The advocates of deep cultivation
will read with satisfaction the following
remarks made at a recent meeting of the
Maidstone (England) Farmers' Club :
Mr. Barling said lie would confine
his remarks chiefly to the principle of
ploughing. Plougiiing was a mechani
cal action, which was to bring about
another action—a chemical action. A
remark had been made that evening to
which he attached much weight. It
was possible to cultivate well without
ploughing—that was, that by moving
the soil sufficiently, they could bring
about fertility without ploughing. It
was thus brought about. The organic
matter within the soil was capable of
being dissolved and brought into a solu
ble condition, if it be sufficiently expos
ed to the oxygen in the air ; but if they
kept that orgainic matter sealed up by
earth—it might be kept as many gener
ations as they like—they could get noth
ing from it. The more they broke the
soil and let in the oxygen of the air,
the quicker would the organic matter
which they or perhaps their grandfath
ers had placed in the soil, become solu
ble and the food of seeds which had
been placed in that soil. The question
of steam plowing as against horse plow
ing seemed to come to this—it did not
matter how they plowed, whether by
animal force or the force of machinery.
They might plough by turning over the
sod or by breaking it up, but whatever
they did, the object was to let in the air.
In advocating deep cultivation, Mr. Bar
ling said that if they broke the soil low
down—he did not say turn it over—
they altered the condition of that soil;
they rendered it warmer upon the whole.
If they laid the thermometer on the
land, it would be found that the better
and the deeper the soil was broken up
the warmer would be the land, and
temperature was one of the elements
favorable to the life of plants.
Mr. Paine has remarked that they
could not get rid of the water by deep
cultivation ; but it would be better dis
tributed, and land that has been thor
oughly and deeply worked would, gener
ally speaking, be moist, but not sur
charged with water. Moisture was one
of the elements upon which vegatable
life so greatly depends; an excess, was,
however, harmful, but a certain quanti
fcy was needful. The land being warm
er and moister, must, on principal, be
greatly changpd by deep cultivation.

Evergreens as a Wiuter Protec
tion. *
It is perhaps not generally known
how much protection is afforded to ten"
der vegetation by the presence of hardy
evergreens, either as hedges to screen
from cold and drying winds, or by their
overhanging branches to arrest excess
ive radiation of heat. It is astonishing
to see what apparently trifling protection
will save the life of plants which are sure
to be killed in more open and exposed
places. A few dried bushes or a hand
ful of leaves, a sheltered fence corner,
or the shade of a large tree, will often
suffice to carry tender plants through
the winter. A few green pine boughs
set upright around some Eucalyptus
trees in two of my neighbor’s gardens
have effectually saved them this winter.
The protection afforded by a mass of
evergreen foliage seems to be more than
a mere screen, or what would be afforded
by an overhanging shed or dried straw.
Perhaps the living leaves may modify
the temperature in some way wo are ig
norant of. Certain it is that many
plants will survive the severe cold of
winter when thus protected, which are
almost invariably killed when out in
perfectly exposed localities. —Rural

A Word to Farmers.
Never keep your cattlo short. You
can’t afford it. If you starve them they
will starve you; besides, it is wicked.
Be merciful to your beast.
Never hoe a great field for a little
crop, or mow twenty acres for fivo loads
of hay. You can’t afford it.
Enrich your land nnd it will pay you
richly.
Take care of your tools, spades, shov
els, rakes, hoes, pitchforks, &c., &c.;
keep them housed when not in use.
Above all things, cultivate your heart
as well as your soil; “ whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap."
Keep notes of all the remarkable
eveuts.
Never build a spacious barn till you
have something to put in it.
Good fences will always make you
good neighbors.
Cows fed well in the winter, give
more milk in summer.
Inportance of Testing Seeds.—
An experienced corn grower can gener
ally give a pretty safe opinion as to
whether corn will be good for seed -
There are some special marks which
help to determine this question of vi
tality, but when it is so easy to deter
mine the question definitely by planting
a few kernels it is not wise to run even
a slight danger of being mistaken. In
a less important degree the same is true
of garden seeds. We strongly advise
taking a few seeds of each kind to be
planted, counting them, and planting in
a box of good earth, kept in a warm
room and watered as needed. In a few
days the plants will appear, and if all
or nearly all the Beeds have germinated
vigorously, the quality of the seed may
be considered positively settled. This
work should be done promptly so as to
get another assortment if thatou hand
proves defective Western Rural.

Balky Horses*.
A correspondent gives some of his
experiences in this line, as follows : In
1855 I was forced to go ten miles be
hind a horse said to be “somewhat in
clined to balk." He went on nobly for
two mileI*, 1 *, but about the middle of the
first hill stopped. I remained quiet,
and wondered if that was the first in
clination to balk. Alter a few minutes,
I said “go along," and pulled gently on
the reins. His ears went back, and all
four feet settled firmly upon the mother
earth. I had heard of turning balky
horses around to start them, and so com
menced pulling on a rein to turn him,
and said “go along," and the beast turn
ed willingly, and so I “swung him round
the circle," and faced up hill again,
and he went to the top and onward, un
til he again concluded to stop and reflect.
I turned his head homeward, and en
circled his thoughts thirteen times in
that ten miles, but I beat him at his
own tricks, and never struck the spirit
ed animal a blow. He was driven back
by another person who had heard my
story with some ridicule, and said “he’d
break that spirit in him or kill him.”—
He, however, broke both hill, and led
the horse six miles, for go ahead of the
man he would not. Spiritless horses
hardly ever balk. Like spirited women
you cannot drive them, but you can
“swing them round the circle," and thus
keep on life’s journey togethe— i. e., af
after a fashion. YV. F.H.
“Picking the ears" is the most mis
cheivous practice ; in attempting to do
this with hard substances an unlucky
motion has many a time pierced the
drum and made it as useless as a pierced
india rubber life preserver; nothing
sharper or harder than the end of the
little finger, with the nail pared, ought
ever to bo introduced into the ear un
less by a physician. Persons are often
seen gndeavoring to remove the “wax"
of the ear with the head of a pin ; this
ought never to be done ; first, because
it not only endangers the rupture of the
ear by being pushed too far in, but if
not so far, it may grate against the drum,
excite and an ulcer which
will finally eat all the parts away, es
pecially of a scrofulous constitution ;
second, hard substances have often slip
ped inland caused the necessity ol pain
ful, dangerous and expensive opeiations
to fish or cut out; third, the wax is
manufactured by Juature to guard the
entrance from dust, insects and unmod
ified cold air, and when it has subserv
ed its purpose it becomes dry, scaly,
light, and in this condition is easily pnsh
ed outside by new formation of wax
within.
Eggs a Healthy Food.—An Eng
lish paper earnestly recommends an in
creased consumption of eggs as an im
portant article of daily food. It as
serts that this ingredient of diet is an
unmistakable promoter of longevity, and
that practical advocates of the system
will live to be eighty or ninety years
old. It give a still higher incentive to
a liberal consumption of eggs, for it ad
vises their use for all persons who are
deficient in brains, as the phosphorous
forming a large constituent in the egg
will strengthen and develop the brain
force. The same authority gives excel
lent advice as to the different ways in
which this desirable article of food may
be made palatable. Hard boiled eggs
and brown bread and butter make ex
cellent sandwiches; eggs spread on
toast make an appetizing dish; and
poached eggs, or those dropped from
the shell into hot water, form a delicate
morsel for an invalid.
The Teapot Assailed. —The Jour
nal of Chemistry asserts that tea is not
the simple harmless beverage that is
generally supposed; but that its effects,
in their character, may rightly claim to
be classed with those of tobacco and al
cohol. The Journal of Chemistry adds :
“Many disorders of the nervous system
are the direct result of extensive tea
bibbing. Tea is a ‘naucrotic poison ;’ its
essential principle, therein, is allied in
composition and properties, with strych
nine and morphine. It first excites the
nervous system and then exhausts it.—
Experiments show that, both in man
and in other animals, it impairs power
in the lower extremities ; so that it ef
fects the ‘understanding’ in a double
sense—literally as well as figuratively.
It is not the harmless cxhilarent it has
been considered, but a powerful agent,
whose effects are often serious."
——
A Hint About Looking Glasses.
—lt is a fact well worth knowing, but
which does not seem to be generally un
derstood, that the amalgam of tin-foil
with mercury, which is spread on glass
plates to make looking-glasses, i3 very
readily crystalized by actinic solar rays.
A mirror hung where the sun can shine
on it, is usually spoiled ; it takes a gran
ulating appearance familliar to house
keepers, though they may not bo ac
quainted with the cause of the change.
In such a state the article is nearly
worthless, the continuity ot the surface
is destroyed, and it will not reflect out
lines with any approach to precision.—
Care must therefore bo exercised in
hanging mirrors so that the direct rays
of the sun shall not fall on the glass.
Preserving Strawberries.—Gath
er and handle the fruit carefully, taking
them in the early part of the season, as
they are then the finest and most perfect
berries. Stem, weigh, and place on dishes.
To one pound of fruit allow one and a
half of the best white sugar ; sprinkle
over them half or more of the sugar,
and let stand some hours, or over night
if gathered late. Put on fire in close
bell-metal or porcelain kettle, with re
mainder of sugar. Boil and skim about
twenty minutes or until syrup thickens,
and first looks transparent, using, du
ring the process, a “silver" spoon, and
avoid mashing. Seal up immediately
in air-tight cans; if glass, wrap in pa
per to exclude light.
An Irishman with a heavy bundle on
his shoulder, riding on the front of a
horse-car was asked why he did not set
his bundle on the platform. He re
plied : “Be jabbers, the horses have
enough to drag me. I’ll carry the
bundle." 3

Commendatory.— “ Having, from our long
acquaintance with J. E. Foster every confi
dence in his integrity, we feel justified in
saying we believe he will carry out. his Dis
tribution honestly and fairly.” Signed by
the Mayor, Hon. T. J. D. Wilson, and the
City Council.
That old and reliable paper, the Houston
Telegraph, which rarely condecends to no
tice individual enterprises, says of the First
Drawing:
“ Not even the most captious and unspect
ing person could take exceptions of the man
ner of the drawing. It was fair, honorable
and equitable.
“The committee and recorders were of
our very best citizens, and kindly gave their
time and labor to the superintendence
of the drawing, or rather did the actual la
bor of it.
“Capt. Foster has acted honorably and
fairly throughout the whole management of
this enterprise. While some money has been
made by the venture in all probability, yet
the property given as prizes has oaly netted
a fair price, and the property for cash.”
That staunch Democratic paper,the Hous
ton Age, has the following :
“THE COMMITTEE
of gentlemen was one of the best that could
have been selected by the audience. lion.
D. U. Barziza, who supervised the dr wing,
is our Representative, and one of the mo3t
popular men in the district.
“ THE I RA WING
was prefaced by an explanation fro n Capt.
Foster, of the mode adopted. This was well
receives and understood, precisely as ex
plained by the circulars. Capt. Foster said
he wished all his home people good luck, he
was yet free to say that with the people of
poor Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina, he felt a greater sympathy, and
he did hope they would draw the largest
number of prizes, that they might come to
a free country, and make a white man’s liv
ing. This sentiment was received with loud
cheers.
“The drawing was then proceeded, and
the result is announced elewhere”

THE SUN !
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875
The approach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events and
developments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully and fearless
- 17-
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained
a circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and its quality is well
known to the public. We shall not only en
deaver to kocp it fully up to the old stand
ard but to improve and add to its variety
and power. J
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to bo
a thorough newspaper. All the new- of the
day will be found in it, eendensed when un
important, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, treated in a clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY' SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be full of entertaining and appropriat
reading ot every sort, but will print nothing
to offend the most scrupulous and delicate
taste.. It will always contain the most in
teresting stories and romances of the day,
carefully i elected and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature in the WEEKL Y SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and
useful to the farmer.
. -^ e number of men independent in poli
tics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN
is their papir especially. It belongs to no
party, and obeys no dictation, contending
for principle, and for the election of the
best men. It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It
has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favot s
from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fash
ions are regularly roported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages,
and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays
the expenses of paper and printing, we are
not able to make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make special
efforts to extend its circulation. Under the
new law, which requires payment of pos
tage in advance, one dollar a year, with
twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not
necessary to get up a club in order to hav©
the WEEKLY' SUN at this rate. Any one
who sends one dollar and twenty cents will
get the paper, post paid, for a year
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN. —Eight pages,
fifty-six columns. Only $1.20 a year,
postage prepaid. No discounts from this rate.
THE DAILY SUN. —A large four-page
newspaper of twenty-eight columns. Daily
circulation over 120,000. All the news for
