AN IRISH FAIR. Characteristic and Curious Scenes at Tuam. Vendors of Cheap Clothes tnd Peopls Engaged In Selling Pigi. Fun at the fair of Tunm is not quite up to all that is claimed of Donnybrook in its palmy days, says a correspondent of the New York Timet, but for an American who wishes to pursue ono great branch of westward emigration to its sources it is curious enough. Around the ancient cross of Tuam, with its weird figures in high relief of Chist and cer- tain Apostles and its Celtic decoration in low relief on tho shaft, composed of interlacing ribbons, around this ancient cross aro tho vendors of cheap clothing and beyond them the country people who have pigs for sale. The clothes peddlers aro at the hardest sort of work making an auction of their stock, if auc- tion it can bo called. For instead of beginning at a moderate price and aug- menting they begin at a high price and come down. The doscent from 10s. to 7s. is rapid, but when they get to 6s. and 5s. their agony is touching. The most dismal women, facing each other, wail a ballad with much quavering and drawl, while knots of fresh-faced elderly dames, in brilliant pettico ats, caps, and big cloaks or shawls of plaid stuff stand by their wares, generally from two to five well washed, combed, and clipped grunters. Big pig* and little hogs, pink “ciacklings” aud tawny “shoots,” sleepy monsters whose owners have a smirk of self-satisfaction and held themselves proudly aloof, and scrawny porkers of whom the master is wistful and ready to bargain with the most unpromising— these are scattered about the square and three streets debouching on it. Since 6 o’clock the animal which in its American variety Bismarck abhors has lifted up a clarion voice in expostulation with fate. The country people are generally clad in the costume which has pas ed away in most parts of Ireland, for here is the heart of Connaught, terminus of a branch railway, and Irish is spoken on all sides. Lean and wrinkled men wear the caubeen on their heads, but do not stick their pipes in the hat band aa of yore, proba¬ bly because the caubeen is an old “stove pipe” hat, the band of which is too tight. Their swallow-tail coats are made of na- five frieze, (pronounced here fryze,) their breeches of corduroy, stockings of heavy knit stuff, andshojsof unblacked leath¬ er. Some wear boots, other leggins. Such an old man is a sight to behold when trying to humor a flock of sheep through the crowd. His lean arms flap, bis knees bend, his face works in the most persuasive grimmaces, and from his lips come floods of imprecatious and cajoleries. The cattle arc sold in a big field on the outskirts of the town. The great space is brown, flecked with black, as one looks across thc cows and steers minded by men, boys, and women. There is no tethering and no placing inside rails. The district is too primitive for that. Tho steers jam together in close herds with their heads inward, greatly deject- ed, and here and there a cow must be rounded in by many thwacks of a cudgel. The fame of the Irish forearm when wielding a shillalah must have arisen from a constant practica on the backs of cattle in a nearly pure agricultural land. Now and then a whole herd is bought, and the purchasers and their friends ex¬ tricate it and get it on the road. Then it is worth seeing how the brown and white spotted mass of cattle flows down hill, charging thc up-coming crowd of people. Before runs one band of ex- cited peasants trying to keep the herd back. Behind is another, flourishing their sticks with a wild light in their eyes, as if coming from some “cattle spoil” with the booty they have lifted. Give them spears, bonnets, and plaid and a scene from the old days before tbe discovery of gunpowder passes before vou. Faithful as the Fickle Sea. A young man and a young woman lean over the front gate. They are lovers. It is moonlight. He is loath to leave, ns the parting is the last. He is about to l o away. She is reluctant to see him depart. They swing on the gate. “I’ll never forget you,” he says, “ana if death should claim me, my last thought will be of you.” “I’ll be true to you,” she sobs; “I’ll never see anybody else or love them as long as I live.” They part. Six years later he returns. His 6weet- heart of former years has married. They meet at a party. Between the dances the recognition takes place. “Let me see,” she muses, with her fan beating a tattoo on her pretty hand, “was it you or your brother who was my old sweetheart ?” “Really, I don’t know,” he says, •‘Probably my brother.” The conversation ends .—Pioneer Press. A Mas cal Hen. I J. G. McDonald, of Portage, Wis., owns a musical hen. The hen delights to steal away to the house of a music teacher adjoining Mr. McDonald’s resi¬ dence, and at odd times while the music is going on has succeeded inlaying an egg under the sofa or some other equally unusual place. The other day the music teacher heard notes sounding from the piano, and go¬ ing into thc music room preceived this curious inhabitant of the henhouse walking up and down the ivory key¬ board. tumbling out thirds, fifths und eighths to her henship’s great de- light. As the tinkling melody leaped forth the hen curved and arched her neck from side to side in apparent delight, and clucked in a musical way. FOR THE FARM AND HOMg, Ilo.e I’olator* lirow. Most seeds grow by first absorbing j moisture, then swelling and putting forth a germ and roots to sustain it. Hence they require some dampness in their seed bed. But the potato is not a seed. Its first nutriment is from the starch stored in the set ami planted with it. Hence not only is dampness not es- *entia! to starting potatoes but it is even detrimental. If potatoes are covered with dry earth they will come up quicker than they will if covered with that which j is wet. This is partly because dry earth in the same temperature of air is warmer, When a potato has been cut the surface of the wound must dry over before the eyes will start. If planted freshly-cut in very wet ground potatoes often rot, es- pccially if this is early while the soil is cold. But as soon as tho germ is above the surface, or even before, fine roots start from the base of the eyes and catch¬ ing hold of tho fine soil soon do away with dependence on plant food stored in the set. If the soil is rich and in fine tilth the seed may be safely cut much smaller than where it igpior and cloddy. — Cultivator, I.Idle Waste*. Manure, the farmer’s bank stock, in liquid form flows away to the stream anl is lost. Old machinery, in which arc many good bolts and screws, are al. lowed to rust out in the field. In an emergency, he drives an overworked horse to the nearest town or shop to duplicate an article that should have been preserved from the old one. He fails to keep his tools in perfect order, and in haying time, when the weather is threatening, a tire rolls off, a bolt is missing. And down comes the rain and up goes the tcmp.r. The missing shingle is never replaced, and a constant leak finds its way to the grain bin and then he growls because his wheat is docked for dampness. Odds and ends of lum- berreraain where the last job is finished, curling up and becoming worthless in the hot sun. Good tools often keep company with the perishing boards. The weaklings of his herds and flocks are allowed to remain with the strong until they droop away and die. This man tells a continued story of bad sea¬ sons, weather too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, taxes too high. No in¬ tellectual shadow falls across his pessi¬ mistic path, and he never reaches the goal of the successful farmer .—Farm and Live Stack. Feed for Butter. It is not necessary to feed oily food for a large production of butter. On the contrary nitrogenous food mixed with selected food rich in starch and peculiar- Iy well flavored fatty matter is prefer- able, It is a fact that oils taken into the digestive apparatus arc largely ab- sorbed directly by tho blood an l are carried, without change, into the milk, thus giving to the butter a flavor like that of the food. But when peas, bran, malt, sprouts, and other food rich in nitrogenous eloments, and fats which havo an agreeable flavor, are used with cornmcal or other starchy food, the whole is thoroughly well digested, and pass into blood and the milk in a changed form, and not directly. The butter is thus of a better quality than when oil meals are fed. The selection of food for dairy cows is a matter for the greatest care, and also for individual experiment. A good mixture of food for cows used for making butter is 109 pound of peas, or Southern cow peas, 200 pounds of corn, and 260 pounds of fine wheat or rye bran, all ground together. To eight quarts of this meal may bc added four quarts of thoroughly soaked malt sprouts and one of cottcn seed meal for a full daily allowance, divided into three feeds for a large full milking cow.— N. T. Timet. The Care ot l*a»tlire,. At a farmers’ convention held in New York Hon. Lewis Harris said: I have heard it remarked many times that it cost more to summer a cow in pasture than to winter her, hut 1 have never kept a stri t account so a. to be able to decide the question. But I know that our pastures are usually neglected, If wo have a..y manure to apply, it is usefl on the arrable laud and not on our pastures. Then in fencing our farms we fence ofl the poorer parts and then make an average of fencing for the whole farm. I don’t exactly like the principle of soil¬ ing, preferring to send my cows to pas¬ ture . In suggesting points for the im¬ provement of pastures, I would say, first: If there are any mud holes in the pasture I would say tile-drain them. They will then be the most productive pait of the farm. Another improvement is to break up the droppings of the cattle about the 20th of October. Break them up with a stable hook and then go over the ground with a harrow. Also top- dress the pasture late in October with horse manure. There should be a hurdle fence to surround that part of the land that is newly broken up for pasture. Y would sow two hundred or three hun- dred pounds of ground bone on any piece of land that I was going to seed down to pasture, In taking from the soil a pound of milk the cow takes a piece of phosphate of lime as large as a good sized pea, and in sixty pounds of milk she will take sixty times that amouut. Now we must find some way of putting this buck, and ground bone is best for this purpose. I would sow for seed a mixture of fourteen pounds of orchard grass, ten pounds Kentucky blucgras9, twelve ' pounds meadow fescue, and six pounds each of meadow foxtail and of redtop. This ma y eeem a g 00( j fl ca l. A half a crop of grass is worth more than a little grass- seed. These grasses are all deep rooted aud least affected by drought, and will gj ve a succession of food. I’m not in favor of clover in the - ^ ~.g it has j too much water in it. I also regard tim¬ othy as the poorest pasture grass on ac¬ count of its bulbous root, which is easily pulled up by cattle grazing close. When you sow these grasses keep the cattle off the ground the first season, because some of the grasses are weak when young. The tread of cattle is always an injury to growing grass, but it is unavoidable. If you take tho cattle off by Oct. 20 and break the droppings as I havo described you will keep the grass in good condi- tion. I would turn cows on to the pasture early in the spring, as soon as tho ground is firm enough not to meach. They know when they want to get out, and will eat the rank early grasses well. They will crop it evenly, and will keep it so all summer. Some men never take their cattle off in the fall, and there is nothing worse for a pasture than this eternal grubbing of roots in tho fall and in mild winter weather. Dairy and Mock Topic*, The best butter is made on the old pasture. Ityo bread is a common feed for horses in Belgium and Germany. Sprinkle salt upon the back of a lamb to induce a sheep to own it. The butter supply can be increased by frequent stirring of the cream. Tho cows should be milked as “regu¬ lar as clock-work,” as to the hour, and in precisely the same order, each day. Keep young pigs dry and warm. Clean pens and dry beds are necessary; damp¬ ness causes mange, which stunts the pig. A flagstone floor is the best for the dairy; wood, cement or brick absorb drippings, and the floor soon becomes foul and odorous. A Maine man says the way to start an obstinate horse is to take him out of the shafts and lead him around until he is giddy. The last month of an animal’s life has great influence upon his flesh, because the feeding during that period largely dct«™i. e .the ll.vo,»„d <i».lity. Stock needs salt, and it is a matter that should be looked after. Many cases of colic in horses and hoven in cattle are caused by J a deficiency J of a supply ^ J of .. c Tho small mess of milk furnished by one cow may be far richer than the larger quantity obtained from another cow. And it is the butter yield that is the best test of a cow’s value. Horses will go eight and probably ten hours without food if properly fed at evening and morning. They should have water more frequently, but never when hot. The root crops for swine should con- sist of a variety; the farmer should grow not only beets and turnips for them, but parsnips and carrots also. The cheapest pork is that made by securing rapid growth on roots and grass. A mixture of skimmed milk, buck- wheat bran, and cobmeal with good corn fodder should be very good feed for or¬ dinary occasion, but in fattening an ani¬ mal, an evenly balanced food is not wanted, but one rich in carbohydrates, and cornmeal bran and corn fodder would be the best. Hou§ehoid Hints. In washing bedsteads use strong brine or hot alum water. Wash grained woods with co d tea, wipe dry and rub with linseed oil. Beat carpets on the wrong side first, then on the right side. Spots may then be removed with ammonia and water or ox-gall. When hard-finished walls have been calcimined the soiled coats should bo washed or scraped off before a new one is put on. When drain-pipes or other places get g our or impure they may be cleansed with lime water, carbolic acid or chloride of lime. Jlecipes. Ham Croquettet .—One cup of ham, two cups of potatoes, ono cup of bread crumbs, one tableepoonful of butter, and one egg. Make in balls, roll them in bread crumbs, and fry in hot fat. Omlet ,—Four eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, and one and one-lialf tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix the whites and yolks together, and add a little salt and pepper, and turn into a buttered spi¬ der. Fish Moolie .—Take some fried fish, two tablespoonfuls of cream, a dessertspoon- | ful of butter, three or four onions, green ! chillies (when they are to be had), apiece of ginger, and two or three tablespoon- fuis of vinegar bod for ten minutes, then serve. This is an excellent breakfast ! dish. Qreen Com and Peach Pudding .—One cup of the pulp of green corn, which is obtained by cutting the kernals with a silver knife and pressing out tbe pulp with the knife, being careful that the kernels aro not loosened from the cob,one cup of sliced ripe peaches, crushed slightly, two tablospoonfuls of sugar and ono cup of water. Mix thoroughly, put in an earthen pudding dish, placing thin slices of peach on the top. Bake from twenty minutes to half an hour in a mod- erate oven. Serve cold. Taking Hfm Down.

Artvertis ng by Balloons. The practice of using balloons for ad- vertising is likely to become a nuisance and a danger. Lord Ellenborough, in Pickering vs. Rudd, 4 Camp. 219, threw out a doubt whether a balloon, in pass¬ ing over a man’-. land, committed a tres¬ pass; but in Kenyon vs. Hart, 6 B. <fe S. 249; 34 Law j. Rep. M. C. 87, Lord Blackburn said that he understood “the good sense but not the legal reason of the doubt,” and there need he no hesita¬ tion in saying that a balloon in thc air may commit a trespass. Probably, thern- fore, thc neighbor of the owner of a cap- Uve balloon which infringes his bounda- ry is entitled to an injunction, and if he takes no step, in process of time his neighbor will obtain nn easement for bis balloon. Such an injunction was grunted gome years ago in the case of a captive balloon which was drawn up and down f or the entertainment of passengers in it, Apart from the qilegtion of trespass, if aD y substantial annoyance is caused, a baHoon m ay be enjoined as a legal nub sauce .-London Public Opinion.

But at what part of the river she was sunk was never definitely set¬ tled.' At the time she was supposed to have considerable money on board, as usual with Spanish war vessels at that time. About fifty years ago a company was formed in Philadelphia here and New York, and parties came out for the purpose of finding the wreck arid recov- ering the money supposed to have been sunk with her, but whether they ever succeeded in finding the wreck or money is not known. The wreck is certainly that of an old war vessel. Everything about her shows it. The preservation of the wood is wonderful .—Savannah Kern Mrs. Ferdinand Ward.
