farif and house hold. Brcfs as Feed for Stork, The beet, in its general properties, resembles the turnip, but has a larger per cent, of solid matter, and generally contains more sugar. The principal objection to raising beets for feeding Stock is the large amount of hand labor required in the early stage of their growth. Beets will not endure frost quite as well as turnips, and therefore they shonld bs gathered and stored somewhat earlier. They may be kept in a cellar, but if the cellar is very dry they are liable to wilt and become tough. This may be remedied by occasionally Bprinkling them with water. l>eets keep well covered with earth, but this method Is inconvenient in sevcie freezes. The roots may be deeply covered with straw in the brrn or under any shelter, and be kept well. In feeding, the roots should be cut so tnat cat'.le can eat them conveniently. This can best be done by slicing tiiem on an old-fashioned cutting box. They may be fed alone, or with bran or meal.?Indiana Farmer. Road paving1 THatcrlal. ^ ?- ' ? r\ f IliA nAiin. JC miUC'IS in uiuiiv tcoiuma vx iuvs t.vuu try worry both their teams and themselves with slowly pulling through muddy roads, when there are at hand gravel heaps, cool allies, slack and cinders or other material that, at small cost, would bring these same roads into good condition. In a paper on road paving material, read by John T. Campbell, a civil engineer, before the Indiana Association of burveyors and Engineers, at Indianapolis, a number of suggestions were made that come within the reach of many fanners to carry out. In sections where coal-slack, a<lu-s or cinders can be had for the hauling, farmers are assured that Baid materials serve well for the under two-thirds of the navincr materials, and that this covered with au upper third of gravel makes a road that cuts less than one all gravel. Sin h material is cheaper too than poor gravd. A team can haul a largo wagon l>o\ heaping full, being two and a half times the bulk of a load of gravel. Charcoal alco makes a fair paving material, not so good as good gravel, but better than poor grave!. .Mr. Campbell i therefore suggests charcoal for the main body of the roadbed, in localities where timber is cheap and gravel is scarc e.1 The charcoal absorbs and rapidly evaporates, water, hence gives a dry road Boon after a rain. It should be covered with a thin coat of good gravel to hold it down from blowing and washing away, and from taking tire. The use of common straw to harden and make compact sandy roads was also considered by Mr. Campbell, who claimed that if four inches of loose gtraw be spread on a sandy road, the road, after a few day's travel, will be-' come as firm and compact as a dry clay road. Straw that has been worn out 1 for bedding purposes, thrown on bad places in sandy roads is just suited to the purpose. It was suggested that broken Straw might be used to advantage on ! new gravel roads, where (he gravel is much mixed with sand, and thereby packs slow. It would give instant relief and would not hurt the quality of the gravel.?New York World. Treatment oY Hog:*. Hogs are too often treated, from birth to slaughtering, as if they had no rights that their owners wcrebouni to respect. The street hog is a king compared to many that ate kept in pens, for the Street hog has an opportunity to keep ' clean and to breathe as pure air as does his owner. The hog, as he is often kept by respectable, well meaning people, is very badly abused. He is kept in a email pen in the open air, exposed to hot sun, cold wind, and driving rain and snow. We have seen many pens the past summer, and they can be seen every day in the year by those who will look for them, where the soft mud and filth a foot deep extended over the whole area, so there was not so much as a single dry straw to sleep on. The hogs j must sleep in water and cat in soft mud, j made not only filthy but poisonous by , their own accretions. In such pens farmers often throw ears of corn to be eaten in the mud? and then when the animals become sick from exposure to cold or wet, or poisoned by their filthy food the owners wonder what made vucia The hog in his general makeup is sa'd to be more like man than any other animal. It is certain that human beings arc sometimes met with who are much dirtier than hngs ought to be, and in other respects comparisons might be piade that would bring little discredit to the four legged animal. The hog if left j wholly to himself is a very clcanlv disposed creature. lie likes grass, fresh fruit and grain very much better than he likes these things after they arc half spoiled by decay. In the open field he keeps his feeding place and sleeping place free from filth. He takes cold and gets fevers under precisely the same conditions that would luing a cold or fever into the family of his owner, and is subject to contagious diseases that affect him very much as other contagious diseases afTect man. He has to rjugh it. and like man he grows in a degree tough and hardy by such roughing. But there is a limit to his endurance and hardiness. As a money producing animal it would pay to treat the hog very much better than the average hog is usually treated. First of all, a hog confined in a small pen should have at all times clean, dry placos to eat and to sleep in. No animal is ever gaining profitably to its keeper when that; animal is bodily or mentally uncomfort- i able. A little muddy water to wallow in will not seriously injure a hog, if it can have a dry placc to lie in. Muddy water is better than none, especially in dry weather. It is believed by many that the pig's legs should often be wet, to keep the tissues open and active. At any rate water is agreeable to the hog: and if he is fed largely upon dry food pure water to drink is indispensable to good health. Farm and Garden Notes. To prevent rats and mice from gnaw ing leather of any kind, brush or rub it over with common castor oil. eneanng iamos m inuisummer is claimed by English far;ners to greatly increase the growth of the carcass. Most farmers who have thoroughly tested the experiment of cutting fodder and bedding for their stock are satisfied that it pays to do so. The wool with which sheep are covered is admirably adapted to exclude cold so long as it is dr}T, but when thoroughly wet it iyas bad as no covering whatever. If shelter is provided sheep will stay under it in stormy weather,and their wool will be enough better to make shelter profitable, asid} from the greater comfort and thrift of the sheep. There is unfortunately not enough demand for sweet apples for market to ?&ke them a profitable crop, but faun- ] ers having trees of produclir? tweet apples need not destroy them. Probably in no other way can as much good food be produced from a small area as from an apple tree tli it will bear every year, as some kind3 of natural sweet apples will. A New York farmer who grew his potatoes this season upon a rich piece j of inverted clover sod. a part of which ; was treated to a liberal coating of barn! yard manure, and the remainder not ferj tilized, states that there was 110 increase of yield on the manured portions, while ! the loss from rotting was nearly three ! times as great as upon that part of the ! tield where no manure was used. It is one advantage of turnips that 1 they arc a crop not damaged but rather i benefited by slight freezing of the ; ground. Of course they should not be i handled when frozen, but in a day or two after they will have a finer flavor than before. Some of the harsh, coarse ! taste is removed after light frost has j touched the roots. And it will take a ; pretty hard frost to spoil turnips, pro; vided they are left in the ground until ! thawed. i Before putting new pork in the barrel it should be thoroughiy scalded, to re; move impurities and to destroy any germs that would surely affect the pork | if nut removed. A barrel that has once i been used to pack beef should never I after be used as a pork barrel. It will i be found next to impossible to keep pork sweet in it. But this is a rule that ' does not work both ways. An old pork barrel is one of the very best for keeping beef. j From comparative experiments, Professor E. Wollny. the Ucrm;in investigator, has shown the effect of weeds upon the productive power of plants. Both quantity and quality of the crops were seriously affected by allowing the ! wee'.ls to grow, the injury being the greater the more slowly the plants were ^developed. Teas and summer rape suffered least; beans, maize and potatoes were injured to the extent of forty-live to sixty-six per cent.; and beets showed a loss of ninety-seven per cent. | An authority on diseases of sheep says the external symptoms of fluke in sheep arc: A wasting condition, skin loose and flabby, sometimes spotted yellow or black, with a peculiar crackling sound when handled. After death insects called flukes will be found in the liver. When it has fairly set iu rot is incurable. In the early stage3 the sheep may be fattened. Feeding vegetable charcoal is said to be a cure. One-half drachm sulphate of iron aud H drachms common salt should be given daily, mixed in the food. Thoroughly fattened turkeys and chickens should be picked dry, hung up nntil the animal heat has escaned, and then packed in clean straw, each fowl being separately wrapped in clean, poru3 paper. Some persons puck in clean leaves, using no paper, but only bright, clean, long straw. Ducks and geese should always be scalded and steamed by covering up with a blanket for a short time before picking. In other respccts handle them as turkeys and chickens; but no poultry should be packed until perfectly cool and dry. As far as possible beans should be thrown on scaffolds, or, if put in bags, spread thinly and not trampled. If beans heat in the mow they become musty and worthless. By leaving until cold, dry weather in winter surplus moisture is got rid of, and the beans thresh more easily and perfectly than in the fall. Probably the cheapest way to tlimsh henns is bv the tramninsr of horses after the | beans are spread on a barn floor. The horses1 shoes should be removed to avoid cracking the beans by the iron points which bear the weight of so large an animal. Recipes* Stewed Carrots.?Boil the carrots until tender; also, boil separately five sm:iil onions; cut the carrots into any smali, fanciful pieces you may choose; mince the onions and chop a sprig of parsley; have a pint of milk boiling, which season with a little pepper and salt, adding asmall piece of butter rubbed iu a tcaspoonful of flour; put in the carrots and onions and let simmer ten minutes; stir in the parsley and dish at once. Corn Bread.?To make a loaf of lijjht corn bread for breakfast, beat up two fresh eggs, add a cup of milk, half sour and half sweet, a lump of soft, fresh butter, a little salt and a little salaratus. Beat in enough corn meal to make a moderately thin batter. Beat very hard, pour into a buttered pan and bake it in a pretty hot oven, one not hot enough, however,to burn the top before the nnciaic is cooKea. Pumpkin Soup.?Take three pounds of pumpkin: peel it and cut it into small pieces. Put it in a sauce p:in with water enough to cover it, adding a little salt; boil gently until it is soft, drain it and pass it through a fine colander, for it must not be watery. Put three pints of milk in a stevvpan and mix with it the strained pumpkin; let it come to a boil; add a very little white sugar and salt and pepper to taste, and serve. A Breakfast Disit.?Take some slices of cold beef or lamb, season them with pepper and salt, and broil them; take some raw potatoes and after taking off the skin pare them or sl'ce them as you would pare an apfde; dip these thin parings into a batter made of flour and milk, then fry them a dcllcatc brown in a good liberal allowance of very hot lard. This is served on a platter, the meat put on llrst, and the potatoes laid over it. Household Hints. Take fine white sugar and put it onefourth of an inch thick on top of your jellies and they won't mold. Carbolic soap not only keeps mosquitoes olT, but every kind of insect, for which reason it is wise to use it to scrub floors and paiut, and always to take a cake when traveling. Old newspapers will put the finishing touch to newly cleaned silver, knives and forks, and tinware better than anything else. Kub them well and make perfectly dry. They are excellent to polish stoves that have not been blackened for some length of time. A good way to clean wash basins, etc., I is to rub with a little baking soda on a damp cloth; it is also good to clean wash bowls, and unpainted woodwork; and a tablespoonful added to a pail of mop water will clean your lloor easily and make it look well. A little turpentine in the wash-boiler j will make clothes very white, and will 1 often remove incorrigible stains from ; white goods. A tablespoonful of turpentine to a large boiler, or a teaspoonful to two gallons of waier. There is no smell, the boiling preventing it. In 1855 each operator in a shoe factory I (according to Massachusetts Labor com| mission statistics) made 455 pairs of 1 shoes and earned S205 a year. In 187G 1 he made 1,205 pairs, and his wages had j risen to $397, though he worked twelve [ per cent, less in time. TIMELY TOPICS. ?" I The Palma Christo plant, now beiug extensively planted in parts of South Carolina as a substitute for cotton, is as ( easily cultivated as corn, requires no par- ] ticular care in handling the seed, and yields a large profit. The climate of Lower South Carolina i3 all that could 1 be desired, and on the sea islands the < plant attains remarkable growth without labor or attention. < The supreme court of Indiana has just J ! decided that a man whose mill was fired 1 by the negligence of a railroad company < may recover full damages therefor from ' the company, although he may have been paid for his loss by an insurance) company. The court held that a contrary decision would give the wrongdoer the benelit of on insurance on which others had paid the premiums. Professor V. C. Riley, the well known entomologist, has presented to the National museum his collection of insects, which contains over 20,000 species, and more than 115,000 mounted specimens, beside additional unmounted material, j A large number of books and pamphlets j accompany this gift, which is considered c one of the most valuable ever received * by the government. 3 The expression "galvanizing a corpse" ? has ceased to be exclusively metaphori- ( cal. M. Kergovatv, a Frenchman, has discovered a method of preserving bodies by giving them a metal coating. We may, according to our means, become silver-plated, nickel-plated, or galvan ized with zinc or copper. The process has been thus far tested successfully on eleven hum in bodies and more than one hundred times on the carcasses of animals. The cave nut of which General Israel Putnam dragged the wo'f is seldom 1 visited, because it is in a stony, moun- s tainous forest in a remote corner of Con- "] necticut. A picnic party this summer e made the tedious trip, which involved 1 scver.il miles of rough walking. There c arc pictures in primers of Putnam entering the cave erect, with a blazing torch held above his head. The hole is really so small that it can only be explored on hands and knees, and an adult cannot turn round in ^it. The length is 200 feet, and tradition says that ho followed the beast to the farther end, shot him between the eyes by their own glow, and was drawn out with him by means of a rope. A young man in Chicago, last summer, suddenly found that one side of his face was ailing. An hour or two afterward his right eye refused to close, aud the paralysis of the whole facial region was complete, lie went to the doctor and found that personage treating threi other young men for exactly the sami affection. The right eye remained open four weeks. The sense of taste was greatly weakened. The main nerve, e which had been shut off by a decrease ? in the orificc of the skull, was finally loosed, and no chronic effect beyond a slight optical weakness followed in any of the four. It would be interesting to know, adds the Current, whether or not tobacco had aught to do with these remarkable cases. In some recent scientific experiments on the effects of cold, two frogs were frozen solid in a temperature of about twenty degrees Fahrenheit, and kept in that condition half an hour. On thawing slowly they recovered perfectly, but it was found that longer periods of exposure invariably killed the animals. ; The experiment was tried of freezing hermetically sealed meat, so as to kill its bacterial organisms, and thus render it incapable of putrefjung. It was found, however, that so low a temperture as . eighty degrees below zero would not destroy the vitality of micro-organisms. ^ It was thus made clear that the attempts to preserve meat for a long time by a j; momentary freezing of it must be abandoned. ? The ladies of Japan show not less p readiness to adopt Western ideas and ? usages than the Japanese of the other a box. The belles of Yeddo order dresses ^ from Paris; and the progress of imita- v tion has gone so far as to make a knowl- j] edge of the fashionable dances of Eu- ^ rope an' indispensable feature in the ed- ? ucation of every Japanese lady who q respects herself. A riding school is ^ about to be opened in Yokohama ex- t clusively for the use of native ladies, and ]n it promises to be largely patronized. ^ The Japanese government is about to ^ take a stej) which will have the effect of D bringing the more solid branches of y Western education within reach of the n female subjects of the mikado. A number of youncr women are about to be a sent to Europe to receive a thorough training in the essential branches of fe- <] male education as it is understood there, T with a view to their subsequent employ- c ment as teachers in their own country 0 when qualified. c a A French periodical lately gave some d remarkable statistics concerning savings 1 banks. Fifteen European States, with a population of 102,000,000, are included in the statement. Since 1874 the progress made by savings banks in these n countries has been astonishing. The in- a st.itutions themselves date from 1817, s England being their birthplace. It took ^ the fifty-seven years between 1817 and s 1874 to arrive at an aggregate of 12,000,- a 000 of depositors, possessing among them t $1,-110,000,000. Within the next four 8 years the depositors had increased to t 10.000,009 and the stock of savings to f ?1.880 000,000. This had increased in t 1S82 to upward of 21,250,000 depositors t and $2,520,000,000. A novel feature of t (he system in France is the school-sav- s ings banks, introduced in 1874. of which J there arc now 23,000. These institutions r not only lead children to become pru- t dent, but have a reflex influence in the e same direction upon the parents. c In his address before the third Na- t tional Convention of Stockmen, held at Chicago recently, Hon. Normaa J. Cole- r man, commissioner of agriculture, placed v the number of cattle within our borders ^ fit 45,000,000, and he estimates their c value at $1,200,000,000. . This is a vast i aggregate of wealth locked up in one industry alone. Add to this sum the money represented by 1:5,000,000 of c horses and mules, 50,000,000 of sheet) r and 45,000,000 of swine, and we have a grand aggregate of $2,500,000,000. The Turf, Fie'd and Farm says: "Notwithstanding the enormous development of d the live stock business, the national leg- j islature at Washington has been slow to recognize its importance. It has been 1 mortTready to pass bills for the protection of other interests than of the great ? animal industry. But through convention the stockmen are impressing the truth upon the public mind, and Con- 1 gress is less inclined to dismiss bills in- 0 troduced to guard the industry from the 13 dangers which surround it." j g SHOT FOR DESERTION. The Punishment o? n Woulcl-Ke Bounty Jumper. "Fall in to witness execution. Turn out every man," said the adjutant on the morning of December 1864. We were then near Fort Dushane on the Weld on railroad, and the wide field near this work had been selected as the scene af the most impressive service in military life. No excuse availed that clear and cold December morning, but every man in the regiment was put in the ranks, and marched with unwilling steps to the place assigned in the division line. The 'litriciisMi fArmnrl nn flirnn airl(>c nf n square in two rankg, opened and faced inward, leaving a lane about ten paces wide. After the lines were formed we iid not have long to wait, but the pris- J Dner, preceded by the division band, led , !>v Henikc, late of the Gcrmania band of i Boston, entered the lines, and commenced the march of death. The band idded to the solemnity of the occasion by playing a dirge. The victim, a liueooking young fellow of twenty-one, ( narched with head erect, glancing from i ight to left, as if the affair was a street 1 parade in his honor. It seemed impos- ] sible that he was taking hi9 last look at ! lis comrades, and that he could be a de- ( ;erter to the enemy- In answer to the < juestion, "Whois he?" this was told: I [ John E.

True to his word, he came to Massa- | 1 'husetts, and enlisted as a*private in * :ompany II, First Massachusetts heavy 1 irtillery, and was sent to the front as a 1 ecruit. After a time the young woman leard what her lover had done, and hen she repented of her conduct. She i vrote to him beseeching him to come < lome, and promising that if he would i he would bestow her hand upon him. i This very naturally made our recruit un- ^ iasy. lie had received a large bounty rom the town of Ilolliston, aud he 1 irgued that could he get home once 1 nore, with a wife and several hundred I 1 lollars, he might reasonaably hope to be I lappy. The girl continued to write lrging him to come home, and her per- | * istence put the idea of desertion into ; 1 lis head. While in this stale of mind le came across one of the circulars which , he Confederates issued and scattered t lear our picket line, and distributed in J he camps where they could do so. t nl - 1 1_,1 1 I (Jirtruiiua uppcuicu tu auiuici^ugio n the Union army, promising any < vho -would desert to the Confederates c hat they should at once be returned ] ,o their own country at the expense of t ;he Confederacy. This was a great ' :emptation, and we lost a good many nen by the ingenious plan. Dixon re- 3 iolved to accept the offer of the Confcdsrates, that he might also accept the olTer J )f his girl. i ] One night on picket he threw off his !1 squipment and gun, left his post and * tarted for the Confederate lines. It was i lark, and he did not know our line had * nade a turn at right angles not fur from lis post. The consequence was j hat he left our liues, obliquing l little in tne aarKnesy, uuu m- i tend of reaching the Confederate [ r >utposts, he very soon came upon one of j j >ur pickets. "Hullo, Johunv!" said 1 le, "I've come over to surrender myself. I 've got sick of stopping with these tanks any longer." "The deuce you t lave!" remarked the vidette, and the leserter was quickly secured by the sol- , liers and marched back to camp, i ,'harges were preferred, a court-martial ] ound him guilty and he was sentenced ? o be shot. As desertion had been quite j :ommon among the foreign born soldiers, c t was decided to make an example of his case, and his execution was ordered. ? Ilis grave was dug in the open Bide of he square above described, and a plain * offin placed beside the opening. When s he procession reached the spot the band arched to one side, and both lines were | accd toward the prisoner. He coolly re- c aoved his cap and coat and conversed yith the chaplain, who prayed fervently 8 or the soul about to take its flight. The 8 irisoner then seated himself on the foot ? if the cortin. his nauas were not ueu, ? nd he requested that his eyes be not ^ andaged. But the provost marshal rould not consent to that, but tied a j landkerchief over his face. The firing c /arty consisted of eight men with seven 1 ;uns loaded with ball and one with blank artridge, neither one of them knowing phich had the blank.
