FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Yield of a Five Acre Farm.
Prof. L. B. Arnold, who Ilves
within three miies of Bochester, owns
and cultivates a little farm of five
acres. These five acres Prof. Ar
nold says, could be made to yield
him (so 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 not proceeds
of 40 hens were $96.99. The acre of
newly-set raspberries gave him $115;
* the root crop S6O, and the apple crop
SIBO. Besides all this ho adds from
SSO 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 S6OO
from the five acres. lie 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 aminal, 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 24 to 3} quarts
of berries for a pound of evaporated
fruit. The usual garden crops are
growing in abundance.
Ilenovatlntr Ohl Pastnreii.
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 bo done.
When low bushes and weeds have
made considerable growth I pull these
up and burn thorn, 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. I have
seen pastures brought to a good state
by top-dressings of ashes, bonedust or
compost early in the spring; then
litter 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 feeding of oil cake, grnin
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 dower
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,
lie planted potatoes and got a fair
yield the first year. The second year
he seeded down to the grass and it set
well and was free from weeds.”
The Huckleberry.
This is a truly native fr uit that is
almost totally neglected, says an ex
change. It is occasionally to bo seen
in the markets of our large cities, as
they are gathered in the swamps, but
very little attention has been given to
their culture. They are found through
most of the ••Midland" region and
under tw'o 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
is 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 i
greatly in size and quality in their
native places, and there are line op
portunities for selection. The upland
fruit is richer and spicier, t-ome j
varieties are nearly red. and we have '
met them pure white.
In planting prepare good, rich soil, i
well deepened, as for raspberries; i
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- I
gated by parting the roots and layers.
It will lie 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 : 1
thorns or long, rooting entangling :
canes, and are consequently easily '
gathered without injury to the clothea
The fruit is exceedingly healthy, and
( a huckleberry plantation has peculiar
j fascinations to the city picnic goer,
j Since writing the above we notice
this fruit in the catalogue of a nursery
’ man.

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
, strange 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 anil 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 Pedro, sunk in
1812 in the bay of Cumina, on the
Spanish main. She was said to have
carried a million dollars in doubloons,
which was to be used in paying the
soldiers. She took fire in the bay,
blew up and sunk. We worked on
her for eight months. We saw great
numbers of fish hero. The jewfish, 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. The smaller fish would
swim all around us and never seemed
to be in the least timid.
“1 think that the 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. 1
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 and twigs exact
ly correspo.. in form to those of a tree,
but in the clear water are dazzling
white. A foiest of coral under water
is very beautiful. Despite its many
dangers the life of a diver is very fas
cinating, and 1 suppose I shall always
continue in it.— New York Mail <t-

Life In Abyssinia.
The majority of houses have a sec
ond story, at least a sort of attic, under
the extinguisher roof of thatch, rim
ming a circular frame of dried mud or
wood resting on the angles of four
walls of mud and stone, either in
square, or the ground plan taking the
lines of a Greek cross, and the interior
face is surrounded by a circular outer
wall of the same material. Within,
live the occupants, with their cattle
fowls, dogs, cats and a Noah’s ark of
insects, which the natives foster with
the greatest care by not touching soap
and by using very little water. The
excessive disregard to cleanliness is
quite a mania with the Abyssinians.
It is not from a want of water. There
is plenty; and the famous soap-tree,
called indoed, grows everywhere, the
seeds of which, when carefully dried
i in the sun, may bo worked into a good
i lather that is very cleansing. An
1 Ethiopian will tell you without a
blush that he is necessarily washed at
birth, washes himself on his marriage
’ morn, and hopes to be washed after
! death; that once every year he dips
himself in the river on the festival of
' St. John, and every morning he wets
' the end of his toga with the moisture
! from his mouth an I freshens up his
eyes. Whenever he feels hard and unj i

‘ THE STORY OF A CANCER,
i
r How a Young New York Bella
Suffered and Died.
e
-1 Marrying Happily After Losing an Arm
Only to Meet with a Fatal Accident.
i General Grant’s illness recalled to a
New York doctor the touching histo
t ry of a very attractive young lady
who was well known in New York
society at the close of the war. Hav
ing graduated from Bellevue hospital
* in tile spring of 1864, he says in the
World: I was invited, about a month
1 after that event to he present at the
I operation for the removal of the left
arm of a young lady living at No 11
1 East Twenty-ninth street, the only
daughter of a resident practitioner
f now dead, Dr. John Tuttle. Quite a
f 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 self
possession. She even wanted to see
the instruments that were to be used
upon her and to be told their uses.
The injury had occurred through the
fall of a saddle-horse on which she
was riding while at her country home
at Rye the summer before 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
erywhere 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 Paris,
there to get a trousseau and secure a
passage homo. Ami here comes in
the sad part of the story. The steam
er had a tempestuous voyage of eight
een days. In the midst of a hurri
cane the young lady attempted to go
on the upper deck. She fell, crushed
her hip, was confined to her berth for
the last nine days and was unable
even to see the beautiful harbor of the
city she loved so well. Arriving Jan.
1, 1866, the very day that she had
looked forward to when she would be
receiving the congratulations of Ker
friends, she was taken in ah amUT
lance to the house of At Janim R.
Wood, where a held.
Another encephaloid wi« ffeund to
have developed itself and aH hope was
abandoned. Yet such wjjher vitali
ty and cheerful '-mid untold
agony that she not only lived for six
months, but buoyed up the rest of tht
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 ol
morphia, belladonna, hyoscyamiis lu|>-
ulin and even chloroform was freely
made use of in the vain at tempt to re
lieve the intense paroxyisms of pain.

“Good evening, Tommy. Is your
sister Clarissa at home?"
"Yes, sir; she's out in the kitchen
popping corn for you.”
‘•Popping corn forme? Why how

“Yes. sir. She said she was going
to put a pan of pop-corn under your

Something besides corn was popped

Herat.
The eyes of the civilized world arc I
now directed to Central Asia. Within
the last ten years the Russian armies :
have over-run the vast plateau from
which issued the Aryan race, the same
mighty breed of men which has from
time to time repeatedly conquered the
rest of the world. A study of lan
guage has proved that the Hindoo and
the European have come from one
common stock, whose birthplace to-day i
is controlled by the forces of the Czar.
From its base on the Caspian Sea the I
Russian armies have marched steadily
southward, until now its outposts are
within striking distance of Herat.
This is one of the most important pla- I
cos on the map of the world. It was
contended for by tire m'ghty armies long j
lieforo the beginning of recorded histo- i
ry. This is shown by its defensive
works which are ot great extent and
magnitude, but of the construction of

waves of Aryan inva
sion moved southward, Herat was first !
seized, as it was the key to the mill- \
tary possession of India. Should it ,
fall into the hands of Russia, that I
event would mark the beginning of the
end of British rule over Hindustan, j
Weak as she is in a military sense ■
compared with other nations. Great I
Britain would risk a war with any j
other power against heavy odds rath
er than allow Herat to come into pos- :
session of the Muscovite. The war ;
may be postponed, but come it will,
for Herat is of vital importance to
Russia from a trade point of view. :
That city is now the gateway through I
which pours the commerce of Great
Britain with Central Asia. British
goods worth thirty million dollars arc
annually distributed to those parts of
the Asiatic continent now under the ;
dominion of Russia. This great trade ’
the Muscovite authorities would like
to secure for their own manufacturers.
Hence every consideration of power
and interest impels Russia to obtain
possession of the gateway to the In
dies. The country about Herat too is
exceedingly fertile, and would support
an army of a hundred thousand men.

Curtains and Shades.
I 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
) nltra-aasthetic articles.
Where there is an ugly view to be cov
ered the lower part of the window may
f be made out of stained glass, and a thin
- silk gauze of bright color should hang
from the upper sash to meet it.
A window without a curtain is like a
picture without a Irame. 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.

It may be taken as a sign of the times
! and the beginning of a reaction in the cry
i for educating the masses, when a lady
: can advertise for a servant woman and
receive two replies from New England
girls of excellent mental attainments,
i One of these girls told this lady she
I ringed for a quiet home, and was pre
pared to work hard to keep a roof over
: her head. She was refined and well ed-
• ucated, coming from an excellent family
in Maine; she had tried to earn a living
i by teaching music and singing in church;
i but the strain on her nerves to live de-
I sently could not be borne longer, and
; now she determined to ente/ the sei vices
<>f a family, and do her duty there in a
self-rqsjiecting manner. After some
questioning as to the privileges to be ex
pected, she replied that she desired em
pl yment, but as she could not associate
with other servants as friends, she claim
ed only the customary “day out," and
:togo to church Sunday afternoon. The
; young lady was immediately engaged,
i and the good fortune of the bargain is
i mutual up to this date. A home rather
