Plowing.
There is not only a necessity to have
a good, sharp plow, hut thorough work
should l»c done with it. When we say
thorough work, our meaning is, the soil
should ho thoroughly pulverized, dis
solved into such fine particles that the
ground is fully and finely ground up.
The beauty and benefit of plowing is to
deepen the seed lied and bring the sub
soil into contact with the light and air
for chemical operations. One acre well
plowed is worth two lmdly done. In
doing this kind of work, stand like
n man souaro between the plow handles
with stitV arms, and do not permit the
plow to swerve from its course. Lift a
little oil your handles, with your eye
ahead of the horse, turning every inch.
And after using the plow, do not hang
it on the fence, or in a tree, to be ex
posed to the weather, but clean it well
and put it away under cover.

There Is no better fertilizer for plant

are willing to dispose of them at almost
any price. A ml not only cotton seed are
given away by farmers, or sold, but

get the same return for food consumed
as he usually gets for feeding through
the summer and autumn.
Fertiliser* for House IMnnt*.
Overwatering is the cause of much of
the ill health of plants. Frequently
plants are supposed to require some
stimulating fertilizer, when in reality the
trouble is too much water. When plant:

soil in in the pots is rattier n

For soft-wooded, quick growers a liquid

Why So ?
A correspondent writes asking why
farming is called a science and an art ?
As a. science it teaches why it is neces

Trust a Boy.
Luring the session of the late Episco*
pvl Convention in Boston, the Bishop of
Louisiana in crossing the Common, met
a boy whose face he fancied, and, call
ing him, asked if he had anything to do
just then, to which he said: "' T ”
‘No.’ 1
low scratched his head and replied:
“ I am not a very good boy. I cuss a
little sometimes.’’ That candid answer
inspired the Bishop with confidence,
and he then said, after giving his name
and address:
“ I want you to go to a certain place
and get a bundle for me, and bring it to
my hotel. There will be a charge of $8
n ounige ui ,
, . for it, and half
dollar which you will keep for doing
the errand.”
On his return to the hotel, the
Bishop's friends laughed at him for his
credulity, telling him that he would
never see the boy or the bundle or the
money again, but in half an hour the
young chap returned, bringing the bun
dle. and a receipted bill for 18.60, the
Bishop having made a slight mistake as
to the amount that was due. “ How did
you manage to pay the extra half dol*
lar?” he inquired.
“ I took the money you gave me for
the job. 1 knew that you would make
it all right.” And ‘‘all right” it wax
made, and I have no doubt the confi
dence that was reposed in that boy, be
cause of his truthfulneas, will do him
good as long as he lives.

upon a huge canvas.
He paused in his harangue, however,
when a Star reporter approached him
and called his attention to the following
paragiaph clipped from a morning
^*X^oung girl, who disappeared from Balti-
t a wcok ago, wan found yesterday, “dis
guised as a Circassian girl,” in a traveling show
at Newark.
‘‘Yes, she is inside,” said the man,
with a smile, as he finished reading.
“What! the beautiful Circassian girl
from Baltimore?”
“Yes.”
“Can I see her?”
“Yes, for ten cent*.'
The reporter paid the lea and »*■
ushered in. At the back of the room
behind a railing stood a young girl
whose pretty face was surmounted by a
mass of light brown hair which stood
on end after the fashion described by
the Ghost in “Hamlet.”
“What is this?” he asked of the girl,
by way of introduction.
“Python, the monster from the bank*
of the Nile,” she replied, with great
earnestness
“Did you run away irom home to go
with the show?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I could not live at home;
they treated me so badly; they could
not have treated a dog worse.”
“Wae your mother cruel to you?”
“My mother is dead, sir, and I lived
with my grandmother. She wants to
make people believe that she is my
mother when my mother has lain in St.
Peter’s Churchyard for three years?”

A Doff-Hatlng Poet.
Alfred de Musset always declared
that he hated dogs, for the reason that
twioe in his life an animal of the oagine
race had come within an acre of wreck
ing his fortunes. The first time was at
a royal hunting party when the poet,
Louis Philippe’s guest, when a bird was
flushed, fired and sent the Citizen-
King's favorite pointer to meet Cer
berus. The second time was when, a
candidate for the Academie, De Musset
went to pay the customary visit to an
influential Immortal whose chateau was
in the environs of Paris. At the mo
ment that the poet rang at the gate an
ignoble whelp of incredible ugliness,
covered with mud, rushed to meet him
with joyous barks and fawned upon
him to the detriment of the poet’s new
pantaloons. Disgusted as De Musset
was, it would have been perilous to
drive off the Immortal’s faithful dog, so
he was compelled to let the frightful
animal lick his hands, cover him with
caresses aud mud, and precede him into
the drawing-room. A moment later
the Academician entered. De Musset
noticed his embarrassment, at which he
was not surprised, considering the be
havior of the animal. They adjourned
to the dining-room, followed by the
dog, which, after giving vent to his
delight by various gambols and cries,
placed two muddy paws on the cloth,
seized the wing of a cold chicken and
began contentedly to devour it.
“ That’s the most abominable brute I
ever heard of,” thought De Musset, and
continued aloud, “You are fond ol
dogs.”
“But this animal here?”
“ I have only tolerated the beast be
cause it is yours, air F*
“ Mine?” said De Musset. “ 11nought
it was yours, which was all that pre
vented me from killing him 1”
The two men roared with laughter,

♦ant remark o!
■‘vening, as the
Prof. A. Bronson Alcott, of Concord,
Mass., is paying a visit to his nephew,
Charles A. Bailey, of this city. Prof.
Alcott ia a wonderful mau in many
respects. He was born near Concord,
November 29, 1799, .and is now in his
80th year. While still very young
he engaged in the business of peddling,
and from 1823 to 1839 was engaged in
school keeping. For the last forty
years he has stood first as an ideal re
former, aud the representative of a
school of thought and ethics, of which
be was one of the founders, in New
England. Since 1836 Mr. Alcott has
abstained from the use of animal food.
His long white hair hangs in flowing
ringlets over his shoulders; his eye is as
keen and bright as that of a man of
;y; his smooth shaven face bears but
le impress of his advanced age; lie
neither smokes nor chews, and to day is
perfect picture of sturdy health.
Mr. Alcott was troubled with deaf
ness, but is as bright and entertaining
in conversation as any man of the day.
In 1879 Prof. Alcott organized the Cou-
cord Summer School of Philosophy and
Literature and was chosen Dean of the
Faculty. He is n graphic writer and
has contributed largely to tho sound
literature of the day. Miss Louisa M.
Alcott, the well-known writer, who has
given to the world such productions as
“Little Men,” “Littlo Women.” etc., is
the daughter of A. Bronson Alcott.
Many of ner works have been translated
into French and German, and there are
now few living authors whose works
are to universally read. Mr. Alcott
left for Cole Creek this morning to visit
Mr. Bailey’s sister, and on Saturday
will leave for Cleveland. It is to be
hoped that the necessary arrangements
for a lecture by this noted man can be
perfected. Prof. Alcott has several
lectures on different subjects, and lie
would be certain to draw out a largo
and appreciative audience..

Adrico to Parents.
It is amusing to read the various and
conflicting instructions which writers
volunteer to parents respecting the care
and education of their children. In tho
latter particular is the conflict oi “ au
thority ” wonderfully marked. One
day the parent is informed, on such aud
such authority, tlmt the health of liis
offspring is being incurably impaired by
close confinement in the school room;
that more discretion should be exercised
in fixing the hours of study. Right on
the heels of this valuable advice comes
information from another “ eminent
authority,” like the following for in
stance:
The rush of our American life cuts
all too short the time of our young
people in school. Let them, parents,
remain every hour it is possible for
them to do so. The whole nation is iu
want of extended, thorough culture on
the part of our young people; and the
parents Are often more than half to
blame. The absence ot your boy
girl from ‘-lasses one day in a month is
quite sufficient to render fruitless all
the efforts of the teacher in behalf of
your child. The most brilliant instruc
tor is powerless to help a child who ia
absent one day in twenty. Send your
children. All of them l Everyday!
If parents giveall the different advices
met with daily any attention, it must
be a great satisfaction to them to know
that their action in the matter under
tho direction of Professor Snooks has
been in direct opposition to the ideas of
Professor Botch. Married people who
consider themselves unable to assume
he care of children, educational or
herwise, should never have any. This

The Carson (Nev.) Appeal says that
in 1878 the real and nersoual property
taxed in the State of Nevada was valued
at $28,246,010.39. This year the esti
mate is $28,78(5,047.27, an increase of
$540,037.88. These figures speak well
for the general prosperity of the State,
and show that while some localities
have fallen off in business and produc
tions, others have sprung up whose
S rosperity has more than balanced the
ccline. In 1878 tho tax was ninety
cents on the $100, and tho amount paid
to the State was $252,403.95. Owing to
a surplus of funds accumulated in the
Treasury tho rate was reduced to fifty-
five cents on the $100, and the returns
this year show $154,432.50.
A German radical
said thata man is what he cats, meaning
that his body and his brains are built
up out of his food, and ore, therefore,
'^e nr fine, according to what he takes
G alimentary canal.
