More Potash Needed.

amounts of potash from the soil, anG
these crops occupy a large proportion
Of our improved lands.
2. The urine OF our domestic AMI
mails contains about fOur-tifths of the
total potash of their eXcrements.

II ism Mistake

For farmer who owns good
home, to suppose, that when he has
made aud saved some money, what
he most needs Is more lands to pay
tax on. In reference to this matter
Texas Farm aud Ranch says: This
mistake is exaggerated when, in ODE
dience to this conviction, he buys
more than he ia able to pay for, and
must go in debt for considerable
part Of it. In q majority OF such
cases the poor wife ought to be
granted divorce with custody of
the children; for the debt means toll,
and trouble, yeXation and privatiOn
for her, and for the unfortunate chill
dren, it means labor, labor, early and
late, with but little recreation, little
schooling, no privileges except the
liberty to labor under compulsion
until young humanity rebels, and
another victim or two take IN the
town" The wife thought perhaps
she would get some new furniture or
furnishing for her house, a carpet for
her sitting room, a neat dress and
bonnet for herself, and q new suit Of

A Fruit Keeping Cave.

Very many of the most valuable
discoveries OF all time were the result
Of simple accident or stumbled upon
while in search Of something else
So it was with the finding OF Ameri-
ca and many great modern scientific
discoveries. Dr.. Love, who lives
near Glasgow, KY, has a cave on his
place in which he keeps fruit. He
lately exhibited at Princeton, Ky 4,
Il lot OF beautiful apples. They We're
plump and bright-having retained
their color wonderfully. Spectators
were Rstonished that fruit could be
so we'll preserved until 80 late in the
season. What then was their amaze
ment to learn that these apples We're
grown in the summer of lS90-three
years ago-and yet looked rs if just
taken from the tree. DR.. l.. himself
cannot explain il. The cave is built
in the limestone formation, and yel

supposed that these Influences IN
some manner operate rs preserva
tives. 1t has never been tested to
find the length of time apples will re-

worth a thorough investigation. A

clothes for each of the boys, and suit
able dresses for the girls With
what pride fond mother would
contemplate her entire family in pre-
seu:ablelattire at the country church.
How 1t would recompense her for
her days aud nights OF weary toll to
see home comforts gathering around,
and her little children happy and
hopeful. But this IL not the way IL
works. The farmer wants more land
so that he Cannot be fenced up
and ia full Of promises for the good
time coming when he has this "m0re
land" paid for. But before that time
arrives, the mammOn OF avarice,
thus encouraged, takes full posses
sion, and still more land is necessary
to peace OF mind, and the fate OF the
family Is sealed. The wife, denied
even hope for the future, wears out
and is laid aside. The boys having
grown up, shake the dirt that has
cost them so much, from their feet,
and emigrste. Then the farmer,
having grown prematurely old and
ratuous, can hug his title deeds to
his withered heart, and peter out a
life which he has neither means,
mind, nor ability to enjoy.
II he had been content with q suffi
cient farm, and had improved and
adorned it, made his home place
which all the family should delight
to inhabit-if he had surrounded il
with plenty, and filled it with beauty,
there might have been presented the
pleasing spectacle OF happy family
united around common hearthstone
each after having spent q good life
cheerfulIy answering the summons
to life that is better, having some
treasure at least, where moths MOI

With odor never known elsewhere.

A palace car is a cart to thee!

How Sheep Help Out.
Tie farmer who keeps sheep has an
important advantage over one who
does not, in the fact that he has some
thing to sell long before the farmer
who grows only grain can expect to
market anything. Wool sales fur
nish money Just when most farmers
find it hardest to get. 1t costs heavi.
ly TO put in crops, ard II part, at
least, of this expense is not paid in
advance, the store and blacksmith
bills and living expenses will take
most OF their values when grown. A
few sheep can be kept on any farm
of so acres, without really lesseniDg
the amount to be sold, as they will
eat much that would otherwise be
wasted.
sheep are especially valuable in
apple orchards To destroy the earliest
fallen fruit. Pigs will not eat fruit
until it begins to mature, but sheep
have a liking for the smallest and
greenest specimens. Sheep in winter
are the best customers for bean
straw. 1t il very heterogeneous food
aud makes a r CHI manure. For these
reasons every farmer should manage
to keep few sheep, and the fewer he
can keep the greater care he should
exercise to have them of the best. |!
is not the number of sheep but their
quality that gives the profit. Better
start with two or three sheep and
have them thOroughbreds than buy
lot Of moDgrel- whose produce will
be worth nothing above their price
to the butcher.

The cOnsentane Gus sentim ent OF the

The fees could be reduced somewhat,
and then be taxed, collected and paid

Judge is paid a salary of 50 800, while
many district clelk receives from

in towns and cities, many a justice re-

fees. The county clerk, however, has

luxuriates in fees. The trouble and
vice Of the plan Of paying officers by
fees is the constant temptation to
which they are exposed, of overcharg-
ing, and the impunity with which they
can generally do so adds 10 the temp
tation. The salaries could be kradu
