Gould’s mansion on the northwest,
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh
street, says a New York letter to the New
Orleans Picayune, is a plain-looking don-
ble brown-stone house, the interior of
which is literally palatial. There are half a
million dollars’worth of paintings ou the
walls, and the furniture and decorations
are of the costliest description, The
suite on the second floor, occupied by
the heads of the family, consists of hod-
room, boudoir, dressing-room and b ith-
room, decorated chiefly in pale blue nnd
silver. Across the hall, Miss Nellie, the
only daughter, has a similar suite in pink i
and white. On the third floor there is a
study and a large nursery for the three
small boys, Edward, Harold and Frank,
whose tutors arc paid $2,000, $4,0 *0 nnd
$1,800 a year respectively. George
Gould’s apartments are on the same
floor, while the servants occupy the
floor above. The butler receives $1,000;
butler’s assistant, $400; Mr. Gould’s
valet, $600; head cook and assistant,
$1,500, and housekeeper, $1,000 n year.
Two laundresses, two chambermaids, a
parlormaid, two waiting maid*, two la¬
dy’s maids, nnd two kitchen girl3 are
paid from $15 to $20 each per month.
The food in the servants’ hall is entirely
different from that of the family table.
Mrs. Gould spends two hours a day with
her younger hoys, and they read only
what has been inspected by her. Since
she joined the F rty-second street Pres¬
byterian church several years ago, she
has been liberal in religious benefactions.
Miss Nellie, a graduate of Mme. Reed’s
famous school, is perfecting herself in
musie at a cost of $50 per lesson. She has
an allowance of $5,000 a year for her
wardrobe. The Gould stable, on Forty-
fourth street, is ahtndsome building of
brick, with brown-stone trimmings and
plate-glass windows. Six horses are kept
in it during the winter, and a closed car¬
riage, a landau, "and two coupes. The
staff consists of a coachman, two foot-
inen, two grooms nnd two stablemen,
and their wages range from $45 a month
down. The expense of keeping up the
stable is $6,000 a year.
Mr. Gould’s country scat at Irvington
was considered by its original owner,
George Dawson-Merritt, the most attrac¬
tive, elegant, and thoroughly equipped
summer residence in the country. Mr.
Gould paid $200,000 for tho property in
18$0, and it is now worth $1,000,000,000
ot if low-estimate. The house is Gothic
-in style nnd "is 3.000 feet from the Hud-
son river, commanding a magnificent
view. It has twenty rooms above the
basement. On the second floor is a fine
art gallery, extending the entire depth of
the house. Mangold, the steward at
Irvington, has been in Mr. Gould’s em¬
ploy over twenty years and receives a
salary of $2,500. The lawn about tho
house is ninety-five acres in extent, and
the macadamized road lending to the en¬
trance is a quarter of a mile long. There
are in the estate 610 acres, 200 of which
are wooded. The livo stock consists of
twenty horses, as many cows, a drove of
Southdown sheep, a lot of blooded fowls.
Eighteen men are on the place constantly
and in summer the number is nearly ono
hundred. The hot-houses and conserva-
tory cover a space 900 feet long and 450
feet wide, and with their contents arc
valued at $250,000. At a fair estimate
it costs Mr. Gould $880 per day to keep
up his Irvington place. The taxes on it
amount to $250 a month.
Mr. Gould paid $100,000 for his steam
yacht Atalanta, and to run tho same co6t3
him $750 a month for wages, $200 a
month for coal, repairs, etc., and $800 a
month for general expenses when he is
aboard with his family. Besides the fif¬
teen sailors and five officers forming the
°rew, there are four cooks and a baker at
$40 a month each, with two waiters, a
valet, a lady’s maid and a parlor maid.
There are separate dining-rooms in the
yacht for the family, the officers and the
servants and sailors. Breakfast is served
from 6 to 11, luncheon at 2, tea and ices
at 4, and dinner at 8. George Gould’s
allowance before he attained the dignity
of partnership with his father was $10.-
000 a year. His young brothers have $5
a week apiece for pocket money.
Pay of Preachers.
A merchant once asked Dr. Lindsay
Alexander the amount of his anuual sal-
ary. His question was answered. Then
he said: “Is that all you get? And what
do you do for that?" “In the first place,”
said Dr. Alexander, “I compose and
write what would be two pretty thick
octavo volumes-about as much as any
literary man, bending over his pen, thinks '
of doing, and more than some do—in a !
year. In the next place, I have to do as j
much speaking every week as a lawyer
the bar in good practice. Then in the j j
third place, to do as much visiting as a j
surgeon in average practice would do.” |
The layman then said: “Well, they may
say as much as they please about minis¬ 1
ters getting too much for their work, but I
none of us would do half your work for j
four times your pay.” If ministers can¬
not be granted adequate salaries, let
them at least receive the credit due them 1
for self-denial and for successful finan- j
ciering .—Baltimore Olserver.
A Friday Tear.
Persons who have a superstitious dread
of Friday will not be pleased to learn that
this is a thoroughly Friday year, It
came in on Friday, will go out on Friday
jmd will have fifty-three Fridays. There
hfc four months in the year that have five
Widuyg each; changes of the moon occuj
five times on a Friday, and the longest

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Hot Corn tor Fowls* 1
A correspondent writes: “If you wnnt
to mako your fowls feel good and thank-
ful give them hot corn for supper—just
as hot ns they can cat it. To fiud out
how hot it should be pick up a handful
and hold it tightly in your closed hand;
if it hums, of course it is too hot, but if
after holding it a minute it makes your
hand feel warm and nice it is just right.
To heat the corn put it in nn iron pan or
kettle in the stove oven and stir it occa-
sloually. If your wHc has biscuit in tho
oven you better put the kettle on tho
back part of the stove and stir tho com
often. Mind now, I don’t mean that
you are to put water in with the corn; I
mean hot, dry corn. If some kernels at
the bottom of tho kettle shouid get
scorched, or even charred, the hens will
C“t it, and it will do them good, too.”
Manure For Plants.
Manure in a liquid form I have never
found t0 bo of any bcneflt t0 young
plants till after the turn of the days, say
the first of February, when it should be
given out sparingly, as the plant will not
tako it in large quantities ; ns the plants
get oldor they will tako more in propor¬
tion. Any good manure is useful for
making it. Fresh cow droppings, one
peck to fifty gallons of water, thorough¬
ly dissolved, amd let stand till clear be¬
fore using, is good. Let the plants be
fairly dry before applying it. Sheep and
chicken manure are also excellent for
the same purpose, but must be used in
much less proportions, say three-fourths
loss than cow manure. Guano and
blood manures are also good by the way
of change, for plants of nearly all de¬
scriptions, particularly roses. Under
artificial cultivation, these arc greatly
benefited with a change of food after
tho plants have absorbed the food which
the soil naturally contained .—American
Fiorist.
How a Pasture Is Made,
In Great Britain, Holland, and in
some of the best dairy district in this
country, land is selected for a pasture as
it is for any particular crop. Regard is
paid to its adaptability to produce a
large amount of fine rich grasses. The
soil or sod is Parcel to receive the
seed, which is selected with special ref-
1 erence to the production of grass to be
eaten while it is in its green state. Great
pains are taken to render the soil as pro¬
ductive as possible. Water is supplied
or drained oil ns the wants of the land
require. Weeds and bushes are extermi¬
nated or kept in subjection. Fertilizers
are applied as they are to land devoted
to cultivated crops. Loose soils are ren¬
dered more compact by the use of the
roller,'and very heavy soils arc loosened
1>J the employment of tho harrow or
scarifier. Most farmers in this country,
however, neglect all these things. Land
is not selected for a pasture. If it is too
rocky, broken or difficult to cultivate; if
it is too wet or dry to produce good
crops of corn, grain, potatoes or roots, it
is devoted to pasturage. Land is selected
for other purposes, but the land for
pasturage is what was rejected as un¬
suited for any other use. Sometimes a
pi ece °f l Rn, l originally productive is dc-
j vo ^ cd pasture purposes. If this is the
case it ' 8 generally after it “has been
cropped to death.” It is first planted to
corn for several years, then sown to
grain for a period equally long, and then
' idd down to grass suited for mowing
purposes. After the crop of grass be-
comes so light that it scarcely pays tor
wor k °f cutting, the farmer concludes
*hat the only thing he can do with the
* and * 8 devote it to supporting stock
durin 3 the summer, which he expects to
make the most out of them - There are
no evidences of beneficent design iu most
of the pastures in this country. They
are tho work of chance or neglect.
Vitality of Seed..
Tho vitality of seeds is an important
question nowadays, for it is unprofitable
and discouraging to plant seed, which
do not grow. Some of the Agricultural
Department seeds in years past, and
many of those kept over at the stores
from year to year, are too old. The life
of garden seeds is not like that of a
grain of corn or wheat. The smaller
seeds often germinate and perish before
the plant has developed stalk and roots
to gather norishment from the earth and
air. Then, too, the shallow planting
allows the seeds to perish for want of
moisture. <• The moro delicate the seeds
tho finerpiust be the soil and the greater
the care iif planting. The rule is to
plant and sof then pack with the foot or a
boards thn$» tlie^o il .v.-ltl-ycst dry out
before the seen hu* g-ajui id struck
foot, if*who is cnrbfufq^4BL liieiting
and having the soil warm’nnd .flrte, wid
not have to complain so much about
seedsmen.” Seedsmen, as a
cla * s - arc honorable raen ’ The mu1ti -
tude of men dealing iu their seeds, wl^o
know nothing about the nature of seeds,
play the mischief with the seedsmen’s
reputation. Some of the grocers and
grocers’ boys who handle seeds don’t
know that seeds are ruined by getting
damp and mouldy. They don’t know
that a beet seed cann- A be kept as long
as an onion seed, Cr that one seed may
not be kept as long as another. Every
package of seed should have the date of
its production, and every catalogue
should have a table telling the number of
years each kind of seed may be safely
kept. Buyers would thus have means of
knowing something of the value of seeds
offered them.
The seedsman who will adopt tho plan
selling his seeds in packages on
which is printed the year the seeds were
grown, also state “good for” one, two,
five or ten years, will be a public bene-
factor. He protects his own reputation
and the pockets of buyers of his seeds,
The middlemen may object, but garden-
ers i farmers and honest seedsmen would
all be gainers.— Cultimtor.
Ttie Care of Horse*.
A Massachusetts farmer recently said
at a stock ruisers’ institute in Boston: As
a rule the horse requires about two per
cent, of his weight in food daily, a 1000-
lessening the quantity when standing
idle. The horse’s stomach being the
smallest known to comparative anatomy,
ho should have his three meals a day.
Do not feed a horse as you would a cow,
iwT; zsTJ*
owners™ "corn is^ot^n , i i Tood7or i
owners. Corn is not a natural ihiral food for
the horse; it is too fattening, and a fat
horse is not a useful horse. The street
car horses of Boston arc well fed, and
last better than the average horse on the ,
farm. Thirteen miles is about the extent
of a day’s work for a horse that is in
harness seven days in the week, and tho
car-owners have learned this, and do not
try to exceed it. Any man who attempts
to make his horse do more than this and
follows it will fail. In driving on the
road it is speed that kills. Driving five
miles in ten minutes less time than it
ought to take gives pain and shortens
life. Some horses eat like some men—
too fast. He had an unpatented method
for curing the habit; keep a peck of cob- j
ble stones in the manger among which
the oats are poured, and the horse will
require time for separating the grain
from the rocks. He had tried to induce
n Boston f millers to f introduce t , rollers „ into . ,
their mills for crushing oats, but thus
far without success. Crushed oats make

Water should be given little at a time
and often. Most horses drink mom
than they need, because they are allowed
to become too dry or too tired. A tired
horse may be trusted to eat, but not al¬
ways to drink.
ilufon-nearing.
Mrs. L. Harrison, in the Prairie F<v-
mer, gives her views of the modus oper-
ancli of queen-raising. Persons who have
kept bees for any length of time have
noticed that some colonies whose condi-
tions are the same as the remainder of
the apiary, produce moro honey than
others. These colonics are the ones to
breed from, if honey is the object in
view. If a colony is deprived of its
queen, in six hours tho bees will be con-
structing cells to raise another. Worker
eggs, or larvae not over three days old,
are used for rearing queens. Some breed- !
ers claim that the best results follow
when the bees have access to eggs only,
Bees seem to prefer to raise queens on
new white combs; such a one should bo
given 7 to the breeding ® colony, and placed 1
rn the centre of the hive; holes might bo
ent >n .t, making convenient edges for
the bees to attach their queen ifdel cells,
so that they J can be easily ' y removed ’ ^
sirable to do so. On the third day this
comb should be given to queenlcss bees,
and they will immediately commence en-
larging cells On the twelfth day, if it

cells should be removed but one, as the

moving the queens to a nucleus as fast as
hatched. Those w-ho have not a conven-

and ..... give them to nuclei,previously , . . , form- ,
ed long enough to have cells of tlieir
own. We have had cells destroyed by
giving them to newly formed nuclei, but
never lose them if they have cells of their
own. To save the time of inserting cells
we often wait until the bees have eaten
off the outside covering, showing that

move the cell with adhering comb, so
that it will fit between the frames of
honey, placing point downward, and in
a short time the queen is out. We pre¬
serve cells with variations; sometimes we
place them over cages, similar to a cover
of a tin pepper box, only the tops arc of
wire cloth; and again cut out cells and
put them into cages (made of wire cloth
by rolling around the broom handle, with
stoppers at each end), and place them in
the cluster. If young queens are intro¬
duced when they are only a few days old
they are generally well received.
