How TO CLEAN GUN-No one should
put away gun without cleaning, not even il
it has fred but one shot, that one barrel
should be cleaned. First take the barrels
of the stock, and inmerse them in cold water
ubout inches deep. Then wrap some stout
cloth (tow clings to the barrels, and leaves
particles in them,) about the cleaning rod.
so thick that you will have 10 press rather
hard TO get it into the barrels then pump
up and down, changing the cloth till the
water comes out clear then pour hot water
in them, stopping up the nipples, and turn
them muzz'es downward. Then put on dry
cloth, and work till you feel the heat through
the barrels, and the cloth comes out without
particle of moisture on it. Then put few
drops Of clarified oil (made by putting rusty
nails into some good salad oil) on the cloth
and rub the insides rub the outs:des all
over and then put the gun away Iorser's

Would be Accepted.


The North american relates the following
"There seems to be no lack Of men any
where in Pennsylvana. The glorious old
Keystone comes up with countless thousands.
One captain went to the Secretary Of the
Commonwealth, at Harrisburg, Mr.. Slifer.
and wished his company ts be accepted. lie
bad marched them to Camp Curtin oil the
way from o remote rural district, without
orders and without being previously accepted.
Col. Sifer told him it was impossible, as be
could not furnish arms for all The response
was that he did not want AIMS, as the men
already had them, Minute muskets, too
The next objection was that it they were
accepted the State would have to maintain
them, and there were already more than
enough men. The patriotic captain replied
that they could maiDtain themselves, as they
bad brought the mtney with them to do SO.
Put to his wits end by these responses, the
Secretary, asked how many men there weie
in the company. Sixty eight, said the ca7
tain. That is not enough, urged the Secre
tary you should have seventy-two. So we
have with the officers, persisted the captain
But you should have seventy.two without the
captain, you see our village is small, and when
this company was formed il took every man
who could be spared. If we had taken four
more that would have given us just half OF
oil the men 10 the village. Either you give
us four men from some of the full companies,
or take us as we are. Against such patriot
ism as this there was no argument TO be urged
and the company was accepted. This is the
sort Of material Of which the regiments from
the interior are formed"

CAPoEIsINa CuIcKENs.-in the Country
Gentleman. Mr.. William p. Gibson gives the
following directions for caponisng chickens,
which are printed now to be in time for the
present season The operation Of caponising
is simple, aud may be performed by one sc-
customed to the use Of needle and thread
aud scissors. The chicken should be full four
months old, indeed should be just commen-
cling to crow. Now place him across the
knee, with the legs pulled forward and firmly
held by an assistant. Pluck off the soft fno
feathers between the end of the breast bone
and fundament. and midway between these
two points make an incision on inch md
half long, cross'wse of the chickens body,
with sharp pair Of scissors. Through this
incison insert the fore finger to the
back.bone along which move for 90 inch and
half, and on either side will be found o
tistice. Disodge them by single twist,
and withdraw by the way the finger went in.
Draw the edges OF the wound made together
and half dozen stitches with waxed thread
complete the operation. The nail of the
finger must be smooth, SO as not to damage
the ntestines.

destroying what the earthquake had spared.
This news not having been fully confirmed, /
do not, however, vouch for its correctness.
AS soon as this disastrous news was rem.

The Cultivation of Sorghum.

We have for some time noticed tina. the
cultivation of the Chinese Sugar cane 10 the
West and Southwest has much engaged the
farmers Of that region. Last season the
quantity OF moasses manufactured there was
quite large-H some counties fully s9uai to
The home conSumpti0n-while the quality
seems to have been entirely satisfactory |;
indeed IN many instances it is declared to
have been superior to New Orleaus or Sugar
House. The manufacture OF sugar was
also attended with fair success, but which,
with some suggested improvements, II was
believed, in another season, woEd be made
equal to the Louisiana or West India Article ;
at least it would reach that degree of quality
as to satisfy the community. and prevent the
money going abroad for a supply.
This season the cane will be cultivated TO
very large extent Nearly every farmer in
the Western States will have their acre crop
just the same as that OF potatoes or any other
standard crop. Neighborhood mills for
crushing will be erected oil over the country,
just as cidermills used to be found in East
ern Pennsylvania while sugar manufactures
will be lever until the operation is more sue
cessful and better understood.
We venture to say that 10 two years from
this date, there will be molasses and sugar
enough produced in the region named to sup
ply the entire home demand and that the
sorghum cultivation will hereafter be n per-
manent as we'll as one of the most valuable
crops OF the farm.
When we advocated this new product,
three or four years ago, upon its first intro.
duciion in this country we did SO under the
full conviction that it was destined TO become
not oDly recognized crop OF Tue farm, but
one that would eventually prove OF great
ken, as The facts now before us smpbatieally
show GeTmantV,ea Telegraph.

How TO MAKE AN AMERICAN FLAG. Not
witbstanding the number 10 use, few persons
know bow to make an American flag proper
ly. The rule is as follows: The flag should
be one half longer than wide, viz !: ] six feet
wide. nine feet long; if eight feet wide,
twelve feet long. The stripes should be
alternately red and white, seven red and six
white, top and bottom both being red. The
field should be in blue, and extend over seven
stripes, commencing at the top, four red aud
three white. The stars signifyng the number
OF States should be white, arranged on the
blue field in the shape of five pointed star.
We have seen many flags with thirty four
stars, which is not correct, as by act Of Con-
gress the additional stas is not added TO the
flag until the Fourth Of July succeeding the
admission of q new State.

Preparations for an Attack by Secessionists
By gentleman Just arrived from ST. Louis
we learn that the Mississippi river overhowed
