Farmers Banks and Deposits.

Some one has wittily said that the
Bank of Earth is the best bank for
farmers one that never fails to honor
their drafts so long as they have bal
ance of deposit to their credit. There is
a measure of truth in this statement, and
the recent furry in Wall street gives
emphasis to the security of the Bank
of Earth. Nevertheless this institution
the manner in which drafts are pre-
scented, and if not presented in
way to meet its approval.
will sometimes refuse to honor them.
even though the depositor may have II
liberal balance to his credit. 1t is
important, therefore, that he should
not only know how to keep credit
balance, but also how to present his
drafts.
For example: Some Of your rich Hi.
nos soils, and some of the best soils
in our Miami Valley, contains enough
of the material used by Il crop to
produce two hundred heavy crops of
wheat in succession without the appli-
cation Of any kind of manure. But
every intelligent farmer knows that
We're he to- draw on his bank for ten
successive crops of wheat on any ordi-
nary soil, without using manure or
otherwise helping the soil there would
soon be signs of suspension and it
might be that even before the tenth
harvest was reached the bank some
year might put up its shutters and
hang out notice: mo further drafts
honored here until deposits have been
made"
There are, in fact, in this rich valley
of ours, many fields which no longer
pay the costs of cultivation, though
containing large stores Of all the mate
rial needed for a crop; and yet they
would be productive could they be
induced to give up a very moderate
share of the fertility they hold under
lock and key This trouble has not
been experienced SO generally in your
State rs in ours simply because it is not
As old. But sooner or later you will
hear the same cry about exhausted
soils if the same careless methods
of farming are followed as have been in
this valley.
The couSe of these "worn out teld-
is not merely, "a is often supposed. that
the cultivators have taken too much
from the soil, in proportion 10 what they
have returned, but that by bad treat
mcnt OF the soil they have compelled it
to lock up the fertility it contains. In
other words, the farmer has presented
his drafts in such a manner that the
ank has refused to honor them. Such
fields may often be restored and made
as productive as before, but the pro-
cess is expensive, and during the latter
wears of cultivation. while field is
running down. it is often cropped at
loss. II is far more profitable 10 50

not be reached. .- OHIO Cor. Pratrtt

A Lesson For Young Widows.

One of the most attractive young
widows in New York society has re-
fused half dozen offers since the death
of her husband, out of Difference, it is
presumed. TO the wishes of his father,
who has allowed her An income OF four
thousand dollars a year and maintained
an eouiptage for her. The other day
the old gentleman quilted this mundane
sphere. and when his will was opened
il was found that he had not mentioned
her. having divided his property be-
tween his widow and his brothers. the
daughter was cut to the quick at
being ignored, and, when the dowager
widow wrote TO her that she would con
tinue the allowance herself, answered
that she must decline to accept 1t, add
inc that her own parents had more than
made rood the loss. 1t is general
felt that the old gentleman acted in eX-
ecrable taste in thus repaying ms

tested the greatest liking for her up to

sion, and having his residence in this city
is another factor in his favor
The county will subserve its best inter,
ests by electing George W. Henry to the
circuit clerkship. Mr.. Henry has made
one of the best aldermen the city ever
had and filled the position of chairman
of many of the most important commit
tees with the best of satisfaction. An
excellent penman and accountant he
would make a No. ! clerk, and his quail
fications for the office are sufficient to Sc
cure his election. The people also desire
a change in the circuit clerks Office, so
that an investigation can be made, the
board of supervisors having charged >the
present incumbent with retaining some of
the countys funds. Whether guilty OF
not, there is a difference between the
clerk and the supervisors, and the best
thing to be done in the premises is to Sc
cure a new administration This fact,
together with Mr.. Henry's popularity,
makes him formidable candidate, and
we look for his election.
