A PEPPERMINT KING. Account of a Unique Industry of Wayne County, N. Y. A Small Area Where Seven-Eightha o' the World's Peppermint is Eaised, Along tho banks of tho Garnngua River, which flows through the southern portion of Wayne county, N. Y., may be seen large fields of green-colored plants about eight inches iu height ex¬ tending over an extensive area. To a botanist rrentha peperita is the name by which it is known, but to tho world in general it is peppermint. In this small area seven-eighths of all the peppermint in the world is raised. The low, mucky land is plowed in the spring. It is then laid off in furrows oightcen inches apart, and sets, portions of old plants, aro planted closely together in the row. This is done early in April; tho roots are transplanted every other year. It takes about eight square sods of roots as they lie upon the ground to plant an acre. The roots that are planted this year, after thc crop is gathered, will bo transplanted in every other row for next year’s crop. The first year’s crop is al¬ ways the best, because thc plant is then freest from weeds. Usually they are al¬ lowed to run only two years, after which the ground is ploughed under. When the plants have grown to about two and a half feet in height they ri¬ pen. begins the The harvest usually in last of August It is cut like clover, with a cradle, and raked into cocks, when it is allowed to wilt a little before it is taken to the distillery; the process of distilla¬ tion continues until the last of October. The plant is brought from the fields in large wagons and tightly packed in steam-tight vats; the steam is let into the bottom of the vat, and the oil from the plants volatilized. The oily vapor and steam pass through a condensing worm into a receiver, where the oil, be¬ ing lighter than water, iB dipped off, and is then put up in tin cans,holding twenty pounds, and taken to tho refinery of H. G. Hotchkiss of Lyons, where it is refined and put into twenty-one-ounce bottles, eighteen bottles in a case, labelled and shipped to all parts of the civilized world. Mr. Hotchkiss is justly styled tho “peppermint king.” “The average crop per year in Wayne county,” ho said, “is "tmtween 80,000 and 100,000 pounds, and yields on an average about twenty pounds to tho acre iu a good season. Seven-eighths of the whole crop in the world is raised in Wayne county, and that principally in the towns of Lyons, Arcadia, Palmyra, Sodus and Wolcott. A large proportion of the oil is exported. “Oil of peppermint lias many uses. It is used for medicinal purposes in general; is an important agent in cholera. It is also used in flavoring confectionery and in perfumes, essences and peppermint cor¬ dials, the Tatter being a favorite drink with Europeans. It is used as a house¬ hold medicine all over tho world, and for childrens’ complaints is unrival¬ led.” “How much of the oil do you handle?" “More than three-quarters of the crop laised’in this county, and more than any other one man in the world. I have been in the business since 1839 and had a varied experience. In 1879 the yield was the largest ever known, aggregating 150,000 pounds. This year it will be hardly one-third of that. “The market is now at a standstill, owing to thc uncertainty of the growing crop. Last year’s crop is nearly all marketed. The average price paid for the last three months has been from $3.75 to $4 per pound for the crude oii. Iu 1879 it was down to $2. I have known the market to jump $1 per pound in a single day. “One farmer last year brought into our refinery a common sleigh-load, which was found to bo worth $4000. You can see from this how much money there is in peppermint .”—Buffalo Ex- presi. _ Big Crabs. On the island of Madagascar large white land crabs are very common, and afford considerable sport to good riders, who follow them on horseback along the beach and endeavor to kill them with long poles used as lances. San Francisco possesses two of the largest crabs in the country. One is in the co'lection of Woodward’s gardens, and the other is a strong card for a neighboring “museum” that pictures the unfortunate decapod as overturning a boat and embroiling a crew of sailors in universal ruin. The crab itself is about twelve or thirteen feet across from the tip of one outspread claw to that of the other, and presents a truly formidable appearance, and is a remarkably fine specimen. The Woodward crab is some¬ what smaller, but equally striking. A specimen in thc Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge and a large cara¬ pace or shell in the Museum of Natural History, Central Park, New York, are the only others that I know of in this country. Tho thirteen-foot crab alluded to would astonish the average crabber, but specimens of these spiders of the sea have been caught in Japanese waters, to which they arc indigenous, that spread from the tip of one claw to that of the other twenty-two feet. A friend of mine who lias caught the great crabs in Japanese waters toils nr: that they have a curious habit of leaving the water and coming out upon the beach at night to feed .—San Franc Inca Call.

FOR THE FARM AXD HOME* Bow to Feed lloits. Construct your troughs for feeding hogs, says the Live Stack Register, of Kansas City, so that each hog cannot appropriate more than a foot to himself. Have divisions by means of small fenced yards so arranged that at least threo sizes of pigs can slip under and be divided into three grades and each have a trough toeat from. Now, by pouring swill into the troughs for tiie small pigs they will crowd into there pen first aud be out of tho way of the older ones, safe, eating. Then take tho second grade, and they will all be on nn equality and out of the way of tho still larger ones. In this manner a feeder con regulate the feed and grade his hogs in eating, and manage a large number and have each get a proper share of food, aud not get hurt. Do not undertake to raise your hogs on grass alone. They need at least one car of corn per day" to give them heart and to neutralize the acid arising from eating the grass. A full supply of ashes and salt should be kept in reach all thc time. Charcoal is a great neutral¬ izer of acids. Burnt cobs are good. Remember that clover is full of acid, and a sour stomach soon leads to disease. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" in this case. Care of an Orchard* W. A. London says ic thc Rural Me»- tenger : I find that lime, wood ashes, and old iron put around thc roots of de¬ clining trees, have a very beneficial ef¬ fect. These fertilizers restore the trees to a healthy condition, and also greatly improve thj fruit in quantity. I made the application early last Spring as an ex¬ periment on a Winesap and Neverfail; about half a bushel mixed lime and ashes to each, and dug it in with a hoc some six feet around the trunk, and put tho old iron immediately around the base of each. The trees put forth with renewed vigor, bloomed abundantly, and yielded a good crop of fruit. An excellent wash for trees may be made thus : Ileat :m ounce of salsoda to redness in nn iron pot, and dissolve it in one gallon of water, and while warm apply it on the trunk. After one application the moss and old bark will drop off, and the trunk will bo quite smooth. This wash has quite re¬ cuperative properties, making old trees bear anew. I have tried soft soap as a wash with good results, and also a coat¬ ing of lime in the Spring season, which is a fine specific for old trees. The ques¬ tion is often asked if it is best to manure trees in the Fall or Spring. I have found the Summer season to be a good time; have great faith in mulching, es¬ pecially young trees, for several reasons, after they are planted. Apple trees have two growths during the season— the secondary growth takes place after mid Summer; hence it is that a topdress¬ ing of manure and also coarse litter, fa¬ cilitates the late growth, and often pro¬ duces very marked results in the habit and formation of tho tree. The good effect that mulching has to young trees is that it wards off the intense heat of the sun from the tender roots, aud also has a tendency to hold moisture. A good topdressing of stable manure in the Fall around young trees, with a good many corncobs cast over the surface of the soil, gives satisfactory results. Milkluir t'owi, Inspeaking upon this subject the Pitts¬ burg Stockman says: Milking is nothing short of a flue art, and the farm baud who knows how to milk properly is more valuable to the careful dairyman than any other help. Some can milk a dozeu cows while others would milk half that number, but the careful manager is not so anxious for fust help as he is to employ those who are careful. The operation should never bo hurried, but the milk should be drawn steadily as it flows. Some cows have tender teats and udders, and the rapid milker forgets this in his effort to make speed. A cow that is naturally impatient and fretful does not like to sub¬ mit to rough handling, and her disposi¬ tion is soon ruined by such treatment. As the udder becomes distended with milk tho cow readily submits to milking for the relief it brings. The constant practice of being milked at stated inter¬ vals impresses itself strongly upon her, and she will seldom resist without cause. If a cow that has been patient at milk¬ ing becomes fractious the fault can al¬ ways be traced to the milker. Thc care¬ less dairyman is the one who complains of his cows to keep up the flow, and bloody milk, garget and other evils are almost always the result of his own mis¬ management. Another point demanding attention is allowing cows to stand a long time waiting to be milked, With cows that milk large it is painful when the udders are filled to the utmost and the milker is not on hand to relieve them, and they become nervous and rest¬ less. This causes a cow to dry up pre¬ maturely because nature revolts at her suffering. The cow should also be milked to the last drop; if the last por¬ tion of the milk, as claimed, is tho best, the udder should be left with nothing in it. With rc ularity in feeding, milking and caring for the cows, and kind treat¬ ment at all times, the cow will not only become gentle and stay so, but will give milk longer and her season’s product will be much larger. 11 a cow begins to give trouble in milking proper attention in handling and management will mostly cure the evil. l avm nnct (iardeii IVotes. Regulate the feed cl’ your horses to correspond with thc amount of work they are required to do. Dust melon vines with Paris green or London purple to keep off the bug. Dust with one part of the powder to twenty- live parts of flour. * Watch for the currant worm, and ns «oon as tho loaves appear ragged apply white hellebore—a tublcspoonful to a pail of water—by means of a syringe. Repeat in about a week. When two or three different kinds of grasses are sown together for pasture, many vacant spaces may bo filled up, as each particular variety will find tho kind of noil best adapted to its vigorous growth, the consequence being that tho sod will be the thicker. The problem of farming consists in mak¬ ing the soil increasingly fertile. Manure is tho farmer’s saving bank, and if more of them had largo heaps of it every spring to spread upon their land, instead of money at interest, they would prosper better in the end. Soiling crops demand the very richest ground. It will not pay to cut and gather a poor crop to be carried to thc barn and fed while green. If the land is not rich enough to produc t a maximum crop, let stock gather herbage for them¬ selves until enough land can bo got into suitable condition. Barnyard manure may be imitated by thoroughly composting with a cord of seasoned meadow muck, or some substi¬ tute, sixty-five pounds of crude nitrate of soda, two bushels of wood ashes, ono peck of common salt, ten pounds of fino bone meal, two quarts of plaster, and ten pounds of Epsom salts. The best ground for a peach orchard is a light, sandy soil that has been planted for several years with general crops. Do not plant on ground rich enough to pro¬ duce onions, peas, spinach or lettuce, for trees will be liable to make a late autumnal growth, and produce unripe wood that will bo winter-kil.ed. Profitable bee-keeping greatly depends upon a gathering up of the fragments, that nothing be lost. Fragments of time cau be used in caring for bees, fragments of lumber in making hives and frames, fragments of comb for wax; and every drop of honey is useful; even though mixed with dirt, it can be fed to needy colonies. The work of caring for beans comes just af the busiest harvest season, and this crop is therefore apt to be neglected. If delayed till after harvest it is too late, and the vine cannot be disturbed with¬ out injury. Yet the work in hoeing beans, if done at the right time, saves an equal amount of labor when they come to be harvested, besides the advantage to the crop. The soils best adapted for the potato aro sandy and gravelly loams. C.ay soils, especially if the season be wet, produce poor potatoes, with a tendency to rot. An old pasture turned over or any sod ground, is well fitted for potato growth. A little well-rotted compost harrowed in thoroughly upon such sod will usually give a fair crop even upon poorish soil. Fresh stable manure should not be applied, as it results in a di¬ minished yield and increases tendency to rot. utigeliold Hints Oil of ia* nder will drive away flies. Grained wood should be washed with cold tea. If meat bakes too fast cover with but¬ tered paper. To remove tea stains from cups and saucers, scour with ashes. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor it night destroys cockroaches. They eat at and are poisoned. To prevent hunpwicks from smoking they should be soaked in vinegar and then thoroughly dried. Cold sliced potatoes fry aud taste bet¬ ter by sprinkling a tablespoonful of flour over them while frying. Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where ants congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is also good for mice. To clean unvarnished black walnut: Milk, sour or sweet, well nibbed in with an old soft flannel, will make black wal¬ nut look new. Rub the nickel stove trimmings and the plated handles and hinges of doors with kerosene and whiting, and polish with a dry cloth. lt«ceipts.

In some pints of France betrothed ladies wear a scarlet bow on the left shoulder. In some parts of America they wear a green beau on the left and right shoulder, alternately. The reason why coachmen are so pop¬ ular with the ladies need not bo sought very far. Barnum’s baby show of twenty years ago awarded the first premium to a coachman's baby. A Boston woman cut her dress from a pattern in a magazine dated 1870 before she discovered that it wasn’t 1886 and it took three doctors to tide her over that long, lonely night. A squaw refused to marry a Canadian Indian, and he took her scalp—a lock of her hair, as it were. She then married him, and it wasn’t long before he hadn’t hair enough for a scalp lock. A timid Bostonian had married a lady whose weight verges up to two hundred pounds. “My dear,” said he to her, “shall I help you over the fence?” “No,” says she to him: “help the fence.” “Is rr fair,” asked Mrs. Easy, “to allow your husband to attend a fair with some other fair, and pay her fare? ” "Hardly fair, and if it was my husband, Bhe’d fare hard,” responded Mrs.Gripem.

At the end of last October, a Paris correspondent says, a landslip occurred at Chaucelade, in consequence of which a quarry befow fell in, burying a number of workmen. For some days afterwards sounds were heard, and smoke was seen issuing from the quarry, which it was believed came from a fire lighted by the men as a signal. Some time, however, elapsed before any explorations were un¬ dertaken. At length passages to a cer¬ tain distance were opened, but no vestige of human remains could be found. Further investigations were subsequently made, but with a like result, and the conclusion arrived at was that the bodies must have been crushed by the falling rocks at a retched. greater distance inward than could be Not satisfied with this conclusion, however, several of the victims’comrades resolved a few days ago to attempt to penetrate into a portion of the quarries which they judged not to have been suf- ficiently examined. The result was that two bodies were found, together with the clothes of at least five men. Among them were those of a man who had gone into the quarry after the disaster in search of his sou. The intricacies of the approaches seem to have been such that this man was unable to find his way back and conduct the men entered. through the passages by which he had The emaciated bodies found appear to have been gnawed by rats. What has become of the bodies of the other men whose clothes were found is not known. Two skeletons were found lying at full length with the faces turned towards tho ground The engineers are severely blamed by public opinion for not exercising greater promptness in their attempts to rearh the interior of the quarry, and the magis- trates have opened an inquiry on the subject. It is certain that air was not i excluded from the quarry, and, there- fore, that the men died of starvation.

This distinguished soldier, late of the Egyptian army, previously of the Con¬ federate, and originally of the Cnited States army, died lately at his residence in Fredericksburg, Va., aged seventy. painful Ho had suffered for years with a and wasting malady, and death came to him as a rescue and a friend. Henry II. Sibley was horn at Natchi¬ toches, La., July, 1816. He was gradu¬ Point, ated at the military academy, West in 1838, and served with distinction in the Florida and Mexican wars and in the Utah and Nevada expeditions. At the breaking out of the rebellion he had been promoted to be major of the 1st Dra¬ goons. On May 13, 1861, however, he resigned and entered the Confederate army. After the collapse of the rebellion he where went his to conspicuous Mexico and thence military to Egypt, ability at once secured him a high position in the khedive’s army. IIo was one of that brilliant galaxy Rliott with W. W. Lori rig, Thomas G. and others, who exiled themselves after the downfall of the cause in which they were engaged, and who in the prime of their powers and the ripeness of their ex¬ perience, lent prestige to the arms of Egypt. Rhett died, Sibley soon fell a prey to disease and had to seek an asylum and at home. And now, after long weary years of suffering, intensified by poverty and want, the broken old man, once so gallant and so gracious, turns his face to the wall forever. General Sibley was the inventor of the tent by his name, and at the time of his resignation from the army in 1861, held a contract with the government by virtue of which the United States is to-day very largely his debtor. He has never been able to obtain a recognition of his claim, or even secure the privilege of submitting it to judicial inquiry. plunged He lay a bed-ridden invalid for years, in direst poverty. He died, leaving a penniless and helpless family. his credit But in the tho thousands standing to treasury, representing many times that amount of profit derived by the govern¬ ment from his invention, have been de¬ nied him, and we assume will be with¬ held from his successors. There will be many of the class of 1838 to recall the brilliant and dashing young Southerner, and to breathe a sigh over the pitiful close of a career that be¬ gan under such brilliant auspices.—AT.
