[ HSB, A correspondent in the London Gar- t |HflVa?/?, from Wales, remarks as follows: I e ^^&know of no better way of securing a q S^Khcavy crop of peaches and nectarines I c H^Ethan by putting a colony of bees in the I B^^Khnncn wlson th;; trees are in bloom. This ' Iias been my practice for several years ! >ast in the case of a house in which the j t rees comc into flower in March, and | } he result is always satisfactory. When t he bees a:e iu the house we never brush ; ' he flowers or shake the trees in the hope i \ f fertilizing tlie flowers; this work is I \ eft entirely to the bees, and they do it I { ilectually. I have thinned D00 small j lectarincs from a tree which covered a j j liece.of trellis four yards square, and a eversl hundred more will have to be ! r aken off rcfore the crop is a safe aud i r rdinary one. This, I think, is proof i 1 nough as to the advantage of employing j 9 ?es, and those who think such work I ^ pes die bees harm make a great mistake, I j I they thus get a supply of food before j lis plentiful out of-doors; and I have , 'Med that I have for two years secured iy first swarm aud earliest-filled sections j Lorn the peach house bees.

Any . tl one .who is familiar at a'lrwith poultiy is ^wws that during the falltal! hens ul- j li Brgo the process of moling, or shed- ! hi Kg of the fea hers. rAis requires si wally about three months,for one nun-1 n Kd days.

As molting c' | a heavy drain on the system, but few lens lay during that process, thougki i a HBBPhere are exceptions, and where the nurl h 9^B>er of eggs exceed one every two dajJ tl mHt will be found that a corresponding a: KBreduction occurs during some period ol t( ^^ the year. While we admit that certain individual hens have been known to layj B H as many as 150 or even 175 eggs in a P SB year, such cases are rare, and if one has t] a flocK of twenty hens or more, he should a V be satisfied if there is an average of 100 ' V eggs a years for the whole flock, or: a M rather nine dozen. Four dozen out of a the nine should realize thirty cents per v dozen, three dozen'should bring about v r twenty cents per itozen, and two dozen P Bhould realize fifteen ceuts per. dozen, or vi average of about twenty-three cents, ^ ")f course this calculation may be wrong, u k, 'it will convey an idea of what majlbe 1 pected." 0 HEsT Fertility from Fowls. v I^Mr. A.

HERSt TJaUinsr Fork from Coru> Young farmers are often disappointed Bv in tLe amount of pork they obtain from ^^^feedittg a given number of bushels of HHpcorn to hogs.

Whether it will pay o grind and cook food for hogs will lepend on several circumstances, such as he price of fuel, the cost of grinding, md the expense of labor.

At the recent fourth annual assemilage of the American Forestry congress. j >ehi in Boston, thtf corresponding secreary, Mr. Fcrnow, read a paper on Lumberman's Waste as a Fertilizer," vhich may indicate in many cases a soution of thj vexed and important ques- j ion, what shall we do with the debris eft by the loggers? In Europe, the i >ractice of using dead leaves of trees as ! itfertilizer, while it has always proved ! fitious to the forests, has not been a *al benefit to the tilled laud, because it ths eucouraged the wasteful practice of elling straw which should have been i sed for bedding and fodder. In Ger- j lany sawdust Las for a long time?since J 353 at least?been used for bedding attle, and the manure has been found p some repects better than that of straw. I' is now proposed to prepare a bedding Jaterial from the lumberman's waste, j rhich is so apt to occasion forest fires. { f the larger pieces of this debris can be I Ucaply disintegrated, and, together I .Tith the brush, be transported at pracliable cost to the worn-out farms which re so common in the Eastern States, it , lay be a great gain to agriculture as j rell as forestry. An agricultural paper j as recently attinned that land does not j eep in good heart on "the volatile, shortved commercial fertilizers," and that ! :ie old fashioned barnyard manure i needed to mix with them. It is beeved that recent experiments upon a irge scale in Germany have demounted that saw-dust bedding is cleaner, tore wholesome for stock, and that its se requires less labor and beside that le manure, arresting and saving more nrfo/-.tWr fVip mf-rnorrirmMs rnmnrmnds. v. ?vvvv O 1 7 arnishes more available plant-food. Excrments by scientific farmers in Onirioshow similar results. But the new lan is to use disintegrated brush, which ontains far more plant food than sawust or shaving. Analyses by Wolff nd Stockharut, German chemists of igh standing, give $2.78 as the value of le chemical fertilizers in a ton of straw, nd $3.53 as that of a ton of wood litjr, which shows the wood to be twenp-seven per cent, richer than the straw, lut in both materials the mechanical roperties are no doubt more important aan the chemical, and in this respect Iso the advantage is on the side of rood. But straw, properly treated, ha3 high value for a direct food for cattle, nd the portion of it that stock can eat rould, in most of the Eastern States, be rorth at least $10 per ton. In Hesse repared pine litter sells for $4.50 per on, which is half- the price of straw. I ave recently learned that a planinglill in New York city has a machine bat grinds up its shavings to the extent f fiifn t-nnc nor ,inrl that this was old for bedding at ten cents per bag .'eighing thirty-five pounds, or $5.70 er ton. One of our own members, Mr. licks, of Roslyn, L. I., has for years old his sawdust to his neighbors for $5 er ton, and both in the stable and field ; gives good satisfaction. Recipes.

D Curious Shell Mounds in Oregon. An item which appeared in the Orego- ^ nian some time since concerning a shell- j, bed ne:ir the Seaside house has been ? going the rounds of the eastern papers, \ which shows that the subject is of in- [ tercst to the people of that section.

Tbey are interesting to the i student, and but very little has been writ- , ten concerning them. r The traveler is tolcl that they were , formed by the fish-eating Indians. It is t probable t,hat the Indians of the inland j valleys made trips to the coast and , feasted on shellfish at certain seasons. There must have been immense numbers of them, as the shell deposits are numerous 8 and many of them extensive. Some of [ them are on the very shore of the ocean, r where they are laid open to view by the j.' wearing away of the bank; others are c situated along bays and streams, many t hidden by a covering of soil, and unno- j ticed until penetrated by the spade of t the laborer or tue plow 01 tne nusDanqra:m. c Jsear the Seaside house, on Clatsop ( Beach, is a very large shell mound, about half a mile from the present shore line. Hundreds of cart loads of shells have v been taken from it to make roads. It j is covered with about a foot of soil, a upon which large trees have grown up, s and fallen and decayed, and other large j trees have grown over them. From it ^ was taken during the past summer an jimplement made of bone, probably from ^ the rib of a whale. It is the only imple- a ment worthy of the name, so far as J known, that has ever been found in any 8 of these shell deposits. It is shaped liko a paddle, fourteen inches long, including the handle, is three and a half inches in c onrl cVinitOfi c f\ o<3 tn fif. t.Vlft e til UUU ww * v mv wMw ^ hand well. The blade part is three and! -j one-half inches in width, rounding on ^ one side aud flat on the other, and half ^ an inch thick in the centre, tapering ofil q to a sharp edge on each side. It appears s to have been intebded for a sort of knife j or rather cleaver, and must have been a t very useful tool before stone or iron j. knives were in vogue. Near the end of r the handle is drilled a hole, the ends of a which have been carefully reamed out to ^ prevent chafing the thong inserted to' form a loop to hang it up by. On each edge, near the handle, are' e four notches about an eighth of an inch; t in depth, intended to be ornamental.; Some needles of bone and a few stone- t hammers have also been found in the- ^ mound, but it appears as if these fish-' eating Indians were not possessed of, T many tools. s J Thn aio-ht of these vast deDOsits causes the beholder to ponder on the number of. * Indians who must have helped to create them, and the immense amount of shell- f] fish which they must have consumed, j. What caused their extinction? Their remains arc found in many places along the coast, in some places consisting only of moss-covered skulls, while in others their "l skeletons are found, each in his own * canoe, with another inverted as a roof, v waiting for a tidal wave to carry him out ^ on the great ocean of eternity.?Portland e Ortgonian. ? A Gigantic Meat Business. t The largest and most perfectly ap- t pointed abbatoir in the world is in New York, at the foot of West Fifty-ninth t street, the property of T. C. Eastman, f who is knpwn both in this country and ? inJEurope as "The Cattle King." One 8 thousand cattle, killed and dressed completely for the market, is the daily working capacity of the establishment. o Sometimes, nowever, not more mau ouv | a are disposed of in a day, and during the ? past summer the average weekly killing p here has not been over 4,000 heads.

In Mr. Eastman's abbatoir he uses no natural ice, refrigeration being attaiued very much more perfectly and cheaply by means of two rcfrigerat- ( ing machines. Each of these machines produces as much cold daily as would j result irom tue most uirect ?uu uuu- i i wasteful use of 110 tons of ice, and is | infinitely better than ice, since it gives , as low a degree of refrigeration without ! j humidity, as may be desired with great ] economy of space and convenience of ( application. The cost of operation of j these machines, including interest upon ( investment in the plant, etc., is?figured ( in dollars and cents?equal to supplying the quantity of ice that would be requis- i "Ite to do their work at seventy-live cents | per ton. Natural ice costs $2.30 to $4.00 per tou. So the machines elfect I a money saving of at least ?385 per j diem, and from that up to $713.?New | York Cook. Family Life in Siberia. I My village .chief was satisfied with r | himself and family, satisfied with his j live-stock :ind his crops, and satisfied with hia taxes, and over-population was , apparently the only thing which he and his peers conceived needed to be set aright. On this point we should remember that not nearly'all the land is : yet taken up,and that many of the farms ; are large as, and sometimes larger than, \ j the most extensive German manors. Even | a spoiled American farmer would be I satisfied with such au area.

I have made personal confirmation of this greed for extension and space in the towns, | where it is often carried to cxccs; thus ! I have seen parlors where the mirrors ' ani sofas could be counted by the dozen. In bright contrast with the I stereotyped complaints of the farmers i eoncerniuff the too thick population is the fact that they are all proud of having i a numerous progeny. The farmer loves his land, his cattle, his summer and fall, but he loves above everything a large family, 'while, notwithstanding his prejudice against strangers, he lives in the perfect conviction that the country needs men, and he governs his conduct accordingly. In every other country in the 1 world there are foundling hospitals; in ' Russia they are numerous, but in Siberia j there arc none.

It is said that the nations of the earth peak about ninety different dialects. Jut these dialects can be traced to a nuch smaller number of languages. All hese languages are divided into three lasses, namely, the Indo-Germanic, vhich embraces the ancient classical anguages and those of modern Europe; tie Sanscrit, which embraces all the 'arious languages of India, and the Seaitic, which embraces the Hebrew, ;hal(laic, Syriac, Arabic, etc. The gold and scarlet of the sun is riraled in the cupolas of St. Peter's cahedral, just finished at Moscow. There .re five of the cupolas, and no less than tine hundred pounds of gold were used n overlaying them. The doors of the emple cost $310,000, and upon the mar>le floors was expended $1,590,000. Ten housand worshippers can be comfortble if their souls will let them within his twelve million Ave hundred thouand dollar temple. One curious revelation made by recent :ensuses is found in the growth of the emale population of large cities. New fork contains about 25,000 more women han men; Boston has a surplus of 18,100 women; in Baltimore there are 17,100 more women than men, and so on in everal others of the large eastern cities, rifty years ago it was the men who came o the cities to pursue their careers, while he women stayed at home; but more ecently women, both in this country ind in Europe, have been crowding to he business centers. A statistician has been studying the iffect of comfort on longevity. His ables show that the richest people have in average life of fifty-two years, the niddling forty-six. and the poor only orty-one and a half. A well-to-do man 3* as liable to infectious disease as a jauper, while diphtheria, croup, whoopng cough, and scarlet fever are more irevalent among the rich. Consumption nd pneumonia claim the poor, who are :omparatively free from brain fever. Phere is apparently some advantage in >eing rich. The people of the Sandwich islands pere a good many years ago reclaimed rom their old style of heathenism. The pork among them was done by some of he earliest ot the missionaries. A modrn missionary who lives in Honolulu ays that the present danger with these slanders is not that they will relapse into he ancient heathenism of idolatry, but hat such heathenish practices as they earn from modern civilization will be oo much for them. The islanders are ihysically running down. Disease and Irunkenness have made grievous havoc ,mong them. The size of elephants is commonly ver-estimated. Their stature is almost lways exaggerated in those countries ^here they are found wild. Even Euroiean travelers of scientific training have aade notable mistakes in this respect. Jrican elephants which Major Denham, ne of the early explorers, supposed to ie sixteen feet high proved to be less han ten feet when killed. In Ceylon he native elephant, which was formerly hought to be larger than the African nimal, is rarely taller than nine feet; ind Sir Kiiieiwii"! uirwmt says the largest .pecimcns on that island do 1101 average nore than eight feet.

A German writer estimates the number >f blind persons in the world at about 1,000,000. This is not a mere guess, but is based on accurate statistics, which show that, on the average, there is oue blind pcrsoa among every 1,400; hence, is this planet has about 1.400,000.000 inhabitants, this would make 1,000,000 blind folks. The European countries differ somewhat in the proportion of blind inhabitants. In Austria one person is blind of every 1,785; in Sweden, of every 1,418; in France, of 1,191; in Prussia, of 1,111; in England, of 1,037. Then follow with a still larger percentage Russia, Norway and Finnland. The largest number of blind persons is to be found in Egypt. At Cairo one person among twenty is blind, and Dr. Franke, of Vienm,ouce encountered in one mornin'g ramble almost 1,000 blind men and women. Many are also found in China and Japan. Germany has the largest number of asylums for ' the blind, namely, thirty-five; then follows England with twenty-six, France thirteen, Austria-Hungary ten, Italy nine, Belgium six, etc. America, Asia and Africa tolmtin nnl IT oiv flCvllllYW VUIJ ??wj 4MW4S/, A commission appointed by the German government last fall on the subject of vaccination and its effects as a preventive of siunllpox reports that since 1874, when revaccination began to be strictly and ffcnerally enforced, not one death from smallpox has occurred in the ' i u:t~ ii e a Vjennan uriuy,. wuue m muse ui iiuai/ua and Fiance, where revacci nation is neglected and where the soldiers mix with an imperfectly protected population, the moitality has been high, rauging from ten to twenty-five per 100,000 in the Austrian army and from seventeen to twenty-nine in the French. Comparison of the ravages of the disease in the large cities of Europe is also made, in all cases the results being largely in favor of Germany. These facts are held to show that revaccination confcrs almost complete immunity from smallpox, and justify the enforcement of the ordinance by the German health authorities. Thi3 testimony accords with the third pronf ihf> Tllirinis board of health in its exhaustive report on this subject, to wit: "That not only may epidemic outbreaks be prevented with absolute certainity by vaccination universally and properly performed, but the iisease itself might be entirely eradicated and its reproduction be rendered practically impossible if every individual were efficiently vaccinated in infancy and the Dperation repeated at proper intervals of time."

A New Yorfc letter to the Troy Times says: A numerous and pitiable class is found in the girls who come thither to Decome cierss. ana wno cring great expectations, which invariably prove deceptive. It is estimated that there are nearly 30,000 girls employed in the stores in this city. The number may seem large, but Macy alone employs 500, and there are many houses which have almost an equal .number. The sufferings endured by this class, from being kept on their feet all day, have led to the enact ment of a law requiring owners to provide seats. I often notice these girls hurrying in (he morning to their work. No wonder their faces are so pale when so much of their time is spent in the unwholesome atmosphere of a store, with privation .of light and fresh air. The wages paid to this unfortunate class are hardly sufficient for decent subsistence, and thus they toil on, day af\ > day, in an almost hopeless slavery. ftJfcce it is well they are protected by legislation. These girls are in many instances the daughters of decayed families, who, therefore, have seen better days, and the | shopping gentry arc often waited on by unfortunute members of their own class. Jinny of them, however, come from the country, and are sadly disappointed. New York is a discouraging placa for poor folks generally, but for none is it worse than for poor girls. Ilence I would caution this class against coming hither. One of the important charities of this city is a lodging house for homeless girls, who can find shelter and food at a merely nominal rote. This institution should be enlarged to meet the increased demand. Stewart planned a house of Tm/Ima Uitf An oA cuis luau, uiu u uu^c the bequest, and the poor g:rls are thus robbed of the bounty designed for their benefit. There are about 6,377,000 Jews in the world, of whom 5,407,000 are in Europe, and 300,000 in America. Russia has 2,552,000, Germany 561,000, England 60,000, and Spain only 1,900. The World's Champion. Mr. Edward Hanlan, the great oarsman, and until his recent contest with Beach in Australia, the champion of the world, may certainly be lboked upon as an authority in everything affecting athlctic sports. Before leaving Australia for this country, he wrote a letter in which he stated that he had used St. Jacobs Oil with the most beneficial results. He found it a reliable remedy for muscular pains in the arms and limbs, and from his personal experience took great pleasure in recommending it. No stronger proof of the truth of what is claimed for St. Jacobs Oil could be furnished than this,. and it will undoubtedly carry great weight with all thoughtful and intelligent people.

I contracted a fearful case of blood poison In 1883. I was treated with the old remedies of Mercury and Potash, which brought on rheumatism and Impaired my digestive organs. Every joint in me wai swollen and full of pain. When I was given up to die, my physicians thought it would be a good time to test the virtues of Swift's Specific. I improved from the very first dose. Soon the rheumatism left me, my appetite became all right, and the ulcers, which the doctors said were the most frightful he had ever seen, began to heal, and by the first of October, 1884,1 was a well man again.
