A correspondent Of the Aassachssettl
Plosqkssa. says: MANY who own but
Q small piece Of land, as we'll as those
who have spacious gardens, may enjoy
one Of the creates iuxuries at q triainR
expense. Ny first attempt was . won
defful success. I began with Hovey's
Seeding, reeeived . fsw plants from q
friend, and ten times as many more from
q pasture; most of which were in bios
som, when they were taken up.
'They were set in hills circularly, and
were fartilised, about twelve plants in q
hill, Two and half feet distant. These
were hoed and generally cultivated, IS
corn would be, except, 'hilling.'"
"The weeds were very easily removed
or destroyed and the first season, from
these thirty hills, there was gathered
perhaps . quart.
"soon Is the bearing season was past,
Q liberal quantity Of manure wAs spread
over the piece and foiked in thoroughly,
and the ground was soon overspread
with new plants.
"Just before severe cold weather came
on, they were covered lightly with
straw.ltter, which ~as carefully re-
moved before the new growth commenc-
ed in spring, and in June and July fol.
lowing there were taken from this
small piece of land; thirty.three quarts
Of hulled Strawberries at the rate of
more than 5000 quarts to the acrel
. 'The berries were very large, some of
them five inches in circumferenee. More
I have cultivated WitSn's Al

fruit of superior favor and color.
"With q small number of choice
plants, therefore, and Others gathered
from the fields and properly intermin-
yled with the former, any. perssn of a

of this most delicious fruit, and sell
till greater quantity at a handsome

VIM. Cyrus, who siss of his graHge:
At one II our meetings i beautiful
boquet of rare flowers Wis placed by L
sister on the riasters table. In q ftio-
ment it had created flutter of excite
ment among the wide group of sisters:
Exclamations, first Of surpfise, and then
of admifation Of the beautiful flowers,
ran around their circles, with such ques-
tions As, where did you get the seed :
and, how can get . start of themf etc.
This was the beginning point, and last
year there were moro flowers grown in
this vicinity than during ten years BE-
fore our grange was organized.
The nett move was the choicest fruits
in their season; gooseberries, currants,
cherries, apples, pluma grapes, ETC.,
found their way to our meetings and ap-
peared on the masters table, - also the
first specimens of the keld and garden.
If the supply of these b sufficient they
are made common stock and our lunch
table is loaded with them at noon, other
wise they pass them around that those
who have lived in neglect of such deli
cacies, may learn to know their full val
ue and be stimulated. to their culture.
I think that in the near future we
shall be able to make of our grange not
only an interesting but the most practi-
cal little fair that it is possible to get up.
Now, my brother, each neighborhood
should labor to make their home grange

and by mutual visitation they would
earn to understand aud vie with each
heotr in production and advancement.

Cause and Cure Of 6spes.

+ D. NJ. Montgomery, of Pleasant Ridge
Alabama, writes to the Couricr-Journal
as follows:
The gapes are caused by numerous
small worms in the throat. think they
most generally come from impure water,
through wet, ill-feeding and ill-ventila-
ted fowl houses, confinement on a sim
gle spot of gfound year after year, with
out attention to cleanliness, are the
causes which produce this and many
other diseases. The frequent occurrence
of gapes is a disgrace to any poultry
yard. If taken early in hand, it will be
sufficient to give every day morsel of
camphor the size Of grain of wheat and
put camphor in the drinking water, or q
little turpentine may be given daily in
meal, taking care, of course that the
causes of the disease are removed. In
fully developed cases, the worms must be
removed from the windpipe by feather
stripped almost up to the top, and intro
duced into the traches, and turned round
during withdrawal. A little turpentine
used on the feather will be an advantage.
Mrs. d. Cohen, of Danville, KY, also
writes that she has tried the following
with great success: Take stalk Of
timothy hay, clean the chaff and seed off;
insert into the windpipe, and twist it
around several times after 80 doing give
weak salt water and pill of pepper then
wrap in q warm wooden cloth.

Bewed gsf'A For Feed.

EDITOR RURAL WORLD: I have
learned by experience in this climate,
and especially in seasons that we have
been visited by the grasshoppers, the
importance of having good crop of
corn sown for the purpose of feeding
during the summer as we'll as in the win
ter. 1 plow my land as soon as it is con-
venient in the spring, harrowit, and let
it lie say until the first of June, some
times as late as the last of that month.
I then cultivate we'll with the corn cul-
tivator, harrow finely and plant.
In planting, use corn planter, drop
ping three to five grains in hill, fifteen
to twenty inches apart in the row; when
have gone ovef my land, I turn about
and straddle q row and plant it over
again. Thus have my rows two feet
apart, and my hills fifteen to twenty
inches in the rows. When planted, I
roll the land. After the corn is we'll up,
l harrow with q Thomas harrow twice,
and the cultivation is done.

with excellent results, which send, as

wish to plant without using the drill.
After the land is prepared, take small

lands or go entirely around the field.

I think farmers would each do we'll to

A NEW PRoPErY OF MILK.-A cor
respondent of an English daily paper,
says: There is one circumstance re-
specting the peculiar properties Of milk,
which have not seen alluded to in the
newspaper articles on the subject, but
which seems an additional proof of its
power of attracting and absorbing impure
matter. allude to the practice of plac.
ing . saucer of new milk in q larder, ih
ordor to preserve meat or game from
approaching taint. It 10 said that not
only does it answer that purpose, but
that the milk after few hours becomes
90 bad that no animal will touch it.

The following compound, recommend.
ed by q French chemist several years
since, may be worth trying on potatoes
for destroying the potato beetle. Take
two and half pounds of block soap, two
and half pounds of -four of sulphur,
two pounds of mushrooms, of the species
generally found in low moist grounds,
and thirty quarts of wster. Divide the
water into two equal parts; put one-half
into a cask with the soap and mushrooms
after they have been bruised; boil the
other half of the water in kettle, with
the sulphur in a bag and kept down to
the bottom of the water with weight.
The sulphur must be stirred about, in
order to better saturate the water. The
water thus boiled must be thrown
into an ordinary sized cask until it has
acquired high degree of foul odor, and
the cask then closed up tightly. This
solution may be sprinkled over infested
trees, or plants of any kind, and it is said
to be certain death to all kinds of insects.

 The State of Arkansas has erected a spacious building on the plateau northwest of the Cath ollie fountain. The structure is octagonal in shape, and is built in three tiers, rising one above another, and decreasing in size as they near the top. The high est tier is surmounted by q dome. In the construction of the build ing Q large amount of glass has been used, making it one of the coolest and most airy structures on the grounds. The exterior is colored in pale tints, relieved with dark brown, and the interior is painted white, with Howe truss arches of dark blue, supporting 1 the roof. The entrance is on the east side, with the coat of arms of the state, partially surrounded by the inscription, "1776-Ar- kansas 1876" above the door way. A feature in the construc tion Is the erection of projecting windows, square in shape, at eacl lof the angles of the building.

Less than two years ago sam uel J. Tilden was elected Govern or of New York. It was the year after the panic. The people felt poor and they demanded a reduc- tion in the expenses of the gov ernment. The taxes for 1874 were $lS,0O0,O0O The taxes for 1876 are $S,000,000. fhere is no humbug, no sham, no false pre- tenses about that. It is one of those solid substancial facts which touch the pocket, and influ ence the judgement of every citi- zen of every community in the State, for every man is taxpay- er.-Utica, ".

 Carl Schurz steps out of the reform line and forfeits a great reputation. But Oswald Otten- dorfer, of New York, and Judge Stallo and Fred Hassaurek, of Ohio, amply sustain the credit of the German name by ranging themselves on the side of Tilden and Reform. Y. Sun.
 Grant naturally seeks to per petuate his power through weak successor. Therefore he not only promises all the aid his admins tration can give, but presents himself at a ratification meeting with Bro.

 -Gov. Hayes has nothing in hischaracter or his career which separates him from the crowd of Republican politicians. His rec ord would be a blank, except that he pocketed the back pay in 1866. He never raised finger or lifted his voice for any real reform, and during the controversies of these recent years he has been dumb, while to the extent of his lnflu- ence he has exerted himself as 8 champion of the Administration.

An Arkansaw gentleman was ont hunting, and having fired away all his ammunition but one charge, he espied large bear coming. Knowing that It would go hard with him if he missed, he took deliberate aim, fired and did not hit the bear. In his ex- tremity, not knowing what to do, he bethought himself of prayer, and kneeling down commenced : "Oh Lord, I've never asked any thing of you before, and if l once get out Of this scrape, I'll never trouble you again. But do help me this once; l know I've been an awful sinner; I've fit and drank, and lied and cussed. But if 1 have been so wicked that you can't help me, oh Lord, don't t help the bar. But if on account of my sins you won't stand by me, all l ask of you, Lord, is to lay low and keep dark, and you'll see one of the d-dest fights you ever beheld.

It will cleanse and brighten wonderfully. To a pint of hot suds add tea spoonful of the spirits, dip in your forks and spoons, or what ever else you have to clean, rub with q soft brush and finish with chamois skin. For washing windows and mirrors, it has no equal. It will remove grease from all fabrics, without injuring the garment. Put on the ammo nia nearly clear; lay plotting paper over, and set hot iron on it for a moment. Also a few drops in a bowl of water, if the skin be oily, will remove all greas mess and disagreeable odors. Added to footbath, it will re- move the disagreeable smell nat ural to feet in warm weather.

Samuel J. Tildcn.

Samuel J. Tilden, the Demo
 atic nominee for the Presidency, as born at New Lebanon, in the puntv of Columbia, State of New
 ork, in lSI4, and is now sixty 70 years Of age.
 Gov. Tilden's grand father, Dhn Tilden, settled in Columbia Dunty. The Governors mother as descended from William pncs, Lieutenant Governor of le Colony of New Haven, who
 all the histories of Connecticut
 represented to have been the ,n of Col. John Jones, one of the ,gicide ju iges of Charles l., who
 said to have married a sister of
 liver Cromwell and a cousin of ohn Hampdcn. The Governor s Rther, farmer and merchant of New Lebanon was q man of nota- lc judgment and practical sense.
 Mir. Tilden has always been a lccessful leader in everything ndertaken by him. At school e was the leading scholar, as a olitician he has always been q Lader, and as q lawyer, he stands rst in the profession. As early s 1892, and during the campaign Thioh resulted in the re election f Gen. Jackson to the Presiden- y of the United States, and Wm. J. Marcy to the Governorship of Few York, Tllden, then eighteen ears old wrote the Democratic ddrcss, which was adopted, and ublished over the signatures of he old Democratic citizens of hls ounty. Of this address 1t is aid:
 "The Evening Journal paid it he compliment of attributing it b the pen of MT. Van Buren, and he Albany Argus paid it the reater compliment of stating "by (uthority" that Mir. Van Buren vas not the author"
 Mir. Tllden commenced his col egIate course at Yale College, which institution he was com bclled to leave on account of ill health.
 After some rest he was enabled 10 resume his studies, and in 1884 rntered the University of New York, where he completed his academic education. He then en- tered the law office of the late John W. Edmunds, in the city pf New York, where lie enjoyed peculiar facilities for the prosecu tion of his fayonte studies of law and politics.
 In 1897, and during the bitter discussions which grew out o' President Van Buren's message |convening q special session oI |Congress, and recommending the |separation of the Government from the banks, and the establish lncnt of the independent Treas l ury, Mr. Tilden, though still ; sMdent, sprang to the defense O the Presidents policy, and wrot, a series of papers, marked by al the characteristics of his matur ity, and advocating the propose separation and the rcdeemabilit, of the Government currency il specie. These articles were sign ed "CRINo."
 When Sen. Talmadge left tn Democratic party, in 1888, an undertook, upon the stump, t give his reasons for SO doing young Tilden met him in his ol county of Columbia and complete ly upset the Senator's $ dcfens for his treason to the Democrat party.
 Mir. Tilden, who had watchc this financial revolution of I83 from the beginning, and knew il merits as thoroughly, perhaps,
 any man of his time, undertook
 dcf6use of the Presidents schem
 and, to overthrow the soplistri,
 of his enemies in a speech whic
