Ossp ana sAsiiev Cultivate,

1. Professor J. w. sanborns exper-
iments as the Missouri Agricultural Col
lege are quoted by The New England
Farmer ~ appearing to contradict the
old theory that Cultivation Of the soil
deeply in dry weather keeps il damp by
attracting and absorbing the humidity
of the atmosphere:
1T would seem therefore, that when
the housckeeper's clothes hung upon .
line to dry during the night are found
IN the morning to have given up their
moisture, or . portion of il, to
the surrounding atmosphere, the
earth too has been giving up its
its moisture to the air. and that under
such conditions the deeper and more
frequently soil is stirred in . dry
time, the dryer that soil will become.
The preventive measure, ~ previously
recommended by Professor Stockbridge,
is to cultivate only the surface in dry
time and say one or two inches deep, in
order to keep the ground covered by a
thin coat Of soil, so thoroughly dried
that it cannot readily conduct OF the
moisture from below. Stirring the sur
face lightly disturbs capillary attrac-
ton, and prevents the moisture from
rising to the surface to be absorbed by
the night air. Deep cultivation in dry
weather it is claimed exposes the earth
to the absorbing action of the air."

And the little woman hustled about.
and found some sticks, and Joo found
some more matches, and they got bit
Of fire somehow. and before Joe left he
thought that his nights adventure had
not turned out so badly as might have
been expected.
Lucy Manvers' sister Kate had been
married about fve years ago to O poor
young artist, who had every wish and
will to succeed in his profession, and,
with young mans buoyancy, made
up his mind that he was certain to do
so. Mr.. Manvers had forbidden the
wedding altogether and solemnly told
his daughter he would never see her
again should she marry William Tsy-
lor. She did 80 however; but with
little money and no introduction, IL
was not easy for her husband to get
on; and by degrees he went down In
the world till he got about as low Is he
possibly could get. He had on the
evening on which Joe met him gone in
to the gambling room in the hope Of
getting little help from Mr.. Manvers,
who, OF one time had great hopes of his
two daughters making good marriages.
They were then one Of the principal
attractions of the saloon, and when his
eldest girl married against his will he
said that, were she starving, lie would
never help her. And he kept his word
for once in his lite faithfully. Lucy
would only stay with her father after
her sister left on condition that he
never asked her to enter the saloon
again; 80, as he could trust her better
than any one else, it was her duty IN
the evening to keep guard over the
kitchen and cupboard entrances.
Joe went home aext day, having had
quite enough of London, and made a
full confession. He also discovered
suddenly want of pictures in his faith
er's neighbors' houses, aud spoke of a
certain artist whom he thought might
be induced to came and paint few of
their magnificent views around there.
Joe's father did exactly what Joe ex-
pected. He sent up G20, to be repaid
by degrees, and found little furnished
cottage for the London artist and his
wife, and sister-in-la And some
how, Mrs. Norton took violent fancy
to Lucy, who looked ten years younger
than when Joe saw her first. And af-
ter bit she grew so charming that Joe
thought somebody else among the
mountains might want her if he did not
look after her himself. So one morn
ing there was quiet wedding in the
pretty little church, and Lucy Manvers
was made Mrs. J. Norton, Jr. And to
make everything better, Mrs. Taylor soon
grew almost we'll, and her husband,
with hard work and encouragement,
soon found himself one of the most ris-
ing artists. And SO altogether Joe
never regretted taking "London Holi-
day.

II is now in order for farmers, horti-
culturists, artisans and others engaged
in industrial pursuits-not excepting
tho wives and daughters of ruralists,
and those of villagers as well-to make
timely preparation for tho exhibition Of
some of the results of their industry,
skill and taste in competition with those
of near and distant producers of like in
telligence and progressive tendencies.
The increase Of agricultural societies
and clubs has been 80 great during the
past two or three decades that, in most
populous sections of the country, either
state, county or more local industrial
exhibition is easily accessible. so. that
almost any one disposed to dis.
play specimens of his or her cult
vation, management orhandiwork need
not lack for favorable opportunity.
Many people who take pleasure in '.go-
ing to the fair" are prone to neglect the
incumbent duty of contributing thereto
something which would add to the in
terest, variety, or value of the display,
and thus render the general exhibition
more attractive and instructive to 9TH
ers in attendance. Most sensible peo-
pie who attend fairs do SO chiefly for
the purpose Of obtaining useful intor-
nation about rural matters; and they
should be willing to impart the like by
contributing what they may to one or
more departments, and explaining their
modes Of culture and management.
The true way to benefit one another on
such ocasiol,s is to compare products
and experiences. and to give the results
of experiments, both successes and
failures. But those who propose join
ing in the good work the ensuing au-
tumn by becoming exhibitors and in
structors, have no time to spare.-N. Y.

This advice about soil for Pit Plants
is given from successful experience in
The American Garden: "Some plants,
like the f,,cllsia, prefer leaf mold, and
will do better in it than in anything
else have ever tried; but I grow fine
plants in exactly the same soil that I
give my geraniums and other plants of
that character. Il is my practice to
mix turfy loan, which I procure from
under old sods in pasture, garden mold,
and manure which I get in corners Of
the barnyard, we'll together, and add
sand as l pot my plants, putting in
more or less as consider advisable,
usually in the proportion Of one-third
loan, one third soil and the other third
made up of tho manure and sand. For
strong-rootod plants I add less sand
than for those having many small roots.
In all cases I add sand enough to keep
tho soil from becoming heavy. Most
amateurs do not seem to consider it nee
essary TO pay much attention to the
item of sand. But it is. lwould soon
or omit the manure, If I had to choose
between the two"

s.all Farn Ven xillsa.

We take the following items from
the Iowa Agricultural Report: Farm
ers are awakening. to the fact that small
farm we'll titled is better than large
farm half titled. Stock and grass, dairy
products, etc., have taken The place Of
wheat growing, much to the benefit Of
farming interest. improvements in the
methods Of farming consist in more
general rotation Of crops plowing deeper,
carefully saving all the manure and ju-
diciously applying it, extending the
area of grasses and giving more atten-
tion to the care Of stock and the making
of butter and cheese.-Farmers have
commenced tilling (under- -draining)
their lands, and to good advantage,
farming less acres and doing il in bet
ter manner. The dairy interest lis Sc
curing marked attention; creameries
are increasing and doing prosperous
business. Improved breeds of stock
are increasing" ..
