GnrlhnIdi,s domestic TROUBLES.

The old man, says a correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Bulletin, feels his quasi
Punishment deeply, and he feels equally
the injustice shown him on the subject
of his unfortunate marriage, which he is
seeking to have annulled, and which
would be anmlled were lie any other
man than Garibaldi. You know the
story. He marries a young girl whom
he thinks pure. She has loved and lovea
another; hut she marries Garibaldi, who
was then star, hero. Nor is this all
she is mother, and even after her mar
rage, continues her love for the father Of
her child. She dishonors Garbaldi's
name in every way, and Garibaldi cam
not obtain an annulment of this mar
riage, whereas any other man in Italy
would have obtained it long ago The
old General, consequently, is not in a
very pleasant mood just now. Victor
Hugo, it seems, knows this, for he has
invited him to renounce his nationality
and turn French, since Nice, his native
town, is French. By this means he
would be free from his wife, who detests
even his name, and his present position
would be legitimized and his children
also. But it is not likely that he will
accept this means of freeing himself,
however dear this freedom may be to
him. We are, however, watching the
result OF Victor Hugo's proposition with
some interest.

Several Mexicans were in camp at the
mouth of Memphis Creek, U. T., and
were living about the fire when one OF
them, Tclestro Cruca, saw a large cent?
pede, fully nine inches long, travelling
slowly over his leg. knowing that the
least motion would make it sink its
claws into his skin, without moving
his leg he got out his revolver and waited
until the insect had almost reached his
knee, when, slowly putting the mouth
of the pistol to its head, he pulled the
trigger and the centlpcde Was gone.
But a centipcde's claws are quicker
than gunpowder and Cruca began to
cramp in few minutes, the track of the
insect along his leg turned brownish
yellow and the place where it was
killed swelled up frightfully. Cruca
rapidly grew worse and in a little over
four hours afterward he died in great
agony. But the most singular part of
the story is that the bullet from Cruea $
revolver cut small nick in the fore leg
of a mule that was tethered near by and
at daylight the next morning the mule
was also dead, with the lee so swollen
that the skin had burst in several
places

The question of the use of cotton seed
meal as fertilizer is an important one to
the planting interests of the South, and
opinions differ as to its value as a special
fertilizer, and why? Because we do not
know "what are the mutual chemical
and physical reactions of the various
kinds of soil on the different fertilizing
materials in general use" Where soils
are rich in available mineral plant food
and poor in nitrogen, then the use of
cotton seed meal will prove of marked
benefit
Where the soils are deficient in phos-
pilates and potash, then if persisted in,
the application of cotton seed alone will
prove injurious. The reason is obvious,
AZ the meal contains about eight per
cent. nitrogen, and only three and three
quarters per cent. phosphate acid, and
two per cent. potash. From the above
it win be seen that cotton seed meal acts
as stimulant and frequently produces
large canes poor in sugar. At other
times it yields very remunerative crops
The advice of celebrated chemist is,
compost cotton seed meal with finely
ground bones, potash and dry mould.
Allow it to remain for about two months
and then apply to the soil, thereby adj
ding the most important elements Of
food in the most available form.

Advantages of Liberal Feeding.

The National Live Stock. Journal says:
4" If the sheep breeders faith in the eff
ficacy of liberality in the matter of feed
ing begins to falter, walk through the
pens of frst-class fair, and converse
ton with few of the more successful
breeders, will serve to dispel such doubts
as sure as the morning sun scatters the
mists from the mountain side. Size, SYM
metry, vigor, precocity and prolificacy
depend for their perfect development
upon the well-flled granary and richly
clothed pasture of the husbandman as
surely as these and other attributes of
perfection are influenced by the breed
er's art. Not alone in the sheep depart
ment is this apparent. 1t finds empha-
sis in every ring, from that of the draft
horse to the pigeon coop. 1t is demanded
not only by the novice, who sees moth
ing beyond the graceful lines of contour,
but by the expert, as well, who recog-
nizes it as necessary to insure transmits
sion Of those virtues he seeks to repro
duce and intensity in the offspring.
The experienced and successful breeder
recognizes no better reason for Withhold
ing food from animals under his care
than he finds for restricting the members
of his household in the same direction
Given The proper kind and variety of
food, the quantity can safely be left to
the instincts Of the animal. If regularly
supplied, no more will be taken than
can properly be assimilated, while wit
a less quantity some detriment must en-
sue. Blood will tell > but its story
will never be complete unless the scenes
of its triumphs be laid in proximity to
productive pastures and well-flled
troughs."
While generous feeding is thus placed
among the essentials to the highest sue
cess, the same attention to detail-varie-
ty, quantity, quality. and The influence
Of these upon fleece and fesh-will be re-
quired that is bestowed upon what are
commonly considered the higher arts Of
breeding. Pampering with homogeneous
food, restriction TO limited quarters. the
creation and encouragement Of a vitiated
appetite, the administering Of suitable
food at improper hours, or improper food
at any time-in short all errors q man.

Soil for Sugar Bects.

The beet requires deep, permeable
soil, for its roots penetrate deeply into
the ground and are abundantly supplied
with fine fibres through which it receives
its nourishment. IF the soil does not
permit the root to grow down deeply the
top will be forced to grow above the
ground, and the crown which grows out
of ground in nearly worthless for sugar
purposes. A deep, sandy loan is the
best sod to produce beets rich in sugar.
They will, however, grow on a variety
of soils, and any soil which will pillow
and subsoil to the depth of twelve or
fifteen inches is a good best soil. Avoid
all wet lands and muck bottoms as I'M
suitable. Beets will not flourish on wet
lands, and what grow are not sweet.
Muck bottoms produce large tops but
small roots with little sugar In them.

tfoIu8d tNcsl Transcript
A first-rate cat story has come to our
notice from an entirely authentic
source. The scene is laid in the village
Of Yarmouth. An aged gentleman and
his housekeeper constitute the family,
and the good old cat finds the lines are
fallen to her in pleasant places. Family
prayers are the rule each evening in this
household, and the cat fell into the habit
Of regular and punctual attendance.
No other of the cares that proverbially
crowd cats life was ever allowed 10
interfere with this religious duty. At
the signal for prayers, she would even
leave mouse half caught, or give q
doomed bird longer lease of existence,
and decoruusly compose herself in the
lap Of the hcusekeepor with an air OF
attention TO service that was highly
edifying At the final amen she went
friskily about her business. But in an
evil day there came kitten that was
deemed superiluous, and sentence of
death was passed upon it. The head OF
the family undertook tho execution of
the sentence, and, unknown TO HIM, the
cat was witness to the scene. From
that day the eat refused to attend service,
kand can not now he induced to listen TO

F.R.T.. Saxonville, r. l., asks if bone
dust would not make a good dressing for
grass land to be applied this fall. Well,
ms for that matter, we think ii would be
better to compost the bone dust with
yard manure and then apply the COM
post If six or eight cords OF this hne
compost were applied to the acre 1t
Would not only furnish a good dressing
of itself, which the land would be the
better for, would act rs a sort of mulch
or protection for the grass roots, and II
the soil was at all inclined TO "heave,' IL
would be positive benefit. But our
correspondent must remember that the
disadvantage of using bone dHst or
ground bone alone, as fertilizer, is the
fact of its slow action. The nitrogen
and phosphoric acid which the bones
contain is very slowly rendered available
for plants, on account of their insoluble
nature; but where the bone dust is added
to yard or barn manure as n compost,
the bones cause the mass to ferment
somewhat, and the heat engendered lib
crates the phosphoric acid and nitrogen,
which is absorbed by the manure and
given out more quickly to plants when
brought into contact with them. Good
practice and the last scientific authori-
ties have united in recommending this
as the best treatment for ground bone
and the best manner Of its application to
plants. Fifty pounds of ground bone to
a cord of manure would be sufficient

Teaching Cannrlea.

An Australian newspaper, says the
Figaro, relates how the education Of
canary birds has been brought to a high
degree of perfection. The birds are
placed in house where they can hear
no other sounds than their own voices
and the notes of an organ placed behind
a looking-glass in which they see each
other. In a short time they learn the
time, after which they are separately
taught diiierentparts in concerted pieces.
The results obtained already are marvel
lous, and the dilettaute is so enchanted
with his success that he hopes event
ually to execute one of Wagner's operas
with troupe Of two hundred feathered
yocalists.

Fall Flowing.

We make the following extract from
the New England Farmer on the subject
of fall blowing: Whether to pillow in
fall offspring is question that has been
discussed for many years, and will con-
tinue to be discussed for great many
years vet to come. 1t is one of those
questions that is continually presenting
itself, and must be answered in each case
according to the peculiar circumstances
attending it. As general rule it may,
perhaps, be safe to say pillow light sandy
land late in the spring, and heavy clay in
the fall. Heavy clay land seems to require
the alternate freezing and thawing of
winter to pulverize and fit it for the next
years crop, while light lands need no pull
verization. Sandy land will often lose
much by kswing away when notrovered
: 7by growing crops. Yet there are excep-
tions to this as to all general rules. For
a corn cropit is thought, by many, that
spring blowing is decidedly best on any
land, provided the blowing is done late,
Just before planting, and the pillow not
allowed to run more than three or four
inches deep. 1t is certainly great mis-
take to pillow heavy land in the spring,
whether old ground or sod, before it is
dry enough to crumble and pulverize. If
plowed while too wet it is rendered lumpy,
and the Jumps, will not pulverize all
summer. Wet land plowed in the fall
will have the advantage of the winter
freezing to pulverize the hard Jumps, and
this may be, and probably is one reason
why MANY farmers have supposed that
fall blowing is always preferable.

ChicIscn.Raising in the Past.

During the New York state fair even
ing meetings were held 10 persons inter
ested in different branches Of husbandry.
At one Of the meetings Mr.. A. NJ. Hal
sted read a paper on pOultry-raising as
practiccd in former times, of which the
following is an extract: Fowls were
regarded as a species of freebOOters, and
lust barely tolerated. They roamed
when and where they pleased. If per
chance they were too free in the garden,
the house-dog was set upon them to
drive them out, or they were pelted with
stones. sticks or whatever was m st
handy. They roasted in summer in the
trees around the door yard in winter,
under the novels and sheds, on the carts,
wagons. ladders, or wherever they could
find place. For nests, they had nearly
all creation-the manger in the stable,
the hay-mow in the barn, the old sleigh
under the cart-shed, the blackberry patch
in the corner Of the hog-yard, the brush
heap in the woodward, or the high grass
or weeds in the neighbOring meadow.
Semi-periodical egg hunts were made,
and the eggs obtained were sent 70 the
country store and tradsd of for needles,
thread, or other etceteras-many Of these

SOUTHERN FARM AND HoAs!!


Mr. Lewis Wright has the following
saw ON this subject in tbel Fancier :
Journal:
II seems nj least in the highest degrce
probable that the influence OF a gwen
male lasts longer If no successor be m
troduced. or that, in fact, II may either
remain for certain time, il undisturbed,
ar II disturbed. be in less time but
how much less is hardly certain neu-
tmlized OF rather overpowered by the
second. IL seems nearly certain that
whatever the precise time be, the iniiu-
esce of given male in ordinary eases
last for a considerable less time than
has been generally supposed.
IL seems established that there is such
a thing rs an extraordinary influence.
That the first union often has lasting
effect is well known. Hens first crossed
with Polish cock have been known to
show a tendency to breed crested chicks
all their lives; and eases in my own
knowledge have led me TO think 1t eN-
tremely probable that, say Brahma hen
first crossed by a Dorking, might throw
occasionally fve-toed chicks afterwards:
For in all these cases il is to be observed
that the plumage isgenerally unaffected,
and that the old faint is far more likely
to show IN some peculiar point, such as
a top-knot. a pea-cOmb, or a fifth toe,
which has become as it were very com
ponent part of the breed.
But ii also seems at least possible that
an occasional or single mesalhance with
such a strongy-marked variety as, say a
Brahma, Poland or a Dorking, may
not be sufficient to disturb the actual
parentage or the general plumage, and
vet enough influence may be given to
impress ona portion of the chicks the
one peculiar point Several cases of this
nature have come within my notice, and
they may serve to account for many oc-
currences which have been attributed to
impurity Of blood in the actual parent.
1t appears, in short, as if in certain
sense as if chick may have. two
fathers Further light on this interest
ing part Of the subject is much to be
desired
am at all events inclined to the opin-
ion that in ordinary cases, when male
bird is changed for another of the same
breed, about week may be relied upon
TO determine the paternity. In case of
an alien or markedly inferior bird, J
should, however, certainly allow longer;
and / am also inclined to think that il
there have been very few hens the infu-
ence might probably last longer than If
they were numerous.
