Experimental Farming
An experiment in agriculture hhould
l>e an intelligent question propounded to
nature, which will be intelligently an
swered if properly put. Thus, the mar
ket value of assimilable nitrogen in this
country is about thirty cents a pound,
and farmers and the manufacturers o!
fertilizers have experimented much to
learn what is the smallest j>er rent, of
this costly element that will answer when
combined with others that will secure
satisfactory crops of wheat, corn, cotton
and tobacco. The beet Peruvian guano
found twenty-five or tliitty years ago
contained from fifteen to seventeen jer
cent, of ammonia, or some lour or five
times the amount of hydrogen that Bal
timore manufacturers of manure give to
their commercial fertilizers. It is be
lieved this is an error perpetrated to saw.
I he c ost of nitrogen.
Some years since an eminent German
chemist, Hilldrigel, instituted experi
ments in plant growth to determine the
value of nitrogen in the form of nitric
arid and ammonia. The lowest quantity
he used was seven pounds to the acre; the
highest ciihtyfour. His results were
curious and instructive, .'■even pounds
increased :hr; yield a fraction over the
half of one per cent. (Mil). Fourteen
pounds gave a gain of 1.770. Ia this
experiment, while the plant food given
is only doubled in quantity the harvest
shows an increase of three-fold. The gain
in the crop exceeds the addition of
nitrogen up to fifty f ix pounds applied
to the acre. At this point the gain was
marly fourteen times greater than where
seven pounds were used ; yet fitly six is
not fourteen times seven.
Hilldrigel found that seventy pounds
cd assimilated azote, or nitrogen, gave
the maximum yield of wheat, Rixty
three of rye and thirty-aix of oats. The
question for solution is how to apply
manure of any kind in such quantities
l-er rod or acreage as will give the farmer
the largest and quickest return for his
labor and money investment in plant
food. If one’s fields lack ammonia,potash,
phosphoric, sulphuric and hydrochloric
acids, they need a compound fertilizer;
and this is the condition of most farms
long cultivated. A commercial fcrtil
izer sold at fifty dollars a ton. which has
only two or three per cent, of nitrogen,
is dear manure.
Farmers in sumo sections have lost
millions ol dollars by purchasing somo
vning they dijl not want. The prescrip
tion for their land was made to benefit
tire manufacturer ol a nostrum at the
expense of the tiller of the soil. We
live in an age ol quackery in every
industry and profession. Two hundred

Why Wheat Soil Fails
In the course of a sensible article on
the uses of wheat-straw, Mr. J.. A,
Hansen, id Mississippi, remarks:
i have also lately read several articles
on wheat culture, and among others, the
extracts trom the report of the commis
sioner of agriculture lor the state ol
Tennessee. The average production is
given as from five to seveu bu-hels |>er i
acre, with exceptional yields of as high j
as torty bushels. Does this not give i
material foraerious thoughts? Although ;
we will presume that many may have
sown wheat on -oil not properly adapted
to 'wheat, there can be’ no doubt that
these low averages have largely been
produced on soil which naturally is
wheat soil. It this supposition is cor
rect, wherein lies the fault! 1 have no
hesitation in saying that those fields
(the majority ot them) have been crop
ywt will) tttisttl year altar year for pen
erations, without receiving the proper
amount of manure, and that the straw
has bten stacked and burned in the
field to get rid of it. Sly reason
belieing this to be the tael in
Tennessee i because 1 have n-cu
that practice indulged in ytar alter year
iuothtr slates. In those states thirty
yeais ago, wheat would average from
twenty to thirty bushels jar acre, al
though the preparation ot the ground was
greatly deficient.
To illueliate this, 1 will mention that
J have seen wheat sowed from horseback,
because the weeds were so thick and high
that a man ou foot could not have dis
tributed the seeds at all. Alter thresh
ing, the straw was burned, and anew
crop of wheat sowed So they have gone
n ever since then, until the same soil
today will not return enough to pay for
sid and labor. That is the reason wbv
our wheat lands in general da not pro
duce n.ore than Irorn five to ten bushels
lr sole, whore they otherwise, if ma
nured properly and rotated, would have
increase.! in yield.
1 anew o: a grain-growing country iu
KurofH 1 where forty years ago the aver
age yield of wheat was not above twelve
bushels per acre, and to-day. according to
published statistics, the average yield is
thirty two bushels per acre. High cul
ture, judicious manuring and proper
rotation have worked this result. Why
not follow this example? They hatfe
increased the yield of wheat from twelve
to thirty- two bushels per acre, and we,
in the same time, have decreased this
yield from thirty to seven.
Pulveoration of ths Soil.
The average returns of cultivated crops
rosy he largely increased by a thorough
pulverization of the soil, because the
more a soil is pulverized, an<l the greater
the stale of division in which its parts
arc, the greater is its absorbent power.
The action of the hoc increases the
attraction for moisture, encourages the
circulation of the atmospheric and
nutritive gases, and thus, be the soil what
it may, adds to its fertility. Jiy the
mechanical operations of agriculture, we
divide and renew the surface, ami en
deavor to make every atom of the soil
accessible to the action of the carbonic
acid and oxygen of the atmosphere. In
this way we distribute the excess of
mineral food found at one spot to others
in which it fails, and thus enable anew
generation of plants to find everywhere
the materials which are indispensable to
their growth and prosperity.
The pulverization of the, soil by plow
| ing, grubbing, harrowing, rolling', hoeing,
mellowing, and other operations, is a
main department of agricultural labor,
and one which is far too much neglected
iby a majority of farmers. While tillage
cannot practically he oflered as a
substitute for manure, yet it quadruples
the effectiveness of the latter, livery time
the earth is broken by any sort of till
age or division, there must arise some
new “iiperfices of the broken parts which
never lias been open la-fore. Fibrous
roots, which alone maintain tho plant,
can t.ike in no nourishment from any
cavify, hence the necessity of so pulver
izing the soil that each particle can he
reached by the roots. The finer the soil,
the richer will it become and the more
plants will it maintain.
Succewtful cultivation can only bo
maintained tiy the ‘intermixing of air
with the will. Tho prenonce and circu
lation of tho air in the noil, in aa many
minute atreann and an largo aggregate
quantities an possible, is im|>ortant to
free and luxuriant vegetation. The
grand moans of effecting such aeration
are nueli as maintain tho porosity of the
soil. Air is thus supplied, howsver, not
only iu a direct manner by the atmos
pheie, but indirectly and quite as neces
sarily and ( fficiently by water. The fine
parts of the eartii are impregnated
throughout tlieir whole substance with I
the riche* contained in dews and gentle ;
showers, and in such soils the most weak
and tender roots have (roe passage to the
utmost extent, end have also an equal j
, un -ure. e.vervwin re giving the needed ,
contact with the minute particles oi
| earth. The suhj.'cl of the thorough
j pulverization of the soil demands in
| creased attention from every practical
agriculturalist.— | American Cultivator,
Hope for the Republic.
Ralph Waldo Kmerton lectured in
Hoslou, Tuesday night, oil the “ Future
of the Republic,” concluding as follows:
Young men must not be idealists alone,
but must have ideas. They must not be
d.i/./.hd or sun blind, but must have
j glimmer enough to keep from knocking
the'r heads against the wall. We want
men of originality who can also take in
the interests of the race and of civiliza
tion. They must be able to take a
forward step. Columbus was not a baek
leeling crab, nor was Luther, John
Adams, Patrick Henry or Thomas Jeffer- i
son. The genius of America is not slug
gard ; it is an incessant advance. Our
civilization is yet incomplete. It is not a
question ot whether there will be a large
number < f people herr.-tlmt is settled—
but whether we shall be anew nation, a ]
guide and law giver for other nations. !
To buy and import much goods from j
England and France does not make us |
better men. livery town and village
has its fashions and colleen from F.ng
land. America is provincial. It is an
immense Halif.ix. Our politics threaten
England, and her manners threaten us-
Our tendency is to make all alike and
< xtini'uish the individual. The builders
of Loudon give you your houses and the
Bishop of laindon your faith. And we
find that the passion for Europe easts
out the passion for America. Those who
support hoU'C* in Palin and l/tmlon can
be spared to go there and liye.
The new times need the new men. The
complements! morality is the object of
government. We want a state of things
in which crime will not pay; estate
which allows every man the largest
liberty compatible with the liberty of
every other man. I hope America will
come to have its pri If l in t<eing a nation
of s rvauts, not ot s< rved. The helm is
given to a letter guidance than our
own, and 1 have much faith in the future.
I t.s'! that in all directions the light is
breaking; that trade and government will
not lose by the ov. rill row of the ene
mies of mankind; that the useful and
the elegant will be exercised with us as a
nation; that reason, the noblest and
purest religion will find their abiding
home in our institutions.

11V GI KMC NOTES.
Bow I.EGH and knock-knees are gener
ally thought to arise from the afflicted
one having been made to stand tjo early
in babyhood; hut an English physician,
who has thoroughly studied the subject,
asserts that the former is the result of a
habit children have of rubbihg the Bole
of one foot against that of the other, and
often going to sleep with the two in con
tact. This never happens when the feet
are socked or slippered, so the preventive
of this life-long deformity is to keep the
baby’s soles covered. Knock-knees are
ascribed by him to a childish habit of
sleeping on one side, with one knee
tucked under tfie hollow behind the
other. To remedy this, therefore, pad
tho inside of the knees so as to keep
! them apart.
I wish to warn dyspeptics against
i trying Dio Lewis’ prescription, to go
! without a supper, far a cure I tried it
lor a short time but long enough to prove
: to me that if I hadn’t changed my ton re
at once, I shouldn’t he here now to tell
this story. For the first few nights I
dreamed the most horrible dreams that
ever visited the tortured brain of one in
the last stages of starvation. But the
road of the dyspeptic is a hard road to
travel, and I wouldri’ give in yet. The
last night of my trial I was awakened
outof convubions so strong that it was
a longtime before I could realize that I
was ready to go back to my old custom
of eating a light and early supper, which
the following day I did, and have ielt
better ever since.
Gr.OANi.NO and crying have found a
philosophic advocate in a French physi
cian, who maintains they are hisrlily
beneficial, especially in surgical opera
tions. He contends that these are means
by which nature allays anguish, and
that patients who indulge in them
recover from accidents and operations
more readily than those who disdain to
give wav to their feelings in this
fashion, ff people are at all unhappy,
therefore, let them seek comfort by
retiring to a secluded spot and there
indulging in a consolatory boo-hoo. The
crying of children, if systematically
repressed, may rerult in St. Vitus’ dance,
epileptic fits, or some other diseases of
tho nervous system, and should, there
fore, not be.to much di-couraged. What
is natural is nearly always beneficial, es
pecially in the case of the littleones.
Dr. Hii.t.'fl views in regard to the effi
cacy of food as medicine, when discrimi
natingly used, seem to be reasonable.
He relates the case of a man who was
cured of biliousness by going without
liis supper and drinking freely of lem
onade. Every morning this patient rose
with a wonderful sense of rest, refresh
merit, and a feeling as though the blood
liad been literally washed, Moltd, and
cleansed by tiie lemonade and fsst,
• ifi llmi tcxnl will V>e> Uw ‘d jjjj a
| remedy for diseases successfully. For
example, lie ins'antly cures the spitting
of blood by the use of salt: epilepsy aud
| yellow fever, by watermelons; kidney
1 ailed ions by celery ; poison hy olive or
sweet oil; erysipelas by pounded emu
lierrh s applied to the parts affected;
hydrophobia by onions, etc. So the
thing to do in order to keep in good ,
health is really to know what to eat, and
not what medicines to take.
Routs for the prevention of scarlet
j fever have lately been issued by the
! Michigan board if health, and as this
is one of the most contagions of diseases
it might be well to bear them in mind :
The first precaution is the isolation
of the sick from the well, and the
prevention of contact w ith the patient, j
The room should be cleared off all uu
necessary clothinc, carpets, or other sub
stances in which the poison may lurk
and be thence transferred elsewhere.
The patient should use rags in place of
handkerchiefs, so that they may be
burned. Body and bed linen should be
placed in vessels of water containing
chloride of lime ot similar substance.
Discharges should be received in a solu
tion of sulphate of iron or copper, and
be afterwards buried. Persons recover
ing from this disease should bo consid
ered dangerous as long as there is any
sealing of the skin, soreness of the eyes,
etc. Many other precautions are incuL
cated, all of which are considered more
or less important.
Negro lltnigratioii to Liberia.
Tlie Liberian Exodus steamship com
pany of Charleston, S. lias purchased
of Samuel W. Dabney for the sum of
$6,150 the barque Aad, four hundred
and twelve tons bunion, wKioh now lies
at Kike’s wharf, and is taking in a gene
ral cargo of stores and provisions for the
first party o r colored emigrants soon to
sail from Charleston to Monrovia. Liberia.
The vessel, which, during the rebellion
was called the “ Fredonia,” and sailed
under the British flag, is the same which
was once commanded by Capt. Burke,
who threw overboard a cargo of fruit,
while on a voyage from Faval. in order
to make-reom for the crew and pa;scn
ger* of a shipwrecked vessel. She is a
staunch and fast sailing craft, and has
been fitted up with accommodations for
two hundred emigrants. The vovage
from Charleston to Monrovia will occupy
about twenty rive days. Cue ot the
leaders ot the enterprise. Bev. A. F. Por
ter, president of the company, is in this
city superintending the dispatch of
the vessel. The movement, indepen
dent of all other c-ilonitation schemes,
finds support and material aid not only
in the Palmetto S.ate but throughout the
south, and sufficient encouragement has
been received to induce the company to
enter into negotiations lor the purchase
of one or two steamers of large capacity
to carry out this scheme of emigrati n
to Africa. The company was organized
in September last and duly chartered
under the laws ot South Carolina ter
forty-seven years. Thirty thousand
shares are being offered at ten dollars a
share, each shareholder, of course, hav
ing the purpose of settling in Liberia.
The company is allowed to increase its
capital to $2,000,000. The expense for
transportation from Charleston to Mon
rovia is $35. Each emigrant takes with
him six months’ provisions, suitable
clothing and implements of husbandry.
Most of those who are gfing have from
SSO to SIOOO in ca-ib, and are among the
most industrious and provident of the
freed men. The movement has the sup
port of the chrgv of the African Meth
odi-t church, and at the recent confer
ence rnen were specially ordained to go
out with the first party of emigrants,
which contains four mi-sionaries and
twenty five teachers. Most of the others
who are going intend to work on their
own farms, the Lib-risn government
granting to each colonist with a family
twenty-five acres of land, and to every
single man ten acres, the land being well
adapted to the raising of coffee, rice,
ginger, arrow-root and other crops, which
are very remunerative.—[Boston Jour

How to Consume Soup.
“ Dear Mr. Hawkeye, should one take
one’s soup from the side or the end of
the spoon ? Edward.” Oh, well, if
you’ve got so stuck up and proud that
you have to eat with a spoon, we don’t
suppose it makes any difference, but we
should think you would have enough
reverence for the good old days and the
grand old simplicity of the better times,
and take your soup as your father did ;
blow it until it is cold, then lift the plate
with both bands and empty it by steady
arid long continued suction, making a
flip; ing sound with your lips at the con
clusion ol the services to indicate to the
waiter that you are ready for the next
course. It is these uew rangied ideas
that are driving the old simplicity and
the old purity out of style and existence,
and crowding society to the edge of the
awful precipice that leans in
crumbling weakness over the dark and
fathomless abyss of corruption and de
struction.—[Burlington H ;• wkeye.

While much has been written concerning
the use of “put up ” medicine s, the ques
tion is still en open one, and demands of
the people a careful consideration. The sa
lient points maybe briefly stated, and an
swered ad follows : Ist—Are the sick capable
of determining their real condition, the na*
lure of their malady, and selecting the pro
per remedy or means of cure ? 2nd—Can a
physician, no matter how skiiful, prepare a
universal remedy, adapted to the peculiar
ailments of a large class of people, residing
in different latitudes, and subject to various
climat c influences? In answer to the first
proposition, we would say, diseases are
named end known by certain “signs’' or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
a physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping cough, or indicate a remedy, so
people when fiftlicted wiih many of the
symptoms concomitant to “impure blood/’
“torpid liver,” and “had digestion,” re
quire no other knowledge of their condition,
or the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition—Many physi
cians argue that diseases are sectionallv
peculiar, and that their treatment must
therefore vary, and yet quinine, morphine,
podophyliin, and hundreds of o'her reme
dies are prescribed in all countries to over
come certain conditions, is it not, therefore,
self-evident that a physician whose large
experience has made him familiar with the
runny phases incident to all impurities of
the blood, general and nervous debility, liver
complaint, dyspepsia, consumption an and
tarrh, can piepare a series ot remedies ex
actly adapted to meet the conditions mani
fest, wherever, and by whatever means, it
may have been engendered ? The family
medicines prepared by R. V. Pierce, M. P.,
of Buffalo. N. Y., fulfill the above requiie
ments. Many physicians prescribe them in
their practice. His Golden Medical Discov
ery has no equal as a blood purifier and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescrip
tion cures those weaknesses peculiar to
women, after physicians have failed. His
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are sugar
coated and little larger than mustard seeds,
ae a safe and certain cure for “torpid”
liver and constipation. If you wish to save
