over the fact
that the body of a fourteen-year-
old daughter of a printer named
Bird, is still warm and life-like,
although the child died twelve
days ago. The remains are in
a coffin at the cemetery,
where they have been since
Sunday last. The fact of the
body still being warm was
discovered on Sunday, while
the congregated mourners
were preparing to hold the
funeral exercises. Physicians
arc divided in the opinion as
to whether the child is dead
or not.
