F4.lt*, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Uinta about Work.
It is proper to commence this chapter
of hints with weeds. In our walks over
forms in different localities, we see weeds
are everywhere, in the cornfields,
amongst the potatoes, in the stubbles
and the youngj clover, and with ripe, or
rapidly ripening seeds. Some good
farmers keep them out of their crops,
but around the fenoes and in odd corners
there are thrifty patches full of seed.
At a gathering of farmers last month,
some of them complained to us that the
weeds werakuining their farms. In the
very field where we stood?a summer
fallow too 1?the weeds wore in full
bloom, and if mowed, would have made
a ton to the acre. Ox-eyo daisy, snapdragon,
wild radish, thistles, rag weed,
pig weed, amaranths, and a score of
bucu common, bat pestiferous plants,
covered the flold so that the plow could
not wholly bury them. When this
summer fallow was plowod, the field was
seeded for a whole lifetime. Twenty
years' labor cannot wholly clear it, and
yet the man who owned the farm complained
that the weeds wore raining him.
There is one remedy for weeds, which is
thoroughly effective, and that is cutting
them wherever found in odd places, before
they blossom, and clean cultivation
in the fields.
It is the same with insects as with
weeds, l^aetles, bugs, catterpillars, and
insects of all Borts in all their forms, i
There must be constant warfare against
them, and they must bo killed by every
means in our power. But a farmer must
keep his eyes open, or he will fail to see
the enen^y until too late. The tent
catterpillars sometimes clear every leaf
from an orchard boforo the owner notices
their unsightly nests upon the trees.
Study the habits of tho posts, and look
out for them. Insects and weeds rob
fanners of lialf their profits, half thoir
rest, and doable their work. United
and constant efforts ore needed to get rid
of them, but after every year of offort,
tlio work will bo lighter.
Grain in tho granary is safe if the
granary is a secure one. Thrash as sOou
us possible, whether the grain be sold or
not. Some think it will pay to hold
groin another year. That may be woll
for those who can afford it, but if one is
in debt and borrowing money to hold
grain, it is well to think twice and count
up the cost in interest. To pay interest
on a debt and lose interest on money in
bank, or idle (and grain is money), is
simply paying double interest.
The oat stnbble should be plowed as
soon as the crop is harvested, so as to
start the shelled grain into growth. No
more plowing iB needed. Keep the surface
cultivated or harrowed. This will |
kill thousands of weeds from newly
dropped seed. By keeping the surface
mellow, the bottom is kept from becoming
too dry and hard.
If lime is spread upon an oat stubble
which is t? be sown to wheat, and clover
in the spring, it should not be draws
from the kiln until the ground is plowed,
when it can be dropped at onoo on the
field in heaps of one bushel two rods
apart each wry. This will give exactly
forty bushsls per acre, which is a very
fair dressing. The first shower will slake
the lime and cause it to fall into a fine
powder, when it may be spread evenly
in a square, one rod each way from the
heap, with a long-handled shovel. This
is by far the easiest way of handling
lime. ?Affrtcullurist.
Fitting for the Fair.
It is well for far me. s to hear in miml
the regulations of the approaching fair.
Bat a little more tifne remains in which
entries may be mode. It would be well
if persons intending to exhibit should
give immediate attention to their entries,
thus giving more full opportunity
to correct errors, if any be made, as well as
relieving the office of secretary of that i
excessive strain which usually falls upon
the last few days when the dilatory ones
make a rush.
Whether the show will be full and interesting
or not depends entirely upon
the number and character of tho entries.
And these depend more upon the spirit
of the residents in tho near counties
than upon distant portions of the State.
There is already gratifying evidence that
the fair will bo very full. Many of the
crops are of superior excellence. Never
were finer sights of barley and oat-fields
seen than are now advancing to the harvest.
Wheat, although not promising a
great yield, is likely to be very fine in quality.
In fact the year bida fair to be a prosperous
one for farmers, who will do well
to make exhibition of the products of
their skill and industry, that they may
excite to greater exoeuence. We have
no doubt that in the department of
crrama fKn oKaw ?ill ? * "
0? ouun ntu uo very riCII. it |
-will afford excellent opportunity for inspecting
seeds and deciding upon the
kinds to be used next year. There is at
every fair a considerable business in the
way of such selections and soles. We
hope farmers will give careful attention
to the exhibition of grains, not waiting
for the decision of the judges, who base
their awards on general excellence,
while the pareful and observing farmer
may find in an article which the committees
are compelled to pass without a
premium, the special roquiremements
for their use. The good farmer who attends
the fair for the profit will use liis
own judgment in all these matters, und
he will surely find his profit.
We do not care to enumerato the ways
in which the fair may be made useful.
Booh a work would require more time
and space thafi we can give. And after
all it would be of no use to those who
have not the spirit to enter into tho show
with the purpose of extracting good
from it, or more liberal, with a further
design of adding to its exocllonoe.

Pew farmore know exactly what they
sell, and a platform aoale is, we regret to
say, a rare pieoe of barn furniture. A
rery important tiling, and one which
few farmers know exactly, is the quantity
they feed to their stock, and howI
much a bushel of grain, a ton of hay, a
quart of milk, a pound of batter, or a
pound of pork costs them. A knowledge
of these things is necessary if the farmer
would make his business profitable, and
unless he weighs, measures and keens
account of ereanrthing used upon or sold
from the farm, ne cannot tell whether he
is working at a profit ?X a loss.
HORRORS OF A TEXAS PRISON.
J
Ca.pt. Kuaary'a Report-?The PunUhmentn
f the .Middle Ace* Imltnted?The .Solitary
Cell and the " lie rue.''
About a year ago, says a Washington
dispatch, a peremptory order was issued
by Chief Clerk Crosby, acting secretary
of war, for the immediate removal of one
hundred and siitoen military prisoners
from the Stato penitentiary at Huntsville,
Texas, to Fort Leavenworth. Exposures
of the management of the Texas
penitentiary gave rise to a report that
this removal was caused by cruel and
barbarous treatment of convicts at that
place. Inquiry at tho war department
has confirmed that report. Lost year,
in April, an inspection of the penitentiary
was made by Capt. C. D.
Emoiy, acting judge advocate on Gen.
Angur's staff. He found tho ventilation
of the cells very bad, and the food insufficient
in quantity and deficient in
variety.
Tho most striking part of his report
relates to the punishments rosorted to
for enforcing obedience. Three of them
are described at length?the dark ooll,
tho "stocks," and the "horse." The
dark oell is a low, dark, oven-like inclosure,
barely high enough to allow the
convict to sit eroct on the floor, and with
HO nnoninnr for linrV?f r*v oiv
0 <ui ,
grated floor. The "stocks" are made
by cutting three holes iu a board, stand- 1
ing on its edge, and fastened between ^
two stakes. Tho central holo receives 1
the neck of the convict, and those on ]
each side his wrists. After the man has
been placed in the stocks, it is customary
to raiso the board so as to bring; the convict
upon his toes, leaving it so. In
raising it it would often bo jerked up
with such force as to endanger the
prisoner's neck. Convicts wore often
left in the stook nutil they bocamo insensible.
The " horse " surpassed tho
others, and was comparatively a new invention.
It was introduced about nine
months before Capt. Emory's visit. It
consists of a post six or eight feet liigh.
About four feet from tho ground there
was driven into it a peg of iron or wood
an inch in diameter and a foot or two
long. Refractory oonvicts wero placed
astride of this peg with their backs toward
the post. Their hands were tied
behind them to the post and their feet
the same, so that they could not change
their position or obtain any relief whatever.
Tho effects of this punishment
wero horriblo. Capt. Emory examined
one man who had been permanently
ruptured while "riding tho horse," and
others who were suffering aonto disease
produced by the same cause.
More than six hundred of the oonvicts
wore employed by railroad contractors
and on plantations belonging to the lessees
of tho ponitentiory and others at
the time of Capt. Emory's visit. Their
treatment was generally cruel. They
wore overworked, and if they either
died within a few months or broke down
their places had to be filled by fresh '
? : - ?ai- * >
5<>u^n. AUU^ WOIO AUfiUlUUlOUblJ ciaa,
and wore obliged to work at shoveling in
the winter, sometimes with only one
shoo, sometimes with no Bhoos at all.
Their food was cooked in Houston and
transported to them in open cars, and
much of it was spoiled before it reached
them. Finally they wfcro punished by
means of the " horse " and by whipping.
Convicts who had returned from two
or three months of servioe on the railroad
were examined by Capt. Emory,
and their condition found to be horrible.
It is not fit to be described. But any
doubt as to the inhumanity of their
treatment would be dispelled by an examination
of the mortality records.
These show that twenty-eight deaths occurred
in tho institution within nine
months prior to Capt. Emory's visit In
twenty-three cases the disease of which
tUey died was contracted while they wore
at work on the railroads. No reoord of
those who died in the railroad camps
were accessible.
Tho lessees of the institution were
Ward, Dewey & Co., and they were responsible
for this horrible cruelty. The
penitentiary was leased before the present
State administration came into
nnnmr an/1 nna nf Incoaco
collector of customs of the port of Galveston.
When the order for the removal
of the military prisoners was issued,
efforts were made to induce the war department
to countermand its ordors. The
United States military prisoners were,
however, at once removed to a place
where they are treated with some degree
of humanity. In spite of the rebuke
thus given to the lessees, there is reason
to believe that the management of tho
penitentiary has not yet been reformed,
and at least a thousand convicts there
are still habitually subjected to the
cruelties described.
A War Sausage.
M. Gravel has obtained the monopoly
of manufacture for Franoe of a new kind
of sausage?the saucisson Gravel. This
singular addition to the commissorot has
been adopted for the army by the ministry
Of War. and lOft.OOft hnvn Roan n?- .
dered for the occasion of the autumn {
maneuvers, when they will, for the first j
time, come into use. Various experi- .
ments have been made with these sausages;
specimens have been exposed to the |
influence of the weather for several
weeks, and others have been sent to '
Buenos Ayres and back without the 1
least injury in either caso. According
to the Cologne Gazette, not only has M. t
Gravel entered into communication with <
Madrid with a view to supplying the ]
Spanish army, but the English govern- r
meat has conclude d an arrangement with j
him for the East Indies. Tno sausages .
are made of- meat, beans, peas and lentils.
The bladders or skins are prepared
in Btuttgart, but the socret of the
inventor lies in tho manner of packing '
or closing tho sausage. (
It Makes a Difference.
When a Detroit husband went home (
the other night and handed his wife a (
gold locket she reached her arms around ,
him and exclaimed : (
" Oh ! yon dear old pippin I there
was never another man like you 1"
Next day he went home and found
her getting ready to go on an excursion, '
and ne put his foot down and told her te 1
remain at home. She threw her bonnet 1
on the floor, kicked over a chair, and re- 1
marked: i
"Mother always uaid I'd marry the t
meanest man in Michigan." t

A Massachusetts Horror.
Frederick F. Towne, of Petersham.
Mass., a well-to-do farmer, disappeared,
and his brotlier-in-law, S. J. Frost, said
that he had gone to California, and that,
though he left quiie unexpectedly to his
friends, he (Frost) had known of his intentions
for some time; also that Towne
had left his property in his (Frost's) care.
This story was readily believod by most
of the townspeople, though some who
had heard of a fierce quarrel between
Towne and Frost had suspicions that all
was not right, and that the missing man
was the victim of foul play. Thus matters
went along for nearly a month. The*
suspicions entertained against Frost
wero lulled, except in tho minds of a
few, though his actions have been regarded
as singular in somo respects. A
few days ago, a neighbor having some
business at tlint place went during the
absence of Frost to tho bnrn,and seeing
the gravel appeared fresh took a crowbar
and pierced tho oorth some distance,
and on examination a few human hairs
and bits of clothing wero discovered.
Keeping tho matter quiet, exoept to one
or two trusted parties, a watch was set
upon the movements of Frost, when he
was almost detected in the act of moving
the dissevered portions of the body.
Thereupon tho party surrounded the
house, and the selectmen of the town
and Sheriff JJothwell, of Borre, were
sent lor. Upon the arrival of tho authorities
a deAand for admittance to the
house was made, and Mrs. Frost admitted
them. The house was searched
and Frost was found hidden behind an
old-fashioned loom under the roof in the
attic. He made no resistance, but asked
the protection of the officers, as he
foarcd violence from the people. He
was token to Barre for safe keeping. A
coroner was notified of the affair, and
immediately took measures to find tho
otner portions of the body, and to hold
an inquest. The upper portion of the
tmnk of the body, including the head,
arms and chest, was found in a sock
buried in a cornfield near where the
other sack was buried. The legs have
not been found. At the inquest Mrs.
Frost, wife of the supposed murderer
and sister of the murdered man, gave
her testimony, which strongly implicated
the accused, and he was fully committed
bo await the action of the grand jury.
All, Lost.?A flock of one thousand
two hundred sheep were destroyed
through a strange accident rec<^itly,
near the San Jose mission, Californio.
rhe flock were passing along the edge
nf a steep precipice whon tho leader lost
his footing and fell ovor the deolivity.
The rest of the sheep, possibly supposing
this was in the usual way of business,
jumped ono by one after their
leader and wero killed on the rocks
below.
A Hard Set.
A Vermont paper tells this story: In
a Sunday-school, on a recent Sunday, a
young man?we won't call his name, as |
he is unusually modest ?made his appearanoe,
probably the first time for
years that he had been in suoh a place, I
and was invited by one of the teachers, a
deacon, to take a seat with his class. In
the course of the lessou the question !
came up: " Who were the Sadducees *"
No one in the class answered it, and
finally the teacher turned to our friend
and said: "Brother, can't you tell us J
who the Sadducees were? Well, we j
suppose no question could be asked by i
mortal lips nut what the individual re- ]
ferred to would have some answer ready. 1
This, however, was a poser, as his acquaintance
with Scripture pcrsonagos is ;
not very extensive. However, after a 1
moment's thought, he replied: "I don't
exactly know, but so far as I can recol- <
lect they were a hard set of ducks." Tlio |
good ctoaoon pondered a moment, and | 1
then clntohing the meaning of tho slang
Eh rase, ropliod: "Yos, brother, I beovo
