REVOLUTIONARY RELICs.-A gentle.
man residing in Bedminster township,
New jersey, has for many years been col
lecting, and has carefully preserved such
clothing and relics of the Revolutionary
period aud anterior IS could be found
among the old families of his neighbour
hood and elsewhere. Among his curiosi.
ties are coverings for the heads of both
men and women, comprising almost
everything known in that line, from the
old leather helmets of some of the New
Jersey militia to the huge amounts of
bombazine. or what not, yolept bonnets,
and worn by grandmothers, to which
name is now distinctly added the express
sive adjective "poke." One extremely
mournful monstrosity bears the appro.
pirate name of "old '76." Its popularity
principally consists in the impossibility
of one of our forefathers proceeding far
enough up the "poke" to salute the lips of
the wearer, and it gives to the present be-
holder when seeing it on ''girl of the
period" a vivid impression of seeing the
headlight of locomotive within the
mouth of tunnel. The collection is an
almost unique one, and contains also many
other articles Of interest relative to olden
days.

SPONTANEOUS GENERATIoN.-A Dam
ish scientist has discovered that the rust
on the barberry and the rust on the wheat
although two distinct plants according
10 all laws defining distinct plants-have
really the same origin. Through the mi
croscope the exact structures of these little
plants which we call rust" is plainly
cen and the one on the barberry and the
one on the rust look as different as, amongst
The higher classes Of plants, an oak looks
from a willow tree. But the evidence is
conclusive. Seeds lin this rust called
spores, have been taken from the barber
~, placed on the wheat, and the germin-
alton watched with the microscope. When
they grow they do not produce the bar
barry rust, from which they were taken,
out the regular wheat rust; while wheat
rust, seed or spores, put on the barberry,
produces barberry rust.
This fact so clearly ascertained is inn
portant, not only as showing that the
practical cultivator is often right, notwlth-
'tandlng the vigorous opposition OF the
men of science, who for years have assert
I'd with Buchanan, ave can no more be-
lieye barberry rust would produce rust in
wheat, than the rust of any other plant
would DO :" but it will have a remarkable
influence on the discussion now going on in
Toe English journals, about "abiogenesis,"
as the theory of spontaneous generation is
called, DIR. Bastian boiled water, so as
10 destroy all living germs, the air being
previously and aflerward excluded. Ex-
aiming this water after it had cooled,
aith microscope capable of magnifying
20 a thousandth of an inch, nothing like
life was seen. Soon after this it was again
examined, and small plants were found OF
about 600th of an inch in diameter. When
this plant natures, its spores can be seen ;
but as the spores which first originated
The plant could not be seen, it would seem
natural that the plant did not at first orig
mate from seed or spore, but was gener-
ated from some elements which themselves
had no life. But the experience in bar
berry rust, shows that plant may pro-
luce very different seeds TO those from
which 1t originated /; and so it may be
that these little plants sprang from germs
though invisible, and which we're capable
Of withstanding the great heat to which
the water was subjected.
We SEQ here, therefore, the Importance
Of a small fact. But for this many would
now be believers in the doctrine that a
life can originate from dead matter-that
is, spontaneous generation. At present,
il still remains improved.
1t is pity that 1t cannot be decided
one way or another with certainty. 1t
would open wonderfully new field in our
treatment of diseases in plants or animals.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
THE PAPER or THE PEOPLE


The TRIBUNE aims to be pre-eminently Mars
paper. Its correspondents traverse every State,
are present on every important battlefield, are
early advised of every notable Cabinet decision,
observe the proceedings OF Congress, of Legisla-
lures, and Oh Conventions, and report to US by
telegraph al that seems of general interest. We
have paid for one days momentous advices from
Europe by Gable far more than our entire receipts
for the issue in which those adyices reached our
readers. If lavish outlay unsIeanipo vigilance
and unbounded faith in tia iberaIitv and dis,
cernment of the reading pubhs will enable us TO
make journal which has no superior in the
accuracy, variety, and freshness Or its contents
THE TRIBUNE shall be such JournaI
To Agriculture and the subseryienl arts. we
have devoted, and shall peFsistently devue, more
means and space than any of our rival. We
aim to make THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE such PAPER
as no farmer can afford TO do without, however
widely his politics may differ from ours. Our re-
ports of the Cattle, Horse, Produce, and General
Markets. are so full and accurate, our essays in
calculation of the farmers calling and our regu-
lar reports of the Farmers Club and kindred
gatherings. so interesting, that the poorest
farmer will find therein mine OF suggestion and
counsel, of which he cannot remain ignorant
without po.itive and serious loss.
THE TRIBUNE has been, is, and must be a zeal
GUS advocate of Protection to Home Industry.
Regarding habitual idleness as the greatest foe
to human progress, the bane Of human happiness,
we seek to win our countrymen in masses from
the ensnaring lures of Speculation, of Traffic,
and of always over-crowded Professions, to the
tranquil paths of Productive Industry. We
would gladly deplete our over-crowded cities,
where thousands vainly jostle and crowd in mis-
guided quest of something to Do" to cover
prairies and plains with colonies absorbed in
Agriculture Mechanics and Manufactures, and
constantly projecting into the blank, void wilder
ness the homes and the works of civilized Mao.
Holding the Protection of Home Industry by dis
eliminating duties on imported Wares and Fa-
brics essential to the rapio, benefcent diffusion
of Production in all its phases and Department.
and so to the instruction of our people in all the
gainful arts of Peace, we urge our countrymen to
adhere to and uphold that policy in unooubting
faith that the true interest, not OF a class or
section but of each section and every useful class
Is thereby subserved and promoted.
We sell THE WEEKLY to Clubs, for less than its
value in dwellings, for waste-paper; and, though
its subscription is already very large, we believe
that half Million more farmers will take it
whenever it shall be commended TO their atten-
ton We ask our friends everywhere TO aid US
in so commencing 1t,

LIVE AND DRESSED WEIGHT IN Hoes.
An honest, intelligent and enterprislng
farmer Of Rosendale, Wisconsin, Asa Sis
son, having made thorough test in this
matter recently, said that he was willing
and anxious that his brother farmers should
have the benefit of his experience in this
matter, and wished to give the same to the
public through the medium of the press
Mr.. S. slaughtered six pigs about five
and half months old, their average
weight per head was:
Live, 100 pounds dressed, 1913
pounds; aggregate live weight, 1140
pounds; aggregate dressed weight, 900
pounds. Shrinkage per head, % IA per
cent. Mr.. S. was offered $4,75 per hun
bred live weight, or 1925 dressed.
He concluded to kill them himself, and
he was particular to put them on the scales
Just before they were stuck, and after they
were dressed. He sold them for 1925
per hundred. and found by thus doing a
margin Of S6,4l in his favor, was the re-
suit He SAID that he did not claim that
his pigs were anything of which he wished
10 boast, but TO show the profit in slaugh-
tering, instead Of selling at the prices
which are generally offered for live weight
The standard from which to afix the
prices may be difficult for those who are
experienced, but I have been told by
butchers that the shrinkage is greater in
such pigs IN proportion than with large,
fat hogs. Six dollars aud forty -oue cents
is quite an item to save on such small
scale as here brought TO view. Economy
is first rate capital for the farmer as well
as Others. Cor. WeStern Farmer.

PHILADELPHIA BUTTER-How IT Is
MADE This butter has almost national
reputation for excellence, and is sent in
considerable quantities to private parties
At New York and Washington for high
prices. A prominent manufacturer, living
not far from the city, gives Mr.. Lyman

York, some particulars of the course and
care of its production. What be says i;

room does not vary much from So degrees.
The milk is skinned clean, and as each
skinner is put in the cream pot, it is
stirred in the pot, and the churning is
done CnCe a week, Summer and winter.
Just before the butter gathers, a bucket OF
ice cold water is thrown into the churn.
This hardens the butter in the small par
ticles and makes fine grain. In working
we get out all the buttermilk without the
use Of the hand. A better way is to
absorb the drops with linen cloth wrung
from cold water. The first working re-
moves all the milk, and in the second we
handle delicately with fingers as cool as
may be. Salt little less than one ounce
to the pound. The balls weigh one pound
each. On packing for market each ball
is wrapped in linen cloth with the ad-
dress of the marketman on it. The most
scrupulous neatness prevails throughout
the process. Milk which upon leaving
the udder flies through the air loaded with
stable perfumes, will not make butter that
will sell for one dollar pound. No milk

Pennsylvania butter makers use a ceder

is lined with tin, having projections for
holding little shelves on which the butter
IS placed. There Is n small ice chamber
at each end of the tub. Mr.. Lyman states
that there are a thousand families in New
York city who would use 5000 pounds Of
this butter a week, and to whom a price
