A MMK-PRoDUcING PLANT.-M. Gill
let-Damitte has addressed a paper to
the French Academy of Sciences, to
announce the nutritive and Indigenous
properties of the plant called Galega
oliicinals. AS fodder, its value is thirty
three per cent. higher than the best
meadow hay. Cattle easily take to it,
and chemical analysis shows that it is a
milk producer. From experiments
made on cows exclusively fed on galega,
it appears that in twenty-four hours
they yielded thirty-three per cent. more
milk than others fed on other kinds of
fodder; some gave as much as fifty
per cent.

Cleansing Casks.

The inquiry is often made of us by
farmers, brewers, beef and pork pack
ers, etc, regarding the best method of
deodorizing and cleansing old cider and
beer barrels, musty cans, bottles, etc.
Chemistry furnishes an agent in the
permanganate potassa which fully meets
this want. A pint of the permanganate
turned into the most musty, filthy cider
or beer cask, and rinsed about few
moments, will entirely decompose all
fungoid growths and fermenting matter,
and render the cask as sweet as those
that are new. The deodorizing, disin-
fecting power of the permanganate,
holding rs it does five equivalents of oxy
gen, is wonderful it will even deodor-
ize carbolic acid. The only way to re-
move Immediately the odor of carbolic
acid from the hands, is to immerse them
in the liquid permanganate.- Boston

You have heard of old bachelors
whims. There are lots of them on rec
ord, but Henry Shaw, of st. Louis, has
given practical execution to the most re-
markable bachelors crotchet of the age
He is a Scotchman, a millionaire, and
some Is years old. He has constructed
the finest flower garden in the world. 1t
has $50 acres in it, and is gorgeous
marvel of a garden. 1t has all the
flowers in it obtainable in the world,
that will live in st. Louis climate. 1t
is bewildering paradise of floral
beauty. The flowers number by the
millions. Its cost no one can tell.
Shaw himself don't know. 1t is thread
ed by walks, and adorned with conserva-
tories and lighthouses full of the rarest
exotics. A force of 100 gardeners is
needed to keep the place in order.
Shaw, it is said, spends his entire in
come from his millions in keeping it up.
He began the thing after the war, and
for several years he has opened it to the
public. Hundreds of thousands of visit
ors resort to it. 1t is the chief attrac-
ton and curiosity for the stranger in
st. Louis to visit. And, strange to say,
no police guard it, and no flowers are
pilfered This is the public reverence
to the mans generous enterprise.
We visited the elegant house at the
head of the garden, where an elegant
picture represents him standing among
his flowers. Two elegant portraits OF
beautiful ladies in the garb of a past
day, represent some of his female pro-
genitors. A huge book is kept there
for visitors to record their names in. A
curious feature of the garden is beds de-
voted to one flower. For instance,
there is large bed with every variety
of cactus another with hundreds of
verbenas, and so on. Everything is in
prodigal profasion. 1t is curious
notion this, that prompts rich man to
devote a great income to one pet ca
price, and that principally for the bene-
fit of others. But in this very caprice,
so unusual and so expensive, is wrapped
up his own personal aspiration. He
thus makes his celebrity. And why
should man not strive to become
known through his mammoth gardens,
as well as through his craftsmanship or
achievements of arms or genius
Shaw is near his grave. He has, in
pursuance of his ambition, willed his
gardens to the city, on condition that
the city binds itself to keep them up.
The city has eagerly accepted the be-
quest, and thus, through private iber-
ality, gets, without cost, public gar
den not surpassed in the world for mag
niticence and beauty. The garden will
forever be dubbed "Shaw's Garden, "
and he thus travels on to Immortality ON
the successful realization of his stupen-
dous and most beautiful crotchet.-At-
ianta Constitution.

The general character of THE CINCINNATI GA
zETTE is So well known that it needs no eXplaua-
ton. While it is Republican paper, it asks no
favrrs of those in power and it is independent in
that it feailessly exposes abuses, whether inside
or outside of the party with which it acts.
Its value as an agricultural paper is recognized
by practical farmers, thousands of whom exchange
their views through its columns. As a CONNER
cial paper, it is standard authority.
The farmers movement is an honest one, and it
has our sympathy and will have our support We
do not recognize it as political party. 1t does
not claim to be SUCH but it has princip pies which
we desire to see engrafted into Republican plat
forms, and it includes measures which shall
