Hanging Baskets.

An old fig drum or salt-box can be
converted into lovely hanging basket
by drilling holes in three places, to pass
wires through, and then mailing upon the
outside strips of bark, pine cones or dry
MOSES; and you will possess a rustic
basket which can be suspended from the
trees, or porch, or piazza, and will grow
in beauty daily. If you are so fortunate
as to live in the vicinity of sawmill or
tan yard you can easily procure messy
oak or hemlock bark, and these mingled
with the pliable stems of wild grape
vines, will afford you rustic work which
will be the admiration of every one.
Take any old shallow box of the d.
mansions you may desire, or make one
that flares out at the sides, and cover it
with strips of the bark, joined neatly and
tightly nailed on. Finish the top with
strip of bark around the edge and glue
on moss here aud these to giveit pretty
effect. Then use the grape vines for
handles, twisting two or three of them
together, and you will have handle of
natures own handiwork over which you
can train vines, while in the box can be
planted all kinds of basket plants.-such
as ivys, geraniums, variegated sweet
alyssum, tradescantia, moneywort, tro-
peolums, etc.
Window boxes can be made to fit into
any window in this manner. and when
filled with charcoal at the bottom and a
rich sandy loan, and planted with bed
ding out plants or annuals-like asters
or balsams-they are lovely ornament
for months to come.
Beautiful hanging baskets can also be
made out of the bark and grapevines,
taking square bit of the bark for the
bottom of the basket and building up
the sides, log cabin fashion, out of the
pieces of grape vine, sawed into equal
lengths and fastened strongly at the
end with wire or shingls nails. A curved
piece of the vine can be made to do duty
for a handle.

CURE For GAPEs.-An experienced
chicken raiser says as soon as manifes-
,tation of gapes in his fowls appears, he
confines his chickens in a box, one at a
time, sufficiently large to contain the
bird, and place a coarse cotton or linen
cloth oyer the top. Upon this he places
air-slaked lime and taps the cloth suffic-
.iently to cause the lime to fall through.
This lime dust the fowl inhales and is
made to sneeze, and in short time the
cause of the gapes is thrown out in the
form of q Shiny mass of worms that had
accumulated in the wind pipe and small
Ter air vessels. This remedy he consid-
yers superior to any he has ever tried, and
he seldom fails to effect perfect cure.

when and How to Plov.

We make the following ext act from
an essay read before La Prairie, ILL.,,
Farmers Club, by VIM. Starting:
First-Why should we plows One Of
the reasons why we should pillow is that
it is the best way yet devised to clean
the ground of weeds. To prevent the
growth of plants we do not wish, and
assist and encourage those we do wish to
grow in the best and most expeditions
manner, and the least possible expense,
constitutes successful farming. We ma
nure for the purpose of enriching the
soil; we should pillow for the same pur-
pose. Plants are composed on the aver
age of ninety.five per cent. of organic
substance disappear in the form Of gases
and only the five per cent. of min
eral matter remains in the form of ashes.
If plants are burned in the open air these
ninety.fve per cent. of organic sub
stances disappear in the form of gases,
and only the five per cent. of mineral
matter remains in the form of ashes
When plants rot on the surface the same
changes take place, only the gaseous
substance instead of being dissipated in
the atmosphere are taken up and fixed
in the soil as food for future plants. The
soil has great attraction for these gases
and the finer and dryer it is the greater
the attraction. If fine dry soil'be spread
over any substances that are giving off
offensive odors it will Immediately decd.
orize and arrest the exhalation of these
noxious gases. This fact has been util-
lied in the construction and use of the
earth closet.
OF the second part of our subject, viz {:
When and how to pillow 1 would say ::
First-do not pillow your land when it is
so wet that it will bake into Jumps, if it
can be avoided, as lump will absorb no
more atmospheric gases than stone,
but the land should be plowed as soon
after taking crop off as possible, and
left in as fine loose friable condition as
possible, so that the atmosphere will
have the longest time and the largest
surface in which to deposit these enrich
ing substances. A hard, crusted surface
will exclude and repel the atmosphere
with all these gases, and should there
fore be broken up as soon as formed A
proper use of the pillow will so change the
chemical condition of the soil As to
greatly add to its capacity for the pro-
duction ofcrops, while on the other hand
an unthinking plowman may very mate
rally injure the productive capacity of
his land,

Ounces can be raised As easily as
apples or pears in the way we shall de-
scribe. Thee is no secret about it. Get
the "Orange" variety; see that they are
entirely free from the borer before plant
ing Set six or eight feet apart in rich
soil. Bandage the stem with two or
three wrappings of OLD muslin, or any
kind of cloth, as far down in the ground
as possible, as the roots start from near
the surface. Wet the ground, then pack
the soil comparatly a couple of inches
around the bandage, and renew this
every spring. Fine large, golden ounces
rivaling the largest oranges, will bless
you annually.

Hoes NEED SULPHUR.-Whether hogs
require sulphur as an esssasial to health,
or whether it is sought by them as a
eondiuept. may not be discovered. But
ne thing is true, they devour it with
greed whenever it is to be foqnd. 1t is
for this purpose probably that they will
eat large quantities Of soft coal, which
contains a large amount of sulphur.
Perhaps this is the most economical
method of supplying hogs with sulphur
during winter, when they require good
deal of carbon. But in summer it is
best to feed it to them in substances
which contain less carbon, on account
of their producing less beat. Mustard is
one of the best things for this purpose,
and some of it should be sowp in every
pasture into which hogs are turned. If
hogs are kept in, or are in small yards,
it is we'll to supply them with wild mus
tard that grows in the fields or highways
or to cultivate some of the best varieties
for them. They will eat its leaves, its
flowers, seeds and stalks.

THE FEELIYo IN wAsHINGroN
Republicans settling Down TO the Beiieftbnt
Tilden IL Elected.

WAsHINoToN, Nov. 0.-The excitement
has not aoated little in this city since last
night Great crowds have at all hours OF the
day and night surrounded the telegraph and
newspaper ofiices on Fourteenth street. and to-
night the streets are full OF people. who wander
restlessly from one point to another In search Of
the latest news. During the fore part OF the
day the Republicans were quite jubilant. and
claimed Hayes's election very positively. Al
about o'clock, however. they began to de-
sDond, and, although encouraging reports con-
tnued to come from Republican leaders In New
York and elsewhere. was manifest that tho
rank and Ole here were settling down to the be-
lief that nothing but the oficial returns would
settle the Presidential que. .tion. The Demo-
Gratis have been In constant receipt Of encour-
aging deapatches also from Florida. South Caro-
lin 1. and Louisiana, and have steadfastly main
tanned that Iilden was elected beyond doubt.
They were at all times ready to back their belief
with their money, and many bets have been
m de. with odds largely on Tilden. Fully t50,OO0
have been bet here since TUESDAY niKht.
The returns from South Carolina leave no
question whatever that the result has been
largely adverse to Chamberlain. Still he con.
tlnues to telegraph that he Is elected by 5000
majority. That this Is simply monstrous lie Is
shown bv the fact that the official returns from
twenty-one counties give the Democrats such
enormous gains that. II the Hepubhcar mAJority
In the remainder Of the State Is unchanged from
1874 Chamberlain would be barel elected.
