A Difference Worth Saving.

From the Vicksburg Comm ercial.
A telegram states that on Monday five
barges, containing two hundred and fifty
thousand bushels of corn, left st. Louis
for New Orleans, where it will be re-
shipped to Europe. The freight bill to
the sea by this route will amount to q,
900, while if shipped by rail to New York
it would reach $4,000 This immense
difference in freight bills will cause near
ly the entire grain crop of the West to
seek route to Europe by way of the
great Mississippi.

Health in the FARMHOUSE.

THIS is the season when fermentation
Is progressing rapidly, and vile odors
are being generated to pollute the air
and to disseminate the seeds of such in
fictitious diseases as scarlet and typhoid
fever, diphtheria, cholera, etc. Farm
ers are longer lived than any other class
Of citizens-statistics showing their
average age at death for the last thirty
Eve years in Massachusetts, as being
65.57 years, while the average of all
other classes has been 51.15, and the
average of mechanics laboring out of
doors, the next longest lived class, has
been 53.05, still it is great mistake to
suppose that the rural districts are more
free from typhoid fever and other in
fectious diseases than are cities and
large villages. The germs of typhoid
fever especially, a disease which now
causes about one-fifth of the deaths in
Massachusetts,, are generated from the
sewage and other filth in and around
the farmhouse. The sewerage of cities
has been so perfected, that in this re-
spect they have the advantage over
the country, and the largest number
of deaths from filth diseases is now re-

Poultry on the Farm.

To keep poultry on the farm is eco
nomical. When a farmer keeps a herd
of COWS, flock of sheep, together with
horses and hogs, there IS always room
on the farm for a good stock of poultry.
Even when all the cows, sheep and hogs
are kept that there is room for, there IL
still room for poultry. 1t is almost
necessity for every family to keep pig,
in order that the refuse and house slops
may be utilized; 1t 10 in the same sense
that poultry are valuable-they are the
scavengers of the farm. There is
class Of fowls that require very much
room on the farm. Still, they do not
require room and attendance, and they
may be kept in such a shiftless manner
that they will be found improbable.
All kinds of poultry may be kept, pro-
vided they may have the run of the barn
yard but they must be kept in such q
manner as to prevent their rayages in
garden and grain fields. Turkeys,
ducks, geese and hens may be kept all
summer without using one square yard
of room available for any other purpose.
Care should be observed, in providing
for ducks and geese, that they may not
have the privilege-for such they will
deem it-Of fouling the water required
for the stock, or making themselves a
nuisance in any other manner.
Young chickens and turkeys will require
some care for the first few weeks of their
existence; after that they may be trusted
to care for themselves to a great extent
Poultry may be raised and a flock OF
hens kept, producing eggs all summer
without the outlay of one dollar fol
grain. Sour milk from the dairy is very
good for young poultry, and there arC
many other articles Of refuse on the
farm that can be profitably used in the
maintenance of fowls. Now, why is i
that farmers do not indulge in the luxu
ries of fresh eggs daily during summer
and also of fresh poultry more than they
doP know that it is too often the cas-
that all the eggs produced on the farm
are sold for groceries and other small
items of household expenses. 1 know
that too often all the poultry are sold Il
the butcher, and that sometimes thu
farmer does not taste fresh egg or |
chicken during the entire year. This i
unwise. With a little care sufficien
eggs can be produced not only to max
profitable item in the farmer's income
but also to enable him to crafty hi
taste for fresh eggs as well. Poultr.
may be produced as cheaply as an
other class of meat.-BOston Transcript

In the farmhouse r. the storage Of fveQe-
tables IN the cellar. These, n stored IN
large piles in a warm cellar, win heat
and give of a nozious efluvium IN the
winter, and II left till warm weather,
win become very offensive and very
likely will generate disease. Vegetables
for stock should be stored in barn cellars,
or II these arc wanting, I'm pits or
trenches dug in dry soil where they win
keep much fresher than In any cellar.
Those intended for family use may be
Dut into the house cellar, but IN this case
the cellar must be kept as cool and well
ventilated as possible, and cleaned out
as early In the spring as the weather
will permit. II any one has cabbages,
or turnips, OF onions in his cellar as late
as May he should understand that he
exposes his family 10 that terrible
scOurRe, typhoid fever. A very perfect
ventilation Of the cellar at ali seasons
Of the year may be effected by
opening a hole into the chimney.
In the large, old-fashioned chimneys
resting on an arch into which the ashes
were shoveled by taking up a tile in the
corner Of the fireplace, the best ventila-
ton possible may be secured by remOv-
ing this tile permanently, and letting
the air Of the cellar rush up the chimney,
as 1t will 50 long as the chimney is heat
ed. When fires are no longer necessary,
and even before this, the cellar windows
may be removed, and If the cellar occu-
pies, as IL should, the whole ground plot
and windows on all sides, the ventilation
will be perfect. In any event the old
vegetables, with perhaps the exception
of potatoes, should be taken out. Pota-
toes are not much inclined TO decay at
this season Of the year, but should be
looked over, sorted and chitted, and the
small and rotten potatoes as also the
sprouts and all rubbish Of every kind,
removed, and the cellar whitewashed
The kitchen of many farmhouse looks
nice and tidy, chile the cellar is full oi
disorder and filth. Such a farmer may
not be guilty Of murder prepense, but
there is great danger that manslaughter
possibly parricide, may be laid 10 his

Another Phenomenal American Girl.


MILE. NEVADA, the young American
artist, reported to have just made a sue.
oessful debut as Amina, at Her
Majesty's Theater, London, is well re-
membered as child on the Pacific
slope. She was born at a California
mining camp, Alpha, now a small vii
lage in Nevada County, from which she
has taken her stage name, her real
name being Emma Wixon. Her father,
DR.. WixOn, and his wife, having been
reduced in fortune, opened small inn
at Alpha, where q daughter was born
to them about 1857. One Fourth OF
July, when Emma was some four years
old, theusual celebration was held there.
After the rural brass band had executed
in doubled sense a national air, the
child who, with her father, was stand
ing near the musicians, seemed absorbed
in their rude strains, and whispered,
" Papa, papa, won't you ask the men to
play that againP" They complied, Of
course, and before their notes had died
away in the mountain air, the child be.
gan to sing, reproducing faithfully in
tra-la-las what she had just heard. The
assembled miners were delighted, natu-
rally, and expressed their delight in
ringing huzzas. They gave the little
warbler the name of Pet, which long
adhered to her. Her parents afterward
removed to Virginia City, New, where
her vocal talents were as carefully culti-
waited as they could be in such a place.
Since then she has been studying in
Europe at the best schools, and her
friends have great hope of her lyric fu-
ture. She is said to have shown indom-
liable perseverance and courage, and to
richly deserve any success she may at
tain.-W. Y Times.
