rally the successful production of crop.
| Take hrst the fact that nest is required for
| the proper sprouting OF seed in the ground
As rule soils are cold in the spring, sesing
that there IL a great amount of evaporation
taking place from the surface, and If the soil
be undrained it is all the colder, as it is more
or lees Waterlogged. Into soil of this de-
scription the atmosphere can not we'll psne-
trate, but when drained the pores Of the soil
are Tree from water, and air naturally follows
on the principle that nature abhors 3
vacuum-thus air takes the place of water,
and consequently the land becomes warmer
and the points necessary for termination are
gained. The chemical changes which takes
place IN the seed while sprouting are OF
much interest; We shall, therefore, devote a
little space to their consideration. When
placed IN the soil the seed first
abeOTbs moisture, then swells aud sOftens; a
small quantity OF white albuminous sub.

called diastase, which converts the starch of
the seed into sugar, the albuminoids become
soluble, oxygen is absorbed. carbolic acid is
given of and beat developed. The rootlets
then descend through their shesths (in

terminate st depth of seven inches, but
may retain their vitality for a long time
The best depth for wheat is from one to two
inches, the largest percentage sprouting at
that depth IN from twelve to eighteen days.
Much of the failure in seed corn is due not
TO the non-vitalitY of the seed, but to the
condition under which il is planted. IL

Cure for FelOns-A CORES pondent says:
vi have had case OF fslon in my family
lately, and treated it successfully by steam
ing the whole hand with bitter herbs. 1t was
allowed to progress through ignorance until
badly swollen, exquisitely painful, and o; \
livid purple color. Being in the palm of thu
hand, it involved the whole hand and wrist
in the swelling. A handful each OF tansy,
hops, catnip and wormwood was thrown in
an old basin, q small quantity of tobacco and
half cuptul OF soap added and sufficient
water 10 cover. When boiling hot the hand
was placed over the steam, and q small
blanket was thrown over the basin to rstain
the steam which was applied until the mix
ture cooled. This was repeated day and
night until tbs pain was entirely removed,
which was in forty-eight hOurs. The reliet

get that, while some Of the mines pay
teamsters only $3.50, and can get hun

The NewI York courts have been de-
Gliding very novel cases recently, and
withal are promulgating some very
sound law. In a case at Rochester the
other day, in which a wife had brought
suit against another woman for alienat
ing the affections Of her husband, the
court rendered judgment II favor of the
plaintiff. Such All action is not directly
authorised by the New York statutes
hence the demurrer was raised that IL
could not be maintained. The judge
however, based his decision on principle
and common sense. He held that the
wife had just az good right as e husband
to redress for a wrong Of this kind. ut
is the failure of the husband to live
with his wife and his failure to support
her adequately" he remarks, (which
may be said to be the direct result of
the action of this defendant, and there

action cannot be maintained by a wife

strikes another link from the chain OF
thraldom with which a married woman
was bound by the old common law, and
places her on an equality with a man in
the courts. We confess we can see
nothing wrong in this decision. Ifthis
construction Of the law should become
universal, we should consider our civil.
ization had advanced a step higher.

eral of the business .nies. oS.sssrning the
coal claimed to have been found In this
vicinity. We are informed that among
those who seemed to take deep in
terest in the matter was Mr.. Garrestop,
one OF the most sagacious and enter
prlsing men of that city. As an out
come of the conversation between Mr..
Sherwood aud Mr.. Garreston, we learn
that an expert was sent here to investi-
gate the alleged coal field. On his re-
turn to Sioux City his report must have
been favorable, as two weeks ago q
gentleman said to be IN the employ
of Mr.. Garreston came up, and has
since purchased several farms and
tracts along the bluffs where the coal is
found Farms owned by w. III. Porter,
Mr.. Conrad, Mr.. Reynolds, Mr., Baker,
Mr.. Blsbee and others, amounting in all
to $40 or 600 acres, and for which was
paid over $500.
While the purchases of land were be.
ing made, it was reported that the OBJ
lect IN view was stock farm. This as
sertion was blind, the fact being, as
now stated to us by nnquestionable
authority, ttat the object in view is the
coal which underlies the bluffs.
10 WoShiu& VI tuAt COhl VClu III tlIueB
past by Mr.. Bisbee, Mr.. WernImont and
Mr.. Brewer shows that the layer became
thicker ana better as the bluff was pen
etrated, and that at distance OF
1876 feet from point of starting the quail
ty of the coal fully equaled much of
that to be found in Iewa. We are
informed that the purchasers of the land
will Immediately commence operations
and will sink shafts and drift into the
side of the bluff, following the vein,
which is about eight inches thick where
it crops out.
We believe that the proposed enter
prise will be one of profit to those en-
gagged in it. and of great value to this
part of the state. II paying yeia OF
coal ID unearthed it will be the most
beneficial discovery ever made in
Northern Nebraska.
AS to Ponca, the coal being within q
mills of il, extensive mining operations
will bring to this town railroads and
other enterprises, business will he great

big vein of coal is found, Ponca will in
size and business soon rival Sioux City.
