A Gold Vein on Most Farms.

Very many communities know the
excitement produced by the rumor, even,
that somebody.in the vicinity has found
indications of the presence Of m0ld in
the soil. Untold millions have been
eXpcndeu n. H"arching for the precious
metal i'll localities where bit of useless
iron pyrites (sulphide of iron) has been
mistaken for gold, which it resembles in
color. Oar observation indicates that
there is, on ut least four-lifths of the
farms of this country, an overlooked
golden vein, OF much greater value than
any yellow metal likely to be found out
sidc Of few special geological forma-
tions.
The following experiment, tried on
any farm or garden, will explain what
we arc aiming at. Take a quart Of far
quality yard manure, and pour upon it a
pint OF water. After standing q week
or two, drain off half pint of the
liquid Now prepare two corn hills, q
few feet apart, on any ground, even rich
prairie soil. For one hill, make hole
three or four inches deep, and pour into
it tho half-pint OF liquid, adding a trilc
of fine earth, and plant the second hill
wit thout this preparation. The result
will be, almost always, that in the first
hill the rootlcts, and subsequent roots,
will grow down where the liquid has
soaked, much more quickly, grow
stronger, spread wider, and send out
far more numerous fcs ding fbcrs than
will be found in the second hill. The
| other plants) will, like well fed young
animals, develop much earlier and take
| far better advantage of the growing
season. In short, whatever the soil,
this hill will, on the average, ripon
earlier, produce moro stalks, and twenty
TO fifty per cGnt-Oftcn q hundred per
! cent--moro sound kernels than the
other hill. And, by the way, there is in
the quart of fertilizer enough material
left for similar effect upon three or
four other corn hills.
| NOW, visit the farm-yards of the coun-
try generally, and in nine -tenth3 of them
thero will be found, on one side or an
other, quarts, gallons, barrelfuls of this
golden liquid teaching away and vast
| lng--otten scores and hundreds of bar
rels OF 1t during year. Yet, at Srillr "
cost, perhaps only an e&"th bank on the
lower side of the yard, all this wastaoe
may be saved and turned to account.
The streams, rich in stimulating plant
food, now lost from the Yards of the
four and one-third million farms OF ou
country, may, with very little care and
trouble, be retained in the rottinp or.
ganic matter, and transferrr, to corn
hills and to the roots of 0 ..er cr0ps.
Real gold will be found in the Increased
crops, and be obtained at far less cost
and labor than is expended by the great
mass of gold miners. Proper attention
10 so simple a matter on the farms OF
the country, taken together, would ado
more dollars to tho wealth of the conn.
try every year than is now dug out OF
all the gold mines between tho Atlantic
and Pacifc.-Anertca'1 4qricultwtst.

amount of the States production the

A Base Conspiracy Defeated.

A close guess was made in Hartford
saloon the other day. In one partition
of a money-draWer was large number
Of pennies. Among the frequcntcrs Of
the place wa5 q man who was niwaFS
ready to make q bet. 1t occurred TO
the proprietor of the place, who had
been taken in good many times by the
betting man, to lay for him. He took
n friend into his confidence, and the
pair made up their minds to boat the
fellow with the contents of the money
drawer. So they counted the pennies
and found there were just G25 Of them.
Then they laid low for their opportu
nifty.
That evening the betting man was on
hand, and in manner not to excite
suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his
friend: 81 wonder how many pennies
there arc in this drawerp'
The betting chap pricked up his ears
and remarked: "Let each of us put up
SIS, and the one who. comes nearest TO
the number shall take the pot"
This was agreed to, and the saloon
keeper marked 624, his friend 626, and
the fellow that was really ignorant of
the number, and whom they expected to
trap, by the merest chance put his
fingers at 625. The astonishment of the
two sharpers was no greater than the
wonder Of the other at such remarkably
sharp guessing. After this the betting
man was boss of the saloon.-HGrtJortL
