Wheat, in all its bearings," was the next adopted subject. It was considered by aome that clay and loomy soil was preferable to this sandy prairie, whilo others contended that by keeping up this soil to its original strength, as good crops ilin be grown here as on cTay, or any othsoil. Tho proper time for sowing wheat was recommended from the 15th to 20th of September. The best wheat lo sow for this country is the bearded, or Mediterranean. being the least subject to the fly or weevil.

The adopted subject for our next meeting, and which has already occupied three meetings, is one of great interest. "Is cooperative industry beneficial to com munities^ and is it practical for this eommunity." We shall shortly be able to lay before your readers an adopted. plan in which we think co-operation both practical and beneficial to this and other communities.

The next subject was: "The best meth od of beeping up the fertility of the soil." On this question much interest was manifested, and the modve operandi were all 'erent, hardly two members expressing themselves alike on the subject. Stable or barnyard manure was regarded by nearly all as first best. The most pracii ip(il way to keep up the fertility of a furm was to use blue-grass, clover and timothy, a succession of crops. Some preferred blue grass to clover, while others preferred timothy to them both, but all would rather uss stable manure if it could be ob tained. It was strongly urged that farmers should manufacture their own manure Stable manure Bhould be mixed with soil or muck, and be worked over several times in A seasoi, before it is applied to small fruits, or to anything else on this prairie.. Deep plowing was also consider ed very Essential in keeping up the fertil-

MUSICAL MERCUANDISE.—We invite attention to the newadvertisemeut of Mr. L. KissneT. He is ngent li»r, and ha: constantly in store samples of tho leading makes of pianos, organs and melodeons, any of which he will warrant for a term of five years.. In addition he has a full stock of e'maller musical instruments, drum#, brass and silver band instruments, and a lino of choice fancy goods. In fact, his stock of goodi is excelled by few houses in the West.

Owing to the general prostration in business, Mr. Kissner finds it very difficult to overcome the effects of the disastrous fire, which in one night swept away his entire stock but his known energy and industry, will overcome this loss, if our people will only lend a helping hand .in purchasing his goods, which he sells at the lowest possible rate9. He is a skillful musician and a practical workman, hence those buying of him may rely on finding the instruments as represented. Pianos sold by him have been in use ten years, and still give entire satisfaction. When in want of anything in the music line, visit the "Palace of Music.''

DULL TIMES.—Now that business prospects look cloudy when trade is depressed and how to keep afloat is a serious question with business men, wo would venture few remarks which we deem pertinent to the occasion. Economy and prudence should ccrtainly be strictly adhered to, but we should not be "penny wise and pound foolishOne thing is sure, people buy in the most depressed seasons. The right way to do is to find these people out let them know what goods you ht»vegot induce them to buy goods of you instead of getting them elsewhere.

The more reluctant people are to buy, the more active it behooves merchants to he to soil To sit still behind your counter?, waiting idly for a brisk revival in trade, is neithor sensible or advantageous. A dull soa9on is th© very best time to advertise in, because tile necessity fdr advertising is greater, and people, at such periods, have more leisure to peruse the papers that at apy other time, henco j'our advertisement will be more rekdify aftd generally seen. A small amount of moonvested in advertising will return interest an hundred fold, for the power of printer's ink"isuniversal and those who rely upon it implicitly are safest, even in the stormiest seasons.'

nails at the rate of from eight hundred to one thousand kegs a week. The huge spike machine alone will cut fifty kegs per day. The interesting process of making nails can be described briefly as follows: 1. Pig iron is rolled into long bars. 2. These bars are cut into lengths of one foot. 3. Those lengths are piled into heaps of nine. 4. These heaps of nine are heated and rolled into sheets as thick as the nail is to be. 5. These sheets are cut into strips a little wider than the nail is to be long. 6. These strips are cut into nails by the nailing machine, which also heads the nails as they fall. A man holds a strip of iron in the machine's jaws, which constantly bites off a nail. But a nail tapers off from the head to the point, and consequently the strip has to be turned over before the machine can be allowed to bite again. But for this necessity of turning, the men to feed each machine could be dispensed with. What a clatter they do make! No whispering in that establishment. But notwithstanding the noise, everything moves smoothly and with precision. The pig iron used is from the blast furnace at Harmony, Clay County, and is of very superior quality. Mr. Turner, the manager of the establishment, tells us the nails made from this iron are superior to any he has seen in Ohio. -----
