Editor Is dependent: The ject of keeping my land fertile ha ixt-n my constant theme ever alnce I have owned land, now seventai vears, having- been taught that goo. farming pays, while poor farming I a loa. Of course, like mot oth young la'glniifM, I thought I coul see the exact way to make my lam rich and with only application 1 could reach the end In Mew. Bu after nearly a score of years of prac ileal exiierienee I have come to tin onclusion that It Is no eay matty-i loimpMVP the fertility of our -Oil by Hrtitlcial method. 1 ued to cfli ile iny-elf with the Idea trim America would be equal to the oe casion for every emergency, bui when I see the old New England iiniiieriteuds almiiilomed, I la-gin to ;hink that If the descendants of tin sturdy Pilgrim fathers are not equal J o the occasion, there might possit)l im a very dilllcult problem for tin rest of us to solve. This l.t a great country anil Its nature Is of a grea variety, but yet one general character prevails over the whole country, viz: A hot, dry Hummer. In a Jotirne.v from Portland to New York tlurint.' the month of August, the whole isiuntry was dried brown, exeep; near the lakes in Minnesota. Till meant a dry, hot soil for Mssihlj two feet deep, which would make the application of common farm yard manure a detriment rather than a bene tit, because it would make the soil open, porous, and reduce the -tower to retain moisture by capillary attraction to a very gnat xtent. The subject of my remain ing remarks will be to the climate and fertilizing of our own state. The summer-fallow Is the plan used by our agriculturists to keep their land fertile, but time will come when this will not be mimcient, be cause It Is only an agency whcrcti.v we unlock the fertility that Is in the soil; we or our offspring will nave to add inorganic matter. Althogh we can raise large crops now with out the aid of fertilizers, we ought to commence to economise that fertility before it Is lot. The moNt of our farm-yard ma- nuuro Is exposed to the heavy winter rains and what is applied to the land during winter is thoroughly purgcfl by our warm, soft winter rains f about all Its soluble properties, ami our noil being a sillcious loam, frf from lime except In the subsoil, nearly all the good of those ferti lizers Is leeched out into the creeks and lost, and the land hurt by being cut up by hauling manure over if. Farm-yard manure are solids and liquids, the solids contain the phos phates, silicates, tlbrine and some potash, the liquids the nitrates, waters and potash. I have found, alter many years of experimenting with Nines, guano ami chemicals, that the most effectual manures aro liquids properly prepared. One of the best plans for preparing the liquid ma nure I learned from the late Professor Arnold, of the State Agricultural College, In a conversation with him at one of our farmer's Institutes. It was tried by a friend of his at the New York experimental faim I believe. A largo tank was made and over that there was a uratintr. All the liquids were run Into the lank and the solids pihnl up on the grating over the tank, ami the liquids were pumie(l up over the solids, thereby increasing the fermentation ami ni trification of Isith. llefore applying, it was found neceHsary to dilute the liquids with three times its amount of water, ami then apply at the rate of 2000 gallons per acre. I have come to the conclusion that our land msils a starter In theshae of fermentation, similar to the need of yeust in flour to raise it for bread. The eminent lKs-tor Woeh showed to tho world that nitre can be bred the same as fermentation ny mo rignt condition and the prosr start. The ('erman and Swiss farmers raise large crops without the impor tation of large quantities of ft rtilla ers, by using liquid manures. The cattle are kept up in the stables nearly the whole day and all the liquid ami solid manure are run into a shallow tank and diluted with four or five times Its bulk of water, then It Is stirred with a rake and all the long straw ami coarte bedding raked out. The mixture Is then run Into a large cemented tank. After a week or ten days it is pumped Into another larger tank ami then carted lo the land and applied at the rate of ten loads per acre. The straw after be Inir raked out can ! piled and burned nnd the ashes worked In It would lie possible with the aid of such a K)werful pump as was exhibited at the Inilu-trlfU fair of Portland, to convey this liquid man ure to any part of an ordinary sired farm, and thereby ft-rtilixe a large area in a short time. It would pay a party to own such an outfit and do the work by contract, The Chinese have kept their coun try fertile for ages by the system of fermented liquid manure, and by shrewd observation have, pragtlc! IMU.IItAL many centuries ago what the im tUts have only di-cuvered quite re cently. Another gotsl way to make a farm yard fertilizer that is adapted to our soil and climate would lie to nmke a large plt.that would hold ten loads of tine earth for every acre wanted to be manured, then run all the liquids from the cattle and horse stables evenly over it, ks iing covered from rains, and when spring comes turn it over once and apply ut the rate of tea loads (s-r acre. On analysis the pile would be found to contain much more nitrogen than was put into It; and nitrogen is the mo-t needed ele ment for large crops. The solids in this case can he ucd in th.i ordiuary way. For fruit and wood plantation this liquid Is ex-ellent, it kills insects and et and makes a large, healthy growth ot wood. T. With vi tiM UK, Jr. Fltmu 0 THE "KLiKK." At least every thirty seconds he throws open the furnace door, and, without a false motion or the slightest delay, hurls exactly three shovelfus of coal on the tire, lie knows Just how to spill ami hpread it with a dexterous turn of the wrist, ltcfore Albany is reached he must throw 0,475 pounds of that coal into the Are, or nearly forty pounds a min ute, or an average of forty-four pounds a mile. Then, too, he must know exactly where he Is along the road, and when to drop his shovel and seize) the liellcord. He must ring the bell in passing through all towns and villages. He niu-t know the proper Instant to vault into his seat, when important curves are reached, lo watch for signals. He must see that the steam doesn't vary, and he is proud to shout in your ear when you get near Albany, "She hasn't varied three pounds since we left New York." He must watch the water-gauge of the boiler, and Is constantly kept changing the pumps, and seeing that they do their work properly. All tint time he must kitep throwing bis forty-fair pound of coal ou llieflre every mile. It Isn't long before he surprise you witli another mo' ion. lie throws open Jhe furiii.ee d:or, and thrusts a long, doiilile-protiv tl fork into the tiro. With a twist he prods the glowing mass, ami when he pulls bis fork out its ti clh me elu rry-red: Then comes the whir of the shovel again, ami the so'.ind of the hammer, as Tomkins breaks tip the larger lumps of coal. When you approach Montrose, near Peekskill, the engine licgins to slow down. If you look ahead you will seita narrow trough U-tween the rails tilled wit It water. The engine Is going to take on water at a flying leap. Tompkins stands at the side if the tender with his band on a lever. Engineer Foyle suddenly startles you with a shrill whistle be tween his teeth that would put to shamo tho warning signal a New York newsboy gives to his gambling mates when a policeman conies In sight. Instantly the lever tlies back, and, as you look at the wheels of the tender, you see surging up among the trucks a torrent of water. It splashes and roars, and, as you womler If you wouldn't be carried away, two whistles from Foyle, sharp er and shriller than the first, warn Tompkins to pull up the scoop, and that the end of the water-trough Is near. Then Tompkins goes back to his coal, his pumps, bis pipe, his water-gngue, his bell, his watch for signals and you wonder what new- work he will do next. IJcfore you are aware of it he touches you upon the knee and motions for you to raise your feet, while he turns on a hose and wets the nor of the cab to keep down the dust, after which he sweeps up with a stubby broom. Next he is shaking down the grates with a big steel lever that looks like the tiller of a largo saillxmt. You ;iow Im-jjIii to take in what It means to be a tire man. Toward tho end of the trip vou tan his shoulder, ami shout to w him : 'This seems to keep you pretty busy." 'I tell you there is no funny busi ness atiout this work, is ms n sponae. Harper's Young People. Said the wise man, "A soft answer turneth awny wrath." A lady who believed In this precept said to her 4-year-old Nellie, who is somewhat qu'ck-tcni(ered, "If one of your play mates speaks rudely to you, rturn a soft answer." ".Soff." "Yes. Now run alongaml play; mamm.t Is busy," The chiM went out on the lawn w here a neighlior's boy was mending a kite. She Bccldently broke the kite still more, whereby the Ixiy w made angry. "I don't like you; you're n horrid thing:" he said. Little e He's eyes flitshe I, and she was a'siut to reply with a very unkind remark, when, suddenly recalling her moth er's advice alsiut a soft answer, she looked the boy right In the eye, and said meekly and slowly, "mush." The Watchman. Dr. Prk'a Cream Baking Powder Most Perfect Made. ATI.Mll SPOUT Editok Ixdki-kxdkn r : omv more your correspondent yields to the temptation to mingle w ith the crowd of road doctors In order to as sist in making a true diagnosis of the general affliction of our county, ami to get up a prescription to prevent or cure or alleviate our wretched condi tion. With the rain beating again-! your windows, and the mudlioles getting deeper and deeper, I tell you it looks dismal and It is as much as a doctor can do to keep clns-rful in order to encourage bis patient. It Is true the sun and dry weather will relieve us pretty soon temporarily, but it will only o for a short six months and the same malady will recur like the intermittant fever and shake our very being to the founda tion till we go limping round with a broken constitution aud sadness de pleted on our countenances. Hut, let us not despair and work nobly together, this trouble must and can be cured as easy as the intermitant fever, if we want to lay claim to any respectable degree of civilization. Let us not fall into a sweet slum I. cr when the sun comes out aud Imagine we are cured but bar In mind that we are going to be In the saiin con dition again next winter unless the disease Is eradicated or stamped out as the doctors term It. Let us pu-li that ugly ghost, with mud splashed all over his face, out, aud bar the door aud be happy iu safety. Now, I guess Its pretty generally under stood what the remedies are, then let us not sway or swerve mid put those plasters on. Experience will soon t 'ach a patient how to apply a por ous plaster the easiest and cheapest way if It allays his pain, but let n beginning bo made. A few words In response to your editor! d remarks about tho mistake which would be made in laying road planks one Inch apart. Brother Da vies drew indeed a discouraging picture of a pi. ink rond, with the planks all trying to emigrate down hill. Itfthren, this won't do. This is liable to throw our patient into his old tits again. If we let It out that we are going to l so circless and throw the planks down in a harum scarum manner like that, our patient will lose faith iu our ability and sklllfulness. In my opinion It Is n "Canary as, well as expedient to put planks a little way apart In or I -r to get a go l road. Allow me to tell you what the consequence will be If you lay them close together, especially if you dry them before they are put down. As soon as they get wet they will swell out, aud about every rod a couple will bulge up like the roof ol a house, ami you will have a worse road than rough corduroy. This wu- practically demonstrated a few years ago on the road across the jacksoa bottom, th's famout roil of all roads, tho pride of the city of Hill. boro. If the intervals Itctwccn the planks are filled up with eartli which they soon w ill bo If they are put a little Mow the surface, thej will lu- stationary and you will have a smooth road, what a road ought to be. For the summer, the line dust will find its way Into the small pores and exclude the air and consequently retard the prorogation of fungus and bacteria, which dcntroy the wood fiber. Another thing let me tell j ou with your good road as soon afier will follow the wide-tired wagons, without legislation of Itself. They are better for all purposes excepting In the mud. Brother Ihtvics obser vation is quite correct. Another word to Brother Paulsen and I will quit (and sign my true name as he desires me tisi.) I pr sume he will exclaim though when he sees it, "didn't know he was such a crank." I have been thinking for sometime that our constitution was felly-bound aud ought to have the tires set, if we can't afford a new one.

When tho Hanuts arrive at the factory, they are rough and earth stained, aud of nil sizes mid qualities, jumbled together. The bags are firs taken up by iron arms projecting from an endless chain, to the fifth story of the factory. Here lliey an weighed and emptied into large bins. J From these bins, they fail to the next story, into large cylinders, four teen feet long, which n-volve rapidly and by friction the nuts are cleu'isctl ami polished, so that they come out white nnd glistening. From this story, the nuts fab through shoots to the third and most interesting floor. Imagine rows of loi.tf, narrow tables, each divided lengthwise into three sections by thin, inch-high strips of wood. These strips also surround the edge of the table. Etch of these sections is floored w ith a strip of heavy w hite canvas, which moves incessantly from the mouth of a shoot to an opening leading down below at the further end of the table. These slowly-moving canvas bands, about a f ot wide, ere called the "picking aprons." Upon the outer iiprons ol eaeli table, dribbles down from the shoot a slender stream of peanuts, and ou each side of the table, so close together its scarcely to have "elbow room," stands rows of negro girls and women, picking ni;tho inferior peanuts as they pass, and throwing them into t'e central wH-tion. So fast do their hands move at this work, that one cannot see what they are iloiug till they cast a handful of nuts into the middle division. By the time a nut has passed thes'iurp eyes and quick hands of eight or ten pickers, one may bo quite certain that it is a hrsf-class article, lit for the final plunge down two stories, into a bag which shall presently be marked with a brand which will command for It the highest market price. Tiie peanuts from the central nit rous fall only to the second story, w here they undergo yet another pick ing over, on similar tables, tint bist of these forming the second grade. The third grade peanuts, or what re mains after the second (licking, is then turned iiito a machine which cru-lies the shells and separates them from the kernels. Those are sold to the inanufaetiirers of candy, while the shells are ground up and used for horse Is-dding. So no part of this little fruit, vegetable or nut, whichever it may turn out to be, Is finally wa-iftsl, hut all serves some useful purtKHo. Blue nnd Gray for February.

Ur:vVKIU'l) In pursuance of a call from Mayor Huntington, the town council met on the evening of March I;, to con sider a proposition made by Davis Bros, for lumber to plauk the old county road from the west boumlitry line of the city limits to the west end of the beiivcrilsm bridge, a dis tance of 4,o00 feet, uud some few other places thut ure needing some attention. Tint proposition from Davles Bros, was read, after w hich considerable discussion pro ami con was hail.

It was not till Wednesday that tho an nouncement whs made, but by Sat urday evening the fact was quite generally known and long before tho time announced for the spisiking to commence, people began to IWk in, ami when tho time came, the bouso was about full. Both men ami women were anxious ami eager to hear what he would have to say. Afte r a song or two by the glee club (which by the way,) was good of lUelf, and very, appropriate for the occasion, Mr. Meek was Introduced by Chair man Allen.
