Manure,

Josiah Shull, in an address before
the Central New York Farmers Club,
relates the following experiment in the
application of green and rotten manure ::
have used excrement matter in the
spring of the year, spread and plowed
under and cultivated, and we'll incorpo-
rated with the soil, and planted the land
with potatoes. The potatoes did finely,
were well formed and fine for the table.
At the same time, and on the same piece
of land, plowed under weli-rotted ma
nure, with the same cultivation. and the
potatoes were overgrown, ill-shaped and
soggy, not fit for the market or the ia
BILE. My theory in the case of the diff
ference III the quality of the crop was
that the manure being well composted
the action on the plants was so vigor-
GUS as to cause the tubers to grow very
rapidly, consequently they were soggy
and not fit for the table. Whereas, on
the part planted with the raw material
the decomposition was Just rapid
enough and at the right tTn1s.

One way o stoP Chinsh Bags.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farm
or writing from southern Illinois, thus
describes his way TO keep chinch bugs
from running his corn ::
If the bugs are in your corn, say few
rows, make up your mind to give them
that amount, and between these rows
and the remainder of your corn, and on
all sides, if there is any probability of
their coming in, pillow a ditch, with a
good sized pillow, as deep as you can
with one horse, throwing the burrows,
one on side and the other opposite,
then hitch your horse to a log, gay
eight inches. in diamete and seven feet
long. Mount your log and drag through
your ditch or bitches until the earth is
as dry and fine as -four in the bottom,
and on both sides. Keep it in this con-
dition by draggring your log twice a
day. And the consequence will be that a
few, very few, bugs Will get over, the
fine earth on the sides affording no
foothold. This way is simple, easy and
sure, and if your chinch bugs can climb
the sides of such ditch their powers of
lOcomotion are better than the breed In
Egypt. sttss atf9s9

Origin Of the Horse Family.

a French writer, who has evidently
given the subject careful study, recent

sentatives of the race are still found.
These are known by the name of g tar

the 3Oth parallel, and always returning

states also that these Tartar farpans are
beyond all doubt the typeof our equine
races, and cites as the evidence of It,
the fact that alzados of America brought
ever by the Spaniards are exact repro
auctions Of that type, in form, size and
characteristics. Lake the tarpans, the
alzados are small, have coarse heads
and limbs; have long ears, thrown well
back and are covered with coarse hair.

The Cotton Caterpillar.

This pest has already made its APP
pearance in some portions of Louisiana,
Georgia, Alabama, and we fear in this
state. We shall look aDxiously for re-
ports from the various counties in Mis-
sissippi. We call attention TO this mat
ter not as alarmists, but for the purpose
of cautioning the farmers to be Yigi-
liant, and upon the first appearance of
the moths, or caterpillars, to use every
exertiOn to destroy them. It is much
easier to kill them all off, on their first
and second appearance, than to wait I'M
til the whole field is covered with them.
If Paris green, is used, it is much less
expensive to use it on a few patches
than to have to use it on your whole
crop.
A planter in st. Tammany parish,
louisiana, saved his crop of forty acres
from the worms by simply brushing
them off of the plants. He adopted
the following method He took the
hind wheels of a wagon upon the axle
of which he arranged fingers, like the
fingers of a grain cradle, placing them
in the frame about four inches apart,
the frame was attached to the axle by
hinges, so as to let the fingers simply
drag over the plants, without breaking
them. BY this means he shook the
caterpillars of, and all that fell upon
the ground died. This is a simple
method of destroying the pests and is
worthy of a trial.-FtITmerS VIndica-

While in San Francisco he met and
recognized his old friend. When they
parted, after several days companion

APern Of the Colorado.

Among the many phenomena of the
Colorado river are "swirls," so called.
They occur everywhere. but only at
high stages of water. A bubble rises
FRI m the bottom and breaks, with a
slight sound upon the surface. The
water at the point begins rotary mo-
ton, so small that an inverted teacup
might cover it. Larger and larger
grows the circle, till a surface of forty
feet in diameter is in motion, spinning
round funnel-shaped hole in the CEN
tire, two or three feet across at the top,
and coming to a point in the depths be-
low. Often large tree, floating down
the stream, is caught, and its foremost
end thrust up into the air twenty or
thirty feet, while the other passes IN

A Place for Pigeons.

The banks of Betsey river, near
frankfort, Michigan, are a favorite re-
sort for pigeons, and they are annually
taken there in great numbers. The
nesting is about three miles wide and
fifteen long, and extends along both
banks of the Betsey river. On their
first arrival, which is in May, the hunt
ers build huts of boughs on the shores
of Crystal lake, fine sheet of water
nine miles long, and in other open To-
ealities, and shoot the pigeons as they
fly in masses. There are three flights a
day. First the male. birds begin to iV
just before sunrise, leaving the nest
ing, and flying north and east from ten
to sixty miles to feed. This flight lasts
nearly two hours, at which time the
sky is actually clouded with them. At
seven o'clock not a bird can be seen.
Again, at about half-past eight, the
male birds-begin to return, and the
= hens begin to leave the nests to
procure their late breakfast The
males always take the place of the
females, and de their share of the sit
ting. At nine O'Clock the scene beg

for two hours. The "hens stay out
till four in the afternoon, when they
return, and the &c Toms " again go out
in quest of food and stay as long as they
please. Some do not return until sun
down, at which time they can be
knocked down by dozens, as they fly
only a few feet from the ground. Later
in the season the catching is done in
feed beds and salt springs, which are
prepared some weeks In advance, being
baited with corn and salt, which, being

Cotton Manufacturers Dividends.


The south and west are becoming a
little envious Of the huge profits of the
manufacturing companies in New Eng
land, and one of their wide-awake Jour
nails, to show just how it is, has com
piled a table of the dividends declared
by some of the leading cotton and WOOL
en- mills in 1873. From this it appears
that twenty-six companies out of forty
seven divided from ten to thirty per
cent. each. The Chicepee declared
thirty per cent, the Cocheco twenty,
the Lancaster twenty-five and half.
and the Pacific mills twenty per cent
Results like these are certainly calcu
lated TO excite the manufacturing ambi.
ton of other communities. And at
some future day, when southern capital
will be less intangible thing than it is
at present, investments, in enterprises
OF that kind will doubtless be more
common than they are at presently

Cleaning KID Gloves.

During the warm weather kid gloves
are easily sOiled, particularly as the
prevailing colors are quite light and
as it costs some time aud money to have
them cleaned at the dyer's, we give our
readers the secret of CLEANING them AZ
home, which can be done as well as if
paid for outside. Take a little sweet
milk and piece of white or brown
soap, Fold clean towel three or four
times, spread it over your dress, and
spread out the glove smoothly upon it.
Take a large piece of white flannel,
dip it into the milk, then rub it upon
the soap, and rub the glove downward
toward the fingers, holding the wrist of
it by the left hand. Continue this pro-
cess until the glove, if white, looks OF
dingy yellow, but if colored, looks
dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it
dry, and then put it on your hand, and
it will be soft, smooth, glossy and
| clean. Take care, however, to omit no
part of the glove in rubbing it, and see
that all the soiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned. This process applies onlV to
white and rcolored kid gloves. For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take a
teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few
drops OF ink into it, and rub it all
over the gloves with the tip of a
feather then let them dry in the sun.
White kid boots and slippers can also
be cleaned by the first process to look
"as good as new, and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored TO their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

How. We Support Spanish Savagery
in Cuba.

A dispatch says a gentleman Just re-
turned from Cuba, where he has resided
the past nine months, states he does not
believe the Spaniards can hold out much
longer, for their finances are sadly de-
ranged. If it was not for the fact that
the people of the United States are
made to contribute the largest proper
ton Of the expenses of spanish rule II
Cuba, the war would have been ended
long ago. There are about one hun
bred millions of dollars worth of sugar
exported annually; about so millions of
which comes to the United States. a
few large houses In New York and Phil
sdelphis have monopolized the sugar
trade. These houses advance large
sums of money to planters and their
only security is lein on the slaves who
cultivate the sugar plantations. They
have been making these advances for
years and have come to have a heavy in
terest directly in slaves and are there
fore real slave holders. If emancipa-
ton was decreed they would be heavy
losers. Hence they are doing ali they
can to crush out the Cuban rebellion,
the success of which insures emaneipa-
ton. Whenever the captain general
makes an extraordinary levy upon the
merchants OF Cuba he does not assess
small and great, but confines his levy
to few principal houses. These men
immediately call a meeting of all the
principal houses engaged in exporting
to the United States, and they add the
amount of the Levy to the next invoices
