AGRICULTURB.
FDDING Flt Euos.-liens are the
A most valuable stock on the farm. They
require little care. and yield large di
vidends. The writer has kept three
horsee, one cow, a brood of turkeys,
and about 125 hens during the present
winter, and he thinks the lens have
paid the whole bill without pttempt
Ing to obtain the best retail prices.
The eggs were sold at wholesale-the
buyer making a prolt of ten cpnts
per dozen. Perhaps.1 may add a word
whicth cther writers omit.- First, kill
In the Fall nearly everything but ear
Iy tipring ullets4 these can be made to
lay a'I Winter. 'I'he bder the hen the
fewer the eggs. Second, warm the
food, for the first meal especially. Let
there be a variety of food-buckwheat
and wheat screenings are the best
grains: corn and oats come next. The
best aniMal food in my experience is a
beef's head. They will consume every
thing except the eyes. It costs tweu
ty ive cents and will last a week. When
they have eaten the outside meat crack
it open for the brains: next split in two
and with an axe pound up a portion of
the bone daily Next, stop and listen
-hear them sing, and see them run
for the nest. A beet's head ia mere
profitable than lard scraps, as the lat
ter has been pressed until the substance
is nearly gone. Keep an iron pot near
the kitehen into which order all the
#craps from dimingroom. This usual
ly goes to the pig; hereafter let it go
to the Braimai towaid evening. Buy
your pork if you think it Is Lit to eat.
BsT VAnRi IRS OF WHEAT.-At a
recent mee*,ing of millers in Cicin
nati, the comparative value of the difi
erent kinds of wheat for fdouring pur
poses was considered. It was found
difficult to decide which should be de
Oared best, on account of the modify
ing influences of climate and soil in a
territory measured by 23 deg. of lati
tude and 57 deg. of longitude, an area
of three and a quarter millions of
square miles. It was declared that the
same varieties growing In different
States differ materially in milling val
ue; that the Fife of Northern Min.eso
ta and Dakota 1s far superior to the
same kind grown in Lower Illinois and
Wisconsin ; that the Iappahannock oi
Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee, Is
much richer in gluten than the same
grown north of the Ohio River.
Still the comittee venture Ito recom
mend for milling purposess the follow
Ing winter varieties: "Longberry
Amber," Lancaster, Indluana Red,
Alabama Orange, Velvet Chaff, Xtp
pabannock and Jenninga. Tho first
two are prifei red,being rich in gluLIn
and valuable for shipping to warm ell
matea. The tird 18 also very glutin
OUS, as Is the Alabama, a varity that
yields poorly in the harvest. The Jen
nings is whole and hard, making flour
of good color and strength. The
Orange makes a family flour of f air
strength,1i0h small proportion of off.i.
The Rappahanneck is vatlable, not
very rich, yielding a good family flour
but Is easily daiagcd by moisture.
The V Ivet Cia. is early, has a still
straw, well adapted to rich soils,yields
fairly in willing a product of goodi
strength. C.awson and Fultz, both of
which are varieties popular with grow
era on account of their large yield, are
unpopular with rilers, who declare
them soft and weak, with little glu
ten.
POTATOES -A Kansas farmer says
he raised somne of the finest poeh blow
potatoes lhe ever saw in tho following
manner. In the latter part of Mlay I
drove my two horses and plough to the
patch of gaoundl I wished to plantt and
commenced '~onghing around it. Aly
b.,y J ollow ed, dropping potatoes, 0one ini
* ~ a place. evecry lteen incihes and in
* every other lurrow. I turned a light
furrowv on 1them, and when d->ne I cov
ored the ii hoe patch with straw to the
depth of three inohes. Tihey needed no
cultivation, and in Augu-t, when we
were having our dr y sptii1, the potato
vines in fields pilainted in the ordinary
* way were (drying Up) anid dying, these
potato tops8 of mine wvere growiing vi
* ~ gorously, complletely eovering the
ground. I shall p'ant, again in this
way, but, in the event of a wet season,
* 1~ think te potatoes will bo waltery.
It will be a good plant to plant bothn
ways.
DUxno the dead of winter any liv
ing planit whieh looks gree'n atitis5 to
the cheerfulness of a room, and a manss
of beautiful verduro is obtained by
the following expedient: Taike abou I,
* twenty or thirty ears of wheat, and Lie
them together, leaving the straw about,
two Inches loug. Ilang thenm up for a
few da3 s, keeping .them sprha~kled
M ith water; thme top wvill soon become
a pyramidi of verdure, and will rt tain)
its beauty fur sieveral weeks. Tes
simpile plain mny be pt~ in practice at
any time ini the winter months.

age, would last, almost a lit etime, ill
lust only a few years when exposed to
the weather.
Not the least promising applientions
of the new luminous paint ia found in
the production of a safety lamp for
coal miners. It Is 50a(d to give light
enough for practical uisc, and(, as it,
- contains nto fire, or heat., it is evident,
that, its use is absoluitely free froma risk.
By means of' this form of lamp, in con
nection with bias tin g by comp lressed
air, fire and the attendant dhanger of
exploding gas mnigh t be ruled otit, and
the most dangerous mines be made
quito safe.
flerr BJerget, of Berlin, has bought
* out a curious device by means of
which pictures of various kinds are
burnt out on a piece of ordinary-look
lng rose-colored paper. A glowing
muatchi is applied at two lnely-periora
ted points, and the sparks communi
cated then begin gradually to move
over the paper, tracing out the picture.
* )Neither leaves its proper p~ath or in
jures the papPer beyond, andi when the
end of the piath ua reached the spark
goes out.

for about two minutes. At the end of
that time, when the wick is extinguishm

The experiment of irrigating lands
in the neighborhood of Paris with
water fronm the sewvers is said to be
working successfully. Sterile tracts
of land have been converted int o fertile
plains while ino increase of sickness
among the inhabliants has followed, as
was apprehended.

CuRE F DI'PiTnhR s.-Dipitheria
is becoming a dreadful scourge aud the
writer of what is here said, saw the
working of this cure in the hands of
an English physielan at a time when
the disease was prevalent In an. Eng
ll town. Speaking of the physiclan's
applioation, the writer says: "AlI lie
took with him was vowder of sulphur
and a quill, and with these he cured
every case without exception. le put
a spoonful of flour of brimstone Into a
wineglass of water, and stirred It with
his finger instead of a spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily ainalgamate
with water. When tihe sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and
In tlen minutes tie patient was out of
danger. Brimstone kills every form
of iungus in muan, beast or plant in a
low minutes. Instead of spitting out
the gargle he recouniends the swal
jowing of Ic. In extreme cases in
whleh lie had been called just In the
nick of tline, when the fungus was too
nearly closed to allow the gargle, lie
blew the sulphur through a quill into
the throat, and after che fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, applied tie gar
stle. He never lost a patient from
dipiAtherria. If a patient cannot gar
gle, Lake a live coal, put it into U
anovel aid sprinklv a spoonfnl of flour
of brimuStne at a 1une upon it, let the
Sullerur nilnhale it, holinag tine head
over it, and the fungus will die. It
I leintluliy used, tine whole room, may
be lled aLost to LuloOatwo, the pa
tient, can %N alk about in It, inhaing
the lunes with the doors and windows
bhut. The pian of lutnigating a room
with sulphur has often cured most
violent attacks oi coh in the head and
chest."

made with six ounces of butter or clar

For net p1ies It is really undesirlable
that a large portion of butter should

"I suppose It Is, particularly if, lie

"That's all so, except I didn't steal

"You mean you stole up stairs."
"No; I didn't steal at all."
''You are doing some tall lying

"And I didn't turn the pants over to

"You admit you took the pants?"
"Certainly, ,Judge; but if the truth
