these boys enter and buy theirtnmMer i
of Montill or Sherry. In tlnvo days
they have spent with cabs, wine, wo
men and sweets, every sixpence of their

They are amazingly proud, even
before they are habited as soldiers. I .
saw four of them- boys of eighteen or
twenty--sitting on Cadiz wharf the
other dav. A gray haired, courtly,
Spanish gentleman passed, and said : |
“Are you conscripts'.'’ "No,’ said
the spokesman, who had a soldiers
cap, “we are mililorit Of the lour
one was barefooted, ono only had a
military badge-—a blue, rod-tass* led

is a heaven upon earth they havo no j
idea what Cuban life is ; they volun
teer, go. and only twenty out of every ,
hundred return at the end of tho two

The government pays twenty dol
lars for the passage and food of each
private soldier, and I he boats g
ally carry 800 men each, and make,,
the passage to Cuba in sixteen or
twenty days. On board they are not
badly' treated. Two days in each
week they have bacon or pork, and
during the rest rancho —i. e. pottage
of beaus, rice, and dried peas. They
sleep in the hold on a long row ot
Sloping planks, cuili man lu-.i a

all are summoned upon duck. At
sundown all ate ordered below, and 8
p. ni. the order is passed along the
dark rocking hold, “Silence—not s:

It is wrong to say tho Cuban vol
unteers are ill-treated. Tho treat

well fed; and receives 15d per day in

Dean Stanley, in Woatministor Ab

many at the present time that the
world is growing worso. “It maybe

; may ho we arc sometimes inclined to
j fear the latter half of tho nineteenth

: a darker philosophy, a debasement of
the senses, or a term of gross super
stition. It may be that diabolical
j crimes shall rise again which wo had
' hoped wore dead forover, that State,s

several letters asking for recipes for

poultry-houses and yards, where the
above-named dreaded scourge pre
vails, %vo give the following : I’iglit
or ten pounds of sulphate of iron
(copperas) dissolved in five or six
gallons of water, with a half pint of
crude carbolic acid added to the so
lution, and briskly stirred, makes the
cheapest and best disinfecting fluid
for common use. It can be procured
in every town, and by any family, and
if the carbolic acid is not at hand, the
solution of copperas may bo used
without it. (Sprinkle the walls, nest
boxes, and perches daily, with the
above.
For the disinfection of ground on
which any exoreinentul mutter of dis- j
eased fowls (or of those suspected of
disease) has been east, use the “dead
oil,” (heavy oil) of coal tar, or coal
tar itself. It is a good plan to use
coal tar as a paint for the inside of
poultry-houses, in districts invaded

Sheep Husbandry.
Somo cautions necessary to those
; who think of turning their attention
jto nlicep husbandry. There is no use
of attempting it with inferior sheep,
unless pure-brod bucks aro at once
mad to improve them. Tt is useless
to attempt this husbandry, unless the
(lock is sufficiently largo to deserve
attention. The planter must give
his personal attention to the busincas,
j unless he has absolute confidence in
his shepherds. The flock must be I
! the object of ns constant attention it •'
! the coin or cotton field,
j Tho cotton and grain crops on the)
plantations need not bo reduced—in j
; fact, they will bo greatly increased,
! and bo made on less surface of land,
by the heavy manuring from the
sheep. It is estimated that a flock
| of I,(K>O sheep, folded on one aero of
land, will thoroughly manure it in two i
I nights; or, in round numbers, 180
acres of land will be so thoroughly
manured in one year as to easily pro- •
(luce one bale of cotton to the acred
The manure of the sheep alone will]
more than pay for their keeping.
Thera 'is another view to take of]
sheep husbandry that is rot often |
mentioned. As soon as wo have aid
abundance of lino wool on each farm,
w o ilen facto ides will t pring into ox
i.itenee, and a large proportion of our !
wool and cotton will be manufaotarod '
at home for home consumption. We
will ret.dn at home vast sums o?
money that are now sent abroad for
woolen and cotton goods. The!
(Tr riol k-rvilie and j’lvdrickslmi'g
mills are manufacturin'; ; • rl<
woolen goods, and wo have no doubt
! there are other factories in tho Slate
that aro doing tho samo tiling. If
those factories could be assn veil of u
i regular and constant supply of fine
• wools, they would greatly increase
ithiir manufacturing capacity, ami
inako not only a home market i r
’ our wool and cotton, blit for a thous
-1 and other things that can be profit
] ably raised on a farm.
To moke sheep husbandry success- 1
; ful at tho South, tho sheep ought
never to be without a shepherd. One
.'-hopherd can easily attend to live or
. dx hundred sheep, and no extra la-'
i bor will be required, except at time
of shearing. —Planter and Farmer.

Women as Po Up Raisers.
The special capacity of women
caring for pets is so well established
that it is a uia'ter of surprise that a
larger number do not make their
natural inclination a matter of profit
in the raising of poultry. There is
no reason why woman may not be
as successful ns a man in Ibis branch
‘ of productive and profitable industry. !
Indeed, when it is considered that j
the business requires close attention ]
to minute details, patience and gen- ]
th'ia -s of Manner, woman seems to be i
pocnliarly fitted for tbo business. The
Danbury man's humorous description !
f the (bill rent ways in which a wo- j
until and man attempt to get a hen 1
into tho coop, and tho superiority of'
. the former’s method in as true as it is!
funny. After the lionnery or coop is
built, there is no department of the
work that a woman cannot perform
without exhausting labor or too heavy
demands upon her time. “Down
South” poultry raising is woman’s
special department, and one need not
go farther South than Baltimore or;
Washington to find the markets
thronged with the temajo venders of
their own feathered products. That
the business is profitable, tho experi
ence of hundreds testifies, and that it
is healthful, and may be attractive, is
susceptible of demonstration.' —Planter

i
Waste of Land. —lt a farm of 100
acres is divided by r fences into fields
|of 10 acres each, there aro 5 miles of
| fences. If each fence now is one rod
wide, no loss than ten acres of land
j are occupied by them. This is equal
! to C.l per cent of the farm, and the
i loss of the use of the land is exactly
equal to a charge of (i t per cent on
the whole vale of the farm, lint
nearly every fence row in the country
is made a nursery for weeds, which
j stock the. whole farm, and make an
immense amount of labor necessary
to keep them from smothering the
crops. Much damage always results
jto the crop from these weeds, and if
these expenses are added to the first
one, the whole will easily sum up to
!SO per cent., or a tax of ono-fiftli of
j the vale of the farm. To remedy this
1 we would have fewer fences, or we
j would clean and sow down the fence
• rows to grass or clover, and mow
them twice a year. Ten acres of clo
ver or timothy would at least supply
a farm with seed and a few tons of
hay every year. Wo would in short
consider the fence rows as a valuable
part of the farm, and use them ns
such.—American Agriculturist.
