JAY GOULD. How the Great Railroad Spec¬ i ulator Lives. j The Cost of Maintaining bis Oity an! Oountxy Establishments. if?. _ j 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 and shortest day of the year falls on a ,/riday. 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 tho best , , f feed A I in the world 11 4 fora 1 horse, wnnlfl Hn in ilnmonrl • it if wrA/mrokln procurable, Watering immediately before or irarae- diately after eating is bad for tho horse.

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 lsiesnaie o prc= i\c ic queens, all cells should be removed but one, as the first one that emerges will de- ThMc who make a *]>e- cmlty of rearing queens remove tbeframo to an incubator and examine it, often re- moving the queens to a nucleus as fast as hatched. Those w-ho have not a conven- ience of this kind can cut out the cells ’ 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 .h Bq u r ^.oo.b.„„ t ,„a,„e. «. 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. Household Hints.
