NAPOLEON /, ON RUSSIA

Now that the Turko-Russian war
is raging and all eyes are turned to
Constantinople, the bone of contention
of Europe, it may be OF interest to
quote an opinion given by Napoleon,
at st. Helena, in 1917, to his surgeon.
Berry O'Meara. The following ex-
tract may be found in the second vol
ume, hfty-first and fiffy-second pages,
of work written by Mr.. O'Meara,
entitled Napoleon in Exile and
published in Boston in lS23;-s.In the
course Of d few years, added he,
PRUSSIA will have Constantinople, the
greatest part of Turkey, and all
Greece. This hold to be as certain
as If it had already taken place. AL
most all the caioling and fattering
which Alexander practised towards
me was to gain nay consent to effect
this object. / would not consent,
foreseeing that the equilibrium of
Europe would be destroyed. In the
natural course Of things, in few
years Turkey must fall to Russia.
The Powers it would injure. and who
could oppose it, are England. France,
Prussia, and Austria. Now, as to
Austria, it would be very easy for
Russia to engage her assistance by
giving her Seryia and other provinces
bordering on the Austrian dominions,
reaching near tS COnStantinOple
The only hypothesis that France and
England may ever be allied with sin
cerity will be in order to prevent this.
But even this alliance viii not avail
France, England, and Prussia united
cannot prevent it. Russia and Aus
tria can at any time effect it. Once
mistress OF Constantinople, Russia
gets all the commerce ofthe Mediter-
ranean, becomes a great naval power,
and heaven knows what may happen.
She quarreis with you, marches off to
India an army of 10 900 good soldiers,
which to Russia is nothing, and l00.-
600 cannaile, Cossacks ami others,
and England loses India. Above all
Powers, Russia is most to be feared,
especially by YOU. Her soldiers are

1t seems a long time, but it is true
Just think ofit-nine months without
drink of intoxicants. Our hatred
for the poison grows greater every
|day. We get up in the morning feel

salt in our mouth, no craving for a
drink of Whiskey--a clear head, an
appetite for breakfast, happy and
cOntented feeling is ours. We look
back and see nine months of a sober,
happy life and begin to feel that we
are learning how to enjoy life. We
look back beyond nine months and see
nearly seven years of dissipated life,
the last four years of which we would
not live over again under any consid-

Heaven we would sooner die than
live those four years over again. Just

doing us an injury, but felt that we

When we became not afraid to die
we made an iron bound determination

HOW FARMING PAYS.

Farming does not always pay, says the
York, Pa, Dispatch; SONS farms never
pay, others always give good crops, and
will pay at any price paid for the crops.
Much depends on the farming, and the
condition Of the soil. We have previously
made reference to the importance of feed
ing grain to cattle and selling the beef in
stead of grain, and making plenty of ma
nure to enrich the soil. We learn that
Mr.. Edward Smyser has not had failure
Of his wheat crop for the past nineteen
years. on the p. A. & S. Small farm.
They have raised every year from 1900 to
5000 bushels of wheat on that farm, and
corn and hay in proportion. We have
been shown one account book Of the year
1866, where As acre field yielded 1876
bushels Of white wheat, and 422 bushels
of red wheat; in all, 120s bushels. Wheat
then was high, aud the quality was so SUI
perior that some of it sold for seed, as high
as 1915 per bushel, and the total amour
ted to S4l03. Besides this they had
another field Of wheat just as large on the
same farm, of which we did not learn the
sum realized This farm at that time had
$50 acres; it now has 32S acres by addi-
tional purchases The great secret Of
success on this farm has been in the ma
nuEe they make By cattle feeding, and one
special secret they claim, is, they feed
bran with their corn chop, claiming that
if you would raise wheat largely from the
soil, you must replace the wheat making
elements in the soil, and that they are to
be found in greatest abundance in the
wheat itself, and the manure made from
cattle fed with It. It is fact noted that
farmers feeding corn alone do not raise
the same large crop of wheat. Farmers
should try the experiment in growing
wheat.

VALUE or POULTRY MANURE.-From
actual experiment, we found that droppings
from four Brahmas, for one night, weighed
in one case, exactly one pound; and 10 an
other more than three-quarters, an aver
age of nearly four ounces to each bird
BY drying, this was reduced to not quite
] z ounces. Other breeds make less; but
allowing l ounce per bird daily, of dry
manure, fifty fowls will make in their
roosting house alone, about 10 ewt. PEI
annum Of the best manure in the world.
Hence, fifty good fowls viii make more
than enough manure for an acre OF land,
Z ewt. being the usual quantity applied
per acre, and poultry manure being even
richer than guano in ammonia and fertil-
izing salts. The other stock win give an
actual return in this way, and these figures
demand careful attention from the large
farmer The manure, before using, should
be mixed with twice its bulk of earth, and
then allowed to stand in a heap covered
with few inches Of earth, till deeomposed
throughout, when il makes the very best
manure that can be had.-AmericaR

SALT FOR Corn GRUB.-The corn crop
has several formidable enemies to contend
with, and among them is the white grub,
which sometimes literally destroys whole
fields, or damages the crop seriously.
One of the best and most convenient rem
edics is the application Of salt as soon as
the plant makes its appearance above
ground, prepared and used in this way.
Take one part common salt and three parts
of plaster of gypsum, and apply about q
tablespoonful around each hill. 1t viii
be found to be sure protection. The
mixture should not come in contact with
the young plants, as it may destroy them.
This method has been tried over and over
again by some of the best farmers of
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey, and
when properly applied has never failed to
be perfectly successful, We hope our
farmers, who have reason to fear the dep
rotations of the grub, the present season,
will try this mixture, leaving a few alter
nate rows Of corn without the salt, and
communicate to Us the result. The appli-
cation also acts as frst-rate fertilizer,
and will more than pay for itself in bene-
fitting the crop.

Rye will be good hay if cut when the
grain is well formed and not ripe or ripen-
ing The oat plant is even better, more
nourishing and strengthening. Rye is
sOwn in August for pasture in the early
winter months. 1t is sown in September
and as late as October for early summer
soiling, and may be cut and saved as hay.
Whether sOwn for pasture, soiling or hay,
1t may be considered as "a stolen crop"
succeeding the regular crop of one season
aud preceding the crop of the following
season. II is very profitable, giving a
heavy crop of valuable food for stock when
most needed. In Europe rye forms 70
ineonsiderable part of the breadstuffs of
the northern nations When mixed with
wheat, it makes good bread, wholesome,
highly nutritious and Strengthening, espe-
eially for hard working men.
