Cleanse the hangers.


The managers of horses, COWS and OK
en-, when supplied with cut fodder and
meal, frequently become extensively
sour, in consequence of the decompo-
sition Of the wet meal that adheres to
the corners of the feed-boxes. This is
apt to be the case especially when ami
mails do not lick the corners entirely
clean. If a small portion of feed is al
lowed to remain In the Manager only q
portion of warm day il viii become
sour, and the offensive efiugia viii tsint
the entire manger, so that an animal
viii often refnse to eat his accustomed
allowance, unless compelled by keen
hunger. The true way TO manage man
gers Is to scrape the corners clean at
least twice per day, removing every par
ticle of rejected food. Then, Il the
maEger does not smell as s9eet as a but
ter bowl, let the corners be washed out
with hot water, wiped clean, and a
handful of caustic slack lime be sprink-
led IN the Manager. If managers are
kept clean they viii seldom become Of
fensively sour. If an animal leaves q
portion of his feed, a new mess should
never be given on the rejected feed

The Tobacco Prosnect.

Never was the tobacco crop so COM
plete failure as this year. Tobacco is
now higher in our market than at the
seaboard, and still advancing. Buyers
are taking all that ii offered and rolling
il away. The warehouses are crowded
aud the streets In front of the ware
houses are blocked. The banks are hay
ing all they can carry Just now. One
buyer remarked to us that if he had all
his purchases of this season together
Just now, they would net $50, 900 on
this market, but unfortunately for him,
the bulk of it has been disposed of.
Great profits will necessarily accrue in
the New York trade, on that which has
already been sold, and our farmers will
see from this item the importance of
conce- tration and cooperation when
produce is low.
The New York trade is deceived by
reports of good rains in this section.
The showers have been very light
here, barely enough rain at any time to
lay the dust, and the present estimate
Of the next crop is, that there will not
be LOCO hogsheads of tobacco sold on
this market next year. We had a light
rain on the 10Th, but not enough to JUS
tify planting. The ground was not wet
over an inch deep. There was a good
rain in the greensboro section on the
18TH, which enabled the farmers along
the Ohio river to do some planting.
Davis county, from accounts, has but
about one-tEird crop.
News from the Paducah section and
the western country is to the effect that
about one third Of a crop has been set
amid light showers, but the scorchinR
sun has killed the most of It.
The crop in the upper Cumberland
county is almost q total failure. The
highest estimate does not exceed 1000
hOgsheads.

gan, Todd, Christian, Trigg, Hopkins,

Should the drouth continue a veel

A correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe reports & conversation with an
old steamboat man IS follows
fon may think. said old Alec Run
gan to me, few days ago, IS We stood
on the 4eFee contemplating the boats,
g you may think thaE's only one differ
ence batRixt q steamboat now and a
steamboat twenty-five years ago yo1
maybe think its q diff rence IA hiIers.
But shizr's more diff renee than bilera.
The boats is dinsrent the people IS
dif'reiat the way shey does things Is
diff rent. and when I stand on this levee
and look ct them boats, grieve, sir, 1
grieYe for them times when things was
known by their right names. Then one
biier was enough for boat; now q
dozen isn't sufficient. Then rousters
was rousters now they are gentlemen,
and wear stand-up collars and sleep IN
the cabin. Then the engineer was only
an owner now he's a gentleman, and
the pilots and captains was the other
owners. Why, I've seen this river and
have known It, man and boy, onto thir-
ty-eight year, and as see It sc down It
makes me grieye, it makes me grieye.
Whqr's yer explosions now That set
ties it yer don't have none like yer
used to have, and yer going down stream
right along. Bah This yer river never
had but one boat on il. Old Bull Whit
man and me and Jim Dunn, we owned
the steamboat. These yer fellows
wouldn't call her nothin', cause she had
only one biler, and one owner WIS cap'n
and pilot and another engineer, and
the other roustaboat. But the boat
never was passed but once't. and theE
they only passed her wreck. She wa
blowed mp higher'n q full moon WheE
she WAS three lengths ahead, and every
soul on her was killed. !"
" All the owners on board, Aleck p

after she busted, and We concluded &

trade till We split up. Yer see the way
these boats bust, they gets 8 pumpin
sand and it cuts the pump valves, 81
they don't draw water, and then thl
biler goes. Well one day We was run
min from Vicksburg to Natchez, ans
the engineer tells the pilot his valve gil
out and he must stop and 60 ashore
The piIet allows he can FIX up the valve
while he is runnin', and the enginee
tells him if he tries il he'll get his heal
split. So the pilot runs her agroun,
and comes down for fight, and so tn
engineer splits him open with q monke
wrench. We gees ashore and burie
him, and the engineer and me plays
game of seven mp for the pilots intel

Keeplng Poaltry il &c.,.

Some farmers make it & practice to
keep their poultry in their orchards
from early spring until cold weather
sets in and they End that it pays them
for 50 doing. A picket fence should be
built around the orchard, high enough
to prevent their flying over, with suit
able house or shed in one corner Of the
yard to shelter them at night. Thus
situated, the poultry viii thrive and
prosper, keeping themselves in good
condition, and the increase in eggs will
be greatly augmented, and their useful
ness and value enhanced to their owners
at least, on account of the thousand
myriads of insects and worms Faich
they naturally destroy, and which viii
more than repay the cost and labor Of
building the fence. BY keeping them
enclosed IN this manner, q LARGE rum-
Der of fowls may be retained IN an
orchard and the continual scratching
which is done by them viii prove ad-
vantageous both TO the soil and trees
themselves.

forth We want to organize the people
into corporations to raise grain, cotton,
cattle, and everything that is necessary

this way We will save our means for the

We do not want this people to import
any more goods from the states, but we
wish to manufacture everything at home

Gay TI mes Among De sIoux.

A correspondent of the Omaha Her
aid, writing, June 10, from Camp Rob
insOn, Red Clouds agency, has the
following
We have Just surveyed q lightning
dance" 'sbeAeftF to Red Clouds
daughter, who, during a thunder
shower, became so frightened that It
was necessary to make " medicine for
her, aud render her =" lightning proof,
the modus operandi of which is to
slaughter a Dog, sever the head from
the body, place them in kettle of boil
ing water under which q steady fire is
kept. First, the bucks, almost naked,
with their bodies painted IN zigzag form
to represent lightning, dance around
the boiling kettle, whoopibg and sing
ing. Each in turn, with barred hands,
gather pieces OF the dog, and continue
TO dance, holding fast to the singed
fragments. At a signal, the bucks retire
and their places are filed by squAws,
dressed very much like the bucks
| principally in war paint. As they
j danced around the boiling cauIdron,
each in turn gather pieces from the
boiling kettle, and continue their evolu-
1 lions, like the witches in Macbeth.

which the g medicine is made, Is con-
