To HAVE EGGS IN WINTER.-A Kansas
man says: l let my hens huddle together in
some corner, and not let them roost, and
get plenty of eggs. / had about twenty hens
and my hen house was rough shed about
eight feet square, and window and door on
the East. l took down the roosting poles,
leaving the nest boxes only. / made
small board shed about four feet square, on
the South side of the large one, and covered
1t with straw. | made hole for the hens
to pass from the large house into the
small one. The result was my hens contin-

Much has been written of late about the
deodorizing and disinfecting qualities of dry
earth, and we notice a remarkable test Of it
near Melbourne, Australia, where, at the
meat preserving works 5000 sheep are fire.
quently disposed of in one day The works
are about four miles from Melbourne. The
flesh of the sheep is preserved in tins for
the English market. The sheep are driven
directly to the pens behind the slaughter
houses, where, notwithstanding the immense
number killed each day, there is not the
slightest smell, owing to the use of dry earth
as deodorizing agent" Some of the ear
hest experiments with dry earth in England
were made with the most offensive refuse of
slaughter houses, which was almost instant
ly rendered entirely inodorous.

Browsing SToCK.-Those who reside in
regions where timber is plentiful can carry
sheep and cattle through the winter by sup
plying them with browse daily. The trees
suitable for this purpose are sugar maple,
beach, Eastwood and birch. Cattle and
sheep will leave the best of hay to feed on
the buds and tender twig. of these trees, and
We have known them to come out in the
spring in fine condition, on this food with
an occasional feed of corn in the ear. Where
land is being cleared up this aid is readily
supplied, as the chopping is usually done in
the winter season, but where this is not the
case, let trees be felled daily and the limbs
chopped down, so that the stock can reach
the twigs readily, and they will get along
finely. The safest way is to fell the trees
before the stock is let out of the enclosure

PLANTS IN RooMs.-A few words on the
culture of plants in room. may be beneficial
to many persons. They should be placed
in a situation where they can receive an a.
bundance of light and air; otherwise they
will become sickly.
Plants are frequently injured by injudi-
cious watering. Some persons seem to
think that deluges of water afford remedy
for all the evils to which plants are subject.
this is mistake. True, they require con-
siderable amount of moisture, but not one
half the quantity which is oftimes applied.
Evening is the best time to water them, and
in every case cold water from cistern or
pump should be avoided. The water should
be warmed by exposure to the sun, or in
some other manner, by bringing to the
temperature of the atmosphere before being
used. Many plants are retarded in their
growth by having cold water poured upon
them. The quantity to be applied varies
with the size and nature of the flower; the
ground should be thoroughly moistened,
but not soaked If the leaves should be-
come infested with insects, some tobacco
juice, mixed with water and sprinkled over
them, will soon destroy these The great
feature of cultivating plants to promote
their health is that which is equally effica-
cious with human beings-cleanline

Giants Of Olden Times

In one of his recent lectures. Professor Sill
Imam, the younger, alluded 80 the discovery
If the skeleton OF an enormous lizard, of SO
feet.
From this the professor inferred, N no liv-
ing specimen Of such magnitude had been
found that the species which it represents
had become degencrated. The verify of his
position he endcavorcd to enforce BY an allu-
lion TO the well-known existence Of giants in
ulden times
The following is the list on which this sim
suar hypothesis is based
The giant exhibited at Roucn in 1890, the
professor says, measured nearly eighteen
ieet.
Gorepius saw girl tina; was ten feet high
The giant Galabra, brought from Arabia to
Rome, under Claudus Cesar was ten feet
high.
Fannum, who lived in tn. time of Eugene
H. measured / feet.
The Chevslier Scrog In his voyage 10 the
Peak Of the Tenerif'c, found in one Of the
'averns Of that mouatan the head II Gunich,
who had six teeth, and was not less than -
ieet high.
The giant Ferregus, slain BY Orlando,
rephew Of Charlemagne, was twenty-eight
FEET high.
In 1914, near 81, German. was found III.
tomb Of the giant Isorant, who was not less
than thirty feet high.
In 1850, near Buuen, was found a skeleton
whose skull held bu.hel Of corn, and who
was nineteen feet high.
The giant Bacart Was twenty-five feet high;
his thigh bones were found in l7o4 near the
river Moderi.
In 1879, near the castle Of Dauphins, 4
tomb wa. found thirty feet long, sixteen wide
and eight high on which was cY in gray

back
Near Palermo, in Sicily, IN lslo, WI. found
The skeleton Of giant thirty feet high. The
head Was the size Of hogshead. and each Of
lis teeth weighed FIVE ounces
We have 10 doubt that there were giants
N those day., and the pas, wa. perhaps more
prolific in producing them than the present.
But the history of giants during the olden
time was not more remarkable than that Of

The Administration and Cuban Affairs
The Agents or the Cuban Insurgents to
be Allowed 20 Purchase Arms from the
GOV ernment.
WAsHINGroN April 80. 1869.

WASHINGTON, April 80, 1869.
4 prominent member of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs declares very
emphatically that the Administration has
determined on recognizing Cuban bellige-
rency at an early day. The policy and
mode of procedure is determined upon,
and only awaits favorable moment for
action. Appeals of an earnest character
are being forwarded here from the
Cuban Junta praying this speedy recog-
milton, in order to end the atrocities
of the Spaniards. BY advices from the
Eastern Department it appears that
Valmaseda has been for some time
carrying out the brutal policy he has or
dered. as announced in today's press des-
patches. In the latter part of March the
Patriots having temporarily evacuated il
cuani, in order to carry on operations in
the field. 4 portion of Nalmaseda's force
made several sorties during which they
perpetrated great brutalities. Many houses
were burned, their peaceful occupants were
assassinated, while others were taken pris-
oners and afterward executed-the women
and children being also taken along and
compelled to witness the executions. The
vote in the Mexican Congress in favor of
recognizing Cuban belligerency stood 100
to 10. Advantage will at once be taken of
this step. Arms have been shipped to Mex
lean ports intended for Cuba, and letters of
marque will, it is declared soon be issued.
In view of this, the Patriots are making
strenuous efforts to obtain and hold port
on their southern coast. Cuban agents
here call attention to an error in the letter
in to-day's Tribune. The new electoral
law makes voters of only 5000. not $4,000
Cubans, as therein stated.
Application having been made to certain
officials connected with the Government,
by agents of the Cuban insurgents, for the
purchase of munitions OF war, the Presi-
dent has given directions to said officials
to sell all acay material not aCanted by the Co.,
e17tnaent TO ana parties eOho eoiSh to purchase.
The agents were accordingly notified that
they could have all they desired, provided
they furnished the necessary funds.

Come Down.

The Everett House and Metropolitan
Hotel, in New York, have backed down on
the question of receiving colored' guests.
The former took in dark-skinned hunter
for quarters, and the latter suffered Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn (dun-colored) to
grace the register with his name, where
upon he was assigned room, with walters,
ETC., to make him at case in his inn.
These hotels arc in fair way to increase
their custom in the dark line-lf they do
not charge much. But they have set out
in a direction which, from the strong
prejudices existing in New York, will
render reduction OF fare inevitable.
The Aston bravoly stands by its resolution,
announced with unsurpassed brevity. thus:

are other things impossible.

Growing DksCOnfCnf.

We publish this morning a strong and
significant article from the leading Radical
paper of the Northwest. 1t is the organ
of Senator TRuMBULD, and beyond ques-
ton the most influential Journal of the
party in Illinois. This onslaught upon the
administration has made the Western poll
ticians more bold in their criticisms Of the
Cabinet, and in their denunclatlonS OF the
President appointments. leading Yves
tern Senator now III Washington, has open
~ declared that the article Of the Chicago
Tribune reflects the sentiments of clear
majority of the Republicans in the North
west, and predicts that unless the CaEluet
was reconstructed, both tho administra-
ton and the party would be steadily de-
feated before tho people during the next
four years, and that in the next House of
Representatives the Democrats would have
q majority.
DANA of the New York Sut Indignantly
declined a lucrative Federal appointment,
and discharges daily battery of well-di-
rected Napoleons at the President and his
friends, with telling effect upon their
ranks All over the North the opposition
to the new administration among its own
party friends is without parallel in Amer
lean politics. This opposition is bitter and
out-spoken, and is increasing every day.
We have never known an administration
which nurtured SO many germs of destruc-
ton, or exhibited so many elements of
weakness.
In North Carolina it is impossible that
such mistakes as driving such efficient
officers and original Grant men from Office
as Marshal Goodloe and Postmaster Miller,
of Raleigh, and placing in their stead
such man as Carrow, and such a de-
faulter as Rogers, will not injure any
party. Good men must lose confidence in
the administration and the public interest
must suffer. Having neither personal or
political concern in these appointments,
not being acquainted with Goodloe, and
having but slight acquaintance with
Miller, we regret nevertheless to see eff.
fcient officers removed, and political con-
sistency and personal integrity dishonored
and disowned.
Matters are not in better condition in
the Southern States. President GRANT
has admitted to his confidence the most
unworthy and vicious members of his
party, and will succeed in driving from his
support the more worthy and respectable
portion of his political friends. AS far as
this may iniure the Radical party we will
rejoice, bat we fear We will pay dearly TO,
