11) furmora out of 1W who have not had
their attention called to this fact in a
most realistic way when they found it ab
solutely necessary at the beginning of a
season to buy mules or horses. On this
subject, the Hural Spirit says :
A careful estimate of the annual drain
upon the farm, through rearing and sell
ing live stock, would show to any one
that our farm animals are remarkable in
the mutter of usef uiuessas manufactur
ers of fertilizing material. They leave an
enormous amount of this during the
years before going forward to the market,
the total being hardly within reasonable
conjecture, while the drain made by
their annual growth is really very mod
erate. An experienced farmer dous not
need to have his attention called to the
fact of diminishing crops in the case of
fields or farms where manuring has been
neglected.
It would be an Interesting experiment
to most men, and a very convincing one
to auy man, to set apart a given piece of
ground say pasture or meadow, on high

distributed, carefully providing against
too free washing endnote the produc

with others of Ukc exteut not so treated.

' Makinif Land Productive.
In this stab the prevailing idea among
fal'inurs is that some particular crop will
pay belter than any others. They do u.tt
Htudy their luud and how to make it pro
duee, but they try to Hud out what pays
the best in this or that locality, and then
plant the same.
V aimers are asleep to the conditions of
the soil. It has been cropped year al ter
year for three decades with no returns
made to It In thydmpo of manure. What
la needed is not a new and profitable
crop, but a more thorough cultivation of
the old cropg. Fruit, berries, alfalfa,
garden truck, hay and even grain will
pay better hero than In the east if the
same care is given to the laud. The
truth Is we know nothing about funning.
Wo must put on our spectacles and read
what has been ilouo lu other lands. Bee
how soli Is cult ivated In Friinon, Holland,
Kngland, the Kasteru and Middle States,
ltoad more, study more, think more. If
laud that is covered deep with snow
three or four mouths each year can be
made to pay, why cannot land that can
be worked all the year be made to pay
still better? The reason is that we have
been wearing out ths laud, and neither
giving it rest nor mauiiro. Let half of
your laud lie Idle for a year and
thoroughly till the other hair, and you
will bo belter tilt at the end of the ytw
than ir you had worked the whole farm.
Tlio great trouble with California farm

I had a caller the other afternoon

"How long was Mrs. Blank here?"
"About half an hour."
"And you talked about fashions, I

"What else should we talk about?"
"Mrs. Bowser, did it ever occur to
you that there was anything in life be

"How?"
"Howl Why, select some subject of

labor question or self-government and
discuss it with calmness and justice, nnd
learn somethiiiji worth remembering for
half an hour. You women folks might
as well have been born with a pumpkin

I made no reply to this, hut determin

fore a neighbor called over hs he whs at
work In the back yard, and for two long
hours those men sat down on a ladder
and discussed the question whether 8
bnck gate should open inward or out
ward, and the advantages offered by
either situation. Mr. Bowser contend
ed for the gate opening outward nnd the
nciL'iibor for the opposite, and the nis
ciiHsion resulted in Mr. Bowser getting
red clear back of the eurs and Jumping
up to exclaim:
"Well, let's drop the subject right
hero. There enn be cranks on alley
gates as well as on politics and reli

"DON'T CAM. UK A LUNATIC!" SAID BOW

When Mr. Bowser came in to wusb hi

"Doesn't it slriko you that Germany's

"It certainly does," she replied, "but
there may bo a hidden motivo behind
this seeming submission. Truce the
record of the man back as far as you
will, and his policy has been either ug
gresslon or strategy."
Mr. Bowser looked from one to the
other of us in astonishment.
"1 notice," suld I its I passed tlio bis

"1 do so hope you run come down to

Mrs. Orfendorf, hs she toyed with her

"How did you slriko the Idea of such

"A Board of Trade man suggested It,"
said he. "11 said there was big money

"To enable them to take the photo

I KttS ON THE TOP OF THE TOWER.
The Little Forest (irnwinff nn the Qreena
burg, IihI., Courthouse.
In the center of the business portion
of Grecnsburg, Ind., is a handsome park,
which bus a gradual slope toward the
different points of the compass and con
tains within its bounds a nice, grassy
lawn and a well selected variety of
shade trees. In the center of tbe park
there wns built in 1854 one of tbe finest
courthouses in all Hoosierdom, with
architecture of latest design and work
manship of the best quality. On either
end of the building are two large towers,
the one on the east standing 156 feet
from tbe level of tbe ground to the
fancy stone ornament at the top. In
the construction of the tower, about
thirty feet from
the top, an arch
was made of brick,
and on this stone
was laid about two
feet in width and
three or four feet
in length. In 1868
a few leaves were
seen protruding
from between the
stones on the tow
er, but in a short
time they disap
peared. In 1873
the leaves again
appeared in about
the same place
and continued to
thrive through the
warm months.
"Large oaks from
little acorns grow";
tkp.es in the air. bo with these
leaves. In tbe course of a couple of
years a well defined nnd proportioned
tree spread its limbs and leaves from the
towering height above. From this curl
osity tno city became known all over
the state as the "Lone Tree City"; but
time banished the name, as in '76 more
trees appeared and now six, instead of
one, adorns the tower. John H. Good-
son of Cincinnati climbed tbe tower to
tbe top and from him was learned the
first uccurate report of the size and kiud
or trees lu this elevated forest. They
are of the silver poplur variety, and
measure in height from three and one
half to nine feet four inches, with limbs
measuring a fraction over three feet.
They cause the stoucs to spread about
ono nnd one fourth inches apart, but
Just above the crevices spread out and
measure from four nnd one half to seven
and three fourths inches in circumfer
ence, with a firm rooting and healthy
appearance, so we may yet have a dense
forest on the tower of our palace of
justice. They can bo plainly seen from
ourunion depot and attract the atten
tion of thousands of travelers every year

DHULEEP SINCH'S BRILLIANT KOHL
NOOR.
The Famous Diamond Now Sparklet on
Queen Victoria's lireust.
The famous Kohinoor diamond, or
"Mountain of Light," which, according
to a recent dispatch,
Queen Victoria hns
been asked to restore
to its rightful owner,
Prince D h u 1 e e p
Singh, is one of tbe
great Jewels of tbe
world. During hun
dreds of years It has
been looked upon with superstitious
reverence by the Hindoos, who believe
that its possession carries India. Ou
tbe other hand, it has been regarded as
an omen of ruin and disaster, and Its
history shows that every sovereign
owning it up to Victoria lost either bis
life or his empire. It belonged to the
Mogul dynasty of rulers, but there Is a
tradition that before it shone in the Pea
cock throne it was owned, countless
ages before, by the mythological Pan
doos. At all events, sovereign has been steal
ing it from sovereign for nearly a thou
sand years. The court circles of Lon
don would, of course, be shocked at the
application ot this term to the method
by wbich her Ma
jesty ncquired the
gem, but it is tbe
plain language of
Prince Dhuleep
oingn to the Lin
press of India. "It side view, hkcct.
will be useless for me," he writes, "to
demand the restoration of my Kingdom,
swindled from me by your Christian
Government, but which I hone shortlv.
by the aid of Providence, to retake from
my robbers. But mv diamond, the
Kohinoor, I understand, is entirely at
your own disposal, llieretore, believ
ing your Majesty to be that most religious
body that your subjects pray for every
Sunday, I do not hesitate to ask that
this gem be restored to me or else that
a fair price be paid for it to me out of
your privy purse." Queen Victoria has
not yet replied to this polite request for
restitution, but even should Dhuleep be
successful in getting bis kingdom back
there is not much probability that he
will ever see his diamond again unless
he receives an invitation to Windsor
Castle.
The magnificent gem is, It is needless
to say, part of the spoils of India. It
was brought to Kngland about 1&0 in
the Medea, sloop of war.
Nuturully enough, the gem caused a
great sensation in England. A glass
model of it was made nnd put into the
lower of London
for loyal Britishers
to admire. When
