Apply at tty rate of about 200 pounds^ per acre . and if all at once put it on broadcast by band, or by plaster-sower, about the time the plants begin to cover the ground* and leave plots here and there all over the field without any, and one yraUr will tell plainly whether it will pay on your* soil. For ?eorn it should be put on the hills when the plants are two or three inters high. Take it in a bag over one shoulder, or in a pail on the left arm, and with a little practice you can ftick up with tho thumb and Angers he Tight quantity for a hill and by timing Ft *p and motion of hand you ?toqn get to go as fast as you can walk, tame take two rows and take sufficient in the hahd for two hills, throwing to tho right- and left as they p&*s a'.ong. Try this in the same way as recommended for clover, and one sea son will tell very clearly whether or not plaster will pay on that kind of soil? though this fact should be borne in mind, that plaster has much more and a much' better effect in some sea sons than in othors. in a season quite dry with frequent and light showers, plaster has always given mo tho be3t results. But the fact should be remembered, that plaster is in no sense a manure, and in and of itself has little or no value as plant-food. Just how it helps we cannot say, and yet the fact is indis putable that on certain plants on cer tain soils It does exert a wonderful lufluencttgjilpecially on clover, peas, potatoes WjLaometimes corn. Since, however, iW not a manuro but a stimulant, anytricrease of crop by its us$ only so much more and so much faster impoverishes opr land, and un less we follow such a system of {arm ing that we put back in real plant-food as much greater amount than ordinary as we remove in the increased crop, we shall And we are none the richer forcing plaster, but have only drawn our deposits from tho bank so much the sooner. But by so farming that we use the inbrefwe^ ctop of clover or other plants to feed the more stock and to make the mo^e manure, then the application of plaster will be one of the means to profit.

Incidents In a Philosophers Boyhood. Professor Jo3eph Henry, one of the most eminent of American scientists, died May 18, 1878. Recently his memory has been honored by the un veiling at Washington of a mag nificent bronze statue, made by W. M. Story, and costing $15,000. Among the interesting reminiscences of his boyhood is the story of his first pair of boots ? a true story, often told by himself in later years. When he was a boy, it was the uni versal custom to .have boots made to order, and his grandmother, with whom he was living, indulgently al lowed him to choose the style for him self. There was no great variety of styles. Indeed, the choice w^s limited to the question of round toes or square toe7. Day after day Joseph went to the cobbler's- and talked over the matter without coming to a decision, and this even after their manufacture was begun, unt 1 at last the shoe maker, fairly out of patience, took the dejislon into his own hands and made a most remarkable pair of boots? one boot round toed, the other square toed. Later in life Profossor Henry often came deliberately to his decisions, with the advantage that he seldom if ever had occasi* n to abandon them. While Joseph wa< a Bchoolboy he aoqu<red a taste for reading in this peculiar way: One day he chased a pet rabbit through an opening* in the foundation wall of the village meet ing house. While crawling about among dirt and rubbish a gleam of light enticed litta through the broken floor, and he found himself in a room containing titer1 opfcn tookcasr of tho town library. The title df ' one of ' the books struck his fancy and ho took it down. It was Brooks' "Fool of Quality," and he read, coming again and again through the hole inthetloor, until access by the door was granted him. From this first book thathe ever read with relish, he passed on eagerly to other works of fiction in that library. A few years lata*, in ft way almost equally accidenm'- his mind was turned to an entlroly different class of reading, 'Sarfo ? Confined at home by * temporary illness, he tooltip a book.casuallv left on the table bV ft boardeV, and entitled "L,ecturea$ on?*|&xperimontal philos ophy, Astronomy and Chemistry, in tended iptyefl? ;fpr the Use of Young Persons*. By & /Gregory.'' It began with amir questions : "You throw a stone* Qr shoot ^an fir row into the air; why does it n6t go forward in the line ;or direction that you give it? Why does noWlame or smoke always mount dpwaid, though no force is used tqi riend them in that difoctlon? And why should not the flame of a tandlo df op toward the floor ^hen you reverso it or hold It downward? Again/ybu look into a clear well of water uul see your own face and flj ure, a?

After bis death this be in Professor Henry's llbr following entry upffctir* . written in his own hand ; x ??This book, although by no lbeftns ft profound work, has, under Providence, exerted a remarkable influence upon my life. It accidentally fell into my hands when I was about sixteen years old. and was th3 flitat work I ever read with attention. It opened to me a new world of thought jtad enjoyment ; invested thing* before almost unnoticed with tho hlgheat interest ; fixed my mind on tho study of nature, and caused me to resolve at the time of reading it that I would Immediately commence to devote my llfy to the acquisition of knowledge." Many" yoAng men quit school at sixteen , years of age. They Bhould takealefion from' Joseph nenry, and regard education as not completed, but just begun. A fformandiEer. Alois Bausch, a German restaurant * of ^Cleveland, Ohio, bought a of young pigs of a farmer at Wapakonetft, ftnd engaged Christian Foster to bring the pigs to town. He offered Foster in payment all he could eft* and j drink. On arriving in town Bfctfech' fttarted out with Foster to fulfill the contract. All the saloons were visited, and Foster drank 155 " glasses of beer and ate eight dlnhes of two pigs that Foster's appetite mlgXt be appeased was ruled out of order.

MIVI ten A iMtfTMmhl Ml* MM at I JJM T?M Mn*r~H*w Ik* FMfll n.The Spree waid 1? a district about sixty miles from Berlin, where k Sclavic race, called- Vends, with different'man ners, customs and language from the Germans, exist. They are a branch of the Russian family of races which was mead over much country in Saxi&y. Thsy have a different language, and though there la but a' ?ma)lpa$ of it written, vet the Bible baa ben printed In IK They live now in the marshy lands of the river Sprte, and there is no more picturesque country in Ger many. -Very few travelers go to see it, but it will amply repay a visit. You go about in boats, as the country is entirely cut up by canals, and much of it is Inaccessible In any other way. ? An hour and a halrc hard walking, says a Berlin corresp< n lent, brought us to Bepg, where, after a dinner of kalbebraten (roast veal) and a glass of beer, I found a man who consented, for $1, to row me In to the Spree forest He procured a kahn, a long, narrow, flat-bottomed boj\t, e ght Indus deep, and throwing some hay into it, told me to lie down. Then, standing up, he pushed the boat along with a pole, dodging around >:orners and passing other boats with indescribable skill. He was a\ end, was this rower, and a peculiar-looking genius lie was. His broad straw hat came low down on his jovial face, sun-browned and red. His white cotton shirt was open at the neck. His feet were bare and red. His pantaloons were rolled half way to his knees, an 1 his arms were destitute of sleeves. A trembling black pipe hung between his teeth, and this shook as though about to fall whenever his muschs swelled in a hiavy push of tho boat. He was a Jolly fellow of forty, and I shall not soon forgot my visit to his home before starting. It was a small affair of two rooms, and a garret reached by a ladder. It was made of wood, and its roof was of thatch nearly a foot thick. Suth a ro^f he told me will Inst thirty years. In this little den he llve.l with his father and mother, and his wife and hisdaughter. The women jivere pla nly dressed in the Vendish style, and the daughter, a strapping girl of twenty, wa< quite a beauty. Her arms and fest wero bare, bhe wore a red skirt, and a velveteen bodice of blue, cut very low in tho neck and having sit eves not over an inch long, out of which came a pair of arms of red and white? enough color to have been one of Ruben'a models. Her eyes were brown, her fa e was rosy, plump and op^n. Her hair showed a forehead of Groi'k cast, and it was gathered back into a knot under the very picturesque cap peculiar to the Vends ? half hood, half bonnet, adorned at the end with two long strings, which floated down the back. Such is a Vendish beauty in her every day costume. My host asked me to eat with them, and though I had just had my dinner the affair was so novel that I took my seat with the others at the table. There wero no plates, knives or forks. The sole eatables were a pot of mush, very like that we make of corn meal in America and a di?h of lettuce. The mush was put on the table in the same iron pot in which it had bee n boiled, and we ate it with iron table spoons, which each dipped in from time to time. The salad was eaten in the same wjw. A spoonful of mush ariti a spoonful of salad, they worked away until the pot was as clean as the famous platter of Jack Sprat t and his fat-eating wife. Remember this was the big meal of the day, the break fast and supper In Germany I elng less than the noon meal. The fathor made no apology for his scanty table, and he ivM^ntly thought it good enough for one. x laid down in the boat and com posed myself- for the journey. Now, we would go through the luxuriant meadows, on which, for it was harvest t'me, the young men and the pic turesque damsels were cutting the ffrass, loading it on boats and pushing t on tho cnnals to their barns. The banks of tho smaller canals are so near that you can almost pick the flowers that adorn them as you go .'az.ly through. Now you shoot off into a great forest, and f< r miles your eyes .can hardly see tho sun through the leafy trees which make an arbor over you. Houses and villages are passed now and pgain, and every human soul you meet, froip the child to tho old man, sing out a " Guten Morgan."
