DESCRIPrIYE.

Mr.. New, the successor of General
Spinner, is said to write even a more
outlandish hand than his predecessor.
Greenbacks are not very plentiful on
this coast, yet We presume almost
every one is familiar with the sigma
ture of General Spinner. Judging
from the following descriptive para
graphs from Eastern papers it would
appear that the lately appointed United
States Treasurer is destined to achieve
great renown through the inimi.able
style of his chirography:
The Cincinnati Commercial has a
facsimile OF the signature of j. Z.

Mr. HUTCHINSON. of Wood, in the
course OF hi, speech Yesterday, asked
most fcchngly, where is that $4,000
the Radicals stole?' That's just what
the people want TO know. Where is it?
He further said that the matter had been
placed in the hands of our accomplished
Attorney General to be ferrctcd OUT but
he hal not vet been able to De- So. And
that he Mr.. ii would be willing to
speak ninety days without rest or
pay to help in the search; bu;
if the Attorney-Gcneral could not find
the RndicaI who stole ii. he couldn't.
That's all very nice in sound; while the
Radicals who stole it may have shown

this late date they may DEFY investiSa-

A PRIZE PLOUcHMAN.

At the Quimper agriculture meeting in
the commune Of Beuzee-Conq, canton OF
Concarl neau, young girl Of the COM
mune Of Lauriec, Mdlle. Fourier, ac-
companied by younger sister OF four
teen, presented herself with her nipple
ment to contest the prize for ploughing.
A similar case never having occurred,
the judges were at first somewhat en-
barrassed, but as nothing in the progra-
mme p rohibited such a competitor, she
was, to her great satisfaction, admitthd.
She then, without hesitation as with
out ostentation, disdaining the laughter
and jeers OF her opponents, took great
pains to see that her plough was in per.
iect order, and, the signal being given,
she executed her task with SO much ease
and address that she did not appear to
experience any fatigue. By the unani-
nous opinion of the committee she was
considered to have gained the first prize,
not only because her work was superior,
but further because she took fourteen
minutes less in doing it than any OF the
others. That decision was so much the
more gratifying to all present, as the
fact became known her mother is 9
widow; she, being the Oldest of toul
girls, manages by their assistance to d.
all the work of q farm.-1he Fintsterc.

GRANGE BUSINESS AGENTS.

The Journal of Agriculture upon this
subject wisely says that for two states to
have two business agent in sirgle city
is an absurdity. That the Order must
be one in business, as it is in principle.
One agent in St. Louis is enough to
serve all who trade in the city whether
in Missouri, Kansas, Texas Arkansas Or
Illinois. So one iu Chicago should serve
all who trade there from Northern Iii
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, or any other
state. Another agent in New York. one
in Charleston, one in New Orleans, and
say one in San Francisco, and the ar
rangement is complete. These should
work together like cog-wheels in ma
chine keep up a system OF exchange
and all under the supervision of and paid
by the National Grange.
Then let subordinate oranges estab-
fish agences to suit themselves, either by
district, county or less, and pay stipu.
lated salary. and the work is done. We
have only aamed the points for general
agents, and yet we can't be far wrong in
the list given. With this system, which
would be economy in the strictest sense
only one thing would be lacking-per-
feet confidence. This will come in time.
but every act must be such as to com
mand it.

and the combined prizes amounted to

America would send q ''crack sample"
to compete for the sweepstakes premium
but the statement was made-by whom
or on what authority is not mentioned
that time had not been afforded this year,
"but that America would next year put
in an appearance" The future will

marks the North British Agriculturist.

speeches of come length were made show
ing, among other things, ''that the time

SWEET POTATO VINE.

This is really very desirable vine
TOR the house. It is rapid grower and
is much more delicate in appearance I'M
der house culture than when growing
out of doors. If vine OF this kind Is
desired, select (the earlier the better)
well-ripened tuber of the Red Nausemond
variety, this kind is said to be the most
vigorous grower. Ii your potato is eight
or ten inches long and four or five inches
in diamer it will be about the right size.
A dark-colored hyacinth glass is suita-
BILE and pretty holder for the potato, but
a common glass fruit can or small earth
ern jar will do. Fill the vessel with rain
water, and stand the potato in the
mouth Of it, allowing only two or three
inches Of the potato to 60 down into the
water. Set it in warm, bright place
to sprout, filing up the holder with
water as fast as it evaporates. Proba-
bly, great macy sprouts will start at
once or in quick succession; break off
all hut three or four Of these as your vine
will, by SO doing, be much longer and
more luxuriant. Nothing more will be
needed for the protection of this vine.
except to keep the vessel containing it
filed with rain water.

for the complexion DR.. Henderson,
writing to an Indian paper, says that all
curries are colored with tumeric, and
that if habitually eaten they will IN
course Of years affect the f1cshy tissue,
and ultimately the skin. The Jaundiced
hue of many Anglo-Indiansi is not due
to sun-burning or any affection OF the
liver, but results solely from the con-
slant consumption Of curries containing
tumeric.
To make crullers: Mix well together
half pint Of sour milk, or buttermilk,
two teacupfuls of sugar, one teacupiul OF
butter, and eggs well beaten; add to
this teaspoonful OF salt, half nutmeg
grated, and a teaspoonfal Of powdered
cinnamon: slit in flour enough to make
a smooth dough; roll it out not quite q
quarter Of an inch thick; cut in small
oblong pieces; divide one end in three
or tour parts like fingers, and twist OF
plat them over each, other. Fry them
in boiling lard. These cakes may be
cut in strips and the end joined, to make
ring, or in any other shape.

IMPORTATION OF ANIMALS.

The importation of foreign animals
into Great Britain during the year 1874
was on the whole, less than that Of 1873
the cattle showing decrease Of 5.872,
and the sheep showing decrease OF
81, 354, whilst the importation Of swine
increased by 1891 head. The importa-
ton from Ireland also decreased by 1885,
400 cattle and q, O96 swine, but increased
in the number of sheep by 139. $50 head.
In the report Of the department for 1879,
page Is, data were set forth upon which
the estimated relation which the foreign
supply OF live cattle bears to the total
supply was shown; and, on calculating
the relative proportions furnished from
each. ofthe sources Of supply for the sue
ceeding years upon the same basis, they
will be found 10 be a. follows:
1871. lS62 1914. 1874,
Home supply ,about 57K SIX 54x 81 pr G.
Irish do do . san IS 38K
Foreign do do In 9k I0H 10
Upon IN e&timate based on similar
data being made with respect TO the
number ufhome catt1e ayailahle fof con-
sumption in 1874, taken together with
the imports in that year Of Irish and
foreign cattle, Il IS found that, although

pears 10 have increased, there was .
falling off in the total number OF cattle
available tor consumption in Great
Britain in 1874. The falling of is re-
markable, as although there was an IN
crease in the number Of sheep and swine
imported, and an increase in the esti-
mated home supply Of sheep available
for consumption, there was decrease in
the estimated number Of swine SO availa,
BILE, as well as decrease in the import OF
dead meat, and this, with the deficiency
above referred to in the supply OF cattle,
shows the total supply Of meat to have
been less; SO that so far as it can be as
certained, the conclusion is inevitable,
that, without considering increase Of
population, the consumption Of meat pei
head during the past year has been less
than in the previous year, which may
probably in part be accounted for BY the
disturbance in the labor market.

to the tore with enticing circulars. There
arr any number OF other penitentiary
candidates going up and down the coun-
try atall times, trying to take farmers in,
but those who read the papers are not
usually those who fall easy victims to

Smith, in the prairie farmer, gives
advice, which would be grand for the
Changers to put into practice. He says:
"By entirely abolishing the ritual and
having no degrees, but simply giving the
applicant the obligation, we would then
have time to discuss questions of interest
in the Grange. Brother Patrons, let US
rebel az ainst SO much juvenile ceremony
and begin work in the Grange that will
make our meetings interesting. have
been trying to make Grange meetings
interesting, but invariably fail, and the
cause of our failure is owing to the time
occupied by ceremony"
