THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 188G.—TWELVE PAGES. FACTS FOR THE FARMERS USEFUL HINTS TO HAVE AboUT THE HOUSE. Farm .Voles. \ 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 ed by six or seven times harrowing before sowing. Firming the soil takes prominence now where formerly the desired attainment whh claimed to bs a breaking up of the soil particles, so that the roots could get out the contoined plant food, or tho mel lowing of the soil deeply for the admis sion of air, that its ammonia might bo caught up und ultric acid formed and other desired chemical actions promoted.

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. Three daughters, one a soprano, whom Mapleeon would cross the seas for if be could get her; another a brilliant pianists, and a third a goddess of a beauty, before whom Col Long of Egypt, Deacon Hroas and Brother Sullivan bowed down and worship ed. The Utter could not sing, could not pUy, bnt her great, lustre ns area gleamed at the good deacon, her pretty foot, with iU dainty shoe, thrust at Long, made him wish himself bock on the dart continent, and when Brother Haiti.":. took her little, lily hard in hi* broad bearish paw hU great frame shook with’emotion.

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.

But tho greatest improvement has been in manufactures. South Carotins, appre ciating tho advantages of diversified indus tries, set to work to utilize its mngnificent water power and to cultivate manufactures.

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.

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.
