1 AN HISTORIC DOLL. The First ot a Multitude of Dull Im migrant. In Independence Hall t Philadel phia there is preserved among notable revolutionary relics a quaint little doll dressed in the fashion of Louis XVI. Long before there was a United States this pretty Parisienne found her way over the sea, carrying with her into William Penu's woodland a little of the folly and fashion of tha Old World, for ehe was not only a plaything but the fashion-plate of her time. Can you picture to yourself the countless multitude of dolls that has follow ed in her way? In the last six months, for instance, Paris sent over to New York toys worth $219, 819 and over half of that sum was represented by dolls. In recent j years France has lost a little of her j supremacy in the toy-market She can no longer compete w th (Jer-1 many in homely toy the trifles : that aie sold for a song; but in 1 playthings of a liner sort she still! holds her un. Not without effort, j however. The local authorities of' Paris offer tempting rewards for the j invention of new tojs.

When they lift thenioelve up they will also lift up every other person doing a useful and legitimate ; business. However, people who have been enjoying a graft at the expense of producers and consumers will find their graft gone. In its place will be certainty of mov ement of com modities to maiket, certainty of profits and greater volume of busi ness. Every fair person will welcome such a change. Those who are not fair, or dou't want to be fair, will be compelled to deal fairly. Can you imagine anything of greater good, or more logical, than thut the middle people should serve their principles in equity, instead of thein bossing the great people whom they gem-? For instance; Who ever heard of an agent being greater than his peo ple; or the aiter in the hotel being of more iuiportauc than the pro prietor or his guest; or a messenger boy dictating to the gender, or re ceiver, of the message? It is just as absurd for farmers and consumers to let a few people set up in business between the'ii and bo6g them. Why those people couldn't turn a hand, or do a lick of business except by the tolerance of the other people. It is almost inconceivable why all the farmers' pretended friends and teachers, supposed to be shrewd peo ple, would al'ow such a condition to obtain, Farmers are going to turn the tables. They are going to teach the j few people who handle their stuff a lesson aud show them their place, i They are willing to have them per form tin ir rightful work of carry ing the goods to the consumers, as agents, but not as bosses.

There Is not a reputable stockman in the country whu does not understand the worth lessness of a stunted pig, calf, colt or lamb, and who is not aware of the necessity of keeping a young aniuinl in a rigorous, growing condi- tiou from its birth. If this is essential with animals it Is equally bo with cul tivated plants. It is the stunted or starved plant that is more often the prey of insects, though it cannot be said that this holds good in ail cases. However, a Held of young grain lu a healthy growlug conditlou will sustain without material injury an attnek that a less vigorous one would not. So far as plants are concerned, it matters little whether a soil is lacking In fer tility or whether this fertility is pres ent aud beyond reach. There is suffi cient nutriment in a healthy seed to enable it to throw a shoot upward to light and air and rootlets downward to draw from the soil. But suppose these rootlets go about among solid clods begglug, as it were, for food. Stunted plauts are no more profitable than stunted animals. " A Cumpnrliou, Take two tields of eijual fertility or soil. One is plowed a considerable time lid'ore ceding and is harrowed and worked over until a thoroughly, pulverised, compact seed bed is form ed. Seed placed iu this ground will be gin to draw from it as soon as the luoilels enter it, and the plant above ground will be full of vigor. If the liist shoot is destroyed by the Hessian liy the result is only to stimulate the throwing up of tillers, aud the soil will sustain them, (iraiu sown late in such a field will soon get sufficieut root growth to enable the tillers to with stand the winter. Now, take a second field indifferent ly plowed and the surface smoothed over by a single harrowing that has only rattled a littl,? loose soil down Into the spaces between the clods. A rootlet starts out to feed the plant, but goes begging. The single shoot thrown up is destroyed by the Ilessiau fly, aud the root is unable to find food enough among the clods to sustain tillers, so no tillers are thrown up, and the crop is seriously injured by what in the other case resulted rather beneficially than otherwise 1).
