Planting Time.
Spring time has come and with it an
occasional flash of spring weather, but
the fields and the forests have not don
ned their spring suits yet —still pre
senting a wintery appearance; but
plowing is going rapidly on now, and
the changed appearance of the surface
of tho fields on all sides shows signs of
the energy and thrift that lias always
characterized the people of this much
favored section.
The time for planting the various
garden and field crops has come and it
is now in order for each individual to
be discussing his or her particular phase
of the moon, position of the sign of
the zodiac, or time of the day for plant
ing each particular kind of crop. Now,
it strikes me that the wiser plan would
be to consider the quality and condi
tion of the land, the quality and quan
tity of fertilizers, and kind of seed to
be used, and the mode of future culti
vation. I look on these things and
the seasons at fruiting time as effecting
more particularly the results of plant
ing. Now it was the wisest of men
who said: “In the morning sow thy
seed, and in the evening withhold not
thine hand, for thou knowest not
whether shall prosper either this or
that, or whether they both shall be
alike good. He that oliserveth the
wind shall not sow, and he that regard
eth the cloud shall not reap,” etc.
God rules alike the destiny of Individuals
and nations.
According to Lis will, by unchangeable
decrees ;
And what he will not show us by direct rev
elation,
By all the arts of magic no mortal ever
secs.
Thoughts of all omens and signs, of witches
and of haunts,
Are only in simple, superstitious minds
conceived ;
The government of destiny by fortune, luck
or chance.
Are only by simple, superstitious souls
believed.
Such at least is the opinion of
Rukai,.

We heard a farmer recently say in
jan argument against the use of guano,
“If I knew I could sit down here at a

j other that realizes ten dollars profit ou
| a ton of guano. If I were going to

I not save me, therefore I will not use
it.” O, Logic, what jEolian wind
