BONE DUsT FOR PoULrRY.-Last Winter
procured two barrels of bone dust, intending to
use it for Irish potatoes and other garden
crops. NV wife appropriated some of it for
her roses IN the flower garden, BY simply
strewiug it on the surface of the ground
around the bushes The fowls have free ac-
cess to the garden, and were discovered eat
ing the meal very eagerly. Thinking that it
might be of service to them, we gave them
some for several weeks, and I assure you that
it was but short time before the eggs began
to come in such numbers as we had never
known before. IF rest was broken up to
prevent hen from setting, it was but a few
days before she was laying again; and thus
it continued to the present time. Ore hen
has taken possession of barrel that has some
bone meal in it. and is laying in the meal.
Whether sho will lay the barrel full or not,
time will show. My wife thinks that care
and bone meal are great institutions for her
poultry-yard, and very extraordinary in their
effect: but as the hen does an unusual amount
of cackling. she fears it may bring on bron-
chitis. The manuring of hens to make them
Law. we think. is original, but we have no
idea to take out patent for it. and hence
leave the discovery open to the use OF all who
may choose to try it.-Cor. House and Farm.

BEET SUGAs.--The success of the Beet So
gar Factory in Alameda county is attracting
the attention Of capitalists and agriculturists
in many parts of the State. end already there
are companies forming in many localities for
the purpose of purchasing land, planting
beets, and manufacturing sugar therefrom.
1t will be of great benefit to the State in
many ways. We would mention fact in
this connection which shows degree of wise
prudence in the Alvarado Company, and
which is at least suggestive to oil other COM
panies to be organized for similar purposes.
Before purchasing their land, and before ex-
pending much money anywhere, they sent -
quantity of beets produced at or near their
contemplated location to Illinois, where their
present Superintendent was then engaged in
beet sugar factory, and had them manufac-
tured. Thus they in advance obtained de-
monstration that the beets grown at Alvara-
do were of good quality for sugar making.
The San Jose beet sugar enterprise is now
in q fair way of going into early operation.
A large amount of stock has already been
taken, and arrangements have been made to
procure seed for the Spring planting. The
enterprise may be considered as fairly inau-
gurated.
Sacramento has not given up the manufac-
ture of beet sugar. Machinery hos been sent
for, and the managers are determined to sue
ceed.-Rural Press.

How He HAPPENED TO Ger MAD.-The De.
troit Free Press relates an incident which &C.
Cured on the return of an excursion party
from that city. Soon after the boat left Tole-
do, the steward was approached by an excit-
ed individual, who asked him if he was the
captain. The steward replied in the mega
tive, at the same time giving his rank.
s.Ba7e you the power to put man out Of the
cabin % enquired the stranger. "Well, yes,
if he's dsorderly, ] have replied the stew
ard. "Well, sir, look in here and see then.
will you ?' said the stranger, leading tae III.
fetal round to the door. The steward looked
in upon the motley group, and replied thst
be saw nothing out of the way. "You don't.
eh ?" Don't see man sitting embracing a
woman?' well. yes" replied the steward
but what of that?" Hasn't fellow q tight
to embrace his wife ~ 'sThat's lust what /
want you to run him out for,'' replied the
stranger, dancing around; ssthat's nv WIFE.
and I've stood it so long that I've got mad"

GIRLS AT BREAKFAST TiNE.--Somehody
writes: "A girl who looks like fury or
sloven in the morning is not to be trusted,
however finely she may look in the evening.
No matter how humble your room may be,
these eight things it should contain, viz:
mirror, q wash-stand, soap, towel, comb,
hair, nail and tooth brushes. They are as
essential as your breakfast, before which you
should make use of them" There, young
ladies, you have sensible opinion. and some
very wholesome advice. We dare venture
the assertion that there are many girls in this
town who make their appearance nj the
breakfast table in a condition of drowsiness
that would he q positive Giscredit to the veri-
est slat.ern Of the kitchen, and there are
many parents who not only tolerate but aha
solutely encourage this most objectionable
untidiness. There is no possible excuse foe
it. Unwashed face and hands, unkempt hair.
unlaced CATERS, unmended or an pnceanlv
wrapper should never be seen on or about the
person of young lady. or en- old one either.
Common decency, not to speak of respect far
parents or self, forbid them. We would an
soon encounter young lady with a lighted
cigar, or a chew of tobacco in her mouth, says
an exchange, as one of these slovenly crea-
lures. Let SUCH if there be any among our
readers, ask themselves whether thew would
willingly be seen in such unseemly attire by
the young gentlemen whom they meet in the
parlcr. If they would not then there is no
apology for this worse than untidiness:

Fenwick's remains at Say brook Point, Con-
necticnt, on account Of the contemplated val
ley railroad being likely to pass over her
tomb. Herself and husband were early and
large land holders of the neighborhood. She
died in l648. The skeletoa was almost en-
tire, and the light abuyn Eair appeared ir sz-s
cellent preservation, but crumbled when
pressed between the finger and tharb.

CUTTING GRAFrs.-Those who have graft
ing to perform next spring, will find it use
full to cut their gratis now. If the winter
happens to be very severe one, it will some
what check the vigor or vitality of young
shoots, even If they remain alive and appar-
emily uninjured. Some sorts of plum and
pear and even of apples, are considerably af-
iected BY severe cold. Grape cuttings are
much better taken off before winter. They
should all be distinctly and carefully labeled,
after being cut and bundled, and then pack
ed in slightly damp moss, or saw dust will
do, if in small boxes so as not to heat Sand
keeps the gratis we'll, bet the grit is apt 70
interiors with the sharpness Of grating
knives.
