USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Do not plow ground for Indian corn until the surface na» become ao warm that the seed will germinate and come up in a few day*. Do not feel discouraged about raisings faircnop of American potatoes, because the Colorado potato-beetle damaged your potatoesriast season. A small quantity of Paris green will repel those pests. Spots from sperm candles, stearine, and the like, should .be softened and removed by ninety-five per cent, alcohol, the* sponged off with a weaker alcohol and a small quantity of ammonia added to it. The disagreeable smell made by cabbage when cooking may be annihilated by putting a tiny piece of washing soda, not larger than the top of a letu-pencil, in the pot. This ais great discovery, and should be heralded from Maine to California.— Exchange. Holding white cotton or linen over the fumes of burning sulphur, and wetting in warm chlorine water, will take out wine or fruit stains. The sooner the remedy is applied after any of these spots or stains are discovered the more (nectual the restoration. Aside from the consideration of location, tne value of a farm consists in its ability to produce. Farmers often want to increase the number of acres, when they might about double the produce from from wnat they have. They are too eager to enlarge their farms. There is nothing in the routine of common management and treatment worse than to bring a team in, sweaty and tired, from the road or fields, when the spring air is cool and damp, and put it into a stable where a current of wind strikes and chills the flesh and muscles. Young growing animals now need food which contains a large portion of albuminoids or nitrogenous food for the formation of bone and muscles; and if they do not have.it they will be weak and of small frame. Oqp ot the best foods is wheat bran. Mixed with corn makes a better feed still.— Detroit Tribune. Colored cottons or woolens stained with wine or fruit should be wet in alcohol and ammonia, then sponged off gently —not it the material will warrant it, washed in tepid Bilka may be wet with this preparation when injured by these stains. A writer in the Farm Jcurnal recommends those preparing for a flower garden, to depend mainly on old standard varieties, which are always reliable. He recommends a dozen kinds, and here are the names of them: Asters, balsams, dianthus, petunias, phlox, calliopsis, verbenas, sweet peas, mignonette, cinnias, marigolds aud'portulaccas. When the soil is thin and the subsoil is lacking in fertility, it is better to plow shallow, unless one has access to a generous supply of muck and barnyard manure. But, when the soil is deep and rich and the subsoil is full of mineral or inorganic elements which must be exposed to the influences of frost, rain and sunshine before they can be Mailable to growing plants, then plow deep. Successful nurserymen, who know that a deep, well-prepared soil is beat for trees, often furnish some of the finest specimens of large, profitable farming in the crops which they obtain from the vacant portions of their land, which should encourage farmers to discard superficial and adopt thorough culture, provided always they have manure sufficient to fertilize all the soil that is turned up by the plow. —A. Y. Her did.

Co-Operation Among Farmers.

Of all the co-operative experiments made in this State, only two, that we know of, have been successful; and they strange to say, amohg a class of persons who were thought to know least about the principle of co-operation, and to have the fewest facilities tor testing its virtue. The examples referred to are the Jackson (Cape Girardeau) Co-operative Association and the Grangers’ Co-operative Store at Portland, in Callaway County. The former, which has been in operation about eight months, made its first semi-annual statement in February, declaring a dividend of sixteen per cent, to stockholders and a dividend to non-stockholders on the amount of purchases of eight per cent. This, being a semi-annual dividend, is at the rate of thiny-two per cent, profit to stockholders. We take the figures from the Jackson Gath-Book, which does not give the amount of capital of the association, nor any details of its operations. The Portland store, with a capital of only $2,100, sold goods to the amount of about SIO,OOO during the first year of its existence, making a clear profit of SO7O over all expenses, and declaring a dividend of fprty per cent, to its stockholders. This store was organized by the local and the money furnished by farmers alone. Only Grangers are allowed to be stockholders in it. The business is conducted for the stockholders by a clerk at a salary of fifty dollars a month, who seems to be well qualified for the position; He and the operations of the store are subject to the supervisron of a committee of the stockholders, who meet at the store once a month to receive the report and examine the books. Although very little has been done in the way of co-operation in this country, and many experiments in it have ended in humiliating failure, these examples show what ean be done. It is true they are humble of origin, and not striking in their first exhibit', but they are not as humble as the famous experiment among the stocking-weavers of Rochdale, England, in 1824,' which has grown into a business of millions. The Jackson and Portland stores are perfect examples of success; the first caused one dollar of invested capital to grow into $1.16 in six months, and the other has caused one dollar of invested capital to grow into $1,40 m a year—and this, too, at a time when business on the average 'shows more losses than profits. There is no reason why these examples should not be imitated by farmers all over the State. There is nothing complex in co-operation; the principle of it is very simple. The capital is subscribed and paid in cash, and all goods are sold for cash, and cash only—even a stockholder not being allowed to buy without paying the money down for his purchases. The goods are not Cold at cost; the advantages of the principle are not sought in that way. The rule is to sell at the current rates prevailing in the neighborhood, or very nearly; and at the end of six months there is declared a moderate dividend of 5, 8 or 10 per cent, oatbe whole amount of goods sola—which goes to all customers, whether they are stockholders or not—and the remainder of the profits is distributed among the stockholders as a dividend on the capital. The dividend to customers is intended to invite purchasers, and has been found a very effectual way of doing it If this dividend be eight per cent., a

customer who .has bought fifty dollars' worth of goods will receive four dollars in cash. One who has lx>ught SIOO will receive eight dollars. In other words, the money ne has laid out in family supplies buvs as much as if laid out anywhere else, and perhaps a little more, and yields him a dividend of eight per cent, beside. The stockholder receives a dividend on the amount of hi* purchases, and one on his stock in addition—thereby receiving double advantage. The real secret of success in the system is the cash method of doing business; there are no losses, through the failure of customers; no lawsuits, and no complex bookkeeping; and asmallamountof capital, being always available, can be turned over several times in die year, and thus made to yield a large aggregate dividend or several moderate profits. The advantage to farmers of buying for cash is not to be overlooked, for it is one of the most important ultimate effects of the principle. Anything that teaches Missouri farmers as general rule not to go in debt, and to do without what they cannot pay down for, would be worth millions to the State. —St. Louie Republican.

A Propagating Secret.

UNDERthiahead the London Gardener'* Chronicle Bays: “It will be remembered that a month or two ago we alluded to an alleged extraordinary secret for propagating trees and grafting roses, whereby much time could be saved, offered for a small sum by an Austrian nurseryman, named Bachraty. This gentleman has since communicated an article on the subject to the Wiener Gartenfreimd. Briefly, his new method is as follows: Cuttings of shrubs and trees are taken off at the beginning of July, from sit inches to twelve inches long, according to the kind. The leaves are removed from the lower portion, which is to enter the ground: but those which will come above ground are left. Beds are prepared for them in the open air, by thorough digging and leveling, and afterward applying a superficial layer, about two inches thick, of rotten manure from a spent hotbed. The cuttings are then stuck in about two inches apart and in a somewhat oblique direction. Each .bed, when filled, is surrounded with a lath fence, so that shade may be given when the sun is very hot, and the cuttings are well watered with a rose-spouted can. This completes the operation. The only further care necessary is a sprinkling overhead three or four'times a day during the first week, if the weather be very hot; and once a day afterward, in the course of five or six weeks, treated in the manner indicated, the cuttings of most plants will have formed a callus, and further shading will be unnecessary. Late in the autumn a layer of rough manure, two or three inches thick, is spread over, for winter protection. It also serves as manure when the cuttings start growing in the spring; and cuttings treated thus make extraordinary progress, forming plants equal to two-year-old plants from winter or spring cuttings. Very few, it is asserted, fail. The new method of grafting roses is the insertion of growing eyes early in spring, instead of dormant eyes in the summer. They are inserted in the main stem, one on each side, to form symmetrical heads. These make, it is said, as much growth the first season as the dormant eyes the second season."

The Sea-Serpent and the Savants.

If any one is still subject to the recurrent alarm that the men of science are beginning to assume an authority similar to that they have overthrown and to be the Popes of the future (with power to explode the world chemically if they are not obeyed), he will do well to observe the deference with which the formidable savants have gradually yielded to the accumulated testimonies ot" sailors with regard to the sea-serpent, although the existence of such monsters was quite unprovided for in their zoological theories. I remember, more than twenty years ago, when Prof. Agassiz was taking his class *on a scientific excursion .along the Coast of Nahant, he paused on a rock, and in his own graphic way gave a summary of the narratives of the sea-serpent said to have been seen near there. One of our class indulged in some ridicule of the monster, but Agassiz checked him, and said that it was a matter which must not be dismissed without further investigation. The important mass of testimony which has accumulated on the subject has been carefully reviewed in the March number of that excellent old periodical, the Gentlemen'» Magazine, by Prof. Richard A. Proctor, in a paper, entitled “ Strange Sea Creatures.” After sifting the evidence cautiously, Prof. Proctor arrives at the conclusion that at least one large marine animal exists which has not as yet been classified among the known species of the present era; that this animal has a serpentine neck, and a head small as compared with its body; that it is an air-breather, probably warm-blood-ed, and certainly carnivorous; that its pro{telsive power being great, and apparently ndependent of its undulations, it presumably has concealed paddles. Those circumstances correspond with the belief that it is the enalioxaurian, or modern representative of thelong-necked pleeioeaurue of the Mesozaic era, a member of that strange family whose figure resembles a serpent drawn through the body of a sea-turtle. That it is so much larger than any fossil remains of the same family which have been found, may be accounted for by the fact that if one or two of them should survive at all, it naturally would be through their gigantic size and strength. Mr. Proctor thinks the of huge cuttle-fish exaggerated, but believes In the gigantie tad-pole—2oo feet in lengthseen in the Malacca Straits by officers of the Nestor, and at first mistaken for a shoal. Dr. Andrew Wilson, who captured the ribbon-fish, sixty feet long, also believes that there is some sea-monster which mariners occasionally see. Prof. Gosse holds the same view. Prof. Owen, thirty years ago, suggested that the monster might be the sea elephant (Phocaprobotcidea), which is sometimes thirty feet long; but he has had nothing to say of the evidences and descriptions adduced since then, and the notable silence of the zoologists generally must be regarded as their consent to the main fact—that gigantic monsters exist, though as yet “ unknowable.”—if. D. Conway, in Cincinnati Commercial. There has been trouble in the San Francisco mint at the discovery that the double eagles made from the new dies are thicker than the old ones, though of the same weight, twenty of the new coins being 1 68-64 inches high, or 8-64 more than the others. The merchants complained of the inequality, and, after $820,000 had been issued, the coinage was stopped. The same difference was found at the Philadelphia mint, but it is now ascertained that the zew thickness is the correct one, and the coinage has been resumed.

Rich in the Bible.

Some may a?k, " How can I become Bible rich ?” In reply, I can give you, of course, onlv the most general directions. First, I would say to every young convert, and indeed to every reader without exception, identify yourself at once with the Sundav-School, join some class, and begin immediately the study of the International Lessons. This will give you a definite portion of Scripture to study, save your time, and keep you from rambling at will through the Word. If you begin such study every Sabbath, look out the marginal references, carefully examine the chapters between the lessons, make your reading every day Bear upon your Sunday topic, you will find a conscious growth. Continue this course steadily, and you will acquire a most valuable acquaintance. with the Scriptures. These lessons are Intended to take a general survey of the whole Bible in seven years. To do your work well, you need Bible helps; just the best your circumstances will allow. Even if vour means are quite limited, be resolved to have good Bible helps, and you will succeed. Many young men OT young ladies think they cannot afford a good Bible, concordance, or dictionary, and yet they wear on their persons jewelry which cost more than any or all of these. If you really desire Bible wealth, count good helps as neceuariet of life, to be as carefully provided as flour or fuel. Those who nave time will do well to select some particular book, as a gospel or epistle, and give it a thorough study. One book .well read throws great light on the whoJelßible. In this case select such a book" as is adapted tQ your age, circumstances and Christian progress. Consult your pastor. Another excellent method is to study the Scriptures topically. . . . You will gain much it you study particular graces, examining all the passages in which they are mentioned, and in which examples of them are recorded. Do this in respect to those graces in which yt>u feel yourself specially deficient. Are you impatient, easily discouraged ? Is it hard to deny yourself, to obey, to love others, to be forgiving? Do you want to grow m your relations as husband, wife, parent or child? to abound in hope or Christian joy? to have power in prayer? Examine each of these topics, and strengthen yourself by its stuuy; it will ieave~a lasting impression on your soul. In short, be thoroughly in earnest to become Bible-rich, and you will soon find what, for you, is the best plan of study. Never forget that the Word of Christ is designed to nourish and purify the spiritual life. Come to it with the same design. Mere intellectual study will not find its richest treasures. Even Sophocles, a heathen poet, has said: “ A heart of mildneae, full of good intent, Far soon than acuteness, will the truth hold."To aid this spiritual study, form the habit of at once turning into prayer what you read. This will enable you both to reach tnl hidden riches of the Word, and also add interest and freshness to prayer, for the want of which it often becomes dull and formal. Form the habit of committing Scriptures to memory, especially the devotional parts. In the days of sorrow, of declining years, and of death, you will esteem them more precious than gold. It was a most instructive aspect of that hour in which Arnold, of Rugby, passed from abounding health to the silence of death, that he repeated with such calm earnestness his favorite passages of Scripture. Mrs. Augustus Hare, one of the most intelligent and love)j Christians of modern times, was carried by slow and painful stages from Rome to England, that she might die at home. She wrote: “Yes, I know the Psalms. Many a time it keeps me quiet for hours to know and repeat them. I should never have got through my journey, if I had not had so many to repeat, to still my impatience." Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.—Rev. Wwi. Jf. Haigh. in Standard.

The Two Keys.

I have a safe in my office. It is not very large, and never contains any great amount of money. I* have a key with which I can open the safe whenever I choose, and take out whatever is in it. This, however, does not enrich me. I can get out only what I put in, and that is very little. There is another safe down town. It is in a bank on California street. That safe is large, it contains millions of dollars. To it there is a costly combination lock, and also, for the inner cash chamber, an immense brass key. I do not eontrol the key. I could not unless I should become the cashier of that bank. But I went there the other day with a little slip of paper, signed by a well-known depositor. I presented that slip of paper to the cashier. He took the big key, unlocked the large box in the safe, and gave me a handful of gold that was tied up there. If the paper had called for thou, sands instead of tens of* dollars I would have obtained them; for the name on that paper was good there for almost any amount. As I wont away with my money I thought how wonderful thatbitof paper. What an ** open sesame” it was to one of the largest safes in the city. How much better it was than my little key; for it secured to me the use of the large key in

my behalf. But why waa that slip of paper so potent? Because there was a good name on it. And is not every promise of Christ just such a slip of paper. He writes by his Inspired apostle, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name that will I do," and immediately repeats it, “If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it." (John xiv. 18, 14.) Again, in the next chapter, He says: “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto yon." And yet again, in the sixteenth chapter: “ Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be nill."— Dr. Babb, in Herald and Presbyter.

Sunday-School Management.

It is more and more evident that the best Sunday-Schools are managed with the least noise; that teachers and scholar* are fully as ready to be quiet as is the Superintendent.' The call-bell is a far less important. factor in Sunday-School management than formerly. In many schools it has hardly a place left to it. In one Philadelphia school, for example, the Superintendent has it understood that when he is ready to open the school exercises he will step into his desk, and that his appearance there shall be counted the signal for the school to come W order, and so again at the close of the lesson hour. So thoroughly is this school under the quiet influence of that leader, that when, a few Sundays since, the Superintendent stepped into his desk merely for a > moment, during the hour for class recitations, almost instantly the buzz of voices hushed, and the contagion of silence swept over the room until all was profoundly still. This result was unlooked for by the Superintendent; but it well Illustrates the truth that the best way of bringing a large Sunday-School to order is not by making more noise than scholars ani teachers combined. — SundaySchool Time*. —One of the urchins who was rummaging around behind the stores yesterday came across an old print of Gen. Lee, and. after dusting i| off, he took it into one of the groceries, called the head clerk, and, after holding up the picture before him, asked: “Don’t you think that’s a perfect image of me?" The clerk was forced to say that he saw no similarity, the one being a bearded man, while the boy was young and smooth-faced. “Well,” said the youngster, as he thoughtfully criticised his treasure, “ I guess I’ll send it along to her anyway, ’cause the whiskers won’t make any difference, an’ if a gal is goin’ to have any pictur of a fellow she loves, she wants one that shows up a standin’ collar, a plaid vest and a soft look in the eyes to make her think he’s clean gone on her." — Fulton (N.
