itentiary ut Trenton. lie entered that insti-
ton on the 1lth Of November, and was
placed at labor in the shoe shop.
He was industrious and tractable until
the middle Of May, when he dcmapded
his discharge, importuniug all the officials to
whom he could obtain access. On the 10th
he swore he would cat no food for forty
DAYS, and he has kept his oath. He became
violent and abusive, and a day or two after
the beginning Of his extraordinary fast, be
armed himself with sharp knife, turned on
the water in his cell, and Threatened to kill
any one who entered to turn it off. He was
finally overpowered, without injury to any
one, and removed TO cell in the north wing.
He asserted his innocence repeatedly, and
throwing himself upon his cot lie has lain
there the most of the time since. Every III
duccment imaginable has been made to lead
him to break this resolve.
The most tempting food has been placed
in his cell repeatedly, only to be dashed
across the room and the dishes shiYered to
atoms the moment he laid hands upon them.
AS he has not been out of his cell since en-
tering it, and no one has succeeded in get
ting him to place mouthfu 10 his lips, it is
absolutely certain that he has tasted for full
forty days and nights. He has drank water
and munched ice continually with the FAM
ished eagerness Of q starving wolf, but
nothing has been able to break down his in
domitable will. His extraordinary fast ended
yesterday, when, under the direction of the
physician, w. w. L. Phillips, he resumed by
taking rag egg and glass of Jamaica rum.

The wheat Belt.

The Hon. E. D. Mansfield
says, in one of his recent sta
tistical papers,:
There is no doubt in my
mind that the most valuable
wheat district of the future
lies out of the United States,
in the valley of the Saskatch-
avian. Jay Cooke has been
criticised in all possible ways
for advancing his credit, en-
dangering his solvency in the
Northern Pacific Railroad;
and yet there is in my mind
no doubt of two facts-it will
embrace in its course the
best wheat lands of America,
and contain one, if not two,
of the largest cities in Amer
lea. Mr.. Cooks mistake was
that he discovered these facts
in advance of their day. /

Butter Science.

In a recent discussion,
David Moore, who has been
a butter buyer for twenty-five
years, in New York, said;
There are many essential
rules to be observed in ma
king fine butter. We must
have good cows, good pasture,
good clean water, clean sta
bles, clean mixers, clean dai-
ry room and utensils, milk
kept at a proper temperature,
skinned and churned in time,
butter thoroughly washed so
as to remove all impurities,
then salted with pure Ashton
salt, and no other. Avoid
slops about the milk room,
either out doors or in. Cream
is very susceptible to foreign
flavor. Cows teats should be
washed, not with milk, but
clean water, and allowed to
dry before milking. Ifprop-
erly cooled, milk may be al
lowed to stand thirty-six
hours in dry weather, and be
pure, but not in wet weather.
To keep through the season,
make a bag large enough to
cover the top of the package,
fill with salt, lay it over the
butter so as to exclude the
air thoroughly, moisten when
put on, and moisten once a

WOrm.Eaien Peas.


Professor Maurice Perkins,
Union University, Schenecta-
DIV, furnishes the following
for the Country Gentleman:
Very often in the spring |
have noticed that the peas,
beans, &C., for sale in the
stores for seed were worm
eaten. In many cases the
seeds were so eaten as to be
useless for seed. The wol m
and even the egg may be
easily destroyed by the bisul-
phide of carbon, a colorless,
volatile liquid, having an
odor like that of rotten eggs.
If the barrel containing the
seed is not quite full, moisten
a piece of cloth with the liq-
uid, lay it on the seeds and
cover the barrel with an old
horse blanket. The vapor of
the bisulphide will sink down
among the seeds and destroy
all animal life. The seeds
themselves will not be injur-
ed. Two or three ounces will
be enough for a halfdozen bar
reIs. This liquid is used in
Europe to destroy the weevil
in wheat. | have not seen
the above mentioned in any
agricultural paper, and
thought that it might prove
useful to some of your read
ers.
