Speaking of the value of underdrain-
ing, Hon. T. w. Palmer of Michigan says ::
"Underdraining makes the farmer master
of the situation. 1t lengthens the season
for the plants and for the farmer. If
man cannot spare the money or the labor.
which is the same thing, to underdrain
more than an acre, let him do that much
There are methods sofeconomizing of in every

be applied to great number of uses.
The slops from the kitchen and sink in the

of fertilizing material. By using muck
freely, all these substances may be saved,
and large compost heap formed. which
will afford several loads of very good
manure tor the potato or corn field. The
pig-yard is always in need of absorbents,
and two or three pigs. when well supplied
with all the muck that is needed, will

Grape Vines In August.

While grape vines have more enemies
than almost any other fruit-bearing plant.
they are with the exception of the little
understood 'rot," easily managed if ta-
ken in time. Mildew is usually preva-
lent this month. If neglected. but little
fruit can be hoped for. Mildew is easily
kept in subsection, il sulphur be applied
in time. as directed last month. If u rain
falls soon after sulphur has been used,
the application should be repeated. II
the vines are kept well busted with sui
phur. the trouble will make put little
headway The insects that infest the
vine at this season are mainly large and
solitary caterpillars and beetles, destruct-
i've enough, but so scattered that hand
picking is the only remedy that can be
applied. Where droppings are seen on
the ground beneath the vines search for
the caterpillar that makes them. On old
vines there will often appear vigorous
shoots from the base, or at the root, and
anywhere upon the old stem. These as
general thing, are not needed. and should
be removed as soon as noticed. II the
laterals continue to push out. the new
growth should be pinched back. leaving
the lower leaf. Where vines trained to
trellis have been shortened. the uppermost
bud will often start into growth. This
should be treated like a lateral. pinching
it back to the lower leaf. and repeating
the operation as often as new shoot starts.
Those who grow grapes to compete Tor
prizes at the various exhibitions, some-
times thin the berries in the clusters, that
the remaining fruit may attain larger
size.-American Agricaltnrist for august.

This Seasons Peaches.

"The real; Delaware peach district" says newspaper correspondent, ''is sit- uated on peninsula that is surrounded by salt water, and this has the tendency to keep the temperature of the wind at a uniform rate, so that danger from sud- den and intense cold blasts are much less likely to occur. Every season, early. specimen branches from several trees are plucked and placed in warm water, then put in q hot-house and the buds forced into blossom. These are examined under the microscope, and an expert can easily decide what the crop will be for the coming season. Such an experiment. was made few days ago Tn my presence. The crop may not be an extraordinarily large one, but this test shows that the fruit will be of much bet ter quality than the average, and larger than for several seasons past. An aver age crop from the Delaware district IS 4,OOO, 900 bushels. This year it IS estl- mated to be little above that, but the fruit will be of the best quality and of much more desirable condition than when small and excessive in quantity.

An AnecdOte of Peter Cooper.

We recall a little incident we ob- served 8 few years ago. A workman in Cooper Institute having occasion to as- cend ladder to do some repairing in one of the public rooms, called to an old man whom he happened to see standing near by, watching him. "Here, old fel- low, hold the ladder for me, won't you" The ''old fellow started forward and held the ladder for the workman, while he climbed up and did his work. That unpretentious old man was Peter Cooper. It was Peter Cooper through and through and all over. It was ambi- ton enough for him to hold the ladder for other people, he might not climb himself. He remembered how hard the climbing had been for him when he tried to study and learn and fit himself for his sphere of usefulness and service; and he made up his mind many, many years ago, that he would make it easier for other people to climb. His institute was ladder; and he stood by it day after day, holding it that other people, young men and women, might climb. .-L.de- pendent

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
Three Mississippi Towns Almost DestrOyes and Many People Killed and Injured.

A destructive tonado swept ovtl Iowa, North Carolina Mississippi and Georgia, on Monday. It is feared that no less than one hundred and fifty lives were lost. The damage to property was immense. The villages of Wes- son and Beauregard, Miss, were wrecked, the damage at the latter amounting to $25O,OO0. The cyclone was accompanied by torrents of rain and dreadful thunderstorm. Panic pre- vailed all along its track. Cattle per ished by the hundred, and the most narrowing scenes and incidents are reported.
 At Wesson, Miss, the number of killed is estimated at twelve; two or three children are missing and 15O or 200 dwellings have been blown down. There are known to be seventy-five peo- pie with broken limbs. The town of Beauregard, Miss, was entirely wiped out and only mass of rubbish remains The list of dead is fully fifteen, and fifty persons are injured.
 On the Natchez and Columbus Rail road the town of Tillman was destroyed and on the Vicksburg and Meridian Rail road the town of Lawrence suffered ter ribly, but no lives were lost.
 A dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss, says the cyclone passed over that portion of the city known as Freedmantown. Eight or ten lives were lost, and about fifty persons, most of them negroes, were in irlred, some of whom will probably die The path of the storm was about 300 yards wide, and it's direction from south west to northeast.
 At Americus, Ga., the destruction of property was very heavy, and twenty five persons lost their lives. The track of the tornado was from three hundred to thousand yards wide. The rain poured in torrents, and the lightning flashes, followed by peal after peal of deafening thunder, made up scene at once sublime and appalling. Houses were blown down, forests lev elled and all vestige of fences swept away. Cattle, swine and horses were killed by hundreds. All the farms and plantations in the track of the storm are in ruins and all the grain crops destroyed. Twenty five people were killed and 200 wounded in the county. On Tuesday a dispatch from Americus said :-The hor- rible details come in hourly. Many houses and mills, with their contents animals and children were blown hun dreds of yards.
 The tornado or perhaps series of cyclones swept on as far as North Carolina. In Morehead City serious damage was done and number of per- sons were injured.
 At the same time portions of Iowa were visited by cyclones, doing serious damage.
 Later returns from the track of the terrible tornado which swept through the South, say that between 200 and 300 lives were lost in Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, and that fully one thousand persons were more or less in- jured, some of them fatally and others crippled for life.

For weak lungs sp1tting of blood, short breath, consumptive night-sweats and kin dred affections, 1t is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and increase the flesh and weight of those reduced beloa d the usual standard of health by wasting dis eases.
 Tine reader will pardon the foregoing di- gresaion, prompted by our admiration for remedy that performs such marve!ous cures, and permit us to say that when the admiral returned to his home in New York the only with his family caused by the contlnued illness of his eldest son, young man ot twenty four, whose disease, when the ad- miral sailed from Montevedio, had been re, ported as succumbing to the treatment or the family doctor. But his father thought II otherwise; the unfortunate young man was suffering severely from chronic disease or the kidneys and bladder. Before leaving Boston the admiral had purchased copy Of Dr. Pierce's book, "The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" He read this val uao,e book thoroughly, and upon his arrival home had made up his mind as to the future treatment for his son. The latter was sent to the famous Invalds Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y., conducted by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and his competent staff of specialists, where, under skilful treatment, the sufferer soon found relief and permanent cure.
