Petitions for the stoppage of the scandal
and dangers of the gambling tables at Mona
co have been drawn up for presentation to
the French Legislature. One is signed by
the inhabitants of the coast, foreign resi-
dents, and visitors, including influential per-
sons who have heretofore been active in their
war on the institution. The other is signed
by about 4, 900 persons, mostly Frenchmen,
among whom are all the Catholic priests of
Mentone and the chief traders of Nice. It is
held that Monaco would benefit by suppress
sion, and Ems and Wiesbaden are cited to
show this. Since the tables were abolished
at these places there has been great increase
i'll prosperity.
The impression that the northeastern coast
of the American continent is slowly rising
the estimate of the rate being over foot
and perhaps as much as three feet in IA CEN
tury-has recently been controverted by EN-
inent scientific authorities, including DIR.
Mitchell of the Coast Survey, who states.that
the salt marshes are STILL as they were i'll the
time of the early explorers, at ordinary high
water level and that the rocks on our coast
long notorious as dangerous to navigation,
have not risen since they were first discoy-
cred But eastward of longitude Ga 49,, and

present themselves, the depth appearing to
be at some points less and at other points

Seeding to Clover.

Our best success has been in scatter
ing the seed over growing wheat, on q
coel morning early in April, when ar
inch depth of frost opens the ground in
cracks into which the seed falls and is
lightly covered by the thawing earth
Both this and the wheat, but especially
the clover, are usually benefited by a
broadcast sowing of ground plaster in
MAY. So marked is this sometimes, that
one can write his name in large letters
with plaster sowing, and the letters will
be distinctly visible in the more luxuri-
Gus green, when the clover plants, at
first protected from the sun by the
wheat plants, have a chance for full
growth, after the wheat is cut. The ex-
perience of many who make much clio
yer is, that a good catch is most certain,
if the seed is not sown until the soil is
warm and mellow. The clover starts
into growth at once and strong planls
are quickly obtained. The chief danger
of delay is that the still feebly rooted
plants may be caught by dry, hot wealth
er and killed. While plaster is good
top-dressing for clover on most soils, if
ones own experience or that of his near
neighbors does not indicate this, other
light top-dressings may be useful-some
soluble fertilizer, as superphosphate or
muriate of potash Glover responds to
any attentions of this kind, and makes q
good return IN the mass of foliage and
rich material it gathers from soil and
air-material which, when plowed in.
richly prepares the soil for other crops.

secret about it, though those travelling
grafters who go about the country. would
make one think so. The various works
on fruit culture describe the operation
those who have the back volumes will
find it described in April, 1877. and that
number can be purchased separately at
this office. Crafts can be had by mail
from any of the leading nurseries. Hav-
ing the stock (the old tree,) and the
gratis, the work may be done without
other tools than those at hand. The
wound must be covered with grating
wax, directions for making which are
given in the books and in the paper re-
ferred to- If any branches Of fruit trees
have been brokeR by storms or by the
weight of snow, saw off the stub that
may be left close to the trunk or to the
branch from which it starts, and cover
the wound with paint, unless grating
wax is at hand There are many places
about the farm, especially near the barns
and Out-buildings where fruit tree may
be planted; such a tree may often be of
of use in affording shade to the poultry
house, ice house, or dairy building, and
at the same time afford acceptable fruit.
Peach trees may occupy such places

THE "whirligig of time" is constantly
bringing about revolutions in popular
tastes, and in the choice of occupations
and pursuits. The most popular busi-
ness in this country just now, by all
odds, is farming In the years follow
ing the war the general appreciation of
farming was at low ebb, and there was
constsnt hegira OF farmers boys to the
cities and centres of population. They
were ready TO do anything rather than
hold the plow. But the tendency at this
time is just as strongly the other way.
The farm stands high above the Office,
the factory or the counting house IN
public esteem, and there is more inquiry
for good farms than for a number of
years past. 1t is safe to say that there
are millions of people in American cities
to-day who wo uld exchange their busi-
ness for farms of average value, without
hesitation. 1t is not necessary to enter
into discussian of the reasons for this
state of things. When farmers are pros
porous the country is prosperous, and
thinking men are not slow to realize the
relation of agriculture to the era of
thrift weare now enjoying.-[Stockman

men had got down some eight or ten
feet further when they came to solid
rock which extends almost across the
entire bottom of the well. Just along
the edge of this rock the tools struck a
cavity, apparently under the rock, from
which rushed strong current of air,
and through which could be heard deep

rushing stream of water. A stick sew

moved about in many directions freely,
showing that the cavity is quite extern

Test All Seeds Now-Important.

No one can, by merely looking at them
positively tell whether any particular
lots of field, garden, or flower seeds have
or have not sufficient vitality of germ to
start into vigorous growth. Yet it is a
severe loss, often disastrous one, to go
through with all the labor and expense
of preparation and planting or sowing,
and find too late that the crop is lost be-
cause the seeds are defective. All this
risk can be saved by few minutes time
all told, in making 3 preliminary test,
and it should be done now, before the
seed is wanted, and in time to get other
seed if necessary. While there are al
ways circumstances affecting the vitality
of seeds (often unobserved). the remark
able season of 1881, and the unusual
past winter weather have been likely to
somewhat affect almost all kinds of
seeds. They may not have matured the
germ; it may have been destroyed by
heat or moisture; minute insects may
have, unobserved, punctured or eaten
out the vital part of considerable per-
centage.
SIMPLE TEsT.-Select from the whole
mass of the seed, 100, or so, or even 10
seeds, that will be fair sample of all.
For larger seeds, as wheat, corn, oats,
peas, etc., take thin, tough sod, and
scatter the seeds upon the earth side.
Put upon the seeds another similar sod,
earth side down. Set this double sod by
the warm side of the house or other
building, or of tight fence, mOistening
it occasionally as needed. If very cold,
cover, or remove to the kitchen or cellar
at night. The upper sod can be lifted
for observation when desirable. The
swelling and starting of the seeds will
in few days, according to the kind,
tell what percentage of them will grow.
"A box of earth will answer instead of
sods, both for large and small seeds
Small seeds of vegetables or flowers, and
even larger ones. may be put into moist
cotton, to be kept slightly moist and
placed in the sun or in light warm
room. For small quantities of valuable
flower seeds and the like, half dozen
will suffice for trial test--With any
seed, for field or garden, however good,
it is always very desirable and useful
to knew exactly how many or few are
defective, and thus be able to decide how
much seed to use on an acre, or other
plot. = American Agrieulturalist for
