work for tho season.

The remarkably favorable winter has
given an OPP ortunity for doing much use
full work in the way of Improvements Of
the farm. Draining, clearing land, repairs
of fences, drawing out manure, and SINH
lar labors, can now be performed as well,
If not better, than at any other season. II
is very rarely that a farm can be found in
a completed condition. On the contrary.
q majority of them contain swamps, bar
rem spots, unsightly stone heaps. or rocks,
stumps, gullies, or other distractions to
the plough or the moving machine.
Where the winter has been suffered to
pass away without an attempt to repair
these defects, Or remove these obstacles
to good farming, there is yet time and
opportunity to do something before the
spring work opens. Labor is cheaper
now than for years. Idle men who would
willingly work abound in every village
and hamlet, and it is to the farmers inter
est to give men employment whenever it
can be done proftably. II is only labor
that creates wealth. A useless piece Of
swamp is utterly worthless. It produces
nothing. When changed into meadow
and made productive, it then becomes an

addition to the farmers wealth, and adds
something to the aggregate capacity of
the land to support the population. The
greater the supply Of food, the more en-
couragement is given to an increase of
population. and every additional mouth
clamors for more farm products. I'm
productive land, besides being useless, is
IN addition source of expense in taxes
and interest on its cost; so that the owner
would really be better off could his use
less acres be sunk out of sight. There is
no reason why every acre of the majority
Of farms should not be made source Of
income, and many methods of turning
improbable land to account might be
pointed out. Swamps may be cleared
and ditched. The mere clearing Of the
dense growth of underbrush and weeds
from many swamps may be sufficient to
dry them enough for some sort Of cult
vation. But it is best to make thorough
Job OF whatever is undertaken, and as far
as work can be done, to finish it so far as
work can be done, TO finish it so far as it
is done. If the whole cannot be done
now let a part be completed, and the next
opportunity to be taken to finish another
party. Y. ISnaas.

THE WORLDS DOINGS.
ZINE IND CRIMINALS.

Serious rioting began at Blackburn, on
the 18th. Thousands OF the lowest class Of
operatives, including women, paraded the
streets, making violent demonstrations. The
residence Of Colonel Jackson, chairman Of the
masters association, was burned to the ground
The same mob attempted to burn Jackson's
mills. The residence of Alderman Horribly
was partially wrecked and the windows of all
the mills in the town demolished. A strong
force Of infantry from Preston arrived and a
troop of cavalry is now there. The troops
cleared the streets. Col. jackson and wife
barely escaped in a cab. Alderman Hornby
was struck by stones while demonstrating
with the rioters.
A horrible murder occurred at Bangor.
Me-, on the 18th inst, which will result in the
death Of three persons. John r. Scribner, Sc
years old, living three miles north of that
city, while insane attacked his wife and three
children in the kitchen Of his house with a
spade, instantly killing a girl three years old
and MORALLY woundng two others, girl in
FAINT and a boy aged five. After he struck the
children the mother snatched up the baby and
fled out Of doors, followed by her husband,
who ran through the field near by, where
he cut his own throat with razor, almost Sc
yer ng the wind pipe. He was arrested and
taken to jail. He was formerly druhkard,
but for two years has not tasted liquor. He
has shown SYMPTOMS of madness, threatening
to kill his wife and children, etc.
A strange romance of crime is narrated
at St. Louis Six years ago Julia Leblanc,
daughter of a farmer in jefferson county,
Missouri, mysteriously disappeared one eve
ming and was never again seen alive. Lately
a negro, while shooting snipe along the bank
Of the Mississippi river, near Point Pleasant,
twenty or thirty miles from the home Of
Leblanc, saw stray skif floating down the
stream, and on oyerhauling it found it to con-
tain female skeleton, which proved to be
that of the missing girl The theory is that
she was enticed from home by discarded
lover, strangled and placed in the skiff, which
was then securely fastened to the bank of a
creek at a place where the underbrush was
so thick as to effectually hide it; that there
the boat remained until the ravages of time
made the ropes decay and thus the leosened
| boat toated down the creek and into the Mis-
sissippi river.

HOUSE, FARM, GARDEN
Farm, ana Garden Notes.

We think it pays to spread the coal
ashes under the trees in the orchard.
Have place to put all the bones that
accumulate about the farm. They are
worth money, and can readily BE dis
solved by wood ashes and chamber I've
or be muriatic acid
Don't plant till the ground is 1T. AS
rule you gain nothing by premature
gardening. When the clods crumble
thoroughly under the pressure of your
foot, the ground is dry enough.
In cases OF caked udder in COWS foment
the affected part with hot water and rub
with the hand several times cay. Pro
per feeding and dry bed will, as rule
obviate the necessity of any treatment
for this complaint.
Do not cast aside the old favorites
sweet William, petunias, phlox, holly
hooks, lady slippers, verbenas, chrysan-
themums, Canterbury bells for any new
tangled flowers. There are many new
and desirable things in the floral world,
but it will not do to discard these old
jewels of the garden and .he lawn.
Potatoes flourish we'll in heavily ma
nured sod. The following is said to be
good formula for fertilizer for this
crop: Thirty pounds of wood ashes, thir-
ty pounds of air-slacked lime, twenty
poune.s OF fine salt, fifteen pounds Of
bone dust, fifteen pounds Of plaster;
the whole to be thoroughly mixed. An
ounce OF this compound in each hill Of
potatoes will tell good story at harvest
1ime.

The Uses of Millet.

NlllleC mas often Deen recommended as
a forage plant, for which it has special
advantages as 1t can be sown late in the
season when the other crops are out Of
the way. 1t may be successfully grown
upon land too wet for putting in oats or
other early spring crops, or it may be
sown on land after crop of barley or
grass has been gathered, and mature
sufficiently for forage. The common
millet will ripen SITS seed within sixty
days after sowing and it will then make
good hay, besides affording large GUAM
tity of seed valuable for poultry, or, if
ground. excellent to mix with corn or
other grain to feed to cattle and pigs. The
seed of millet is worth all the crop costs
to raise. leaving the hay for profit. AS
the crop can be put in and harvested at
seasons of the year when other work does
not press upon the farmers time, its Gull
ture is made easier. 1t is an excellent
crop to put upon a stubborn piece of
ground to kill out weeds, such as thistle,
dock, &C., for if the land is we'll plowed
and the surface made mellow, the millet
will soon shade it thoroughly and kill
out the foul stuff. A little manure on the
surface narrowed in with the seed will
often double the crop. Time should be
given to allow the seed to ripen before
frost. The crop may be run through a
threshing machine, or if bound up into
bundles, threshed with fails to seperatt
the seed. A half bushel of seed is abund-
ant for an acre.
The Golden or German millet is the
best for a forage plant and resembles
corn in its growth, as it throws out a
corn-like leaf. The stalk is also soft and
edible. This sort of millet requires
nearly Tho entire season to mature its
seed, and should. IN a northern latitude,
be sown by the first Of June. For forage
alone it may be put in the last of June
when it will make full growth of stalk
but not mature the seed. 1t requires
stronger land than the common to make
a vigorous growth. On rich land the
! amount OF forage is immense. Stock will
eat either of these grain-grasses with a
relish in winter and they are most ex-
cellent for change. For green feed
they are also good. AS Il supplementary
crop, when the meadows are light, millet
! is most valuable. A meadow with sim
prospect for hay might be turned over,
and be made to yield a satisfactory crop
by sowing to millet, and the same time
be fitted for a crop of grain the next year.
If the frost holds off: the seed will not
mature when the golden is so we'd late, as
it requires requisite degree Of heat
which is not afforded after September.
1t should always be cut before any frost
touches it, or its value for feeding will be
greatly injured. Like corn, it blanches
and dries off when frozen. The seed of
Hungarian grass is not equal to millet
for feeding stock. 1t is not much if any
better than that of our native summer
grass which it very much resembles.
The latter which is often plentiful in a
grain crop. is good for cattle if ground
up and mixed with bran or meal. Fed
alone it is too laxative.

CASUALTIES.

On the 9Th inst, a storm passed over
Memphis, partially unroofing a number of
business houses and the Peabody hotel, and
blowing down Meacham's cotton sheds. The
damage by wind and water is probably $4,000
A great tornado occurred at Canton,
China, April 18th. Thousands ofhouses were
destroyed or seriously injured by wind and an
enormous water spout from the river, which
broke over the city. Many lives were lost and
the foreign settlement suffered severely In
the midst Of the confusion four fires broke
out, supposed incendiary, as many robberies
followed. Later advices report 500 Chinese
killed. No foreigners were seriously hurt
7 At halt past nine o'clock on the morn

and the scales saved The engine is not sup
posed to be badly damaged. They lost six
thousand bushels Of wheat which. was not in

Improved devices for wholesale kill
ing are now regarded with much com
placency in England. A paper read to
the recent annual meeting Of naval archi-
tects described an apparatus for discharg-
ing 60 gallons Of crude petroleum upon
an ironclad in fifteen seconds, at a dis
lance Of three hundred feet, followed by
rocket cartridge to ignite it; and as one
gallon, judiciously spread overa hundred
square feet, would make that area unin-
habitable for ten minutes, this new ap-
paratus could evidently be made effect
i've. The use of crude petroleum for de-
stroying an enemys bridges or pontoons
was also urged. 1t is remarkable that
after having expended SO many millions
in building huge ironclads, England is
now mainly intent on the means of de-
stroying big ships by swarms Of torpedo
launches. The Russians have also order
ed about one hundred and fifty torpedo
launches. So we suddenly find the prob
lem of attack shifted from enormous
ironclads aud prodigious guns to the
small, swift craft, with its weapons Of
torpedoes and crude petroleum.

a special Constantinople telegram
states that in consequence Of the peremptory
demands of General Todelben for the surren-
der Of fortresses accompanied by a threat to
occupy Constantinople, the cabinet council
have decided to eyacuate all their fortresses,
Shumla first, then Vamat, lastly, Batoum. The
decision was taken rather suddenly, upon the
report of Osman Pasha that the Turkish army
was not in condition to resist the occupation
of Constantinople. The Times correspondent
at Constantinople says, as usual, the palace
was smitten with terror, and ready to cede
anything if the Russians would go away from
Constantinople. Gen. Todelben peremptorily
urged evacuation, but adroitly offered to fall
back if the fortresses were surrendered The
bait was swallowed and the Russians have
promised, SO my informant assures me, to re-
tire to AdrianOple and Dedragtch and quit
ErzerOum as soon as the three fortresses are
evacuated. The evacuation will begin at once.
There isftO be no written convention and all
were to be settled by verbal agreement.
