Quite a number of horses bave been

A writer in an exchange says: “I

my chicken house last winter, and fouDd

There would seem to. be no end to big
.Tops this year. In the north we have
the largest live stock and corn crops for
many years, and now comes along the
south wuh an enormous cotton crop,
amounting to 4,811,265 bales against
4,485,423 bales in 1877. This is the
largest crop since that of 1859 60, the
greatest < vsr known.
The i Al jwing is on the wing, which
if true, we shall have to tally one for
whisky: Some years ago I was told
that a mellowing drink of whisky or beer
given to a sow that refuses to let her
pigs suck, would induce her to adopt
them kindly. A few days since a neigh*
bor who had worried all night with a
valuable sow, applied for assistance, and
advice being much cheaper and easier
than work, I urged him till he admin
istered half a pint of whisky. It worked
like a charm. She received her eight
little ones with the usual porcine ex
pressions of maternal satisfaction, and
has been a kind mother ever since. Will
the readers of the Rural remember this
and keep on hand the said “half pint; ”
but don’t drink it yourself, it might
have the same effect on your poor self.—

One of the adjuncts to the workshop
of every farm ought to be a set of tools
needed in mending harness, so that the
boys may, on rainy days, learn a new'
trade, and save quite an expends. With
harness, a stitch in time, savesAiot nine,
but ninety-nine more. The essentials are,
two awls, needles, waxed ends, and a
clamp to hold the pieces to bo sewed.
The last may be made out of a couple of
barrel staves fastened to a block, and
tightened by a strap around the middle.
&>me mending will have to go to the
shop; but, in the course of the year,
quite a sum can be saved by merely
sewing up the ripped and torn places in
the harness or padding. We have found
copper rivets, sold in half pound boxes,
of great advantage in mending harness.
Had*inch rivets come into play ofienest,
though a few three-quarter inch ones
may 1 c needed.
Hi's very old mode, among tidy far-
uhh, make their apple orchards look
nice, but which for years has been next
to abandoned, ij coming into vogue
again, and discussions are being held as
to the propriety of it. The German
town Telegraph says: " What we know
about the matter ourselves is, that we
do not think that it makes much dif*
fereuce so far as the health and produce
tivene s of the trees are concerned,
whether they are white washed or not.
In other words, we do cot think it pays.
It certainly has a tendency to close the
pores of the trunks, as well as that it
has an unnatural appearance. So far as
it is declared that the white wash causes
tho old bark to scale off and hiding
places of insects to be disturbed, and
this is about all that is claimed for it;
how much better for every farmer hav
ing an orchard, to scrape the trees once a
year, or only every other year, and fol
low it with a washing of whale oil soap
or eaibolic soap and water, applied with
a short broom This would be sure to
dislodge the insec'.s, open the pores of
tlm trees, and give them a natural ap
pears n?e. Thi3 would do the work
effectually, and leave no room for doubt
or discus-ion. Whatever aid the white
washing of trees may be to their health
and productiveness, the best orchards we
ever saw', which bore full crops for a
generation, were not white-washed, but
scraped and washed with soft soap.”
We frequently come across remon
strances against keeping harness in
stables, the reason given being that the
ammonia prevalent there rots the leather
and s jon destroys the harness. Now this
is beginning at the wrong end to remedy
an evil. We mav talk and adv.'se, “ year
in and year out,” about the matter, but
harness will be kept in the stable in
spite or all. Where else can the majority
of peoole who keep horses hang these
trappings? A, rich man may have a
c’oset in which the harness may hang
safely from fear of ammonia and all other
dangers; but the average horse owneia
will have his peg behind the team, be
cause he can have no other way of dis
posing of the harness. But tte trouble
would end if the production of ammonia
were prevented. Enter an ordinary
stable at any period, but especially in
the winter, when every cranny through
which the wind can come in is carelully
stojsped, and what an offensive odor
ofiends the nostrils and irritates the
eyes. Is this odor of ammonia, strongly
alkaline and irritant, injurious only to
the harness ? What of the horses, and
the teuder membranes of the eye, the
thro it and the nasal passage? Do you
think they are less sensitive than oak-
tanned harness leather, well greased and
preserved as it is? By no means. It
the prevalvent odors injuriously effect
lha leather, you may be sure the eyes
suflar, the throat and lungs are irritated
a d i he nasal passages becomes inflamed.
I hen occuis the irequent moon-blind*
ness, ophthalmia, weeping of the eyes,
followed by inflammation, white specks;
then follow cougbs, bronchitis, pneu-
m mia, heaves, catarrh, nasal gleet; and
bv and-by, when the blood has become
jk i -oiitd by the absorption of diseased
matter from inflamed and suppurated
membranes, farcy and glanders—dreadful
an l fatal to mm or beast, too—resuit.
An j while we think ot saving the har
ness and removing it to a purer place,
t‘it* beast which is worth a dozen sets of
it, is left to rot irom these pungent
cases without any help. Clean the
stables and the harness may hang in
them in safety ; and be sure, if the stable
is not a fit place for the harness, it{|p no
place for the horse. A barrel ot plaster
can be procured for about one dollar.
It is w’orth that as a fertilizer. It is
worth ten dollars as a absorbent of
ammonia, and a hundred as a health
preserver to the horses, not counting the
saving to the harness. Sprinkle it
everywhere, and be liberal with it.—

The average grain product of Europe
is rcpoited at 5,000,000,000 bushels, of
which Russia raises one-third, France
aDd Germany 520.000,000 bushels each
and Austria 500,000,000. The United
States produces 1,600,000.000 bushels
(about the quantity that Russia does),
which, in proportion to our population,
is a much larger production than any
other country can boast of. Counting
our inhabitants at 40,000,000, we
raise 40 bushels per head, and Europe’s
nhabitants at 300,000,000, she raises but
16 bushels per head. Russia has 26 and
Great Britian only 4 bushels per head.
The amount cf grain consumed being
generally 15 bushels per head, we pro*
duce nearly three times as much as we
want, Russia almost twice as much as
she needs, and Great Britian not more
than one-fourth of her requirement.
Thus, it will be seen, that the production
far exceeds the consumption, but the
excess is absorbed by breweries and dis
tilleries, at home and abroad, which,
more than any other cause, keeps up the
price of breadstuff’s.

Why The Women Arc LeftJciiind.
Interview with a Milwaukee Cliaraan.
“ Why,” inquired the Newman, “ if
you Chinamen care so mucf for your
lamilies, and are constantly seding them
money for their support, n you not
bring your wives to America”
“ Too email shoe,” was Mr Ah Lum’s
prompt reply. Then he proetded to ex
plain in a language that theNews man
benevolently translated for .he public,
that owing to the high degre of cultiva
tion which the Chinese womn have at
tained, they would be unsbMo walk the
streets, to drag swill carts, p)w, go into
the lecture field or engage ii the other
occupations which are open tithe soaring
genius of emancipated Amercan women.
Fnrther, we bfush for Ah Dm in men
tioning it, he went on to defare that the
prudant Chinaman was tightened by
the extravagance ot Ametcan women.
Knowing the frailty of the sex, he in
stinctively perceived that the Chinese
women if transplanted hee would at
once adopt the custom of tleir American
sisters. The result woulc be that it
would cost eighty, nay ever a hundred
doliare a month to suppox wives who
now are lapped in luxur; on an allow
ance of five or six dollars i month.
When asked why Chinanan did not
marry American women, Ah Lum, with

Are Moles a Fist 2
Germantown Teleg-aph.
There is a great difference of opinion
as to this question. Our own is that
the mole is harmless as a rale; sometimor
it damages lawus and gardens in pursuic
of its food, which usually is the earth
worm. If it should go through a hill of
com and injure it by looseuing the root
lets. it is still in pursuit of the earth
worm which is in dry times found about
the roots of corn and other vegetables,
grass, &c., more abundantly than else
where. Sj far as our observation extend
we have never known the mole to eat
vegetable matter. It would seem to 1)3
strictly a carnivorous animal. And on
this head here is something to the point:
Mr. Weber, one of the savants of Zurich,
Switzerland, recently examined the
stomach of a number of moles caught in
different localities, but failed to discover
therein the slighter vestige of plants or
roots; whereas they were filled with the
remains cf earthworms. He shut up
several of these animals in a box contain
ing earth and sod with growing grass
and a small case of grub or earthworms.
In nine days two moles devoured 341
white worms, 193 earthworms, 25 cater-
pillais and a dead mouse. Fed with a
mixed diet of raw mt at and vegetables
the iroles ate the mea t and left the plants;
and when the vegetables exclusively
were dealt out to ti em in twenty-four
hours both died of starvation.
Killed by a Meteor.
On Tuesday night last, Leonidas
Grover, who lesides in the vicinity of
Newtown, Fountain county, Ky., met
his death in a way that is probably
without parallel in this or any other
country. Mr. Grover was a widower,
living on a farm with a married daugh
ter and her husband. On the evening
referred to, the married couple had been
absent on a visit to some neighbors, and
upon returning at a late hour, entered
the house, finding everything, to all ap
pearance, in usual order, and supposing
that Mr. Grover had already retired,
went to bed tbems o lves. Next morning
the daughter arose, and having prepared
breakfast, went to the adjoining room to
call her tather, and was horrified to find
him lying upon his shattered bed a mu
tilated corpse. Her screams brought
her husband quickly to the bed room,
and an inspection disclosed a ragged
opening in the roof, directly over the
breast ot the unfortunate man, which
was torn through as if by a cannon shot,
and extending downward through the
bedding and floor; other holes showed
the directiou taken Dy the deadly missile.
Subsequent search revealed the fact that
the awful calamity was caused by the
fall of a metoric stone, and the stone it
self, pyramidal in shape, and weighing
twenty pounds and a few ounces, avoir
dupois, and stained with blood, was un
earthed from a depth of nearly five feet,
thus showing the fearful impetus with
which it struck the dwelling. The po
sition ot the cDrpse, with other surround
ings, when found, showed that the victim
was asleep when stricken, and that
death to him was painless.
Never forget that wrong doing can
not be made to pay in the end. It may
hold out the promise of pleasure or profit,
but shame and loss wiil surely follow.
A Paris “Creche.”
Letter to San Francisco Call.
In the French educational department
is a model of a “creche” in working
order. A “creche” is an establishment
where working mothers may leave their
infants during the day to be cared for.
It keeps during the hours of work the
infant of fifteen days to that of three
years of age. The “creche” is visited
daily by a physician and lady inspectors.
No infant is allowed to pass the night in
one. No infant is admitted if sick.
There are over thirty “creches” in
Paris and several of the suburban towns.
They accommodate from forty to one
hundred infants daily. Some are gratu.
itous, and others require a small fee.
Each “creche” is constructed after a
certain fixed model, and contains a gars
den, covered yard, play room, din
ing room, kitchen, linen room, provision
and toilet room, and cradle room.
The “creche” was first establiehed be
tweeu thirty and forty years ago. i
visited one yesterday. I found it in all
respects as represented—theoretically a
most desirable refuge for a poor mother’s
infant during working hours. Every
apartment was thoroughly neat and clean.
It contained accommodations for forty
children. About twenty were in charge
during my visit. The care of these
devolved upon two persons—a man and
a woman.
Here were fifteen two year olds in the
covered yard. The ground was covered
with mats, on which some were sitting,
sdme standing, and some toddling about.
Of course at this age they couldn’t talk
much with each ether, and the faculties
hadn’t ripened sufficiently to develop
any regular plan of amusement. They
looked like children of poverty and
ciime, but they were neat and clean,
aud all wore pinafores of a coarse check,
which I presume were furnished at the
“creche.” Their condition was certainly
better than if left in ebarge of the next
oldest sister, who grows up one sided
Argonaut Dives.
In San Francisco and other large towns
of California it its said that mau} uf the
married women, past the middle age,
have been the wives of two, three, and
sometimes four or five different men,
owing to the freedom of divorce, which
use*! to exist, and still exists in a modi
fied form, in that state. Women were
in plentiful lack in the days of the Ar
gonauts, and for some time after; and
when one appeared in the community
with good looks, intelligence and mag
netism to recommend her, she was well
nigh fought for. As a rule, the women
who migrated to El Dorado were not o:
the finest. Many of them were more or
less adventuresses, and, seeing their ex.
treme marketableness, enhanced their
. value by very broad coquetry, and dis
posed ot themselves to the highest bid
ders. After securing one husband, they
entertained proposals for another, and
not unfrequentlv slipped from No. 1 to
No. 2, through some legal trick, before
No. 1 had any idea that he had proved
maritally unsatisfactory. It is related
that, about 1853, three members of a San
Fancisco firm had each in turn the same
wife, in the sp&ceof twenty-four mouths.
Some of the most matrimonially enter
prising women in the country journeyed
thither twenty t) twenty-five years ago,
and made their marriage remunerative
by getting settlements cish down before
thetyingof the nuptial knot. The lives of
not a few of them would, if faithfully
chronicled, read like the most sensational
of sensational novels.
Snow Crystals.
From the Hartford Courant.
Snow crystals form very peculiarly.
To the naked eye some crystals average
from a quarter to a third of an inch in
length. The variety of snow crystals is
endless, and a microscopist says that the
distinctive form noticed on Thursday last
has been seldom meet with in his ex
perience. He writes: What particular
state of things it may indicate respecting
the temperature of the upper air, or the
action of the law of polarity which governs
the formation of all crystals, can only be
conjectured. But the formation itself,
in these, as in all snow crystals, is an
admirable illustration of the precision
and beauty ol natuie’s wondrous laws.
That the freezing molecules, the atomic
particles of the vaporous material of the
atmospheie should, in growing colder,
develop so exquisitely this law of their
attracting and repellaut poles, and illus
trate it in forms so delicately, so ethere
ally beautiful and so endless in their
variety, is indeed a study to excite our
admiration at the evidence it affords,
among a thousand concurrent testi
monies, great and small, of the beneficent
intelligence and design which has so evi
dently presided over the constitution of
worlds. Snow crystals area delightful
study and they can be observed with
low magnifying powers to great advan
tage.
A physician’s little daughter, called
upon for a toast, gave : “ The health of
papa and mamma, and all the world.”
But she suddenly corrected the senti
ment : “ Not all the world, for then papa
would have no patients.”
The National Con-plaint.
Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet has
it, and the result is that the number of pseu
do remedies for it is as numerous as Pha
raoh’s host. They are for the most part worth
less. There is, however, a searching eradicant
of this distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to
a foremost place among the 6taple medicines
of America. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters ex
tirpates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude then any known remedy, and is
a most genial invigorast, appetizer and aid
to secretion. These are not empty assertions,
as thousands of our countrymen and women
who have experienced its effects are aware,
but are backed up by irrefragable proofs re
peatedly laid before the public. The Bitters
also promote a regular habit of body and give
a healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.
lsuftineu Failure*.
Lack of judgment causes fully SO per cent,
of t-.ll business men to fail earlier or later.
Do notan eqnal proportion of physicians fail
to cure from the same cause? At the Grand
Invalids’ and Tourhts’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.,
Dr. Pierce, through the skill attained by his
several specialists, each having devoted
years to a special department of medical
science, is able to cure a large per cent, of
cases hitherto considei < d incurable. Many
physicians, in view of he superior advan
tages of this model san tarium, bring there
stubborn, obscure, coni| icated,and surgical
cases for examinations,, iteration, and treat
ment. Full particulars g ven in the People’s
