Interest ON Friendship.

In 1850 young man named Osburn,
who had recently arrived at the mines
from the east, pennies and friendless,
was taken sick. He told his condition
to fellow-adventurer named Hitchcock,
who was little better eff. and the lat
ter promised to see him through. 4" The
promise was kept, aud when, after two
moRths' illness, Osburn arose from his
bed, his friend handed him $40 to
bear his expenses and to procure tools,
saying 10 him, I" If you ever get able
you can pay me back, but do not worry
yourself and injure your health in try
ing to make the money too quick" One
year and half from that time Osburn
sent Hitchcock 81, $50. with the follow
ing note I'll pay interest on friend
ship. II labors proved rcmunerative,
and by 1873 he was worth $3.50, 600
While in San Francisco he met and
recognized his old friend. When they
parted, after several days companions
ship, Osburu gave Hi chcock a sealed
package, with the injunction that it was
not TO be opened until he was on the
cars. There Hitchcock found that il
contained a deed for one-sixth of rich
silver mine, with small note contain
ing the words; - Interest on friend

A WHITEHALL On. " paper tells a
story of little boy of that town who
felt something crawling on his hand,
after that hand. and part of the arm,
had been amputated. The limb was
dug up from the ground in which 1t had
been buried, and large worm was dis
covered in the palm of the hand. The
arm was then put in a jar of alcohol,
and it being necessary to crowd 1t IN,
the youth absolutely shrieked with
pain He afterward complained of q
crafped feeling, and said that the little
finger and one next to 1t were growing
together. On looking at the jar again,
the fingers were found to be IN posi-
tion which would have produced the
sensation described, had the amputated
mart of the arm been still sdhering to
the upper portion. Such sensations are
by no means unprecedented. though 1t
is rare to find them so strongly marked.

One Way to stop Chinch Bugs.

4 correspondent of the Prairie Farm
er writing from southern Illinois, thus
describes his way TO keep chinch bugs
from running his corn:
If the bugs are in your corn, say a 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 thsre is any probability of
their coming in, pillow ditch, with a
good sized pillow, as deep as you can
with one horse, throwing the furrows,
one on side and the other opposite,
then hitch your horse to log, say
eight inches in dismete and seven feet
long. Mount your log and drag through
your ditch or bitches until the earth is
as dry and fine as flour in the bottom.
d1tIon by draggring Your log twlcc n
day. And the Gems equence viii be thst a
few, very few, bugs VIII 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
locouotion are better than the breed IN
Egypt

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 :
I have used excrement matter in the
spring of the year. spread and plowed
under and cultivated, and well incorpo-
rated with the soil, and planted the land
with potatoes. The potatoes did finely,
were wei formed and fiue for the table.
At the same time, and on the same piece
of land, plowed under well-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. Ny theory in the case of the diff
ference in 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 tima.

believe the Spaniards can hold ont much
longer, for their finances are sadly de-
ranged. If IL was not for the fact that
the people of the United States are
made to contributefhe largest proper
tion of the expenses of spanish rule in
Cuba, the war would have been ended
long ago. There are about one hun
dred 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
adelphia 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 heavy in
terest directly in slaves and are there
fore real slave holders. If emanci a

losers. Hence they are doing all they
can TO crush out the Cuban rebellion,

Grass for Calves.

Mr.. David A. Hawn, one of my neigh
bors. turns ont his calves TO clover as
there is an abundance of feed. He
first feeds on sweet milk, then on
warmed sour milk with little meal or
shorts, and on thrnips, but continues
the milk alone for a short time, lessen
ing the quantity gradually. The calves
are then left in the field by themselves,
getting only little salt till the clover
is out. Finer calves than his are hard
to find. One of the important points
in raising calves is. in the earliest stage,
to gradually change from one diet to
another. A change from hay to grass,
if the grass is the first tender growth
aud the calf late one, is often followed
by the scours, the same as when cold
(sour) milk is given where the habit
was to have il warmed. Grass can be
fed to calves in winter as well as sum-
mer. Clover, when cut about the time
of blossoming, or when the heads be-
gin to color aud well cure, differs from
pasture grass only ia the quantity of
water, and affords the finest of early
spring feed, making the change less
great from hay-the usual rather ripe
product-to grass.-Lfue Stock jour
