Messengers of Joy and Consolation.

The Newburyport (Mass.) Vanguard
says: g Instead of flooding the land
with blood, the National Temperance
Society has flooded with millions of
leaves of literature this and other coun-
tries, and these white-winged messen-
gers of peace have carried Joy and con-
ISOLATION to many home. While we
may not have the triumphal-arch, while
we may not rejoice in gold and silver
trophies, yet every man and woman
does rejoice because, through temper
ance and total abstinence, many man
has been led to the cross; and as we
look at the hundreds of them clinging
to that cross, we are satisfied that that
is our arch of triumph, and those cling
ing men and women are our trophies

Autograph1c Telesraphy,

New York Evening Post: Mr.. s. P.
Dennisop, of this city, has recently pat
ented telegraph instrument by which
messages are transmitted in fac simile
almost as fast as the message can be
transmitted by good operator in the
ordinary way by Morse key. The in
strument has been upon exhibi-
tim for several weeks in this city and
has attracted great deal of attention.
The fundamental principle of the ap-
paratus Is the same as that used in
all preceding instruments for the
transmission of message in fac
simile, namely the use of an ink for the
original message which shall interpret
the electric current. The message is
written upon the tin foil with an Ink
which forms complete insulation
wherever it makes mark. The new
feature of the apparatus is that instead
of q stylus which travels back and forth
over o line the width of the sheet upon
which the message is written, steep
point is attached to the end of vibrat
ing arm hung between magnets, which
swings back and forth across tape of
paper about the width of that used in the
ordinary "tickers." Each instrument is
provided with two of these vibrating
points-one for sending and the other
for receiving. Whenever the point pas.
sing over the original message upon the
tin foil meets with an ink mark, the
current is interrupted for the second,
| and black mark corresponding to the
ink mark upon the tin is made on
specially prepared paper on the end of
| the wire, The instrument ia far
more rapid than those which the Postal
Telegraph company had built
q few years ago. When the
receiving and sending needles are made
to swing over tape wide enough upon
which to write several lines instead oi
one, as at present, the speed will excel
that of the best operators working with
the old system. The advantages Of be-
ing able to send message in facsimile
are too obvious too need mention, be.
sides which the apparatus can be used
by two merchants ut distance without
the Intervention OF operators.

The address of the committee OF the
constitutional convention calls attention
to the prominent features OF that instru-
ment and will prove valuable as q guide

reduced. The address contains many
other excellent points and is we'll worthy

shod horse will slip worse on an 10y road than
a barefooted horse. A horses feet are like q
persons If they are shod, the foot becomes
tender, if they go barefooted the feet become
hard and tough. Where a horse has been
shod until the foot is tender, the shoes should
be pulled of as early in the spring as they
can be, after it quits freezing. II pulled off
in summer they cannot stard it.

Change. ofFIOras and Gra.se..

Prof. G. E. Bessey, in writing on the sub
ject of Plant Migration, gives instances of
certain plants that have disappeared from the
fora of Central Iowa, their places being sup
piled by new species. Plants that grew in
abundance by the roadside fifteen years ago
are now scarcely to be seen, being replaced
by the May-weed of New England. Then the
small feabane abounded on dry soils, but is
now rapidly disappearing. Mulliens have
begun to appear, and the squirrel tail grass
which once had no place among the Iowa
plants is now very abundant and has been
for the last ten years. The low amsranth
that was once very rarely found is now found
in great abundance and has also migrated
nortward fully one hundred and fifty miles.
Burr grass whichis decidedly offensive grass,
has also come in and is rapidly increasing
1t is stated by old settlers of Nebraska, that
buffalo grasses were abundant in the eastern
part of the state, but have retreated for q
distance of hundred or q hundred and fifty
miles and that they have been followed by
the blue stems which grow in great luxuri-
ance over the plains where twenty years ago
the ground was practically bare. The same
thing is also taking place in Dakota, con-
dition which is favorable to the stock grow
ing Industries of those sections.

Accidentally entering farmers garden, we
saw the owner working labohously with dull
hoe, destroying the weeds half a foot high
between bis rows of Strawberries, which he
might have ersdicsted two weeks before with
a steel rake, just as they we're peeping above
the surface, with one-twentieth of the labor.
With the dull blade of the hoe he was using,
he found it difficult to cut off the tough stems
OF the weeds without digging well into the
soil, and many escaped him. We took the
liberty OF placing the blade on the grindstone
for a minute or two and bringing it to a
sharp edge, when he was astonished at the
ease with which he shaved the smooth sur
face Of the ground, destroying every weed.
He had never shsrpened his hoe on a grind.

work was much better done, and at less than

ly in the season. and frequent grinding-say
once an hour or oftener-wll save great
deal of hard work. 1t is true that the hoes
wear ont faster in consequence, but the real
saving in labor is more than ten times the
cost Of new tools.
To give tools, therefore, their greatest Ell.
cheney, not only the best ones should be Sc
lected In purchasing, but they must be kept
in the best order. Never allow a steel imple-
ment to accumulate the least amount of rust
on the surface, in addition to keeping the
outing edge properly sharp. Those which
work with rapid rotary motion should be
kept well oiled. Every man who uses a
threshing machine or farm mill understands
the importance of easy running.
Implements for cultivation and tillage, kept
in the Rest running condition, are not only
easier for the team and for the man who
drives it, but they perform the intended labor
in more perfect manner. Cultivators and
horse hoes with teeth kept sharp and bright
are guided with greater accuracy, cut nearer
TO the rows, kill all weeds in their track, and
give handsomer and more thrifty crops.
