ter Of Col. c. A. Brougher, of Jack
son, died in Sunfower county last
week, whittier she had gone to en-
gage in teaching. To her bereaved

privilege to know Miss Kate for years
as personal friend, aud in all the
attributes which go to make up the
true woman, we caa say she was an
honor to her sex. May her gentle
spirit find sweet rest, and the hand
of sorrow fall gently upon the loving
ones who mourn her loss.

Illustrated Sunday Paper in The couu =

If it is, there never was a more

the literary contents of a high order

soil for Potatoes.

The potato, says Peter Henderson,
like all robust growing Vegetables,
can be grown with varying success on
lis of all kinds ID in all conditions
OF fertility, but the soil best suited to
it is a sandy loan. In all heavy soils
it is more subject to disease, and the
flavor also is much inferior. In break
ing up good pasture land the decay =
ing sod answers sufficiently well fol
the first year in lieu of manure, Ma.
nure is applied either in rows OF
hills, or broadcast over the hills and
plowed in, the latter in most cases
being preferable, If the soil is good
but little manure is required III
highly enriched soil the plants are
more liable to disease than wien
grown in soil that is naturally good
The best fertilizers are those Of dry
or absorbent nature, as plaster, lime
superphosphate Of lime and bone
dust. For wet soils these are partlc-
ularly beneficial, as they not only
promote growth but prevent disease
Plant as early in the spring as the
ground can be had in fair working
order, in hills or ridges, about tire,
feet apart covering in light, warn
soils, about fonr inches deep but II
cold. wet situations, two and hal
or three inches will be sufficient

House ana Farm.
Things Far IN ers should NOT do.

A farmer should not break up more
land than he cun cultivate thorough
ay; half titled land is always growing
poorer, while we'll titled land is con-
stantly improving, A thrifty and
prudent farmer will not devote his
whole attention to the improvement:
of certain fields on his farm, because
the land is easy to work at, and let
other portions Of his premises 50 un-
cultivated, and grow nothing but
brush, boys, berries and stones
A farmer should never have more
cattle, horses or other animal stock
than he can keep in good order. An
animal in good order ut the begin
ning Of winter is already half winter
ed, Nor should he let his cattle en-
.lure the chilling storms Of winter in
an open yard or field, whilst few
dollars expended in the way of max
ing comfortable stables would amply
repay him in saving fodder, and af-
ford a greater amount of milk,
A farmer should never depend too
much on his ighbors for what he
can by careful management produce
on his own land, He should not
make it common practice to either
buy or beg fruit while he can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own
ground-nor annoy his nelghbors by
borrowing tools to work while he can
make or buy them, The borrower
is servant to the lender
A farmer should never be so i'm
mersed in political matters as to ne
gleat doing his various kinds OF work
in due season, and to snug up mat
tiers d ID things for winter, nor should
he be so inHttentlve to politics us to
remain ignorant Of those great qUes-
tons OF national and State policy
which will always agitate more or
less a free people.

We thought we had a good machine in

The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it-hut more to ohliTr the agent
