\ New York btse-keepet report* that his
net receipts from forty-live hives were $913.
It is a good plan to wrap a piece of tarred
paper around the bodies of the trees during
the winter to keep rabbits away.
Italy has over 5,000,0IHI acres of com-
mercial forests, over 0,000,000 of private
forests, and only 500,000 of State forests.
The only remedy for rust on blackberries
is to dig and burn all affected plants at once,
and to renew the same from some young
plantation not affected.
Although we have had hundreds of meth
ods recommended for separating the cream
and churning, there is still room for discus-
sion and improvement.
It coats just as much to make poor but
ter as to make a good article, hence u little
care and patience during the process will
give better results with increased profit.
It is much easier to keep an animal fat
than to fatten it; hence the stock should al
ways by kept in good condition, as they
can be then more readily prepared for mar-
ket.
Tho whitish scurf on the shanks of fowls
is a skin affection known to poultrymen
as “scaly legs.” It depends on extremely
minute parasites, and increases as they
multiply.
Winter wheat doea better on a strong
freshly plowed sod. The soil does not pack
SO hard and tho Bod allows more drainage,
so that the water cannot rot and destroy the
roots of tho wheat.
The Southdown sheep are somewhat small,
but have a great proportion of meat to offal.
They are brown and gray-faced, no horns,
thick, close wool between the cars, with lino
form, and are very hardy.
Hogs givo returns so (prickly that even if
a small profit ia mado on each lot, these
profits can bo made so often and so quickly
that the rearing and feeding of hogs is one
of the most paying occupations on tho
farm.
It requires quito an amount of labor and
care to force Bowers and vegetables in win
ter, but the prices obtained more than com
pensate for the extra expense, while larger
profits aro secured than from snmmer pro
ducts.
Although tho dairymen complain that the
manufacture of butter cripples their in
dustry. the reports from Chicago show that
the shipments of butter from that point
still exceed the receipts by several million
pounds a year.
Reports from dairy factories in Australia
show that their operations are being carried
on with encouraging guocess. Eight cents
per gnllon is paid for milk during the spring,
raised to 10 cents in summer when grass be
comes scarce.
Mice will often attack the beehives in
winter if pressed by hunger, gnawing holes
in them and entering. The torpidity of
the bees in severe weather prevents thorn
from stinging, and the mice often do con
siderable damage.
In breeding stock on the farm do not he
tempted to sell the beat, but dispose of the
inferior animals first, lly careful selection
and retaining the best every year the value
of the stock will bo increased and larger
profits secured.
Compost and mannre should be worked
over whenever opportunity occurs. Any
matter that may be going to waste or which
cun bo bought at a small cost, such os re
fuse from slaughter-houses, breweries, etc.,
may he added with advantage.
It is a singular fact, which experience has
demonstrated, that thj milk end bntter
qualities of cows aro more often derived
from tho male than from the dam. A good
hull will thus cheaply work a revolution in
the valuo of cows bred for the dairy.
Thero ahonhl be good judgment usod in
the selection of breeding fowls. Vigorous
females, as well as males, should he select
ed. We meun by this that the color of
plumage, symmetry and the carriage that
denotes good health should be considered.
Enos Grnbb, who lives on the farm of
Mr. Staves, one mile south of Spring City,
Pa., is the happy o wner of a calf with two
heada, both of which are well formed. The
animal was born January 9, and is in a
thriving condition. It eats with both
heads.
Cleanliness and a vairiety of food will of
ten prevent the spread of contagion among
hogs. Too much grain and an insufficient
supply of bulky food ia more injurious than
many anppose, although tho hog ia seldom
fed with the same care as is bestowed on
other stock.
Mr. Spnnlding stated at the late meeting
of American Nurserymen that for applying
the wax in grafting he naed fine cotton
yarn soaked in hot wax. The yarn ia run
on a big spool, and then thrown into the
hot wax anil left until saturated. For bud
ding young trees in the nursery rows, and
in onler to work low down, he haa the
earth removed from the stocks immediately
forward of the budders, when the bark lifts
easily: bnt if the earth is removed some
hours before, the bark ceaaea ty lift freely.
If the buds bsve been timely inserted, the
thickening of the ssp by exposure causes
them to adhere better to the stock.
“In onler to utilize in the garden the
waste from the house at the least expense,”
says Vick's Magazine, “pot into a barrel a
laj.ro of aoll or aahes, and then the waate
from the house. Keep this decaying vege
table matter covered with an inch of soil or
ashes, using wood or coal ashes. Once a
week in winter, or oftenea in snmmer,
cover with half an inch in lime. The lime
wifi l>e slacking, of course, and should be
kept dry. Early in spring empty the con
tents of the barrel over the garden beds
and apade it in.” We wouin suppose how
ever, the alkaline subetaneo would liberate
the aruonia.
Linseed meal ia laxative, while cotton
seed meet is the reverse. The use of the
former in the feed of horses, 'U g: ven in
small quantities three times a week, will
loosen the akin and greatly aaaiat the ani
mal in condition. A mixture of ‘die two
subetancee, if given to milch cows, greatly
increaaea the flow of mile and ad la to ha
quality. For mothers and breeding owes it
should be used in moderate quantities and
always in connection with plenty of hay or
straw. Linseed meal should he used rather
aa a condition powdee than as a part of the
food, hot cottonseed meal may be fed
more liberally to milch cows ana growing
stock.
In the feeding experiments at tha Kansas
Agricultural College there occurred unin
tentionally a condition that famished s fair
test of the effect of temperature on fatten
ing pigs. Ten PM?* were fed; ntae were
protected, while one chenced to be in a pro
jection of the pen, leering it wholly ex-
poeed. In Jenoery there wee e eerere cold
•pell, end the exposed pig lost exactly out
ponnde in weight, while each of the other
nine that were protected gained in
varying from fire
■niiar
One of tho most surprising gains in flesh
by a homed animal is that of the 6-year-old
Shorthorn bull of A. B. Moffat, of the Le-
Sueur stock farm. On Thursday, the 27th
day of August, we saw the bull bring down
the scales to 2084 pounds, and in the next
issue oi the Sentinel stated that ho could be
made to weigh 2200. Just ouo week from
the first weighing the bull dropped the
scales to 2140 pounds, and in two weeks
from the first, weighing ho low*ered the
scales to 2225 pounds, a gain of exactly
ten pounds per day for fourteen consecu
tive days, and he did not look much flesh
ier than two weeks before. It is proper
to state that ho was fed on steamed food.
LeSeueur Sentinel.
Bone meal is an excellent ingredient to
mix with the Boft morning food, and will
help greatly in forming a large, strong
frame for the young chickens. They should
always be provided with light, uutritious
food in good variety. Corn and other fat*
teniug food should bo saved for winter
use. The old hens, too, are just passing
through the molting season, a serious time
for them. If their wants are carefully at
tended to it will materially shorten the
length of their molt, and they will como
out in excellent condition for winter lay
ing und early spring breeding. They ought
to be separated from the young stock and
old old roosters, and bo allowed a season
of rest, which thoy will appreciate.
Among the agricultural writers tho firm
ing of the seed-bed has become quite the
standard precept, and most farmers who
take to talking of wheat culture mention
this as an important factor, some even
giving this as the final objecj to be obtain

Lonisiana hosliitulity is so absorbing and
overwhelming that a newspaper man, if lie
undertakes to enjoy it, had better lesro Iris
shop behind. They don't even givo a man
time to sharps* his' lead pencil, let alone to
write. The Northern press party have been
on the go since Monday morning. There
has boon scarcely a moment that anybody
could call his own. It has been go here, go
there, and go erery where, until even the
ubiquitous Donan is ready to throw np his
hands. One day it is the Exposition man
agers who are bent on mischief. Then
comes along a public-spirited citizen, who
gobbles np tbe party fora day's tramp; then
it is the ladies of New Orleene who, in all
their dark-eyed glorv, insist upon a peep at
Houthem homes and Southern boned tur
key, washed down by the vintage of their
ancestral land. Bjr the way, speaking of
the “nutive races' of Lonisiana, aa II. H.
llruncroft would call it, I want tossy some
thing of a delicate little treat offered the
Northern horde by representatives of the
Creole families of New Orleans. It took
the form of an impromptu concert at the
Exposition art gallery, and it waa one of
tbe moat delightful episodes of the week.
Opportunity waa there offered, each as rare
ly occurs, of seeing and mingling with the
very creamiest and richest of Creole blood.
The affair waa impromptu and informal.
There waa no stiffness or ceremony, aa ad.
ditional evidence that the old-time excln
■ireness of the Creoles ia passing away. The
concert was hugely participated in by on*
of the oldest of these exclusive families.

A typical example of a class of ceces not
well understood Tiy tho general public-
eases in which arsenic,like alcohol oropium,
is taken as a narcotic or etimuUnt —Is de
tailed by Dr. T. D. Crothors in the Quarter
ly Journal of Inebriety for October. An
English veterinary surgeon and trainer,who
had a greatly exaggerated fear of death, had
commenced tho use of arsenic in the belief
that it would protect him againat fevers.
He had continued it on account of its stim
ulative properties, aud consulted the doctor
only after the ill effects ot tho habit bad
manifested themselves. Up to 188Uhewaain
good health, and did his work well, al
though be was then taking from one to two
drachms oi Fowler's solution of arsenic
every day or second day on account of ex
haustion and “bad foeling." For four years
lie waudered from place to place, doing
service as a trainer and horse doctor, and
daring this time the nBe of arsenic bad
steadily increased, until he was taking three
ounces of Fowler's solution in a day. The
ordinary dose of the drug is five drops throe
-ames a day. He often found it difficult to
procure ao large a quantity of tha solution,
so he commenced to use the powder, of
which he ate fifteen to twenty grains a day.
His appearance nt that time was that of
a man in (food health. His faoe was full,
and tho skin clear and white. The eyes
were brilliant, though somewhat unsteady,
and when talking the facial maacles moved
inordinately. His countenance showed no
wrinkles or markod lines. His walk had
become deliberate and hesitating, and the
sensibility of his skin was diminished. Ue
complained of rheumatic stiffness, which
was v-ry pronounced when he was de
prived of bis usual dose of arsenic. At
times he etc an inordinate arnuuut of food,
and then he won d abstain from eating for
a week or more. For a year hia sleep had
been broken by bad dreams; he would wake
up covered with perspiration, and hia miud
was filled with vague and depressing
team. When he awoke in the morning he
felt a sense of exhaustion and pressure all
over tho body, which steadily grew tone
until the nrsenio was taken. One hour
after taking the drag ell this bad feeling
passed away, and a sense of quiet exhilara
tion prevailed, which formerly had been
marked, but nt last waS shorter and leaa
distinct. Breathing became difficult through
any general exertion before taking the drag,
bnt after taking it no snch trouble was ob
served. Tbe heart waa disturbed function-
ally, and he complained of failure of mem-
oiy and a general indisposition to work.
He was always in doubt as to what course
of a tion would bo best for him to pursue,
and was filled with fears and dread of mis
takes, particularly when the effects of the
arsenio wore away. Even after taking the
usual dose the indisposition to work con.
tinned.
lie was very methodical in his habits, tak
ing tbe drag twiea a day in secret. lie
bathed very often to take away a strong
odor of tho skin, which wns evidently
caused by tho elimination ot tho arsenic.
Ho was known to his companions aa a very
changeable, eccentric man, who, early in
the morning and late in tho afternoon, wns
“hall crazy." These and other symptoms
indicated a general failure of both body
anil mind, rapidly approaching dementia,
At timea he waa alarmed, and wished to
ffvo up the nse of the drag; nt others
he waa different. He told the doctor*
that if be could get this drag always ho
never would abstain, bnt be found it diffi
cult to always keep a supply.
An impression prevails among many
medical men of Urge practice that the se
cret use of arsenio is rapidly increasing.

cases suggests the regularity of its use as a

Th#* Hermit of the Iltue llldge.
ABaleigh, N. C., special says: In cat
ting through a gorge of the Bine Ridge
Mountains, near the Buncombe county line t
recently, a party of convicts, in charge of
Captain W. 0. Troy, at work on the Ash-
ville and Spartanburg railroad, fonnd an
ancient hermitage dug out of the south
side of the mountain, in a secluded place.
It was a rude hnt, constructed with a few
S oles and boards, with one win-
ow with a single pane,
8 by 6, to admit the light. Tne only occu
pants were an old hermit, who has lived
more than fifty years, a large yellow dog, a
big cat, and a raccoon. The appearances
were those of a happy family. In conver
sation with the old man, Captain Troy
found him very ignorant. He never hod
seen a steam engine or a railroad, and was
greatly disturbed because the laborers in
terfered with his home. His bed-clothes
were large bearskins sewed together, with a
beautiful buck hide o» his fancy spread to
use on big occasions. The brackets on the
walls were of immense deer horns, aud the
gun-rock over the door was of the same mo- hM
terial.
The Champion Female Shot Dead.
A Galveston, Texas, special says Mrs.
Matilda Johns Bevensee, better known as
Madame Johns, was found dead in her room
this morning. Tho corpse was in a decom
posed condition, death having occurred
somo time last Monday night, shortly after
she was last seen. Deceased was well known
in southern Texas as the champion feinalo
shot with a target title* some of her perform
ances, despite her advanced age (numbering
nearly fifty years), being remarkable evi-
donees of nerve and skill. Though dyinj
alono and unattended, she was in gooc
financial circumstances, owning several
frame buildings and a shooting gallery.
Death was caused by general debility.

The Hard Fate ot an ll.lrea Who Wedded
Her Coachman.
A New Haven special say*: A highly ro
mantle story, involving the hasty and ill-
adviaed marriage of a wealthy and beautiful
woman to her coachman, baa come to light.
Her maiden name waa Mar)’ Mansfield, Site
waa born in Worcester, and at an early age
waa orphaned by the death of bar father,
who was the disinherited son of n
wealthy planter of L.xington, Kentucky.
She was taken to Lexington, and eventually
became heiress to a large fortune. She
removed to tha East on the death of her
relatives, first going to Worcester and later
on to Hartford. In Hartford she met and
became engaged to a young man > f high
social standing. Shortly before the time
set tor the wedding the yonug woman read
a notice of her lover's marriage to another
woman, and in a fit of jealous rage she
married her coachman, William Whittlesey.
Hhe repented of the step aa quickly as she
had taken it, Whittlesey being vulgar and
Ignorant She lived with him in nnhaiipi-
ness six months, and then offered him
money to set np a livery stable if be would
separate from her.
Whittlesey came here about a month ago
and purchased the stable of Williams A
Collet Boon after the write came. 8b* sent
for Whittlesey and told him that she did not
love him; that she married him in a St of
jealousy, and urged him to retain counsel
and institute proceeding* for a divorce.
She told him that she wonld pay all expen
se* and give him a handsome sum besides.
He refused, and laughed at what be tanned
her foolishness. Mrs. Wbittleeey then vis
ited an attorney and stated the case to hjm.
He told her she bad no legal right to do as
■he wished. She then determined to leave
her husband, which ahe did on Christmas
Eve, departing for Kentucky. Whittlesey
remained here a few days, bnt haa now dis
appeared. The (table haa been eold oat to
other parties.
SOUTH CAROLINA PROORE8-S.
A Fla* Showing of Industrial Improvement

The Charleston News and Courier, which
baa devotel much time and attention to
the Industrial condition of Mouth Carolina,
give* in a late number an interesting re
view of that Htote, being valuable on ac
count of tha atatiatic* and other important
information it oontains. The associated
f rtss haa already presented some ot these
sets and figures to os, hot not near enough.
They interest tbe whole 8 rath, for what

lina is true of nearly all the other Southern

It exhibit* the increase in tha wealth of
tha State, the improvement io agricultural
method*, the growth of manufactures, etc.
Thia increase in all of these has been rapid.
In 1880 the vain* of the agricultural and
