A MAN of Iowa Falls, who has q lime

Mr.. MECH, the great scientific farmer,
sums up the results of The English har-

600, 900, 900 sterling more than in good

AN English scientific journal states
that oxalic acid promotes the sprouting

THREE HUNDRED. barrels of American
apples were recently sold by auction in
London, Eng. Each barrel contained
from two and quarter to two and one

material was used, as they tend to make
the fruit moldy.
A CORRESPONDENT says that in bots or

DURING recent discussion in En-
gland, it was stated that the most sue
cessful lines of short-horns were those
in which one animal was the sire of the
dam also, thus making the parents half
brother and sister by the same sire, out
of different dams. This system of
breeding had produced some of the
finest cattle in the country. It was also
said that where cattle were closely in
bred and preserved their constitutions,
they had tendency to lose color, save
perhaps in the ears, and to become

The Boston Fire.

The commissioners appointedto inves-
tigate the cause and management of the
Boston fire have made a report. They
find that the fire was not the work of an
incendiary, that it commenced in the
rear of the basement of the building first
destroyed, that for many minutes after
it was discovered no alarm was given,
though crowd of people were watching
its progress /; that as soon asst was known
to the patrolman on the beat he gave an
alarm promptly, but the engines were
slow in reaching the scene, because the
engine horses were sick. There was a
scarcity of water and of fuel, and it soon
became apparent that the engines were
not powerful enough to throw effective
streams of water upon the high build
ings in the neighborhood- The firemen
worked bravely, and the apparatus was
in coed condition, but there was want
of system, and though the chief of the
department is praised for his courage,
the report throws doubts upon his fitness
to command in such an emergency.

Your coy crib is ia the corner yet;
1 sit and watch it, just as day is dead.
You cannot press again, my vanished pet,
Its pillow with your drowsy golden head.
You cannot reaoh plump arms to get my kiss,
Or dart about with rosy, naked feet
Babbng soft syllables of that and this
A tiny, night-gowned fairy, blithe and sweet.
Once and for all you have lain down to rest,
Not to rise up because of birds or beams,-
Once and for all, with white flowers on your breast
To slumber coldly and to dream no dreams.
Empty the home where, frolicsome and fair,
Your precious presence made so bright part;
Empty your little crib your clothes, your chair;
But emptiest of all, your mothers heart.

Manure Heap.

If your compost heaps are under
sheds and refuse to heat, either turn
them in mild weather to encourage fer
mentation, or make holes in the top with
a crowbar, and pour in large quantities
of boiling water or boiling spent I've.
The covering up of few heated bricks
in a manure heap will often engender
fermentation or burying a lump Of I'M
Stacked lime in compossed heap will
cause fermentation, from the amount of
latent heat rendered present during the
Stacking of the lime. If compost is
dry, add water, and the mass will soon
be in fair heat indeed, the pile should
never be too dry, or the contents will
fire-fang, and thus much of its value will
be dissipated.

Bill Baker owned fighting dog,
brindle, coarse-haired brute,
Whose chief delight was to engage
In canine dispute; l
An ill-conducted, vicious. cross.
Stub-tailed, hair-lipped, crop-eared,
And red-eyed, canine nuisance.
By the neighborhood CANNES feared.
Bills dog came down the street on a
Diagonal dog trot,
looking for some other dog.
For whom to make it hot
When, on scrubbv looking brute,
His vision CHANGED to fall,
Staring from out q looking glass
That leaned against the wall.
Bills dog surveyed that strange canine,
With sinister regard,
And doubted if he'd ever seen
A dog look quite SO hard.
The more he gazed, the less respect
He felt within him stir,
For that demoralized, cross-grained
And hang-dog looking cur.
That stranger dog returned Bills dogs
Insulting stare, in kind,
Which tended to still more disturb
Bills CANNES peace of mind.
With every bristling hair along
His back, he fercely frowned,
And curled his tail until it raised
His hind feet from the ground.
And showed his teeth, and cooked his ears,
And otherwise behaved
1mpertinently, as dogs do
Whose instincts are depraved;
But all his hostile signs were met
By signs as hostile, quite,
And Bills dog felt himself compelled
To sink away or fight.
He flew INTO that looking glass
With all his might and main
Filled with chagrin and broken glass,
He soon flew out again.
Reflection showed Bills dog that ne
Had got into scrimmage,
Through indignation at the sight
OF his own hideous image.
The knowledge OF his aspect quite
Destroyed his self-esteem;
For the hideous reality
SURPASSED his widest dream.
Life lost, at once, all charm for him;
So, mOurnfully he steered
Into neighboring sausage shop
And never reappeared.
The moral of this doggerel
Is obvious, trust;
For there is moral lesson in
(Bill Bakers dogs disgust;
If some men knew how they appear
To others, they would hide
Themselves within sausage shop
That is, they'd suicide.

Sterling Coffee.

The following is recommended as being
a good way not only to settle coffee, but
to prevent the escape of its aroma. For
one pound of coffee, take one egg and
beat it well. When the coffee is nicely
Drowned and cool enough not to cook
the egg, pour the egg over it, stirring
until every kernel is coated with var
nish, and let it stand a few minutes in a
warm place until it dries. This will
prevent the escape of all the aroma. 1t
is not affected by moisture, and the egg
helps the coffee when it is ground and
stepped. "

FARM AND GARDEN.
Fodder Corn.


The subject of fodder corn is being
extensively argued just now. A CORE
spondent of the Country Gentleman
gives the following experience: We
have been in the habit of growing corn
fodder for fall feeding, and found it a
paying crop, having grown fodder enough
on one acre of ground to feed ten cows
for a month, with scarcely any other
feed, and our COWS did not decrease in
the amount of butter made, nor did the
butter lose its color. We have come to
the conclusion that it is as good a crop
as the farmer can raise. At the opening
of spring last year we found that our
meadows would be short, on account of
failure in seeding the year before. We
concluded to plant nine acres of corn for
fodder, eight acres of it for winter feed
ing, and one acre for feeding in the fall.
The piece of ground on which it was
planted had failed to take in seeding the
year before with oats it had no manure.
1t was the 18th and 18th of May. 1t
was cultivated twice and plowed once !;
planted one bushel per acre of Red
Blaze corn, an early kind, so that it
would be sure to ripen before frost
This was cut in the early part of Sep
TENDER, put into shocks the same as
other corn, and allowed to cure in the
shocks. The result was 1000 shocks on
the eight acres, which would feed twelve
COWS for one hundred days, one being as
much as a COW can eat in one day. We
are feeding it now to our stock, horses
and all. They seem to like it, and will
hunt after the nubbins of corn, Cor we
feed it without husking; and unlike
your correspondent, we shall, in seasons
when the hay crop will be short, plant
corn for fodder, as we can handle a great
deal of it without unbinding, and there
fore save time in housing it and also we
can feed our cows grain, without husk,
ing or grinding it.

Average Life of Farmers.

According to DR.. Nathan Allen, in a
late address before a farmers club at
Princeton, Mass, the farmers of that
State reach an age considerably greater
than those who follow any other occupa-
ton. The registration of deaths, care
fully made in Massachusetts for about
thirty years, forms the basis of the doc
tors assertion. On an average the far1a-
ers there live to be sixty-fve years of
age, merchants about forty-nine years,
mechanics about forty-eight years. We
hardly think that the average life of
Western farmers would be found to be
so long by several years as these of the
State In question, yet we presume the
relative difference of the length of life,
as compared with those of our mechanics
and business men, would be about the
same. The deaths from some particular
diseases are greater in number among
farmers than among some of the other
classes, such, for instance, as arise from
exposure to vicissitudes of the climate,
etc. !; and the cases of insanity are,
doubtless, more frequent among farmers
and farmers wives than among the peo-
pie of cities and towns of whatever occu-
patton. Farmer.

A Big Hog.

big hog.
Mr.. Charles W. Cushing, of South
bingham, Mass, writes the P1oughmaa
as follows, about hog he recently mar
keted: His age was two years and six
months. His breed three-quarters York
shire, one-eighth Columbia county, one
eighth Suffolk; his color, pure white; the
length of his body from end of the nose
to stern, seven and one-half feet; breadth
across his back, two feet; depth, three
and one-half feet; girth, seven and one
half feet. His head very small, well set
on to a breast and shoulders two feet
square, his ears small and very thin, legs
very short and small for hog of his
size, hair short and thin, skin as soft
and thin as Suffolk pig ten months old.
His live weight, 1,135 pounds; dressed
weight, 1,010 pounds. His feed was
three-fourths Indian meal, one-fourth
shorts mixed with warm water and a
little salt, mixing his breakfast the night
previous, and his supper in the morning,
mixed so thick that it would stay in a
pile when emptied into trough he had
no drink after Sept l. He had for his
dinner from August to the middle OF
November about peck of windfall and
refuse apples of all kinds, but mostly
sour.

children had been born to her, and she had
so won upon herhusband, that he abolish

that from time to time she should tell

the stories she told on those thousand

cited since in every language of Europe,
