FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
V IrIII of a Five Acre Farm.
I’rof. L. B. Arnold, who live6
within three miie3 of Rochester, owns
and cultivates a little farm of five
acres. These five acres Prof. Ar¬
nold says, could be made to yield
him (60 we learn by the New
England Farmer) a good living. Last
year the corn gave him $65; his potato
crop yielded but $35, because the pota¬
toes were scabby. The net proceeds
of 40 hens were $96.99. The acre of
newly-set raspberries gave him $115;
the root crop $60, and the apple crop
$180. Besides all this he adds from
$50 to $75 worth of little incomes
from the garden, fruit crop, bees, etc.
This account does not include cow
food in the form of grass, fodder,
corn, etc., for summer and winter use,
amounting to enough to keep one cow
half the year. All this makes $600
from the five acres. He keeps but one
cow wholly on the soiling system,
there being not a rod of pasture on
the place. The cow is a very profit¬
able member of the concern, and if
men with families would realize the
value of such an aniinal, and could be¬
lieve that a cow and pasture are not
necessarily inseparable, far more
family cows would be kept. One acre
is in apples—one to two in corn,
manured in part by poultry manure,
one to raspberries, grown chiefly for
drying. It takes about 2} to 3J quarts
of berries for a pound of evaporated
fruit. The usual garden crops are
growing in abundance.
Ileiiovntins: Old Pasture*.
A Monroe County, N. Y., farmer
says: “There is a great difference in
the quality of grasses, even the same
kinds, on different soils. The richer
the soil the more nutritious the
grasses. When once a pasture becomes
deteriorated it is hard work to bring
it back to fertility; still, it can be done.
When low bushes and weeds have
made considerable growth 1 pull these
up and burn them, scattering the
ashes on the pasture. Ashes spread
on a pasture in the spring soon after
the snow is gone is one of the best
and cheapest fertilizers for pastures.
It pays to spread barnyard manure on
the poor spots of a pasture. 1 have
seen pastures brought to a good state
by top-dressings of ashes, boned us t or
compost early in the spring; then
1 itter on, when pasture is scant, feed¬
ing the cows with shorts daily; the
shorts more than pay for their extra
expense by an increse in milk and the
droppings which go to enrich the pas¬
ture. The feoding of oil cake, grain
or roots on the land is an excellent
way to manure permanent pasture,
of course the ploughing in of green
crops, or green manuring as it is
called, has some advantage over the
feeding of crops on the land, as by
this means the whole crop is returned
to the soil, Green manuring is
especially adapted to light, sandy soils,
which need humus to increase their
retentive power, but it is profitably
practiced also on heavy soil. The
green crops should, if possible, be
ploughed in about the time of flower¬
ing. Among the plants most often
grown for green manuring are white
mustard, rye, buckwheat, common
clover, cowpeas, &c. A neighbor of
mine had good luck with some poor
pasture land which he ploughed up
•and manured with wo id ashes and
barnyard manure, the latter well rotted.
He planted potatoes and got a fair
yield the first year. The second year
he seeded down to tho grass and it set
well and was free from weeds.”

This is a truly native fruit that is
almost totally neglected, says an ex¬
change. It is occasionally to be seen
in the markets of our largo cities, as
ttiey are gathered in the swamps, but
very little attention has beon given to
their culture. They are found through
most of the “Midland” region and
under two very different classes of
conditions—in swamps and on high,
dry hills. They are easily transplanted
and take kindly to cultivation. They
require rich porous soil. We heard a
writer state that they would not grow
on limestone soils, but our experience
13 very different We have them
growing on limestone soil, trans
planted from the swampy barrens of
Alabama, as well as those that are in
digenous to our soils. They vary
greatly in size and quality in their
native places, and there are fine op
portunities for selection. The upland
fruit is richer and spicier. Some
\ari, ,ie« are iiearly nil, ami we liase
met hern pure white.
n p aptin^ prepare good, rich soil,
well deepened, as for raspberries;
plant in rows two or three feet apart
in the row and six or seven feet be
tween the rows. Mulch the ground
thoroughly and from time to time en¬
rich with thoroughly decayed barn¬
yard manure. They are easily propa¬
gated by parting the roots and layers.
It will be well to make special
selections and work up. Seedlings
furnish fine scope for improvement,
They are a most beautiful plant, in
mode of growth, leaf, bloom and fruit,
unlike any other plant on the list of
fruit
As a fruit they have a wide range
of uses, as hand and desert fruit, in
tarts, pies or turnovers; as preserve,
jelly, canned or dried they come into
the domestic economy and require
very little sugar. They have no
thorns or long, rooting entangling
canes, and are consequently easily
gathered without injury to the clothes.

Fascination of the Ocean’s Bed.
“I have been a submarine diver for
twenty-five years,” said a middle-aged
man to the reporter, “and in that time
have touched bottom in almost all
quarters of the world.”
“You have no doubt' seen many
strarfge sights,” was remarked.
“I have indeed said the diver. I
think the most interesting part of a
diver’s work is to watch the movement
and habits of the fishes. They will
seldom if ever attack a man in armor.
Sharks are especially cowardly. If
you sidle off, as if afraid, they will
follow you up and and perhaps give
you trouble; but if you act boldly they
will flee from you,”
“It is remarkable how nearly like
human beings fishes are when in their
own element. Some appear highly
intelligent and some stupid. Their
eyes are wonderful; they are, for the
most part, so full of intelligence. Oc¬
currences are constantly happening
which are either startling or ludicrous.
in 1857 I was at work on the old
Spanish frigate San I’edro, sunk in
1812 in the bay of Cutnina, on the
Spanish main. She was said to have
carried a million dollars in doubloons,
which was to be used In paying the
soldiers. Sho took lire in the bay,
blew up and sunk. We worked on
her for eight months. We saw great
numbers of fish here. The jewlish, es¬
pecially, paid us great attention. They
were eight or ten feet long, and they
would come up and look us squarely
in the face with their great eyes. They
never offered to harm us, and wo al¬
ways gave them all the room they
wanted. 'lhe smaller fish would
swim all around us and never seemed
to be in the least timid.
“I think that tho corals present the
most beautiful sight which greets the
eye of the diver. Coral, for the most
part is found in clear water, which
makes it seem the more beautiful. I
once went down near the silver reef
in the West Indies. It is of solid
coral and about fifty miles in extent.
The coral grows from the bottom
like great trees, the trunks being
sometimes four or five feet in diameter.
The boughs, branches andtwig3 exact¬
ly correspoi , in form to those of a tree,
but in the clear water are dazzling
white. A foiast of coral under water
is very beautiful. Despite its many
dangers the life of a diver is very fas¬
cinating, and I suppose I shall always
continue in it .—New York Mail d

Life in Abyssinia.
The majority of houses have a sec¬

wall of the same material. Within,
live the occupants, with their cattle

Marrying Happily After Losing an Arm
Only to Meet with a Fatal Acoident
General Grant's Illness rerall«<l .0 a
New York doctor the touching
rv rv of 01 a a verv very attractive attractive young vounc ladv lauv
who was well known in New
society at the close of the war. Ilav
ing graduated from Bellevue hospital
in the spring of 1864, he says in the
World: 1 was invited, about a month
after that event to he present at the
operation for the removal of the
arm of a young lady living at Nd 11
East Twenty-ninth street, the only
daughter of a resident practitioner
now dead, Dr. John Tuttle. Quite a
number of young physicians were
there, and they, as well as their seniors,
were struck with the remarkable beau
ty, both in face and form, of the young
lady, as well as her wonderful
possession. She even wanted to see
the instruments that were to be used
upon her and to be told their uses.
lhe injury . had occurred through the
fall of a saddle-horse on which she
was riding while at her country home
at Rye the summer befora The
bruise developed an encephaloid tumor
in the. arm, and the entire arm was
skillfully removed by the celebrated
Dr. James It. Wood. In ten days she
was about the house, singing like a
bird, and that summer enjoyed in ap¬
parently perfect health all the delights
of emancipation from school life, hav¬
ing just graduated from Rutgers with
high honors. The following year—
April 24, 1865—she was married to
one of the young surgeons who had
been captivated by her beauty and her
brains, for she possessed both to an
unusual degree. Without fear or care
for the future she went on her bridal
tour to Europe, spending the spring
and early summer on horseback and
by coasting steamers among the very
romantic mountains and seacoast of
Spain, winning her way everywhere
by her beauty and wit, special enter¬
tainments being arranged for her both
by the courteous officers at Gibraltar
and by the young naval officers of an
English squadron that chanced to
meet the party at Barcelona, and ev
erv where receiving that marked atten
tion which she seemed born to com
mand. She continued through Swit
zerland and Germany into Russia and
then back through Germany to 1’aris,
there 4 to get a trousseau and secure a
passage home. And here comes in
the sad part of the story. The steam
er hail a tempestuous voyage of eight
een days. In the midst of a hurri
cane tho young lady attempted to go
on the upper deck. She fell, crushed
ii- her hip, was confined r. j*i to her i berth .i for r
the last nine days and was unable
even to see the beautiful harbor of the
city she loved so well. Arriving Jan.
1, 18b6, the very day that she had
looked forward to when she would be
receiving the congratulations of her
friends, she was taken in an ambu
lance to the house of Dr. James R,
Wood, where a consultation was held,
Another encephaloid was found to
have developed itself and all hape was
abandoned. Yet such was her vitali
ty and clieerful courage amid untold
agony that she not only lived for six
months, but buoyed up the rest of the
family with her inspiring words and
manner. This is the history of one of
the many forms of cancer and shows
how insidious is their progress and
how fatal in the end. in this young
lady's case everything was done—even
a large cradle was made and in it she
was rocked for twenty four hours at a
time. Added to this passive motion,
sedative treatment in the form ot
morphia, belladonna, hyoscyamits lup
ulin and even chloroform was freely
made use of in the vain attempt to re¬
lieve the intense paroxyisms of pain.

Curtains and Shades.
When a house is without blinds dark
shades seem to be a necessity, but uglier
hangings could scarcely be imagined
than the present highly fashionable and
ul tra-cesthetic articles.
Where there is an ugly view to be cov*
ered the lower part of the window may
be made out of stained glass, and a thin
silk gauze of bright color should hang I
from the upper sash to meet it. ]
A window without a curtain is like a
picture without a frame, With a neat
carpet, pretty walls and tasteful hang¬
ings a room’ has an air of refinement
about it, even though the rest of the
furniture be simple and insufficient.
v\ hite is to be ignored unless for sum¬
mer use, and even then dust will discolor
it. even if the maid-of-all work does not
leave her finger-marks on it every time
the panes are wiped oft'. Ecru is a good tints

patern curtain, which may be made of

satin, satinet, raw silk or Turcoman. ! he
latter material is all ready for hanging,
and is a rich-looking and wear-forever
fabric. —. revived,

The blinds arei made tc. ordoir to match
the finish of the room for bid »y

r \ ransparencies are no longer used for
sash curtains, as they soil readily, and
few curtains are a success after the sec
0 ud washing. In their place India silk
is used, as well as silk grenadine and
light Madras cloths. The silks are by
far the best adapted for this purpose, as
the texture is soft and pliable, and ad
mits of being gracefully draped. The
colors are various shades, from green or
blush red, India reds, olive green, that copper,
gilt and those blue shades r.re seen
only in the charming Oriental fabrics.

that cattle can be fattened, even in mid¬
winter, at a cost of less than two cents
