The salt and water emedy does not entirely exterminate the Drown weevil, but lessens their numbers, rhis weevil damages corn very little. I ilso had mites in ray corn the past fall, which the salt and water exterminated as well as the black weevil. TO GET KID OP SHEEP TICKS. The ticks which are so numerous on lambs after the ewes are sheared are the iause of the Inmbs nibbling themselves md of their failure to do well. These nsects annoy the young animals excecdngly and should be got rid of at once by he following means: Procure a tight ox^pr vat large enough to hold a lamb, ,nd another with a slooping floor, from rhich the drainage can flow into a pail; ; nake a decoction of tobacco stems, one 1 ?ound to a gallon of water; pour boiling rater on the stems and steep them until he heat is reduced to 120 degrees; add wo ounces of sulphur to the gallon of rater with the tobacco. Pat sufficient f the liquid in the first vat to cover the amb all over but the head and put the amb into it, taking care to get the iquor thoroughly into the wool, put the amb into the draining box and squeeze he liquor out of the wool. So proceed hrough the flock. Keep some of the iquor hot in a kettle to replenish the "at. Sometimes buttermilk is poured n the back of the lamb and spread all hrough the wool for the purpose of killng these pests.

There is a wide difference of opinion ( ELS to how deep it is necessary or best to , ptir the soil in cultivating the growiug ( crops, says a writer in the Prairie Far- , tier. There are three items to be secured , it least; the destruction of the weeds, avoiding the unnecessary robbing of the toil of available plant food that will be 1 iaken up and used by the weeds; mellow- ; [ng or loosening up the soil so that the roots can penetrate readily; and rendering available plant-food that is already in the soil, but needs the action of the light md air to make it available. If the cultivation is commcnccd in good ; season, the weeds are very easily des- J fcroyed, without the necessity of disturb- j ing the soil more than two or three in- j ches. If the soil has been properly | brought into a frood tilth, as should be j o o I aone before the crop is planted, it shou!<^d be sufficiently loose and mello\^Ja^^tt& roots to penetrate, without after the plants have coiugMn|^ffi9*9B of loosening up so tha^^n^BgflHnDB tneate.

SMuHHDBHS 3?*ble to secure the necessary supply to fcfp up a vigorous growth^ Jlhere is another point th^ should also '** considered, and that is, if the soil is tirred deep, there must of necessity be more or less disturbance of the roots. The roots furnish a good per cent, of the food that enables the plant to grow, and if these are disturbed or broken, there must of necessity be a lessening in the supply. It is true that plants, like animals, as a rule, heal all cuts or wounds naturally, and if in cultivating the roots are cut or bruised, the damage will be repaired. There is, in addition, an outlay of strength that is unnecessary, and could De avoiaeci. j* uny as good a growtn ana yield can be secured by stirring tlie soil deep and thoroughly in plowing, then working into a good tilth and planting the seed, and theu, as far as possible, commencing the cultivation in good season, so that only the surface is stirred. This will be sufficient to keep down the weeds, and this is one principal point in cultivation. The work, too, can be done easier and more economically than to stir the1 soil deep at every cultivation. There may, indeed, be times when it is necessary to stir the soil deep, but it is the exception rather than the rule. TREATMENT FOR HORSE TRICKS. Dr. H. Reynolds maintains that the minor vice which impairs the value and spoils the salability of an otherwise excellent horse is, likely enough, traceable to bad management or severity in the treatment of the animal, and, certainly, harshness tends to confirm the evil way. He mentions balkiness as an illustrative instance, and adds in the New York Examiner suggestions for humane and effective cure of this and similar tricks : "It is no use to whip the balky horse. That only makes him worse. If a horse j refuses to go, let him stand and think of it for a few* minutes. Oftentimes he will soon think better of it and start olf of his own accord. If he docs not, get out and pat him, speak kindly, give him a; bunch of grass, a potato or an apple, un- j liitch the checkrein?rto something just to take his attention off the balking, and generally he will go along without further trouble. The horse is very susceptible to kindness, and there is ten times the chance to break up the habit of balk- | ing by kindly treatment that there is by I ibuse or violence; or, at least, harsh neans should not be resorted to until all levices prompted by kindness have been :horoughly exhausted. "Some horses have a trick of running jack when you want to start them. This s a worse fault than refusing to go at all, is it is liable to smash the carriage or injure, :hose in it. In such cases the same means is are recommended for a balky horse nay be tried. If those fail, take the horse1 uto the middle of an open level field,: itart him. and let him back as much as! is wishes, keeping the wheel turned soj s to make the circuit of the field as many; iincs as he wishes. Then make him keep, jacking until he is L^tilysick of it, j md dizzv. TlwtfTwni c^.Nthe >e-beak~afh!s own game, anc^!V^: | 1C^ Wf'jikely to try it again. Vi ? "Some horses by lying down in thcr^ arness break shafts and "do other mis- j | hief. The best way to break them of: hat trick is to give them an overdose of j t.

He will not be likely to put' dtnself again in a position that will give) ou a chance to hold him." The thought is emphasized that what-' ver the trick or vice, whipping or other! tarsh treatment will generally do no good;j t exasperates the animal, makes him moreibstinate, and perhaps, even furious. )nly by kind and intelligent management' :an you hope to reclaim him.

White an efficient remedy, but AN OLD-TIME RIOT. A TERRIBLE AFFRAY IN NEW YORK FORTY YEARS AGO. Sitter Rivalry Between Actors Forrest and Macready Ends in a Murderous Conflict Between Soldiers and Citizens. in America. At last they met in New York. One morning in early May, 1849, large posters covered the city announcing that Macready would appear as Macbeth in the Opera House, and that Forrest would make his bow to the public at the same time in the same character at the Broadway Theatre. The two announcements coming together looked like a declaration of war, and were so regarded by the partisans on both sides. Long before the time for the performance to begin an immense crowd surged around the Opera House in Astor Place. It was a curious mob?well dressed and illy attired men and women, some in silk and some in soiled and torn raiment. The house was filled in an instant. Before the curtain rose half the audience were stamping furiously when the orchestra was not playing. It was an ugly, vicious, ftamp and every one foresaw trouble. Macready looked out on the iiudience fiom the wings, and berame apprehensive. His fears were Shared by others. There was a proposition to postpone the performance, but blacreadv would not listen to it. When Duncan came on, the crowd, mistaking him for Macready, hissed and hooted. Perceiving their mistake, they became iquiet. The boxes loudly cheered when Macready appeared. The cheers were Jr1rr.wnf>r1 with vf>l!s_ ami not a word of i^h^Macready said could be heard. Mrs. [Pope, S^Lady Macbeth, was greeted with (ribald abv,J?e- Rotten eggs and other missiles we: \hurled at Macbeth when he again came onitTS. stage. But Macready went through witif-^he play to the end. IText day the respectatjte portion of the community was ranged the side of (Macready, and a letter, signed by Washing Irving, Charles King, GeneraikGeorge P. Morris, General T. S. Cumulin^, Moses H. Grinnell and a large number <>f other gentlemen urged Macready not to throw up his engagement, and pledged him their support. This letter was answered by the other side in the following inflammatory "poster' on all the dead walls of the city: : Workingmen! : : Shall Americans or English Rule : : in this Country? : I The crew of the British steamers have : : threatened all Americans who shall : dare to appear this night at the : : English Aristocratic Opera-House : ; Workmen ! Freemen ! Stand up to : : tour Lawful Rights! : Public opinion became inflamed to the very highest pitch of excitement. There were two parties, one who believed that the city had been disgraced and who were in favor of putting down the mob. On the other side -was the rough element, who had driven Macready from the stage and who were resolved that lie should not play. The meeting held at the Mayor's office was attended by the Sheriff, Major-General Sanford, Brigadier-General Hall and Chief of Police Matsell. It was resolved to protect the Opera House. Mayor Woodhull advised Mr. Niblo, the lessee, to close the Opera House and prevent a riot. Mr. 3Iatsell had 900 policemen on the force. He did not think it was sufficient, and it was resolved to call out the militia. Early in the evening of May 11, when Macready was to appear, 200 policemen were placed inside of the building and a detachment was held in reserve in the stable of Mr. Langdon, in Astor Place, and another body in a yard near by. The news of these preparations soon spread all over the city; every one foresaw that there was to be a riot,and the vicious,the idle and the curious flocked to the OperaHouse from all quarters. An immense crowd filled Astor Place at an early hour and, when the doors opened, a rush was made by the mob. 'They were driven back by the police. When those entitled to enter had succeeded in gaining admission the doors were closed and firmly barred. The windows were fastened with heavy planks. An attempt to batter down the doors failed, and the angry mob amused itself Ktt orviooVtrr Qtrflof. IflmnQ fltnnpc were hurled at the Opera-House windows and one missile went through, smashing .the great central chandelier. As soon as the play began, it became evident that a ilarge number of roughs were among the audience. They had planned to make a jush for the stage as soon as Macready appeared and seize him. Chief of Police Matsell was aware of the plot and had arranged with his force a signal for (action. The roughs rose for the assault. -Chief Matsell was ready. At the given signal, his men started to their feet and the roughs quailed before their uplifted clubs. Some of the ringleaders were hustled out of the building and others were confined in a room in the basement. By this time the riots had begun on the outside. Paving-stones, which unfortunately were ready upturned, owing to a construction of a sewer in the vicinity, went hurling through the air. The police outside were fiercely attacked and nearly overpowered when the Seventh Regment, with Colonel Duryee at its head, came ' ' . -4^^ i V1 I . Clinton Hall, on Astor Place,New York, | is to be torn down. Many years ago it | -was known as the Astor Place Opera House, and in -the squares and streets around it forty years ago, a riot, which has few parallels itv^he annals of any community, took place \jvith the result of killing or wounding upward of two hundred citizens and citizen soldiers. The riot, says the New York World, arese out of thn bitter rivalry between Edwin Forrest and Charles Macready, the English actor. The animosity between the two Victors had existed for years. It Lid manifested itself on both sides of the Atlantic?in London and in Edinburgh, in Boston, in Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities of minor importance. In all these places, however, the contest had not gone further than acrimonious cards in the newspapers and threats of suits for ?:bel, which never came into court. During the progress of the professional duel between the two tragedians the bitterest national prejudices and passions in England and in America were aroused. One of Forrest's starring expeditions in London was a failure. He was hissed and hooted by the partisans of Macready. Macready, on the other hand, met with an equally disastrous financial failure in the Uuiled States. Forrest charged his rival with conspiring against him abroad. Macready brought a similar charge against Forrest upon the scene. They had been undei arms in their armory nt Centre Market. The National Guard troop of horse led the advance, turning into Astor Place from Broadway. A vigorous charge was made on the mob. It was met with a discharge of stones thrown by thousands of the worst ruffians in the city. Many of the mounted men fell, stunned, from their saddles. Their untrained horses plunged wildly about and the entire troop was thrown into confusion. At this point, Colonel Duryee galj lantly pressed on toward the mob, which ; seemed to be on the verge of victory. i He led his men in close file to tne waus of the building in the rear and then forced his way to the front. The mob received them with a shower of stones, shattering over thirty stand of arms in the. hands that held them. Many of the men were struck to the ground, severely injured by jagged stones found in a near-by stone-yard. No orders to fire had yet been given, and Recorder Tallmadgc, who, in the absence of the Mayor represented the supreme authority of the city, was notified that unless the order to tire was given the soldiers would withdraw. The Recorder, Generals Hall and San ford held a consultation and it was decided to fire. The order was given by | Sheriff Westervelt. The fiist volley was over the heads of the mob at a blank wall. This only encouraged the mob. They believed the troops were afruid of them and that they would not dare to use ball. Colonel Duryee shouted to the mob that "the next volley of stones would be returned with lead." "Fire away!" shouted one of the ringleaders, boldly baring his breast before a musket. "Fire, will you?" bellowed another as he hurled a stone at General Sanford. The order to fire was given. "Only one musket," an account of the riot says, "responded, and was answered by defiant yells and more pelting by the mob. 'Fire!' again shouted General Sanford, his voice almost smothered by the roar of the seething multitude. Only two or i three muskets responded, when Colonel | Dmycc, in ringing tones, shouted 'Fire!' and a ringing volley all along the line responded." This fire was fatal, and the mob fell back on all sides. A stand was J made at several points, and it was | found necessary to Are a second and i a third volley before they finally dispersed. Twenty-three persons were killed and twenty-two wounded. The rioters made bonfires behind barricades on the Bowery. They had the effect of enabling the police to identify the ringleaders, more than thiity of whom were arrested. The troops remained masters of the situation. The killed and wounded were removed to the hospitals and their homes, and a night of horror, such as New York had never before seen, came to an end. At an early stage of the riot, Macready managed to escape from the building in the disguise of 2 militia officer. Next day, he went to Boston and shortly after tailed jfor England. Forrest played at he Broadway while the tumult -was ragidg in and around the Opera Hoise. He was not, of course, in any way responsible for the horrible outbreak. Macready subsequently expressed his regret that he had not taken the advicb of those who. counseled him not to play. Next day the town was in a tornado of excitement. A mass meeting of citizens was called to meet in City Hall Park. Sp-c-prnl f.hrmsnnrl nprsnns whn svmnn thized with the rioters assembled and ' after fiery addresses by Isaah T. Rynders, ] Edward Strahan, u3Iike" Walsh and i others, resolutions were adopted censuring the authorities and calling for the in- 1 dictment of the officials who were responsible for the heartless sucrifice of human iife. A coroners jury justified their action* AV Foolhardy Indian. Until a few years ago the Arikara Indians living at Fort Berthold, on the ' Upper Missouri (Dakota), held a series ( of interesting ceremonies, conducted by ] their medicine men. These ceremonies, 1 says a writer in the Philadelphia Press, usually occupying about seven weeks, , were attended by Indian visitor? from all directions. At the conclusion of them one day was generally set apart for an \ extraordinary display of what might be t termed allegorical exhibitions, whicL : took place in the open air around the vicinty of the sacred or medicine lodge. < It was customary, at such times, for i one of the medicine men to display feats 1 of courage?though they were in reality ' conjuring?and one of the tricks was for t the medicine man to stand up ana allow : a confederate to shoot at him with a rifle, the principal to catch the ball between 1 his teeth. It happened upon one of j these occasions that the "fellow" { made a public challenge, as usual,for any g one to step forward and discharge a gun 1 at him. At previous times the medicine man would load his own gun in the pres- s ence of the tribe, but on account of a 1 slot filed in the barrel of the rifle the ball escaped, and there was no harm in the ^ charge of powder; the ball itself was \ hidden under his tongue, and would be seen by the Indians after the discharge, I of course, between his teeth. In the last instance, the reservation (compelling the challenged man to use the c medicine man's gun) was omitted, and a [ Cree Indian, from the Northwest Terri- ( tory, who, by the way, had a drudge t against the Arikara, immediately accepteu \ the challenge and stepped back to fire. ] The Arikara was fully aware of his dan- -< ger, as his enemy was armed with a Win- j Chester, but rather than be designated a r coward he stepped back to receive the g shot. The Cree fired, and the Arikara ? fell, the ball having passed through his forehead. Thick Skinned Animals. The whale,which belongs to the mum- I malia,no doubt holds the palm for thick- ] ness of skin. At some parts of its body, the skin is only two inches thick, but in I many places its pelt is fully two feet in [ thickness. The skin of the whale is the J substance usually known as blubber, and Jj in a large specimen will weigh altogether y more than thirty tons. The distinction " of being the thickest-skinned quadruped } belongs to the Indian rhinoceros, whose hide hits a knotty or granulated surface, I and is so impenetrable as to resist the i claws of the lion or tiger, the sword, or I n the balls of the old-fashioned musket, u So still and hard is this skin that were it s not divided by creases or folds the ani- mal imprisoned in its armor could scarcely move. It is manufactured into leather of great strength and durability, and targets and shields are made of it that are absolutely proof against darts or sword i strokes. The skin of the hippopotamus I runs that of the rhineroceros very closely ' as regards thickness. When dried it is also used for shields, which are highly prized by natives. . . i \ ly , ' 1 ' ' 1 xvJ' '-'l; A Quaker Woman's Coolness. I The tales recently published in the iPress of the heroic conduct of ladies "when in danger from robbers, remind me !of the courage of a quiet old Quaker lady, jin Burlington, Vt., of which I heard years ago. i She and a younger sister lived together 'in one of the plcasantest streets of that 'little city,no one occupying the house but themselves and their one servant. The two India; had spent an evening -with a neighbor, and, returning to their home 'before 10 o'clock, one of them passed into the kitchen to give some directions to the maid servant there, while the elder sister, lighting her candle, proceeded directly to her bedroom upstairs. Opening the large clothes-press there to put her bonnet in its accustomed place, she thought she saw something more than usual in the far corner of the capacious closet, and taking the light in her hand she at once began to investigate. Parting the garments that hung upon the pegs she found herself confronted by a man, who had concealed himself among their ample folds. "Why! what in the world is then doing there?" inquired the surprised, but not at all terrified, old may, ana as tne intruder, appareuuy asmuch astonished by her coolness as she by his presence, raade no reply, she continued: "Thee knows thee has no business in my closet among my gowns. Come right out, this very minute, and go down stairs, and out of the house, and never let me see thy face here again." The man, seemingly nonplussed by her fearlessness, meekly obeyed without a word, and she lighted him down the stairs, admonishing him all the way. and finally fastening the front door of the house behind him as calmly as if closing it upon a friend.?Philadelphia Press. A Canning Minion of the Law. The other day a young London doctor, who, doubtless from some scientific or other high motive, had declined to pay a bill, had a "distress" served upon him in the most ingenious manner. He intelligence had long defied the bloodhounds of the law, but the broker's man alone was one too many for him. The doors were locked, the windows bolted, the area gate impregnable; but the genius to whom had been intrusted the task of entering the castle, was equal to the occasion. What he looked for was "the motive"? that is, the motive which would be most like to induce a young doctor to open his door; and he found it in a "patient." He drove up to the door in a cab as a chronic but well-to-do invalid. Swathed in flannel he tottered up the steps, and when the sympathizing physician let him in and was about to inquire into his case, he replied: "Summons, sir; I'm the broker's man."?Argonaut. The little kingdom of Denmark, with less than 15,000 square miles (an area not twice the size of New Jersey) and with a population of near 2,000,000 is a large producer of butter. The milch cows number about 900,000 and the export of butter, mostly to England, was 45,000,000 pounds in 1887. This is nearly three times the amount exported in 1877.
