A Burglars Blunder.

From the Burlington Qowa) Hawkeye.
1t becomes our painful duty to
record one of the most extraor-
binary burglaries in the history of

ism. 1t opens a new era in the
system of midnight calls, and
teaches a beautiful lesson of the
costliness of crime. At a dark
and early hour yesterday morn
ing the dog apptrtaining to one
OF our most prominent citizens in
dulged in big noise. which was
followed by the slamming of the
gate, and the sound of rapidly.re.
treating footsteps. The good
man of the house, on examining
the field of the short but decisive
fray was made glad by the dis
covery of a roll containing a con-
siderable amount of money. 1t
is conjectured that some one pock-
ct served the burglar both as bank
and arsenal, and that, in pulling
his pistol in compliment to the
dog, he pulled also his grcenbacks,
Our friend suggests that he will be
glad to receive such calls, at the
same price, at al times and, in
order to secure the patronage of
other like generous gentlemen, he
agrees to add to the attraction OF
his show the charms of double

To Make er.vinegar Rapidly.

Al. B. W." writes that he has sew
eral casks of cider which he can not
make into vinegar fast enough, and be
asks how he can hasten the process
AS there are probably many others just
now in his predicament, we describe and
illustrate a plan which has been found
to decidedly hasten the production of
vinegar from cider 1t is to elevate
the barrels upon a frame sufficiently
high above ground to admit of key
being placed. under the faucet, with a
frame of laths made in the shape Of a
funnel placed in it. The frame is loose
" filled with beech or birch shavings,
and stream of cider is allowed to run
out of the faucet into it and amongst
the shavings. Here it is separated
into great many small streams and
very thin sheets, and large surface is
thereby exposed to the air, and the pro-
cess of souring is very much fastened.
A further fastening is caused by putt
ing into the barrels a piece of brown
paper covered with brewers yeast, and
by proceeding in this manner vinegar
can be made in warm weather in a few
days. A faucet should be put into the
key about the middle, and as the keg
becomes filled, the cider should be
drawn off and returned into the barrel.
AS a matter of course this requires at
tention, but child is able to manage
it, and if the key is replaced by tub
or half-barrel, attention is only required
twice a day. The bung-holes of the
casks should be open, and should be
covered with piece of gauze or mos
quito-net to keep out flies and moths.

Cure for Roup.

When a bird is attacked with the
characteristic cough of this malady, or
has tenacious mucus about the beak
with difficulty of breathing, l place it
in wicker coop, in quiet shed, and
put before it drinking fountain con.
tanning about gill of water, with which
| have mixed one drop of tincture OF
aconite. In every instance during three
years, this treatment has had an effect
almost marvellous, for upon visiting the
patient an hour or two afterwards,
have found that the symptoms have
vanished. The attack for day or two
is liable to return, yet each time in a
lighter form, but continuing the appli.
cation has in no instance with US failed
completely to remove the ailment in
about forty-eight hours.
In case the disease should have made
so much progress before it is observed
that the sufferer is unable to drink, it
will be necessary to give the dose
This is easily accomplished by pouring
into the throat about a teaspoonful OF
the medicine as described Such an
instance occurred here during excessive
wet weather, when l was absent from
one of the houses two days. Upon
going to sec that all kept in condition,
] found one old fellow under one of
the perches almost dead from very acute
roup. l separated and dosed him i'm
mediately. He soon lost all the roupy
symptoms, but continued extremely
weak and appc AIRED to be fast sinking
from atrophy. A medical friend sug-
gested trying the homeopathic admin
istration of arsenic with the best result.

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
From actual experiment it has been
found that the droppings from four
Brahmas for one night weighed in one
case exactly h., and in another more
than 3-4 h., an average of nearly 4
ounces each bird By drying, this was
reduced to not quite 1-2 once. Other
breeds make less; but, allowing only
once per bird daily of dry dung, fifty
fowls will make, in their roasting house
alone, 10 cwt. per annum of the best
manure in the world. Hence IL an
acre of poultry will make more than
enough mannre for acre of land, I
cwt. of guano being the usual quantity
applied per acre, and poultry manure
being even richer than guano in ammo
MIA and fertilizing salts. No other stock
will give an equal return in this way;
and these figures demand careful atten-
ton from the large farmer. The ma
nure, before using, should be mixed
with twice its bulk of earth, and then
allowed to stand in heap, covered
with few inches of earth till decom-
posed throughout, when it makes the
very best manure which can be had.

ROAD FENCES.
From American Agricultural.

From American Ariculturist.
One of the admirable features of the
landscape in the new States and Terri
tories is the freedom from fences. In
some of the prairie States they have
begun right by compelling every man
to take care of his cattle, and holding
him responsible for all damage to his
neighbours crops. The fences mainly
are on the boundary lines of farms, and
these are often omitted. This gives
full sweep to all the modern implements
of husbandry-the cultivator, the horse
mower and reaper, the tedder-and pre-
pares the way for the steam-plow,
which can not be far in the future
There is great saving of time in the
cultivation of large fields free from all
Instructions. One great want of East
ern farms now is to get rid or the heavy
walls that our fathers have built at so
much expense. The two, three, and
four-acre fields want to be thrown to-
gether, and the fields arranged with
reference to the system Of rotation to
be pursued upon the farm. If it is a
four-years course, quarter that part of
the farm that is to be devoted to till
age, simply marking the corner bounds
with permanent stakes or stones. What
then, is to be done with our cattle -? On
the frontier the neighborhood make one
herd of their cattle, and boy or herd
er takes care of them at so much per
head. They are fed upon the public
lands. In the older States pastures are
already inclosed, and these need not be
disturbed until the tillage land is ar
ranged. In cases Of radical reform the
remedy is found in soiling Arrange
the barn with reference to keeping all
the cattle in stalls the year round, and
to making the largest amount of fertil-
izers possible. This is what we are
coming to in the Eastern States. If
we compete with the West successfully,
we must put our fences out of the way,
use more machinery, make more ma
nure, and cultivate the products con-
sumed in our own markets. A farmer
should be able to tell what crops are
grown at a profit, and what bring him
in debt. c.
