Death of Ex.Gov. walkar.

We learn, says the Bee, with sincere regret
that ex-governor JOS. WALKER died at his
residence in the parish Of Rapides, on Monday
last. He had been i'll somtime, and hissdemise
had been hourly expected for several days.
Gen. WALKER was one of the most distin.
guished citizens of Louisiana, and had held high
stations. He was at one time Speaker Of the
House, az another President of the State Cons
Y%vention, and finally Governor of the State. He
was a man Of plain good sease, of strong poIiti.
cal attachments, Of amiable disposition, kind
hearted, high.minded and honorable. Peace
to his ashes.

SELF-SEALING FRUIT CANs.-Take q
common fruit jar, with a tin cover, made
like a shoe-black box. The jar and the
cover will probably cost a dime, and
hold a quart. Any of the cements that
are used for sealing cans or jars will do
for this. Heat your fruit, either in the
jars or in some other vessel, and pour it
in the jar previously warming them.)
Now pour enough cement in the cover
to give the bottom and side q thin coat.
When the cement becomes slightly stiff,
apply the cover over the jar, the jar hav-
ing been we'll filled, and turn the jar
upside do1cn and here IS the i~nUention.
AS fruit jars have q lip, you now have a
little trough to fill with cement and the
work is done. Let the jars get cold
standing on their covers, and put them
away il the same position.
It is the escaping in the common way
of sealing or soldering cans, that leaves
so many of them imperfect. My plan
entirely obviates this difficulty, as the
steam or vapor is always IN top of the
fruit. This arrangement, you perceive,
is really a chemists pneumatic trough,
ard there is no danger, when your fruit
has cooled down and created a vacuum,
that the external atmospheric pressure
will force the corks in.-Cor. Ohio CHI-
tivdtor.
To WHITEN LINEN TURNED YELLOW.
Cut up a pound of fine white soap in
to a gallon of milk, and hang it over a
fire in a wash kettle. When the soap
has entirely melted, put in the linen
and boil it half an hour. Then take it
out; have ready a lather of soap and
warm water wash the linen in it, and
then rinse it through two cold waters,
with a very little blue at the last.

To PRESERVE HERBs.-All kinds of

wards. When perfectly dry, wrap the
medicinal ones in paper, and keep them
from the air. Pick off the leaves of
those which are to be used in cooking,
pound and sift them fine, and keep the
powder in bottles, corked up tight.

THE Use OF LARGE WoRDs.-Big
words pass for sense with some people,
and sometimes may be very successfully
employed when nothing else will answer.
As when a man in great alarm, ran to

magoria."

PADDY ON AMERIKY.-One of the best

ney ?" inquired Mary.
"Why, from 'Meriky, where else ?"
he replied, " that sent US the first pita-

"Meriky is it? They tell me it's

you might rowl England through it, and
it would hardly make a dint in the
ground; there's fresh water oceans in
side of it that you might drown England
in, and save Father Matther a wonderful
site of trouble; an as for Scotland, you
might stick it in a corner of n of their

PROFIT OF UNDER-DRAINING.-Mr.
William Chamberlain, of Lower Red
Hook, N. Y, drained 25 acres of land,
at an expense of $50 per acre, and the
first three crops paid the whole expense,
including cost of cultivation. He may
then hereafter look for a profit of $50
per acre, on Zach crop. Last season
part of his ground yielded rs bushels of
corn, another part 800 bushels of pota-
toes. while on adjacent undrained fields
the crops were nearly ruined by the
dr. ought.-Arator.
REMEDY FOR THE CURcULIo.-A friend
of mine informs me that two years since,
while RECALLING himself with a genuine
Havana cigar, he happened to be by one
of his plum trees of a still morning,
when the p.ums were beginning to set,
and thought he would try what effect
the smoke might have upon the olfacto-
ries of the curculio. He bent down one
limb, smoked it well, and that limb bore
full of perfect plums, while the rest on
the same tree were stung by the curcul-
10 and dropped off. These facts are re-
liable, as my friends veracity is beyond
suspicion, and 1 ate some of the plums.
Now if any coHeringL was throWn-oFeF
a tree, on a still morning, a good smoke
generated Of refuse Tobacco, or any other,
underneath, and so done once or twice
thoroughly, the experiment would be
demonstrated with scarcely any expense,
and if successful, would be worth mil
lions of dollars to the people of this
State.-RXral Nefo Yorker.
A friend informs us that he has tried
the effect of smoke upon the curculio,
and found it effectual. It is worth a
trial. A ~smudge, such as are used for
driving off mosquitoes, may be started
under the trees with little trouble.
Sitting HAY.-Those who are in the
habit of placing salt before cattle, know
that during the winter season they will
take but little. A COW consuming a ton
of hay in the cold months, we are conf
dent, would not voluntarily consume
two quarts of salt-and yet many far
mers are in the habit of epplying eight
quarts to a ton. This is probably the
source of many of the recent diseases
among cattle. It leads also to the SLOW
emily practice of getting in the hay in a
damp or particularly cured state, under
the idea that the salt will preserve all
its virtues.
IL A COW that run almost entirely
to milk, will grow poorer, rather than
otherwise, in good pusture- She will
require more water and grass. Her milk
will be of inferior quality, unless pains
be taken to furnish her with rich food.
She will be likely, too, to be short lived.
An excessive flow of milk has its disad-
Yantages.
E@ If you wish to keep your sons
on the farm, you must put more intel
lect into your farming. A bright boy
wants food for the mind, as well as work
for the body. Mere routine will not sat
isfy him. He will be willing to work
when mind directs the hand. Otherwise,
yoa cannet keep him at home. He will
be off, ere you are aware. Therefore,
read and think, and work out your read
ing and thinking on your farm. Your
boys will stay with you then.
