Swallowed hy NeSuyiuS,

The accident last September, by
which an Englishman and American
lost their lives while being lowered by
ropes into the crater of Nesuvius, had
a counterpart on January 10, when a
Belgian named LIE Miux and Swiss
named Schmidt met similar horrible
fate. These foolhardy tourists insist
ed on being lowered, and in spite of
Inconsistencies of the guides, took hold
of the loops and swung over the
gloomy void. The guides last warning
to them was not needed and they ven
tured in. Whether they were smoth-
cred with the fumes Of sulphur or,
missing step, were hurled into the
abyss, nobody will ever know Con-
trary to the advice of the guides, they
let so the Topped ropes, and ventured
into the orater's renesses. The tourists
above cried out, but no response came.
The guides were lowered repeatedly,
and several of the excursionists went
as far as the ropes would allow in
search of their comrades, but in vain.
This is the third disaster OF this nature
within the past ten years.

PerilS of the Season

The unacceptable winds and chilly fogs of spring
are unwelcome visitors to the feeble and aiing and
are by no means eongen1al to the healthy. If there
is any germ of disease lurking in the system, they
are sure to develop it, unless proper precautions
are taken to prevent such misfortune. Bilious
complaints, dyspepsia, nervous debility, rheuma
tis1n, Irregularities of the bowels, and disorders
which affect the kidneys, all aggravated by the
peculiar condition of the atmosphere at this
Invads who are subject TO any of these disorders,
or have predisposition thereto, should therefore
forearm themselves against danger by strengthen
ing the digestive organs, the nervous system and
the muscular fibre with daily doses of Hosetters
Stomach Bitters. There is period of the year at
which a stimulating tonic and regulating medicine
is more urgently required than in the spring; and
there is preparation of that class in which so

harmless form in Hostetter's Bitiers. 1t may be
stated positively, uncontradictable fact, that a
course Of this agreeable vegetable specific, COM

months, will efectually shield the inhabitants of
marshy and miasmatic localities from the intermt-
tent and remitent fevers ca;sed by unhealthy ex-
halations from wet SOIL

SINCE the order issued by the Japan
csc Government requiring the natives
to cut off their queens, Yokohama is
said to present the appearance of being
inhabited by priests, with only a few
weeks crop of hair on their skulls.
Several cunning spectators, as soon as
the order was issued, bought up all
the hats in the city, and the price of
head coverings rose greatly in conse-
quence. All the orders sent to Kobe
and Osaka could not be filed nor
would they supply the demand if they
were. Many new orders for hats from
Europe and America have been the
consequence. The hat stores III these
countries will doubtless ship their old
stock to Japan, and though the J. lat
famine will be relieved, yet the sros.

questionable wear for the bead is re-
garded as something appal .lng.to think

Poultry Onlne Farm.

The ordinary farmer has this advan-
tage over the professional poultry
keeper-his fowls cost him little in the
way of food, and almost nothing for
care. He usually labors under the dis
advantages Of not giving his fowls
enough care, and managing some things
| about them with a great disregard OF
true economy. His fowls, during much
Of the year at least, live on food that
would otherwise have been wasted, Oh
on that the eating of which is a posi-
tive advantage to the owner. This
makes the eggs and poultry obtained
| almost matter of net gain. But be-
cause the fowls cost but little, furnish
es good reason for keeping those that
are useless-and such are kept on many
| farms. In many cases the stock is
never reduced by sale-only by deaths
| from old age, disease or accident, and
by killing good share of the young
| for home use.
We imagine that quite a number OF
our readers, If they would take the
trouble to look at their stock of poul-
try, would find one to half dozen
cocks which had better be disposed Of.
| on account of old age, quarrelsome
disposition, or because they are in
every way inferior fowls, simply left
over, having accidentally escaped kill.
ing when young; and also goodIy
number of venerable hens, or those
hobbling on frozen feet, etc. TO keep
sucn fowls over the winter will cost
something, and all this cost will be a
loss, for, even ii they do not die, such
fowls are almost useless. It viii be
much better to dispose of them now,
sending those fit for eating to market
or to the home table, and killing and
burying the others.
Many farmers would do well to thus
reduce their stock one-half. Better
care OF the remainder might follow with
advantage in many cases. 1t possibly
will be neither advisable or necessary
to build poultry house, but some
comfortable place could be provided
where the fowls may be protected from
the storms ana cold winds by day as
well as night, Every consideration of
economy Will dictate good feeding
during winter, so as to prevent the
fowls from becoming poor. Fowls
with insufficient food, or exposed to
severe storms, will not lay well, while
it is equally true that very many per-
sons do get a goodly number of
eggs during the winter months by
giving good food and comfortable
quarters to young healthy hens. We
would not advise farmers to pur-
chase large numbers of fancy poultry :;
but on many farms the stock has run
down by long interbreeding, poor care,
and no selection. In such cases a
change is certainly desirable, and this

that is transplanted, having the ground

from the water [ give the hand a
quick turn, throwing the roots of the
plant up, to prevent them sticking
together, and Immediately with the
right hand sprinkle dry earth over
the roots then set them in the ground
to the seed leaves. In this way the
ground remains loose about the plant,
and the young roots take hold of the
soil and need no shading. In setting
after rain many persons press the
earth SO tight about the roots that it
always remains hard, aud being
SO close to the roots it cannot be lOOs-

the rows five feet apart, and set out
four or five young suckers in each hill,
making the hills three feet apart in the
rows. Press the earth firmly round
the plants, and if the work is done in
moist weather, and as much earth as
possible is left round the roots, or, in
other words, if the suckers are taken
up, as gardeners say, with ball, y
they can be transplanted as easily as

Fast Walking EEGrScs.

The best gait horse has is the fast
walk. A slow walking horse is an
abomination. Who has patience with
such horse2 If you ride him OF drive
him, he exhausts your patience Ii he
is used to pillow, or harrow, Or go on
the road, he mopes along at snail's
pace. He does only about half the
work Of the rapid walker. Ii time is
money, you make money, because you
save time by having horse that walks
fast.
Breeders should pay attention to this
matter. In selecting stallion to breed
from, by all means select one that can
walk fast A slow walking stallion will
be likely to get slow walking colts ;
while the stallion that has a long, rap
id, spirited stride will be likely to be-
get colts with Il similar action.
Then there is a great deal III breed
ing to horse with spirit and ambition
These cold blooded horses will beget
cold-blooded colts. The nearer you
can approach to the thoroughbred,
even for obtaining a fast walker, the
better. There is game there, and spirit,
and endurance, and stamina and style.
There are the neat bony heads and
prominent eyes, the small ears, the
capacious nostrils, the large lungs and
chests, and the well developed muscles,
the bones as dense as ivory.
Even for walkers, then, get the near
est to thoroughbred possible, and the
same for trotters, and the same for
runners. You have, then, horses fit
for any company, and for any purpose
to haul the pillow, or buggy, or car
rage, or to carry you upon their backs.
Breed large, file mares, to thorough
bred horses, and you Will get colts that
you will not be ashamed to have yonr
friends see.

AGRICULTURAL.
How Glover Improves the Soil.


Prof. Voelcker thus explains the
action Of clover in increasing the fer
tility Of soils: "All who are practi-
cally acquainted with the subject must
have seen that the best crops of wheat
are produced by being preceded by
crops of clover grown from seed. |
have come to the conclusion that the
very best manure is a good crop of
clover e ga vast amount
of mineral manure is brought within
reach OF the corn crop, which otherwise
would remain in lookup condition of
the soil. The clover plants takes nitro
gen from the atmosphere, and manu-
facture it into their own substance,
which, on decomposition of the clover
roots and leaves, produces abundance
of ammonia. In reality the growing of
clover is equivalent, to a great extent,
to manufacturing with Peruvian guano;
and in this paper of mine l show that
you obtain a larger quantity Of manure
than in the largest dose of Peruvian
euano which a farmer would ever think
of applying.
