At the east, for the past twenty-five or thirty years, the question of soiling has been a noted one, and one which at the present time is being shown a practical one by very many dairy and stock men. Many farms are devoted to the pro duction of milk for market to supply the many cities and manufacturing vil lages of the east, and as these milk produoers must have a constant flow of milk, soiling to a greater or less extent has become a necessity, and those who are engaged in making gilt-edged but ter And it important to feed a little green feed in the barn in times of drought. It is also fonnd in practice that horses and hogs thrive by the same course. Nearly all practiced and intel ligent farmers will admit that where land is dear and the products of the herd are high, soiling will pay ; and some will grant that where the soil by constant cropping lias beoome impover ished and manure become a necessity, in order to grow paying crops, soiling also may pay. lint the ques ion before .us is not whether Boiling is or may be profitable to other parts of this great country, but it is adapted to Missouri and to the present time ? In localities where there is unlimited range of unin olosed land, all kinds of stock may do very well on the natural pnsturo. But if a piece of corn is sown thickly and a small feed given to the oows at night, it will help very much to keep np the flow of milk in time of severe drought, and will also prove quite an indnoemeut to the oows to be at home in good sea son. But this outside range is fast giv ing out in many places, and in some localities large herds of Texas cattle are fed, monopolizing the feed that by right ought to belong to those residing near. And it seems onr laws admit of the leasing of uninol. sed lands for the purpose of herding osttle, and a great inquiry now is, among those who have considerable stock, rvliat are we going to do for feed ? It is just the time now to put in orops for soiling for this and Intnre seasons. A little rich land sown from time to time will furnish a great amount of the best kiud of feed for milch cows, and what is good for them will not be refused by other stock. Where soiliug is necessary some prepa ration mustba made in the fall, as much at least as to sow thickly a small piece of rye, as this is usually' the first thing that oan be cut t advantage. Clover usually comos next, and there is no bet ter feed. Cows fed on clover will give an abandonee of excellent milk. Oats cut while green make very good feed. But I think there is nothing better than oorn sown in drills at the rate of two and a half bushels to the sore—at snob times as it is in season—nor is it easy to tint any other crop that oan equal it for soiling purposes. Oats and barley sown late can sometimes bo used aftef corn is killed by frost, and sometimes turnips oan be grown as a second crop to good ■ advantage. I suppose most farmers will s*y too mush bother, too much trouble, etc. How can we over get pay for all this labor ? While land is cheap it is no doubt best to pasture yonng cattle. Bnt it must be economy to at least part soil dairy stock and teams. In f notions where much gram is raised and but lit le stock kept, soiliug be oomes practical at ouoe for the following reasons, which are admitted by all who have tried the system : It saves much land—about three fourths—while boiuo claim a still greater area is saved. This is being demonstrated continually in the older parts of onr country. Lands pas tured do not yield n- ar as much feed per acre, and much of what is produced is destroyed by the tramping of hoofs and fouling of the stock. At one time in my experienoe I was milking twovlve oows, ana, in time of severe drought I was obliged to feed wholly in the barn. It required but four rodis of ground to j keep the twelve cows a day, giving them , all the corn—fodder they oou'd eat, and , as this corn grew in a young orchard with a thriftv tree at each corner, which I must have oocupied at least one fourth ! of the land, so that in point- of fact one square to! furnished food for four cows one day. Each one must consider for himself how far the additional labor will balance the saviug of land Where a community of grain growing will to gether agree to soil all stock, all farm fences can be dispensed with. This will not only save the land occupied by fenoee and hedges, which many timea grow weeda to seed cnltiva'ed fields, and also furnish a harbor or home for many small aninia's that are more or less destructive to the crops of adjoin ing fields, but the first cost of the fence is saved, and the animal repairs there after. It is not necessary for me to es timate the oost of farm fences. Every one in this new oountry knows by bitter experience. It certainly is a large sum on most well fenced 'farms. If one farmer alone in any oommunity chooses, ho can tlispenso with all inside fences. Each crop can occupy that portion of bis farm beat adapted to its growth, ami of large or small area uccordlng to tin owner’s wish. Oows kept upon this plan give much more milk taking the Reason through, although for a little time In flnsli o' feed they may do letter in a pasture. As the season advances there is a great gain in favor of soiling. Although there are several other advantages to 1). gsinod by the system wo advocate, wf wi-1 for the present pass them over, only speaking still further of the great saving of manure. Provide good com fortable quarters for stock; u-o ab sorbents enough to take up all liquid manure, and the pile of manure that will accumulate in one season will lx enormous. The liquid is believed to bi as valuable as the solid excrements, and to give the best results ought to be saved and applied together. I am welt aware that manure is not generally valued mnoh in this portion of Unci' Ham's domain. But this feeling ongb' to bo overcome and the motto adopted: “Have all the manure possible, foi plenty of manure makes the form rich, and a rich farm is sure to make the owner rioh," I frol sore that this is so from a few fact} that have come to my knowledge, one of which I will state hero While doing a little business with a gentleman in Kingston he spoke of a farm he owDod near the town, and among other good things he stated that ho obtained from three to four tons of first-class hay to the acre, ami in an ex perience of thirty years I have never reached this highest figure. At once 1 asked him how he did it. In answer he said : “I use all tbe manure I can get, and all the ashes and any thing that makes grass grow.” Ho said he had two teams around the town picking up manure. He also said he oould get n good stand of grass on well-manured land. If the times are hard, that mau will always make farming pay. Others have told me that manure is worth SI per load. I always pity those who plow, sow and reap a great breadth of laud, use manure enough, which if applied on one-half the number of aores the same amount of crops would bo produced. Ho long as this waste is allowed so long will farmers complain of hard times and poverty. t ought to have ex p ained more fully the amount of land nfoessary to keep stock well soiled. The instance I have noted in my expe rience I have not often reached. Corn produces more than most other crops for this purpose, but does not often do as well as in the ease mentioned. It is more safe to calculate one square rod per day (and if not well-managed it may need a little more) for each animal s > kept. If anything is left over it makes good winter feed.— M. A. A"., in Rural World. The Cotton Worm. Dr. A. It. Grote advances a somewhat novel and at the same time encouraging theory in regard to tho cotton worm, so injnrious to the agricultural interests-of the southern ntat.es. The result of care ful inquiry iuto ita history Ims led him to the inference that it is iu reality a native of south aud ceutru! America, that its appearance iu the Unit'd .Slates is the result of immigration from the south, and that It dies out every vear with its food-plant, tho eggs which it lays not coming to maturity, being killed by the inolemency of the wouther. He finds testimony that for many years after the introduction of tho cotton plant iuto tho southern Rtati h the oot ton worm did not appear, and that its existence in southern Alabama but little preceded the late war. It is, however, capable of extended flights, rh it has boon observed in the eastern states, t ud also st Buffalo and Chicago. The sup ply of the insect is, therefore, main tained every year by •means of flights from the south, whioh are somewhat capricious, and may be diverted out of their course by powerful currents of wind occurring at the time of their migration. The inference drawn from these facts by Dr. Grote is that the prooess of arti ficial extermination may ho simplified by limiting the period during which it can be successfully attacked, aud by doing away with a certain olass of pro posed remedies. The agent employed to destroy the worm must ho used against the (list brood, as they appear, iu any given locality, during its pro gress northward, and that, to be effect ual, the notion must be concerted in ttio application of tbe remedial agent. He strongly roeommouds the introduc tion of tho English sparrow, and addi tional legal protections to insectivorous birds, as absolutely necessary to tho agricultural interest. Condition of the European Crops. The mail (' •omits from Europe come down to the beginning of this month and arc full of interest in viow of the prevailing uncertainty ns to the pros pi ot oi the oomiug harvest, on which the generally depressed trade of the world so greatly depends. Up to the last week of April the weather in nearly every important grain-growing country had been exceptionally unfavorable to vegetation; and it was clear thnt the continuance a few days longer of oold winds and ungenial skies would have caused a general failure of the cereal orops. Just at this crisis, however, the weather on both sides the Atlantic ap pears to have taken n milder turn, and though not positively favorable to growth has since been sufficiently mod erated to avert injurious effects to the crops. In i ratios, Germany, Austria and Hungary, the condition of the wheat crop is generally satisfactory ; aud in those countries where maize is cultivated, the prospect of that crop also appears to be good. Over large are is. however, the rye crop is an utter failure ; and rape has also suffered very severely. Ou the whole, we must c u clnde that, if we have av.rags grain c ops this yeir, it oan be only through very favorable weather betveen now and July and August, an 1, in any event, the harvest oan hardly fa 1 to be a late one. — lf. V Bulletin. Bio ’’onks. —The di oovery of an other mammoth skeleton, id Otisvil'e, on the Erie railroad, and in the county of Oran (re, New York, is the sensation of the hour among the scientists aud wonder lovers. This is the sixth skele ton of the mastodon that has been ex humed from the muck-beds of the ! county, and ill many r- spec's the finest :— though not yet oomph te. The lusks have not yet been discovered, but may bs expected to reward fur her excava ! tion. The size of the monster of which these bones are the remains may be iin- I agiued from the fact that a tall man may , staud within the pelvic arch and with arms outstretched barely touch the sides at their widest span. The weight of this siugle Ixme is nearly half a ton, and ; so many of the parts as have been found weighed 1,760 pounds. —The Bible is now printed in no fewer than two hundred aud ten languages.

One of the most torrible cliim(6TS in the history of Massachusetts ooourred on tbe 28th, in the burning of the French Oath olio church at South Hol voke, during the evening service, and involving the dea’h of sixty-six men, women and children. The church society was established about seven years ago, and Father Dufresuo bad been the only pastor. The parish iDeluded all the French Catholics of the citv, whose number is f stimatod at from 2,000 to 2 500 persons The church was erected in 1870, ENTIBF-LY OF FINK ; was about one hundred fest by sixty ; two stories, with galleries on the sides and north end shout twenty-tlve feet wide. There were two doors in the north end and the vestibule, from which two doors opened into the body of the churoh. The galleries opened into th, vestibule. At tiro rear end was unother door by which a few persons esoaped. Immediately upon the breaking out of the flamos all the occupants of the galleries rushed to the east door, and falling upon one another choked up the doorway with their bowks nr,ed in am ways seven or eight deep. Here most of the lives were lost. From this mass Chiel Mullen rescued one young woman after having taken off two dead bodies from above her. Toe chief and others had their clothes almost burnt from them, and were badly burnt about the hands. In the rear of the churoh was the priest’s residence, which was also de stroyed. The walls were pulled down after the fire was nearly put out. One woman jumped from the highest window down upon the front steps, breaking her arm. A man with TWO CHILDREN IN Hlfl ARMS jumped from a window and escaped. One poor woman enveloped in flames shrieked out—“ For God’s sake, save me," and she was dragged out. THE HERO OF THE DISASTER was John Lynch, a bravo firemaD, who was the first to respond to the alarm. He de scribes the scene when he reached the burning church as appalling. Wedged tight and immovable in the doorways was a dense macs of humanity from six to eight feet in height, none of them able to stand upright from the terrible pressure of the crowd behind, while upon and over them a sheet of fire rolled like a wave at reaming far out into the open air. Without a moment’s pause to consider their danger, Lynch and chief engineer Mullen rushed into the flames, spurred on by piteous cries— “ For God's sake come and help us,” and began pulling out bodies. A moment later and a well directed hy drant stream from Mt. Holyoke struck the brave rescuers and undoubtedly saved them from being burned alivo. The first persons drawn out were burn ing, but they passed directly through the stream of water and the flames were extinguished. Home of the poor crea tures fell fainting on the long flight of wooden stairs leading down to the street and few were able to walk. By this time tho entire tiro depart ment had arrived, and worked with such energy and will that when the fire was extinguished the charred wooden walls of the struotfiro were standing, and wore pubed down by tho ho. k and ladder men in order that search for the bodies might be made. Only a very few moments comparatively elapsed after the water struok the building before the fire was out, bnt tho destruction of life during that brief period was terrible. Homo sprung from the gallery windows and were seriously lujured, and one person appeared at a wiudow. CIOMFLETMiY WMAI'I'BC IN FLAMES, and after tottering there an instant fell to the ground dead aud unrecognizable. Hundreds of men went to tho wreck as soon as opportunity offorc 1, to search for bodies, and a force of police was organized to keep baok the largo orowd winch hud gathered. The greater num ber of hoilies wero found in the fatal entry way burned, some of them to Ja crisp. The body of one woman was found in the pew she hail occupied, her olothiug entirely burned off. A fleshy woman who weighed some 180 pounds, was dragged screaming from the mass. She was carried a short distance from the church aud placed on the grass, while the FLESH ACTE ALLY PRELED OFF, of her hack. In a moment she fell over dead. The scenes last night and to day iu the school-house basement, where the bodies of the dead wore carried, were heart-rending In the extreme. In some instances the features were dis torted as though extreme agony had been suffered before death, but many looked calm us though smothered. All were blackened wi'h smoke. Home were burned 1> yi-n-1 the possibility of identlfio ition, nothing remaining hut the trunk. Louis Desjernen, 54 years old, whose wife aud daughter were both burned to death, BECAME INSANE to day from grief, an I cried continually in agonizing tones, “ Oh my Julie ! my Julie !” Some wore taken out alive who were under ethers who wero dead, aud owed to this fact their own salvation. One of tec most protraoted cast s of suffering was that ot Mary Desjernen, who, burned past all recognition and blind, some how fund her way to a uill north of the church aud wandered around there about twenty minutes be fore she was found aud taken to her home, where she died about 11 o'eloek this mortiirg, having lingered fifteen hours in fearful agony. The fate of lmmenio Menser and her lover was a touching event of the tire. She was orgauist for the evening, in the absence of the regular one, and waa cut off from escape. Her lover esoaped, bnt, finding she was still within, turned back and shared her fate. A REVISED LIST OF THE VICTIMS. The latest revised figures give: Dead, 71: fatally burned, 22: other vise burned and wounded, 27 Of the 74 dead, 55 are females and 16 males. A Heavy Man. A strangor with no irnilo in his face aud no overcoat on his shoulders, wan dered into a clothing store in Newport, the other day, aud asked if he oonld be fitted a spring overcoat. The proprie tor promptly uuswered in the affirma tive. “Yon speak very positively," replied the stranger. “I am bigger than yon take me for.” The store keeper was still confident, that he had coats that would answer, “I am a pretty heavy man,” said the stranger. “ I will bet you five dollars that you can’t guess my weight into one hnndred pounds." The mau was not particularly large, and this astounding challenge entirely diverted the seller of clothing from the ordinary course of his busi ness. He took the wager, named his guess—about 160 pounds—the money was put up in the hands of a third party, and all started off for a pair of scales, and the stranger balanced 290 pounds of weights. Tbe store man looked sad and pnzzled. With a smile that was childlike and bland the stranger took his money and walked off without saving anything more about the over coat. It has since beon learned that this man wears a lead jaoket, and has been making an honeHt living by jdaying his sonrvy trick on unsuspecting dealers in clothing. He came from Conueoticut. New Mode of Ventilation. The London Times recently gave a valuable account of a mode of vontila tion adopted by Mr. Tobin, a retired merchant of Leeds, and which rests on the principle that a narrow stream of air can be Rent up through lighter air, like the jot of a fountain through the ordinary atmosphere, by atmospheric pressure from outside, and that when it reaches tho ceiling it will he reflected off in all directions, just iah the water falls back in a number of iuflnitenimal rills, and so melt away very grail ually in‘o the less pure air of the room, be fore reaching the persons who need it. Tho modus oporandi is to introduce vertical tubes, communicating with the outer air, in parts of a large room or public building where people are not likely to sit or stand, tubes rising, say four or five feet, above the floor. Di rectly the air pi the room begins to bo rarified, the pressure of the air outside sends streams of air np these tubes, which continue to rise in narrow streams just like jets of water, and without, dispersing till they reach the ceiling, where they are reflected back in spray, sb it were, of pure air, spray which miles very gradually indeed, and so as to avoid all draft, with the rarified air of the room, and gradually expels all the bad air by way of the ohimney. Tho system seems to have worked almost miraculonsly in the Leeds Bo rough police court, and also in the Liv erpool police court, whose stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Raffles, has borne the most grateful testimony to tin results of the experiment, and Mr. Tobin is now engaged in introducing it into London. Bather Hard to Trap.—The late Dr. Whewell waa a living cyolodedia. On one oooasion some of his companions formed a conspiracy to trap him. A number of them read up ou Chinese music from articles in old reviews. Then when they were ready they fired off their recondite knwledge on the state of music in China. For a while Dr. Whewell remained silent and the conspirators were happy in thinking they had oanght the great chieftain at last. WheD, however, they had about emptied themselves of their curious loro, he remarked : “I was imperfectly, and to some extent incorrectly, in formed regarding Chinese music when I wrote the articles from which you have drawn your information.” Ho the trick kicked and bnrt its inventors sorely. A Word in Season. —Health is a blessing, whioh comparatively few en joy in all its fullness. Those endowed by nature with robust frames and vig orous constitutions should be careful not to trifle with them. When we enter the seasons of period ic fevers, the increased beat of tbe sun develops a miasma whioh pervades the air. The evil is inextinguishable; our duty to guard against it is imperative 1 Fortunately for those whose lot is cast in low marshy districts or new clear ings, nature provides a cure and pre ventive. Dr. Walker's California Vine gar Bittqrs are endowed with rare pro phytactic or diseaxe-preventiny powers, and as “an onnoe of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” should be taken in the full vigor of health, so as to fortify the system against the assault of summer disease, and thus secure by their life-giving, strengthening, restor atives, and antiseptic virtues, a defense against atmospheric poison. It is often remarked by strangers vis iting our HUte that we show a larger propor tion *f good horses than any other Ntato in the Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two principal reasonsr In tho iirst place, we breed from the veVy best stock ; and in the second place, our people use Sheridan’s Caval ry Condition Powders, which in our judgment are of incalculable advantage.
