J., "What have you found, dear?" ; [ "Listen to this from Horace Greeley: "I am fully persuaded that if chopping wood were universal, rheumatism and dypepsia v would be unknown." nl "Well, what of that?" asked Mrs. Mayor- ^ huff. m "What of it? Why, I shall chop wood, that's what there is of it." jL "Did you ever chop wood?" ... T '? TJn,ir.n)f T hann " julu. jl cvci uiup nuuu . iiavui u x m>vu /? editor of the Woodman for years? Didn't L ray article, 'How to clear up New Ground,' }" create a sensation? Of course it did. Jane, J: I swear that sometimes I believe you are ' blind. Did I ever chop wood, indeed! I z, have just ordered a cord of hard oak wood and I shall chop it myself. Aside from the healthful exercise, it will save money. I jTj shall order an ax to be sent up just as soon j" as I go down town." " When the professor returned at dinner ^ time, he asked if the ax had come. a "Yes, it's out there on the porch." 1, "Well, I shall go to work at once." a "I hope so. We are needing some now, for the weather has turned awful cold." ^ "Don't fret. You shall have all the wood j" you want." a The professor went out and after laboring three hours, brought in two small sticks . that looked as though they had been gnaw- y ed in two. Z "This enough?" "Enough the mischief! It's not enough " to start a fire." The professor puffed and "blowed" awhile, f and then went out again. Three hours later he came in again with p. two more sticks. "This do?" "Of course it won't. We'll have snow before morning." Pr "Snow!" he exclaimed, wiping his reek- J.n ing brow. f0 "Yes snow." 0l! "Well, I don't care if it falls fifty feet w deep, I am not going to chop any more to- n{ day.- Needn't expect a man to kill himself is just because we are going to have snow." jc Just then a rap came at the door. df "Come in," called the professor, too tired to get up. What have got there?" "Ax rrom the hardware store.

Among: his constituents he tu is a granger himself. His district lies in the co upper part of St. Louis, but as it embraces iv the billy-goat and garden-truck suburbs of ds the metropolis of the Mississippi, his con- ye stituency is somewhat rural. To this ele- w menfc O'Neill has long been a walking ency- tri clopsedia of information concerning crops to ana live stock. During the last campaign, sh while visiting, he met one of his farmer con- th stituents, driving a cow. He at once began si< to air his knowledge of bovine breeds. In be the height of his enthusiasm he offered to an buy the cow. The farmer was not anxious ce to sell, but said he would take $65 for her. eu "Drive her up to my house," said O'Neill, de "and I'll be there to pay you the money." a | The farmer regretted that he had consent- w< ed to part with-his favorite cow, and said: he "Let me tell you, Mr. O'Neill, the cow is a fr< gentle creature and a good milker, but she la has no upper teeth." "Of course that changes the trade," said Mr. O'Neill. "You wouldn't expect me to jn take a cow with such a defect as that, but th bring me a good milker, with sound upper ck teeth, and I'll buy her." w] When the story got out there was great ev excitement in the cabbage end of his district. f0l The grangers swore they wouldn't have a 5^ Congressman who was "blamed fool enough a{^ to believe that cows had upper teeth." As jn a result, O'Neill was only re-elected by the st) skin of his own upper teeth.?

Fertilizing.?Where the soil is known be poor, orscantily manured, a top-dressg of phosphate, at the rate of 200 pounds the acre, will often increase the yield the st season enough to pay the cost of its apication. Wood ashes, at the rate of ten fifteen bushels to the acre, will produce [ually good results upon some soils, particarly such as need potash, and upon others aster gives alarge increase to the crop, but ore particularly of the clover crop. The result obtained from plaster differs eatly upon different soils, and no rule can s given for determining where it will do ell and where it will not, yet, as a ton nough to top-dress ten acres) can be bought r$7.r>0, and in many locations for much ss, and a% it can do no injury when used to at extent, each fanner should try for him* " 1 ' * ? ? ?- - ---- 11 Ui rv? i II wnemer IIS use Will W piiMiuunc iw imn ' not. All topdressing of grass land, except such may be done with the nitrates or ammoacal salts, should be accomplished as early the spring as the grass begins to start, or ren before that time, but not while the ound is frozen. Nitrate of soda, or those rtilizers which contain it in considerable lantties, give best results if used later in ie season. The profit of buying fertilizers for top essing grass lands depends very much )on the cost of breaking up and reseeding e land, and the objections which there ay be to doing so. Fields have been kept grass many years by such topdressing >out one year in three or four, and have lid fair interest on cost of land and lerlizer; but not every field will do this, and here land can be broken up and reseeded ithout more expense than the usual cost such work, it will usually pay best to let until the fall, and and then do the work oroughly.?New York Herald. Dox't Litigate.?Hon. S. W Brown, a eminent lawyer of Warren county, Ohio, an address to farmers recently, gave the Mowing advice on litigation. It will suit ir Grange readers exactly. He said: If a asting contest in court between two busiiss men, two traders or two speculators, to be deplored, how much more to be premted, if it be within the range of effort to > so, is a lawsuit between two farmers? o farmers who array their neighborhood to hostile factions, who turn their golden een of peaceful sunlight into angry lightng over a dispute whether a line fence 1 . .

How much better than this it would f, simply in the consideration of dollars id cents?whether you spell this last word nts or sense?if one of those farmers would t up an acre of corn in addition to the one istroyed, and haul it over and present it as gift to his favorite lawyer, and if the other i>uld fatten the cow, and skin and dress (r nice and clean, and dump her down as a ?e offering in the kitchen of his favorite vvyer?and have no lawsuit. Ammonia for Plants.?Last year I was duced to try an experiment in chrysanemum growing, and for this purpose purased one pound of sulphate of ammonia, hich I bottled and corked, as ammonia aporates very rapidly. I then selected ur plants from my collection, putting them > themselves, gave them a teaspoonful of omonia in a gallon of water twice a week, i a fortnight's time the result was most riking; for though I watered the others ith liquid cow manure, they looked lean hen compared with the ammonia watered ants, whose leaves turned to a very dark een, which they carried to the edge of e pots until the flowers were cut- As a atter of course the flowers were splendid, ie ammonia used is rather expensive, as bought it from a chemist's shop. This >ar I intend gettingagricultural ammonia, hich is much cheaper. I have also tried on strawberries with the same satisfactory tfiilt thprrnn hpinw nearlv double that of e others. It is very powerful and requires be used wiih caution.?Jjondon Garden. Facts Worth Remembering.?It is jrth while for all farmers, everywhere, to member that thorough culture is better an three mortgages on their farms. Thatan offensive waragainst weeds i$ five nes less expensive than a defensive one. That good fences always pay better than wsuits with neighbors. That hay is good deal cheaper made in the miner than bought in the winter. That a horse which lays his ears back and r>ks lightning when any one'approaches m, is vicious. Don't buy him. That scrimping the feed of fattening hogs a waste of grain. That over fed fowls won't lay eggs. That educating children is money loaned a hundred percent. That one evening spent at home in study , more profitable than ten in lounging out country taverns. That it is the duty of every fanner to take me good, reliable agricultural paper, and ly for it promptly. Plowing Wet Land.?The plowing of it land does a mischief which remains r years. The owner of a stiff clay farm ho turned over a field in too much of a irry ten years ago has not since been able get the soil into the same condition it was before. When a plow-share becomes leared with mud as it turns the furrow ce, and the earth is plastered, as mortar when a trowel is drawn over it, clay land conies spoiled for many years. Even fht land is hurt by it, but the clay is ughened and dries in hard clods which e very difficult to reduce to fine condition rain. One may easily make haste too fast plowing in the spring. The test of titiss in the soil is that a spade may be put to it and withdrawn without any sinearg, and thespadefull of soil when dropped ill fall apart into a loose mass. Saving Manure.?Around many farms ere are piles of leaves blown into the nee corners, into the ditches, and every her place about the premises. These ould be hauled into the hog, cow or horse t to be trampled and rotted, or dumped to a*pit, wet and limed, for the same purise. All the rich surface soil washed by e rains into the same fence corners, sweepgs from the backyard, the waste about the in roost, pig sty, kitchen sink and other aces, should be gathered up and piled for e in the garden, orchard or vineyard, 'here cultivation is close around the prem^s this is an easy job, and will make an I tnniuKinrr imnpnvomonf In thfi Sfiil. The Chemht says that if a little chlore of lime be sprinkled on the soil, rats, ice and insects will soon desert it. Plants ay be easily protected by it from insect ague by simply brushing over their stems ith a solution of it. Fruit trees may be i larded from their attacks by attaching to e stems pieces of tow smeared with a ixture of chloride of lime and hog's lard, nts and grubs already in possession will en rapidly vacate their position. Wood ashes are the best of fertilizers r the orchard. They contain all the retired elements of plant nutrition, except trogen. One hundred pounds of wood hes contain sixteen pounds of potash, ree and a half pounds of soda, sixty-seven Hinds of lime and magnesia and five and quarter pounds of phosphoric acid. Xo her fertilizer keeps fruit trees in so healiy a state as do wood ashes.. kir The richest grass grows on the most! rtile soil. It is this which makes the good ! azing lands of river bottoms annually ! ;erflowed. It is true that the grass around clump of fresh manure will be avoided, I it if evenly distributed and well decom- i )sed, the manure can hardly be spread too lickly. On old fields where grass grows lin it is equally poor in quality. ^aisceUatieiJus fUading. From the Carolina Teacher. COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER. Mr. Editor: School offices should be filled by school men. This proposition seems reasonable. Only lawyers are elected, or appointed, attorney-generals or solicitors. II we had any such office as county physician we should elect doctors to discharge its duties. Were we called upon every two year? to cnoose a county commissioner 01 agriculture, we would likely select a practical and progressive, a wide-awake and up-to-thetimes farmer. Manufacturers appoint nonf but experienced workmen to oversee the different departments of their factories. None but railroad men are elected superintendents of railroads. To multiply examples is needless. The unbiased reader will admil the truth of our proposition that the man who holds any school office should be familiar with the details of school work. If this be true of school officers in general it is especially true of County School Commissioners in South Carolina. Turn to the school law of the State and read this officer's dutiesastherein laiddown. Weselectafew He should visit the schools as often as practicable, and note the course and method ol instruction and the branches taught, and give such recommendation in the art o teaching and the method thereof, in each school, as shall be necessary and expedient, so that uniformity in the course of studio and method of instruction employed shal be secured. He is to note any dericieneio that may exist, either in the government ol the school or the classification of the punils or the method of instruction employed ir the several branches, and shall make such suggestions, in private, to the teachers, as tr him shall appear necessary to the good order of the school and the progress of the pupils. It is his duty to aid the teachers in " 4-r\ thoiMCol ir illl ptupn CllUi 13 IV llllpivsv^ uiviiiovifv^ their profession. For this purpose he should encourage the formation of associations oi teachers for common improvement, attend such meetings, and give such advice and instruction as would contribute to their greater efficiency. He should, when deemed advisable by the County Board of Examiners apportion a sum not to exceed two hundred dollars for the support of Teachers' Institutes. (Notwithstanding the fact that the State Superintendent, at the beginning ol the year, called the attention of the County School Commissioners to their authority to make such appropriation, and to the importanceof this Institute work, these Institute.' were held in but four of the thirty-foui counties of the State during the past year.) Many incompetent men have been elected County School Commissioner since the free school system was established. Could onehalf of the present incumbents successfully stand an examination, properly conducted, on the last series of first grade questions senl out from the State Superintendent's office V Maybe they could. This scribe is afraid they could not. How can any improvements be effected' We hope this question will be thoroughly discussed in the columns of the papers of the State. We make a few suggestions. I right, we ask for endorsement; if wrong we invite correction. First, the salary of this office should be increased. It should pay at least the old salary?a thousand dollars a year. Largei salaries may not diminish the number o aspirants for the office, but they would certainly improve the quality of such patriotie seekers. A poor Commissioner is dear ai any price. A good one deserves a good sala ry; and if such an officer is wanted, such f price must be paid. Second, the law which disqualifies a teach er of a free school from holding the office should be repealed. That thisofficer should be a teacher is clear from the law abo\'( quoted. As the law stands, only privatt teachers are eligible. A private teachei will not exert himself to improve the free 1. ---1 I- ~ 1 i-L.. 4. .U scnoois, wnen fit; kuuws mat suuii suuuui; well managed destroy private schools. Lei this section of the law be repealed, and lei the Commissioner teach a free school anc draw his pay as a teacher, just as he now draws his salary as Commissioner. (If oui first suggestions were made a law, then thi< one would be withdrawn.) If paid enougl to justify him in doing so, the Commission er should be required to give his whole time to the work. But as the law now stands, al lowing this officer to work but 200 days i year and paying him $3.00 per day, ever} man who tills the office will have some oth er business, and might he not teach a fre( school, with as much propriety as farm, 01 preach, or practice law, or administer pills? Third, the term of office should be extend ed. In two years a man canncot beome fa miliar with the dutiesof the office, and wel acquainted with the teachers and people o the county. Why should our sheriffs anci clerks serve four years and our Commissioners but two years ? Fourth, this office* should be appointed by the State Board of Examiners. This if the law in some of the States. An elected officer is afraid to remove, or even reprove an inefficient trustee, lest thistrustee's influence should be used against him in the next election. The number of school districts in the counties of the State runs from five it; Charleston to fifty-four in Orangeburg From fifteen to one hundred and sixty-twc influential citizens in different sections of a county are a strong factor in county politics The man who hangs on people's votes is afraid to refuse a certificate to, or revoke the certificate of, any teacher, lest said teacher's friends should support the other fellow nexl time. Let our State Board appoint oui School Commissioners. Before they can dt so the constitution must be changed. Bui as this instrument was made for the people, and not the people for it, let the necessary changes be made. Public Schools. THE HISTOKY OF WHEAT. As the staple article of food and commerce wheat has been known from the earliest ages. It is not known to exist in othei than a cultivated state. It is supposed tc have originated in Central Asia, but recenl discoveries have thrown some doubt on that point. M. Fabre, of France a distinguished naturalist, made the discovery several year.5 ago that the .Egilops ovata, a grass of the region near the Mediterranean, and of the west of Asia, becomes transformed by culam Tb n nAOO S K i 1 J f \r /\f IIVHUUU 1 iltu >Yiicai? nig puooiwintj wi such a transformation has been confirmed by subsequent observations and experiments. Wheat was thechief crop in ancient Egypt and Palestine, and is more frequently mentioned in Scripture than any other kind ol grain, where its bountiful yield and its important relations to the sustenance of human life afford a theme for many beautful lessons. The granaries of Egypt and other centres of ancient civilization were often of immense size and were conspicuous objects among the public edifices of the time, (irains of wheat have been found in the wrappings of Egyptian mummies which had retained their power of germination through the lapse of centuries. Although the Greeks, and more particularly the Spartans, affected to despise agriculture as a degrading pursuit, they were obliged to devote considerable attention to wheat raising as a means of livelihood. Hesiod, one of the earliest Greek poets, in his "Works and Days," makesfrequent mention of wheat. Among the Romans wheat raising, in common with other branches of agriculture, was prosecuted with vigor and success. Roman writers on agriculture give particular directions in regard to the cultivation of wheat. It imentioned by Virgil in his "Georgics." Wheat was early introduced into Great Britain, but until very recent times its production was so limited that only the wealthier r>l?ssr*mild afford to use it as food. Men tion is made of the fact that in the eighth century the monks of the abbey of St. Edmund,'in England, ate barley bread because the income of the abbey was not sufficient to admit of their using wheat. Jn England down to the close of the seventeeth century servants and other working people were obliged to content themselves with bread made from the coarser grains. Eden in his "History of the Poor" (1797) says: "So small was the quantity of wheat used in the county of Cumberland, that it waronly a rich family that used a peck of wheat in the course of the year, and that was used at Christmas. The usual treat for a stranger was a thick oat cake (called haver bannock) and butter. An old laborer remarks that when he was a boy he was at Carlisle market with his father, and wishing to in dulge himself with a penny loaf made ol wheat flour, he searched for it for some . time but could not procure a piece of wheaten bread at any shop in town." At the period of the revolution in 1089, the quantity of wheat grown in England was estimated at 14,000,000 bushels, or about 1 {three bushels to each of the population, " which was then under five million. In 1881J ' j the product of wheat in England and Scot' land was estimated at KM),000,000 bushels. > In 1880 the area of wheat growing in the United States was 35,430,333 acres and the ' yield was 439,483,137 bushels, or thirteen bushels per acre. The value of the crop waf 1 estimated at $482,456,293. The increase in " Droduction between 1870 and 1880 was near ! I ly sixty per cent. ? I DOG TEAMS~OF SIBERIA. ' ! Engineer ZMellville, of the lost Jeanette, ; ! in his hook describing the search for Corau mander DeLong, thus tells how the native 1 | Yakuts cover long distances by aid of dog ' I teams: There are interesting descriptions . | of the huts of these Yakuts, their mode o; i life, their food and manners, which are toe | "highly flavored" to quote. Their mode ol ; conveyance by dog teams is worth a few ' words. "There were eleven dogs in oui team, the largest weighing about forty-five ' and the lightest about twTenty-five pounds and they make the icy air resound with . their discordant solos and chorus. I seated myself sideways on the sled with my feet 1 trailing on the ground or snow, allowing room in front for Vassilli. Composing him| self he seized the great iron-shod staff with which he guides the sled dogs, and when ir i ill-temper beats them, too, and grasping th( ' bows of the sled gave it gentle sway, shout ing the while to the team. Away we wenl 1 with the dogs in full cry, all yelping, snap1 ping, biting and seizing>ach other from be} hind, those in front turning round to fighl I back until some were drawn off their feet ! and dragged along at a fearful rate; Vasilli, yelling at the top of his voice, coaxed, scold! ed and anathematized, by turn, until al ' length, by dint of twisting and rolling over, the team became entangled into one living 1 mass of vicious flesh. To pacify and disen<-.\? 1a /mnnirniinmoo Toci 111 laono/l II nr\n (.illicit; iiic ti vauiucof ? noun icupw upuu them with his iron-pointed guiding staff, and the only astonishment to me was how : the brutes could live under such a heavy basting. It is true, some of them, after re[ ceiving a severe blow on the small of t4*e ' back, did drag their hind legs for a few \ minutes, but in the end it did not seem to check their desire to bite and fight. Yel 1 they were considerably more tractable aftei ' their first beating, and ran along at a more [ even pace, following the leaders, who in turn are guided and governed by VasilliV ' word of command. "Directly the dogs had outlived their ex ! citement and settled strictly to their work ' they looked beautifully picturesque, with heads down and manes and tails up anc ' wagging, while only an occasional yelp bursi , from their ranks as they scudded along th( , ravines and over rivers, taking the top o the hard snow at about six miles an hour , After a run of an hour or less the dogs arc usually brought to a stop and permitted t< [ rest; whereupon they stroll around and rul * the rime out of their eyes and ears, anc from their heads, and then stretching out > lick their paws, which soon become ver^ sore from travel. A team can seldom en [ dure more than ten days' continuous work | for, no matter how well fed, the feet weai ' out and bleed, and the dogs are shortly S( ' enfeebled as to be almost useless. A native | will not willingly drive his team two day: ' in succession, the custom being to travel one t day and rest the next." i Frigiitkxixo Childuex.?With pain ful frequency we hear of cruel "practica * jokes" perpetrated upon little children - Again and again comes to us the old stor^ I of a child frightened into convulsions by i J playfellow who "only wanted to have ? J little fun." One would think that incident: r like this had been enacted and told wit! ghastly iteration often enough from genera i tion to generation to warn off the most in corrigible fun-lovers and fools from the per t ilous ground. The progress of the witles; I plot is generally the same up to a certair 7 point. There is neither originality noi r variety in the favorite mode of execution 3 It sounds trite in the telling. A figur< 1 wrapped in the conventional sneet lurkin* in the dark corner; a spring upon the un * suspecting victim, selected because he is th< most timorous or delicate of the family oi i yphnnl ? rlismnv. shrieks of ancruish blen ' with goblin laughter?then a difference ir the ending. Sometimes no apparent harn J is done, unless that one chiklis made mori timid, another more cruel. Again the ner ) vous system is unbalanced so far that - swoon, or as in the case before us, convul sions ensue. Once in awhile the innocen I subject of a practical joke pays for his tor f mentor's prank with his reason or his life ' In a less flagrant manner incalculable mis chief is done in many nurseries by tales o ghosts, bogies, the black man who come: I down the chimney to catch children wh< will not go to sleep quietly, etc. The moth I er is culpable who, when she finds her chile 5 unduly timid, does not watch narrowly foi indications that the nervous organism o t her offspring has been tampered with, anr 1 who, should her suspicions be confirmed ? does not follow the clue to its source anc banish the criminals from her household.? 1 Babyhood. What a Sponge Is.?"It is only tin ; skeleton of a sponge that is commonly ; used in removing dirt," Prof. Bickmore > says. "A substance that in the anima ; sponge is analagous to the finger nails of the human hand. The sponges are found ir i various portions of the world, gathered ir t masses below the surface of the water. The , youthful sponge first makes its appearance r on the outer border of the adult in the form of a cell which gradually increases ir size and complexity until it bursts through the maternal tissue and floats at freedon through the ocean. It is very minute, ane for a time has an independent life. It if I sowing its wild oats, so to speak, but as il ( increases in size it attaches itself to its^nore t mature brothers and sisters and develop? with them into adult form. Sponges art gathered by means of grappling hooks, II They are floated to inclosed portions of tin ' i sea, where they are left until the exposure ; j of the sun and the wash of the sea leave? ; i nothing but the skeleton." I Ix the Sick Room.?The controversy as ; to keeping live plants in a room at nighl continues to be carried on with vigor and . acrimony, although most people have probably supposed that it was long since set al rest. At a medical conference recently held in France, it was demonstrated to the satisfaction of all the savants there present thai i plants, as long as they are plants only, may safely, and even with advantage, be admit.! ted to the elysium from which they have sc | often been exiled. These pretty ornaments, I as a learned writer now declares, "far from I being hurtful, are beneficial, inasmuch as | j they exhale a certain amount of o/.one and i vapor, which maintain a healthy dampness in the air, and, besides that, are destructive of the microbes which promote consumptive . tendencies in human beings. It is only . i flowers, and not the plants which bear them, ,; that do the damage. Ferns are innocuous; 11 roses and sunflowers are pernicious, at least while they are in bloom." ? ?? The IxnrsTitious Bee.?No wonder the ' bee is such an indefatigable worker.

Your ngent being in Columbus, Ga., n few days ago, and meetl ing the venerable brother J. H. Campbell, we asked him for the _ news. His reply was: "I have two more important cures, , effected liy Swift's Specific, to report." Tiiis venerable man is b known far and wide for his unremitting labors of love in be half of the poor of Columbus. It will be remembered that the Swift Specific Company have donated quite an amount of their * famous medicine, to be distributed by Mr. Campbell among the - poor of the city j hence his remark. He said: f "I have just seen a lady who has been greatly annoyed by a Tetter in one of her hands. It has given her much trouble * and nain. She said she had been treated by severnl physicians ) during the pnst three or four years with the old remedies, but without giving any relief. I suggested Swift's Specific, and she * took four bottles and is now apparently perfectly well. Her 1 hand is smooth nnd not a single sign of the disease left. It is [ marvelous hnwthis medicine renovates the system." f ''What about the other case."' * "Well, that was a lady also. She had been affected with the 1 eczeinn for four years. Her face, hani nnd arms, as well as hre body was covered over with sores and scabs. It was one of ' the worst cases of this terrible disease that I had ever seen. I The suffering of the poor crenttire was beyond expression. . She tried every remedy at command, including mercury and Iodide of potash, but she only grew worse. She was in this condition when I first saw the case. 1 soon lind Iter taking Swift's Specific, and she has now only taken two bottles, j hut every mark of the disease has almost entirely disappeared. " Her strength nnd general health have grentiy improved. It Ir ' one of the most remarkable cures that linscome under my ob} servatlon." "Mr. Campbell, you have had a long and varied experience In mingling with men, and observing tlteir afflictions and the i remedies used?what Is your opinion as to the merits of Swift's I Specific ?" "In a ministry of sixty years I have mingled with every class ' of society ami have observed closely the variety of diseases * which afflict humanity, Blood diseases are the most numerous ? nnd the most difficult to remove. It is my deliberate judgment ' that Swift's Specific is the grandest blood purifier ever discovi ered. There is nothing comparable to It. There Is nothing too I good to say about Swift's Specific."
