THE INSANE ASYLUM.

An observant traveller passing
through our sister town (Jackson)
some seven years ago, could scarce-
Iy have overlooked the imposing
structure, on high eminence to the
right of the road going east. A
close observer would also have no.
ticed that while the main building
stood an impregnable bulwark to
the ravagss of time. the less SUBJ
stantial outbuiIdings and once
beautiful grounds had been. given
up to the deadly encroachments of
old age. Or had he been invited
within the premises still more de.
plorable scene would have met his
gaze. Two hundred poor, inaane
human wretches were wards in this
institution and their condition was
thus half clad. worn out and filthy
bedding, and half starved from
meagre allowance OF unpalatable
food. We are not cerain what
the exact amount Of the appropria
tions at that time were; it is suffi-
cicnt to sly they We're as liberal az
at present. This was under War;
moth, and Burgess is the name of
the brute experimenting tie .Asy-
lum who, like every radical official,
left as legacy, some iy> thousand
dollars worth of claims against the
Board.
Burgess was superseded by DR.. J,
w. Jones, with what result tho
first act of this humane gentleman
was one Of phllantrophy. Finding
his patients half naked and starving,
no money in the treasury and no
c .ance of getting immediate relief
from the State, the d. ctor, pro,
ceeded to New Orleans, and through
circulars and personal applications,
secured clothing, ETC., sufficient to
pass through the winter. In the
spring, after the appropriations
were made a stock of substantial
material was pu! chased and CLOTH
ing made-(by the patients, and
without cost to any one) the large
fed belonging 10 the Asylum was
planted in vegetables and during
that year, and in fact, ever since
his induction, rancied bacon and
musty meal and -four, was supple
mented by wholesome food, raised
by the patients. In provisions
alone at least one half Of the ex-
pense Of the institution was saved.
For long period the Doctor was
crowded for room to accommodate
the increased number of patieuts,
but by his indomitabIe will. this
Inconvenience was somewhat over
come by the repair of several
roomy outbuildings. The extensive
grounds fronting the Asylum have
been cleaned up; the trees trim
med, fences repaired and a magni~
ficent road made Qhe cost of which
alone would amount so more than
five hundred dollars) by the pa
tents, under the personal supervi-
sion Of the Superintendent.
The Asylum, it is estimated, as
made a sufhciency of corn to bread |
the institution, (inc!uding proven
der for several mules and other
stock next year. At present there |
arc two hundred and twcnty-fv
patients under treatment. Another !
feature worthy Of mention is the
affection exhibited by the unfortu
nate inmates for their GUARDIAN
When Dr.. Jones first took charge,
there were not less than twenty.

bic plan Of relief. But the scheme mus
be weighed on Its own merits.
ARE LOTTERIES wRoNG?
Two questions arise. The first Is: Are
lotteries wrong In principle? II Is mol
whether they are not forbidden by the
laws Of the country. Suppose that there
was no Legislation on the subject, would
they be right? And the answer Is, that
they would not. The principle Which un.
deries them, no matter how conducted,
Is bad. The object Of them Is to obtain
money or other property without an
equivalent Tor 1t. II property really worth
Jour millions OF dollars IN the market
could be offered as the assets Of the Bish.
op, this scheme would never have been
devised. Only part Of the sum can be
realized from the assets. by means OF
lottery It Is hoped that far more than the
real value can be secured. Indeed. for
aught that yet appears, all the capital
which goes into the lottery may be
that which Is accumulated by the tickets.

Prize Crops.


A gentleman of Boston has made an
offer to the farmers boys of York county,
Maine, which will doubtless stimulate
interest in agriculture, and aid in train
ing class of enterprising young far
mers. He offers prizes-the first of 800,
the second of $50, and five prizes of $40
each for the largest crop of Indian
corn on lots of one-eighth of an acre
each. The conditions are that the con-
testants must have lived in York county
at least two years; must be under seven
teen years of age on the 1st of June;
must enter their names with the presi-
dent of the York County Agricultural
Society on or before May 1st; must do
the work themselves, except that they
may have help to drive the team in
ploughing or cultivating; and must at
the end of the season make report,
giving detailed account of the land
used, and of their processes of cultiva-
ton. They may use as much of any
kind of fertilizer as they please. The
corn is to be measured under the direc-
ton of the president of the county agri-
cultural society, whose decisions and
awards must be final. If such prizes
were offered to boys of other States, the
effect would soon be seen in improved
methods of cultivation.

1 have never known person VINO
would dispute the assertion with which
the chapter on peaches In Thomas
Fruit Ctlturist opens, that 'the peach,
when in perfection, Is the most delicious
fruit of our climate" Unfortunately,
the disease known as yellows, and the
enemy known as the peach-borer, make
1t, In many localities, one of the most
difficult of fruits to grow. For several
years have used wood ashes about my
peach trees with marked success in
obviating these two evils. About a
peck of fresh ashes Is applied each
spring and fall about the stem of the
tree in little conlcal mound, that pre-
viously so placed being spread upon the
soil when new application Is made.
The conical mound prevents the attack
of the borer, and the dressing of ashes
upon the soil stimulates the vigor of the
tree, so that 1t is enabled to resist the
disease. But this must be accompanied
by regular shortening.in of the last
years growth, and by thinning of the
fruit, to prevent overbearing, which
exhausts the tree and leaves it an easy
prey to disease. A case of yellows occa-
sionally, though rarely, appears in my
orchard, as must be expected where a
disease is constitutional, but by this
treatment peaches are now successfully
grown where their cultivation was for q
long time abandoned. Cor. Country

Hint on Churning.

An experienced dairyman states that
he considers the critical point in the
process of churning, in order to make
good butter, is just when the butter and
buttermilk begin to separate. Two or
three gallons of cold, strong brine added
to the churning at this moment, he
claims, wonderfully facilitates the pro-
cess, and improves the condition of the
butter; the warmer the cream the more
brine is needed and the more important
this part of the work. He also suggests
that only brine should be used in wash
ing the butter

ED- Fat bacon, chopped fine and
sprinkled plentifully with black pepper,
is convenient and reliable remedy for
cholera in chickens. Last summer a
number of hens were cured by its use.
When found, they had dropped from
the roost; they were so far gone that
they could not get up, and were only able
to raise their heads occasionally. They
were given comfortable shelter by
themselves; ateaspoonful of the mixture
was forced down the throat of each bird,
morning and evening. No other atten-
ton was paid them. At the end of the
third day they were set at liberty and
went about as usual, giving no further
trouble. Water may be placed where
they can help themselves, but no food
is required. Smaller doses may be
given in cases less severe.

New Way to Cook Chickens.

Cut the chicken up, put in pan and
cover it over with water; let it stew as
usual, and when done make thicken-
ing of cream and flour, adding a piece
of butter and pepper and salt. Have
made and bake pair of short cakes,
made as for pie crust, but roll thin and
cut in small squares. This is much
better than chicken pie and more SIM
pie to make. The crusts should be laid
on dish and the chicken gravy poured
over while both are hot.
