San Francisco, April 1.-The state

authority that frauds on the customs
amounting to from five to seven mil

here. A large proportion of the
smuggling is by way of Panama, du.

shipped from here TO New York and
vice versa, but on the arrival OF
steamers at Panama other packages

; stones; save them till you have con-
siderable quantity. Soak them in
water few hours, to loosen the fruit
remaining in the dents then scrub
them clean with an old tooth brush.
and split them in two. Now take an
old two quart TIN basin; punch three or
more holes near the rim for suspend
ing cords, and one at the center of the
bottom for'drainage. Paint the basin
inside or coat it with melted rosin, to
prevent rust, and cover the outside of
1t with putty. Press the half peach
stones into the putty on the outside
putting the largest ones ON the bottom,
and taking care not to cover the hole
for drainage. ~ Now cover the whole
with a little asphaltum dissolved in
spirits of turpentine. When the putty
is dry you will have a handsome and
unique hanging basket, resembling
carved work, rich enough to repay you
well for your trouble. @T
OATMEAL IN THE HOUsEHOLD.--
Baldudao's Monthly for September calls
attention to the fact that in Great
Britain children of all ranks are raised
on an oatmeal diet alone, because it
causes them to grow strong and
healthful, and no better food can pos
sibly be found for them. 1t is also
quite as desirable for the student as
tor the labOrer, and for the delicate
lady and for her hard working sister;
indeed, all classes would be greatly
benefited by its use, and dyspepsia,
with all it's manifold annoyances, can
be kept at distance. Oatmeal is more
substantial food, it is said, than veal,
pork and lamb, and quite equal to beef
and mutton, giving as much or more
mental vigor, while the great desider-
alum consists IN ones not becoming
weary of it, for it is as welcome for
breakfast or tea as bread. 1t can be
eaten with strip and butter as hasty
pudding, or with cream and sugar, like
rice. The same authority says it is es-
peclally good for young mothers, upon
whose nervous forces too great a de-
N and has been made, and they lose
the equilibrium Of the system, and be-
come depressed and dispirited Oat-

Ventilation for Stables.

The lungs of a horse are just like
those of a man, except in size; they
have precisely the same Office to per-
form, in precisely the same way, and
need the same conditions to perform it
efectually. Such ventilation of the
houses where men live as will secure
supply Of reasonably pure air, is re-
cognized as an essential condition of
human health, and the forms of
disease which are caused by the want
of it are well known, as are the means
of securing the requisite supply of air
and the method OF avoiding dangerous
impurities. Everybody who has had
occasion to so into large city stable
In winter, or IN summer either, for that
matter, must remember the pungent,
Sitting odor of ammonia, which, if his
lungs were at all sensitive, "took away
his breath for a moment or two.
Other foul smells from the rotting
straw and filth, would also have forced
themselves upon his attention if. the
pungency of the one first mentioned
had not overpowered them Such an
atmosphere, In which most horses
spend the greater part of their lives,
cannot be conducive to a healthy con-
dition of their organs of respiration,
and certainly not promotive of recov.

that it is a wonder that so many farm
ers will cut up their corn without its
aid to stand the shock up to while cut
ting. It is a tool which any farmer
who wants it will make for himself, for
there are none IN market, and no agent
! about to tell us Of their great useful
ness. But they are Of no less merit
for all that. By using one to form the
shock to, instead Of placing it against
a. standing hill, we have som ething
much frmer to stand It to, We have all
the corn cut up, and are pretty sure to
have the shock better balanced, and for
that reason standing, because every
quarter as it is cut will be placed into
each quarter section Of this implement
Tor corn-horse), thus bracing the whole
nicely from each quarter when bound
together at the top. For instance, if [
take six rows of corn for a row of
stocks, and six hills Of row las gen
orally do), giving thirty-six hills to
bunch, take my horse in between the
third and fourth rows and stand it for
the shock between the third and fourth
hills; standing so it represents nine
hills in each quarter. Then I cut the
first three hills of the third row and
place In one quarter, while the man
: working against me cuts the first three
hills of the fourth row, and places them
In the second quarter opposite. Then
each cuts the next three bills of
the same rows, placing into third and
fourth quarters. Next cut the second
and fifth, then the first and sixth rows
just the same, thus only putting three
hills into each quarter at once alter
nately, will balance it up good to stand.
The best way to make a corn-horse is
to get dry cedar pole 16 feet long, and
about 4 inches at the butt, and If little
crooked, bowiLg about foot, all the
better. Put two legs into the butt of
the pole two and one-haf or three feet
long, with q spread of two feet on the
ground, and SO as to have the pole bow
ing up if it is crooked, for then it won't
require SO long legs. At five feet back
from these legs bore an inch hole hori-
zontally through the pole, through
which insert loose pin twenty inches
on each side, that is three and one-half
feet long. Then for use stand this in
4 the corn as described above, SO that the
cshock viii be stood up into the angles
made by this pin and the pole. When
this is cut and bound pull out this long
pin, then taking the large end of the
pole draw it ahead through this shock
and place it for another and SO on
through the field. It will be found
palmer, handler work, and can be done
by coarser or less skilled help to put it
up in good order than caa put it up as
quick and well in any other way.
