A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS MUST
COME.
From the Philadelphia Times.

A revival must come. Because it has
not come long ago it is no reason to de.
spond. We have made too many goods,
lived in too expensive a manner, and
transacted business ns if no cloud would
ever arise in the business sky. We are
paying fer these follies, and the debt is
not yet cancelled. But this country
cannot be made bankrupt: Its wealth
ia unparalleled, it's resources beyond
computation and its people equal to any
emergency that may arise in their bust
ness history. The only matter is not to
loose hope, pluck or endurance while
the remainder OF the cloud is passing
The indications are that the fall trade
will be an improvement upon that oi
the spring, and as the causes which pro-
duced the depression are gradually pass.
ing away, the coming of sounder state
of trade may be attached to trade laws
and their operations.

The SesUing Machine.

Where is the benefit of itr Fashion
and folly have robbed us Of nearly all
the benefits hoped for from tho introduc-
tiou Of the sewing machine. The women
who used to make dresses with the needle
have not been relieved from their work.
Fashion has added thousands of stitches
where hundreds were only necessary
And fifteen or twenty dollars are paid fol
the making of dress now, requiring @
girl 10 work q whole week upon it with
the aid also Of the sewing machine
There is twenty yards of silk in it, and
Perhaps as many yards of rufaing. Five
or six dollars used to be large sum tx
pay for making dress and it took but
ten to twelve yards of silk and the laboi
Of three or four days without the aid O.
the sewing machine.
Fashion is costly jade, and never 81
costly as now, when the country neve
needed economy more. The folly of tn,
women's dress is making millions poo
and keeping other millions from gettinl

The Washington Republican remarks that
"the difference between Phil. Sheridan and
Bishop Wilmer is to be found in the fact that
Sheridan remembers the Coushatta massacre
and similar incidents as proof OF the lawless-
ness of certain classes of the southern people,
while Bishop Wilmer seems only to recollect
that the colored people of the state are liable
to steal chickens"
The Boston Advertiser says that the Ma
ton is not well-informed when it asserts that
Mr.. Adams would have been elected Senator
if the Democrats had favored him at first.
The Advertiser says the only result would
have been the election of Mr.. Dawes upon
the first day instead of the second.
Speaking of his own people, Charles Gay
are, the resident historian Of Louisiana, says
they have ever been volatile, revolutionary,
insurrectionary, and addicted to violence and
murder. They had more trouble among
themselves in the good old Democratic days,
when thew had no Phil. Sheridan among
them-simply TO keep the peace. And this
is a point upon which we should delight TO
see the Southern newspapers and the Demo-
cratic politicians expatate and express them
selves.
But the House, in its proposed action, is
threatened with serious danger. In any
amendment to the rules adopted by the ma
iority, the greatest care must be taken to so
restrict it that no corrupt jobs can be forced
through under its provisions. There is a
strong suspicion that number of lobby
schemers are basing their hopes upon this
letting down of the bars. There may be no
truth in it, But the public has right to be
apprehensive, remembering that hundred
members of the House will retire to private
life at the close of the session, most of them
with no hopes of ever again emerging. To
guard against this danger effectually is even
more important than to pass the Civil Rights
bill.-HdrtfOrd COurdnt.

They took a yoke of cattle as nearly alike as
possible; one man tying his OK to the fence
and feeding him all the turnips he could eat
and nothing else. The other man was to tie
his OK in the same manner and throw snow
balls at him and nothing else. At the end OF
a week of these respective ways OF feeding,

Pole Beans without Poles.

j. B. Root. of Rockford, ILL.,, tells in his
Garden Manual, how he succeeded last year
in raising Lima beans without poles. One
fifth of an acre was planted in hills, six seeds
to each, eyes down, and when the runners
we're three feet high if strightened up, the
tips were niped off, thus inducing prompt
development of all blossoms, and set of side
shoots which clung to-each other and formed
a sort of cone. No more pinching in was
practiced for fear OF too late growth. The
result was the plants seemed content with
a less statue, and large proportion OF the
settings patured. The crop was tnlly one
half greater than before, and more than half
greater than that on poles the same season.
Hereafter he will confine himself TO this
method, with the difference that lath, set
deep, will be used for each hill. This will
furnish something for the cone 10 cling TO in
a wind, and the top of the lath will be good
point at which to nip the vine. II is added
that if the crop is raised for ripe beans there
should be several pickings, as some OF the
pods touch the ground and in wet time the
beans become stained. While others are
advised, on the strength of this experience, to
try the plan, it is recommended that with
this, as with all new things, to hasten slow
w. and never risk any entire crop on an ex-
oeriment.o %

Ant. Enemie. to Ca.crpilIar-.

The Belgian official Journal, referring to
the ignorant conduct of those who destroy all
kinds of birds and insects indiscriminately,
insists on the necessity of children in prima-
ry schools being taught to distinguish between
useful and noxious insects, and thus to ex-
ercise their destructive faculties against the
latter only The writer proceeds to say that
the ant, which is very disagreeable and incon-
venient in many respects, does excellent SER
vice in chasing and destroying caterpillars
with relentless energy. A farmer, who had
noticed this fact, and had had his cabbages
literally devoured by caterpillars, at last hit
upon the expedient of having an ant hill, or
rather nest, such as abound in pine forests,
brought to his cabbage plot. A sackfIl of
the pine points abounding in ants, was OBJ
tanned, and the contents strewn around the
infested cabbage plants. The ants lost no
time, but Immediately set to work; they
seized the caterpillars by their heads. The
next day heaps of dead caterpillars were
found, but not one alive, nor did they return
to the cabbages. The value of the ant is well
known in Germany, and although their eggs
are in great request as food for yonng part
ridges, pheasants and nightingales, there is a
fine against taking them from the forests.
The ant is indefatigable in hunting IFS prey;
it climbs to the very tops of trees, and de-
stroys an immense quantity of noxious insects.

that the imports of wheat from the United
States were considerably in excess last year
of previous years. In 1873 the United States
furnished forty-five per cent. of all the foreign
wheat received; in 1874, fifty-five per cent.
There is still more gain in wheat flour; in
1878 it was twenty-five per cent. of the whole,
and in 1874 fifty-two per cent.

Bearing Lambs with Profit.

A large share of the profit of sheep hus-
bandry arises from the increase in lambs, ,and
as limited above, their number, hardness and
value depends largely on the condition of the
ewes in the winter and spring. "One of the
greatest sheep breeders has declared that
sheep, highly fed about the time the buck is
put with them in the fall, will almost invaria-
bly, have two lambs apiece, and that these
may nearly all be raised by proper attention
to the Mothers" Whatever share of truth
there may be in this, it is unquestionable that
sheep in good condition produce better lambs
and take better care of them, so that the
raise much larger number than those in
poor condition. 1t is getting to be the prac-
tice with many of those who keep pure wool
sheep to turn in the bucks about the 1st of
December, that the lambs may ii3t begin to
come before May, when sheep may usually
go to pasture, though they should still have a
daily feed of grain, and return to their sheds
in stormy weather. In the more northern
sections Of our country, and with the coarser
wooled sheep, it may be advisable to provide
Tor earlier lambs-as early as March or the
last OF February-as the season is too short
to prepare them for market or to allow them
time for growth sufficient TO endure well the
second winter, when coming after grass. In
order to get the best and healthiest lambs 1t is
always advisable to keep uD the condition OF
sheep, either by feeding plenty of good hay
or sufficient grain and straw to effect that OBJ.
ject. If hay is fed part of the day and straw
the remainder, sorhe grain must be added to
make up the deficiency. Roofs may be used
for this purpose with good economy in the
milder weather of winter.-N. Y. Herald.

uairy Product. for New York City.

From an article on the subject, in the TTi-
bune, we learn that during the season the
New York and Oswego Railroad ran one train
per week loaded with butter and cheese,
besides few cars daily on other trains; 300,
900 pounds of cheese and 100000 pounds OF
butter were the usual load On that train.
About $50, 900 pounds Of butter were daily
received from Chicago and the far west, by
way of the Pittsburg and Western Railway
refrigerator cars. BY way of the Erie Rail-
way forty cheese cars and seven to ten but
ter ears were received daily, carrying about
1,00O,0 pounds of cheese and 100000
pounds of butter. The Delaware, Lecka-
wana and Western Railroad brought in daily
about $4,000 pounds of butter, from Sussex
County, New Jersey. Nearly all that came
By the three first mentioned routes was con-
signed to wholesale and commission dealers,
while that from New Jersey and large guam
titles from Northern New York and the up
river counties, went, much of it, into the
hands of small dealers and retailers. 1t was
found impossible to ascertain even approxi-
mately, the amount of butter and cheese
that went directly to consumers or the small
retailers. Large quantities are sold in New
York for export, but where it all comes from
was not ascertained. None of the butter ex-
ported was "extra," the consumptive demand
of the city absorbing all the extra butter re-
ceived--COuntry Gentleman.

cream is more difficult to churn than sour,
and although the quantity of butter appears
larger, it arises from excess OF caseine attach
ed, which also prevents its keeping well. The
temperature of go degrees is about right for
churning cream, with slight variations ac-
cording to the season. Work out the butter
milk, and work in the salt, as it comes from
the churn; all subsequent working breaks up
the grain of the butter, and Injuries its qnality
and value. The Liverpool Ashton salt is per-
fectly reliable; perhaps the New York salt
may be as good. The Vermont dairyman
