Rather Expensive.

The burning of q dead prince
in India is rather expensive. A
letter in the London Times describes
the combustion of His Highness
the Maharajah Of Jondhpore. The
corlsstt was dressed in royal robes
of brocaded cloth, and decked out
with jewelry valued at $4,000. Ia
front of the funeral procession
walked two elephants laden with
gold and silver coins to the amount
of S62,500, which were scattered
at every five hundred PAGES among
the spectators, to be scrambled for,
The corpse, shawls, and jewelry,
were all thrown together upon the
burning pile. From the day on
which His Highness died, 5000
Brahmins regularly received food
and largess of rupee each at
the palace gates. All the inhabi-
tants, by way of expressing their
grief, shaved off their boards,
monstaches, and the hair of their
heads. Tho lamented Rajah left
behind him a neat assortment of
wives and concubines, who were,
many of them, extremely desirous
to be burned with their late lord.
some because they were really griev-
ed at his loss, and others because
it was the fashionable thing to do.
1t was not permitted, however,
grcstly to tho disgust of the wild
ows.

Subsoiiing, &c.

All lands are benefited by subsoil-
ing, except those excessively sandy.
If it does no other good it prevents
washes. The great good which sub
soiling does, however, is it provides a
bed for the retention of moisture it
secures good drainage; it supplies
future ground for the roots of the
plants; and it attracts and gathers
more ammonia from the atmosphere.
Land plaster is a special fertilizer
for clover. Exactly how it acts up
on it is a disputed point; but it does
act, and acts vigorously, apply it
when you will. 1t is always better,
however, to apply it in spring before
the hot weather sets in and checks
the growth of the clover. Two BUSH
els per acre will do.
AS to turning under green clover,
there are various opinions. We do
not ourselves believe that the land is
enriched any more rapidly by turn
ing under the crop green. We rather
think the gases generated sour the
land and make it less productive
than when the clover falls down and
decays On the surface.
For sowing wheat, the land turned
over any time in August will do. 1t
should be narrowed in September at
wheat sowing, but not rebroke, as in
that case the trash would all be
thrown to the surface and rendered
worthless.

Sound on Farming.

The following views on farming
were thrown out by Mr.. Greeley in
his speech at Baltimore, and they so
entirely cover the ground of success
full culture that we give them a place:
/. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits of the
capital and labor employed /; or, in
other words, that on impoverished
soils no one should cultivate more
land than he could enrich with man
ure and fertilizers, be it one acre or
twenty.
2. That there should be law COM
pelling every man to prevent his
stock from depredating on his neigh
boris fields.
3. That green soil is more econom-
zeal than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farm
er's bank, and that everything should
be added to it that will enlarge it and
increase at the same time its fertiliz-
ing properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple alone, but
should seek to secure himself against
serious loss in bad seasons by diversi.
ty of products.

Saving Down Timber.

There has been much discussion in
the Rural New Yorker as to the best
method of saving down timber For
the benefit of Frank Bachelor and
Others, let me say: First commence
on the side of the tree you want it to
fall, saving in six or eight inches
according to the size of the tree, and
take out the saw and chop in on the
lower side of the saw surfOr stump as
far as sawed f; then commence on the
opposite side of the tree and saw in
directly opposite the first saving.
When you have sawed far enough,
commence drivinga wedge, and drive
until the tree falls. Thus you secure
a square end for Your logs n.

Begin to Thlnk About Hot Beds.

r E.
The time is rapidly approaching
for gardners to think about their hot
beds. Look around you and have the
materials necessary at hand. They
ought to be ready in this latitude
about the middle of February. A
good and cheap one may be formed
as follows Make an excavation
from two and halfto three feet deep;
fill to within six inches of the surface
with fresh stable manure; set or build
around a frame made of plank, 1.-THE
framellike q box without top or bot
tom,) the. edges of the frame at the
sides sloping toward the south so
that the back, or north side, shall be
six inches higher than the front, the
front and back being three or four
feet apart; cover with sash. Old
window sash may do, but it is much
better to have sash made for the pur-
pose. The bars to support the glass
ought to run in but one direction, with
the glass so arranged that rain water
will readily run of. quite an essential
point sEE# Ffr
After the manure has been put in
to the depth mentioned above, let ii
be wet with a few bucketsfull of
water then let it be closely compact
ed by beating down with a good maui.
After this add six inches of good, rich
humus from the woods, the darker
the better.
After about two days, mark off in
rows four inches apart, and running
north and south, and SOW lettuce,
raddish, early Yorks, egg plant, to-
matoes and any other vegetables that
you may desire to have early.
1t is better to keep the surface of the
bed little below the surface of the
ground outside of the frame, as in
that case the plants are less liable to
be affected by the changes of atmos-
pheric temperature. Should cold
freezing nights occur, little straw, a
piece of an old carpet, or blanket
may be thrown oyer the glass The
sash should be raised every warm
day to give the plants fresh air. The
bed should be watered daily, and the
plants exposed to all warm gentle
rains, but the sash should be carefully
closed during drenching storms or
chilling howers.-RurGL Sun.

Greece. Some time ago the Greek
government parted, for mere trifie,
To two enterprising foreigners, their
rights over the rubbish heaps at the
Laurium mines, which were first
worked $500 years ago. 1t was soon
found that the debris, which had been
cast made by the ancients rs worth
less, possessed great value, and the
government, repenting of their bar
gain, have assessed the property at
S2O0, 10000 and are demanding more
money for their rights.
