Agricultural Itemc
Canadian farmers claim that
six bushels of peas are equal to
ten .bushels of corn for fattening
hogs, antLthat peas will yield a
larger number of bushels per
acre than corn. The pork made
from,peas is most excellent
Never purchase farm utensils
because they are cheap. Cheap
tools are an .Unmitigated nuis

world carinotmake 3 good job
with them. If lis economy to

pricemay be.
Tor' some-sort of vegetables,
as lettuce, -,cress, radishes and
others, the Chinese -system of
keeping the soil' continuously
wet.is the best that can be ad
opted It products a crispness
in the vegetables that is obtain
ed only when there has been
no check m the growth.
In most cases the best time to
topdress grass land Is in August
Or September,1 before the fall
rains occur, and after the burn
ing'heatof summer is past; if
then-applied, the rains soak It
and carry the fertilizing proper
ties directlv to" the grassroots,
where it is needed.
It has been, recommended,
where sheep have been killed
by dogs, to skin what the dep
redators may leave of their car
casses,, and liberally inoculate
the defunct mutton with strych
nine. Both dogs and foxes are
obliged to succumb-to this dose.
An -Ohio farmer has quieted
many dogs in this way as
many as fourin one night .
In purchasing' sheep, it is
judicious to select those that
have been fed on soil inferior to
that for which they are designed;
and the best symptoms of a
healthy condition are redness of
the gums and of the skin at the
brisket, whiteness and evenness
of the .teeth, firmness of the
woolsweetness of treatli, and
coolness of feet.

and raking therein grain or
scraps, Is another good way to
accomplish the like result, and
at the same time divert the ac

as egg-eating and feather-pluck
ing.
HOW tO PlOTT.
Professor Stockbridge, in an
essay on plowing read before
the Connecticut State Board of
Agriculture said that there are
two kinds of soil on every man's
farm the agricultural soil and
the subsoil. "The agricultural
soil may be two inches deep or
it may be nine, but it is not
twenty feet It is no deeper
than, die air can penetrate. If
the agricultural is too shallow it
may be gradually deepened by
Jilting an inch of the subsoil at
each plowing, bringing It up to
the air and enriching it with ma
nure. Our agricultural society
committees, by their premiums
for smooth shiny fiat furrows,
have done the community great
harm. Such as oftcnest takes
the premium is the very poorest
"kind of plowing. The soil is
best plowed when it is most
thoroughly crushed, twisted and
broken with the sod well cover
ed. On some kinds of soil I
would have the furrows lapped
an inch, as the Canadian far
mers plow. Let the air and
water jiave a chance to circulate
beneath the surface. Light
lands, however, should have a
flat furrow; we wish to make
such lands more compact"
A correspondent writing to the
"New York Tribune, from a good
fanning section inPennsylvania,
says thut he commenced soiling
thirty-five cows in 1875, and
now has increased the number
to sixty, and during the past
year has raised enough fodder,
hay, corn and oats, to keep them
the entire year without purcha
sing anything from of? the farm,
which contains but .eight-four
acres. Six horses have also
been kept on the farm from the
.same home-grown grain an"d
fodder.

Old Texans Patsisc Awaj.
In spite of our firm conviction
that death opens wider the
"gates ajar" to" those who are
duly prepared to enter the better
land, it is sad to observe how
many of the adventurous spirits
the old pioneer Texans are
passing over to the other side.
Ina few more brief years there
will be none left to. tell the tale
of Santa Anna's capture at San
Jacinto, or the feelings of those
nlio first hearcLthe news of the
dreadful massacre at the Alamo
in San Antonio.
The recent death of Willium
Vance, at -San AntoniaH0-31
B. H. Epperson, of Jefferson ;
Ccl. W..A. Fort, of Waco; and
Ira Mi Freeman, of Navasota,
should admonish us all that
life here is short at best death
is certain therefore every man
ought to think less of the world
and its poor, perishable goods,
and seek to lay up treasures in
the spirit .vOrld even while here
on earth, by developing every
good and noble trait ofthe im
mortal soul.
The pioneers" above named
were not in Texas in the days
of '36. still they were all old
Texans. Peace to their ashes.
Sllddle AEo.
As we glide into middle age
life the vague dreams . With
which we start oiit.grow Into
earnest realities, and we find
that as youth wanes, the enthu
siasm with which we entered
upon new pursuits, the buoyan
cy ot feeling that kept up our
faith and hope in earlier years,
grows less as disappointments,
failures of our plans, anxieties
and crosses that make up the
average sum of daily existence,
become also our portion, to
bear with philosophy, or with
fretful impatience, as we school
ourselves. Youth has hope,
courage, faith to do and brave
all things ; middle age sees the
earnestness of life and buckles
on the armor of work, for, hear
ing the "st. ill, sad music of hu
manity," he knows it is the call
for his broad sympathy and un
ceasing grand, -beautiful and
sweet out of the days that are
given him.

The Sea Serpent Caught at Last.
A young sea serpent has
been captured at Van Dieman's
Land. The following is the
description : "The fish is four
teen feet long, fifteen inches
deep from the neck to the belly,
tapering two inches to the tail,
and eight inches in diameter at
the thickest place. There are
no scales, but the skin is like
polished silver, with eighteen
dark line and rows of spots run
ning from the head to the tail on
each side. There is a mane on
the neck twenty Inches long, and
continues from the head to the
tail ; small head, no teeth, pro
trustive mouth, capable of being
extended four inches, like a
sucker; eyes fiat, about the size
of a half crown, and liker silver,
with black pupils. There are
two feelers under the chin, thirty-two
inches long. The fish
was alive when captured."
A Good Advisor.
Those men who understand
the value of a woman's advice
have learned a valuable lesson.
It is a wondrous advantage to a
man in every pursuit and voca
tion, to secure an adviser in a
sensible woman. In woman
there is at once a subtle delica
cy of tact and a placid sound
ness of judgment which are com
bined to an equal degree in
man. A woman, if she is really
your friend, will have a sensible
regard for your character and
repute. She will seldom coun
sel you to a shabby thing, for
a woman friend alwzys desires
to be proud of you. At the
same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more 'cau
tious than her male friend. She
therefore seldom counsels you
to do an imprudent thing. A
man's best female friend is a
wife of good sense and heart.
Notwithstanding the injur'
to the grain crop in Minnesota
and Iowa, it is believed that the
total wheat crop of the country
will reach 400,000,000 bushels.
Sunflowers are coming into
use in tt.e treeless party of Min
nesota, as fuel. The crop on
two acres will warm a family all
winter and make a roaring fire,
too.
When a man thinks that no
body cares for him, and that he
is alone in this cold, selfish
world, he would do well to ask
himself tin's question; "What
have I done to make anybody
care for and love me, and to
warm the world with faith and
generosity ? It is generally the
case that those who .complain
the, most have done the least.
