All farmers should know the impor
tance of the element called nitrogen, and
when they do not have commercial ma
nures which contain it, they should study
the modes of procuring it. Shading
lands and letting it rest, benefits it
Shade accumulates nitrogen, and res
assists in absorbing ammonia from tin
ntmostphere, ns well as the nitric acid
brought down hv electric showers from
the clouds. An application of plaster
of Paris causes plants to grow larger, and
thus accumulate more nitrogen from the
atmosphere. When green crops are plow
ed under, they show their fertilizing
plainly than when dry, 1k*-

is the hydrogen contained thercii

The corn crop of the United States, this
•ar. according to the last report of the
national agricultural department, ex
ceeds that of 1^78 by 150,000,000. In
the states and territories west of the
Mississippi river the increase is over 100,-
000,000.
The farmer should have improved nm*
liincry, learn the science of agricultural
hemistry, the proper rotation of crops,
the art of reeuivratmg depleted lands; in
fact, should keep up with the times
studying the science that unddHtes the
art of farming.
Mr. Young the great corn-grower of
Kentucky, who grows 100 bushels to
the acre, puts a field in corn two succes
sive years, then seeds it down and let it
remain in corn. All through his farm
ing he has never deviated from this
course. The corn is planted? »n hills,
and never more than four stalks are al
lowed to remain in each hill.
.Soils vary in their powers of absorbing
inanurial substances. Porous soils net
more powerfully in this respect than very
stiff, retentive elavs: although Prof.
Voelckcr has ascertained that there is
not very much difference between the
nbsorbtiyc powers of a sandy soil as com
pared with a calcareous or elav one;
while the general results of experiments
prove that sandy soils arc not equal to
loamy soils as absorbents of manure-.
But a soil has not an unlimited capacity
for absorbing inanurial substances. If a
solution of ammonia-phosphate, says
Prof. Cameron, be passed for some time
through a weighed quantity of soil, it
will after a certain time passthrough
unchanged, If, however, one pint of
solution of ammonia-phosphate l*cfilter
ed through a portion of the soil, the am
monia and phosphoric acid retained by
the latter will not even, except in very
small pait, Ik* removed by filtering
through the soil a pint of pure wi
This shows that the soil has a greater
power of removing ammonia from solu
tion than water has of removing an
nia from the soil.

An to Serpents (’harming.'
In imitation of the historicaflconoolnst
a scientific disillusionist, writing for tho
Popular Science Monthly, says that tho
belief in the power of a serpent to charm
■mall animals had its origin in super
stitious ignorance. The writer contends
that a snake has no such power and tlmt
what appears to be tho result of a
charm is nothing more or less than tho
last act of a well played tragedy. Tho
•nAkes fangs being thin and retractile
be says no effort is made to retain tho
prey after it is onced seized. Stealthily
the serpent creeps up to its victim and
inflicts tho fatal wound. The sure work-
ing of the virue, bbj-b the disillusionist,
constitutes the “charm.” Has tho cre
dulity of the world been imposed on for
centuries, or has the Popular Science
writer just begun to impose on the
world.

Where Corn la King.

Corn is king in Kansas, so far
Is concerned. They plant It by sot
miles, one might fairly infer, the fields
80 incredibly far-reaching; and if it
did not grow very much of Us own accord
it could not grow at atl, ns tho sheer
abundance of it forbids anything like
thorough cultivation. They aim to
plow it twice, though sometimes once
* Miwugu mnneunies once
to suffice, and where It has lieett sod
planted it is left untouched till it ripens;
and yet it thrives in a way that makes
folly of all rule and precedent; tho stalks
attain a sisc and height which give them
a resemblance to young forestsof hickory,
and the men with plows look lost among
them; and as for the ultimate yield in
pars and bushels, is it not proclaimed
everywhere In those graphic and seduc
tive land advertisements which tell how
Knnsas was ten years ago the twenty-
fourth State in the production of corn,
and is now surpassed by only three of all
labor of tilling la doubtless the chief
citing cause of this extensive recourse
to a crop, which, however bountoiua it
may lie, offers hut slender profit unless
fed to live stock; but I suspect that it is
rop that also has special favor With
their exactly realizing ‘the preference—
because of tho resoloute, imperious,
army-with-bnnners method it has of pos
sessing and holding the country. For
corn is by nature aggressive and deter
mined. The smuller grains feel their way
timidly in a primitive soil, and the
aboriginal verdure disputes every inch
of progress with them. But where this
autocrat of the cereals takes root it scorns
rivalry, and its sway is complete and eu-

the habit of handing down, from one

Prompters and professors of declama

The memory is more developed among
the peasantry than among citizens; nnu

From a physiological point of view,
memory is diminished by over-feeding,
by physical exercise, nnd by education,
in this sense, that the illiterate have po

know how to' read nnd write.

Uiianlinonly Elected.
In Prussia the voters elect electors
who elect the members of the national
parliament.
In one electoral district onlv one
voter put in tn appearance on election
day.
“ For whom who do you vote?” said
the roturhing officer.
“For myself!*
“ If elected will you serve as an elec
tor?’
“ No.”
“Then,” said the returning officer,
smiling at the str.TTigo simplicity of tho
man, “ I ^pust ask you the first question
over aga^ft. Whom do you vote for? ’
“ For^yself.
“ Oh/ then you have made up your
mind V* serve if you are elected.”
“ NA”
“Ih the name of Bismarck I adjure
you V^u chucklc-headcd ass,” yelled the
retinning officer at the top of his voice;
“ toil me, for the third and last time,
whom do you vote for, then?”
'The voter, with dignity: “Having
been thrice honored by my fellow-citi
zens with a unanimous election to this
important trust, after I had twice de
clined the honor they would thrust upon
me, I feel that I can no longer resist
their appeal, but must sneriflric* my per
sonal preferences to my anxiety for the
public welfare. I vote for myself and
will serve if elected!”
The “Nn Orthografy.”
When we adopt tho new style of

example, taken from the Whitehall

total amount of capital invested in b ht
construction of railroads since Stephen

Tho event that inaugurated tho expendi
