The late dispatches bring the joyful
tidings that peace has been virtually
concluded between TIE German Emperor
and the new provisional republic of
France. Yesterday-says the Chicago
Post of Thursday afternoon-Kaiser
William received President Theirs at
his headquarters, and the terms were
discussed and formally agreed upon
The treaty was not signed, for the As
sembly will, doubtless, first act on the
protocol; but that body has exhibited a
most generous and conservative spirit,
and its ratification of Theirs scheme is
not by any means doubtful. The world
will rejoice that the carnival of
blood has ceased, and that the last ex-
ternal burden has been lifted from the
shoulders of the young republic.

ARI0N PIANOS in Conservatives for a year
and have had fair opportunity OF testing their du
rablllty during that time. The Pianos have been
played upon almost constantly, from morning till
night, and Piano must indeed be a good one when
it will bear such constant without showing signs
of detection As for renaatg tue it outrvals any
Piano known to HE.
Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the treble las

pupils remark, while taking their lessons that al
though they had at home what they supposed to be
Of the best makes of Pianos, still the treble was
very Wirey toned compared with the CARTON"
What makes them still more desirable is their uni

they will receive just as good Piano
as il they we're in our waTe-r00ms TO
select it. We have sold over FIVE
TA0USAND Pianos, many OF them be-
ing shipped great distances, and we
hare never yet received the first COM

In nine cases out of ten it pays to
sell farm products as soon as they are
ready for the market. The aggregate
loss OF holding them is at least ten
times the aggregate gain, taking the
experience of any hundred farmers to-
gether.
Take, for example, grain In the
natural order of things, the supply is
equal to the demand. The exceptions
are when war takes from the producing
to add to the consuming class, which,
in addition to the waste and expense of
transportation, inevitably increases the
demand, while decreasing the produc-
ton, and of course augments the price;
or when a failure in some crop in some
section places the supply below the
needs of that section, and other dis
tricts are called upon to make up the
deficiency.
But both of these causes are ex-
ceptionM. As to the failure Of the
grain crops in any section, it has be-
come almost an axiom that when corn
or wheat is below the average, some
thing else that can take the place Of
one OF both is above, and thus the gem
eral average, except in rare cases, is
preserved.
Then as to potatoes. They are gen
orally lower III the fall than in the
spring, but the larger price in May
rarely, If ever, nets us much as the
smaller price in October. The shrink
ing during the intervening SIX months
is never less than twenty-five per cent.
under the most favorable circumstances,
and IS likely to be much greater.
Take, also, wool The clip IS gener-
ally bought up i'll July and August, If
not sold then, 1t must be held till the
next year, and, though there is no
shrinking, if properly kept, yet there
is some trouble, the loss of interest on
the money and the possibility Of even a
less price, which the possible advance,
in a large majority of cases, never Gov
ers and thus in every department Of
the farm the principle that should I'M
derlie all operation is Raise the best
of everything when the crop in ready
for market, if offered fair price, let it

requisite quantity, at the proper time
Suitable food, so made up, Mr. Fischer
thinks, IS found in the albuminous con-
tents of hens eggs; and lie accordingly
resorted to feeding diseased colony
with mixture of two parts egg with
one part solution of sngar-candy, add
ing few drops of honey, to make it
more acceptable to the bees. The
brood reared in new comb after such
feeding, matured in due season. free of
disease; as did, also, with two excep-
tons, that in the cells of old brood
comb in the foul broody hive The
food thus prepared was given at inter
walls OF two days, and according to Mr.
F., effected the desired purpose com
pletely-arresting and Graduating the
disease regardless of the old doctrine
of contagion.
The process is simple, easy, and
cheap; and, if efficient, VIII prove very
valuable. Egg-feeding has, indeed,
been objected to by some rs injurious;
and may be so, if used in excess, but
we have never found it so, when en-
ployed moderately, at intervals, as Il
stimulant. Ii, however, we should
have occasion to test it as cure for
foulbrood, we would at the same time
use the hyposulphite of soda, suggest
ed by DR.. Able, as a disinlectant -

Feeding Potatoes to Uerscs.

In Germany, where potatoes are SO
much cheaper than grain, the expert
ment has been repeatedly tried of feed
ing horses upon them, al least in part,
and this as we understand, has proved
quite successful. In one instance five
four-horse teams were kept hard at
work and in good condition on a daily
ration, for the twenty horses, of Il cwt.
Of hay, s bushels Of potatoes, 80
pounds of meal, and a liberal allow
ance Of chopped straw. The potatoes
were steamed, mashed, and mixed with
the meal while hot, and then covered
up and allowed 10 remain for a time,
during which they undergo a slight
fermentation and evolve quantity Of
carbonic acid. The chopped straw was
worked in just before feeding. This
trial was continued for more than -four
months, and found to agree with the
horses, while at the same ime il proved
satisfactory in point of e economy. As
this food must be swee and clean,
great care is necessary to prevent the
vessels in which 1t Is kept from becom-
ing sour.

An Embarrassing Mistake.

Last Sabbath evening n young person
Of the masculine gender, quietly and
genteely, rs becoming those who fire.
Quent the house OF the Lord, walked
iuto one Of our churches. He took a
seat beside a young person Of the femi-
nine gender. The young person was
attiTcd in white gown, fresh from the
laundry, and guiltless OF spot or wrink-
lie. With that instructive neatness
common TO most Of the fair sex, the
young lady had spread out the skirt Of
her gown RS much as possible, to save
it from the rumplcs incident to Il sit
ting posture The young man, on TAX
ing his seat, did not at first observe the
display of drapery beside him. After
awhile he cast his eyes around. They
fell on the white muslin, and he felt
himself growing red and white by
turns. Could his-his, in short, could
the tail Of his shirt have escaped from
its confinement in his unmcntionabes

gentleman again became interested IN

his horror, what he supposed to be bis
unmanageable garment. With con-
yulsive effort he clutched itinhis shak-
ing hand, and was endeavoring to put
it where it should have been, il it had
been his muslin, when the lady moved
far enough away to take her skirt out
Of the reach OF the unhappy young
man. With an expression Of counten-

Japanese Bank Notes.
From the n. Y. Commercial.


The Continental Bank Note Company
OF New York are busily engaged in en-
CRAVING the plates for printing paper
money for the japanese Government.
Our reporter who called at the office of
| the Company, corner of Liberty and
Greenwich streets, this morning, was
shown specimens of the work. The
work has progressed so far that the
backs of notes OF two denominations
are completed.
TIRE JAPANESE NOTES.
The first specimen shown was proof
sheet of the reverse side of Japanese
bill which would be equal to so in
United States money. The design rep
resents a battle between the japanese
troops and the Monguls, and is copied
from Il famous national historical paint
ing. The style Of engraving is similar
To that of our bills, and is executed in
the finest style of art, and in n man
ner which win defy the skill of the
most expert counterteiter. The second
specimen was the reverse side of Il bill
half the value of the first, or that would
be equal to 50 in our money The de-
sign represents the Bridge of Nippon,
ANoTED STRUCTURE IN YEpDo.
and is also copied from Japanese
picture. The artists of the Continental
Company have preserved the japanese
stiffness ana peculiarities of the pic
lures TO certain extent, but could not
wholly resist the tendency TO make inn
proyements on the originals.
AMERICAN SPECIMENS THE BEST
Specimens OF German, English, and
American work were compared, and the
Japs" decided that the latter was de-
cidedly the best. Ito imagined that
the best work would bette most expen-
sivc, and he remarked to the President
of the Continental Bank note Company:
Your work muchec good, but youask
how muchee big payg" The President
inquired how much the Germans had
for their services. With his native
shrewdness Ito declined TO answer this
question:, and insisted upon first know
ing what contracts could be made here.
The figures were furnished him, when
he s0id they were much lower than the
prices charged by the Germans. The
fact may appear singular because labor
is SO much higher in the United States
than in Germany. The reason we can
do the work more favorably is that We
have machinery, mechanical facilities
better adapted to doing the scroll aud
lathe patterns and designs SO noceossa-
ny to prevent counterhting.
HOW CONTRACTS ARE MADE.
The contracts for the paper money
arc made between the American and
japanese Governments, and the Con-
tinental Company have commenced the

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
w hen to Cut Corn.
From the Rural New Yorker.

from the IGf3l New Yorker.
At what time shall we cut corn, and
in what manner Shall we cut at the
ground, top, or not cnt at all? These
are questions seldom discussed in our
agricultural papers; still they should
be thoroughly understood by all grow
ers. | am aware that many Eastern
growers practice topping and if this
is the best method, we should all prac-
tice it, Contending that it is not,
will present few thoughts in favor of
cutting at the ground. Leaves are all
the lungs of plants, and none can be
removed while the crop is maturing,
more particularly while rpening, with
out decreasing the amount of such
crop. At the time the topping is usu-
ally done, the leaves removed are the
ones most essential to growth, and you
prevent the corn from receiving the nu-
triment that it would have derived
from them had they not been severed
from the stalk.
In cutting corn we have in view the
preservation of the fodder for feeding
purposes to be OF much value it must
be cut previous to frost; cut at the
proper time and we'll saved, they make
excellent feed but cut after they have
become dry and hard, or frost-bitten,
they are nearly worthless. | believe
that it is an accepted fact that wheat
cut as soon as the kernel becomes hard,
and while the straw is still green, prop
erly shocked, improves in the shUck,
and will make a better quality of flour
and more of it than if allowed TO stand
until the strawis dead ripe; and | have
no doubt but corn cut at the ground
before it is fully ripe, shocked well,
will be of better quality than if allowed
to stand until the stalk has become
dry; for, if cut at such time,
the circulation of sap continues
until the stalk becomes dried and
the corn ripens and improves in the
shock, whereas IN topping you entirely
remove that portion of the stalk most
needed III the ripeuing process. There
is certainly a certain tune at which corn
can be cut when the shrinkage III the
corn viii bear no comparison to the
loss Of fodder if allowed to stand long
er; at just what stage this is, each must
Judge for himself My rule is, when
the corn is all well glazed and rather
more than half the ears begin TO turn
yellow, cat and put up in small shocks,
and as soon as the corn is sufficiently
cured to crib, husk, binding the fodder
securely, and setting nine shocks of
corn in one of fodder.

hees-Origin and Cure OF Foul Brood

\ new theory respecting the origin,
.ause, and cure Of foul brood has been
preached IN the Bienenzeitung by Mr..
Y. Fischer 1t is in substance that the
disease originates when the brood is
1pphed with an insufficiency of nitro
-aaou- tood-that is, when the food,
though proper in in its kind, is fur
-l-ned in inadequate quantity; or
Wien, though in plentiful supply, the
REQUISITE ingredients are not duly APP
part,oIed.

portion, must be furnished in the
