both failed. He then. appealed to. ma

GrasshOppers Moving.

A special correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe, writes from Usage Mission,
Kansas: 1t has been quite warm here for
several days, and grasshoppers are hatch
ing out by the quadrupled millions.
They are very small but very sprightly,
and make quite commotion in the dry
leaves of the woods at the approach of
an intruder. The farmers have not dis
covered their presence yet, as there is no
talk of them on the streets. But that is
probably to the very singular fact
that the bugs" are to be found only in
the timber. Now, your correspondent,
in observing their action last summer
and autumn, noted that they deposited
their eggs chiefly in the fields, along
highways, and in barren spots of ground,
but yesterday there were no signs of them
anywhere save in the timber. : One would
naturally infer from this that the cold
weather has killed them where the ground
is not protected in any way; but be that
as it may, there are enough of them hatch
ing out in the woodlands to supply all
deficiencies in. other Localities. Some
scientific gentlemen, in an article to the
Kansas City Times last Autumn, stated
that the insects were natives OF higher
attitudes than this and that they would
naturally'be unhealthy in a denser atmos-
phcre, and as soon as they were able TO
navigate the air would take up that I'M
easy march 80 characteristico of their adj
vent here last year. This same gentle
man gave them the name of "Rocky
Mountain pests, ",from the fact that they
were Matched out along the slopes and
table lands of the Rocky Mountains
and then in search Of food came pouring
down, like a very cloud of Pluto, upon
the valleys of the Mississippi.
We have had a very late spring here,
and as yet there is little for the "var-
mints" to eat. Very little rain has fall
en- in this part Of Kansas this last winter,
and in March there was but one shower.
Wheat is backward but IL has not been
killed by the frosts The farmers are
making active preparations to rub off the
gloom, and if the Internal .grasshoppers
will only, migrate before they deyour
everything, Kansas will be right side up
IN short time. .a.-s-..s.,.. ~. =, - 4 =

them that Il would be impossible, with any
amount of money, to organize and equip
even a semblance Of his establishment with
out a preparation Of several years, The
lCincinnati Daily Enq9rsr of February ~,
1875, says that this Hippodrome Is simply
the "wreck Of that stupendous fraud known
as the Great Eastern and Great, Southern
Circus Ind 'Menagerie Combination, which
exploded at Selma, Ala, the 10th Of last
November, pumber o. horses having to be
sold to pay the expenses OF shipping the
show to this city, where the proprietors left
a number OF their employees unpaid and
penniless and yamosed. Who the real pro-
prietors of the business were still remains a
matter of considerable mystery, but 1t is
generally believed that Andy lHaight, one
Gibbons and George Weber and others were
large stockholders. The defrauded circas
men aud, others connected with the concern
finally obtained the aid OF the law to com.
pei settlement of their just claims, and
the whole matter ended in the show being
attached at Hamilton, and in an auction sale

Germ, only a few lions being in good cen,
dition, and the menagerie including nc
really rare or valuable animals" 1Cacsy H.

1 caution to discover which is the real and
which isthe bogus concern, though we see
that Mr.. BarnuN complains that some show,

POULTRY, aside from a dry house,
cleanliness, warmth, ventilation, sun
light, choice variety of food, pure wa
ter, dry earth, prepared muck, ashes,

The engineer of sugar mill in the
island of Barbados uses raw cows hide
in place of the ordinary leather betting,
and says that 1t lasts four times as long
and only costs one-fourth as much. The
hide is dried in the sun, cut perfectly
straight, and the joints stitched with
saddler's hemp thread. He has an eight
inch belt of this kind, driving line of
three-inch shafting, from which a q inch
belt drives the sugar machines.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman says that the way to Danish
rats is, plant asphodel near the barn or
stable where they are, or put some in
their holes. Rats have such an aversion
for this plant that they will quit the
premises where it is, If they are in
drains or in cellars, scatter sulphate of
iron (copperas,) in their runs. The cop
peras should not be dissolved. 1t is our
best and cheapest disinfectant. The
sulphuric acid burns their feet, and they
leave in a short time, without dying.
This will be appreciated by every house
keeper that has had to endure the stencil
of dead rat.
The Sacramento Union says: 1t is a
strange-sounding proposition to feed hogs
with hay, but we have experience in this
line, and, however strange or odd it may
seem, it is, Notwithstanding, fact, tina {
hogs will not only eat alfalfa hay, but
that they will do well on it. We first
discovered the fact by throwing lot OF
alfalfa chaff from which the seed had
been cleaned over to some hogs for q
rest, when to our surprise they devoured
it with as much greediness as they would
SO much oats or barley. Our own ex-
perience and observation since, has
proved to US that good alfalfa hay, with
plenty of water, will keep hogs in good
growing condition all through the
! winter Hs-E.L
