FARM AND GARDEN* NOTES. Give water to chicks from the start. To fatten poultry for , market give plenty of wheat and cracked corn. Drinking water for the fowls in winter should be tepid, not cold, and always fresh and cleau. A chicSc . should weigh a pound when five weeks old. The average is a pound at six weeks old. Milk may be given to the chiekeas but shouiabe fresh and the residuum carefully removed, but do not substitute it fo? water. ~ ??< Feed very early in the morning as soon as the chicks come out o? the brooder*. Kever keep them waiting for breakfast. After the iirst wee's any kind of fool, such as washed potatoes cooke 1 tur nips, crumbled broad of an^^isl, or auy wholesome food,willbeof ailvaatage to chiefs. It is the casern left in the butter that causes it to fcpur and 3poil. Re.ajve all of the casein and; pure batter will keep sweet and fresh uwjgfiaitely if pr;> tected fro ax the air. ? The cow that the faraiex waucs is oa3 that will yield hira a good proSs mth ordinary care. He has no disposition to put acW to bed and tuck her iu, or to feed her on gruel. Choice beef cattle that are considerably ! above the average quality can always | be sold at a very goo^ price a short | time before the holidays. Bat they must bo in prime condition. The man who complains that h;.3 c&Xs are unruly can be safely set down as a poor farmerT and very often he is a cruel one, wao deserves punishment. Most unruly cows are made so by hunger. Ooe goo J and effectuil re nedy to re move warts froai a cow a teats is to wait until she is dry,, tbem wash tae.n thor oughly with a solution of sal am njniac and camphor; before she becones fresh they will have entirely disappeared. When ten days old the rolled oats may be omitted and wheat one day and | clacked corn the next may be used. Be : gia to ^each chicks to eat wheat aal t cracked^cora early by sprinkling a little on the fl$>or (about atablespooaful daily) i after they arc a week old. Barrels of fruit, well carted, 3hould ! be placed on the side and not stool oa | end, for the jolting of the wagoa tea Is T to settle the fruit and mike it loose in i the barrels. The more carefully the I fruit Ls sorted and honc3tly pic eel the i greater will be the proiit. Red cloveV and orchard grass ripea about the siaic time, timothy ripening I about three weeks later. As clover an 1 timothy do not ripea together, it will be l* worthy of an experiment to U3e orchard grass and clover oa some soils. Timothy | anJcplover give the largest yield, how ! ever, a^d will be asel i^preferenc-j by | the majority for that reason, though the j two kinds (clover aadffSothy) would be ; more suitable if ripening at the same j timu^ i ? 1 An EaajR-ror's Interest ia Electricity.

Martin Van Baren, our eighth Presi dent, was bora at Kinderaook, Coluao bv4~County, N. Y. His family were among the early Dutch settlers, bat not amo^g the most fortunate, foi both -Mar ti^ father and grandfather5 were small farmers in very humble circumstance;, fie obtained some education at the vil lage school, and at tho age of fourteen began the study of law, and whan oolj eighteen he represented the Republicans in the Congressional convention of bis district. He begun the practice of lavt in his twenty-first year, and married Miss Hannah Hoes in hi* twenty-third. Two years after he had his first party re ward from the Republicans, an 1 wa' made Surrogate of Columbia County in 1808. In 1815 he wa3 Attorney-Gen eral of the Slate. Ho took up his resi- j dence in Albany, and went into partner ship with his pupil, Benjamin F. Butler, lu the great question of the time, itae admission of Wisconsin into the Union, Mr. Van Buren was one of the projmi neat men who insisted ^paost warmly oo the prohibition of slavery. In 1S21I h<5 was elected to th^ Unit<M State? Senate, and re-elccted in 182T. SXbe following year he was made G<||prnor of 3few York, and the very next year he was called by Andre v Jackson to be Secre tary of State. When Jackson retired, Van Buten succeeded him in the Presi dential chair. This Presidency began March 4, 1837. In the elections of 1840 and 1811 he was defeated as the candi date for his party. In ISIS he appeared again as the candidate of the Free Soil party, but did not receive the electoral vote of a single State. After this his life wa3 spent in travel and retirement. He died on the 21th of July, 1SG2. His character was remarkable for its serenity. The masses accepted him as a leader, but never worshiped him as a hero; nor did he ev.er inspire the enthusiasm than An drew Jackson did. As you saw hin once he was always seen J? polite, self possessed, dressing well, lrfrlng well, and having a fondness for the society of lit erary men. ? Detroit Free Press, Yucatan's Deadly Spider. f . , A sailor on a coasting vessel" which plies between Galvfeston, Texas, and ports on the Gulf lias some very intereking tpecimens which he secured while on the coast of Yucatan. Among them is a large jar filled with enormous spiders, which he says are looked upon with greatest fear by the Indians of the central portion of that country,- and whichf'arc undoubtedly the largest ever seen. The body of the spider is fully five inches in diameter and the legs are short and thick, being especially adapted to running and climbing. They are about two-inchcs long and as big around as an ordinary led pencil. The animal is of a grayish brown color, but is most pecu liarly marked by deep red bands which body, extending clear around -diagonally shoulder to hip, cross ing each other al the middle of the back and the centre of the belly. The head ts so large that the details can readily be seen, and even the dead ones had such a ferocious aspect that they caused a feeling of fear. The color ing is peculiarly adapted to the country, for the body is like the earth, while the red bands are like many of the creeping vines which abound among the rocks of the interior. ' The fierceness of the insect and the marking on the back have induced the Indians to name it the "Devils Soldier,'' and they say that it is undoubtedly the worst foe to man in that whole country, making it almost impossible for any one to go into the interior, for it abounds in such numbers that no place is free from it and its bite is certain death. Only one instance is known to Indians where a man has been bitten and did not die, and this matf-was wildly insane; ever afterward. The spider makes its home among the rocks, and when anything approaches it rushes boldly out and makes an attack so fiercely that it is al most impossible to escape it. It runs with great rapidity and cljmb3 sticks and trees as easily as if it was on the ground. 10,030 Miles in Searc'i of a Car. Qpe of the best job3 ia car tiuciag evei done ia thfe country was complete J about three wetks a_rr^by a car tracer of the New York Central. That roal had lost a C:?r, aid sent out the tracer to look it up. He followed it West to Pittsburg, then to Cincinnati, then to Chicago, and from there to St. Louis. Here he lost track of it, but after some searca fouad it had been in an accident and hadi been repainted. By somevoversight thejnum ber had been changed, but taking the ' new number. he chased the car fcc Kansas City, where he found it had been loaded and sent on to Galveston. To G-ilteston he went, and th^re found that, after tak ing a fresh load, the car ha l gone to San Francisco. He went after it^ but on reaching San Francisco found* tlie car had gone back to Galveston. By this time his blood was up, and be made up his mind to tiad that car if it took the balance of his natur.il lift;. So he went back to Galveston, and, to make a long story short, followed tint car to .New Orleans, to Mobile, to Atladta, to half a dozen places in Florida, then back to New Orleans, to Galveston ag'iia, and thence to Kansas City, and from thereto Chicago. He ha 1 now be:u on thq hunt for over three m-n^h?, b it had got so close to the runaway that just as he came into Chicago by one roil the car left it over another oft its way to BjfTiIo. Its load was consigned to that point, and when he ascertaine \ t'le fact he tele graphed ou to nave the car held, and took the next train for the E.isU At Buffalo he came u;> with the car and caught his firit sight of it. Ho had traveled almost constantly for over thir teen weeks, traversing a dlstiace of 10, 000 or 12,00 > miles. ? Si. T/vxii O 'uPjt DtmocrcU. The S'u>e Yiulfn. A Paris newspaper recently annotated the saie of oue of the most curioul vio lins in the world. It formerly belonged to Pagaiiini, the ?reat violinist, and at first sight merely presents the appear ance of a misshapm woo'iea shot'. Its history is curious, and not without in terest. During the winter -cf 1S3S Paganini was living n Kue de la Victoria. Ooe/f dav a iarjje box was brought there b i ? j ? f i the Normandy dtligeace, or. opening ! which he found two inner boxes^ adp, I wrapped carefully ia the foJds of tissue j ] aper, a, wooden shoe and a letter, ? grating that the writer, having ! hear! ; much of the wonderful genius fcT the violinist, begged, as n proof of his de- j , votion to music, that P:t^airini would n!ay in public on the oddly constructed > instrument inclosed. At first Paganini felt, this to be an im pertinent satire, and mentioned the facts, with some show of temper, to his friend, the Chevalier de Baride. The latter took the shoe to a violin maker,, who converted it into a remarkably: sweet toned instrument, and. Paganiii was ' pressed to try the shoe violin ia pa.:> ; lic- * L He not only di<T so, bufc performed upor it some of hi? r^ost difficult) fanta sia'. which, facts, ia the handwriting violinist, are no* recordedvoq tap itself*. ?
