Wool Suggestions.

IL will always be best for a farmer
to produce wool Of one sort or anoth-
er. Wool that is neither one thing
nor the other-neither long nor short
will not usually command satisfac-
tory price so readily as if it were
either the wool clipped from Merino
sheep, or from the backs of some long
wool breed, An intelligent dealer in
wool assures us that dclaine wool
should be at least three inches in
length, and be a round, strong staple.
The practice of buying wool at an av-
erage price per pound, without re-
gard to its quality or condition, is
paying premium. for, and encourag-
ing, the growth of poor and dirty
wool, for grease and filth cost but
triile per pound, compared with choice
clean wool. Wool growers who raise
wool above the average, as to quality
and condition, can do better than to
sell it at an average price, by sending
it to reliable commission merchant,
where it will be sorted and sold ac-
cording to its merits. This is a safe
and satisfactory way to sell good
wool. 1t is not to be expected that
wool buyers will advise farmers to
thus dispose of their wool, for it de-
prives them of all the commission of
buying, besides some twelve cents per
pound extra, in addition for all the
delaine wool sorted out by them.

From the annual report OF Mr.. Ed
gar j. Dallas, Superintendent Of the
Dead Letter Office, some interesting
statistics are CLEANED to show the
amount of carelessness that exists
among letter writers Of this country.
The whole number OF letters received
at the Dead Letter Office during the
year ending June, 1877, was 1924 500,
which is 3i7, 94f less than the number
received the previous year. OF these
2,604, sS3 were merely ordinary letters
of no special Importance, about half
of which were returned TO the writers
or forwarded TO the persons for whom
they were intended. This is a reduc-
ton Of about 1000 from the number
received the previous year. There
All, 1865 letters received which were
properly addressed, but on which the
sender had neglected to place stamp.
The number of letters returned to the
United States from foreign countries
was l60,599, the persons to whom
they were addressed not having called
for them within ninety days, the time
allowed. The number of letters sent
10 the Dead Letter Office containing
money was 32,746, and the aggregate
amount contained ia them was $751;
957.4l. This is reduction from the
previous year, when there were re-
ceiyed 1852 letters, containing eur
rency TO the amount of So, 72l. Last
year owners were found for 30, SS4 let
ters, enclosing $37, 1852. The year pre-
yious the proportion was about the
same. The money is held in the
Dead Letter Office for one year,to the
credit of the writer, bat at the expi-
ration of that time it goes into the
United States Treasury. Nearly 81 :
100000 was found in 1891 letters, in
the shape of drafts. certificates of de-
post, bonds and other papers repre-
sentIng money. OF these, IL col let-
tiers, with enclosures valued at ST.
2O4, 405, were returned to their own
ers. There were POI ,356 letters came
In containing jewelry and other ar
ticlcs OF intrinsic value. Of these.
141, III were delivered to their writers
with enclosures. Over p, 600 letters
were found to contain photographs
and over $4,000 contained postage
stamps. A great proportion of these
were returned TO the writers or the
persons addressed.

Security Legs in Poultry.

Mr.. w. d. Tegemeier has the follow
ing in the London Field :
''Tbe character of the scurfy disease
affecting the legs of poultry, was
pointed out by me some few years
since, the discovery of the true cause
being due to Mr.. Moxon, TO whom l
gave some specimens for microscopic
examination, In az article III the
dmeyicaa Agrtculturist for August,
1877, it is stated that the disease
which affects the legs of fowls is due
to small insect, which is somewhat
similar to that which causes scab in
sheep. 1t is roundish- and SEMI
transparent, about Que eight hun
dreath of an inch in length. The
writer states: If the scales from the
leg OF deceased fowl are examined
beneath the microscope, 4 number Of
these may be found beneath them.
Beneath the.scales there are spongy,
scabby growths, in which the eggs
and pupe of the mites are to be seen
in great numbers.
"'The pupa are very similar in
shape to the mature mites, but are
very much smaller. The disease, be-
ing Of similar character to the scab
in sheep, or the mango II dogs or cat
tie, may be cured by the same treat
ment. We have cured fowls of the
disease By applying TO the legs mix
ture of lard with one-twentieth part
Of carbolic acid. This should be ap-
piled with stiff brush, BIZ which the
mcdicated grease can be applied thor
oughly to the crcviccs between the
scales. y mixture of equal parts of
sweet oil and parlfin will be equally
as effective as the carbolic acid mkt
ure. The remedy being so simple, it
Will be inexcusable if this disagree
able affection is suffered to remain, as
when one fowl is troubled with it, it
will certainly spread to the other
fowls. If precautions were generally
used the parasite could soon be ex-
terminated, and scurfy legs should be
made disqualification at poultry
shows
'ln my own experience | have found
a somewhat different treatment per-
fectly eflicacious. | first soften the
scales by holding the legs of the bird
for few minutes in warm soapy wa
ter, and then apply with small stiff
brush mixture OF one part carbolic
acid, five of glycerine and of water,
brushing it well into the spongy mass
cs beneath the scales. A few daily
applications are etlectual,"

A Word Of Advice to Farmers.

A careful examination of our ex-
changes, both agricultural and COM
mercial, brings US to the conclusion
that considerable advance in the grain
market cannot be far distant. The
crops throughout Europe, and partic-
ularly in the wheat sections of the
Black Sea, have been remarkably light.
Drouths have been particularly disas-
astrous, and in many European wheat
centers the products have been barely
nominal. England and Germany will
want grains of all kinds. There is no
immediate prospect of the Turko-
Russian war closing, The demand
upon the United States for the vari-
Gus cereals will cause large shipments
abroad. Hence our farmers will find
the caution we have heretofore ad-
vised in regard to rushing grain to
market, particularly appropriate at
the present juncture. We say, there
fore, stand by for rise. Meanwhile
we congratulate the farmer upon the
suspicious prospects for remunera-
ton of his labors. The reports from
all sections are highly encouraging.
The cotton, rice and sugar crops at
the south are exceptionally fine. In
the west there will be fully one hun
dred million bushels of wheat more
than last year, and the corn crop
promises far above the average. The
Atlantic sections have been unusually
favored, and the yield there is musu-
al and astonishing. In regard to the
products of the Cumberland Valley,
we are proud 10 say, that il holds its
usual undisputed prominence

President Lincoln as an Anti-Slavery Man.

Mr.. Lincoln was always an anti-sla-
very man; but, as have said, was
never a political Abolitionist. Events
and was necessity compelled him to
adopt the policy Of emancipation, for
which he has received and deserved
merited honors f; but those who APP
plaud his course in that respect omit
to mention that colonization and de-
portation of the slaves when set free
was deemed by him an essential part
of his emancipation policy. Whether
right or wrong on that subject it is not
necessary to discuss, but the truth
need not be suppressed. lie believed
it would be best for both the whites
and blacks that the latter sheuld leave
the country, or, as he expressed it in
his interview with the colored repre-
sentatives, ''it is better for us both to
be separated" Knowing his convio-
tions and earnest solicitude on this
branch of his policy, have sometimes
doubted whether he would not have
hesitated longer in issuing the decree
of emancipation had he been aware
that colonization would not be accept
ed as an accompaniment Gideon

Several hypothesis have been adj
vanced to explain the reddish color
which characterizes the bright parts
of the planets disk. Mr.. Higgins
comes to the conclusion that this pc
culiarity is not due to the planets at
mosphere. Indeed, Arago has called
attention to the fact that upon this
hypothesis the redness should be moro
decided at the borders of the planet
than in the central portions, since the
luminous.rays traverse greater thick
ness of atmosphere, and traverse it
more obliquely, in the regions near tho
limb, when the contrary effect is OBJ
served. 1t has also been remarked
that this hypothesis does not explain
why the red tint is not general. Mr..
Lockyer has suggested that the color
may depend upon the cloudy state of
the pla net, and the spectroscope gives
considerable support to this hypothe-
sis. In 1862 the planet was clearer of
clouds and more rudy than in 1864.
The explanation of this is that when
Mars is clouded the light reflected by
the clouds undergoes less absorption
than that reflected by the planet itself.
The spcctroscopc indicated this in
creased absorption on one occasion by
showing that the reflected sunlight
was without large portion of the
blue rays.
Lambert has attempted to explain
the rudy color of the spots, and their
disappearance or indistinctness during
the Martial winter, by the hypothesis
that the vegetation on the planet is red
instead of green. Hence, in the Mar
tial summer the surface has rudy
appearance, which disappears in win
ter. AS Mr.. Proctor remarks, if this
hypothesis were true, the rapid changes
of color which have been noted by ma
ny observers, would indicate the sud-
den blooming forth of Martial vegeta-
ton over hundreds of square miles of
the planets surface. Finally. we. have
the hypothesis, first advanced, We be-
love, by Herschel-and still accepted
as the best explanation of the phenom-
enon by many astronomers-that the
red color is due to the character of the
planets soil.-Charles W. Raymond,

1t seems hardly worth while to take any notice
Of a scurrilous letter which appeared in the San
francisco Chronicle recently on persons and things
Hawaiian but we may remark that the journal in
question lacks good taste, as the publication OF
this letter evinces. No editor of good taste would
insert in the columns of his journal such q gross
calumny on two of the highest ladies Of this or
any other country. The writer of the letter states
with lying earontery Qor he was not of the party)
that those exalted ladies during their recent tours
ON the Islands allowed indecent dances to be ner-
formed before them. Such a falsehood deserves to
be contradicted, if for the sake only of readers
abroad and those here who are ignorant of the ma
tive language. That dancing sometimes formed
part of the amusementso of the evening, while those
exalted ladies were making their insular tours. is
quite true, but to assert that the Princess Heir
Apparent and Queen Dowager of this Kingdom
countenanced indecent dances is really libellous.
Are we to suppose that the San Francisco folk are
so gullable as to swollow those calumnies of the
Chronicles correspondent as a true picture of our
Hawaiian morals: The term hula, as every body
knows here, simply expresses our word " dance,
and conveys of itself no indecent meaning what
ever. 1t is always accompanied with a mele or oil
of-chant-which is generally q legend of olden
times. embodying the history and exploits of some
Sulei uO mOIe necessarily Indecent lnan the lllad
of Homer. That there have been indecent dances
here, as in other countries, no one denies /; but no
dances, it is superfuous to say, have ever
been exhibited before the two Royal ladies, upon
spotless regulations the Chronicles CORE
s%pondent pours out his slanderous venom. We
recall a case omewhat similar, which took place
in British India, some years ago. The term match,
like hula. means a dance, and some of The Indian
matches. like some hulaS, are not very modest.
But some of the Indian matches are really magni-
icent, representing dramas and historic subjects,
md are oftentimes got up by the native Rajas at
great expense. Some OF these matches are equal
% any European scenic displays. In British
india. however, an ignorant prejudice prevailed
against the match. and it was thought u%nbecoming
n British ladies 10 be present at such an enter

tainment. The Viceroy, Lord Lawrence. had two
daughters, still in their teens. who felt great Curl
osity to see an Indian match and Lord Lawrence,
knowing that many of the Indian matches were a
most innocent and entertaining pastime, took the
two young ladies to a grand match given expressly
by a Calcutta Baboo, on a most magnificent scale,
in order to crafty the young ladies' curiosity. 1t
is needless to say that no indecent dances were
performed on the occasion. Nevertheless, the
Anglo-Indian Press. with a notable exception or
two, teemed with attacks upon the Viceroy for
patronising the q immoral Indian match" and
bringing his innocent daughters" to such a
d" scandalous performance" but, of course, Lord
Lawrence and the young ladies laughed heartily
at such Ignorant remarks. The Chronicles SANDERS
are OF the same description, and the two exalted
ladies In question may well be amused at such
Ignorant nonsense, like the gentle daughters of
Lord Lawrence the lste Indian VicerOy. The cir
cumstance of TIE 8atch in question took place in
1866. ~
