The Fisherman's Widow. Down on the sands, when the tide is low, I sit and dream of the " long* ago The children play at their mother's feet, And the chime of the waves is hushed and sweet; But a voice drifts over the quiet shore, And whispers, " The sea shall bo no more.*' Down an the sands, when the red light pales, I sit and watch for the fisher's sails; And my heart throbs stills with the old, old pain, For the boat that will never come back again; But a new world waits fcr my love and me? A world of peace?where is no more sea. For God is good, and the gift he gave Is held a while by that silver wave ; Not lost, but hidden ; I may not weep, While he is at rest in the solemn deep, VAIAK r\t <*r? QTiornl Cno^l'B fo T>1A AUU bUU TViVO VI 0? the fair new home where is no more sea. Farmhouse notes. Milk.?The milk producers in the neighborhood of Chicago have formed an association for the protection of their interests. At a late meeting they decided to fix the wholesale price of milk for the six months, beginning with October first, at eighteen cents a gallon. During the summer it was twelve and a half cents a gallon. The association is new, but is growing in strength. Fbuit Trees.?It has been suggested more than once that in setting out fruit trees, they should be placed in the same position with reference to the points of the compass as before transplanting. The same idea is brought out in a recent article in Lts Monde*, where the neglect of this precaution is given as explaining why some trees are weak, contorted and stunted. They became so, as the writer believes, in the ellorts to recover their original "orientation." The theory is 1 -ui ?,i certainly a piausioie <juc, uuu 10 those who are setting out trees to make a note of it. Whole Wheat.?Wash a quart of clean, white winter wheat, put it with water in a farina kettle or in a tin pail set into a kettle of boiling water, the pail being kept from the bottom of the kettle by a few naik or pebbles thrown in, ami cook it slowly for twelve hours ; or until the kernels are quite soft. Both the kettle and pail should be kept well supplied with hot water. If any salt is wanted it should be added after the wheat is cooked, as salt will render the bran tough. Wlieat thus prepared is excellent, eaten with milk or dressed with cream and sugar. A Good Keceipt foii Making Bread. ?Good flcur, good yeast, and a careful hand are requisite. From three quarts of sifted flour take one half-pint in a separate vessel and scald it. Let the paste cool to blood-heat, a'nd then add one egg, one table-spoonful of salt, one cup of new milk, and one cup of fresh yeast, Whip the whole well with a spoon, and then pour it into the midst of the three quarts of flour; kuead it thoroughly with as much warm water as will make it into a moder ately stiff dough. Let the bread rise until it is at least twice its former size; then, after kneading a great deal, mold out the loaves or rolls into smooth, regular forms; wet them ovur with cold water to prevent cracking, and set them to rise again under a clean cloth. When on touching one side they will quiver on the opposite side, they are sufficiently light. Then wet again with cold water, and bake immediately. If fermentation has Dot taken place at this stage, the bread will not be sufficiently light; and if it is suffered to ferment after this, the bread will lose its sweetness. A tin kettle, with a closelyfitting cover, is the best thing in which to set your bread to rise, particularly when it is set over night to We baked tor breakfast. Plowing Sanpy Soils.?Spring is the time to plow sandy soils. If plowed in the Autumn the repeated freezings and thawings of winter will so loosen and lighten them a3 to be easily drifted and injured by freshets, whereas it is desirable to fall-plow heavy clays, which are rendered friable by the freezings and thawiugs of winter. Many farmers fear that to subsoil plow saudv soil wouM be too loose, by leaching, all the manure they apply, forgetting that a very slight percentage of clay or carbonaceous matter is sufficient to absorb and retain manures till used by plants ; for, if it were not so, there would be few wells the water of which would be fit to drink. The fact is, that sandy soil?, as a rule, are greatly benefited by subsoil plowing. Such soils are easily and greatly compacted by rains, so mueli so as to prevent the easv penetration of the roots of plants. When subsoil is plowed with the lifting subsoil plow, which Uosens but dees not bring the subsoil to the surface, roots may strike deeply in search of food. The roots of crops afterward decaying in such soils, supply organic matter, thus increasing their tenacity, rendering them less liable to drift, and improving them generally for j the growing of crops. ViNTiLATiox.-In an immigrant ship on ope occasion, during a violent storm, the captain, in order to keep the deck clear and facilitate tho working of the ship, sent the passengers into the hold, ordered the hatches to be fastened down, and kept them in that state all night. In the morning, when the hatches were removed, the hold was found to be full % of dead and dying. A modified form of this state of tbiugs is to be found in many a house in every town?where partial murder is done night after night; and the result is shattered health. The body losses its tone and is reduced to that state in which it falls an easy prey to any infectious disorder, the seeds of which may be floating about in search of a fertile germinating bed. Every man should be made to understand that he , requires not less than 150 or 100 cubic feet of fresh air every hour, and that he should not use over again what h..3 once passed through his lungs, till, like foul water, it i$ cleansed by filtration. People should be taught to fear polluted air mere than draughts ?which would ? amount to a total reversal of the present belief, for we now see a general preferonce for the former. Iu this respect | men might cull a lesson from the bees, wh?, while they heighten the temperature of the hive, do it not at the expense | of healthful condition. Their mode of veulilation is perfect. Oxen* in New York City.?To the intense delight and astonishment ol the "street arabs" and the suiprisc of many other citizens, oxen, yoked in express and business wagons, have been irequcntly seen in the streets of New 1'ork since the horse disease became prevalent. The ' stolid indifference of the oxen, which winked their eyes and chewed their cuds in a solemn manner, and the open mouthed wonder of the city boys who crowded iiimri Employer and Employe. There appears to be a great diversity of opinioH on the question of hired help, ( if the articles, which appear from time to time in the Rural New-Yorker are representative views ; so I will give you j mine. Having an experience on both sides, as a mechanic and farmer, i am < satisfied that there is with each class ( much that needs reform. There are, ( strictly speaking, two divisions of each. ( I will endeavor to describe them as found among my acquaintance. 1st. ' The worthless man, who can never be depended upcn, who renders only eye 1 service and spends what he gets in the , rum shop or the saloon. Fortunately this division is small. 2d. Those who, having no farms of there own, must, for want of traefcs, become farm hands. This division is generally either young men, just earning their first money, or men with families to support. Of the second class I will speak first of that division who are , -3? A. ^.1 tn rrflt rinli lot wllft will UCtUliillUCU IU gV/b a 1WU) ?v? I' ? suffer ; and this class of employers are always complaining of their help. I know men who are always up, ready for the field by sunrise, during the longest days ; take one hour to eat and rest at noon, hurry from the field to supper, , eat in a hurry and back to work till sun- ( set ; and if it is possible to have a load of hay to finish, or some wheat to shock i after that time, so much better. They j pay grudgingly the small sum of ten or twelve York shillings for this day of fifteen hours, i These farmers are often vexed and j worried because their "man don't come" as he agreed to, or won't work without | watching. Another man comes along j ?one who knows what a day's work is, aud how to treat a human being. He \ can always get help, and the very best. , If he is with his hands in the field, they , feel free to rest if tired, and work moves on easily and steadily, no extra haste ; 1 all are cheerful, and at eleven o'clock j comes the call for dinner. Ample time 3 is given to cool the heated system before ] eating ; then the hour's rest, and all ] return to the field cheerful and refreshed ; and often before the.sun had dis- 1 appeared (but never after) he calls out, > " Boys, we've done enough." He pays j those who desire it each evening, and all , feel well .pleased. ! Now, you that complain of your help, 3 tell us if you ever knew a man treated j in this way who was mean enough to j leave his employer with a load of liay out j or a lot of grain down that he wished to j secure?even if it became dark before j completed. When I hear a man always ] complaining of his help, I am just so j foolish as to think he is too mean and { penurious for any man to work for who has spirit and energy enough to make a 1 good farm baud. < How to treat the Hew H rse Disease. The Sanitary Committee of the board ' of Health of New York City presented j the following report at a special session of the Board, and the document was ordered * on file: The Sanitary Committee respectfully rel>ort that in connection with Dr. Liantard, veteiinary surgeon to the Board, they have examined "the new phase" of the epidemic 1 among horses. The diseases spoken of as ' diopsv and glanders are sequelae, or re- ^ suits of the former affection, and resembles ' purpura hemorrhagica or scurvy of the human subject. The blood is so detcrio- ^ rated that it escapes from the vessels into * the cellular tissues under the skin, so as to | cause large ecchymcsis into and through 1 the mucous membranes, giving rise to 1 bloody discharges, and even into the cancellated portions of the bone. The red globules arc in a state o( disintegration, and the serum escaping from the vessels collects under the skin in the most de- 1 pendent portions of the body, causing the appearances known as dropsy. The collections, if bloody, under the skin and the discharges from the nose have been mistaken for the swellings and discharges peculiar to glanders. This destruction of the integrity of the blood seems to be largely due to to the effect of the preceding fever, especially in the case of horses which have previously been poorly fed, over-worked, aud kept in ill-ventilated and filthy stables. Another and powerlul exciting cause is excessive midication during the fovuv ami t.?K> earlv exDOsure to cold, wet. and fatigue, with a poor and unnutritious diet during convalescence. These fatal complications are mostly found in horses which have been sick under the circumstances aoove mcutioued, and rarely in horses which have been carefully kept previous to the attack and well attended during and after the fever. Horses convalescing from this epedenne should lmve a highly nutritious and easily digested diet, To counteract the tendency to scurvy; iron coni|)ouiids are useful, and such foods should be especially selected as are rich in normal saline constituents of the blood and in amylaceous compounds. Such are the various bulbous roots, viz., turnips, carrots, rutabaga, potatoes, &. These tobe readily masticulatcd and digested should be boiled and mixed with bran 01 other mash. Death oe a Valuable House.?Commodore Tanderbilt's famous trotting horse ('Mountain Boy," dice" at his stable in New York* About three weeks ago be began to cough and it was thought at first that lie had contracted the then prevailing horse malady, but as there was no (lis charge from the nostrils the cough \vjl< attributed to a cold, and only the usual remedies forsucb affection were administered. He was valued at over 8100,000 and could not hart beeu bought at any price. The Wheat Crop.?The amoaut of wheat raised in 1872, in the United States, is estimated at two hundred and forty I million bushels. This will give six bushels to cac'u individual of the ] opulation?an amount iu excess of our consumption, which is fivo bushels to each individual per annum. There will then be left forty A Lunatic's Ball. The New York Sun has a description of a ball at the Lunatic -Asylum, Ward'i Island. It says : At precisely 7 o'clock about fortj female lunatics entered the gymnasium They were attired in all sorts of costumes The dresses of some resembled night gowns, while others wore several suits o clothing and looked like travelling old clothes establishments. Some won jockey hats trimmed with ribbons of al the hues of the rainbow ; others imita ted the Dolly Yarden style of dress but all were neat and cleanly, orderl; and very ladylike. A few moments late nearly as many men arrived. The; wore every kind of costume, from tin homely garb of the institution to tin well-cut clothes of a fashionable Broad way tailor. Some of them carried 01 their .persons a wardrobe so large tha it must have taken years to accumulate while others, wearing cotton gloves o all colors, were so thinly habited tha they almost hugged the red-hot stov< in tho corner. Both men and womei were accompanied by their keepers. Soon the physicians entered, escortinj their lady guests. Several of the olde patients crdfcded about them, on thei entrance, and in the politest manne complimented the young ladies on thei improved appearance and requested t< be allowed to escort them to supper cOvmn ctwlfd nf f1>Pir ljififc meefcinc in tbi Hotel de Ville at Paris, others had me on the Continent, one bad seen the lad; with whom he was conversing in a Cali fomia gold mine, and one poor lunati< told Miss Sherman that together tli?j bad swum across the Red Sea, nearl; four hundred years ago. After Dr. Kellogg had spent sonn time in coaxing two very obstinat patients to begin the performance, on< [>f them seated himself at the pian< while the other began tuning a violin The pianist was not very tractable. Hi positively refused to play without hi notes, but whon at length a cunninj lunatic placed a sheet of paper befon bim on which were written the words "Do not spit on the fluor," he suddenb began playing an overture from Strauss The execution was admirable. Tin pianist was Bernard Gallierre, a religi nus monomaniac, who believes that tbi Supreme Being speaks to him ever night, and that he alone, of all hii friends, has conversation daily with the mgels about the throne. Mr. Gluber the violinist, also a good performer, ii subject to fits of melaucholv, and a limes is very dangerous. He irnaginei himself a great military man, auddressei n the fatigue uniform of a Unitec States soldier. The master of ceremonies was Henn Masquer, a Cuban, whose father is i General in the Revolutionary army o: 2uba. Vasqnez is a victim of emotiona nsanity. He killed his mistress abou :hree years ago in .New lorK, and it wa: mid at the time that ?10,000 was paic or his certificate of insanity. He is als( credited with having killed two womer n Cuba, lie dresses elegantly, but ii undoubtedly a man more to be fearet :han pitied. After the dance, a stout old gentle nan entered the room. His hair an< leard were as white as the driven snow lie wore a green patch over one eye lilack kid gloves, seveD coats and vest; were on his back, and he carried i broken umbrella in one hand. In th< itlier hand was an old hat, bedecke< with long black ribbons and filled wit] *rass and weeds. These ho divide< into small portions: and distributed a lioquets to some of the female patients A most polite bow, a gallant speech, am then the presentation, after which he wa introduced to the reporter as Dr. Pent2 and thus addressed him : "Sir, I am wealthy. I own two iniJ lions of land on Blackwell's Island Sir, I am Lord Blackwell. I make yo Lord Selkirk. Ladies (in a loud tone] thi3 is Lord Selkirk. 1 am the Duke c Washington. I knew Lord Selkirk father ut the battle of Piper Heidsiecl Now, sir (in a lower key), I will mak you Earl of Glenarvy, and deputize yo with power extraordinary. Go to Wash ington, sir." Beporter?What shall I say to Ger Grant for yon, doctor ? Dr. Pentz?Tell him he was a grea soldier?so was I, sir?but he never di any good for the people. Tell him thif sir. Tell him the Pake of Washingto: says so, sir, and tell him that he ough to go to Europe and remain there fo eighteen years. While this conversation was going o: Dr. Taylor was trying to induce th musicians to play a waltz. They wer obstinate, and one refused to begin be fore the other. For a time it seeme not improbable that the ball woul prove a failure, but at length Gallierr gave in, and Dr. Taylor waltzed wit] Kitty Doyle, an unfortunate girl afHicte' with hereditary insanity. The next dance was a gallop. Th most extraordinary dancers in it wer Charles Cray, commonly called "Charle; the Tailor," and Miss Carr, a spiritual ist; Charley, who danced as though h was tied up in a sack, imagines that a the ladies are in love with him. Mis Cair thinks she is Queen Elizabeth with immense wealth and valuable dii monds, and her crown and sceptre locke up in New York. The'truth is thi Miss Carr was a lady of surpassing bear ty and attractions, as well as of educt tion, with brilliant conversational pov ere, when she became the petted mistref of a wealthy English nobleman. 0 the continent a Spanish nobleman b< came enamored with her, and the eloped to Cuba. There the Spaniar deserted her, and an American IravelliB agent fell in love with her and took h< to California, where he died. He, o his death-bed, willed her $50,000, whic she spent in one year?one relic onl being left; it is a pawn ticket for loeket set with fcamonds, worth $5CK This and a few silk and satin dresses ! and some laces comprise the oor crea g tares all. She is hopelessly insane. It then being half past eight o'clock, j Dr. Kellogg asked his lunatics to dance a jig before they retired. At this their doll eyes seemed to become bright, the . look of idiocy left them momentarily, f and all jumped upon the floor anxious to . dance. Even the musicians seemed to e catch the inspiration, and they rattled 1 off a lively tune as though the destinies _ of a nation depended on the speed. ( Then the lunatics began to dance. y While dancing the jig some stepped the r Germau, others danced the polka, some y imitated the Shaking Quakere, and Q some even essayed the cancan. Some e seemed bound up with rope?. while others appeared to be double-jointed, j Some danced with the peculiar air of a i. snnthern darkfiv. while ^others skinned with the grace of a gazelle, f At nine o'clock the keeper3 mustered t their patients and marched them back e to the asylum. All were evidently much a pleased and benefitted by the evening's entertainment. ^ A Chapter on Horses. r Mr. Edmund Tattersall, in a communir cation published in BelVs Life in London, r 6ays: " There are 1,600 stallions in Ger0 many, the property of the government. : iuch a country deserves to have good e cavalry. She had them when they were wanted, has got others to take the places y of those lost in war, is still buying in the English market*, and has for twenty years , or more been buying all our best, active, y useful half-bred mares, which nevei?ought y to have been allowed to go out of the country, and would never have gone if we e had a properly managed national stud. There are in Germany and Austria several , large breeding studs of marcs, to which 5 are put horses got by and bred from sur best thoroughbred stallions, such as Breda albane, purchased lor 6,000 guineas, Ostreger fcr 3,000 guineas, &c. From these , studs the stallions are bred which are disg tributed over the country at the service of the farmers and breeders at a mere y nominal price. In Austria the same system is pursued on a still larger scale as to the number of stallions, which in that country, I am informed on good authority, number 4,000, the property of the governy ment. The consequence is that when they want horses for the cavalry or for ; other purposes they can always be found and bought at a reasonable price. Where j could we get 4,000 or 5,000 good horses if., j. wanted suddenly, I will ask, and shall be 3 glad to know, in England? Many will be 3 surprised, I think, to hear?as I must adj mit I was?that a great many more horses are now imported into England than are 7 exported from it, and that one-third, if ; not one-half, of the London job horses are ? foreigners. The number of horses bred in j England and Ireland, I believe, is dccreask ing, while the price is gradually rising in g au alarming ratio for the buyers. I am j told that theie is a tax ou all marcs sent 5 out of Germany. Why should not a tax t be put on all mares to be exported frem j England?" * Information about any Railroad Bonds can be obtained if you write to Charles . W. Hassler, No. 7 Wall St., N. Y.
