The Reason Why.
IRON tAe Tcxas slftinss.l


A good many years ago, when GER
tain place in Texas was very small
town, quite number Of prominent
citizens went out on hunting expedi-
ton. One night when they were gather
ed around the camp fire, one Of the party
suggested that each man should give
the time and reason for his leaving his
native state and coming to Texas, where
upon each one IN turn told his ex-
perience. Judge Blank had killed man
in seH-defense, and Arkansaw, Gen.
Soandso had forged another mans
signature to check, while another came
to Texas on account Of his having two
wives. The only man TINT did not make
any disclosures was sanctimonious-
looking old man. who although pro-
fessional gambler, was usually called
!" Parson. !"
!" Well, Pason. why did you leave

body :"

church.
Deep silence fell on the group. No
such excuse for coming to Texas ever
had been heard 81 before. There was
evidently an nnexplained mystery at the
bottom IL it. The. ParsOu was called
on to furnish more light.

Memory in Chess.Playing.

Wonderful as are the feats Of chess.
players who can work out game or a
series of games without seeing the board
(says the London Lancet). there is moth
ing really remarkable in them. When
once mastered the trick is not only fairly
easy of performance, but the fact that
the process is purely mental rather facil-
itates than lmpedes the action of the
mind. To the "blindfolded chess
player there is present mental picture
of the board with the pieces in position.
He can change the position of the men
as easily as be cap think, and after he
has once mastered the difficulty OF fixing
the mental picture, it is distinctly be-
fore him. Some players, who do not in
their common process OF memory use
picture phantoms, work out the moves
as algebraical propositions are occasion
ally worked, by phantoms of sound; but,
as O rule, chess players are mental pic
ture readers, and can at pleasure call up
any of the several pictures of boards as
they last conceived them.
The most difficult feat, and one which
very few mental chess-players can ac-
complish, is to play two or three games
simultaneously, the moves made by their
opponents being told them in close Sc
quence, and their own moves being
directed after all the reports OF the pro-
ceedings Of their opponents have been
received. Thus, if there be several
players against the one mental player,
he must be told and remember what one
of his adversaries has done before he
houinr RI Oiv.a tho inrtrr,ctinns for b;o
several counter moves. In this exploit
the most perfect development of the
mental faculty OF distinct picturing and
the displacement and recall of mental
pictures at will is exhibited. The pro-
digious difficulty Of the feat can only be
realized in the attempt to perform it.
Even the expert blindfolded player
can rarely succeed in accomplishing the
performance we have attempted to de.
scribe.

B. F. j., in Country Gentleman:
These facts are stated for the benefit Of
the inexperienced many, rather than for
the instructed few. the latter Of whom
hare to read pages to get new idea,
which the former find in every paragraph
they read. I find, on inquiry, that on
the black soils late sown rye is almost
sure to yield much larger crop than
early sown, and that, in almost any case,
there is positive advantage in pastur-
ing rye fields, not only in the fall, but in
the spring as late as May 90. When rye
is sown in September or the first part of
October, If the season is favorable, it
makes very strong growth, which, II
not pastnred, is mostly killed during the
winter, then etarts early and grows
quickly in spring and natures some
time in june. But in such cases, while
the height is prodigious one, the heads
are apt to be short and not very we'll fill-
ed. If such fields are pastured III the
fall and during the winter and spring as
late as mentioned, this seems to favor
stooling, the increase OF root growth, u
shorter and stouter straw, greater
number of stalks and nearly double
grain yield. These facts seem to indi-
cate that where rye is grown on fields
which cannot be pastured afterwards,
the seeding should be as late as Novem-
Der /, in average seasons. When we
come to understand rye cultivation bet
ter, there is little doubt Of the increase
Of the yield and the average of the crop,
and when its value as food grain has
been tested. it is likely to considerably
decrease the consumption Of wheat.

Magnetic Attraction.

beg to state that the reason why the
needle points in the northern direction
is that the earth itself is magnet, at
attracting the magnetic needle rs the
ordinary magnets do, and the earth is a
magnet as the result Of certain cosmical
facts, much affected by the action OF the
sun. These laws have periodicities, all
Of which Lave not as yet been determined.
The inherent and ultimate rcason OF any
fact in nature, as gravity, light, heat,
ETC., is not known further than 1t is In
harmony with all facts in nature. Even
an earthquake is in perfect harmony
with and the direct resultant OF the nc
ton Of force acting under general laws.
A condensed explanation in regard to the
needle pointing to the northward and
southwark is as follows: The magnetic
poles Of the earth do not coincide with
the geographical poles. The axis Of
rotation makes an angle Of about % de-
grees with q line joining the former.
She northern magnetic pole is at present
near the arctic circle on the meridian Of
Omaha. Hence the needle does not ev-
erywhere point to the astronomical north.
and is constantly variable within certain
limits. At San Francisco it points
about 1T to the east OF north, and Mt
Calais, Me-, as much to the west. At
the northern magnetic pole . balanced

But rarely any trouble because of bit
ter butter is experienced even in winter
and on ordinary food. wherever the cows
are fresh, or even when they are farrow,
except in rare instances where the cows
are feverish or otherwise unhealthy.
Doubtless many dairymen have often
noticed that when the milk Of even one
or two new mich cows was mixed with
that CT eight of ten old ones, the effect
has been to correct the bitterness, and
improve the color and consistency of the
butter. The conclusions arrived at are,
that in order to obtain good, sweet but
ter in winter the following are required:
First. Healthy COWS that have calved
not to exceed two months.
Second. Plenty Of sweet, fine hay,
corn meal, stalks, roots, and good water,
with regular times for feeding and water
ing.
Third. Clean and comfortable stables.
Last and not least Utmost cleani-
ness in milking and in the care OF all
dishes, utensils, churns, and rooms in
which milk, cream and butter is placed.

wheat Sell.


The farmer must SOW his wheat upon
such land as he has, it may be clay or
sand, wet or dry, rich or poor. If it be
clay, and other conditions are favorable,
be may expect plump, soft berry, and
full crop. ii his soil is sandy, and
other conditions favorable, the wheat is
likely to have a smaller but harder kerr
mel, the quality will perhaps be better.
but the quantity somewhat less. If the
soil be too moist, it will pay to UNDER
drain. Tile drains, two rods apart, and
ut an average depth of three feet, have
doubled the crop and paid the total ex.
pense Of the drainage in single year.
III for any reason undertaking cannot
be prac,iced, no fear of incommoding
the reaper ought to be allowed to pre-
vent making a sufficient number of
open burrows for surface drainage. The
greatest possible inconvenience ut har-
vest time is poor crop. Black, mucky
land, after it is drained, may need to
be dressed with fertilizers, such as salt,
lime, or bone-dust. A dry, poor coil
needs barn-yard manure.-- american
