journalism in France isno mushroom
institution; it can boast a pedigree of
nearly two hundred and fifty years. The
first French newspaper was the Gazette,
which appeared in 1881. During the
wars of the Fronde there circulated in
Paris fifty two newspapers. In 1888
there appeared an advertising sheet
called the BureauG Addresses. The follow
ing specimen of contents will show that
human life then was much the same as
it is at present: "Seigneurial lands to
sell houses in Paris to sell or hire ;rentes
to sell offices to sell furni ture to SELL"
etc. In 1872 the Mercure Gallant bad a
great success, and lasted nearly one hun
dred years. According to a return made
by order of Napoleon |, there circulated,
during his reign in Paris, two English
newspapers, one the Argus, which boosted
one hundred and forty three subscrib:
ers, and the Bel Messenger, which had
only sixteen subscribers.

The West,

Unofficial but trustworthy information
from Fort Walsh confirms the recent story
of a large confederation of hostile Indians
in that vicinity. Sitting Bull and Spotted
Eagle have been reinforced by lodges from
the Missouri River Agencies, including Red
Clouds, and it is now estimated that there
are from five to seven thousand warriors
within one hundred miles of Fort Walsh.
Some of these bands have been seen by
Miles scouts. The savages are very restless,
and are under the constant surveillance of
the too limited force of Canadian mounted
police, who evidently anticipate trouble. At
a council, the last week in February, the
Indians resolved to resist the Buffalo Law
and Sitting Bull counseled moderation to,
ward the Canadians, but breathed defiance
against the Americans. The force is well
armed and ~splendidly equipped, and could
probably be augmented to ten thousand
men, in which case a vigorous summer cam
paign would be probable.

line as flour by pounding in a mortar, it
could be extracted SO much better as to
require no more than two-ffths as much
as it it were only coarsely ground. An
equally strong extract can be made by
allowing water to stand on the grounds,
as by giving it a boil or by fltering
through it. The latter method is the
true one for retaining all of the aroma.
When coffee beans are roasted, an en-
pneumatic oil is produced, which being
very volatile, is expelled if the coffee
extract be boiled. 1t is better to make
the grounds as fine as -four, and to ex-
tract by filtration, and never to boil.
A WRITER in some late agricultural
journal thinks he has found out the
secret of making hens lay in winter. He
bought a lot of corn that had been
damaged by fire and fed it to his hens.
He found that they had laid wonderfully
well all winter. Upon this hint he has
since acted, and has found no difficulty
in securing plenty of eggs in winter
keeping his fowls in good warm quar-
tiers, and feeding them largely with
roasted or parched grain, principally
corn. This is al easy and simple receipt
which every fowl-keeper can follow.
| When eggs have risen from twenty to
forty cents per dozen, it seems worth
while to make considerable effort to
have a few dozen eggs to put on the
market. 1t costs no more to keep fowls
when their eggs sell for forty cents a
dozen than when they sold for eighteen,
and we can all see that at this point the
profit comes in. Whatever is done at
all is worth doing well, whether it be in
producing thoroughbred stock, Clauson
wheat, fruit or eggs.-Columbia Re

ACCORDING to Hausner, fruit, al be
preserved perfectly for any length Of
time by being placed in suitable vessels
and covered by a solution of salicylie
acid, the top of. the vessel to be closed
by a glass stopper, parchment, rubber,
or other suitable substance. 1t is
claimed that not the slightest taste Of
the acid is impaired to the fruit, which
retains indefinitely its natural flavor,
In some cases there is thought to be 9
slight loss of sweetness in the fruit.
This is remedied, however, by the add.
ton of a moderate quantity of sugar tc
the salicylic solution. The solution it
self is prepared by adding the acid to
water in the proportion Of one-third Of
an ounce to the quart, boiling in IN en-.
ameled or porcelain pot, and or its
clearing and settling, ~decanting the
clear solution from the residuum. The
solution is used cold, and what remains
from the boiling can be used to prepare
additional quantities of the solution
Where fruit is to be preserved in sugar
as in the ordinary process, the addition
of a small quantity of the salicylic acid
will prevent any danger of souring Oh
fermentation.

duces canker, the worst form and stage
the disease can present. 1t always affects
the head, eyes and throat in particular.
The combs, wattles and faces of hens
and cocks turn to a dark purple, with a
continual sneezing OF cough, caused by
a C instant irritation of the throat. This
phase might be called catarrh, and is in
reality; but the cause and name of the
disease is roup. 1t is not contagious,
but fowls submitted to the same treat
ment and situation would be alike affec-
ted. 1t is caused by a sudden cold.
Fowls that are confined in warm quar-
tiers are more liable to it if subjected to
a draft of cold air during the night. 1t
is a draft that causes tia draft on
some n exposed portion of the body
while the other is exempt from the ex-
posture. A slight crack, not more than
the twelfth part of an inch, will do
much damage by admitting a slender
current of outside air unmolliied by
the warmth within. A bird that has the
roup is not suitable to breed from, as
many of the chicks would be liable to
ATTACKS from it, and if not, would other
wise be weakened, being the progeny of
diseased parents. A bird that is
diseased, no matter how fine the points,
should not be allowed to reproduce, as
weakly birds engender diseases, and are
apt to fall victims 10 roup, cold and

NEWS SUMMARY.
WashInGton.

Senator Thurman presented the resolu-
ton of the Ohio State Grange of Patrons of
Husbandry, adopted at the meeting at
Gallon, requesting the Ohio Congressman to
use all honorable means to prevent any re-
duction of the duties on wool or wooden
goods. The preamble ~recites that the ex-
listing wooltariff has been on trial for nearly
eleven years, and under its operation sheep
breeding and wooLgrowing have been profit
ably extended into every State and Terri
tory Of the American Union, and it has
proved alike beneficial and satisfactory to
the farmer, wooden manufacturer and con
sumner, and afforded the latter cheaper
wooden goods than at any former period.

Fire Record,

A disastrous fire occurred in Philadelphia
on the 25th of March. 1t broke out at
night in the third floor of the paint and
drug warehouse of W. H. Wampole & Co.,
on Fourth-street, above Arch. There was
a strong wind blowing, and the fire rapidly
spread in all directions, soon becoming one
of the. most disastrous CONGREGATIONS that
ever visited that city. The flames rapidly
spread in every direction. About thirty
houses, in all, were more or less damaged by
fire oil. water, and the total loss thought to
be about S ,000,0 900.

Deep Plowing.-The depth of plow-
ing must depend on the character Of the
soil, its fertility, the crops to be raised,
and other circumstances. A stubble
field may be plowed deeply, but not a
sod field. Plants are benefited by a
deep, ~permeable soil, through which
their roots can strike in search of food.
For general crops the depth of soil may
be gradually increased to twelve inches
with great advantage. For gardens and
horticultural purposes it may be deep
ened to fifteen or even eighteen inches
with profit. The entire depth of the
soil should be brought up by the pillow,
and what is beyond the reach of the
pillow should be thoroughly broken up by
the subsoil pillow, and some of it oc-
casionally mixed with that upon the sur
face. This should only be done, how
ever, in small quantities. 1t should
then be exposed to the action of the
atmosphere during the fail, winter and
spring, Dr. in a summer fallow, after
which it should be MANFRED for the
forthcoming crop. If the soil is too
shallow. it should be gradually deep
ened by the use of proper materials for
its improvement. When two Indifferent
soils, as a stiff clay and sliding sand, oc-
cupy the relation of soil and sub-soil
toward each other, they should be thor
oughly mixed by deep blowing, and
then subjected to cultivation, when
they will frequently produce a soil of
great value. At the North, clay lands
