PRACTICAL HINTS TO FARMERS.

| The extra land required for a worm
fence would pay the interest and prin-
cipal of the cost ofa good fence in five
| years. .eHH+ rlrs f
10 stop the potato rot, plant the seed
| and start new varieties. The first crop
will be about the size of quails' eggs,
the second will yield about fair-sfzed
seed, while a third will enable you
to select a good new variety that will
be free for time from disease.
The great secret of success in raising
good horses is to keep them growing, in
good health and spirits; and this can
only be done by proper feeding and
general care. They want warm, dry
box stalls to stand in during winter,
from which they can be turned out
doors in pleasant we tther Tor exercise
for this is needed as well as food.
Instead of earth against the house for
banking up, rotting away the wood
work, use evergreen branches, hemlock
or white or yellow pine. After snow
has been blown in among them they
will keep out frost far better than
banks of earth. The labor of banking
with brush will not be half that of us-

altogether cleaner, while being more

A Monster OF the Air--A Very Strang'
8 Story.
Translated from Eel Ferro Carril of Santiago,
Chill, March 27.l a.s-y9

Yesterday, about five o'clock p. NJ.
when every one had finished work ut
the mine, (Garin minel and the wor y
men in a group were awaiting their
evening meal, we saw coming through
the air, gigantic bird. which, at first
sight, we supposed to be cloud SUR
rounded by the atmosphere, and divid-
edSrom its companions by chance cur
rent of air.
As the object in question came near
er, filling us with very natural feeling
OF surprise, we were able to note that it
was an unknown creature of the air
the roc of the "Thousand and one
Nights perhaps, or possibly, Levi
athan ofthe deserts. From whence did
it come Where was it going? Its
direction was from northeast'to SOUTH
west; its flight rapid and in direct
line. .#t5. $3.50
On passing short pisfance, and over
our heads, We were able to note the rare
structure of its body. Its great wings
were clothed with a brown plumagc.
The bead of the monster was in shape
similar to that of grasshopper, with
enoI nous eyes, wide open and brilliant
as stars. and covered with something
like hair or bristles; the body, length
eniug itself like that of serpent, was
covered with brilliant scales, which
emitted metallic sounds as the strange
animal moved itself along.
Surprise resolved itself into fear a.
mong the workmen in the presence oil
such phenomenon. The whole stock
of orni;hological science possessed by
the good miners was in vain exhausted
to lind the name and qualities of the
strange bird which had just passed with
out leaving sign. Some assert that
in those moments they perceived Il de-
testable smell, like that given out by
arsenic on being burned. Others that
their sense was not offended by any
unusual odor. The superstitious be.
lieve that it is the devil in pc rson they
have just seen pass, while others recol-
lect having been witness, some year:
ago, in the same place, to the passage o.
| u similar monstrous bird.
AS the whole affair is in the extreme
curious, we have thought it our duty tt
communicate it to you Withholding al
useless comment, for the truth is w,
cannot explain satisfactorily to our
! selves what we have seen for the iirS
and probably the last time in OlSr lives

THE DYING NEVER WEEP.

1t is a striking fact-the dying never
weep! The circle of sobbing agonized
hearts around produce not o tear. Is
it that he is insensible and stiff already
in the chill ofdissolution That can
not be, he asks for his fathers hand as
if to gain strength in the mental strug-
gle, and leans on the breast of mother,
brother and sister, with still concious
affection and just before expiring, ut
eve, after long days converse with the
angel of summer, he says to his oldest
brother-last audible ''good night" of
earth-"Kiss me, kiss?'' 1t must be
because the dying have reached a point
too deep for our earthly crying and
weeping. They are face to face with
higher holier beings. with The Father
in Heaven and his angel throng, led by
the Son himself, and what are griets of
mornings tears of a dying farewell
be it that t ley are shed by the dearest
on earth in that vision bright ofimmOr-
tai life and everlasting reunion.

GLYCERIN AND YoLK OF EGGS.

Four parts by weight of yolk of egg
rubbed in a mortar with five parts of
glyeerin, according to the Philadelphia
Jouraalof Pharmacy, gives preparation
of great value as an unguent for applI-
cation to broken surfaces of The skin of
all kinds. The compound has horny
like consistency, in unctuous like fat
ty substances, but over which it has
the advantage of being removed by
water. 1t is unalterabie, a specimen
having laid exposed to the air for three
years. Applied to the skin it forms a
varnish which effectually excludes the
air, and prevents its irritating effects.
These properties render it serviceable
tor erysipelas and cutaneous affections,
of which it allays the action.

TO PRESERVE HAMS FROM FLIES.

The best way to preserve hams from
flies is as soon as they are smoked, to
wrap item in two old newspapers, first
with one an then with ane ther and tie
the ends of the paper or paste them
down. Let the string to hang up by,
come through the paper, being careful
that the hole shall only be large enough

furs can be kept perfectly in the same
way, being careful that the egg of the
moth is not previously deposited.
