Garden Tools.

Farmers who have gardens to cultivate,
VIII Ind 1t much easier to put and keep
'hem ID good order by having good tools
and appliances. A perfect implement
may cost dollar more than a poor one.
and enable the gardener to paw for this
difference three times week by the more
rapid work it will do for the twenty weeks
OF the season, or sixty times over in a
year. 1t is therefore well to examine the
TOOLS on hand, put those in perfect order
that require it, and procure new ones
where desirable. In making garden beds
and planting seed, we often see muob
needless labor expended 10 drawing single
drills IN slow and tedious manner. A
coarse rake, made especially for making
drills, will greatly expedite the work A
simple and very good one for this purpose
consists Of stout wooden head and han.
die and half a dozen thick wooden teeth
Inc head may be five feet long, and have
SIX teeth about 10 inches apart. For
crops requiring wider rows, larger rake
may be made, placing the teeth foot or
hiteen inches apart. Or the teeth may be
seven inches apart for smaller plants, and
for larger ones only every alternate drill
planted. Make the first set of rows
straight by running the ontside tooth q.
long a stretched cord, and afterwards let
the same tooth successfully follow in the
last previous drill Two or three such
rakes, of different sizes, would often be a.
great use. ~
IN small gardens, in the absence of
drilling machines, such small seed as tnr
nlps, &C., may be dropped along the drills
without STOPPING, BY mailing a small tin
cup to the lower end of stick about The
SIZE OF walking cane, and making a hole
IN the bottom just large. enough to allow
'he J, see go to escape. Walk along the drill

Mr.. Gregory 6nds sheep the most

good grade fine Wool sheep, that average
six pounds or more Of good washed wool
keeps from 10 to 200 old sheep, aud
raises from 90 to 100 lambs a year. His
surplus sheep are fed for mutton; has
never sold sheep any other way, except
some for good prices to take west, during
the great sheep excitement. Those fatted /
generally average about J 10 pounds, and
sell at home for 6 to Sc. a pound live
weight; feeds clover hay and corn twice
a day, but only feeds a bushel of corn to
60 sheep. This is divided so as to feed
corn twice day, little at time, remoy.
ing all that is left each time. This hay Is
OF the best quality, cut early aud well
cured, aud retaining all the leaves heads,
aud fine aroma Of the clover. His neigh.
bors wonder how he makes his sheep do so

Guilty in keeping any hold upon the
affection of the Spanish people if his
admirers adopt such summary methods
of enforcing loyalty as the one described
in the following story: A Madrid cor
respondent of the Independence Beige
says that most inhuman act has .just
been committed at Ferrol on board of
the Ferrolana, Spanish war frigate, an
act which merits universal condemna-
ton. 1t is custom in the Spanish
navy to read every Sunday, at the con-
clusion of the religious service and be-
fore the assembled crews of war vessels
on deck, the penal maritime code. On
the Sunday in question this formality
had just been completed according to
the usual custom when Senior Louis
Cadarro, the second in command (the
commander being absent), cried out
aloud "God save the Kingw which ex-
clamation was met by deadly silence.
Senor Cadarro repeated the cry n second
and third time, but on each occasion
it met the same cold reception. Burning
with rage at this result, he ordered the
whole crew to be decimated, which was
carried QUITO the letter. The counting
commenced, and every unfortunate
upon whom fell the fatal number 10
was taken out of the ranks and received
100 lashes. This barbarous sentence
was executed in the presence of and to
the manifest disgust Of the officers,
who, as well rs the poor sailors, had re-
fused to join in the cry of "God save

A Mysterious Prairie Grave.

A boy named Lowe, when driving cat
tie on the prairie, on yesterday morn
ing, west Of Humboldt park, whilst gal
Looping rapidly about directing his drove,
without paying particular attention to
his footing, suddenly found himself
pitched forward, almost over his horses
head, by the animal sinking into a loose
Uncovered hole. The lad being curious
to know what this hole in the solitary
prairie could mean, dismounted and ex.
amined it, and after q brief inspection,
to his horror came across the decayed
boards Of coffin, about three feet be-
low the surface, containing the rottening
corpse of a man, or more properly
speaking, skeleton, there being scarce
ly piece of flesh adhering to the bones.
1he boy gave information to the police,
and Officer John II. Kennedy was dis
patched, by Sergt. Douglas, to the lone
ly grave, to inquire into the matter.
He found that the case containing the
bones had rotted away, having the APP
pearance of being inferred for some
years, probably five or six, and that the
only article that had not resolved into
mere dust and shreds was a pair of
shoes. There are no roads within "a con-
siderable distance f the place, and no
one living within sight knows anything
whatever on the subject. The remains
await the action of the coroner, should
he decide to hold an inquest. - Chicago
