A REAL CURIosITY.-We noticed in the window of
Whitney's Bookstore recently, a real curiosity of the
olden time, being the feather helmet (mahi-ole) of
Kaumualii, the last King of Kauai. 1t is a very
rare specimen of the ancient handiwork of these
Islands, and ought to be purchased by the govern
ment, for the museum for the establishment of which
the Legislature made q provision last summer.

Z SOME PoRK-Mr. James L. Lewis, of Marshfeld,
on the Waikiki road, slaughtered a hog this week,
one of his own raising, that weighed when dressed
56S pounds. The animal was two years old, and
was fed entirely on corn. The subject irresistably
suggests a meditation on that delicious Hawaiian
dish known as "luaued pork"

FIRE on WEDNESDAY NIGHT.-At about ~half-past
'pine on Wednesday evening the alarm of FIRE was
sounded, and the different companies turned out
promptly and had a brisk run up town with their
machines. The alarm was caused by the burning
OF a small native house at the entrance Of PauOa
Valley, which caught fire by a mosquito curtain
coming in contact with a lamp. The house which
was isolated, was leveed with the ground in a very
few minutes, and there was no occasion for the
labors of the 6remen.

A Priceless Receipt for Farmers.

Every farmer who has to fence his land
knows too well how quickly posts planted in
the earth become rotten, especially in damp
spot All of them will welcome the following
process to prevent rottenness, a process as
wonderful in its effects rs it is simple and al
most costless. 1t is taken from lie Bien Public.
of Dion, France.
Take linseed oil, boil it aud mix it with char
coal dust until the mixture has the consistence
of an ordinary paint. Give to the posts a
single coat of the mixture or paint before plant
ing them, and no farmer, even living the age of
patriarchs of old,.will live long enough to see
the same posts rotten.
"Some years ago T discovered the way Of
rendering wood more durable in earth than
iron ITSELF" says the author of the communica-
ton, "but il seemed to me 80 simple, and 80
inexpensive, that 1 did not think it worth
while to make much ado and fuss about it.
Posts of soft wood thus prepared were removed
after remaining seven years in earth, and were
found as sound MS when they were planted.
The only precaution to take is to use only
well dried posts before covering them with
the charcoal paint"
The above receipt is certainly cheap, and
seems to bo well worth the trial. If what is
said of the efficiency of that simple and cheap
(about two cents per posD process be only half
true, certainly it wonld save yearly millions
of dollars to the farmers and telegraph compa-
MES For it is said that the farmer, even in
his teens, who will plant posts having received
a coat of this Perpetuity Post Paint, will never
live long enough to see the same post rotten.

THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH.

Unlike the last, the present month, calls for
great industry and activity OIL the part of the
farmer. Harvesting crops already made, plant
ing those of fall and winter and preparation Of
land forlnext years crop, such as turning under
weeds, pea vines &C., now demand attention-a
word Of caution to our young friends who have
little farming experience. Cotton picking will
be under full headway by the end Of the month.
1t is excellent rule never to let the opening get
much ahead of the picking-keep close up with
it. The reason is two fold, LIST, the sooner it is
picked after it opened, the cleaner and nicer it
wl;be, and the less danger of being beaten out
and lost by storms; 2d, The days are now LONG
AND WARM and q hand can pick much more
IN day than in the short and cold days of Oc-
tober and November. When cold weather sets
In cotton picking is one of the most disagree
able Jobs to be done on the farm. Cotton
picked now, will be green and damp-not fit
to be put up in bulk nor to be nicely ginned-

to sun it-tllat picked in the forenoon should

in large heaps.
To avoid risk OF fire, ginning and packing
should keep pace with the p;ckifg the

places. The gin house is the most dangerous
place to keep cotton; experience since the war

THE YANKEE SCARPET-BAGGER.

We've suffered much by wars rude touch,
!. But the load that makes us stagger,
is that accursed thing they call
Tis Yankee ;carpe tbagger.
BY honeyed words and phrases sweet, 81
BY one means or another, af g
BY party lash, by threat or treat,
~ he dupes his sable brother a 4
V He hugs him and he flatters him,
~. - Pats him, calls him honey t
And thus he greases the machine,
BY which he makes his money.
~ !Attelling lies, he is au fat.
At stealing he's perfection;

Not that for this he'd care straw,
Nor damaged reputation;
He snaps his fingers at the law
~p--rr He'd lose the situation. +
Like Spartan youth to theft he's trained,
y But not to. save the nation So;
To leave it with its Treasury drained
is finished education.
He'll sell the sheds from our heads,
The taxes he must gather,
And say to us don't make fuss
And never mind the weather.
He comes 10 CLEAN by tricks SO mean,

Called loudly for great James L, Orr
To save him from disaster.
Orr called meeting for reform;
Some dozen rogues attended,
Confessed their faults in solemn form,
Bnt never one amended.
But every dog must have his day,
And SO the carpetbagger,
Aadsin good! time he'll pass away
Without the aid Of dagger.
Nor should he feel the patriots steel
'Twould do him too much honor;
Just give him rope, himself he'll hang
The halter he was born for.

FALL PLoUGHINa.

Whenever the ground is damp enough, two
horse turn ploughs should be kept constantly
going, larying the weeds before they have ma
itured their r'seeds. If hands cannot be spared
from the cotton field hire extra hands enough
for This purpose--no work on thefarm pays
better than fall ploughing. 1t is luxury to
work in the spring, land well turned in the
fall, it is SO loose and mellow.

EDITOR News; In this vicinity
we have one OF the most enterpris-
ing farmers and stock raisers that
can be found In any part of Kan
sas. It has been q mystery to
some of his brother stock raisers
how he manages to winter his large
herd ef stock on so small q guam
tity of hay. His herds would be
seen out on the prairie in January
feeding on the dry grass, and eat
ing it as greediiy as if they were
on the green pastures of June.
This enterprising farmer had been
so successful in raising and feed
ing native stock he has tried his
success in Texas stock. Late Last
fall he bought one hundred aad
five head of Texas cows, intend
ing, in the spring, to run the dairy
business for all it was worth: haV-
ing learned, through the columns
of TIE News, by your Americas
correspondent, that there was large
profits to be realized by engaging
in manufacturing cheese. This
enterprising farmer brought his
herd Of Texas cows home in De-
cember last. Wishing to winter
his Texas cattle SIS cheaply as he
had his native stock, he had them
turned out on the prairie with his
native herd. They ate the dry
grass as eagerly as his native stock.
The mystery was, how does he learn
stock to eat the dry, dead grass?
But it was solved at last. By a
close examination of his herd it
was found that he put green cog
giles on the eyes of his cattle, and
everything they see looks green.
Cattle are not very sensitive to
taste, aud the deception works
well. On the first of March this
enterprising farmer had f1fty-six
Texas COW hides ready for market,
and forty nine Texas cow hides
wrapped around very poor, bony
carcasses; yet the enterprising
farmer says it was the cold wealth
ar killed his COWS, for he knows
they were well fed.
If Sam Snyder would visit Ivy
and Washara, two Of the wards of

6ne his stay and observations to
Waterloo, in Reading township, he
would have better opinion OF the
