Arkansas Mode of Endowment.


The state Of society in Arkansas was excess
lively rough, several years since. We hope an,
believe it has improved latterly The mos
frightful tragedies were enacted frequently, We
the people seemed to think nothing of them
A dangerous cutting scrape was regarded as ra
ther comical affair than otherwise, as witness
the following, which is substantially true:
Two desperadoes met at a tavern in Helena
one evening. They we're named, respectively
Tom scroggs and Bill Pike. Says Scrogss:
"How's things7"
"Peart," says Pike.
Heard you said you'd bleed me, next time
we nett" says Scroggs.
"That's me-" says Pike; and two bowie
knives flashed forth.
The fellows had carved each other pretty
briskly for ten or fifteen minutes, when, as
Pixies ears had been shaved off and his abdo.
men several times punctured, it suddenly occur
red to him that he had enough of it, and he
struck his colors.

How Cartridges are Made.

The operation of cartridge making may
briefly describe. The first operation consists in
cutting moderately stiff MANILA wrapping pa.
PER into pieces two and half inches long by one
and half wide. These are folded into thin.
BILE or cap, into one end Of which is placed the
conical mimic bullet. A more pliable piece OF
wrapping paper some three inches by five, is
then rolled round the cap and bullet, the erd OF
the wrapper being drawn by very ingenious
process, tightly over the point of the bullet and
tied, so as to render the end perfectly tight.
The bullets WEIGH an ounce, and are really
ugly customers to contemplate. They are
creased before being put in the cartridge,
which has the effect Of clearing the musket in
frequent and rapid firing. The cartridge tubes,
with ball at the closed end, are then taken in
shallow boxes, and standing upright, are, by an
ingenious continuance, filed with the necessary
charge of powder, being poured in from kind
of kettle. The powder and ball just fill the in
ner thimble or stiff tube. The long end of the
outer wrapper is then folded over, and they are
packed in lunches of ten, with small package
containing twelve percussion caps. These
packages are again placed in boxes of one hun
dred, ready for transportation. When the SOL
der has occasion to load his musket, he takes
from his pouch one of these cartridges, bites the
folded end, AID turns the contents into the muz-
zle of the gun.

DRYING Rhubarb.

Rhubarb dries very well, and when prepared
will keep good for an indefinite period. Tn,
stalks should be broken off while they are cris,
and tender, and cut into pieces about an inch il
length. These pieces should then be strung or
thin Irvine and hung up to dry. Rhubari
shrinks very much in drying-more so than an,
plant am acquainted with, and strongly resem
bles pieces ofsoft wood. When wanted for use
1t should be soaked in water over night, and the
next day simnered over slow fire. None OF
its properties appear to be lost in drying, and il
is equally as good in winter as any dried fruit.
Very few varieties of rhubarb are suitable for
drying, as most of them contain too much
woody fibre. The best variety of rhubarb for
any purpose is the Victoria, when grown in a
suitable situation. The Mammoth is worthless,
owing 70 its fbrous nature, as are also some 9th.

Wool.

The following suggestions in reference to the
wool trade of the West are made in Waite,
Browns New York Circular:
For our numerous friends in the West, who
may be interested in the new clip, we would re-
mark that the prospect for home demand for
their wool seems very discouraging, owing to
the great scarcity of money among manufactu.
rers, and with the Banks both East and West
Most OF those who have in former seasons Wis
tied the West to lay in their stocks, have eth.
er been forced by stagnation in trade to stop
their mills, or at least can only manage to buy
in market for their immediate wants. The en-
tire uncertainty of the future clearly prescribes
the latter as the only prudent course, even if
the former were practicable In prosperous
times the trader, farmer or storekeeper in Ohio
or Michigan may find a buyer at his door al
most any fire morning in the season; but when,
as at present, the whole business of the country
is in great measure paraIyzed, the little re-
manning vitality is only to be found in the great
commercial centres. 1t seems, therefore eyi.
dent that the best way to sell wool will be to
send 1t to the market where consumers must
necessarily, in the regular course of their bust
ness, come in contract with it. As to prices
which ought to be paid for wool and which
growers ought to expect, we think that such
portion of the wool as is sold in the West at
clipping time, will range in price from Csc to
33c for the usual qualities in good condition
most of the better lots probably selling for
about 3Oc, and very choice clips going as high
as 3Sc. The last are not at present desirable,
and we presume large portion of the best
clips will be wisely held by growers for an i'm
proved demand.
Our annexed quotations are probably from .
to 3 cts. per pound above what could be realized
for new wool, on full market. Lots arriving
early may bring nearly or quite our quotations

To Cure the Bloat in Ca,iIe.

Take stick about the size of large rolling
pin. or about two inches in diameter, and after
fastening string at each end, put it in the an.
inai's mouth and tie it with the strings::around
the animals head, so that the stick will act like
bit, and keep the mouth open. In a very
short time, the bloat arising from eating too
much wet clover, will abate gradually; and
where the choking arises from potato or piece
of turnip, it will work itself either up or down.

Breeding and Management, of Swine.

Much more depends on the treatment of
sows while sucking. than many persons have the
least idea of, both as regards mother and young.
Many fine SOW and promising litter have been
spoiled for want of proper treatment at this Pc
Rod. Most sows are feverish after narrowing,
consequently they must have spare diet of
swill, such as sour milk or dish water, or broth
made Of boiled potatoes, carrots and oats, with
tablespoonful Of sulphur once day for two
or three days-boiled oats are good alone.
Some sows are very much dcbilita.ed, and re-
quire something stimulating; where they are
very weak, pudding made of middlings and
corn meal, diluted with small quantities of wine
and brandy, with new milk, given in small
rations, but not often. After two or three days,
if all is well, the rations may be icreased in
quantity and be composed of any wholesome
food, such as swill, milk, porridge, boiled vege-
tables Of almost any kind. being thickened with
middlings or corn meal. But by the way, l
would give no vegetables without cooking.
The SOW should have chance to the ground
from the first, for if not provided with charcoal
or rotten wood, will eat much earth, which
seems to act as sort of regulator Never put
fresh feed into the trough when some of the
old mess remains, but give her NO more than
she will eat up. and at regular hours.
Feed sparipgly for the first ten days. The
more care taken of the SOW at this time, the
better the pigs will thrive, and the less it will
pull down on the sow.
When the SOW is weakly or has not teats
enough, or has not suf6ciency Of milk, the
young pigs can be learned to drink by inserting
a small finger in the mouth held in a basin of
warm milk, or small piece of wood made for
the purpose, and put in bottle and use warm
milk. In order to attract the attention of the
puny pig from the others, make noise with
your mouth resembling pig when eating or
drinking milk; after the third trial, you will
have no difficulty in calling your pet.
Ifyou wish to handle pigs, put your hand un-
der the belly and raise them up quickly, and
they will not squeal; but never put your hand
on pigs back, unless you want him to run and
squeal. They are very sensitive of anything
from above.
If you should wan. to make anything very
nice, of your pigs (for you CAM when the pigs
are about ten days old, commerce to carry the

Opinions About Learning to Shoot
The Right Position.

A Maryland correspondent of the Scientific
American, asserts that twenty years experience
and observation have taught him that any per.
son may become good shot by observing the
following directions: "Allow the rifle to hang
in the hands in an easy manner, declined at an
angle Of about forty degrees; then raise it
steadily but quickly in a line with the object,
the eye ranging carefully over the sights, and
at the instant the object arrived, is covered,
touch the trigger"
He says, 81 find there is a moment when the
gun is absolutely still, that is the instant the
upward movement is arrested. These di
rections observed will certainly mako a good
shot. II the sight is lost at the first trial, it
can be recovered BY second. Any deviation
from this rule is fatal to accuracy"
