the observations taken on the 9th
of December. When once it is
known how far the sun is from the
earth, it will be an easy matter to
find out the precise distances of all
the members of the solar system
from each other. Indeed, the full
results of the labors of our astrono-
mers may not be comprehended for
century. 1t is said of the Greeks
that their discoveries in geometry
seemed objectless, as they were of
no immediate utility, but they
proved to be of enormous benefits
to the human race two thousand
years later in making navigation a
science. At the time the solving of
geometrical problems seemed of no
more value to the. average Greek
than is the solving of chess prob
lem to-day, and yet what world of
gratitude does the race owe to the
Grecian geometricians. In passing,
it may be remarked, that in the
spectroscope were many lines never
seen before. 1t should be under
stood that every line shows certain
peculiarities which indicate the pres
ence of specific metal or other ma
terial. The spectroscope reveals
the fact that the atmosphere of the
sun contains hydrogen, iron, sodium,
and many other substances common
to this earth. These have also been
found on Venus, but with them
other lines, for which there is moth
ing analogous, so far as is known,
in the composition of the earth.

amount of learning of theory can
resist the argument of practical ex-
perience and the laws of nature.
At certain seasons of the year the
ground must be plowed, and at an
other seeded, and at still another
cultivated, and lastly harvested;
this much done, it should be at
once prepared, sent to market and
sold. Another uncontrovertable
law is to return to the soil as much
OF more of the same elements which
constitute the food consumed by
the crop taken from it, and without
which the yield will certainly de-
crease. No amount of theory or
science will do this without prac-
tical application of those materials
which common sense and expert
ence have proven to be the best.
These experiences constitute the
subjects treated of in agricultural
Journals, intermixed with scientific
Investigations OF them by chemists
and experimental farmers, who are
const antly seeking for those in
gradients adapted to fertilizing the
soil, and assist the farmer in OBJ
tanning the greatest results under
the most profitable conditions. Let

certain that a person endowed with

What Next?

An article published in the Scien-
tific American, says Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, well known as the New
Highlander who is deeply interest
ing himself in everything relative
to cotton, has lately announced the
discovery of a new and important
element of value in the cotton crop.
He states that for each bale of cot
ton there are about /, 800 pounds of
stems, which are very rich in phos-
plate of lime potash. When ground
and mixed with cotton seed meal
(which is too rich for use as fodder
in large quantities), the stem mix
ture makes superior cattle food,
rich in all the elements needed for
the production of milk, meat and
bone. 1t is believed that this util-
cation of the cotton stems, hitherto
nuisance, will prove to cotton
growers a new source Of wealth, and
in many parts greatly facilitate the
raising of stock, by furnishing a
substitute for grain.

Coed Night.

How tenderly and sweetly falls
the gentle qgood night" into loving
hearts, as members of the family
separate and retire for the night.
What smyriads of hasty words and
thoughtless acts engendered in the
hurry and business of the day are
forever blotted out by Its benign in
fuence. Small tokens, indeed, but
it is the little courtesies that can SO
beautifully round off the square
corners in the homes of laDoring
men and women. The simple Il

will fill with happiness the heart OF
the giver. If home be happy, 1t
is of heaven the truest symbol. II
home be happy, whether the owner
possesses patch of ground or l, OO0
acres, they who live there are indeed
wealthy beyond mathematical cal
citations. Then how much more
lovingly are the sable folds of night
gathered the happy home. How
much more confidently do Its
members repose their weary bodie:
| in the care of divine goodness
smoothing their overtaxed minds te
the living realities of beautiful

ooUNTRxMAN's
Message to the Legislature on
Convict Labor.

My special purpose in sending
this message, however, is to make
some suggestions about convict la
Dor, as 1 lost my former message
before I had finished this branch of
it, as you will perceive by the most
careful examination. / said great
deal about the matter, but failed to
tell you exactly what ought to be
done with this labor. Now / in
tend to make it so plain-so clear
what ought to be done to keep this
labor from coming in competition
with honest labor shat he who runs
may read" eG
First, / want to fix your minds
on this point: We can't support
these convicts and not require them
to work. This would cost too much
money and be unpopular; but we
must make them work at something
that will keep them out of competi-
ton with honest labor. / will now
suggest to you a plan. 1t will not
do to allow them to practice law,
-because-well they haven't the
ability; but 1 will suggest what to
do with them before l am done.
We cannot make doctors of them,
because long association has de-
stroyed those personal antagonisms
necessary to success in that pro-
fession; but 1 will tell you what
mast be done. 47f
It would hardly do to make legis-
lators of them, because-well there
are simply too many of them-that's
the only objection. But FL sug-
gest something. 1t won't do to make
farmers of them, for they are in
competition with too many voters
in the country; nor to make me-
chanics of them, for that brings
them in competition with too many
voters in the cities and towns. But
I'll tell you what to do before Pm
done. It will not doyto work them
in coal mines in competition with
miners, for these are engaged in
''honest labor" and have some voice
in political affairs, But my pur
pose is to show you what ought to
be done with them. 1t would hard
ly do to permit them to fish and
hunt over the country, for it would
cost too much to guard them and
be Objectionable otherwise; but I'll
soon tell you what to do. Now,
they must do some kind of work to
earn their meat and bread, and not
become an additional expense to
the tax payers. Do you hear that9
They cannot be utilized in the
learned professions for sundry reas-
ons, do you hear that? They must
not be brought in competition with
any kind Of labor that's honest
all labor is honorable; do you hear
that? Now, what shall be done
with them2 They ought to be made
to-let's see-well, they ought to
be at-something that will keep
them from competing with honest
labor. You ought to pass some law
requiring the convicts to be worked
at some labor which--that is to say
may be suggested by Gov. -,
who is to succeed me two years
hence, for, dad burn him, it's his
business, anyway, and not mine.

The Population Of Venus.

lOemorest's Monthly for February
Well, the great astronomical event
has come and gone, and scientists
all over the world have been able to
make observations upon Venus as
it passed across the face of the sun.
The full result of their studies, dla-
grams, and photography will not be
known for several years. Several
curious facts have, however. been
given to the public. The spectre
scope has revealed. the fact, beyond
all dispute, that there is water on
that planet. 1t was known before
that there was a great deal of mois-
ture in it's atmosphere, but the
presence of water in the form OF
oceans and lakes makes. it reason
able to suppose that there is life on
the surface of Venus. Heat and
moisture are indispensable factors
in the development of vegetable and
animal forms, and Venus certainly
appears to have both. Professor
Langley of Pittsburg made a very
| important discovery. He found 1
bright spot on the edge of thu
planet which must have covered
nearly two thousand miles of tn,
surface. This spot might hav'
been a hugh mountain, or a monsteI
volcano, for it seemed to be al
illuminated protuberance upon tn
face of the planet. Within a shor
time the astronomers VIII be able t
give us the almost exact distanc
between the earth and the sum-

HOW Much Land to own.

Every one has got to settle for
himself the question of how many
acres he can proftably farm. The
man who has forty acres. and
makes profit say of 25 per
cent, must be able to proftably add
another forty. His profits may
then fall to twenty per cent, but
still his income would be larger if
his products doubled. But there is
limit to ones ability to get from
additional land what the old portion
has done, and, as a rule, very large
farms do not pay better than small
ones. That part Of every farm upon
which the most capital is expended
is the garden, and everyone knows
that, in proportion to its area, this
is much the most productive and
profitable part OF the farm. The
deductions from this are plain. No
man should possess more land or
undertake the cultivation of more
acres than he has capital to manage
well, for if he does he will find him
self rapidly sinking what little pro-
ductive capital he possesses, and is
liable to become poor with the
means of wealth still in his hand.
This is especially true when the To-
cation is near large cities. Then
the successful man is the one who
can skillfully till his ground, have an
assortment of crops that can readily
be sold, and be a believer in the
value of q small farm thoroughly
cultivated.

Telephones for Farmers.

To make a good and serviceable
telephone, good from one farm house
to another, only requires enough
wire and two cigar boxes. First
select your boxes and make q hole
about a half an inch in diameter in
the center of the bottom OF each,
and then place one in each of the
houses you wish to connect; then
get five pounds of common iron
stove-pipe wire, make q loop in one
end and put it through the hole in
your cigar box and tasten it with q
nail; then draw it tight to the other
box, supporting it when necessary
with a stout cord. You can easily
run your line into the house by
boring a hole through the glass.
Support your boxes with Stats nail
ed across the window, and your tel
ephone is complete. The writer has
one that is 200 yards lon 6 and cost
forty-fve cents, that will carry mu-
sic when the organ IS played thirty
feet away in another room.

Common Sense.

No amount OF euucaU1Ou OF eApe-
rience can compensate for the want
of this great quality of mind, be-
cause it is through it that perspicu-
BUSINESS is made available, and I'M
biased action in business controlled,
through education, theories are ac-
qflired, and experience is simply
the experiments upon them, while
common sense is the grand balance
wheel of practical application, and
controls erratic and illusionary
ideas. For instance, a farmer con-
ceiyes the idea that because an
enormous crop of any one particu-
Lar product has been harvested this
year, that next year the demand
will be propsrtionately less, and
consequently he viii plant none at
all or at any rate very much small
err area. Common sense would ar
que Just the reverse, or at any rate
dictate the planting of the same
area, taking into consideration the
thousand and one mishaps THAI the
crop is subject to, and calculate up
on far smaller yield than the pres
ent. The same difference between
illusionary reasoning and common
sense is applicable to the sale OF
crops. The one tends to specula-
ton; the other, to legitimate trade.
A remarkable illustration of this is
shown in the case of a farmer in
Ohio, who though hard working, in
dustrious, and economical to fault,
failed to become wealthy, because
he believed that wheat would al
ways bring higher prices than it
did. Hence he held on to his
crops year after year, until the ac-
cumulation of them reached thou
sands of bushels, much of which
rotted or became damaged during
its storage, and consequently value
less. Had this foolish man sent
his wheat to market as soon as
harvested, and sold it at ruling
rates, at least he would have had
common sense" dollars against err
roneous ideas and bushels ofworth-
less grain.
Education can be acquired by dill
igent application and under the
guidance Of skilled professors, and
the mind, through books, lectures
and experiments, carried to an al
most unlimited degree or exhala
ton, and still common sense

1t is a mistaken sense of kindness
to over-feed horses. 1t may make
them look sleek and handsome, yet
it imparts their general health and
makes tkem more liable to disease
and ailments. When horses are
regularly worked they should have
strong food and plenty of it, but
when seldom or irregularly used,
the food should be in proportion
to the amount of work, else they
will become over fat, incapable OF
