AGRICULTURAL.
ApDlication of Ashes.
Ashes are so valuable a fertilizer foi most
all soil, especially for light, dry and sandy
soils, that they can hardly be applied amiss,
put on at almost any season and in almost
any manner They are highly valuable as
a top dressiug for grass lands, for small
fruits, for Indian corn, applied alone ; and
likewise from a most important ingredient
in the compost heap. Twenty bushels of
leached ashes and ten of unleached per acre
form a good dressing for grass lands. Ex
periments at the Maine State College farm
show that ashes were more lasting in their
effects on grass, than any other fertilizer
applied. The soil was a strong clay loam.
We have been general rather than definit
in speaking oi the quantity of ashes to be
used per acre. Before having been leached,
wood ashes contain about eight and one
half per cent oi potash, but the leaching
takes out nearly all the potash, possibly
one or one and a half per cent may be left,
and some other soluble matters. It is true
that a few soils may be so charged with
potash that crops growing on them will not
be markedly increased by an application of
ashes of the quantity above specified, but as
also stated most soils will be grateful for
their presence. Planter.
Plantation Work for June.
Cultivation. Thorough and frequent cul
tivation of all growing crops must be ob
served to keep down grass, to promote
growth, to prevent drought, and perfect a
vigorous maturity of the crops.
Haying. The more rapidly hay is cured
in the sun the better. The more slowly
and evenly in the shade, as in cocks, provi
ded it is constantly curing, the better it is.
Clover hay is worth more when cut early,
than when cut late. To cock it before com
pletely dried, for at least 24 hours and cure
it in the cock iucreases the value of the
hay.
Cotton. Cotton should have frequent
plowing?, and as much hoeing as maybe
necessary to keep it clean frequent plow-
ings make rapid growth.
Corn. The late workings of corn with
plow should be shallow, so as not to injure
the roots. Early varieties may still be
planted.
Peas and lieans. One or the other, or
both, plant in your corn fields. They en
rich your land : besides the gain ot a crop.
Experiments made to test the loss to the
corn crop, show no appreciable difference,
in other words, the pea crop and the fertil
izing of the land is almost a clear gain
There is no better preparation for a wheat
crop than to sow down peas to be turned
under.
Sweet Potatoes. Set out blips the whole
of the month. In working potatoes do not
cover the vines.
Ruta Iiagu's. As food for stock in Win
ter should be sown. It is a profitable crop
Sow in drills rows 27 to 30 inches apart.
It takes about 2 pounds to the acre. In the
absence of home made fertilizers, use 200
pounds of super phosphate drilled in with
the seed.
Fodder Corn. Fodder corn is one of the
most valuable crops, especially for milch
cows. Some of these days we will raise
large crops for forage and preserve it in
pits and trenches as is now done in France
and twermany.
Early Amber Sugar Cane. This cane
can be sown this month. It makes a clear
amber looking syrup, and will make sugar
by boihnc down. It is a most valuable
crop for our farmers. Try it as an experi
ment crop, and make at least your own
syrup and sugar.
Drinks for Having and Harvest.
Agricultural journals persist in recom
mending various concoctions for farmers to
drink during the heating and exhausting
labors of the hav field and the harvest held
We have, in our day, tried these various
mixtures, but we have iound nothing equal
to pure, cold water. Active exercise under
a sun that would raise the mercury above
100 degrees raises the temperature of the
body to a high degree, a degree that would
prove fatal were it not lor the constant
operation of nature's infallible cooler per
spiration. Perspiration thickens the blood
and other fluids causing thirst, frequent and
intense. WJiat drink is so well calculated
to reduce the internal heat and thin the
fluids as cold water ? Having decided upon
using cold water as the beverage of the hay
and harvest fields, the next thing is to use
it judiciously. It can be used as to be in
jurious when the laborer comes around to
the water jug and takes too much water
into his stomach ; but if he will take a
mouthful into his mouth, hold it for a mo
ment, gargle it in his throat, and then eject
it uv will niiu tuatamucn less quantity will
Huuice 10 away nis tnirst. jtLxenavge.
Hay Making.
The practice of waiting until grass
is
thoroughly ripe before cutting, and aft
er
Cllttincr allowing it to remain in the. fipl
il
until the little juice that is left is dried out
llAf-lttfk if la mi i.tti 1 1 1 1 "
"- mtu tun maun, or uaie, is
simplv a relic of flfrieiilt.ural hjirViarism
, o '
-this system of hay-making was evidently
founded on the mistaken notion that more
growth was secured by allowing the grass
to stand until it was thoroughly ripened ;
uu. irum a iear mai n would neat and
mould if put away before being thoroughly
dry ; but the first supposition is now proven
to be false, and the fears in regard to the
latter point have vanished before the light
of experience. -
. Ashes as a Fertilizer for Grass.
Experiments at the Maine State College
farm, show that ashes were more lasting in
their effects upon grass, than any other fer
tilizer' applied. ' The soil upon which the
experiments were made, was a strong clay
loam. Experiments also show them to be
valuable for all soils, not over-charged with
potash, especially for light, dry and sandy
soils. They are highly valuable as a top
dressing for grais lands, 50 bushels of leach
ed and 20 of uuleached is about the proper
proportion of top-dressing per acre!
Culture of Ruta-Bagas.
A correspondent of the Michigan Farmer
gives the following direction for the culti
vation ot the ruta-Dagas :
"About the first week in June, if good
rotten manure is plenty, spread from ten to
twenty loads per acre and plow it under.
If the supply of manure is small ridge the
land first, and put the manure between the
ridge, that it may be all under the plants.
The time to sow the seeds will vary accord
ing to the location. In some parts farmers
like to plant as early as the 15th ot June,
but I think the 25th is early enough, as my
experience teaches me that a few days will
matter little ll we gain a anower as soou a
the seeds are planted. Let us suppose the
land is manured and ready, and there is an
appearance of rain, put the plow to work,
spilt the ridges u me manure is ueiweeii ,
if broadcast, ridge up, which is done by
keeping the high horse in the furrows and
the off horse's head well off, so that every
end makes a ridge that lies ready and flat
to receive the seed, turning the team weed
before the plants grow large. '1 here are
numerous kinds of the ruta baga. I have
had good luck with Skirving's Improved ;
it is a large turnip, good for feeding, but not
for shipping. Laing's is a good round tur
nip, not quite so large. The Imperial Swede
is a new one, and bears a good character in
some sections, but has not been much tried
here yet. To raise a good crop, say 1,000
bushels to the acre, plow four times, culti
vate four times, hoe three times, and single
one plant to every foot. This looks like a
deal of work, but it will pay."
Secret of Economical Management.
Says Alexander Hyde, in the New York
Times: "We see so many farmers working
hard from the beginning of the year to its
end, and that year after year, till life ends,
with such small results, that we do wish to
impress upon the community the true prin
ciple of economy a farmer's wife once ex
pressed to us in one word calculation.
We found her a slender looking woman,
surrounded by a flock of children, and hav
ing the care of a dairy of a dozen cows, with
no Bridget to assist her, and still everything
moved on like clock-work. The children
were tidy, the house neat, the cooking nice,
and the butter of nilt-edtre quality. We
watched her to study the secret of her ccon
omical management. She never seemed to
be in a hurry, certainly never in a fret, but
went from one thing to another as calmly
and pleasantly as the butterfly goes from
one flower to another. We noticed that
she had every convenience for her work.
Water flowed constantly in her kitchen and
dairy-room, and her churning was done by
dog power. We were satisfied, however,
that the secret ol her efficiency was not in
churns, dogs, water, nor any other conve
nience for labor, and we finally asked, "How
do you accomplish all your work with such
apparent ease? ith a toss ol her head
and pleasant smile, she replied : ''By calcu
lation. Before I get up in the morning I
think over the labors ot the day and plan
everything out, assigning each duty its
time, and when the time comes I attend to
the duty and now the time has come for
me to skim my milk, so please excuse me."
Upon this she bowed herself out with the
grace of a queen. We could not help think
ing, happy is the farmer that has Mich a
help-meet.

THE RISING SUN.
"Conquer by this Sign."
So thought Constantine when he became a con
vert, because a "Pagan" refused to absolve him
from the guilt of his crimes, and the "christian"
readily agreed, and specially manufactured for him
a "sun by which he was to "conquer.
Henry the VIII in turn rejected Constantine's
specialty and became the "defender of the new
Faith" with his six wives, one only outliving him
Seven hundred years before Constantine lived
Solomon, who built a Temple with out-houses,
court, occ, on 2U acres of ground, 700 wives, 300
ditto a good sized population to the acre. The
tueen of bheba admired his wisdom much more
than his magnificence, and significantly remarked
that "the halt ot his greatness had not been told
her :" but after he declared that "all is vanity"
built high places for the worship of heathen deities
and died. Napoleon Bonaparte, on his narrow
escape from the inflowing tide of the Red Sea,
while passing through on the spot where Pharaoh
and his horse perished, exclaimed : "If I had
perished here like Pharaoh, what a text I would
have furnished Orthodoxy" and C. S. Holton to
advertise his Confectioneries and Groceries at the

LIVER.
This important organ weighs but about th,jexr
pounds, and all the blood in a living person (aVuult.
three gallons) passes through it at least once nry
half hour, to have the bile and other impuitiesj
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the saturaU
purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes,
torpid it is not separated from the bloody but car-,
ried through the veins to all parts of tine system,,
and in trying to escape through the poses lbfe
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a d&ly brown,
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dyspep
sia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bilious
ness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Pilps, Siek
and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow.
Merrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable discovery
for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw oflf from one
to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes
through it, as long as there is an excess of bile ;
and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow com
plexion or a brown dirty looking skin,, will astonish
all who try it they being the first symptoms to
disappear. The cure of all bilious diseases ant)
Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatine
in accordance with directions. Headache is gener
ally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that
arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is given.
Sold as a substitute for Pills by all Druggists.
Elf" Price 25 Cents and f 1.
LUNGS.
The fatality of Consumption or Throat and Lumr
Diseases, which sweep to the grave at least one
third of all death's victims, arises from the Opium
or Morphine treatment, which simply stupefies aa
the work of death goes on. $10,000 will be paid if
Opium or Morphine, or any preparation of Opium
Morphine or Prussic Acid can be found in the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup, which has cured pea.
pie who are living to-day with but one remaining
lung. No greater wrong can be done than to say
that Consumption is incurable. The Globe Flower
Cough Syrup will cure it when all other menus
have failed. Also, Colds, Gough, Asthma, Bron
chitis, and all diseases of the throat and lungs.
Read the testimonials of the Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens, Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Geor
gia, Hon. Geo. Peabody, as well as those of other
remarkable cures in our book free to all at the
Drug Stores and be convinced that if you wish to
be cured you can be by taking the Globe Flower
Cough Syrup.
Take no Troches or Lozenges for Sore Throat,
when you can get Globe Flower Syrup at the tamti
price.
For sale by all Druggists.

BLOOD.
Grave mistakes are made in the treatment of all
diseases that are from poison in the Blood. Not
one case of Scrofula, Syphilis, White Swelling,
Ulcerous Sores and Skin Diseases, in a thousand, is
treated without the use of Mercury in some form.
Mercury rots the bones, and the diseases it produces
are worse than any other kind of blood or skin
disease can be. Dr. Pemberton's Stillingia or
Queen's Delight Is the only medicine upon which a
hope of recovery from Scrofula, Syphilis and Mer
curial diseases in all stages, can be reasonably
founded, and that will cure Cancer. $10,000 will
be paid by the Proprietors if Mercury, or any in
gredient not purely vegetable and harmless can he
found in it.
tW Price by all Druggists $1.

facilities on the spot, I can manufacture all parts
of the Erie Engines which will not bear freight

to offer Machinery at better figures to the purchaser
than ever before.
