The Sugar Loss.

The loss in the sugar crop is
almost total and absolute, not
only for the present year, but
will attend that industry for two
more years besides the present.
Cane, says the New Orleans
Times, can not be brought to a
productive capacity under three
years, and it will be fair to count
the loss not only for the present
year, but the consequential loss
Of succeeding years. The loss
on this years crop is yariously
estimated at from 10000 to 40
900 hogsheads, but we are sat
isfed that the former figure, 30
200 hogsheads, is within the
margin OF certainty. That
would be $3,000,G0O. Next
year 10000 hogsheads, $4,000
0OO,andthe following that 1000
hogsheads, or $1,000,000. The
sugar loss then, directly and
consequential, must be set down
at S6,000,000.

SWELLING OF LEGs.-When
the legs of a horse swell upon
standing in the stable it is an
,evidenee of debility, general or
local. 1t would be well TO in
crease the food in quantity or
quality. The following might
also be Of use, viz: Powdered
sulpl1ate of iron, one and one
half ounces; gentian root, two
ounces; cholrate of potassa, one
ounce; mixed and divided in
twelve powders. One of these
given in cut feed as little mois-
tened as possible night and
morning. Ground oats would
be better for food than corn
Friction by rubbing with a

would also be helpful.-Amerii-

English Crop Prospects.

English Crop prospects.
\ note from Mr.. Mech hopes
for a better wheat crop i'll Eng
land this year, than for the past
two seasons. He says:
Two very calamitous years of
bad harvest, which have caused
heavy losses to farmers and to
the country at large, are succeed
ed by one promising, SO far, a
bright and more profitable resalt.
Instead of a costly and diff
fcult winter we have been IA
vored with dry andmiid winter,
rendering farming operations ca
sy and comparatively uncostly.
Wheats have lanted well with
out 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 fro5ts
which, on May 20, and even Ia
ter, in each of the last two years
proved so disastrous. Live
stock has been generally heal
thy, and is rapidly increasing IN
number.
Farmers in England appear to
be making more money on their
sheep than on any other animals.
1t pays we'll to keep them IL
narrow quarters, as pigs are Of
ten raised and fattened for meat;
feed them cut grass, clover, oats
and corn. Large English SHEEP
are healthy in confinement
Good wool for combing and
worsted purposes always sells al
a remunerating price.

Soaking Seed Corn in
Copperas Water.

7 Z
The following account BY a
correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman of an experiment
made by him in relation to the
efficacy of soaking seed corn in
copperas wafer as a remedy a.
gainst wire and cut, and other
worms infesting the germ, will
be Of value, especially when a
field has to be replanted:
I pulverized two pounds of
copperas at night, and / put one
and a half bushels Of corn in
soakin a separate vesscIat night.
After soaking twelve hours l
pour off the water from the corn
In s. tub; I then add as much
water as viii cover the corn and
add it to the copperas water,
and thoroughly NIX and pour
over the corn, and let it remain
in copperas water twelve hours;
I then poured off the copper
as water from the corn and rolled
the corn in j. j. rs EXcclsi-
Or or plaster, and If early for
planting, | open deep burrows,
say four OF five inches, and COW
er light with corn coyerer; but
if late, l cover deeper. | tried
this experiment on a sod field
OF three years standing, plowed
in March and April CT lS73.-
I plowed with a three-horse
pillow, seven inches deep on the
average; the ground was nicely
pulverized. Planted on the
first Of May, 3IIx3a each way.
Two days planting Cen acres
[ dampcned the corn and rolled
it in The plaster. The third day
I had the corn prepared with
coppera5 and ready to plant.
| planted the corn across {
forty-four acre field, by the side
Of a second days planting; all
treated alike the except appli-
cation Of copperas on the two
bushels seed corn. 70 the sur
prise and satisfaction OF myself
and hands, it came up regular
green and vigorous and grew
rapidly. I soon found it nee
essary to rcplant. [ found on
examination, not a hill cut or q
worm to be found whore the
copperas was used; and the en-
tire field, except the two bush
els OF seeds thus treated, was
cut from two to three hills out
of five, aud I often found from
one to fifteen cut-Worms in {
hill. | was so worried [ could
not determine which plan wa:
the best, replant, pillow and plant
over, or check off between rows
/ ! have heard Of such being done
but never tried it. l have OF,
dered $50 pounds, and I an
urging all my friends to give i
a trial. One bushel q corT
will plant five acres, and one ans
a half pounds Of copPeras vii
prepare the bushel OF corn
Copperas can be bought il
quantities to suit farmers at sil
or seven cents per pound. /
would cost IL cents per acre
1t is cheap, simple and certain
with me and others who tried i
last year, l regard this a vaIua
/ bic preventive.

''Matorialix0d."

The latest phenomenon of Spiritualism,
 the naturalization" of spirits, has re- ceiyed severe shock in the discovery that ''Katie King, !" the most eelebrated of the class, is,aftera all l,a acommon-pface hum- bug, wanting altogether not indeed the material but the spiritual element claim ed for her. E>A VI y
 Our readers are no donbt familiar with the pretended change from the invisible,
 intangible form to the spirit of the vlsi- ble. tangible form of the flesh. effected in some miraculous power under the super intendeRce of the Eedys, the Holmese, sand other favored mediums. People have focked to the farm house of the former in Vermont and to the sceances of the lat ter in Philadelphia, and gravefy declared that unquestionable materializations of disembodied spirits had taken place before their eyes. In an article in the last Alt lantic, Mr. Robert Dale Owen, one of the most prominent of the Spiritualists, gentleman of undoubted integrity and one who has spent many years in the investi- gation of the subject. devotes many pages to the evidence on which he founds his belief that ''Katie King" was a material ized spirit. This young lady is suppos- ed to have existed regularly in the flesh some two hundred years since. The pret- ty attentions she paid Mr. Owen were such as strike the disinterested observer at once as very like the wiles of the ordi- nary ''girl of the period" Still that gen. tleman was so very thoroughly convinced himself, the facts he narrated were so inexplicable on any natural theory, and the like performances of the Eddy broth CTS have also attracted so much attention, that more general interest has been of late aroused in Spiritualism than at any time since it's start. -.- -
 Now comes an article in the Philadelphia Enquirer stating that 8 gentleman has traced "Katis King" to her boarding house, found the articles given her at the sceances in her possession, and obtained her confession to the imposture. She was introduced, it is said, by an ingen- iously hidden trap door, and the usual tricks of the juggler's art and the imagina- tion of excited spectators did the rest. Mir. Owen and Dr. Child have withdrawn their endorsement of the Holmses and the business of matefializing spirits will hard ly survive such disclosure. ... as
