TOWERS OF SILENCE.
The Parses Method of Dispos¬
ing of the Dead.
The Bodies Placed on a Grating in the
Tower and Given np to Vultures
Colonel Floyd-Jones writing from In-
dia to the Military Serrict Journal, gives
an interesting description of the "Towers
of Silenco" near Bombay, and the Parsce
mode of disposing of the dead. The
Parsec is a devoted fire worshipper, and
most of tho prayers arc offered morning
and evening, facing tho sun. It is per-
baps in consequent of this belief that
he is so careful in preventing the p< Uu-
tion of the other elements, and that after
death his body is placed in an open tow-
er, usually on some eminence, where it
is devoured by vult res. These open
sepulchres have been appropriately named
the "Towers of Silence.” In every Par-
See dwelling house there is an aperture
in the upper or sleeping story, which is
usually covered by a grating; but when
a member of the household dies, his body
is placed on a bier and lowered through
the aperture to the ground floor, where
it is cared for by a set of priests called
Neor-ser-sala, or death men, who pre¬
pare the body and clothe it entirely in
white. Before the body is removed from
the house, however, the forehead is
smeared with a species of clarified butter,
or "ghee,” and the dog of the house is
admitted. Should the animal lick the
butter, it regarded as a good omon of the
departed’s future happiness, but its refus¬
al would signify perdition. The death
men have no contact with the world at
large, and on no account are they ad-
mitted to the house, as their presence
would pollute it. Hence it is that the
body is lowered to them, in order to
make their entrance unnecessary. A pro¬
cession is then formed, the friends of the
dead following the priests to the Towers
of Silence, on Malabar hill. Arriving
at the entrance of the grounds, the body
is taken in charge by another set of
priests, with long beards, who carry it
tc whichever of the five towers may be
selected by the last set of priests. The
body is taken through an aperture in the
wall of the tower and deposited on a
grating. There are three sets of these,
one for men, signifying good deeds, one
for women, representing good words,
and one for children, indicating good
thoughts. The clothing is then removed
and torn into pieces, after which it is
is thrown into another tower and the
bodies exposed to the vultures. In a
few minutes the birds have stripped all
the flesh from the bones. Everything
about the grounds is kept as neat as pos-
sible, and flowers grow in pretty gardens
near the entrance. It is very curious
th .t a religion, which otherwise contains
much that is elevating should counten-
ance amode of bu.ial at once so unnatu-
ral and repulsive.
Entertaining the Governor.
Governor Pierce and the other territo-
rial officers are making a trip in southern
Dakota. Yesterday morning they were
in Watertown. They are staying at the
leading hotel when a citizen of that place
called to see the Governor, He was
shown in and said:
4< Governor, „ I - see _ you are making .. a
visit to this part 1 of the territory.” J
“Yes, sir.”
al g’pose s pose you’re you having having a a prettv pretty good good
rime.”
“Yes, I have enjoyed myself so far.”
“I calculate they try to entertain you
at all the different cities you visit.
* ‘Ub, ye 9 , each place has made it very
pleasant for us.”
“Of course, and Watertown ain’t going
to be outdone.”
‘I suppose not, itis a very enterprising
town.”
“You bet it is, Governor. And I’m
going to do my share, too. Now, I’ll
tell you my scheme; I’ve got a horse tied
down at the door that’s deceived lots of
good ... judges on ,. his age and . to . make , it .

A Happy Thought.
Young wife to husband—I don’t see
how we can get along this way much
longer. Bills come in every day that we
can’t pay, and I am worried to death
about them.
Husband (discouragingly)—I’m sure I
don’t see what we can do. I have been
on the wrong side of oil for three months
now, and couldn’t buy enough crude
stuff to blow me up if I had to pay cash
for it.
Wife (happy with a bright idea)—We
might fly to Europe.
Husband (admiringly)—That’s just it.
What a clever little woman you are. j
knew we couldn’t swim there, the walk
would be certain to be too damp, and
we have no money to pay for a steamer
passage. Now, you have suggested the
very thing. Suppose you get the wings
ready to-day, and PH hustle around and
procure feed enough to carry us over.—>

FOR T1IE FARM AND HOME.
fiheep Manure.
The value of any manure depends upon
the kind of food which the animals have
eaten. Cows for instanco which have
been fed upon straw, cannot make
manure which would contain any more
fertilizing properties than the straw, and
in fact it would contain less, because tho
cow had used some of the most valuable
elements of the straw for her subsistence,
So if sheep had been fed upon straw or :
cornstalks their manure is of no more !
fertilizing value than these arc, but it is I
true that the finely broken and partly di-
gested matter is more easily decomposed
than tho coarse straw, and hence tho
manure is moro available. But when the
sheep have been fed upon rich food, as
bran, corn, and linseed meal, the manure
becomes much richer, and from its finely
comminuted condition makes the best
kind of fertilizer. It is exceedingly
vnluable for corn, because it is rich in
all the elements of plant food which corn
requires and is so rapidly available. We
prefer to plow it under in such a way
that the subsequent harrowing mixes it
thoroughly with the soil.—Afiw York
Time*.
Care of the Team.
It is astonishing how little care some
farm teams get. They come from plowing
orharrowing, all dusty,sweaty,ami with
skin worn off in places, it may be, by
hard harness that does not fit. Into the
stables they go, and the curry comb and
brush scarcely ever touches thorn, and
as for washing off the dried sweat and
j rubbing them down, that is never done.
| They go into the field iu the morning,
j perhaps they have been watered nnd per¬
I haps not, and they arc compelled to wait
j until noon time, when, if allowed to
j drink, they will take more than is good
for them. It is only humane to manage
some way so that, on the hottest days,
i the work-team may have more frequent
j opportunity to drink than once at niorn-
; iug, noon and night. In respect to feed,
let it be cut hay mixed with meal. It is
most economical; horses will do best on
it and work the hardest. It is an error
to feed horses all the hay he will eat.
Make up the deficiency in grain, and, if
oats are fed, twelve quarts per day is as
| much as a horse can digest well, and,
| unless they are digested, of course they
! do no good. Above all, feed regularly,
and do not over feed, Oil the other
hand, do not expect a horse to do heavy
work on light rations.
Culture of Corn.
A Pennsylvania farmer says: A great
mistake often m ide is that of ploughing
too deep for this crop: if the young roots
have to go down far to reach the sod, the
plant will start slow and be stunted at j
the beginning. In my neighborhood the
. one-horse planter or drill has come
into general use, it puts one kernel in a
place, giving the corn plenty of elbow—
i room, besides the advantage of the fer-
tilizer attachment, by which any strong
fine manure can be applied in the hill
(by simply running it through a common
sand screen), nnd thus help gr . atly to
start a crop. For the last year or two,
as soon as the seed is well sprouted anti
j firmly rooted, we go over the rows with
hand-rakes and lightly rake the surface
before the corn is rightly up; and then
j 0 llow with the two-horse cultivator as
| soon firt0n as possible. After Aft „ r whifth which W( we , rake r ,. k „
» nd cultivate ^me about till it becomes
too large for the rake, and is not easily
j covered with clods; but the cultivator is
kept going as steady and long as possible
and not injure the caring out. In this
way we are able to keep the weeds from
starting at all, leaving the field olean for
future use. And our experience is that
all seeming extra work is found to have
| | paid when the corn is measured in the
fa.il. I recommend a trial of the rake;
it loosens the soil around the young
stalks; will not tear them out; besides
it saves the back-aching job of hoeing.
The Small Tomatoes.
Soon after promotion of the tomato to
position ... most valued , , garden ,
a among f. es-
; culents , the ,. miniature , varieties
were
I , brought prominently to notice, and , in
the .. good , old ,, gardening . days ,
i no more

the ... farmer’s table. ,, An occasional com-
. “sweet pickle,” toothsome
promise was 1 a
relish ... partaking ... of , the characters of both
the other forms. There has been no
change in these pretty little varieties of
late years, but they arc almost unknown
to the majority of tomato growers. Sti 11
they possess decided merit in the way of
re.iability and great productiveness; in
fact, during a disastrous season when the
large solid kinds have rotted badly the
small varieties presented a mass of per-
feet fruit.
The most curious nnd at the same
time most ornamental of the latter class
is properly known as the Currant tomato,
with fruit very little, if any larger than
the cherr y currant. Next in size is the
Cherry tomato, with both yellow and red

most frequently called, the Pear tomato,

yellow and red, and these appeared to be
| the most highly prized by our ancestors.
A size yet larger and entirely globular is
very appropriate for salads, as the firm
texture of the flesh is unexcelled. In
this class are several new introductions
of decided merit ,—Croppic in N. Y.

Ralslug Deduce.
Among the common salads there is
none in such general demand for the ta-
b le as lettuce. It is an easy grower, and
j y C t it needs for its best development a
good soil anJ careful culture Lettuce
is too often treated as a subsidiary crop,
and is sown too thickly in seed beds and
i grown too thickly together. The let-
tuce bed should always, where possible,
be set apart from ffie rest of the garden
in some wnyso that it may be cultivated
Freely without disturbing other vegrta-
bles,* Not only should the soil be mel¬
low, deep and highly enriched with ma¬
nure, but it should hare full exposure to
the air, with perfect draining. In the
opinion of Mr. AVilliiim Earley, an au¬
thority on the kitchen garden, those
who would secure a fine growth of let-
tuce should give their chief attention t i
its culture in the early summer or in the
nut unin months. The heat and aridity
of moderately dry summers too generally
hurry its growth into flowering and the
sccd form. To secure the autumn crop
a sowing should be made during the sec-
ond or third week in July, choosing
cloudy or rainy weather, if possible. Ft r
main crop tho seed is usually sown by
market gardeners in the open ground
about the middle of September, and
transplanted to cold frames as soon as
large enough to handle, being wintered
over in the same manner as early cab¬
bage. Plants have been known to come
out in the spring perfectly fresh from
need sown in the open ground in the mid-
die of September. Lettuce is . a plant of
comparativcly tcndi r growth, and unless
care is taken to promptly destroy all
weeds it may be quickly choked up
as to be worthless. The kinds best to use
arc those known as black seeded Simpson
and salamander; the one is a curled
leaf variety, the other is plain or smooth
leaved ’ and forms a solid head ’
SaDfloB-fr Culture*
AV. I. Cook, of Castile, N. Y., writes
as follows to the Cultivator : I desire to
call the attention of your readers to the
value of sunflowers to every cultivator of
the soil, especially to poultrvmen. Con-
sidering its value, the sunflower is the
most neglected plant in this country.
It is a plant that will thrive almost any-
where, and on any soil that will produce
beans. After a long nnd successful ex-
pericncc in its culture, I am satisfied
that the sunflower is a most useful plant
and may be utilized in several ways. As
a food for fowls it has no superior or
even equal, adding great brilliancy to
the plumage and promoting vigor and
iiealth. For feeding live stock also it
will produce very satisfactory results.
This plant is of great value in purify-
ing the air in localities where malaria
abounds. It is entirely exempt from the
attacks of noxious insects. When
thoroughly uried thu stalks make the
best and cheapest kindling wood in such
districts as Kansas, Nebraska and
Dakota, where fuel is scarce and dear.
In some sections in the above State sun-
flowers are grown by the acre for the
purposes of fuel. In Europe, " especially
j n Russia, the manufacture of oil from
gunflower seeds is a leading industry.

Household Hints.
Do not let coffee and tea stand in tin.
All the mending should be done once
a week if possible.
Linen rags should be carefully saved,
as they are extremely useful in sickness;
if greatly worn, scrape them into lint.
Apples intended for dumplings should
not have the core taken out of them, a 3
they impart a delicate flavor to the
dumplings.
