I’OPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
GREEN VOUSE WALLS.
The wails of a greenhouse should be
made of stone, brick or concrete, and all
the woodwork of Southern hard or pitch
pine. If built of such materials a house
will last fifty years or more. When the
walls are of wood they soon decay, owing
to the constant moisture and heat. By
coating the wood with crude petroleum
it may be made to last a few years longer
than when used in the ordinary way.-r-

A BOYLESS FARM.
It has been said that a farm without a
boy would soon come grief; but what
place would not come to grief without
him? Who is it that “does the chores”
and the bothersome errands? And what
boy ever amounts to much who is not
‘aught to do tne chores well, and in
time, and to do errands in an exact way?
It is business every time, and fathers
should remember that their methods are
noted and copied by the boys, and if the
hatchet, spade or rake is left to rust un
der the tree in the yard, he thinks that if
father does it it must be all right.—

HATCHING UNDER THE HENS.
As eggs become plentiful prices drop.
It is best to use all that can be spared
for hatching. It will bring profits later,
when young chicks command top prices.
If hens are used for hatching, experience
has shown the wisdom of providing clean,
comfortable nests. A dark, out-of-the
way place is the best. A breeder of our
acquaintance is uow T watching over six
hundred sitting hens, under each of
which thirteen eggs were placed. It re
quires attention to give such a family of
incubators the comforts necessary to
make them faithful. A close, steady
sitter is Ihe result of providing a clean
nest —using insect powder to keep clear
of vermin, which not only make the hen
restless, but the chicks, when hatched,
are eaten up before they are a month old
Dust the hen under the wings and body
before allowing her to sit, and then keep
her penned up a day or two. —American
Agriculturist.
BEANS FOR FARM STOCK.
In one of his recent essays Professor
Long, of England, states that beans are
Dne of the most valuable crops of the
stock farm. To the dairy farmer ten
acres of beans, if the crop is a good one,
is, when we consider the value of the
straw, quite equal to SSOO worth of lin
seed cake, and would probably produce
more milk. But beans are useful for all
kinds of stock, supplying as they do, a
larger proportion of flesh-forming mat
ter than almost any other farm crop.
The Profesor adds that the manure which
is most effective in bean growing is
potash, and he strongly recommends that
where wood is plentiful and is largely
consumed by burning upon the farm, the
ashes should be saved and drilled in or
plowed in with the seed beans. Failing
this fertilize r, which is recommended on
account of its cheapness, kainit may be
used, or, what is better though more
expensive, muriate of potash, which
usually returns a sufficiently large yield
to pay a handsome profit to the grower.
Beans are usually drilled or dribbled, but
shore crows arc troublesome the plan of
plowing may be adopted with success.—
Yew York Independent.
A FEW SIMPLE DOG REMEDIES.
Simple remedies are the most efficient
in ordinary ailments. From different
causes, the skin of a dog becomes harsh,
becomes scaly and cracks, causing much
discomfort and unsightliness. For such
troubles, have within reach a simple
salve made by mixing equal parts of flow
ers of sulphur and lard free from salt.
The lard is first melted,and the powdered
sulphur well stirred in, when the mass is
removed from the fire, and constantly
stirred until cold, to thoroughly incor
porate the sulphur. This salve well
rubbed in every day for three days, when
the trouble first appears, will usually
prove efficacious. To get lid of fleas,
which are a troublesome nuisance, use
snuff. It is much better than the soaps
made for the purpose. tSpread an old
sheet on the ground, place the dog on it,
and then carefully dust or rub in the
snuff, little by little, on every part of the
body. Soon the fleas drop off, curl up
and die. One application, if done thor
oughly, will do the work sufficiently for
several weeks. For very young pups,
this application may be too severe, as it
gets in the eyes and mouth. For such
youngsters, we used good Persian insect
powder, well rubbed in. When the young
puppies are troubled with worms, mix a
tablespoonful of gunpowder in a pint of
milk. This generally clears out the
worms without in any way impairing the
general health of the animals. —American
Agriculturist.
ABOUT MOVING BEES.
If the beekeeper wishes to move his
bee colonies a short distance—less thau
half or three-quarters of a mile—ne may
do so with slight inconvenience. Fixing
our grounds last season, we had to move
ours twice, eight or ten rods. We did
this just at nightfall, after they were
done flying. The first day we move
about half of them, taking each alternate
colony. In the new position we placed
the entrance facing the opposite direc
tion from that of its previous position.
We also drove a board into the ground
just, in front of the entrance. The new
position of the hive as to points of the
compass, and the new object in front of
the hive, caused nearly all the bees to
mark their new position and return to it.
The few that went back to the old place
joined the colonies still there, and
strengthened them. After the bees first
moved had had a good fly,we moved the
others, at similar time and in similar
manner as before, only leaving fourco -
pnies, one in each quarter of the old
place, to receive any bees that might re
turn. Soon these four were moved, and
so far as we could see, we suffered no loss
or inconvenience. The point to be ob
served is so to change the aspect about
the hive that tke bees when they come
out will note the new surroundings suf
ficiently to charge their memories; then
they will come back to the new home,
and not to the old one. Changing from
open ground to a grove will accomplish
this. —New York Tribune.
OLD COWS FOR BEEF.
Immature young cattle produce beef
which does not possess the fine qualities
and firmness of that from fully matured
animals, while that from old animals is
usually tough and undesirable. When a
cow has passed her age of usefulness she
is generally turned into beef, but too
often in such a way as to make the beef
both poor m quality and exceedingly
tough and dry. There is a way of
remedying this in a great measure, and
one which farmers can adopt. AVhen an
old cow is sold to the butcher he pays a
very low price for her, but we invariably
made use of such animal on the farm,
and almost every year we slaughtered one
animal of this kind for our home use.
When we had decided on butchering
any particular cow, we took her in hand
two or three months before we wished
to slaughter her, our first step being to
get her down as poor as possible without
injury. As soon as this was accom
plished, we commenced the work of fat
tening, and pushed this as fast as it was
possible to do it. For the first week o t
two we had to accustom her gradually to
rich food, after which she was fed three
times daily toward last, and all she
could possibly consume and assimilate.
Corn, in its different form, being the best
and most economical fat-forming food,
was the principal food, with just enough
other and coarser food to act as a dis
tender and to keep the animal in good
health. In a few weeks we had a fat
animat, which, when killed, produced
fine beef, the quick fattening rendering
the flesh tender and juicy. —National
Dairyman.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Good pure water should always be
provided summer and winter.
Feed liberally, but not in excess of
what the stock clean up nicely.
Skill in breeding and in feeding is the

best of full bloods.
Keep the calves in good order with
ample food properly prepared, and they

that full crops every year.
Mr. E. G. Fowler, of the Orange
County Farmer, urges those who have
given the garden scant attention in the
past to just try having a good one this
year, “and see how it works.”
Some fruits will not bear an extension
of their season. Peaches and water

\ GREAT DAY IN RICHMOND.
UNVEILING OF GEN. LEE’S
STATUE.
distinguished generals and many
VETERANS IN LINE
The scene in Richmond, Va., on Thurs
day in connection with the ceremonies in
cident to the unveiling of the Lee eques
trian statue, was unprecedented in the
annals of that historic city. From early
morn till night the tap of the drum and
the tramp of soldiers forcibly reminded
older citizens of the stirring days of 1861.
Never were there so many people gather
ed within the gates of the city; never
were decorations so elaborate; never were
there so many old veterans and military
organizations on the streets ih time of
peace and never was there sUch genuine
and general enthusiasm oVcrany event. It
was truly a confederate day, however,
as the presence of many confederate
veteran camps and the airs played by
the bands pertaining to the lost cause
fully attested, and this Was emphasized
by many manifestations of delight that
they brought forth from the crowds all
along the line. The house of the con
federacy and the governor’s mansion,
though not in the line of march, were
attractively decorated, and General Lee’s
residence, on the most fashionable thor
oughfare of the city, was beautifully
adorned and specially honored by the
passing commands, the colors of the va
rious organizations being dipped, while
in many instances heads were uncovered.
CHEERING THEIR OLD GENERALS.
Generals Early, Longstreet and Fit*
Lee received a perfect ovation, while
many other confederate leaders were
greeted With enthusiasm. General Gor
don, Wade Hampton and Governor
Fowle were not recognized so readily as
their names, but when they passed an
old confederate organization to whom
their faces were familiar, they were lus
tily cheered. The Fifth Maryland regi
ment and '"derails and the New York
delegation of southern veterans attracted
more attention during the entire march
than any other organizations in the pa
rade.
The scene along the whole route, from
beginning to end, was a memorable one.
Although the most extensive preparations
had been made to receive the large num
ber of visitors, ho Ohe expected to see the
host that visited the city, yet they were
all well cared for. It is asserted on all
sides that the parade decorations and
everything connected with the jubilee ex
celled anything ever witnessed in the
south. The parade formed on the north
side of Broad street; from Adams down
to Twelfth street. The line marched,
generally, company front, “ith double
ranks. No saluting was done by the

General AV. H. F. Lee, wife nnd son*,
Bolling and R. E. Lee, nephews; General
Fit '. Lee, with wife and daughter; Cap
tain David Lee, with wife and children,
and Captain Robert Lee.
Upon arriving at the monument, the
veterans faced the grand stand, with the
military behind them and the cavalry
bringing up the rear. Governor McKin
ney called the assemblage to order about
4 o’clock in a few appropriate remarks.
The governor introduced Dr. Minnege
rode, who offered prayer, after which
Genera! Jubat Early was called upon to
preside. He made a brief speech and
presented Colonel Archer Anderson as
orator of the day, who made a brilliant
and touching address.
At the conclusion of Mr. Anderson’s
oration General Joseph E. Johnson
pulled the cord which held the covering
of the statue, and the veil dropped, ex
posing the beautiful bronze work of art
to view, when a mighty shout went up
from the multitude. A salvo of 100 guns
was fired by the First Battalion of Ar
tillery. The assembly then slowly dis
persed, and the troops marched to their
various headquarters and were dismissed.
When the statue was unveiled the
crowd in the vicinity was estimated at
140,000. Those who participated in the
precession numbered 20,000. There
were 70,000 strangers in the city during
the day. A brilliant display of fire
works took place at night, the most
striking features being a representation
of the equestiian statue of Lee, and
pictures of Jefferson Davis and Stonewall
Jackson.
DESCRIPTION OF THE STATUE.
The Lee monument makes Richmond,
Vs., noted as having two of the largest
equestrian statues in the world, the other
being that of Washington. The monu
ment is placed at the intersection of two
140-feet avenues on the summit or as
cending grades. It is enclosed in a cir
cle of 200 feet in diameter, with a street
sixty-five feet in width on each side, so
that the distance through the area from
building line to building line is 330 feet.
The height of the pedestal is 40 feet and
a few inches, and that of the statue
slightly more than 20 feet, making the
total height about 01 feet above the
ground. The sculptor, >l. Mercie, of
Paris, who has immortalized Lee in
bronze, is a Frenchman. He has given
to the world the picture of Lee as he ap
peared upon the battlefield of Gettysburg.
llis face is calm and majestic, but full or
power. The horse which he bestrides
has all four feet on the ground, yet ho
appears as if in the act of walking. Gelt.
Lee's dress is characteristically plain. He
is girt with a sash, which presumably
hides a belt from which swings the sword
of a commander of cavalry. He is with
out epaulettes, but upon the forearm of
the coat sleeve is an ornament of broad
bruid. His hat is crushed in his right
hand, while he holds the reins in his lft.
AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
A TRAIN PLUNGED THROUGH A DRAW
BRIDGE—THIRTY KILLED.
A San Franeisco dispatch says; A
train went through a drawbridge bear
Oakland, Cal., Friday afternobn and
several lives were lost. The train was a
local one, connecting Oakland with San
FrancisCo ferry boats. A yacht had just
passed through the draw and the keeper
cotlld not close it in time. The rond
curves sharply a short distance frbm the
creek, and when the engineer saw the
draw could licit he etosed ih time, he
endeavored to slop, but his train was 100
heavy and he failed. The engine with
the tender arid first car went oVbfhoara
and the front end of the second ('at broke
open and many passengers fell into the
water. The car which had followed the
engine to the bottom soon rose, and Such
of the passengers as had escaped Webs
picked up by yachts and other boats
Which gathered at the sCene. The cat
was towed into shallow water, a hole ciit
in the roof, and thirteen bodies trtketi
out. The engineer and fireman both
escaped. ,
A HORRIBLE STORY.
PARENTS CHARGED WITH HAVING STARVED
THEIR CHILDREN TO DEATH.
A dispatch from Columbia, 8. C., says:
A shocking story has been brought out
at an inquest on Saturday over the body
of a little child in Union county. It was
the last child of a family of five and it
died under suspicious circumstances,
which led to an inquest being held. Its
parents were poor country people and
small farmers. The evidence at the in
quest showed that the five children had
been practically murdered by their pa
rents. When a child was sick it would
be left in the house by itself, the parents
going into the field and leaving the in
fant without food or attention of any
kind. In this manner the five children
have been killed. The physicians who
nttended the inquest testified that the
last child had died from starvation and
lack of attention. The parents were ar
rested and jailed.
ABOUT COTTON.
AMERICAN SPINNERS CONFRONTED BY A
VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The New York Star says: “The ad
vance in prices has carried cotton far
above a price at which goods can lie
profitably manufactured, and the Amcri
cak spinners are confronted by a very
serious problem, if they continue to run
their mills upen the present
value of the raw material. Man
chester, during the recent excitement
in silver, apparently executed an amount
of fresh business which will prevent any
resort to short time, and the position now
presented to the trade is whether the cal
culations as to the prospects of the new
crop will counterbalance the scarcity of
American cotton at inesent prices.
A CASHIER’S THREAT
TO EXPOSE PROMINENT CITIZENS AS IMPLI
CATED IN HIS SHORTAGE.
A Binghampton, N. Y., dispatch ol
Tuesday, says; In the judgment of lead
ing citizens there is a shortage in ac
counts of C. A. Thompson, cashier of
the suspended Oswego National bank,
variously estimated from $20,000 to $75,-
000. Bank Examiner Geteman, of Al
bany, refuses to make any statement and
Thompson is equally noncommittal, ex
cept to declare that if pushed to the wall
he will expose two of Oswego’s most sub
stantial citizens, who are implicated in
the shortage.
PREACHER AND ACTOR
THE STRANGE FREAK OF A NOTED REVIVAL
IST IN TEXAS.
A dispatch of Sunday, from San An
tonia, Texas, says; A sensation has been
created throughout the south by the an
nouncement from Rev. Virgil Maxey, the
noted southern revivalist and Baptist
minister, that lie will go on the stage
September Ist. Behaving been engaged
by T. Stutts, the theatrical manager to
play prominent parts during the coming
season. Mr. Maxey, in an interview,
stated his object to unite the pulpit and
state. He will be on the stage six days
in the week and preach on Sundays.
SWINDLED THE ORPHANS,
THE TREASURER OF THE ORTHANS’ HOME
GOES WRONG.
A dispatch of Friday from Philadel
phia says: It has leaked out that John
C. File, late treasurer of the Lutheran
Orphans’ home, is a defaulter in about
#85,000. File hss been treasurer of the
home since 1872. File had several times
been ordered to make a report to the di

August Meyers, of Independence, has
probably the largest family in this State.
If there are any larger they have not
turned up. He is 52 yearsof age, and his
wife is 47. She has given birth to fifteen
children, seven boys and eight girls.
Every one of these children is now living.
The eldest is 81 years old, and the young
gest 4 years of age. Mr. Meyers has nev
er been called upon to employ the ser
vices of a physician, except when each
member of the family was ushered into
the world. Mrs. Meyers is a healthy,
