by the name of Ustiiago Maids, and it
has frequently been described and
figured in botanical works. It's develop
ment for growth is also pretty well un-
stood. The fungus grows from very
minute spores, which are produced by
millions, but exactly as TO how these
spores react and infest the growing
corn, can find nowhere any definite
information, nor have | seen any data
relativet TO preventives We are here left
to surmises and analogies.
Smut in wheat is produced by SINH
lar fungus, similar in its botanical
characters, in its results, and this wheat
smut fungus is much better known. 1t
is proved that this gains access to the
plant through the seed. The spores are
sticky and adhere TO the sound grain at
harvest or thrNshing, and are sown with
the seed wheat. As the new wheat
plant grows, the fungus develops IN due
time with it, ripenlng its spores at
harvest. The spores may be killed and
the crop saved by soaking the seed
wheat in strong brine, or in a weak So
luton of sulphate Of copper, commonly
known as the blue vitriOl or blue stone.
CThe proportions used are two to five
ounces of the crystals per bushel OF
wheat). 1t would be well to try the
same remedies with corn. | have seen
this recommended, but have no infor-
nation whatever as to the results.
Corn-smut is rarely abundant enough
TO seriously affect the crop, and is prln-
cipally dreaded because it is poisonous
to the cattle.-PrOt BreeOer.

4 Good Bed.

A most soft, comfortable, and whole
some filing for beds or for mattresses
can be procured III most country places
by getting a farmer TO allow oat chat
to be saved 1t is soft, light and elias
tic, and very sweet. The cost is very
little, only the cost paid to the farmer
for the men saving and sitting it. AS
oat chaff is rarely used for cattle-food,
it is easily attainable. 1t is so very
light that a slighter kind of bed-tick
than is necessary for other kinds of fill
ing is quite sufficient for oat chaff
Another advantage is that it can be
changed every year with so little cost
that it is within the reach of every one.
For children's beds it is perfectly sat
isfactory. 1t is only necessary to keep
a sack or two stuffed full of oat chaff in
a dry place, and then new and fresh fill
ing is Mt hand TO make a sweet bed,
whatever accident may have befallen
the cot mattress.

Where He Lived.

A London newsboy, having strayed
into Surry, was brought before Justice
of the Peace on petty charge.
"Where do you live ?" asked the JUS
tice.
"With mother" said the boy.
"Where does she live ?"
With father.
Where does he live ?"
" At home"
Where is their home?" reared the
Justice.
"That's where I'm from, old man, !"
replied the boy, winking at the magis-
trate.
The young rascal was told to" go
back there" and he went.

Microscopic Writing.

Mr.. William Webb, of London, has
produced q curiosity in microscopic
writing. He has accomplished the feat
by means of machinery on glass, with
the aid of a diamond. The writing con-
sists of the Lords prayer, which is writ
ten on glass in a space equal to one two
hundred and ninety fourth part of an
inch in length by one four hundred and
fortieth part of an inch in width, space
corresponding TO the dot over the
printed letters. The dot of writing has
been enlarged by means of photograph
so as to occupy a space of about two
inches long by one and half inch
broad.
The photograph brings words out
legibly, the number Of letters being 227.
Such is the fneness of the original
writing that 10, 431, 45S letters written
the same way would only cover one
square inch of glass surface. The whole
Bible, including the Old and New Tesla
ments, contains 3, 500, 480 letters there
fore Mr.. Webb could write the entire
contents of more than eight Bibles
within the space of one square inch.
The specimen plates of this microscopic
writing have been produced for the
United States Museum, at Washington,
a cost of $50 each.
The Webb machine, however, does
not equal, in the fneness of writing or
the perfection it has attained, similar
machine, the invention of Mr.. Peters,
wealthy banker of London. This ma
chine produced writing, as long since
as 1856, nearly three times as fine as
that of Mr.. Webb. 1t was competent
to engrave the entire contents of the
Bible, twenty-five times over, within
the space of a single square inch.
BIsMARCK's crude plainness :" ellis
residence, far from Icing one of the
many spacious palaces which adorn Ber-
lin, is, says a German writer who re-
Gently visited him, one of the plainest
in Wilhelm-Strasse and the man who
answers the door wears no livery, or any
sign of his masters rank. The inte-
rior is equally suggestive in its sturdy
contempt of luxury. In the princes
study are an iron couch and an iron
safe the furniture is meager, massive
and without ornament. Such person
age would be artistically incomplete if
his writing materials were of the puny
kind that suits ordinary mortals, and
Prince Bismarck s lead pencils are, like
himself, gigantic. "

Washington.

Tuesday, June 80, was the end of the fiscal
year in Washington, and the time set for the
curtailment of the clerical force in some of
the departments. The heaviest discharge
was in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
the services Of 375 female employees being dis
pensed with leaving 1000 persons still en-
ployed in that bureau. The scene Of dismissal
was marked by sadness. Fourteen Of those
discharged tainted when the announcement
was made to them, and physicians were called
to their assistance.

year ending June 30, we're s102 365,577.

rules for the treatment of balky horses.

side and then on the other, speaking en-
couragingly while doing so; then iump
into the wagon and give the word 90 .
generally he will obey.

start the worst balky horse by taking him
out of the shafts and making him 60 round
in circle till he is giddy. If The first
dance OF this sort doesn't cure him the
second will
), 10 cure balky horses, simply place
Your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind until he wants to 90.
a. The brain Of horse seems to enter
tam but one idea at q time, therefore con-
tnued whipping only confirms his stub
born resolve. If you can by any means,
give him 4 new subject to think OF. Won
will generally have no trouble in starring
him. A simple remedy is to take couple
OF turns OF stout twine around the torelpg,
Just below the knee, tight enough for the
horse to feel, and tie in a bow knot All

can get out and remove the string, to

Pens FOR Swine.

The New York Herald says \ few
days since the writer called at neighbor's
residence, who had beautiful Chester
White sow with three pigs about six
weeks old. She brought forth nine, but
overlaid six of them The live pigs were
worth five dollars each. Hence there was
a loss of thirty dollars simply because his
foreman did not understand how to prepare
4 suitable bed for a breeding SOW A large
quantity of straw had been allowed to ac-
cumulate in her sleeping apartment, 50
that she had formed a deep hollow about
the size of her body. AS the young pigs
could not get out OF such a place, when
the dam was about to lie down, they were
Smothered. Onr own practice with brood
sows has always been TO remove all the
straw from a sow's bed at least month
prior to the birth of her brood. and spread
a few punches of cut straw on the floor
for her 10 lie on. Young pigs will never
become entangied in such q bed, neither
will they get cornered so that the dam
will overlay them. When pigs are worth
five dollars each it will pay the proprietor
To prepare 4 suitable bed for the SOW.
Long straw should never be spread in q
brood sow's sleeping apartment, except
when no pigs are expected

Whefe happy birds their wood-notes twit-

From barren heights, their sweetness we re-

And backward gaze. with wistlnl ycarning

The summers sunny skies.
Glad hours that seemed their rainbow tinls 10

From some illumined page Of fairy lore;
Bright days. that never lacked bright to-

Days that return no moro.
Fair gardens with their many blossomed alleys
And red ripe roses breathing ou perfume:
Dim violet hooks in green sequestered valleys.
Empurpled DER with bloom.
Sunsets. that lighted up the brown-lcaved

Turning their dusky glooms TO glimmering

Moonlight, that on the rivers icrn-fringed

THE DANGERS OF SULrHCH BATHS A
few days ago fashionable lady stopping
at Sandwich, near Detroit, took bath
in some of the spring water OF that place
The water is powerfully impregnated with
sulphur. On emerging from the bath she
stepped TO a mirror, as ladies occasionally
do, when, to her horror, she saw that her
iace, neck and arms had turned black.
She believed that she was dying-that
morliication had set in. Her fears were
allayed when she learned that the startling
color of her flesh was chemical result,
the sulphur in the water acting upon the
lead contained in some article for the toilet
she had been using to artifcially improve
the fairness of her complexion.
