How long a time is required to make
a ?<khI liay crop of Hungarian grass_?
Farmers generally make a mistake it
seeding too soon; it needs but seventy
days of good weather to make a satisfae
tory crop of hay.
How about top divssiug grass lamb
tliis mouth?
A better time mar not l^e chosen. Ust
all the barnyard nnmre that c:ui be
spared. Put a goodly . upplv of aslief
on mowing and pasture lands ; try bone
dust on clover lields, and later apply
plaster. When bare, thin spots shov.
themselves, after applying ashes ami
cither dressing, harrow and reseed them.
What is the disease denominated
"yaws'?"
Geo. P. Purnham says it is nothing
more nor less than a violent attack ol
"roup," to which has been given thifc
novel name. Nurse the fowls affected
the same as for " roup " and they can?t>e
saved.
What food should be given to lainbfc
liiivp to lu> l>v lmrwl f
Fresh cow's milk, sweetened a little
with the best refined sugar, a teaspoonful
to a pint of milk. The milk must be
warmed to the proper temperature before
feeding.
What is phosphoric acid ?
Phosphoric acid is a compound ot
phosphorus and oxygen. It is not found
in a free state in nature. It unites with
other substances?lime, soda, etc.?and
forms compouuds known as phosphates,
which are found in all fertile soils, and
which seem to be necessary for the
growth of plant*.
How much does a bushel of lucern
seed weigh ?"
Sixty pounds.
Does it make any difference whether
an orchard is planted on high or low
ground ?
Dry upland is much the best, though
the more hardy fruit trees do well on low
land.
Give a recipe for making grafting wax.
Three parts of rosin, three of beeswax
and two of tallow make a good wax.
What soil is required for growing
celery ?
Any good loamy rich soil will grow
celery.
Why is snow called the poor man's
fertilizer?
Jiecuuae 01 tlie ammonia it brings
down and holds in the ground.

I never hail much faith in pruning the
roots of trees to make them bear fruit.
It appears to me that the more extensive
the roots, the more fruit the trees ought
to bear; but I may be mistaken. An
English fniit grower says in an Euglish
paper that having some very free growing
plum trees which bore no fruit, he
dug a trench two feet six inches from
their trunks, half around the trees in a
semi-circle, cuttingoff all the roots as far
as he dug. and with a sharp knife
smoothed the ends of the roots cut off.
The result was that the lirst season the
trees did not make so much wood as previously,
but many spurs formed all over
the trees which were covered with buds ;
and the second season they bore n large
crop of fruit. He closes his article as
follows: "The inference gained is to root
prune all gross growing unfruitful trees.
We proved the good of it years ago in
the treatment of apples, pears, and even
tigs, besides plums, and there is no better
time of the year for performing the
same than the month of October. The
great art of fruit growing ir> to so manage
our trees that they shall possess suflicient
vigor to produce fruit of good quality,
but uni to overgrow that limit, bv making
good growth at the expense of a
crop of fruit." If is quite probable that
root pruning i:i certain cases may cause
barren trees to produce good crops but
we need more light on the subject than
wc now possess. In the iibove case the
roots were cut oil' but lialf wav around
the trees ; but it is evident that iie would
have badiy injured them if the entire
routs had been severed tv> o feet and a
half from their trunks. A better way
than to cut half around would be to dig
further from the trunks of the trees,
according to their age and growth, and
to cut off the roots entirely around them,
from four to six feet from their trunks.?

Jealousy and Sulphuric Add.
Alfred Picard, a Frenchman, who, in
New York, attempted to destroy his
wife's face with sulphuric acid, was a
steerage passenger on tin1 steamer Bus
ianu. a-', n ut ueeu a' sent m t rance
about four year*, during which time his
wife had earned her own living. Ou his
arrival lie immediately nought out his
wife ami began t > abuse anil ill-treat her.
He took h?r savings anil spent them iu
drinking ami gambling. He accused her
of unfaithfulness, and used this as a protexl
for his inhuman treatment. Her
friends advised her to leuve him, but
with wifely dey>U >n she refused.
One evening, worn out with fatigue,
she fell asleep on the sofa during her
husband's absence. When she invoke,
sheiouul her hands tied and her husbaml
bending over her with a huge
knife in his han !. lie threatened tti
kill her if she attempted to m?ve or crv

the stove and s:tid : " I intend to mark
you wi you will not get any more lovers.'
The poor victim tried to struggle tc

her face with a pillow t<? smothei

THE CHICO ASSASSINATIONS.
Six Chinamen Sh?i by White 3Ien?Three
of Thein Killeil Outright?Attempt to
' Burn tlie C'ubin Orer the Victims' Hcudw.
Tlie Sacmmento Union-Record has a
| i letter dated from Chieo, Cal., which
gives the following account of the murderous
assault upon Chinamen near that
place:
> Your correspondent visited the scene
of tlie terrible butchery which was re:
ported to have taken place at the Lemm
? ^ ,.?.i ^ iw,ie
' , Ilium, UUUUl ?l 11111U UUU 11 1UU1 liUill
1 town. The location of the scene of this
! most brutal anil terrible butchery is
r 1 about a mile up the Humboldt road, on
the left side, and about three hundred
^ yards from the residenco of John II.
Williams. It is reached by a panel gate
I in the fence, next the road, and is only
distant from said road about two hun:
dred aud fifty yards across a field of
: wheat belonging to I\Ir. Lenun. Six
i Chinese were employed in grubbing and
i clearing a piece of land adjoining this
s field by contract, and were congratulating
themselves that two or three days
i more would finish their contract, and
they would get their pay. Mr. Leinm
. intorms rue mat tiiev were aingent, goou
. working Chinamen, and lmil made a good
. job of the work they had 011 liaud. There
) had been no quarreling among them, the
utmost harmony prevailing, and no one
entertaiued any idea that enemies were
. after them. They had built a small
cabin for temporary use, of plunk, and
in that they lived. The Chinamen were
I j all in the cabin iu the evening, some
lying down, while the others were sitting
around. A lighted candle was upon
a small table, and it is thought that this
aided the bloody murderers in their hellish
work.
On my arrival on the ground I went
up to the cabin, and the ghastly sight
which presented itself was most appalling.
On the ground at the entrance there lay
a stalwart Chinaman on his face, with a
bullet wound in his head, and blood
and brains formed a pool around him.
The second lay about a foot from him,
nearly in the same condition, while a
third lay partially over the second, also
w?unded in the head. The fourth was
lying iu an opposite direction to the
other three, with his face partially upon
the matting or bed, with a terrible wound
in his face, which showed that his murderers
had been close to him. He was
alive, but unconscious, at the time I saw
him. He died during the time the inquest
was being held. The fifth Chinaman
was wounded in the breast, but
managed to escape to the other side of
the slough, where he was found in a
dying condition. He was brought to
town, but there is little chance of his
recovery. The sixth Chinaman \>ns
wounded in the arm by a small man or
boy. It is only a flesh wound, and he
says that as aim was taken at him he
threw up his left arm and foil back,
lying perfectly still. Thinking they had
completed their work of slaughter, kerosene
was poured over the place and the
match applied ; 110 doubt with the hope
to obliterate their deadly and brutal
record. After setting the fire they
hastily made their escape, but the
wounded man, who had been perfectly
still, rose after their departure and
crept out of the fiamesl He made his
way to town, but nothing was done till
next morning.
It appears that the assassins were six
in number, and, as the Chinaman describes
them, there were five " Melieau
men " and one boy or little man. They
came right up to the cabin door, and,
without any warning, blazed away, each
one of them picking out his victim, which
could Vie easily done, as the candle 011 the
"""Ul jA.ou.uiio. xwv.iv .o
no clew to the perpetrators of this terrible
outrage, and the verdict of .the 1
coroner's jury is in the common phraseology?that
the Chinamen came to their
deaths by pistol shot wouuds, inflicted
by six white men to the jury unknown?
and nothing more.
No active steps have been taken to
ferret out the crimes which have been
committed in and around Chico during
the past three weeks, and murder and
bloodshed, incendiarism and rapine are
allowed to run rampant. Is it because
they are Chinamen that the law is so lax
to ferret out the perpetrators of these
crimes ? Jf our county olhcials are not
able to accomplish anything to put a
stop to these nightly lawless proceedings,
let an appeal be made to the governor,
jtwI Sstnfp nntImvifiitwilrofl i/? in
vestigate tlie present state of affaira.
The principles of the Order of Caucasians
are opposed to Chinese labor in all
and every form, as well ns the further
immigration of that people, and since
that organization started in Chieo all
these depredations have taken place. I
have talked to several of tjieir prominent .
members, and they deny that their organizations
allow such lawlessness, and
they are willing to assist in ferreting out
. the perpetrators.
I do not say that the scoundrels who
are committing these deeds are members
of the Caucasian Order, but I do say that
the principles of the order, being a determined
opposition to the Chinese ns a
race, are a cloak and a sanction, to a certain
extent, to this lawlessness. Such
being the case, this order is bound by all
the ties of humanity nud civilization to
take cognizance of these crimes, and use
nil means to briug to conviction the perpetrators.
Citizens are becoming alarmed,
and there is no knowing where this
thing will end if speedy relief is not obtained.
The haying a<.d harvest will
soon be upon us. and every branch where
anything in the shape of a Chinaman is
employed is in danger of the incendiary's
" torch.
The murdered Chinamen belonged to
the Nin Yung Company. Citizens* are
going to raise a puree of ?1,000 as a reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
assassin*, and a call will be made upon
the governor to oiler a like reward. A
general feeling of sympathy is growing
iu favor <>f the Chinese.

The valley of the east branch of the Willimantie
river, in the northeastern part of Connecticut,
has ju?:t been devastated bv a tlood
similar to that which caused such great destruction
to Massachusetts towns not long ego.
Situated at intervals along the valley were
immense spinning mills, deriving their motive
power from tho little dream which
th?-y bordered, aui employing large numbers
of hands. During tiie droughts of the
past summer, the water was too low in
!!ju stream to afiord smlicienl power, and
this winter tiie main dam i<- the leservoir
at Staft'ordville whs heightened six feet to hold
more water lor emergencies. The people of the
valley below predicted the breaking away of the
dam. owing to the addition being made with
frozen earth, end watch hus been kept upon
the structure. Two days, heavy rains fil!oa all
tho streams to overflowing, and the men at the
dam.after careful examination,discovered water
trickling through the earthwork around a pipe
leading from the structure. Laborers were instantly
put to work repairing the small fracture,
but the water defied their best endeavors, and
after fighting all dav and night the men were
warned by a crumbling fiottnd to vcctte tbeir
position, aim uiu ?<o jusi ju um" 10 see a

been pent up. Th>> immense mass of water first
swept off a side building belonging to the Converse
mills, crumbled the magnificent dwelling
of Oti-. Holbr.-ok, and then carried off two
wooden bridges in rapid sureexsion. The Amidon

were swept off their foundations and crushed w

again from tho village the waters went, j
carrying away bridges, trees and small build- ;
ings, until it reached tho Willimantic, whose I P"
broad bed received and swallowed tho great j 0,1
rush of water. When the dam first broke, Mr. j
E. C. Pinuev mounted his horse and fled through j
the valley in advance of the flood, warning the I toi
residents, so tliat, as far as reported, but one Bui

Imagination a Cure. j ^
The Sacramento Jlccord says : A Sac- ;
ramentan who hail heard and read a groat *
deal about the blue glass cure, concluded ' ni
that liu would try it for his rheumatism. Rj.
He accordingly procured half u dozen ' b?
panep, inserted them iu the window of j
his bathroom, niul took a "sun bath," co
according to the prescribed formula, for | Ha
three successive days. His wife had I p'
been away from home, ami when she | I'o
returned she wat, delighted to hear that i **
the new cure had tlpuc her husband a |
wondrous amount of good. He was .
eager to have her see the new window, j l>e
and she felt considerable curiosity on I w<
the subject herself, but on entering the !
bathroom she burst into a lit uf ! x>u
laughter, which was explained a moment i
later by Iter ejaculation : " That's your
-.aazarine blue glass! Why, goosey, | cb
that isn't blue ; that's green!" He !
doesn't feel so well now. ; Kg
Prof. Tyndall's Warning. ! fi<
In concluding an Rddress to tlie students of : ,\V!
University collect' (London), Prof. Tyndall,wlio | 0a
in unquestionably one of the moat indefatigable | pky
brain workers of our century, said : " Tako : ua
carc of your health. Imagine Hercules as oars- j Ba
man in a rotten boat: what can lie do there but j
bv the very force of his stroke expedite the- ! Bo
ruin of his "craft. Take care of the timbers of ! sii
your boat."' Tin- distinguished scientist's advice i *J,C
"in equally valuable to all workers. We are apt | ?'j
to devote all our energies to wielding the oars, , Rr
our strokes fall tirm and fast, but few of uh ex- ! c'j
amine or even think of the coudition of our |
boats* until the broken or rotten timbers mul- | Oa
denly give way and we find ourselves tho viotims
of a calamity which could have been easily |
avoided by a little forethought. What began | B?*
with a slight fracture, or perhaps even a care- :
less exposure to disorganizing influences, ends i
in the complete wreck of tlie lifeboat. The dis- j ~
eahi! which began with a slight hendache or an I Jundue
exposure to cold, terminates in death ! 'rt
unless its progress is checked and tho disease ' u
remedied. Tlie lirst symptoms, the heralds of ! fl
disease, give no indication of the strength of J "
tho on-coming foe, and the victim trusts that ;
his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the inva- ; (
der. But Disease is an old general and accom- j .
plishes his most important movements in the j I
night tunc, and some brigtit morning imas lurn ?
in poKBCHsion of one of the strongest fortifica- : n|
tions ; and when he has once gained a strong- | rl
hold in tlio system, Nature ignoniiniously tnrnH ;
traitor and secretly delivers up the whole physi- ! <}(
cal onuory to the invader. Like the wily politician,
Nature is always on the strongest side, :
and the only way to insure her support is to .
keep your < ital powers in the ascendant. Keep Is'
your strongest forts?the stomach and liver?
well guarded. Do not let the foe eater the ,ir- i thi
terial highways, for he will steal or destrov your yj
richest merchandise and impoverish your king- "j

n marked contrast with the unpleasant developments I
thave appeared recently, concerning cortain compart,
we are glad to note the rosults of an official exami- j
ion of this Company. Although having a charter j ^
net from ConJrejK, it does not attempt to disavow its !
pomibility to State insuranca laws.
ly mutual agreement, on behalf of the .State departnts
of Now York, Massachusetts, Penr.iylvania and ?
:higan, the Hon. Samuel A. Rowc, of tl" > latter State, i
amenced on January 8th a rigid examination of the ti
iks, assets and liabilities of this Company. Commie- J;
aer Rowc was assisted by Prof. Watson, til# well- j
>wn actuary, and V. H. Lott, Ksq.
'he detailed examination continued without interrup- j
1 until the 10th of February. The results are highly j
tifying to tho friends of the Company and the public .
lorally. On the 14th instant the Company received f
m Commissioner Rowe a renewal of its authotfty to do
liness in Michigan, together with his written assur- i
e that he foniM the 1,'ompany able to comply fully
h the stringent laws of his State. The entire reservo

leeded its disbursements by over $"{00,000. although it
d in death claims nearly a quarter of a million dollars,
re perfect security could not be offered to insurers,
is almost unnecessary to say that this Company has
hing to do with tho National Capital Life Insurance
