Destructive FIRE.-0n Tuesday evening last
the handsome country residence of Mr.. Geo.
R. Granger, which was situated on Ingleside
avenue, short distance from Mount de Sales
Academy, on the old Frederick road, and dis
tant about five miles from Baltimore, was de-
stroyed by fire. The dwelling was large
frame structure, two and a-half stories in height
and completed in the best manner. The fanli-
reside in Baltimore,

"..~o e.nve, ana mad lett all their furniture,
mirrors, tableware, carpets, &C., behind, all OF
which were destroyed. Workmen had for some
time past been engaged in building an addition
to the mansion.
The handsome building alone is estimated at
$4,000, and is covered by policy in the Mary
land Insurance Company.
The cause of the fire was evidently defec-
tive hue; the ruins show that fire was commu
nicated to a rafter from the dining-room CHM
ney, which, until Tuesday, when roaring
wood fire was built, had never been used. The
loss on furniture and Improvements is estima-
ted at So, 1000.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Winter Wheat Prospect.

The monthly Circular OF the Agricultural
Bureau at Washington gives the following
summary Of the winter wheat prospect up to
the middle Of April;
In the first week of April, considerable
portion of the northern belt of the winter
wheat area was covered with snow. The
condition of that yiSibly gave promise of an
exemption from winter injury leaving the
subject to the meteorological vicissitudcs of
April. In the Middle states great improve
mcnt upon the showing Of last spring is
everywhere conceded, especially in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania The prospect in
the states south of Maryland is less favorable
than last year, and there are indications Of II
diminishing area in the cotton states, al
though not intended to be given in this re-
port Michigan, the only state of the north
ern border IN which winter wheat is mainly
grown, presents green and vigorous growth
wherever snow has disappeared to reveal it,
ana ONO makes far more favorable re
turns than last year In Kentucky more
chcckcrcd showing is made giving the pres
cnt appearance decidedly untavorablc cast,
WIN indications Of future improvement as
me weather becomes settled In Indiana and
limos the uniayOrablc returns out num-
bcrcd the rosc-colorcd. The dry autumn re
tardcu seeding and terminating, and LETT
plants too weak and shallow rooted to endure
well the effects of winters changes of tenn
perature. Similar callses affect the condi-
ton of the wheat in Missouri, but great i'm
provcmcnt over last year is reported, and a
still more favorable condition exists in Kan
sas, In Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
Nebraska, as is known very little winter
wheat is produced but full reports are given
of such experiments The indications from
California all point to another year of great
abundance, scarcely county reporting an
untavorable condition. AS a whole the fruit
prospect at the close of the winter is more
favorable than at the same date in 1872.

GuanO-Present and Prospective.

Either there is probable scarcity of guano
i'll the near future, or else interested parties
are trying to make Corner in the market
Hitherto the supply for the world has been
mainly drawn from sundry tropical islands,
situated for the most part off the Peruvian
coast. Other guano deposits exist, but owing
to the frequent or periodical occurrence of
rain the soluble parts of the guano are washed
out and it is only in the almost rainless eli
mate of Peru that the deposits retain their
greatest value When the first cargoes des-
tined for q European market were taken
from the Chincha islands in 1871, the supply
seemed almost ineXhaustible, but during the
90 years which followed, more than 5000, 900
tons were taken from these islands alone, and
now there is talk to the effect that not more
than 10000 tons are left. The Guanapc,
Macabi and LObos islands have still a million
or more tons but in view of the enormous
consumption, this does not amount to much
in the eyes of importers. The Peruvian gov
eminent has derived so large revenue from
its guanO deposits that it naturally looks for
ward to their exhaustion with diSmay, and is
making explorations along the cost in the
hope of discovering fresh fields. 1t would
seem that we must make up our minds that
guano is destined to disappear within the
next ten years from the list of available fer
tilizcrs, hut science has already done much to
furnish substitutes, and we may be sure that
something exists somewhere To make good

ROASTED CoFFEE-Roastcd coffee is one of
the most powerful means, not only of render
Ing animal and vegetable cilluyia innocu0us
but of actually destroying them. \ room in
which meat in an advanced degree of decom-
position had been kept for some time, was in
Stanty deprived of all smell by in open cot
fee rooster being carried through it contain
tanning pound Of coffee newly roasted. Ia
another room the cfuvia accustomed by the
cleaning out of ccsspool, so that sulphureted
hydrogen and ammonia could be clearly de-
tectcd, was completely removed within half
minute on the employment of three ounces Of
fresh coffee. The best mode of using il as a
dsnicctant is to dry the raw bean, pound 1t
in mortar and then roast the powder on a
moderately heated iron plate, until itassumes
II dark brown hue, when it is ready tor use
1t must, however, be remembered that the
coffee, to be eilcctual, should be perfectly
pure. Adultcratcd rubbish will only make
matters worse.

Wherever we go we see the cucumber IN
the open air suffered to run on the ground
This is no doubt a relic of European culture.
There it is necessary. The climate is not hot
enough, and the plants have to be started, ii
not grown altogether, IN low, flat glass frames.
But where the cucumber grows wild, it spreads
over bushes and trees, and the growth and
product are enormous. All plants with ten
drills prefer to ramblc in this way. The grape
vine, it is well known, seems fairly to rejoice
when it can find large mass oftwiggy brush
to ramble over as it wills, and so does the GU
cumbcr. No one who has not tried can have
any idea of the luxurious growth OF a cucum-
Der when trained to stake which has set
of stubby side branches left along its length.
A great advance in the style OF culture is that
the plants occupy far less ground than when
permitted to spread over the surface in the
usual way. This is a great gain to small gar,
dcns-and to large ones, for that matter, for
if we have land enough and some to spare,
few oflls have time to waste in preparing
more of it than is necessary to the perfection
