The fertility of the soil is the farmer's capital; on this depends largely his success or failure, and hie great anxiety should be how best to keep it up to the highest point, at the least expense. It is a well known fact that it is much easier to keep it up as we go long, then, after it has been allowed to run down, to make epasmodic effort S to restore its former vigor. It does not pay to raise small crops of any kind; mediure crops may just pay expenses, while that part of a large crop which is in excess of the medium crop is nearly all profit. Hence we know where to look for our profit, and study to devise the best means of enriching out lands at the least expense. There are several ways suggested. One man ,feeds stock; another ploughs clover under; another . buys. commereial. fertilizers. The western man ages up all the fertility of the soil, and then goes farther west to repeat the process. I haVe seen some- thing of this, 'system, having known • lands in Central Illinois which a few • years ago produced one hundred bushels of ears of corn, and which now produce but eighteen bushels in a favorable season. They tell as tliat this soil will never wear out; I know of none that wears out quicker. The same is the casein our eastern states. The writer was on some New England farms some months ago, that had once been the home of thrifty but improvident people. The life of the land was gone ;_ familes were separated, and there was a dull prospeet for a young man to begin life „ on such an impoverished farm, so these _ bright boys from the New England hillsides seek other and More lucrative avocations. • They are full of energy andvitality, inured to the rigor of the climate, a-nd the rough, hard laud. Agriculture cannot afford to ,sacrifice • such Men. If farmers Wish :to keep their Sons -at -home, they Must keep up the fertility of the soil. • Stock feeding is onetof the most - important - blanches of farming, and reqUires, much, judg- ment, care and attention. A prominent - man said that to be successful with flower:S. you must love flowers, and . so to be successful with stock lydis must love stook. The venerable john John- ston once told the writer that he owed his fortune and his reputation as a farmer to one pile of manure. While poor and. in debt he bought an adjoining fifty acres on which . there was an old barnyard containing an:accumulation of twenty-three years' manure. He found - it to be a mineof wealth.He applied it to his crops which in Om gave great returns, and this not Only gave .him notoriety_ as a good cultivator, but gave• him credit with moneyed men, who freely tendered him all the money that hesdesire& to buy stook with. After seeming areimmense crop of corn, he fed it to stock and made another great quantity of valuable manure, and .so on, year after year. Mr. Johnston has.; fed thousands of sheep and. • vast numbers of cattle. It has beeu stated that -in eighteen years of sheep feeding, buying in the fall and selling in the spring, he , never but once failed in getting pay for his feed, and a handsome profit on the investment. This shows that his judgment must have been superior, and that the stock had -his personal o.,nd undivided attention. A. wealthy stock farmer in Pennsylvania once told the writer that one drove of .cattle will .• half feed the next; meaning that by applying the manure from one lot of __. cattle to the -ground intended for corn, the crop would be much larger,- and • that this increased yield. would cost • almost nothing, while the extra burdeu of stalks would .certainly. make the • a donation year after year. After the farm has become rich it costs almost nothing to feed steels, as they will live 0u the surplus. -I believe , it cost thirty cents per bushl to• raise corn, when you only raise • fifty . bushels of ears to the acre,but when one himdred and fifty bushels are raised, the cost is reduced to lesk :than ten cents per bushel. -W. M. II. in the Country Goa - 1 - Farmers' Sons. How shall farmers treat their sons so as to stimulate in them a' desire for farm life? First, it. is not desirable that all sons of farmershould have a desire for farm life. :Some have a tact •for mechanical and other pursuits,, and. it is worse than useless to try to divert a boy from s anyhonorable calling for which- nature has adapted bins. Be- : side, farmers' sons often make the best of professional and business men.. But haw can we keep our boys on.the__ farm, rather than have them swell the crowd of leafers and dead beats iu our towns • and cities? Let the boys he allowed - au actual. ownership in some of the, pro- ducts of the farm.. The practice of giv- ing a boy a colt. of a sheep to call his, and, induce him to petand care for, it, and -then for th° father to sell it-6.-nd. pocket the entire proceeds; has a chil- ling effect on the rising aspirations of a farm boy. Again, a boy designed for the farin.is made to feel that he is good for nothing else. He sees his smarter , brother . better dressed and. better schooled, or his mates, the children of a neighbor, have these privileges While he is denied them, aud he !naturally as- sociates farming with social degrada- tion, and either resolves to leave home and the farm or' sinks into! a condition of indifferent .inferiority. !Better edu- cate him. thoroughly. If he developes tdste for music or science or litera- ture, give hinfan opportunity to gratify it; If in time • he exhibits a, peculiar fitness for seine -other calling, do not Spoil a good preacher or lawyer toenake , a poor farmes. If farm 'life can be made attractive to .the boy While at home, added years and matures judge moat will usually lead hine back to it. Again, the life of the•farm boy is often unnecessarily made ene •• of •constant drudgery. He has no time given him wherein he- • -is exempt frean calls to bring wood and. water, hunt eggs, etc. If he tries to read or blow his flute. or make his hand Sled, he is told that lie is lazy and will never • ainoCut to any- thing. Should he be attending school, he is liable to be taken Out to help finish husking, butcher hogs, and the like, and soon get -s behind his class and loses all interest in his studies: A little system inlarni. labor, with1 due regard. for the- boy's welfare, would avoid all this and give him time for self im- provement. This week I visited a . Itiond living on a farm of one hundred and. fifty acres, keeping horses, cattle and elieep; most of which were high ,.eu.a.des ; no fancy strains. I The barns - -and sheds were ample, not elegant. The house had an appearance of bons - l fort, not extravaganc were loaded with with daint es. The s ir tained a ' st-class were adorn di with dr traits, most of which the wife and daughter specimens of art.

Jim Wyatt, of Henry County, Iowa, glories itt the ownership of a horse that can beat the Central •Railroad's best schedule time. Last Friday night he mounted a -negro on the animal in ques- tion, and sent him to Lovejoy on an er- rand. Returning, ho was overtaken by the Il o'clock through freight, which so •frightened the horsethat he because :perfectly wild, and, throwing his rider, struck out down the railroad track with the rapidly advancing train close upon his, heels. The -engineer sounded the alarm whistle, opened the steaM-cocks, and did everything else to frighten the already terrified animal from the track, but failed. He theu pulled the, throttle wide open, thinking to overtake and knock him off, but Pegasus gathered fresh strength as the object of his terror approached, and, letting himself . out, soon left the locomotive far in the rear.' The race was continued until Sunny Side was reached, when he left the track,having run the entire distance .(nearly nine mules) in less 'than forty minutes; and beating the train by sev- eral car lengths. This statement, incredible as it may seem, is actually true, and will be vouched -for by reliable witnesses, the engineer among the num- ber. • - The Labor of Cutting Leaves. One of the minor. miseries of human life is the necessity.- that is laid upon the readers of magazines and of divers weekly, manthly, and other journals of cutting the leaves thereof. The amount attics°, consumed in this search after hidden treaelire,lind. of force expended therein, is no mean consideration in these utilitarian_ days. The literature of the .world in all the classes which we have mentioned, reducing quarterlies, bi-monthlies, and weeklies to month- lies, cannot be less than 2,000p0 'copies a month. Not less than 10 leaves to a copy may be deemed a fair average. The cutting of each of these -2,000,000 publications requires at least five minutes. This, as -a simple calcu- lation will show, is something like 20 years for each month, or 240 years in each year. In cutting the leaves of tbe ordinary Magazine, the hand travels at least 20 feet. For 2,000,000' magazines this -is 40,000,000 feet, nearly 8,000 miles a month, aud 96,000 miles a year --four times around the globe -a -distance greater than the railroad mileage -of the United States. Professor Ralfe -says that "the 'ordinary external mechani- cal work" done. by 'an adult weighing 150 pounds amounts- to 300 foot tons .000 tons lifted. one foot) daily. In pile- , * driving a man lifts the equivalent of 312 foot tons in eight hours; itt taming a winch, 374 foot tons. But this maga- zine cutting necessitates an expenditure of 240 year, or '87,600 days, which, at 300 feet tons a day, makes 26,280,000. a sum total that makes the tonnage Of the Erie Carnal 'and the trunk lines sink into insignificance. 1 . • - . - Washing Dishes.. •' Of. course everybody has her own way, but if I :have &piles to wash, I like to get 'the worst over first. The baking pans and. kettles I take first in nice, clean suds, and dry them about the stove. Then I pour out the 1. Etter, and take a fresh panful •for •the glass and silver; then the cups, plkte and vegetable dishes. Two good dish pans, plenty of nicer soft water soap and clea:n towels, are the main esseutials of good dish washing. It can be done very quickly, with proper dispatc and determination. Without the latt r all work will drag. I often think, in view of disagreeable duties, of -the rem k of . the old.Indian, who was asked ab ut dry crust he was eatieg, "How o you like that?' He answered st lidly, " victuals, ana;I willhke im." We have need of a little of this s nit if ?,ve wouldsset along smoothly with life's trials.

Time yourself by the clock and se how quickly you can finish the uupl asant work. That Will serve as a Ail Wise 'sand keep the work from draggi g on . your .hauds.

Those which he may or may not need to see go to he .assistant secretaries, who can use t eir judgment about consulting Mr. varts. But, when the answers are przpared, all of them must be seen -by M Everts or by Mr. Seward, the work f signing themailbeing one of the fi al matters of each day. The cor- respo deuce is removed from one office of th department to another, in closed woode boxes,F.!o that- the messengers do no actually,handle any of the paper which they carry, and there is no op- portu ity for anything to get "lost, - strayel or stolen." Aftr Mr. •E-varts and Mr. Seward have igned the letters of the day, they are se led up by • a trusted messenger, under the eye of the chief clerk, and put in mail bags, which are sent to the city p st office. The department has the op ion. of making up closed: mails for for ign parts,in which case the seal- , ed ma 1 bag is transmitted to New York and se t abroad without being opened. Besid s, its regular official correspond- ence, he department has an immense a,mou t of other porrespondence. Let- ters a constant y coming in from all over t e world iji every civilized lan- guage, and from foreigners of many na- tionali ies, who happen to be in the Unitec States, asking for information documents, etc. I The chief clerk states that 1 and f that a any letters come from G-reece ore Sweden, and the requests e made are as manifold as the ingenuity of man ca.n devise. These letters whenever any useful purpose cau be subserved, receive an answer. It is her; that the services of the trans- lator a -0 often in request. He is a man of larse acepirernents, but - the depart- ment i not _poor in linguistic ability, and c ;munications in the language of every ivilized nation of the world cai be tut led into English at short notice. Amon the clerks is one who speaks Japan se fluently, aud another is a maste of conversational Russian. Frenc 1, German and Spanish scholars are of ourse plenty. The DePartment finds the use of the telegr ph a daily necessity, and has its own s ecial operator, who is a regular- ly pai clerk. The iepartinent is con - node with the offices of both telegraph comp: nies here, and the department can gt a special wire to New York or -elsew ere at any time by Simply asking for it. When important negotiations are go ng on messages are sent in cipher. and c ble messageS of some kind are passin to and from the department nearly every day. One of the busiest, men is the department is the pardon and cimmission clerk, who makes out all th ; papers in connection with Presi- dential appcautments and pardons. Wh as the President decides to ap- point person, to an office, he makes a notificl tion of the fact to the Secretary of St te, and the nomination is made out a d sent to the Senate.
