4 Valuable Train.

Perhaps the richest train that has pas
sed over any road in this part of the
country, says Western news paper,
was that which vent over the Hannibal
& St. Joe one day recently. The train
was composed of two cars of gold bull
lion, three cars OF silver, eight cars of
silk, and four cars of tea. The gold
and silver were from Colorado, and
destined for Philadelphia Mint. The
silk and tea were from California 60
ting to New York. A Philadelphia pa.
per, not to be outdone by the West
erner, claims that the longest train
ever seen on the Lehigh Valley road
was one that passed over that thor.
oughtare about the same time the
richest train was coming East over the
Hannibal & St. Joe road. 1t consisted
of I2S eight-wheel coal cars, all load
ed, andwas drawn by the same en-.
gine.-.Samtife .4merIcan.

The Corn Ground.

Corn ground should be plowed, il
possible, as soon as the weather per-
mits, as the action of the frost will
render fine and save labor of prepara-
ton later in the season. One mistake
usually made with corn is that of not
thoroughly pulverizing the soil previ.
Gus to putting in the seed. As The
ground cannot be planned before dan
ger of frost has passed, time may be
obviated by perform ing the work OF
preparation early, not only by blowing
but by frequent narrowing, II plowed
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and the land left in the rough
conoiuon without harrowing.) the
clods and Jumps will be torn to pieces
by expansion and contraction due to
heat and cold. The land may be left
until nearly time for planting, whic h
will give the early grass and weeds a
chance to terminate, when the pulver
izer and harrow should be used.
These implements should be passed
over the..ground until the soil is as fine
as is possible to make Tx.

Experiments on the Farm.

In the general farm and garden cul
ture, the opportunities for investigation
are endless, and the methods are SIM
pie. The trial of new seed; the varia-
ton oftime ofp!anting aid harvesting
TO determine best results; expert
ments with new or unusual crops, as
seed-raising, new fodder crops. such
as mlllet, sorghum, mustard, and
others; the effects of drainage; the val
ue OF special fertilizers, as lime, bone
dust, potash; the trial OF various rem
edies suggested for insect pests; the
methods for preserving posts and
other timber, the feeding and manage
ment of stock; ensilage; the production
of new varieties of vegetables, fruits,
grains, and fodder plants, by selection
and ii may be, by crossing the existing
varieties; the invention or improve
ment of agriculture implements, etc.
these are few of the many interest
ing branches of agriculture investga-
ton. Consider next the methods of
experiment. There are two great es-
sentials at the foundation: exact
measurement, and exact record.
Measure every thing, either by weight,
by dimension, by duration Of time,
and keep systematic record of every
thing. Add to this thoughtfulness, and
you have the whole secret of expert
mental science. Think what you desire
to ascertain, and direct your expert
ments accordingly. Think over the re-
suit of your experiment carefully, and
draw your conclusions. In deal
ing with CROPS, the customary method
is, to divide sufficient area of land
into carefully-measured plots, and use
each plot, the soil of which is left in
the natural condition. This last serves
as basis Of comparison with other
plots that have been variously fert-
ilized.-X. CLARK, in AmerIfan Agri-

CiOTer the Cheapest Manure.

The amount of green food in an
acre of clover IS almost INCREDIBLE, and
then, too, good clover sod furnishes
plant food sufficient for two crops of
wheaton good farm land. Practical re-
suits show that sucn a sod furnishes as
much plant food as ten to twelve loads
OF common barn yard manure. If the
clover is allowed to grow the first year
without paSturing, 1t IS estimated tina.
five to seven tons pei acre will be pro.
duced in tops and roots the second
year of It's growth. If not pastured but
mown, there will still remain in the
sod fully six thousand FIVE hundred
and eighty pounds OF vegetable ma t.
ter, even after it is dried. 1t is esti-
timated that the roots alone of well
set acre OF clover contains IS5 pounds
