DURING the fever epidemic of last
month, the stock of Ayers Ague Cure in the
Old North State became exhausted, and be-
fore a supply could be received from Low

came fearful. A few parties were so fortu
nate as to have it on hand, and in Iredell
county, the druggists eked out their slender
stock by selling doses-a spoonful each-for
dollar. Many paid ten dollars for bot

NUMBER OF HENS TO CoCK.-We have
no hesitancy in recommending to breed
ers the following ratio of hens to a cock
of the breeds named: Houdans, twenty
hens to two cocks Creve-cpurs, eight
hens to one cock Buff Cochins, twenty
four hens to two cocks; Grey Dorkings,
ten hens to one cock White Leghorns,
fourteen hens to one cock Spanish,
twelve hens to one cock; Brahmas,
twelve hens to one cock; Hamburgs,
fourteen hens to one cock; Polands,
twelve hens to one cock Game, ten
hens to one cock. With this proportion
of hens to a cock the vitality of the
eggs will prove good, and at least eleven
out of twelve eggs set will produce
"chicks.'
For breeding hens we inclose in
yard ten or fifteen hens of each variety
we wish to propagate, and with them
one cock. If we have two or moro
cocks whose qualities are equal, we
think it preferable to change every two
days, leaving only one cock with the
hens at time Two weeks are neces-
sary to procure full bloods; and we pre-
fer the eggs the third rather than the
second week.-Peop!e's Practical Poultry
Book.

HE Southern Farmer says that tea
spoonful of fine salt or of horseradish in
pan of milk will keep it sweet for
several days Milk can be kept year
or more as sweet as when taken from
the cow by the following method: Pro
cure bottles, which must be perfectly
clean, sweet and dry, draw the milk
from the COW into the bottles, and as
they are filled, Immediately cork them
well, and fasten the cork with pack
thread or wire. Then spread q little
straw in the bottom of a boiler, on
which place the bottles, with straw be-
tween them, until the boiler contains
sufficient quantity. Fill it up with
cold water, heat the water, and as soon
as it begins to boil, draw the fire and let
the whole gradually cool. When quite
cold, take out the bottles and pack them
in sawdust in hampers, and stow them
away in the coolest part of the house.

The Statue to Professor Morse.

A New York paper gives the follow
ing description of the statue recently
erected in Central Park, New York, to
Professor Morse, the inventor of the
electric telegraph:
The statue, concealed from view by a
large American flag, stood upon gran
tie pedestal between the stands and
partially fronted by them. When I'M
unveiled, it appeared as one Of the fin
est works of art in bronze ever made IN
this country. 1t is one of heroic size,
and represents the great inventor
standing beside atelegraph instrument,
upon which he rests his left hand,
while in his right he holds a slip such
as come with strange traceries of dots
and dashes-the messages of the light
ning-from the machine This slip
is supposed to bear fac-simile of the
first message ever sent over the first
line Morse established-tha between
Washington and Baltimore. The all
gularity, absolutely hideous, shapeless-
ness and utter want of grace III our
modern costume, has been happily
overcome by the artist, without the in
PRODUCTION Of the incongrous ancient
toga, by draping his figure in long
coat, with heavy fur trimmings, which
fall in graceful drapings about the
form. The face and head are admira
bly, accurate in their representation Of
the subject. The majestic brow, grand
head, firmly lined mouth, and that look
of patient and intense thought which
mark so distinctly Professor Morse,
all are preserved here with
fidelity which is rarely seen in these
counterfeit presentiments. The firm,
commanding attitude of the figure IS
also a portraiture, not conception, for
the statue stands as Morse himself
stands-may indeed in all points be
said to convey the idea of photograph
in enduring bronze. 1t certainly re-
fleets high credit upon the artist, Mr..
Byron NJ. Pickett. Honorable mention
is also deserved by those to whom was
confided the difficult and delicate work
OF casting it. This was done at Alr. NJ.
J. Powers national fine art foundry, on
East Twenty-fifth street, and seems to
have been worthy of the subject and the
artist.

The Cows Intelligence.

That COWS have memory, language,
signs, and the means OF enjoying the
pleasant association combining for ag
gressive purposes, have been recognize
ed, but scarcely to the extent the sub
iect merits. Travelling in Italy, many
years ago, we visited some of the large
dairy farms in the neighborhood of
Ferara. Interspersed among much OF
the low lying, unhealthy land, remark
able for the prevalence on 1T OF very
fatal forms of anthrax III the summer
season, are fine undulating pasture
lands, and the fields are of great eX-
tent We happened to stop at farm
house one fine autumn afternoon when
the cows were about to be MIXED. A
herd of over one hundred was grazing
nOmeward
The women took their positions with
stool and pail close to the house, and
as the COWS approached, names We're
called ont which, at first, we thought,
were addressed to the milk maids.
Rosa, Florenza, Giulla, Sposa, and
many names, which were noted at the
time, were called out by the overseer
or one of the women, and we were as
tomshed to see COW after COW cease
i.eeding or chewing the cud aud make
direct, sometimes at trot, for the wo-
men that usually MIXED her.
The practice, we found, was not con-
med to one farm; all the cows on each
arm knew their respective names, and
took up their position, inst as readily

The Punishment of Adultery.

Most modern States regard adultery
as an ofiense against morals simply, so
that the offending person is answerable
only to the injured one. The New
England States have, however, long
retained upon their statute books the
expression of the ancient notion that it
is a crime for the commission of which
the guilty parties are amenable to the
laws and may be fined and imprisoned.
A proposition has recently been made
in the Connecticut Legislature to
change the punishment of adultery
from Imprisonment in the State Prison
for not less than two nor more than five
years to one more IN accordance with
modern notions. The history Of Con
necticut laws in regard to this matter
is briefly as follows: In l642 the col
ony adopted the Massachusetts, code,
which punished the offense with death;
in 1872 the penalty was changed to
whipping on the naked body, branding
the letter A upon the forehead, and
compulsory wearing Of halter about
the neck and in plain sight 50 long as
the adulterer or adulteress remained
within the colony In 1850 the whip
ping was limited to twenty stripes, and
in 1884 was fixed at thirty stripes. In
1916 whipping, branding, and wearing
the halter was abolished; the guilty
man was to be imprisoned in Newgate,
and the woman in the common jail fer
not less than two nor more than five
years. In 1880 the Legislature passed
an act by the terms of which both Of
tenders were to be confined in the State
Prison, the time of confinement re-
naming the same as before The law
has not been changed since then.

would pay to push any particular thing,
or discontinue raising certain others.
DR.. Littleton, answered that that was
precisely his plan. His stock, fruit,
grain, wine, and all other accounts
were kept separate, and he knew just
now much each branch cost, and wheth-
er it paid to raise it. To our question,
what paid the best, he answered,
"Small grains, especially wheat We
asked him how, in the name of
common sense, he would manage
to raise small grain at a
profit when everybody else lost money
or led starving life at it. To be brief,
this is the plan. He raises fall wheat.
In the autumn he prepares the ground,
and when ne sows his wheat he adds a
bushel of oats to the acre. In due time
the seed terminates and comes up.
The oats get the start of the wheat, and
by the time winter sets In are knee
high, while the wheat is only few
inches. The cold weather in winter
kills the oats and it falls over the
wheat, protecting it from the weather
and mulching it so that in the spring
the wheat males an astonishing growth
Last year, by pursuing this plan, the
land of Mr.. Littleton yielded thirty
nine bushels of wheat to the acre,
which he sold at dollar and forty five
cents bushel. He sent to Indiana
and procured the seed, 1t was, we be-

American Grapes.

A correspondent of the Boston Spec
tator, after late trip through the wine
growing countries of Europe, is con-
vinced that American grape-growers
follow too servilely the process of Eu-
rope culture. 1t is well known that
the Europe grapes can be grown upon
this continent only on the Pacific slope,
where the climatic conditions resemble
those of the western coast of the East
ern Continent. Our native grapes be-
ing adapted to an entirely different
treatment. Our excessive pruning, for
example, is thought by m my to Sc
riousiy cripple the productive power of
American grapes. To test this matter
for himself, the writer in the Spectator
commenced to vary the treatment of
his own grapes from the imported
methods. He now raises his trellises
to the height of twelve feet, and trains
his vines so as to produce the heaviest
fruitage at the top of the trellises He
finds that their elevation above the
ground, and subsequent greater expos
ire to the sun srays, secures them from
rot and mildew. While those diseases,
with leaf blight and tendency OF fruit
to bursting, affect to considerable ex-
tent the vineyard of his neighbors, he
Is entirely without annoyance on that
score

Salt for the Carn-Grub.

The corn crop has several formidable
enemies to contend with, and among
them is the grub, which som etimes
literally destroys whole fields or
damages the crop seriously, One OF
the best and most convenient remedies
perhaps the very best ever suggested
is the application of salt as soon asthe
plant makes its appearance above
ground, prepared and used in this way;
Take one part of common salt and
three parts plaster or gypsum, and
apply about tablespoonful around
each hill. 1t will be found to be a
sure protection. The mixture should
not come in contact with the young
plants, as it may destroy them. This
method has been tried over and over
again by some of the best farmers of
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey,
and when properly applied has never
failed to be perfectly successful. We
hope our farmers, who have reasons to
fear the depredations of the grub the
present season, will try this mixture,
leaving few alternate rows of corn
without the salt, and communicate to
us the result. The application also
acts as trst-rate fertilizer, and will
more than pay for itself in benetiting
the crop,-Germdntoaom telegraph.
