most of our readers know that ammonia is a strong alkali although an invisible gaseous compound of nitrogen and hydrogen the only rational explanation of lhe large consumption of ammonia in lhe growth of cereals lhal we have seen is given by prof way chemist to the royal agricultural society of england — he has been experimenting for some lime on the absorptive powers of clay and soils and dis coveted thai ammonia combines chemically with silicic acid in conjunction wiih lhe silicate of allumnia forming a double salt placed in j a large quantity ol water he found that the sil ! ; icate ammonia was dissolved but not the sili cate of alumnia which is simply pure pipe or porcelain clay when a clear solution of sili cate of ammonia was evaporated in a bowl there resulted on the inside ol lhe vessel a thin layer of glass showing ihat the ammonia had departed with the vapor of water and left the silicic acid flint behind the straw of wheal and lhe slems of all cereal grasses are known to contain a large amount of flint and that lhe stems of clover aud peas do not ; neither do tur nips beets or carrots abound in silica prof way suggests that the sulphate and muriate of j ammonia applied seven years in successioii by mr lawes with such marked and uniform re sults and the well known extraordinary value of ammonia in the dung aud urine of animals may be accounted for by assuming that this al kali serves to convey soluble flint from the soil into the stems of plants that need it and is then | dissipated into the atmosphere that a great deal of water enters into the roots of growing plants passes through their cells and vessels abundantly from their entire surface but most abundantly from their exceedingly porous leaves is generally understood ; but what this water lakes from the earth and the precise condition of the food of plants so imbibed are subjects now undergoing as they well deserve the most rigid investigation peas clover and root crops furnish valuable food for domestic animals lhat need no flint in their systems and also valuable iood for wheat plants lhal do require much flint these are curious fads which no good farmer will question ammonia then in the wise and beautiful economy of nature contributes large ly at one time in an organized form lo make the flesh and bones of animals and at another to build up the flinty culms of the most useful bread bearing cereals the importance of a bright hard glass-covered straw in preventing rust on maturing wheat we have noticed and commented upon lor thirty years but not knowing anything of the recently discovered j silicate of ammonia our reliance has been on i potash and soda to dissolve flint and fit it for j entering the roots of wheat corn rye oats and j barley we do not now think any the less of potash soda lime or magnesia because lhe several functions of another alkali are belter understood not to dwell too long on ammo nia we may say that 1000 pounds of pea vines will yield as much of it to a wheat soil as 7000 pounds of wheat or rye straw iler.ce pea vines and clover are among the besl renovators known to modern agricullure to prevent the heaving out of wheat by frost j ditching or draining is the proper remedy — j many now pass a roller over their wheat fields j early in the spring jus as the frost leaves the ; ground this compresses the earth about the loosened roots and in effect resets the plants to avoid damage by insects afier wheat is harvested most men understand the value of sunning the grain and the advantage of storing it in the etiag we have never seen the wheat weevil so common in virginia and lhe states south of it at the north although it may pre j vail there the insects most troublesome io new york are flies ; the one called hessian fly cecidomyia destructor and the other the wheat fly or wheat midge ctcidomia trili ci the latter deposits its eggs or nits on the heads of wheat when in blossom and just as the seeds are forming the nits hatch in a lew days and the minute yellow grubs either find themselves in the pulp of the nascent seed or eat their way into it and there grow io full ma ! turity at the expense of its starch and gluten tbe larva of this fly is often miscalled a wee vi it has been uncommonly severe on the wheat crops in onondago cayuga seneca and wayne counties in new york this year and also in some parts ol ohio no other remedy j has proved successful but lo discontinue the cul i ture of wheat for a few years in the districts : where the fly abounds in this way it becomes nearly or quite exterminated the hessian fly deposits its eggs on lhe low er leaves of young wheat from which the worms or larva as they are hatched.crawl down between the sheath at lhe base of lhe leaf and the main stem to the first joint il there sucks the juice from the plant grows to maturity and changes into a pupa which much resembles in color°and form a flax seed two generations of this insect are produced in a year it caus j es wheat lo fall down by enfeebling it near lhe ground where ihe larvae do iheir injury among j preventives late seeding is the most popular j by which lhe fly is kept off in autumn but not ; in the spring rich strong land and vigorous plants suffer least from the depredations of the hessian fly as lo lhe quantity of seed that should be sown or drilled lo the acre it depends entirely on the quality of the soil and size of seed or berries ol wheat if ihe grains are large a bushel will contain only halt lhe germs that exist in | ihe same quantity of small seeds when ' thrashed with a machine many seeds are bro ken and worthless and iherefore more grain per acre should be used after duly considering all lhe facts of lhe case lhe wheat grower himself is the besl judge of the amount of seed lhal his land requires rust srnut and mildew are parasitic plants and often quite destructive par | licularl v the first named by keepingthe ground j free from weeds and grass by clean culture and properly drained the danger of rust is much ; diminished smut may be prevenled by wash ing seed wheat in a strong solution of bluestone or in a strong brine before sowing and drying ! it in slacked lime or caustic ashes be care ful not to permil the wheat 10 remain more lhan four or five hours in brine as the salt may kill the germs of the grain if it soaks into lhe seed ;

ciate in securing votes for the non-suspen i sion of the maine law let the following noble act be emula j ted by every daughter of temperance and by every wife and mother viz " in fosfer tbere was an intemperate man who had promised his wife that he j would vote for the maine law candidates for the senate and house on the morn ing of the election day he was enticed in to the tavern and treated by his anti-law ; associates till he was drunk his wife hi*ard of it searched him out and got him home here she gave him an emetic and got him sober and then borrowed a horse and wagon and drove him to the polls he voted for the maine law can didates and his single vote prevented the eleclion of a rum representative the result of it is that we got one and possi j bly two maine law men from that town l j economy in a family there is nothing which goes so far to wards placing young people beyond the reach of poverty as economy in the man agement of their domestic affairs it mat ters not whether a man furnish little or much for the family if there is a contin ual leakage in his kilchen or in the par lor it runs away he knows not how and that demon waste cries for more !" like the horse-leech's daughter until he that provideth has no more to give it is the husband's duty to bring into the house and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully out of it — not the least article however unimportant in itself for it establishes a precedent — nor under any pretence for it opens the door for ru in to stalk in and he seldom leaves an opportunity unimproved a man gets a wile to look after his affairs and to assist him in his journey through life — to edu cate and prepare his children for a pro per station in life and not to dissipate bis property the husband's interest should be his wife's care and her greatest ambi tion carry her no further than his welfare and happiness together with lhat of his children this should be her sole aim and the theatre of her exploits in the bosom of her family where she may do as much towards making a fortune as be can in the counting room or the workshop it is not the money earned that makes a man wealthy : it is what he saves from his earnings a good and prudent husband makes a deposit of the fruits of his labor with his best friend and if that friend be not true to him what has he to hope ? — ■if he dare not place confidence in the companion of bis bosom where is he to place it ? a wife acts not for herself only but she is the agent of many she loves and she is bound to act for their good and not for her own gratification her hus j band's good is the end to which she should aim his approbation is her reward self : gralifiction in dress or indulgence in ap petite or more company than his purse can well entertain are equally pernicious j the first adds vanity to extravagance the second fastens a doctor's bill to a long ! butcher's account and the latter brings intemperance the wosrt of evils in its : train most brutal outrage on wednesday evening last five or six miles west of staunton four slout irishmen employed on the railroad in that vicini ' ty by force took from the vehicle in which she was riding a young woman and vio \ lated her person in a most brutal manner j she was in company with a young man i to whom the young lady clung for protec ' tion but doth were overpowered the young man left her to obtain assis ! tance and on the alarm being given to the credit ofthe neighborhood be it spo j ken prompt and efficient aid was render ] ed and hot pursuit made to apprehend these unprincipled villains which was ! not effected until a late hour of the j night officer trotter to whom much praise is ;

— i since where an engagement actually exists j a correspondence almost invariably follows \ but young marriage ladies at least pru \ dent ones do not allow themselves to be engaged in a correspondence with un ■married men unless they suppose a mar riage contract exists between them and ;

that he might once more be hold the features and the face whence for more than twenty years tbe light of love had shone down into his heart — thank god sir that amid all the alien ations and strifes and hostilities which seem sometimes to flow out of the human bosom as though it were their natural fountain there are also affections sympa thies tenderness and loves which are in sepable from it ;

most of our readers know that ammonia is a strong alkali although an invisible gaseous compound of nitrogen and hydrogen the only rational explanation of lhe large consumption of ammonia in lhe growth of cereals lhal we have seen is given by prof way chemist to the royal agricultural society of england — he has been experimenting for some lime on the absorptive powers of clay and soils and dis coveted thai ammonia combines chemically with silicic acid in conjunction wiih lhe silicate of allumnia forming a double salt placed in j a large quantity ol water he found that the sil ! ; icate ammonia was dissolved but not the sili cate of alumnia which is simply pure pipe or porcelain clay when a clear solution of sili cate of ammonia was evaporated in a bowl there resulted on the inside ol lhe vessel a thin layer of glass showing ihat the ammonia had departed with the vapor of water and left the silicic acid flint behind the straw of wheal and lhe slems of all cereal grasses are known to contain a large amount of flint and that lhe stems of clover aud peas do not ; neither do tur nips beets or carrots abound in silica prof way suggests that the sulphate and muriate of j ammonia applied seven years in successioii by mr lawes with such marked and uniform re sults and the well known extraordinary value of ammonia in the dung aud urine of animals may be accounted for by assuming that this al kali serves to convey soluble flint from the soil into the stems of plants that need it and is then | dissipated into the atmosphere that a great deal of water enters into the roots of growing plants passes through their cells and vessels abundantly from their entire surface but most abundantly from their exceedingly porous leaves is generally understood ; but what this water lakes from the earth and the precise condition of the food of plants so imbibed are subjects now undergoing as they well deserve the most rigid investigation peas clover and root crops furnish valuable food for domestic animals lhat need no flint in their systems and also valuable iood for wheat plants lhal do require much flint these are curious fads which no good farmer will question ammonia then in the wise and beautiful economy of nature contributes large ly at one time in an organized form lo make the flesh and bones of animals and at another to build up the flinty culms of the most useful bread bearing cereals the importance of a bright hard glass-covered straw in preventing rust on maturing wheat we have noticed and commented upon lor thirty years but not knowing anything of the recently discovered j silicate of ammonia our reliance has been on i potash and soda to dissolve flint and fit it for j entering the roots of wheat corn rye oats and j barley we do not now think any the less of potash soda lime or magnesia because lhe several functions of another alkali are belter understood not to dwell too long on ammo nia we may say that 1000 pounds of pea vines will yield as much of it to a wheat soil as 7000 pounds of wheat or rye straw iler.ce pea vines and clover are among the besl renovators known to modern agricullure to prevent the heaving out of wheat by frost j ditching or draining is the proper remedy — j many now pass a roller over their wheat fields j early in the spring jus as the frost leaves the ;
