SKILLEuL CULTIVATION.


Skillful cultivation should be the
aim of everyone who raises plants
and crops. To make gardening
and farming probable, it is neces-
sary to have something in return
for every stroke that Is mado and
every dollar that is invested. Even
when only . few house plants are
cared for we expect to see grewth
and bloom IN repay for our care
If not, our interest in them would
soon be lost. We devote an acre
of land to q certain crop; it costs
for the season the interest for
year on the investment made for
it, besides the expense of prepare
ton, manuring, cultivatIng, har-
vesting, marketing, etc. Our crop
is but half what it might be, or
what good cultivation has proved
might be obtained. The time and
expense of preparation, OF sowing
and cultivation, have been as much
as for full crop, and the cost of
harvesting and other expenses but
little less but part of the land
was too wet and planting could
not be done early, as it should have
been, and on-the same account the
manure that was applied, though
there was not half enough of that,
could only produce partial effects,
and so, from these combined caus-
es, we get back the seasons work,
perhaps tho expenses and q little
more. The interest and expenses
were fifty dollars on the acre, and
returns all told, amounted to sixty
dollars, giving a profit Of ten dol
lors. At this rate per acre on the
whole place, with what 1t provides
for the table besides, with great
economy, one may, perhaps, live
for a while, and the land is grow
ing poorer, and the value Of the
first investment is lowered-the
place is running down. But at a
little more expense in preparation,
perhaps ten dollars on the acre,
enough to insure the best result,
making the whole sixty instead of
fifty as before, and the crop is twice
as great, and perhaps further en-
HANGED in value by its superior
quality. All of this success, then,
is proit-sixty dollars or more, in.
stead of ten-an amount that
makes prosperity and success, IN
stead of failure.-Vick's Magazine.

From malaria? In city and suburb, village
and hamlet, in the mining districts of the
West, the bottom lands Of the South, in re-
gions tceming with the fruits of husbandry,
in trackless wastes inhabited by half naked
savagcs, it exists. But travellers, soiourners,
old settlers, all who are liable to it, can up
root from the system the diseases to which it
gives birth, or prevent them, with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Chills and fever, bilious
rcmittent, dumb ague and aguc cake, are
each and all overcome by this potent and
searching specific 1t is not less eiIecacious
for liver complaint, dyspepsia and cpstive-
ness, ailments not unfrequently complicated
with malarial attacks. rheumatism, kidney
and bladder troubles, and want of vital
strength, are also remediableh by its persistent
use. Appetite and sleep, always seriously
impaired by the nervous disturbance and bill
liousness consequent upon fever md ague,
are invariably restored by the Bitters.

SCHEMES TO swINDLE FARMERS.

The agricultural department has
prepared and will publish in few
DAYS q complete expose of several
recent schemes that have been con-
cocted for the purpose of deiraud-
ing farmers. One of the most prom
inent of these schemes is known as
the Bohemian Oats SwIndle. This
gigantic fraud Originated several
years ago, in northern Ohio, and
succeeded in the face of repeated
exposure and denunciation. The
plan of operation is to sell to far
mers supply of seed oats at $40
per bushel, and take the farmers
note for the amount. They then
guarantee to sell a considerable
quantity of oats when they are
grown at the same rates rs are ask
ed for the seed. These notes are me-
gotiated after they are obtained,
and having passed into other hands
can be collected, provided the far
mer is worth the amount. 1t is
then found very difficult, ifnot i'm
possible, to collect anything from
the company that sold the seed.
The only plan to pursue is by It'll
cation, and, as the parties are not
often responsible, it Is impossible
to make collection. OF course, the
scheme is carried out for time in
good faith, and thus large num-
Der of people are drawn in. Then
the whole business suddenly col
Iapses while the farmers are simp-
ly left to pay the notes they were
foolishly led into signing. The
swindling firms in northern Ohio
have extended their business in
other States and drawn in many
victims. The agricultural depart
ment proposes to officially expose
these schemes and warn everybody
against them.

it will not do we'll in any state of
the south. 1t. like Kentucky blue
grass, is q pasture rather than a

meadow is its growth in connection
with red clover. 1t blossoms and
ripens at nearly the same time as
the clover and will keep the clover
from lodging.

New YORK. Dec 3.-O'Donovan Rosa
has prepared an elaborate article which
will appear in his paper tomorrow, in
which he gives the why and wherefore OF
his leaving the Fenian Brotherhood. In
this explanation he says he res igned be-
cause the Brotherhood objected TO his APP
pointing Rocky Mountain O'Brien and
John Murphy co-trustees with him as the
treasurer of the resources of civiliza-
tom Rosa thereupon wrote out his
resignation as head center, and handed it
to John Murphy, but Immediately re
ceived it back again. On November
% the auditing committee Of the Brother
hood brought Rosa in as Indebted 10 the
government in the sum of $&662." Rosa
saws that he had the money then TO settle,
but as the celebration of the Manchester
martyr day was that night, the settling up
was put off till morning"
This procrastiuation was what compelled
the Brotherhood to demand his resigna-
ton. Rossa's principal bone of contention
with the Brotherhood is the following sec
tion OF the constitutions
The first duty of the Fenian Brotherhood
is to perpetuate its own existence and 10
continue as permanent organ ization, un.
changed i'll name, until its object be fully
attained, and that the foregoing can never
be changed, nor can the Council Of the
+. b. ever allow an attack on Canada or
any other territory on this side OF the At
lantic, unless England be at war with
America - .,-.
