throwing the earth all eut on one aide.
Fro* near the bet to* of this pit dig a
ireach of sufficient length to bold one or

as wiO bring the end away from the pit I
to the surface of the ground Over the
end of this pipe set a common flour bar
rel or large cask, as may be needed, and, -
having removed both heada, bank up
around it with loose earth so that no
smoke can escape at the bottom. Hang
the hams, Me., in it, using some round
sticks to run through the strings. Tut
ting a cover on the sticks will leave space
enough to let the smoke pass
freely. Build a smoke fire of corn-cobs,
<1 unp, hard wood or aawdnat, in the pit,
and you will have a cheap *fs, and
rticient smoke-house with very little
trouble.

A veteran agricultural contributor
sends the Utica (N. Y.)Observer the fol
lowing :
Hubaoling land means to loosen the
subsoil, but not to turn it up. After
turning a furrow as deep as tbe crop to
be planted or sown requires, then an
other team follows with the subsoil
plow, and loosens the lower soil six to
eight inches deep, and thus leaves it;
and so the two teams continue to plow
till the field is finished. “ What ad
vantage is subsoiling?” is tbe question
that I hear asked. Twenty-five years
ago tbe agricultural theorists contended
that fanners would have to subsoil for
every crop, or soon behind tbe times;
but now we hear but little ou the subject.
The fact is, that it doaen’t pay to subsoil
land, and that rettles the question, as
few farmers can afford to employ two
teams on'the same land, and plow in u
day only as much as one team can do.
There are, however, some advantages in
some seasons by subsoiling, one of which
is that crops will withstand a severe
drouth better on subsoiled land than on
that which is not aubeoiled. This is
about all that can be said in favor of the
system, and the second year tbe lands it
about as hard and compact below as is
was before the subsoil plow was ured.
In brief, I don’t advise any farmer to
aubaoil bit land in any case. Here is
What a min says who has tried it:
“ There is this shout subsoiling, which I
think is not usually understood, that
like surface plowing, it should be done
for every crop. The loosening of the
ground below, where it had laid unstirred
perhaps for ages, it may be thought,
will benefit it for years, Such is not my
experience and observation. Made mel
low it will settle and pack, except under
certain conditions, and liecomo as hard,
if not harder, in a year or two as before.
' >ne of the exceptions is where manure is
mixed with it, particularly vegetable or
barnyard manure. The roots of clover,
or other plants that penetrate and fill
tbe soil well, will meet this requirement;
grass and grains only to a slight extent.”
I claim that in all cases surface plowing
can be so done, deep or shallow, as the
crop may require, and the land admit, to
advantage, to produce all the crop that
the land is susceptible of growing; yet, if
one can afford the expense ; it would lie
well to try subsciling a little as an ex
periment. Subsoil plows are made for
subsoiling only ; they turn no furrows.

degrees, and third, to be so placed that

other. We have always had success in
keeping them well into spring by placing
them in a cool, dry chamber until freez

closet for safe keeping over winter.

KepnNluilin of Beer's Antler*.
Cattle do not abed their born* every
year; and these appendages differ an
atomically from the antlers of deer.
Tbe latter are bone material throughout,
and have great strength in their beat
estate. Tbe rapid growth ot new antler*
after the old have been shed, like an old
coat of hair, i* a curious phenomenon.
Phosphate* should be plenty in the
animal's food when new bones are form
ing at such a rapid rate; and why heavy
antlers drop off every year, to bs followed
by new ones, with anew prong, and a
little heavier than the old burden on the
head and neck, does not appear. One
would suppose that an aged stag, soon to
die anyway, might be spared tbe extra
weight of armor which he could not car
ry with comfort, nor use with tffect in
self-defense. But nature show* no more
favor to any of her creatures than is
shown by tbe earthquake and f'rked
lightning. All the internal bones ol .deer
and elk are of slow growth; while tbeae
external organs come and go with aston
ishing activity. The process of growth
is as follows: The old antler having
fallen off the blood-vessels of the perios
teum at its butt are ruptured, producing
a copious flow ol blood. Tbe periosteum
or bone covering grows over the pedice
or plscee where the antler stood. On tbe
approach of spring this covering becomes
inflamed, resembling a blood blister. It
rises up rapidly, new systems of blood
vessels forming In it, till its height is
twice its diameter, then a bone deposit is
com menced at the ci rcu inference of the top
of the pedicel. Blood vessels permeate
the new antler, and it rises rapidly. In
time the internal circulation ceases.
The velvet-like covering drops off and
grows no more, while the new weapons
of defense and offence are ready for ac
tive service. What first dcvelojied this
remarkable external growth of bones? ;
Did sherd of deer, standing in solid
phalanx, with bloody heads to the en
emy, form first a callous periosteum, and
then an osseous projection, where antlers
now stand? Domesticated sheep and
cattle easily lose their horns where |>ains
are taken to develope hornless breeds.
Deer doubtless are subject to the same
law. The removal of antlers by a vital
process is quite as singular as their
growth. John Dean Caton, whose ob
servations on the natural history of the
American Cervido are familiar to the
readers of Darwin’s writings, says in the
American Naturalist, in substance:
“ But now, all sources of nutriment
having been cut off by the deposit of
earthy salts, the antler dies and is re
moved. One of the systems of blood
vessels which supply nutriment to the
growing antler commences active opera
tions to undermine it. The absorbents
of the vessels attack the point ot junction
between the antler and pedicel. They
do not carry away the surface of the
bone evenly, so as to make it smooth,
but as it were, they remove alternatn
particles, till the union, which before
was so firm that no force could break it,
has now become so weakened that the
antler is detached by some slight vio
lence.”
Apparently, an excess of bono material
kills the antler, and when dead, the liv
ing parts amputate i*, as something in
compatible with life.
Duration of the* l*ei|ie >, s Kerign.
There is, er has been till now, a super
stition that none of the ]iopes can out
live St. Peter, and as far as the history
of the papacy can be traced, no pope till
now has reigned longer than the apos
tolic founder of the holy see. I'ious VI.
reigned within three or four months of
five-and-twenty years; and,till the reign
of Pius IX., this was the nearest approach
to the alleged pontificate of Peter. The
I duration of that is said to have been
twenty-five years, two months and seven
days. Sylvester I. reigned twenty-four
years, and Adrian’s reign fell short of that
only by about ten days. The longest
reign next to these is the regin of Pius
VII. That was twenty-three years and
a half. Rut Pius IX, is now in the
fiftieth year of his episcopate, in the
thirty-first year of his pontificate, and in
the eighty-fifth year of his age. He has,
with one or two exceptions, outlived all
the cardinals who took part in his elec
tion in the June of 1846; has confuted
the old belief embodied in the words
Xon videbit annoe Petri, and ia to-day,
with one exception—that ot Queen Vic
toria—tbe oldest reigning sovereign in
Europe. Her majesty is the pope’s
senior as a sovereign by nearly ten years.
But, with this exception, the pope has
seen every throne in Europe change its
occupant since the triple crown was
placed on his brows in St. Peter’s, and
some of them he bas seen refilled more
i than once.
Cotton Manufacturing in the
South.
Mobile’s cotton factory appears to be
an established fact. A company is or
ganized. and though not all the capital
stock that was desired has been sub
scribed, the directors are about to start
the enterprise with 1,345 spindles, which
will consume about 800 hales of cotton
yearly and replace it with 8100,000 worth
of yarn. The Register says the company
has the advantage of three cents per
pound over the New England manufac
turers, which is Bis per bale, or $12,000
for the 800 bales, a handsome dividend
in itself, while at the same time labor is
cheaper, the weather less inclement, and
there is a market right at home. Though
this may be the beginning ol competition
with eastern manufactures, the world is
large enough fbr all, and we welcome
| anything that promises anew prosperity
for the south.
A M>r Is-mlcr'* Talk with m Mur
derer.
A correspondent of tbe Hi. I/>ui*< flole
i*r*ocrat, writing from Jefferano, Texas,
gives an account of tbe rescue of Jim
Johnson from the jail at Jefleratm, and
his Mibarquent hanging. The corre
spondent says; “After Johnson had
been secured by tbe raiders, their leader,
wbo was evidently a man of culture and
great authority, addressed Rothschild ia
cold and formal tones. He informed tbe
prisoner that in hia case they intended to
let tbe law talte its course, but if it was
shown by tbe evidence at the trial that
there was any likelihood of the ends of
justice being thwarted, they intended to
take him out and hang him like a dog.
Rothschild who, it will be remembered,
attempted suicide ju-t previous to bis
arrest, exhibited tbe most abject fear at
the prospect of death at the hands of the
mob. He pleaded piteously for his life,
crying bitterly, and was not molested.
Ice a* an Article of Commerce.
Ice did not become an article of com
merce until the present century; but
already in the United States alone $30,-
000,00(1 are invested In the business of
gathering and selling it. Large ship
ments of ice are made to South America
and Asia, the Europeans supplying them
selves with ice from Norway. There has
been a remarkable increase in the use of
the article in the United States since
’ 1854, when only 50,000 tons of it were
used. In the year 1876 the consumers
tiought 2,500,000 tons, and probably
5,000,000 tons were cut. Beer brewers
are the best customers ef the ice compa
nies, several using 30,000 tens of ice \
annually. So great has become the ice '
commerce that it now has a neatly and
clearly printed newspaper of its own.—
