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.

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.—> Graphic. The True Significance. 'Angelina—“Mamma, dear, do you understand anything about the language of flowers?” Manima—“No, love; why?” Angelina—“Why, Mr. Snoopkins has just sent mo a lovely bunch of Jacque- minots, three dozen, at least; and I wanted to see what the significance of it is.” L ofeeling brother “I can tell you, sis; it means that Snoopkins is around to-day trying to borrow from the other fellows. ^— fiambler." 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 i popular , “preserve” .. „ or pickle ?,, was seen on 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 ™ rietios > Rmi thpse are especially recom- \ mended for conserves, being of mild, pleasant flavor. Tlie Plum, or, as it is most frequently called, the Pear tomato, ^ or riiade of difference is too slight n °rice, is likewise represented by both 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. Tribune. 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 the Cincinnati orchard there does not grow a choicer fruit than the bretzel. Bretzds are ripe at thi 3 season of the year, and are toothsome at all periods, Thcir advantage over the apple lies in tlie fact that they do not decay. To the average citizen of Cincin ati they are preferable to oranges or bananas, because t ' le 5' are 8ilu P ly (lt),icious ’ wit h beer. It has been stated that the bretzel is as.c- ond cousin to the Wlener-wurst, but this has been officially denied. The bretzel can stand any amount of wear and tear and knocking about with¬ out becoming brui-sd and mellow, and without losing any of its famed juiciness or rich flavor. The winds do blow and the dust and soot do settle on his bretzels, but that makes r.» difference t > the boy, the bretzels or purchaser. He (the boy) sells them a dozen for five cents, and the coat of sand and soot added to the salty nnd of the fruit is said to improve it. In the beer hals the bretzel boy is in his glory.
