An Immense Factory,

A writer in the Engineering and Min
ing Journal gives some figure in connec-
tion with the immense steel works be-
longing to the Messrs. Krupp, at Essen,
Germany. They cover about one square
mile, one-fourth of which space is under
cover. Mr.. Krupp employs 10000 work.
men, 5000 in the steel works, and the
rest in mines and blast-furnaces. Moth
ing but steel is made at Essen. The
product in 1866 was 6l 800 tons of cast
steel. The works contain over so steam
hammers from 120 pounds weight up to
80 tons; there are several of 25 and
l5 tons. The great fifty-ton hammer is
the largest in the world; it cost $780,
600. The foundations for it are 100 feet
deep, in three parts, of masonry, large
oak trunks and cylinders, bolted togeth-
er. The anvil and frame rest on these,
the rest of the hammer having separate
foundations, to save the jar. Four
cranes, each capable of bearing 200 tons,
at the four corners of the hammer, serve
it with the red-hot masses. Krupp in
tends to build hammer of 100 tons
At these works are made the immense
cannon OF the Prussian army.

who lives on Arlington avenue, was en-
gagged in the dry goods trade some twen-
ty-tive or thirty years ago. He failed,
paid forty cents on the dollar, but sever
al years after was fortunate in business,
and paid dollar for dollar on his indebt-
edness. From the dry goods business
he went into the East India, San Do
mingo, and provincial trade, and at one
time monopolized the former, and be.
coming exceedingly wealthy he engaged
in the shipbuilding business, in which
he has been one of the heaviest dealers,
having contracted and bought and sold
more vessels than any two leading men
in the country.

Senator Sprague's Encounter with n
Buffalo.

Senator Sprague visited Kansas few
weeks ago, and, like all other Eastern
visitors, wanted to see the buffalo on his
native heath. Accordingly, BENZ. Akers,
Esq, OF this city, got up party, and
with the Senator, went out to the buffalo
country. A few miles from Fort Wal
lace they found the bisons in thousands,
and the hunters event in" Mr. Akers
singled out an old patriarch of the herd,
chased him few miles, and after q few
successful shots, brought him down.
After his own game was secure, he COM
menced looking around for the rest of
the party. The Senator had also singled
out an old bull, had driven him apart
from the rest Of the herd, and was in a
little ravine about two miles distant
from Akers, but in plain view. The buff
falo had been wounded, and showed
fight. The Senator would pursue him
for short distance, but would then be
compelled to turn his horses head in the
other direction, and get out of the way
of the maddened animal; once, in wheel
ing suddenly, his horse fell, and the bull
was right upon him in an instant. Akers
says this was one of the closest calls he
ever saw-so close, indeed, as to leave no
doubt in his mind that there would very
soon be a necessity for special Senator
ial election in Rhode Island, to fill va
cancy;" but just in the nick of time the
valiant Senator regained his seat in the
saddle and was off like the wind, his
horse being stimulated by sharp
"punch" from the bulls horn. 1t seems
that Mr.. Sprague had pursued the ami
NAL closely, fired several shots upon him,
wounding him severely, but not fatally
and that his ammunition had then given
out; Mr.. Akers, comprehending the sit
uation, came to his assistance and rein
forced him with few rounds, when the
bull was promptly brought down. The
Senator brought in with him the head
of the animal, and is having it "cured'
to take home, as trophy of his skill and
prowess as a buffalo-hunter.- cen.

Mrs. Lambert's Demoralized Cow.

Since Mrs. OLeary's COW got her
name in the papers, the whole envious
bovine family are cutting up didoes to
secure an equal notoriety. The latest
exploits are by COW belonging to a
Mrs. Lambert of Bay City, Michigan.
Exploring the back yard on recent
evening she put her head into a barrel,
which she couldn't get off, and becom-
ing very much frightened at her con-
dition, she blindly forced her way into
the wood shed, thence into the kitchen,
and thence into the dining-room of the
house, becoming all the while more
furious. From this room she made her
way into the parlor, throwing down
and trampling under foot everything
that came in her way. Mrs. Lambert
aroused her husband who arose, but
finding he could do nothing, went for
help.
The COW next rushed into the bed
room where Mrs. Lambert, with a little
baby and one child occupied bed, and
another little child crib in front of it..
The enraged animal mounted the bed,
but help arrived, and not an instant too
soon. The window was raised from the
outside, and a neighbor ATTEMPTED to
enter, when the barrel give him blow
which knocked him back against the
fence. The children were at last secured
and passed through the window, and
Mrs. Lambert soon followed. The door
of the bedroom was then closed and the
COW left to herself. She finally became
soothed, and walked out after demolish-
ing all the nice furniture in the lower
part of the house.-SprinQfeW RepaWi-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

oTAToEs-CAUsEs OF DETER1oRA-
T1oN.--We all have observed the great
deterioration in our potato crops, during
the past ten or twenty years /; and what
is the cause of this alarming decrease of
tubers ? Can science or chemistry point
out the reason, or aid in remedying the
difficulty We think it can, and in Or
der to place the matter in q clear light,
we will point out the kind and amount
of food which the potato demands. We
had field of potatoes upon the farm,
which yielded 800 bushels to the acre I;
this may be regarded as an old-fashion-
ed crop. This crop removed from the
soil in tubers and tops at least 400 pounds
of potash also it removed $50 pounds
of phosphoric acid. Now these amounts
are very large, and serve to show that
the potato plant is great con sumner OF
the two substances, and also it shows
that in order to restore our potato fields
to their former productive condition, we
must supply phosphate compounds and
substances holding potash in large guam
titles. For six or eight generations in
New England, our fathers have been ex-
hausting the soil, by removing these
agents in their potato and other crops,
and we have reached the time when the
vegetable is starving in our fields for
want of its proper food. Our farmers
have found that new land gives the best
crops, and this is due to the fact that
such fields afford the most potash. But
SO long as we crop our pastures 80 un-
reasonably, we cannot resort to new
land, as land is not new that has had its
potash and phosphoric elements removed
by grazing animals. Remember that q
potato field which gives but 100 bushels
to the acre, requires at least 100 pounds
of potash but allowing the tops to de-
cay upon the field, 60 pounds of this is
restored to the soil again, as that amount
is contained in them medium crop of
potatoes requires twice as much phos-
phoric acid as q medium crop of wheat,
so that with two years with wheat the
land is deprived of no moro than the
agent than it does in one year with po-
tatoes.-BoSton Journal
How TO CURE HAMs.-The meat af-
ter being cut out, must be rubbed, piece
by piece, with very finely powdered
saltpeter, on the flesh side, and where
the leg is cut off, tablespoonful (not
heaped) to each ham, a dessert spoonful
to each shoulder, and about half that
quantity to each middling and jowl ;
this must be rubbed in. Then salt it by
packing thin coating of salt on the
flesh side of each piece, say one half
inch thick, pack the pieces on scaffold-
ing, or on a floor with strips of plank
laid a few inches apart all over it (that
is, under the meat,) the pieces must be
placed skin side down, in the following
order: First layer, hams; second, shoul-
ders; third, jowls; fourth, middlings-
take the spare-ribs out of the middlings.
The meat must lie in this wise Six
weeks if the weather is mild-the brine
being allowed to run off freely.
