Subsoiling and Trenching.

Qur systems of cultivation, as .well as the style, of crop We, raise with which to make imoney, vary with different decades and seem to go ia vmm lJiFot instance, in Micidgao. twelve yeajtjkre there was a great tendency tot vrtlrafcep.flowing for corn, while to-dayl the best;Ocrn farmers plow.a shallow furrow for thatcrop. • j ■ But, bsttelß as it may, for geceial farmingiupomany but the lightest of' soils, it is dflSoAttif tophive a good dqptli under cdravatiM, Jnd by ißcreaaing the depth ‘“ ou “ ° r However, the promiscuous atjrocacy of subeoiline uxon all lands is a mistake, for aftfc*g*%l4glrt help,a crop upoh heavy soil, that is, not underdrained, w stir tue ground to twice the depth of ordinary phaHn'4,tatiii*i* Hfiults prpbsbly.will not requite the termer for the additional labor, lie cause the lower soil will very shortly settle back into its old compact, solid state and no permanent good is gained. mWKMtJrtap hnahandiy deep tillage muat follow immediately upon the footsteps of thorough drainage, acienaftregafeateg to thifl'iirtflteHfilrataidal experience has . if, mtlpbjk spy. tlm roots or plants the stronger and more gsssMMJtsapia the growth cf roots.; these pnsk into and of ftodere for the plant system a Dove.

The cold; clammy nature of this mwleraptl has bean-go modified bv the ohchy df the organic saossHs doubled and of pty^terjlirough. This subsoiling process is nht generally vWfil understdod. It require* an implement bn purpose for the work*, which is to foliOW the ortinary plow, not for the purpose of stirring up the sOft and then throwing it to the surface, but just to The moat approved form of the imple*elll tbe* wcowwrk of an ordinary plow, and ia place)of the working part of the plow, is a wedge-shaped foot set at the bottom of a strong shank. This foot is made to pitch downward, so that the ten-

m; dency of thejplow is to go in deeper continuously. From the appearance of the ordinary subaoiler one would not get the impression that it would cteate much commotion, but its work ia thorough and excellent, stirring tire soil vertically and horicontally in a moat satisfactory manner. ’ This is not the only use of a subsoil plow upon a farm. It can be so adjusted that it can be used with a single horse in a corn-field, and once through each row in the earlier stages of growth is an excellent method or preparing for the later extended root system. Another Use we have heard of, and seems quite piacticable, is in the stirring up of hide-bound meadows where it is desired not to turn them over. Tbo subsoller, drawn by a heavy three-horse team, ia put through the meadow once two feet. No tun is removed, but the soil below is all loosened. After this process a good dressing of manure is given and a thorough rolling, when the meadow is as good as new. Trench plowing is a 'different process, and is not resorted to in our country very much as yet, and does nut seem so suited to our wants. It is accomplished with a heavy mold board plow cast for the purpose, which is preceded by an ordinary plow. In this practice the subsoil is tlurown immediately to the surface and mixed with the top soil. In the preparation of a garden the use of the subsoil is of the greatest importance, particularly when there is a substratum of retentive soil. It is to be hoped that the subsoil plow may become a more common accompaniment to the farm, and this will be the result if in a few instances through the country it can be given a careful test.— Detroit Fru Frees. *

He Kept a Trap.

The tax-collector’s duty i 3 never a pleasant one. Least of all can it be se in much taxed England, where the motive to* bother and snub the frequent-oenring officer is much stronger than with m. To appreciate the amusing instance here given, the American reader needs to remember that “ trap” is a name otmmonly applied in England to a certain kind ot WagonOfcariisgc. "• A few days ago an engraver in .Bristol, England, happening to look through his shop window, observed an eldeoly-gentle-man, whom he recognized as an excise officer, attentively scanning the outside of his premises. Alter satisfying his curi osity by an outside inspection, he entered the shop, note-book and pencH iin hand, and opened a conversation with the proprietor. “Mr. J., I believe?” “ Yes, I am Mr. J.” “ You keep a trap, I understand?” “Yes.” “ Have vou a license for that trap ?” “ No.” Down goes an entry of tliistoandid admission in the note-book. “Did you have a license laatyear ?” “ No.” Another entry in the book. “ Why did you not take out ® license!” “ I did not think it was neesseary.” “ How many does your trapefeola ?” “Five.” Another memorandum. “ How many wheels has it?” “None.” “ None! Why, whatsort of strap is it?” “ A mouse-trap.”— Toutkkt'Companion.

The Striped Bug.

This is the scamp that-sets up our cucumbers, melons, squashes and pumpkins, and are such a nuisance-that they are nearly, enough to make a . man fall from grace, if mat were sariptnrally possible. This bug has wings, Bur has a clumsy use of them. It ftics along close to the ground, and against .anything which obstructs its progress. .This habit of this pest has caused thinking men to invent an article to peccant its, depredations, which is good for other-purposes. When there is leisure (and there Jb as been a plenty in winter), make some boxes about ten- Inches square, without top or bottom. Place these shout the hills of the, vines, pressing it down into the ground to prevent the hugs from ciawling under," and they will seldom..find the vines, as they do not crawl over such obstructions. Beside, these boxes keep off cold spring winds smrf the plants come fortvard much faster; and if the leather is cold and chilly a square of glass put over the box will aid materially in the frowth of the plants. And if there is anger ot frost, a board or piece ot carpet thrown over the box will protect the vines. In this way they will be protected from Bugs, winds and fros(£, and Will be much earlier. The boxes will coet but little, taking only four feet «f boards and anyone can make them. They will last a jlife-time if taken care of. We have brown t.'jardeners get crocks made for the purpose, but boxes are better and cheaper.— lowa Btate Register.

How a Broker Earned Fifty Dollars.

Mr Williax Barker, * 'well-known Sew York broker, stepped urio the olfce of a down-town soap-ra&uufaoturer a few d%7s ago, and complained of the dullness of business. “ I can make if lively fc.f yam,” said the soap man. “I can pet Vos. in fhc way df making fifty dollars la minutes: but I know you woukl back. out. ” * c Show me the chance, ’ ’ sail’ the broker. “ anti If I back 0H(1 will give you i55.b00.” “Well,” stud the soap man; “ I will give you fifty dollars if you) will take one of my large advertising! signs, put it On your breast, carry it up!

Bootblacks, newsboys and Wall street messengers shouted and cheered, and brokers rushed from their ofltaes to the street to ascertain the cause of the excitement. Mgr ii ' In exactly fifteen minutes Mr. Balkar reported at tlie soap man’s office and was paid hi# fifty dollars. As he pocketed the money and wiped his forehead, he exclaimed : “ I would not carry that sign again in Wall street for ten thousand.'’ ... —— <« « —The “hard times” have continued 8e tong that they have hardened into adamant, and nothing less than the vigorous and persistent blows of the sledge-ham-mer of -industry will ever break them.

Donation Visits.

The custom of making donation visits to thopastor, or “ pounding” him, as it has oetne to be called, seems to be growing. vWe like these tokens of love—provided that the pastor is first paid f(not promised) a sufficient salary. But as a substitute for a salary they are a heartbreaking performance. When the minister has not bread for his children, when he has long been suffering for the want-of necessary books, when his wife has-not a decent dress, it will not tend to soothe his feelings to present him with handsomely worked slippers, pin-cushkaa and tidies, or even with a gold watch and chain, which he cannot sell,, and is ashamed to wear aver a shabby vest. Let the salary be paid first—a salary sufficient to meet his wants—before presenting him with tokens of love. Let justice be fLret-ttone, then let affection be displayed. 'Give-the workman his wages before insulting him with a gratuity. When the Church Treasurer has the pastors receipt in his pocket it kdinie enougk to think of arranging a donation or a pounding party. When the salary is Eaid, and & large enough salary to meet is wants, then, kind reader, add to it whatever is in your heart to do, that you think avill make the pastor’s lot more cheerful or happier. At heat, it is net an easy life, when he does his duty. There may be sections whore it is difficult or impossible to raise the salary in money-t-is it not in such cases allowable to supplement it with a donation visit of those things of which farmers and oountry housewives have an abundance, and the pastor and his family need ? In this case aisotthe business course is the best. Let the pastor select what he and his family reauire, and let it be reckoned .as a part of hie salary at the sums which the farmer could get from his commission merchant—not at the highest retail prides. The pastor can suit himself better/than others can i suit him. He and his wife know the wants of his family better than the congregation do, and can make his salary go farther, if they indicate what 4s needed,' than if he is robbed of half of it on the pies dhat he has had * donation party. See ghat the salary is first paid -in money or its.equivalent, and the* and not till then, begin to think about giving a dona ion party. —Christian Observer.

Personal Experience.

Many naftwr down the power of the Gospel within -constitutional limits; they dh> not expect to And in it grace enough to counteract and wtercouoe the evils of natunai temperameutiand.life-longhabit. And yet men find constantly that receiving Christ will deliver (from the habit and even, the desire for using intoxicating driaks; and it was designed that the grace of God should prove just ns powerful in delivering from every other evil tendency and habit as from these. Indeed every one who has tasted that the Lord is gracious has found a measure of freedom from besetting sins, some victories over spiritual foes. Ia these partial triumphs, my reader, we are to see Christ’s willingness to give Complete victory even over those evils which he very deeply imbedded in our nature. He has made provision that the impatient may become patient; the selfish, benevolent; the timid, bold; the wavering, firm. There is no constitutional bias which the grace of God cannot counteract and overcome. Beaide, every Christian can testify that never did he tiopestly seek Divine help against any besetting sin, when that help was not given, and it is impossible it should be otherwise. Moreover, never did , he find such help in time of need, without having the conviction deeply forced upon his soul, that greater power still lay beyond, and

greater victory was waiting for the future; that Christ indeed came not simply that we might have life but that we “ might have it more abundantly,” “ Have yon on the lord believed? Still then's more to follow; Of Hie grace hare yon received? Still there's more to follow; Oh the grace the Father shows! Still there's more to follow: Freely HI His grace bestows! Still there's more to follow.” — Rev. Wm. M. llaigh, in Chicago Standard.

Perseverance.

Ob, that men understood that as soup as they begin to be Christians they enter the service of Jesus Christ! That man who, professing to be converted,, and to have surrendered himself to Christ, yet did not begin the new life work,-was mistaken, ana his energy will surely fail. Multitudes are there who stArt well, and never fulfill the prophecy of their first love, because they do not recognize the glorious truth- “Ye are not your own; ye are bought with a price; therefore, glorify Godin your body and in your spirits, which are His.” He that enters upon this service is diligent in perseverance that he may accomplish and gain his crowns. Have you ever noticed in the Gospel of Mark, which depicts the Lord Jesus as the seivant, how constantly the expression occurs, “ straightway He di4 ” this and that; “immediately” he went and spoke! His service was so continued in ita consecration as to permit of no reserved thoughts.— B. H. Tt/ng, Jr.

A Dreadful Burden.

There is a quiet, close-fisted okl bachelor in New York city named Peter Goelet, who is estimated to be worth f10.000,000. Being very fond of milk he keeps a cow in a fine pasture near his residence, in the heart of the city,.which, including interest on the vajue of the- pasture, costs him about $2,000, a year—the milk somewhere in the immediate vicinity of eight dollars a gallon. This, they Bay, is the old fellow’s only extravagance. And as for benevolence—why, it is believed by his neighbors that if he were to catch himself in the act of bestowing as much as fifteen cents upon Sny chart;abie object whatever, he would be'so utterly astounded at his wild, reckless, ruinous prodigality that, before he regained his senses sufficiently to know what he was about, he would have himself arrested, arraigned and indicted for a fraudulent attempt to squander his estate. It is understood that a nephew of his will inherit the bulk of his fortune, and, as may readily be conceived, the constant, the consuming anxiety of that you mg man, lest his venerable and passionately-adored relative should an some way sjaatter his wildly-worshiped constitution, or fatally' injure his fondly-cherished health, and wake up some morning and find his dear, precious, idolized sell at the top of that golden stair which all must sooner or later climb, may possibly be described, but can never be adequately imagined by' mortal pen. T 6 have constantly upon your mind a ten-million-doltar uncle, of whom you are the sole heir, is no light matter, you may depend.— Louisville Courier-Journal. —An exchange remarks. “ The only jokes women like to read are those which reflect ridicule on men.” Yes.
