The Skylark. About the first of May 1880, Seventy. four English Skylarks were let loose'near lidgewood, New Jersey, by Mr. Hales. Fifty ottthem kgept together In a close flock. The rest scattered. They did not mount up and sing at the first taste of freedom, but devoted their attention to their physical wants. The buzzing insects, the enticing worms and the tender young growing grain were tidbits too appetizing to be resisted, and for a few days there was strict atten tion to business. Would the larks sing I That was the question of great interest. A note from Mr. Hales a few days after their release settled it. He wrote: "Here it is I The sanie delightful sound that has inspired so many poets and charmed the Old World for ages. As pure and sweet as in his na tive gray sky. No one who has ever heard the shrill, thrilling notes, not loud but very distinct, will ever forget it or fail to know it. "After a few day's enjoyment of the sweets of liberty the birds set about housekeeping. They stole away by pairs in the fields, and began nest building. The males became more and more vocal, and toared aloft above their setting imates and poured forth their sweet strains. The nests hidden In the grass or grain were not easily discovered, but some of them were found. They contained four or five freckled eggs of a greenish gray cast. Like other nests placed on the ground, some of them have been visited by cats or other predatory animals, but in other cases the eggs have gone safely through the process of incubat'.on, and the young larks, real American born skylarks, have appeared. There is no question that th youngsters will tatce care of themselves, and barring acclden a common to all birdlings, reach maturity. "Tile crucial test will come witi the winter. Vill the larks migrate to warmer clinies and com back another season, or will they stay and perish with cold? Tliese tire questions that time will answer. That the country about Ridgewood-in fact, nearly all of that part of New Jersey con tiguous to New York-is well adapted foi skylarks, there is no doubt. Air. Ite one, the bird importer, who hits released thou sands of foreign song birds in the vicinity of New York in the past quarter ofi a cen tury, says that the country along the hlack ensack valley is almost the exact counter part of the great meadows of Holland, which are inhabited by millions of sky larks, and he believes that if the birds could be protected from hunters, they would multiply and increase in 1ow Jersey until they becanie as coninnon as in the Old World. A lot of skylarks that were freed in Brooklyn, ninny yeats ago, for several ,winters, it is said, migrated only as far as 8taten Island, and were gradually killed off. ]Qr. Reiche believes that the larks In tr'duced hi this country will spend their winters further South. lie says that he is satisfied that the larks of England and Northern Europe, or the greater number of them go to Italy in winter. lie has seen myrilads of then in that country, where they are eaten by the inhabitants. Ile has no doubt that they are the birds iromi northern latitules." Fren01ch Rprig A brilliant feat of French reporting happened at the time when the great Trop. mann mnurder ease was agitating Paris and France, aid everybody was eager for details. A reporter who had the matter in hand left Paris for Cernay, where the father of Tropinann resided. lie arrived, called upon the justice of the peace anil the colmnissairo do police, invited thenm to follow hun to the nmaiile, took his sent in the judge's chair, and thero, with Lupalint lloled audacity, orderedi tihe gtarde chain p~etre to go and bring before hini the assassin's father. T1he oflicers did not say a wordi; the reporter had conquered theum by his tar andi his demeanor. When the father of Tropmann was brought before him, the reporter interrogated huni as though otielally conmmtissionedi to do so. 'iThe result of the cross.questioning was that the son had written to lis father on the eve of the day of the crime. " Mon sieur le (Couunissaire," says tihe reporter, " please to go to the witnesses' house andi seize these letters." 'The functionary obeyed; thme letters were brought, the reporter read them, found them full of evidence of Tropimann's atuilt, copiedh them carefully and~ with a solemnn air. Then, with respect, lie handedl over the originals to the justice of the peace, asked him to seal them carefully and keep them for the further use of the court. TUhe reporter put the copica into his pocket, saluted the gentleman andi~ left. it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the train that w"'MIx bear his letter to Paris wolnidohi uot; before evening.

"'It's whatt thee'i spenid, miy son," said a sage old Q~uatker, "not wht thtee'l mtake, wich will decide whether thee's to be rich or not." Th'ie adtvice wats trite, for' it was Frankhnu's in antothter shiape- 'Take care of the penice, and the potunds will lake care of themselves." But hoitinot be too oftent repeated.

The animal, after being killed an scalded, is drawn by a hook attuched to th under jaw Into the lower end of the cylin der, and In two or three seconds emerge from the top completely denuded of hi bristly coat and washed white and clean much cleaner and nicer looking than by th, old process of hand-scraping ta say nothinj of the great saving of labor and tuie, This machine performs the work usual, assigned to a force of 100 men, and whei running up to Its full capacity will turn on eight clean hogs per minute, the averag being five yesterday at a low rate of speed By an automatic arrangement the loosi bristles are raked from the cylinder, whib the carcass is released from its hooks an( passed over an inclined pliane into the handi of the dressers, and afterwards travels b] its own gravitation over a truck rail, through a pair of folding, self-closing door into the cooling room, the whole proces niot occupylig more than a minute. CHANoINo Tnx Unor.--Among the ad vantages of a rotation are that differeni crops, although requiring the sane foot elements, require them in different propor. tions-thus potatoes require more of potasl than does wheat, and when grown for t number of years upon the same land would exhaust it of its natural supply of that in. arctiient much sooner than if interspersed with other crops not demanding so large ail amount of the article. And then again a change of crops enables one crop to preparc food for another. Clover, for instance, scids its tap roots deep in the soil to bring to the surfaee food elements to be appro. printed by surface crops thin follow. Dif. ferent crops, too, require different metlods of cultivation, so that the rotation can be so arranged that the labor on the farm cau be more aporopriately as well as more economically distributed throughout the season, and thus a variety of crops permit of a better cultivation and improvement of the soil as well as destruction of th Weeds, &C. P'"Kn ixu.-A German scientist has been investigating the adulterations of seeds as sold there. The result of his first series ot observations are as follows: The average per cent. of pure sed in comner clal samp1les was found to be 59. Tihe average per cent. of foreign substunce was 41. 0t the 59 per cent. of seeds witeh were what they were'represented to te, only 18 per cunt. were capable of germina tig. A sample of oichard grass contained the seeds of 45 other plants. A sainple of meadlolw fox-tail containedi 95 per cent, of dea(i seed. T'ree tons of seed, sold as red clover, contained two tons of yellow clover. Old seeds were renovated by boiling, dye. ing and roasting. N ced seeds were staineod, and used to adulterate lots of ex pensive seeds. CUr W.oicais AND ToMATo PLANTS. Matthew Crawford states in an exchange that the desti uction of tomato pilants by thO cut worm may be avoided by naking a compact mound of earth about the plaint, as large as an inverted teacup, thi cut worm being unable to climb. Another way, which we have long practiced, is to wrap Irouid the stei, if the cut worm ie feared, a few incihes of paper or a large green leaf of any kind, before drawing the earth around it. 1,hey will not take the trouble to gnaw thronigh the paper or leaf.

In this connection we note the-following from Dr. Louis Bock & Son, Sheboygan, Wis. : We have been handihng St. Jacob's Oil and are pleased with the large demand.

She sat down at the piano and sang: "Darling, 1 am growing old." [lioston, (Maas.) Cultivitor). Mr. M. F.
