Stop the Gullies.
Millions of dollars worth of soil is
annually carried to the. gulf from the
Mississippi Valley for want of a little
attention from fanners. Scarcely a farm
of any size can be found upon which
there are not great deep washes through
which the very life blood of the soil is
trickling away drop by drop. Such
places are not only leaks to the farmer's
capital, but are eyesores that destroy the
beauty of the farm. They can be easily
checked by first making a dam near the
end of them so that the silt may find a
lodgment, Upon this let herds-grass
he sown and some plum bushes planted.
Let a second dam be built higher up
and the grass sown and bushes planted.
Let this be continued until the begin
ning of the gully is reached.
An ounce of preventive however, is
better than a pound of cure. If the
land is well and deeply plowed and pains
taken to check the first beginnings of
washes there will never beany necessity
for constructing dams, or planting bushes.
We know fields that have been culti
vated for half a century, and although
they are very rolling, yet not a sign of
wash is discoverable in them. They
have been subsoiled from time to time,
and plowed deeply every year when in
cultivation, so that the topsoil was not
washed away with every heavy rain.—
Occasionally one of these deluging rain
storms may do an immense amount of
damage by carrying away the soil, but
such storms can no more be guarded
against in taking steps for the preserva
tion of our lands than the great hurri
canes that sweep away houses and cities,
can be guarded against in the construc
tion of houses, We were painfully im
pressed witli the necessity of checking
little washes, in walking, a few days
since, over a field that we knew twenty
years ago. At that time, there were a
few small gullies making through it to
a large pond. They did not exceed two
or three feet in depth. The leading
ones are now from ten to fifteen feet
deep, and from twenty to twenty-five
wide, and great numbers of smaller ones
make into these of a depth so great,
that the work required to stop them
would be worth five or six times the
land. From twenty acres or more the
soil has been swept down these washes
into a place that it can never be of any
benefit. And the amount of damages
dees not stop here. A large amount of
stock was running on these twenty acres,
and their droppings are taken by every
rain to the pond to contaminate its wa
ters, and to lessen the products of the
farm. Now the owner of this farm is a
prosperous man. Ilis crops are large
and income great, and in justice to him
it must he said, that this field was past
redemption when lie came into posses
sion of the property. But the thought
suggested itself whether it would not
add greatly to the value of the prop
erty to expend a thousand dollars or
more iu reclaiming a field as far gone as
even this one. The saving in manure
would more than pay the interest on the
expenditure, and the improvement in
the appearance of his farm would be
worth the amount expended.
Our farmers do not pay attention
enough to the preservation of their real
estate. The low price of land in the
early settling of the State induced the
pernicious habit of clearing and wearing
out the lands, and the custom has been
transmitted from father to son. The
time is at hand when such a system
must be abandoned, if not from princi
ple, at least from policy. Good lands
and timbered lauds are becoming too
scarce for such a system to be longer
practiced. Take care of the land and
fhjdit the gullies.— Union & American.
Milk Sickness —What is it?
Public opinion is very much divided
>»n this dreadful disease, while the deci
ples of Esculapius-arc not better agreed.
In fact the poison generated is of such a
subtle nature that chemistry' has not
been able to detect it, and that it is ca
pable of self-propagation which uo poison
known to the profession is. One pound
of the flesh of a dog that has eaten of a
milk sick cow contains as much poison
as a pound of the cow from w hich he
ate; aud a vulture to eat of his flesh,
would be poisoned to the same extent,
and so ad infinitum. One thing,clearly
ascertained, it acts with more power on
the human system from drinking sweet
milk or eating butter, while heat to
some extent destroys the poison; aud also,
it may remain in the system a consider
able time before any inconvenience from
it is experienced, and that some consti
tutions are not susceptible to it; aud
that there are two conditions of systems
which result from its action : one char
acterized by a dark tongue, the other a
white j but obstinate constipation and
incessant vomiting in both,with shrunken
features, cold extremities, aud a peculiar
disagreeable odor, a mixture of chloro
form and mercurial salivation. Hotel
poisoning and unknown diseases that
occur in our large cities would be no
longer a mystery if they knew where
their butter or cheese came from : for it
is understood in the infected districts,
that some people who are afraid to eat
themselves have no objection to t-hc pub
lic eating. “If the milk kiM m y
calf tho butter may not fctfrt any body
in Nashville. If it does I’ll not know
it, and so much framed.”
m;r what is IT?
I had lost considerable sleep waiting
on a number of milk sick patients.
One of them was a lady, and pulseless
at times, and my anxiety about her
caused me to fall into the following traiu
of thought: A large white cow was
badly miik-sicked. I reach forth my
hand to take some of her steak when
the largest, rustiest and noisiest rattle
snake I ever caw coiled himself up in
her maw. with head and tail erect, his
tongue darting between his teeth, out
of which issued a constant stream of
poison which penetrated the cow’s flesh,
of which I was about to partake, when
with the quiver of liis tail and extra
bound toward me, I withdrew my hand
in horror and awoke to find it a dream.
I gave that patient plenty of hot whisky
and white of eggs. She recovered. I
have given it to others; they recovered
and I shall continue to give it, believ
ing it to be as good for milk-sickness as
for snake bite, The constipation should
be remedied by triple doses of castor
oil.—[Dr. I. D.] Union & American.

Plow Deep.—A careful observation
by the farmer will soon convince him
that plants thrive best where they stand
upon deep and pervious soil; one which
rain water, and also the air and sun’s
rays can readily penetrate. The roots
of plants travel in search of food, and
on so doing, if they approach a dry,
compact soil, they will turn aside and
seek a way which is more easily pene
trated. and that way will be one which
will usually be moist and afford the most
food.
We are clearly of the opinion, that
soils which arc made up of less than
fifty per cent, of sand, drained and
plow T ed twelve inches in depth, finely
pulverized and well manured, will bring
a fair crop any year, be the weather w T et
or dry.— -N. F. Farmer:
Fleas in a Barn-Yard.—A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
turns his sheep into his barn yard if lie
wants to get rid of fleas. The wool soon
gathers them, they do the sheep no harm,
get well greased, crawl out of it, and in
stead of hopping about they fall to the
ground
M
Take Your County Paper.
“ Well, Squire, you say you don’t take
your county paper."
“ No, Major, I get the city papers on
much better terms, and so I take a couple
of them."
“ But. Squire, these county papers are
a great convenience to us. The more
we encourage them, the better the editor
can make them."
“I don’t know that they arc of any
convenience to me."
“ The farm you sold last spring was
advertised in one ofthem, and you there
by obtained a customer."
“Very true, Major, but I paid three
dollars for it."
“ Now, if your neighbors had not
maintained that press, you wolud have
been without the means cf publishing
your daughter’s marriage, and your
brother’s death, last summer." •
“Yes, yes, but"—
“And your nephew was a candidate
for the legislature; you were highly
gratified at his newspaper defense, which
elected him, and cost you nothing."
“ Y es, y-e-s, but these things are
news to the readers, and make the people
take the papers "
“ No, no, Squire Grudge, not if they
were all like you. Now, I tell you,
Squire, the day will come when some
body will write a long eulogy on your
life, character, etc., and the printer put
it in type, with a heavy black rule over
and under it, and with all your riches,
this will be done for you as a grave is
given to the pauper. Your wealth, lib
erality, and all such, will be spoken of;
but the printer, as he spells the words in
arranging the type, Avill remark : poor ,
mean devil- k he never took the paper, and
is now even swindling the printer out
of his obituary notice after Inc is dead.
Good morning, Squire.
The Work of the Scissors Man.
—Most people think the selection of
suitable matter for a newspaper the easi
est part of the business. How great
an error. To look over fifty exchange
papers daily, from which the question is
not what shall, but shall not be selected,
it no very easy task. If every person
who reads a newspaper could have ed
ited it, we should have less complaints.
Not unfrequently it is the ease that an
editor looks over his exchange papers in
search of something interesting, aud
finds absolutely nothing. Every paper
is dryer than a contribution box, and
yet something must be had—his paper
must be out and something must be in
it, and he does the best he can. To an
editor who lias the least care in what he
selects, the writing he has to do is the
easiest part of his labor. Every sub
scriber thinks the paper is printed for
his own benefit, aud if there is nothing
that suits him it must be good for noth
ing. As many subscribers as an editor
has, so many tastes he has to consult.—
One wants something very smart and
sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and
frolic, and his next door neighbor won
ders that a man of sense will put such
stuff in his paper. Something spicy
comes out, and the editor is a black
guard. Next comes something argu
mentative, and the editor is a dull fool.
And so, between them all, the poor fel
low gets the worst of it. They never
reflect that what does not please them,
will please the next man ; but they in
sist that if the paper does not please
them, it is good for nothing.
Freemasonry.
Visiting Brethren.
3lasonry teaches brotherly love, not
: kne to the individual members of cues
own lodge, but to all men who are Ma
sons. If there is any time especially
where brotherly love should be displayed,
it is at the reception of a visiting brother.
A stranger knocks at your door, far
from home; no one to vouch for him,
he asks to be admitted, and desires to
be examined ls to his worthiness.—
From time a creditable examination lias
been passed, he should be a stranger no
longer; he should be made to feel that
he is among brothers and friends. A
courtesy goes a great way to a man away
from home and friends; it warms his
heart and strengthens his faith in the
goodness of his fellow-men.
Selfishness and exclusiveness have
managed in unguarded moments to creep
into some Masonic Lodges. A visitor
is not at ease for a moment, from the
time he interrogates the Tyler, to the
time he leaves the lodge He is made
to feel as though he were an interloper,
tresspassing on the domains of others.—
It is too often the custom to pass a
brother by the Tyler, after a favorable
report from the examining committee,
and then forget all about him. This is
entirely wrong; it is unmasonic, dis
courteous to the visiting brother, and
heathenish altogether. It should be
the especial business of all members ofa
lodge, when “called from labor," to look
up visiting brethren, speak to them, and
show an interest in those whom they
have acknowledged to brothers, by ad
mitting them to the lodge. This should
not be performed as a duty—as a disa
greeable job that has to be done —but
as a pleasure, and, to a man fit to be a
Mason, it will be a pleasure. Any one
unwilling to carry out the principles of
Masonry, lias no business to apply to a
lodge for admission. No man can really
become a Mason without first being
properly prepared in his heart.
We wish the members of some of our
metropolitan lodges could visit lodges in
other parts of the world —say, in India,
China, Australia. The true, brotherly
reception they would meet with, w T ould
learn them a lesson they would be many
days in forgetting. Too many men be
come Masons for selfish motives. They
join the lodge with the expectation of
receiving a benefit, or benefits, and their
selfishness so befogs their understanding
that the lessons of charity is not learned,
and the sublime principles of Masonry
are never understood. Would it not be
well for our lecturers while incalculating
the “standard" work, to try to instill into
the minds of the brethren some of the
great moral principles which uphold the
structure of speculative Masonry ? Mas
ters might, with benefit to themselves and
to their lodges, study on the true mean
ing of the ritual. It is not enough to
be word-perfect in the performance of
the work, but it is necessary to under
stand the spirit of the words; for he
who does not speak with the understand
ing, will fail to convey to others the
true meaning of the beautiful allegories
which form the bode of masonic work.
We are of opinion that, if the word
brother was studied a little more, we
should have better Masons, and a more
cordial receptions of visiting brothers.

At the revival of Masonry in 1717,
a curious punishment was inflicted upon
a man who listened at the door of a Ma
sonic meeting in order to hear the se
crets. lie was summarily sentenced
•‘to be placed under the eaves of an out
house while it was raining hard, till the
water ran under the collar of his coat
and out of his shoes." The penalty was
inflicted on the spot, and the name
eavesdropper has been perpetuated ever
since.— Craftsman.

There is nothing belonging to the
ethical system of Masonry but what may
be published without a violation of our
obligation to secrecy. The moral im
port of our symbolry may be, also ex
plained. It is merely the ceremonial
work that is secret. —Kentucky Free

As Masonry, in the beginning was
purely au operative Craft, employed in
the physical labors of building super
structures of stone females not partici
pating, so the instructions of Ancient
Masonry are only suitable to the male
sex.
