REMEDY FOR CEREAL DISEASES

with respect to smut, the prevention of
that disease by picking the seed seemed so
well recognized by all that very little evi>
deDce was taken as to its nature and cause
all the evidence being directed to the best
agents to be used tor picking. Dr.
Mcucke, who has had considerable exner;.
ence of the disease in agricultural districts
considered that instead of the usual picklo of.
bluestone, sulphate of iron should be used
at strength of four ounces to the busbel
dissolved IN hot water, the water to flow
half foot over the wheat. Mr.. Ey, ana
!yticai chemist, recommended the seed to
be STEPPED in sulpharic ACID, then orlcn In
sieve and busted over with fresh or quick.
lime. A coating of sulphate of lime is
thus formed over the seed, which will pro-
tcct it in the soil. From the evidence of
the practical witnesses, blucstone appeared
to be most generally in use as pickle; but
all appeared to be Of opinion that it had a
tendency to weaken, the plant unless the So
luton was supplied very weak. Several
had tried sulphur and quicklme. with more
or less success but, on the other hand all
the scientific witnesses were of the opinion
that unless dissolved, as in the form of sui
phurlc acid, sulphur would be almost value
less as pickle. All the practical men con-
Cured in the opinion that the addition of
quicklime to the seed after the application
OF the pickle was of very great advantage.
On the question as to the length of time
the seed should remain in the pickle, it was
given III evidence that it was the practice
with many farmers to let it remain in soak
only few minutes, in most instances never
exceeding two hours. The chemical wit
nesses, on the ccntray, considered that moth
ing less than eight or ten hours according
to the state of the weather, would be suf-
hcient. DR.. Meucke said eight, if the
weather be wet, and twelve if dry

PLEASANT FOR HARD DRINKERS The
Louisville Courier Journal, which is pub
ilshed in State where whiskcy ought to
be good, if anywhere, confirms the state
ment that probably nine hundred and
ninety-nine gallons out Of every thousand
that are sold as brandy are made from
vile compound of whiskey swill, distilled
spirits an6 chemical denominations, and adds:
."And as it is equally true of whiskey, what
in the name of goodness are we all to do
Tor something to drink? 1t looks as if we
are to be'driven to the pump in spite of us.
If the world at large knew of what villain
oas stuffs brandy and whskey and wines
are made of, the present crop OF drunkards
would be about the last-or, at any rate,
all future crops would be small Nearly
all, or quite all, the liquors that are relailcd
nowadays are undoubtedly slow but sure
poison, and to drink them habitually is
simply roundabout way of committing
suicide, and unless you guard yourself care
fully, the way is not very roundabout either.

GRASS, CLOVER, TURF.-The Great and
Good once told the young man, feed my
sheep, and repeated it the third time.
The English statesman, the third time,
said to the young student, who wished to
develop eloquence, "action, action, action"
Three times, Daniel Webster said, read
the Dictionary" to the young aspirant for
legal fame.
So, the maryland Farmer urges, and has
urged, that the farmer who would make his
land fertile, and keep it so, that he should
make twf, grow cloper and grass; and
when he has got turf he can make grain, l.,
or any other crop; a good sod of clover or
grass, or both, plowed under, makes a soil
that will grow all others.
Undoubtedly, it is better to SOW timothy
or other grasses with fine, narrow leaves, in
the faH-Septembcr or October-as they
need time to get sufficient growth to stand
the winter and hot sun and an application
of five to eight bushels of plaster to the
acre, and 100 to 800 pounds of bone to the
acfe, to be narrowed nat the time Of seed
ing, will give benefits much more than tho
cost: and later in tho fall FIVE to ten bush
els of common salt will also pay.
But We; believe that it is better to SOW
c!ouer early in the spring, followed up with
plaster and bone, or other phosphate fertil.
tiers.
4 And in both cases, fall or spring sowing,
there is great benefit in sowing plaster inn.
mediately after the grain is harvested, and
after the first moving. - Maryland Farmer.

CLEANING THE HEN-HoUsE.-If the
careful poulterer will look to the under por-
tions of his perches, and as faithfully apply
the saturated kerosene brush to this part of
the premises as he does to the top and sides
and crevices, once in a while, he will find
1t profitable for the removal of vcrmin.
Lice brood and breed aud live under the
.reosts, in great numbers. In the day time
they are thus partially secreted. In tho

roosts. these millions of parasites crawl up,
and nestle themselves comfortably among
the birds soft feathers-where they sub.
sequently stick to their new warm quarters
until they are carbolated or sulphured on,

BLUNT BUT TRUE-There is said to be
young man in the Missouri penitentiary
whose parents at their death, left him a
fortune of $4,000. There is where his
parents made a fatal mistake If they had
taken the prccaution to invest that sum in
small dog, and shot him, and then had
simply left the young man jack plane or a
wood saw, with printed instructions how to
use it, the chances are, that instead of be-
ing in the penitentiary, he would to-day
have been gradually but surely working his
way into handsome con. potency and an
hcn":ah!c o!i age. Dut ever since the DAYS
OF Adam, and Eve, parents havo made i.-e
point to toll and struggle all thoir lives in
order to realize sufficient sum of money
to purchase, when they are dead and gone,
their sons each a first class through ticket
to the devil, and it is not much to be won
dcrcd at that so many of their sons, reared
in vice and idleness, as too many of them
often are, have 10 higher ambition than to
invest their inheritance in just that sort of
transportation.

4 Financially. the farmer is the safest man
iin the country. OF elessh 'handred, and
twelve bankrupts in Massachusetts,, only
fourteen were farmers, and yet the farming
community numbers full half tho popula-
tion. The people must live, and while the
use of luxuries may be diminished by hard
times, there always will be call for the pro-
duce Of the farm. Farming has, of course
felt the general depression in business.

in California? If his quarters are
filthy, why does not the health
board, or why do not the city au-
thorities, attend to their duties?
We ask these questions, not be-
cause we suppose they decide any
thing, but because, in our igno-
rance, we would like to know. In
the East, the prejudice against OH
heather brother John in California
seems a little unreasonable, and we
want more light. We have been in
the habit of welcoming all other
nationalities. We are strangely in
sensitive to the importation of
thousands Of criminals and scamps
and scalawags from Europe, and
we cannot yet feel sure that the
importation of the Ohinaman is not
better thing, on the whole. He
certainly is industrious, he minds
his own business, and, so far as We
have seen him here, he does au
honest days work, which is more
than can be said of a good many
Christian laborers whom we have
around us. OF one thing, at least,
we are sure. No people can hold
large body Of men in contempt,
and regard them with hatred, and
treat them like beasts, without de-
moralizing themselves. The thing
has been tried, aud tried in this
country, too. The Californians
cannot afford to have the Chinaman
with them, unless they can treat
him like man. They must either
do this, or the Chinaman must go.
TO hold fellow-man in fixed CON
tempt, to spit upon him unrebuked,
simply because he is of another
race, or is supposed, in the compe-
titions Of life, to interfere with
ones prosperity, is simply to lapse
from Christianity into barbarism.
And that, in it's own time, will pro-
duce results in which the Chinese
will not be interested, except as
Observers DR.. J. G. Holland.

PreatyorH Not.

To be pretty is the great object
Of almost every living woman, even
those who lecture upon the impro-
priety of doing so.
Beautiful women spend a great
deal Of thought upon their own
charms, and homely women grow
homely through fretting, because
they are not handsome.
Men, lat least while they are young,
are very much like women in this
respect, though their hide they feel
ings better.
There is one comfort to the home
ly ones, however.
After you come to know people
very intimately, you do not know
whether they are pretty or not.
Their "ways" make an impression
on you, but not their noses and
ears, their eyes and mouths.
In time the soul expresses itself
to you, and it is that which you see.
A man who has been married
twenty years scarcely knows what
his wife looks like.
He may declare that he does, and
tell you that she is a bewitching
little blonde, with soft blue eyes,
long after she is red and forty /;
because the image Of his early love
is in his heart, and he does not see
her as she is to-day, but as she was
when he courted her.
Or, being an Indifferent husband,
he may not know that she is the
fine woman that other people think
her.
You have known men who have
married the plainest women, and
think them beauties, and you know
beauties who are quite thrown away
on men who value a wife for her
success as a cook.
As Ear as ones effect on strangers
is to be taken into consideration,
beauty is valuable and very valu-
able.
So, if you have it, rejoice; but if
you have it not, be content.
Take care of your heart, your
mind, and your manners, and you
will make for yourself that beauty
which will render you lovely to
those who are nearest and dearest
to YOU.

HUNTING HIS nOME

The Experience OF Young MN
who Was stolen by Ghe Indians
TweEty.FOur Years Ago.
Omaha Herald
A dark, swarthy looking indi-
yidual, dressed in semi-Indian garb,
was at the Unicn depot yesterday
making numerous inquiries in very
imperfect English dialect concern
ing the name of G. G. Gaskill, who
left some portion of Eastern Iowa
for an overland trip to California
during the gold excitement of 1851.
This half-wild fellow claimed that
he was the son of this Gaskill, and
that he was about five or six years
Did when his father set out with
his family for the overland wagon
trip to California.
The family, two years later, were
in Arizona, and one night the
Apache indians made an attack
upon them and carried him away,
while the Others made their escape.
Mr.. Gaskill has a very vivid recol-
lection of the battle, and also the
long wagon trip from Iowa, while
he has little or no recollection of
the home or just where it was loca-
ted. He was carried away by the
Indians and lived with them, shar-
ing the same neglect and attention
as their own children, until he grew
to manhood. He describes his life
as being pleasant and one that he
fully enjoyed. He became ac-
quainted with the great chief Co.
chise, aud followed him in many
Of his battles. He painted, tattooed,
and besmearcd his skin like the
sayages themselves, until now
it has the same coppery color.
He describes Cochise as being a
great warrior and a most wonderful
savage. He remained with these
Indians until about six years ago,
when he was captured by the Co.
manches in one Of their battles
with the Apaches, and with them
be led a wandering existence, first
as a captive and afterward as one of
the tribe. Last fall he became tired
Of such a mode of existence and
left the tribe, and making his way
toward the Pacific coast made in
quiries concerning bis family, but
failed to learn anything of them.
In his wandering, nomadic life lie
had accumulated considerable
wealth in the form of gold dust,
and on the proceeds of this he was
travelling in search of his lost home
and friends.
No one seemed to be able TO give
him any information, and he start
ed on his way east to prosecute his
search in Iowa.
