Nearly every one has read OF the
Journey of Death, ninety miles wide

Mexico. 1t is plain covered with
grass and delightful to the eye, but
was for some years entirely devoid OF
water. The soil was of peculiar
porus qnality, but would not bold the
rain that fell upon the surface. 1t was
the great bugbear of emigrants traVei'
ing through the southwest, hundreds
of whom, with their cattle, have per-
ished with thirst while within It's
confines Some individual, however,
er went over it prospecting for water
and finally, after expending some
thousands of dollars, succeeded Ill
striking an abundance of water IN
well dug midway OF the PLAIN,
where he made considerable money
supplying emigrants with water
The government afterward bougIh
the well, making it free, paying tn'
owner a very comfortable sum Tor IL
Since that, however. the railroad ma
been built across the plain and TIM

ASHES s-LEACHED AND BLEACHED.
The crops most benefited by uu--
leached ashes. besides grass and all 9TH
er fruit crops. are potatoes, root crops
and Indian corn. and To these crops it
may be applied in the hill or drill at
planting, or dropped by hand near and
upon the plants soon after they come
up. There is some danger of injury to
the seed unless the distribution is very
even, hence the surface application is
usually preferred. Ashes work down
in the soil. Rains wash down their
most valuable constituents, and on their
way they act favorably upon the soil.
and come in contact with the roots of
the plants. They should, therefore, al
ways be applied upon or near the sur
face of the soil.
With leaohed ashes the case is differ.
ent The most soluble parts have all
ready been washed out. They still con-
tain, however, a notable and very vas
riabie quantity of potash. which soon
masses its presence known, and as
ieacbed ashes are usually applied much
more literally than unieached, the re-
spop-e of crops is prompt and satisfac-
tory. They may be economically used
for the same crops. Upon grass they
are spread as tOp-dressing as evenly
as possible at the rate of 80 10 100 BUSH
els to the acre-less upon light soils
than upon heavy. Unleached ashes are
applied to grass and clover in about half

bushels per acre upon sandy or light.

WAITING.

Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away
While the tender cleaning deepens,
And the golden turns to gray.
Watching while the starlight quivers
Brightly in the heaven above;
l am waiting for her coming,
Waiting, watching for my love.
Listening the well-known football
And the voice whose loving tone
Sweetly bids me cease my waiting,
Watching, listening for my own.
Lingering still among the shadows,
AS they deepen on the beach;
Hearts exchange in sacredst illness
Thoughts that would be soiled by spec b.
Thus In perfect love and trusting,
Winged moments pass away;
Till the holy, star-crowDed night Is
Sweet to us as golden day.
And as tenderly the cleaning
Gathers on the brow of day,
God shall keep her, God shall bless her,
When life's golden turns to gray.
