' * IT is generally a> lear with sowers that their seeds will not grow, and many more are sown than necessary. This is all yery Well, only it requires so much after-cultivation in thinning out, jwhich very few properly do, or it they ydo it is not done in time to be of much benefit tot he growing crop. Anyone who seep a field of turnips in the autumn ' will understand what we m^an. IF the harro# were drawn through when young over one-half the turnip-fields the final yield would be one-third more. Beets, carrots, salsify, parsnips and similar garden crops should be looked to at once, and reduced so that the plants stand two or three inches apart. This will be found profitable if done at once. If it is found that the crop is smaller than was anticipated, almost any of I these will do transplanted. We nave seen crops of parsnips and beets so jet out that made better roots tli^o. thjose from seed in the regular way.-- Germantown Telcgtaph. IF our farmers pursue a system whic^ continually reduces the fertility of She soil, the time 'must come im the future when, the decreased yield will not support the increased population, and distress and famine will be th* re­ sult. That the productiveness at a large per cent, of our soil lias been re­ duced, HO one can deny. Perhaps ag­ ricultural statistics may not show this, but in every township the intelligent farmer can point to thousands of aeres once fertile that will now scarcely pay for cultivation. One reason why our statistical tables are not a reliable in­ dex, is that, so far in our history^ In the West, we have had virgin soil to fall back upon, and as the old fields be­ came unprofitable, we needed only to remove the forest and avail ourselves of the fertility stored iip for centuries. In many parts of the country the limit is already reached in this direction, and it soon surely will be in all. In view of the fact that some fields are hopelessly ruined and the fertility of others great­ ly reduced, the question may be anxiously asked, Whp,t is the future to bring* loWh? Is the earth to become barren and the human family finally to die of starvation?

PLAIN I. in wnicn ne speaks of the fact that just as ^fre* whale fisheries became .unprofit­ able, and it seemed certain tiiat we could not look much longer to this source which had furnished oil to light the world, another and unexpected source of supply was found. He says: •'When the whales ceased spouting, the earth tookoxp the business, and ' Here she blows!' and 'There she blows!1 was heard amoiig the hills.of Penn3ylvair niag" He Mrther says:, " I cannot but look upon this discovery of oil in the earth as one of the most remarkable aid instructive revelations of the age. It has shown that when human neces­ sity demands fmything of the world of matter, thfi demand will be honored.'1 I believe that the cause of barreiuiess on a payt of our soils and loss of fertil- ity oij more of it, has been for the want of intelligence in the tiller of the soil. When we understand fully the charac­ ter of the soil and realize the import­ ance of preserving its fertility, and make, the preservation of it as nuich an object to be attained as the produc­ ing of profitable crops, I have no douo that we can check the loss in this direc­ tion, and that our lands can be culti­ vated for generations, not only with­ out l&ss, but actually made better. The causes of deterioration of oar soil % * Management of Pigs in. m i ' . f " SummCft r THE maiS "Of farmers require ^oto# very strong preaching upon this sub­ ject. They seem to think the favorable sumrher sfeason iu|t the thne to keep pigs cheaply, without any expenditure for food except the slops from the kitchen and a poor pasture. Their idea seems to be to increase the age without any regard to increasing the weight. They seem <pily desirous of pig frames to build on in the fall. This custom, almost universal until lately, of doing ali the fattening in fall and winter, can only be accounted for by the fact that Corn and the grain crops are ripened and ready for use in the fail, hence fall feeding was adopted for convenience or supposed necessity, without consider­ ing the strong objections to the system. The cost of keeping up animal heat depends upon the temperature. Dur­ ing the six months from May to Octo­ ber, both inclusive, • the average tem­ perature ranges from 58 to 76 degs., and for the other six months from 29 to 58 degs., leaving a difference of tem­ perature between the two seasons of about 30 degs. and the animal heat re­ mains throughout the year the same, or 100 degs. The animal must thus eat extra food sufficient, in the cold season, to overcome this large difference in temperature before any gain Call be produced. Mow, it will DO seen that the difference between the average tem­ perature of the air and blood-heat is twice as great in the cold as in the warm half of the year, and it will therefore require twice the food of res­ piration or heat production in the cold as in the warm season. s Experiments have shown that in very cold weather hogs would gain notning upon the best feeding, if exposed to the open air. And this extra food required to keep tip the animal heat Is all thrown away as compared with feeding in the warm season. It is quite below the fact to say that it takes 25 per cent, more food, as a general rule, to produce 100 pounds gain in winter than in sum­ mer, unless the winter feeding is done in warm, well ventilated pens. It is most important that farmers should make the most of all their resources, and now, more especially, when farm pro­ ducts are so low. A farmer of the Bet­ ter class, who can make ten pounds of pork from a bushel of corn when the temperature averages 60 to 70 degs.,, will find it more difficult to make 7| pounds when the jtemperature is at ^ * * ffllll lgl atltfn tf ^ fon average of 40 degs. From these facts it must be evident thbt the prin­ cipal feeding should be done in the warm season. I would Hot advise feed­ ing wholly .upon grain, for the hog is a grass-eating animal, and it is doing vio­ lence to its nature to keep it wholly tip- on concentrated food. Many of the ills that swine " flesh is heir to" I think are caused by neglecting to feed suf­ ficient fibrous food. Pigs should either have a good pasture or be fed clover and other green food in the pen. - When a pasture fs not convenient, pigs may be soiled very profitably. An excellent way of feeding th#ii in ^unf- |^nd then fashion cuffs of mer is to run green clover through a """ straw-cutter and mix an equal bulk of clover and corn-meal together and allow it to lie for twelve to twenty-four hours; The meal will absorb the moisture of the clover, swell and become softened, while both'will so adhere as to be eaten together. From considerable experi­ ence in feeding after this method. I find the pigs ijniformly healthy . and more thrifty than when fed on grain alone. Good Qlover will do with half this quan­ tity of meal, and sometimes produce equally good results. I have found even 40 per cent, difference in favOr' of the clover 46d! meal over the meal alone; and this, when dividing a litter of pigs aid" feeding one-halJt on corn-. meal soaked in water, and the other half on clover and meal, giving each lot all they would eat. The pigs fed on corn ine^i alone were often feverish, andjniheing In appetite, while those oa clever and meal were always, lively^ ready for a feed. If pigs are on pasture then they should get also a5 coitStarifshiaai ration of grain. Grain will here produce much' greater result than wnen fed alone. Pigs should be pushed through the summer with the mest liberal feed­ ing so that the}* may make a constant and rapul growth "jana reach a*marketa­ ble weight of 250 pounds, or upward, before Deoember. A little gram used with pasture will always pay a liberal profit. There can never be a stand-still in growth without serious loss. FuH feeding is the only consistent systeirf1.--- dor.

HERE IS an end of all romance al hidden ocean depths. We can alp«cu- late no longer aooitt peris in chambers of pearl, or mermaids, or heaped treas­ ures and dead men's bones whitening in coral cave?. r The whole oclean iloor is now mapped out for us. The report of the exploring expedi­ tion sent out from London in Her Majesty's ship Challenger, has recent­ ly been published. Nearly four years were given to the examination of the currents and floors of the four great oceans of the world. The Atlantic, we are told, if drained, would be a vast plain, with a mountain ridge in Uw ivMdie- running parallel with our Mil ftiftthwr rutige- croe&s it from Newfoundland to Ireland., on the top of which lies a submarine cable. The ocean is thus divided into three grelat basins, 110 longer " unfathomed depths." "The top of these sea-moun- are <-two miles below a sailing ship, and the basins, according to Re- clus, fifteen miles, which is deep enough for drowning, if not for mystery. The mountains are whitened for thousands of miles by a tiny, creamy shell. The depths are red in color, heaped with voleanic masses. Through the black, motionless water of these abysses move gigantic abnormal creatures,- which, never rise to the upper current®. < There i9 an old legend Coming <loWn to 11s from the first ages of the world on which these scientific deep-sea sur­ roundings throw a curious light. Plato and Solon recorded the tradition, an­ cient in their days, of a country in the western seas where thnmshod the first civilization of tnankind, which bf vol­ canic action was submerged and lost. The samestory is told by the Central Aniencaris, who stiii celebrate m the fast of Izcalli the frightful calachism which destroyed thisland with its state­ ly cities. t)e Bonvhourcr and other archreolagists assert that this lost land extended*from Mexico beyond the West Indies. The shape of the plateau discovered by the Challenger corresponds with this the­ ory, What if some keen Y ankee should yet dredge oat from its unfathomed slime thel ost Atlantis?--Youth's Com­ panion. r ) I Main Dresses* WASH dresses for the present season tjire made in such simple and jaunty styles, that they are suitable alike for in-door and street dresses. They are almost invariably short in the skirt, and, unless of very expensive materials, they have none of the shirring and flut­ ing that make them too elaborate for ordinary laundresses. The substantial torchon laces and the thick machine embroidery in colors, are the trimmings for very handsome dresses that require to be "frequently washed* while still plainer dresses have plaitings of the material, bias piped bands or narrow Hamburg edgings. There is a fancy this season for sev­ eral pretty fabrics that had long since fallen into disuse. Among these are French Jayfns of solid color at thirty- five or forty c^nts a yard. These are most popular in pale sky blue, in deli­ cate flesn pink, in mastic gray and in dark violet blue. The favorite style for making is that of a plaited basque with yoke and close sleeves that are quite short, reaching only just below the elbows; the overskirt is either sheath shape or else the washer-woman, with the edges turned up plainly all around, an«f the top edge of the turned- up part finished with a standing plaited frill that mayi n its turn be fmislied with narrow Valenciennes lace. The plaited yoke basque should be made over a smoothly fitted high-necked lin­ ing of the dress material cut in basque shape; the sleeves are not lined. The skirt is short usually, but may be demi- trained, and is always trimmed with one or two kilt-plaitings of the lawn. Such dresses are found at all the furnishing houses, but are so easily made up at home that they have become the favor­ ite model of the season. Ladies who are expert in making the braid laces and insertions, which have become so fashionable, sew rows of this insertion together in yoke-shaped pieces to cover the entire yoke of these pretty dresses, lace to match, ^o complete such toilettes are broad belts of black velvet, with wristlets of velvet, and bows on the overskirt. There are also parasols of lawn, lace and velvet. A large cluster of natural roses and violets is worn at the waist, and the gloves are long lace mittens. Simple white dresses of old-fashioned cross-bar muslin are made in the way just described, and edged with Smyrna lace. Some of these have a single skirt laid in wide kilt plaits and worn with a Highland sash of plaid ribbon tied around below the hips. A plaid of gray, scarlet and black is considered very stylish. White dresses for after­ noons at home and for "young girl graduates" are made of finely-dotted Swiss muslin, trimmed with plaitings of the same, simply hemmed, not e<5ged..with lace. These have a basque and elbow sleeves, while the simply shaped and bouffant over-skirt has long-looped bpws of pale bliie ribbon holding it up on the Sides. A bunch of dark-red Jacqueminot roses is worn at the waist. Linen lawn dresses, either all white or else with Japanese zigzag figures or bars, are made in the same way, and trimMed with Smyrna edging and small pearl buttons 111 bul­ let shape, yet with eyes through the middle. The American percales come in neat colored figures, checks and stripes on a white ground, but are more effective with gray or blue grounds dashed with white. These are made up in suits hav­ ing vests and cutaway coats, or else D , , j 1 • 1 -plain uaSqu6a, aiiu. ittc uuruereu. Wltjl bias blue percale *of solid color, and sometimes edged with white cotton lace in large bold figures. The domestic seersuckers at a shilling a yard are also most effective in stripes of gray-blue alternating with pink, or with white or buff. These are trimmed with pipings of color, pink, dark red, or buff, and edged with torchon lace. When polonaises are made with wash-dresses, they are now quite short, and are turned up in front in washer­ woman style. This suggests a good Ian for modernizing the long wri mmgm pia fro: nts of polonaises of last season. The wrinkles in the side seams are let out, the extra length of a fourth of a yard is cut off, and, after being sliapect to fit the edge from which it has just been out, it is trimmed at the top with plait­ ing, a ruffle, or lace, and is iewed o^t again as an outside facing. « A The fancy for vests also enables econ* omists to remodel basques that have become soiled in front or are too tight across the bust. A separate vest of silk or pique or damask, striped or"tT checked mohair, gray corduroy, or any 1 "* appropriate* material, is made, and the front of the partly worn basque is turned back on revers to disclose the vest. The part turned back as a revers be­ gins at the throat, and slopes gradually wider to the end. As it is defaced by buttons and holes, the revers is covered with the,material of the vest to conceal these. For pl$£n woolen dresses buntings and de oejgfe ififeittost used. The Amer­ ican buntings are said to wear well, but they arft not nearly so soft and pleasant to the touch as the French buntings. De bege in ecru and gray shades makes pretty short suits, and is most effective when entirely self-colored instead of being with black or brown silks. There are also low-priced tamise cloths in stylish shades of beige and blue, thai are being made up with pretty trim mings of white cotton guipure 'falling upon plaitings Of the material.--Har- pcrs Bazar. , FOB THE WEil.

These who doubt what we say have only to visit the mountain mentioned to be con­ vinced. All the top and east side is covered with lava. In places the lava is from ten to twenty feet in depth. It is light brown in color and is honey­ combed with holes resembling the opea- ings in a sponge. The place where, the crater once was is clogged up with this lava. The only depression on the mountain is a large sink on the west side, where a part of the crust appears to have fallen in. Before water was brought from the Sierras for the use of this city the old water company ran a tunnel under this large basin of depres­ sion, thinking to tap a good deposit of water. The mountain being of great height, snow lies till late in the season on its northern slopes, and the water from the melting drifts finds its way into the sink. It was to secure the wa­ ter thus collected that the tunnel was run. For some reason all the geologists, our State Geologist and all others, nave failed to make mention of this, our ex tinct volcano. Nor have they ever said a word about the lava. They probably thought it the croppings of a sponge mine or something else equally valu­ able.--Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise. DoMon Clave lltti trp.
