Captain Jnck's Cave.

The Boston Transcript publishes an
extract from private letter giving an
account of the first visit of q white
man t. Captain Jacks cave:
II directed Bogus Charley to take
the lead to the famous caves, which no
white man had ever visited, and to sec
which was the object of my expedition.
Bogus was in doubt whether he could
find the trail; it had been so long since
he was there-somc two years. But
told him 10 make the trail, and we
started off in single file, Bogus on the
lead, then myself, c. j. and the en-.
listed men. had a carbine, G. and J.
pistols, and the soldiers Springfield
breech-loaders Charley had no weap-
ons, SO if he meant treaohery he would
be the first victim. It was intensely
hot, and after tumbling and scrambling
over rocks for four hours, Charley came
to IL halt, saying he had lost the track.
I ordered rest of few minutas, and
then told Charley to try again.
We were then almost to the middle
of the lava beds, which were twenty
to twenty-five miles long by from
seven to nine miles wide-that is to
say, we were about four miles from
our starting point in straight line,
though we had Travelled about seven.
In about half an hour Charley, as he
raised crest, discovered juniper
tree, which was the mark he was look
ing out for, and informed me that the
caves were within one hundred yards
of the tree, which latter was distant
from US about five hundred yards. We
made the last quarter stretch in a
hurry, and sure enough there was
Cave. Charley descended and then
turned to me, as began to descend,
and said, leave your gun
gave my carbine to one of the
men, and descended about thirty feet.
Charley and proceeded to the mouth
of a cavern, and as went in Charley
said, You first white man that ever
come here entered the first cave,
which found to be three hundred feet
long by forty-tive feet wide and thirty
to thirty five feet high, lighted from
the top by two holes in the roof extend
ing to the surface of the ground there
were side galleries and tunnels running
from the floor to the outside surface of
the ground in all directions. Eagle
nests adorned the ceilings, and
mountain sheep tracks dotted
the dust, which lay several
inches thick on the bottom of the
cave. stalactites hung on the sides.
This was the first cave and the largest.
After passing through this we came
into daylight again, into another
crater, on the opposite side of which
was hole large enough for man to
conveniently enter. Charley went in
first, and finding it dark, we got some
sage brush to burn for light. As we
had no means of keeping u light, and
the bottom of cave No. 2 was strewn
with large rocks, difficult to climb over
and then turn back. The third cave
was opposite the entrance to No. l, and
upon examination presented the same
features as the others. The first cave
entered was the largest. We then
turned our faces lakeward, found our
traps unmolested during our absence,
and had dinner.

MANY Of orr rn91nra xvho ORC 1ooL;,,

MANY of our readers who are looking
about for something to do, can find
pleasant and profitable employment in
the business of life insurance. It re-
quires no capital, save horse and
buggy to travel through the county,
and to active men the recompense is
certain. We recommend the selection
OF some strong old company like the
New York Life, with large assets and
liberal plans, one that is popular
wherever known, and one too that
everybody knows. A man who takes
applications for life insurance is doing
good. 1t is in every sense a good
business. A letter dropped to the
home Office of this company, ut 346
and 348 Broadway, New York, will meet
with ready response. Try it.-Com.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Working Corn.

The Farmers Union says: "The
great evil to the corn crop in this part
of the West is farmers will work it too
much. OF course the weeds must be
subdued, but the practice Of putting a
shovel pillow into the cornfield up to the
beam is bad one, especially after it
is in the tassel or silk. Before that
time this king of pillow may be used
with profit. The breaking off of the
roots of corn by blowing has a tendency
to put back the ripsning of the crop.
New roots and fibres have no form,
which retards the growth of tho ears
and grain"

Mildevv ON Vines.

From Investigations made at the
Department of Agriculture by Thomas
Taylor, who is conducting the micro
scopic Investigations on fungolds. or
mildew, we learn that preparation of
carbolic acid soap, used az wash, is a
means of preventing or destroying
the minute parasites. A solution OF
suiphuret Of lime or carbolic SOAP
destroys tho seed spores. Mr.. Taylor
found that the grap pcs might be trim
med ever SO closely, still enough of
the seed is left to develop rapidly
wherever heat was applied sufficiently
to start them into vegetation. It was
found that dry heat developed the
European mildew (Erysiphe Tuckeri)
very rapidly, and that moist heat was
very favorable to the growth of the
American mildew Q}otrytis villocs).
The trimmings and leaves of vines in
grape houses should be gathered up
and burned, and it appears that the
vines when trimmed should be washed
carefully with the solution of sulphuret
of lime and carbolic acid, and thus the
spread of the mildew may be material
~ checked.

Abortion i'm Cows.

What is the cause and remedy O.
G. w. Ans.-Arrest of the nutrition
of the f@tus from weakness of low
feeding on the part of the COW, or from
the occurrence of state of fever or in
hammation which checks the secretion
for the nourishment of the calf, as it
does all others in the body, sometimes
causing premature expulsion of the
progeny. Bad odors have proven
equally noxious; thus few years ago
abortion was banished from q farm in
this country by draining a pool Of
liquid manure. The draining of wet or
marshy lands, and the removal of stag
nant pools containing decomposing or
ganic matter from which the COWS were
accustomed to drink, have equally put
q stop to it. Some cases have been
traced to the fetid discharges from
unhealthy Wounds, and others to the
close, sitting air of the COW house,
loaded with putrid emanations from
the lungs, skin, dung, and urine of the
cows. Remove the cause, and the
COWS will cease to abort.

Why Glover Improves the Soil.

Why Glover Improves the Soil.
Professor Tockler thus explains the
action of clover increasing the fertility
of soil:
"All who are perfectly acquainted
with the subject must have seen that
the best crops of wheat are produced
by being preceded by crops of clover
grown for seed. I have come to the
conclusion that the very best prepare
ton, the best manure, is a good crop
of clover. A vast amount of mineral
manure is brought within reach of the
corn crop which, otherwise, would re-
main in a locked-up conditionin all the
soil. The clover plants take nitrogen
from the atmosphere, and manufacture
it into their own substance, which on
decomposition of the clover roots and
leaves, produces abundance of ammo
mia. In reality, the growing Of clover
is equivalent, to great extent, to ma
nuring with Peruvian Guano.
Take, for instance, red clover, the
best Of all green manures. The great
English chemist, Prof. Way, of the
Royal Agricultural College at Ciren-
cester, made perfect analysis of dry
red clover, and found every one hun
bred parts to contain as follows.

Hints to Beginners In Bookkeeping.
The chief trouble with beginners in
bee-keeping is, that they will not 60 to
the slight expense and small trouble
necessary to get informed on the sub
ject. They buy hive of
bees, about which they know
nothing, except that bees can sting,
and that their honey is nice,
and then leave it to take care of itself.
It is needless to say that this is a very
foolish course to adopt. What wonder
that only failure and loss are the RESULT
It would DO the same in sheep raising,
dairying, or any other line of farming.
While, therefore, we advise the farmer
to make Bookkeeping one of the many
lines of industrial pursuit, we qualif y
the advice by urging that it be by no
means entered into without seeking in
formation in regard to it. This can
easily be obtained from books on
agriculture, and from bee journals.
