Science Instead ef Manure.
Prof. Stockbridge, of the Massachusetts
agricultural college, has laid down
his formulas for growing wheat, com
and potatoes, all the results of chemical
investigations into the nature of those
different plants, and all verified bj ac*
tual experiments.
Prof. Stockbridge's formula for potatoes
is as follows: To produce one hundred
bushels of potatoes per acre without
any manure, and their natural proportion
of tops, more than the natural
yield of the land, and in like proportions
for other quantities, apply twentyODe
pounds nitrogen, thirty-four pounds
actual potash, eleven pounds soluble
phosphoric acid, obtained from four hundred
to five hundred pounds of crude
materials; cost, $12.
The formula for Indian corn, which
will increase the natural production of
an acre fifty bushels, is sixty-four
pounds nitrogen, seventy-seven pounds
actual potash, thiity-ono pounds soluble
phosphoric acid, obtained from seven
hundred to one thousand pounds crude
materials, and costing abont $25.
his formula for wheat, which is calculated
to give a yield of twentv-five
bushels per acre beyond the natural production,
is forty-one pounds nitrogen,
twenty-four pounds potash, and twenty
pounds phosphoric acid, obtained from
four hundred and fifty to six hundred
pounds crude materials, according to
* p grades, and costing about $15.

- Wind Galls.
M. D. S. ask8 what will cure a wind
gall on a horse's hind leg, just above the
fetlock joint. The horse has been very
lame with it two and a half months, so
that he could not be used at all; it is
quite large and swollen. I at first
blistered, bat was told that was wrong ;
have since used tannin and other
, " astringents.
Reply.?Wind galls are only a symp.
torn of inflammation of the membrane
which covers the sinews of the leg, in
consequence of which there is an excessive
secretion of serum that gathers in
the tumors. The only probably effective
treatment is absolute rest, and the application
of cold water bandages with pressure
upon the parts, or the use of iodine
ointment. Cure is questionable in any
case, although the lameness may be removed
; but when the horse is worked
again the swellings will reappear. They
are caused by strains or overwork, or
are inherited.?New York Times.

Artificial Batter.
For making this the finest kind ol
beef fat is used. It is placed in oold
water over night, then chopped fine and
placed in a vat surrounded by steam at a
temperature of 125 deg., Fahrenheit.
The solid deposit is rejected, the oilj
portion is cooled, packed in bags, and
pressed between sheets of zinc at a
temperature at from eighty deg. tc
ninety deg. until all the oil is extracted
from the tallow, which remains solid ii
the bags. The oil is then churned with
sweet milk for half an hour, and thei
manipulated precisely like fresh buttei
made from cows' milk. The best buttei
(100 parts) contains, according to a
analysis by Dr. Thompson, of water,
12.79; of butter oil, 86.27; of curd, 0.94
This artificial butter contains of watei
8,5; of fatty matter, 85.4; of salt, 5.5
and of curd, 0.6. It is in use in severs
of the hotels in New York city.

8XXATX.
Mr. BontweU (Rep.), of Massachusetts, introduced
a resolution, which was adopted, as
follows:
Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury
be requested to furnish for tho information of
t!> j Senate the annual product of gold' and
Stiver in the Unite 1 States from 1845 to 1875,
inclusive; also, the amouut of gold and silver
in otb jr parts of the world for the same years,
and an estimate of the gold and silver in the
United States at the present time.
Mr. Withers (Dem), of Virginia, from the
committee on appropriations, reported House
bill No. 2,589, to supply the deficiency for
feeding the Sioux Indians. He moved to
stiike out the words ' $100,000'' and insert
4i $150,000.'' Agreed to, and the bill pa-sed.
On motion of Mr. Allison (Rep.), of Iowa,
the Senate took up for consideration Senate
bill 590, providing for an agreement with the
Sioux nation in regard to a portion of their
reservation and for other purposes. The bill
was briefly discussed by Mr. Hitchcock (Rep.),
of Nebraska, who said he was opposed to any
further appropriation for these Indians or for
other commissions. There was one man out
there now Gen. Geo. H. Crooko, who was as
able to make any agreement with theee Indians
as any commission that could be sent out to
them. No action was taken.
The Chair laid b6forothe Senate the military
bill from the House with the notification that
TTnnoo fail tr\ nnnftnr in th? lmonHmAnta nf

the amendment 8 and aeked a committee cf conference,
and 8euatcns Sat gent, Cockrell, and

The bill appropriates $161,000, and directs tti<
secretary of the treasury to issue silver c nn ii
the redemption of all the fractional currency
outstanding. Mr. Randall (Dem.), of Penn'
sylvania, chairman of the appropriation com
mit tee. explained and advocated the bill Hi
said there was no question as to the absoluti
necessity for the appropriation for reprinting
mutilated and worn greenback currency. Thi
substitution of silver for fractional currency
had been reported by the committee as i
measure of economy. On the latter point hi
sent to tbo clerk's desk and had read an argu
ment prepared by Mr. Wells, of Missouri, i
member of the committee, but who was nn
avoidably absent. The estimate in this pape;
is that $30,000,000 in silver coin will furnisl
all the small currency needed, and allow one
third of the amount to be hoarded withou
causing scarcity. It estimates the annual cos
' o/ printing fractional correnoy at over five pe
j cent, of the amount in circulation, and givei
; the figures of such cost at $1,411,746. Consid
erable discussion fol owed for and against th<
resolution.

LEGENDS OF THE HUDSON.
The Sio.yoi the Flyntflr Dutchman and the {
Headless HsrseBian.
The Tappan sea, before "Sunnyside,"
on the Hudson river, has its le- j
gends. One of these is a match for !
that of the phantom ship of the South
Atlantic. A thousand tailors have de- I
clared that they have seen that ship and
its master -when pas ing the cape of,
Good Hope. The story is that a plucky
Dutch captain, having loDg breasted
headwinds, swore a fearful oath that he
would beat around the cape if it took
htm until the day of judgment. He has
been beating ever since?a phantom
known as the Flying Dutchman. Rambout
Van Dam, a roistering young
Dutchman of Spuytden Duyvel, crossed
the TaDDau sea on Saturdav nicrht in his
* & f M
boat to attend a quilting frolic on its
western shore. He drank, danct d, and
caroused until midnight, when he entered
his boat to return. He was warned
that it was on the verge of Sunday
morning. He swore a fearful oath that
he would not land until he reached
Spuyt den Duvvel, if it took him a
month of Sundays. He pushed from
shore, and was never seen afterward;
but he might be heard by sailors and
believing landsmen plying his oars over
the lonely waters at midnight in never
ending voyages between Spuyt den Duyvel
and. the western shore?the Flying
Dutchman of the Tappan sea.
Beyond the broad grassy bay just
above Tarry town, where was once deep
water for the anchorage of large vessels,
may be seen Castle Philipse, and a little
further on, a quaint looking building
of stone and brick, with a small cupola,
close by a cemetery. This is the famous
Sleepy Hollow chnrch that
figures in Irving's legend. It was built
in 1699 by Frederick Phil ipse, the first
lord of the manor, and Catharine Van
Courtlandt, in commemoration of their
marriage. In it, aocording to the
legend, Iohabod Crane, the Connecticut
schoolmaster, led the singers of psalmody
on the Sabbath ; and near it flows
the placid Pocanteco, at the bridge over
which, by the church, Ichabod had his
direful encounter with the goblin known
as the t% Headless Horseman of Sleepy
Hollow." The legend is too well known
to need full repetition here. Suffice it
to say that Ichabod loved Katrina Va
Tassel, and so did Brom Bones, a stout
young Dutchman. Ichabod lingered
one night at the breaking up of a party
at Van Tassel's to say a soft word or two
to Katrina, and then mounted his lean
horse, Gunp wder, and departed for
home. Near the bridge he discovered
a horseman just behind him, who carried
his head on the pommel of his saddin.
Inhnbod snnrred on. and when ho
bad crossed the bridge, and thong ht
himself safe, he looked back to see the
goblin vanish. At that moment the
specter rose in the saddle and threw his
head at Ichabod. In another moment
the sqkpolmaster lay sprawling in the
dust, and Gnnpowder, pursuer, and the
dreadful missile all passed like a whirlwind.
A broken pumpkin was found at
the spot the next morning. Shrewd
people guessed that Brom was the
"headless horseman " on that occasion.
Ichabod was never heard of afterward,
and Brom married Katrina.

Poor Organs.
| The following from the New York
Christian Advocate, written by its edi1
tor-in-chief, 'Dr. Ourrie, some years
since, is yet more true to-day than
' when it was written; as the popularity
| of the instrument has extended, the
> number of incompetent makers has increased.
There are now few articles in
reference to which the public is more
i deceived and imposed upon than in
i parlor or cottage organs. This is attest'
ed by the thousands of such instrur
ments now standing utterly useless, all
j over the country, which are but a few
i months or years old :
7 fuptvitt or Parlor Oroans.?As
* usual in such cases, the new and large
" demand for these instruments has in}
duoed a great number of persons to enl
gage in their manufacture, some of
* whom are quite unequal to the business
f they have undertaken. It requires
J something more than the mechanical
. skill of the artificer in wood and iron to
\ make and prepare for use a musical in
strument; and yet some have evidently
r brought nothing else to their aid in the
I business. The result is that the country
t is becoming filled with inferior and det
fective instruments. Large sums of
r money are expended for valueless ar?
tieles, and the people are defrauded of
I their needed mu-ical education. The
evil is intensified by the fact that these
s inferior instruments are, on account of
their inferiority, most industriously
j urged upon the public. Because they
j cannot compete with better ones in the
a open market, they are pressed upon the
- public by direct solisitations; and bc9
cause they offer larger commissions,
^ they are those most commonly offered
. by agents and hawked by peddlers.
3 And as most purchasers arc unable to
r jndge of the relative merits of these
3 things, the inferior articles are often
* bought when better ones are desired,
i and would be cheerfully paid for.
Induced by these considerations, we
5 have been at some pains to ascertain
I what instrument of the many now soI
liciting the public favor combines the
3 greatest amount of real excellencies. We
i have prosecuted this inquiiy entirely
- independently of aid or direction from
interested parties. The opinions of
. some of the best musical critics, composers,
and performers have been oba
tained; reports of experiments made in
* the ordinary U9e of various instruments
in churches, schools, and families have
Q "been compared, all of which with singuo
lar unanimity concur in assigning the
r first place to the Cabinet Organ of

A Chinaman on tho passage to California
jumped overboard, intending to kill
himself, but in some unaccountable
manner was lodged in the wbeelhouse of
the steamer, where he clung tenaciously,
although tho utmost exertion was necessa.v
to escape the death which he had
sought. He was nearly dead when discovered.
Upon being restored he cut
his throat effectually.
Chapped hands, face, pimpies, ring
worm, Kaltrhenm. and other on tan eons afTcc
tioQH cared, and rongh skin made sort ana
smooth, by using Junipeb Tab Soap. Be carofal

made with common tar, all of which are worthless.?Conk

Dr. SCHENL'K'8 STANDARD REMEDIES
The standard remedies for all diseases of the longs are
Schzxcx's PtrLMomc Syrup, Schzhcx's 8ea Wexd
Tokic, and Schjchck's Mardrakx Pills, and, if taken
before the longs are destroyed, a speedy core is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Sohenck, of Philadelphia,
owes his on rivaled (access In the treatment of
pulmonary disease*.
in* ruoiuuic o/ruy n^ui uio uiuiuiu ommoi ui iu?
lungs ; nature throws It off by an May expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter la ripe a alight cough will
throw It off; the patient nae rest and the lungs begin to
heaL
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's 8m Weed Tonic must be
freely used to oleanM the stomach and ltvar. Scbeack's
Mandrake hills act on the liver, removing all obstructions,
relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonlo Is a gentle stimulant and
alterative; the alkali of whtoh It is composed mixes
with the food and prevents souring. It ssslsts the digestion
by tonlng.up the stomach to a healthy condition, to
that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the luDgs heal, and the patient will surely
get well if care Is taken to prevent frith oold.
11 who wish to oonsolt Dr. Bcbenok, either personally
or by letter, can do to at his prioctpal office, comer of
Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenck't medicines are told by all druggists throughout
the country.
