on the beach. The boat then returned to
the ship. and the ship went out of the har-
Dor and was soon lost TO sight. One OF
the inhabitants, Frenchman. who had
seen all this. went out on the beach 10 see
who was Landed. He found poor boy in
a dreadfully emaciated condition. living in
a dead faint on the ground. The French
man carried the boy to his hut. and cared
for him the best he could. But there was
no physician or medicine on the island.

would take him to Yokohama and put
him in the hospital there. Instead OF do

The principal points BY which To dis
cern the quality of the flesh I'm fowl are.
says the Cottage Gardener, the color of the
feet and the kind of skin. The yellow
foot generally indicates fowl with tough
flesh, heavy bones, and yellow fat. Ills
very rare that this color does not show
itself I'm the skin. However, IL does not
exclude certain qualities OF the flesh la the
pure descendants OF the two exotic races.
Cochin 4 hina and Brahma Pootra. With
the exception of yellow and green, which
can never be recommended, all other col
ors from black to white are equally indica-
tions Of an excellent flesh. When the
skin. and above all that Of the sides and
breast. Is of fine tissue, delicate, and
easily EXTENDED, also havinga resy pcarled
color. one may be certain that the flesh Is
good and will fatten rapidly.

CODLING MOTH AND SHEEP.

We have repeatedly urged for years
past the Importance of turning focks
of sheep and swine into orchards at the
time the young and wormy fruit is
dropping. These animals will get at
least part Of them. One of the most
successful experimenters in this way is
Joseph Harris, of Rochester. He gives
In a late AgricuIturist some striking
proofs of the advantages of the prac-
tice. He holds the codling moth in
check in one orchard by pasturing it
with sheep. Another orchard, forty
years old, has always been used as a
, hog pasture, and the apples are entirely
free from the codling moth. Outside
the orchard in which the sheep run is
a row Of seven trees, which produced
last year from two to five barrels of
apples per tree, and being unprotected
by animals from the codling moth, all
the good apples from these seven trees
were put into one barrel. In his gar
den, where the animals cannot run,
from fifty sorts of dwarf apples there is
scarcely a fair specimen.
Persons living in and near this city
will find both comfort and profit in
cultivating dwarf apple trees in yards
where pigs and poultry may be con-
fined to consume all insect pests. We
have been successful in Tennessee in
raising plums, peaches and cherries by
this simple arrangement, while at the
game time it is our duty to notice
frequently the injury done by the
practice of shooting so Emany birds
that subsist on the destroyers of our
crops. Mr.. Harris sheep that eat
wormy apples which fall upon. the
ground, as they do turnips and carrots
fed to them, are very useful in fruit
culture. Sheep are among our best
friends, bat we treat them as though
they were our worst enemies.

ENGLISH CROP PROSPECTS

A note from Mr.. Mechi hopes for
better wheat crop in England this
year, than for the past two seasons.
He says:
Two very calamitous years of bad
harvests, which have caused heavy
losses to farmers and to the country at
large, are succeeded by one promising,
so far, bright and more profitable re-
suit. Instead Of two costly and diff
cult winters we have been favored with
a dry and mild winter, rendering farm
ing operations easy and comparatively
uncostly. Wheats have planted well
without being too luxuriant, and the
spring sowing, so far, has been all that
could be desired. Of course, much
Will still depend upon the future. Let
us hope, and reasonably expect, that we
may escape the fatal frosts which, on
May 20, and even later, IN each of the
last two years proved so disastrous.
Live stock has been generally healthy,
and Is rapidly increasing IN numbers.
Farmers in England appear to be
making more money on their sheep than
on any other animals. 1t pays well to
keep them in narrow quarters, as pigs
are often raised and fattened for meate;
feed them cut grass. clover, oats and
corn. Large English sheep are healthy
in confinement. Good wool for comb
ing and worsted purposes always sells
at a remunerating price.

RICHARDSON'S "HEALTH' AND
THE TREASURY TROUBLES.
Washington Special lAIay A. to the st. Louis

Washington Special May A. to the ST. Louis
Globe.
The usually careful correspondent
here of the NelC YorL; Journal of Com
nlerce, has telegraphed the following to
that paper: 1T is said that Secretary
Richardson's journey South was I'M
dertaken for very distressing reasons
connected with the state of his health,
which, it is said, is such as to affect,
unfortunately, his mental condition.
He will probably resign soon. Mr..
Richardson left here in state of ner-
vous and physical prostration. He Is
now in Charleston, and recent dis
patches state that his health has much
improved. There is reason to fear that
the Secretary's mental aswell as phys
ical vigor has been temporarily affect
ed by Overwork and the great anxieties
crowded upon him during the past five
months. 1t has been known for con-
siderable time past to persons familiar
with Treasury matters that such was
the fact. His portfolio is practically
vacant.
Ex-Attorney General Hoar is spoken
of for the coming vacancy. If appoint
ed, it will create bitter feelings, and be
regarded not only as hostility to Butler
but also of more direct antagonist to the
view of the present Congressional ma
jority. 1t is asserted by well-informed
persons that the President looks favor
ably on the propositions, while others
suggest that the difficulty of filling the
New England appointment will be
overcome by appointing Mr. Delano to
the Treasury and some friend of MIR.
Blaine to the Interior.
Washington Special May A. to the Cincinnati
Gazette.
By general consent it is agreed that
the report of the Committee of Ways
and Means will necessitate a change in
the Treasury, and change will include
more than the head of the department.
1t is stated tonight, by a gentleman
who should know, that Secretary Rich
ardson's portfolio has been offered to
Elihu B. Washburne, our Minister to
France, and that reply from him is
now awaited. The Committee on APP
preparation have considered, and will
report in favor Of such sum as may
be needed to complete the Boston Post
Office. This indicates the action that
will be had In regard to the public
buildings in the principal cities.

rxCLusryE CorroN pLANrrsc.

Col John. Dent, of Floyd county,
Ca, cotton planter of large expert
ence in lower Georgia in ante bellam
times, has recently visited that section,
and has this to say of it in the Country
Gentleman:
/ recently made trip to the lower
countries; there it was all water; large
fields planted In corn and cotton were
under water; the railroads washed up
in many places; the whole country pre-
scented sad scene. went to that part
of the country / moved from Just after
the war, and there / met with many
negroes / owned when slaves. They
seemed rejoiced to see me, and / was
also glad to see them. l saw from APP
pearances they were not doing well,
and had a long talk with them, giving
them all the advice l could-how to
live and conduct themselves to make
living. They told me, what 1 saw my
self, that they had merely made out to
live since their freedom, and had ac-
cumulated nothing.
] never could have imagined a coun-
try so run down and ruined as that is
in the course of nine years. Exclusive
cotton planting and buying largely of
commercial fertilizers has done the
work; and am sorry to say that the
farmers in the up countries, where
grain and the grasses are the best crops
for our soil and climate, are trying TO
make it a cotton-producing country
through the stimulating properties of
commercial fertilizers. A greater curse
was never inflicted upon any country
and people than these fertilizers are.
Grass by the hundred acres, fine
stock, and diversified agriculture, are
indispensable to general success. A
few exceptional cases, like that of
David Dickson, of Hancock county,
Ga, may be found; but woe to the
community that takes the exception to
rule in farming, and makes it the
rule. Too much of our labor and en-
terprise rests on this folly.

THE wAsHINGToS MONUMENT.

Early In the session of Congress, a
Select Committee was raised by the
House to report upon the condition of
the Washington monument, and Dele
gate Chapman, of the District, was put
at the head of it. This was before the
frost of economy came to nip the prom
ising buds of enthusiasm over the ap-
preaching Centennial, and it was hoped
that, moved by that enthusiasm, Con-
gresS would appropriate liberal sum
to complete the monument. The
Committee appear to have gone
on as if they fully expected
an appropriation would result from
their labors. According to the report
which they presented, 100000
has been collected and all expended up
on the monument except So, 900, which
is still in hand. How one-haf this
sum could honestly have been spent in
erecting an ugly, square tower ia feet
high it would be difficult to show. The
Committee propose that the shaft shall
be carried up to hight of only 49,
feet instead of $50 feet, as was first in
tended, and estimate the cost of com
pleting the structure at 1926 900.
Delegate Chapman, of the District, has
introduced bill appropriating that
amount. The monument is now the
property of society which is, of course
willing to turn it over to the Govern
ment to secure its completion. A sur
vey has been made by an engineer
officer, which shows that the foundation
is strong enough to bear the weight of
the finished shaft"
