FIFTY THOUSAND ToNs OF LIMESTONE TO BE
MOVED BY ONE LARGE EXPLoSIoN.-The third
big blast Id the limestone quarry at Glendan,
Pa, will soon be set of, and it is expected that
$4,000 tons OF limestone will be dislodged. The
quarry is situated on hillside, into which run
dour drifts distance of fifty feet. AT the inner

WALKING ON THE WATRR.-W. C. Soule. who
patented an invention for walking on water a
year ago, gave an exhibition OF his apparatus
on the Harlem river, New York; Sunday last
1t consists of two shoes of thin zinc five feet
long, ten inches wide, and flve Deep There is
q socket In the center Of each Tor depostttng
the foot, but around that socket the shoe ia
hollow and alright. 1t sinks about four Inches
when stepped In. Underneath, at each end is
an automatic paddle seven inches deem shaped
like venetian blind. When MOVING forward
the blades open In order to AFFORD no obstruc-
they Close. This gives purchase for the hind
leg. which enables the fore leg to advance. Mr..
SOule at first walked across the river In street
clothes, but afterward, when In q bathing suit
pushed the shoes into the stream, swan. and
foated In sitting posture. He was led to the
invention by desire to follow snipe In Wayne
county, where he was reared. The shoes en-
the water was often too deep for wading, and
wbere a boat would have been useless. He
found them also to AFFORD q comfortable seat In
fishing.

Preparing Fowls for Market.

In many places fowls are fattened by
artificial methods. The fowls are con-
fined in close, dark places, with barely
standing room, and literally stuffed alive.
Can such flesh be wholesome as food? l
will own that the barnyard fowl is filthy
scavenger naturally. Still. in my opinion
there is no sweeter, tenderer fowls flesh
than that which is gained while running
abroad. Nevertheless. the more healthy
the animals are kept while fattening, the
more wholesome flesh do they return, and
this can not be done in close confinement
We Americans are imprudent in our
habits, and in no one are we more so than
in matters pertaining to our food The
fat of fowls is like oil and never digests, or
is taken up with vegetable food, and the
worst of this fat or grease is produced in
the fowls confined and stuffed. Good
solid meat can only be produced when the
fowls are in a natural state of health and
liberty. When fowls are prepared for
market, the object seems to be to obtain
Ine greatest weight at the least expenditure
of food. Hence the practice of confine-
ment. Fowls thus kept in confinement
must be fattened quickly-in ten days, or
fourteen at least. They can not survive
the pressure longer. But the public ap-
petite demands fat fowls, and this demand
must be gratifed. When the public learns
to distinguish between the natural and I'M
naturally fed poultry, this cruelty will
cease. 1t takes longer to fatten fowls for
market in the natural way. First, the
growth and feathering must be obtained,
after which the body fills out plump. This
can not be obtained in perfection until the
bird has got its natural growth which
period varies with the breed. The males
are longer in arriving at maturity than
the females The frame is larger, the
muscle greater. and greater vigor is re-
CURED; consequently males never take on
as much fat or flesh; neither is it of that
sweet juicy quality so manifest in the fe-
male, unless the cock be caponized, in
which case the flesh is superier-Cu

Jay Gould is said to have lost
millions by the late rise in stocks
This fact has been telegraphed all
over the country. Although no one
seems to pity him especially. it is
made matter of boasting by the
capitalistic organs that he is a man
who can bear great deal of soueez-
ing before he will give up the ghost.
We tail to see wherein Gould is
man so organized constitutionally
that he can bear any more soueeZ.
ing than other men. On the occa-
sion of one or two visits among the
farmers whose prospects his nefair-
Gus schemes had ruined he is said
to have taken himself out of the
way at short notice rather than run
the risk of good square Nebraska
squeeze. A Wall street squeeze is
one thing, but on his own merits,
with the genuine hemp article adius-
ted by committee of Iowa farmers.
we have serious doubts that he
would have stood any more squeez-
ing than an ordinary vulgar horse
thief.

Southern Industries.

Not one who takes an inerest in the
welfare of the South has failed to note the
rapid extension of Southern industries
since the close of the war. In some
branches of these industries success has
been attained, and degree of Importance
assumed, that is destained at early dav to
work a revolution in our industrial per-
suits. The facilities and capabilities of
the South in manufacturing her material,
and utilizing what has hitherto gone to
waste, or used to little profit, have not
until late years, been fully appreciated
An exchange speaking on the subject thus
alludes to one branch of our manufactur-
ing interest:
One OF these is the manufacturing of
the oil of cotton seed and the art of refin-
ing the same, by which it is made as
sweet as olive oil, and not only used
as such in the United States, but is now
largely exported TO Italy to compete with
the native olive OIL which is a staple arti-
Gle. 1t is there used for adulterating the
native article, and then it is exported
again as genuine olive OIL This has al
ready become a serious matter, as of the
the six million gallons of cotton seed oil
which were exported from the United
States during the last year the greater
portion went 70 Italy. The Italian gov
eminent, therefore, in order to check this
adulteration has imposed a heavy duty
upon the importation of cotton seed oil
from the United States. The expectation,
which in 1877 and and 1873 was about one
and half million gallons per year, reach
ed in 1879 nearly six millions. and this
will be surpassed in 1880. Our home con-
sumption of the article is over 1000 600
gallons per year. Mississippi and Louis
lana have each six oil mills; Tennessee
eight, Texas six, Arkansas four, and Mis-
souri,, Alabama and Georgia two each;
together, a.. Atpresent 10000 tons of
the seed are now pressed, yielding IS gal
Ions of oil and $50 pounds of oil cake to
the ton of seed. This oil cake has ad-
mirable fattening qualities and is largely
used for catt1e-ScienHf Imerfcau.

Appletons' Journal,
For 1851.

The purpose of APPLEToNs' JOURNAL has
been to provide intelligent readers with litera-
ture of permanent and sterling character on
all topics which affect public welfare and gen.
eral culture; and it is the intention to adhere
to this purpose in the future:
Large space will continue to be given
to Literary and Art Themes, to Discussions of
Social Questions, to Critical and Speculative
Essays, to Papers, original and selected, that
in any way are likely to interest intelligent
people, or which will reflect the intellectual
activity of the age
One of the recent features of the JOURNAL has
been the translation of brilliant NOVELTIES
current in the French and German periodicals.
The talent for writing artistic and highly fin
ished stories short novels is very notable
among French authors, and the plan of pre-
senting this superior fiction to American read
ers has been recognized as unique and brill
liant attraction. Noteworthy novelettes from
British and home writers will also be included.
"The Editors Table," which has always
joyed no little reputation for its acute and sug
gcstive comments on current themes, will be
continued as hitherto.
Finally it will be observed that the subscrp-
ton price is exceedingly low; n magazine of a
very superior character, in the ample pages of
which large quantity of choice literature is
presented, at three dollars a year, affords COM
bination of cheapuess and excellence deserving
notice.
TERMS: 50 90 per annum, in advance, post
age pre- paid single numbers, Is cents. A club
of five will be sent one year for Sl2.
The volumes begin January and July of each
year. Subscriptions may begin at any time.

a new movement in behalf of
temperance has been begun in Bos-
ton, and last week a large meeting,
intended to give it impetus, was held
at fremont Temple There were
several vigorous speeches, made by
ciergymen chiefly. and Gov. Long
of Massachusetts presided and de
livered the opening address. A
large proportion of the audience
were men, and though the meeting
lacked the fervor which distinguish
ed the temperance gatherings of
generation ago, it was the most ex-
IRENE opinions which drew out the
loudest and heartiest applause
Gov. Long announced the purpos-
es of the new temperance move
ment. They are not at all political,
nor do they especially concern them
selves with the question of the le-
gal means of preventing drunken
ness. The idea is rather to stimulate
the growth of great popular SEN
timent in favor of temperance. AS
Gov. Long put it: "Whatever your
individual views, the scope of this
meeting recognizes, first, the peril
of intemperance and its growth;
second the necessary constitutional
difference of opinion concerning the
methods of suPpressing it, and third,
the need of combining every ele-
ment of good citizenship against it. ="
Such an effort to awaken the COM
munity to Individual and general
efforts to lessen intemperance. must
command the respect Of everybody
who thinks about the subject.
Whether men drink alcoholic Ii
quors themselves or not, whether
they believe in prohibition or the
system of licenses, they do not diff
fer in opinion as to the benefits
which would result from temper
ance actually practised. Even the
drunkards appreciate the impor-
lance of a reform in that direction,
and far more keenly than those who
do not suffer in their own persons
from the inordinate use Of alcohol.
They do not need Cough aud Muir
by to tell them Of the evils Of in
emperanCe.
And everybody knows that the
hief Affections of society come from
re abuse of alcohol. 1t fills the iails,
risons, aims houses, and insane asy-
ms. 1t is at the bottom of very
many of the failures in life. 1t is
the fruitful cause of many of the dis
eases which are most destructive.
1t paralyzes the energies of the gen
erarion existing, and transmits worse
evils to the generations to come.
All this we know and acknowledge;
and yet drunkenness is still among
the commnest of vices, and only a
small proportion Of those who drink
alcoholic beverages keep their in
diligence within the bounds health
req uires.

Some time ago Josiah Hooper, in
an address before the Pennsylvania
Fruit Growers Association, made
the following excellent remark on
planting fruit trees: Deep planting
is one error-to plant tree rather
shallower than it formerly stood is
really the right way, whilst many
plant tree as they would a post.
Roots are of two kind-the young
and tender rootlets, composed en-
tirely of cells, the feeders of the tree,
always found near the surface get
ting air and moisture; and roots of
over one year old, which serve only
as supporters Of the tree and as con-
ductors of its food. Hence the in
jury that ensues when the delicate
rootlets are so deeply buried in the
earth. Placing fresh or green ma
nure in contact with the young roots
is, he tells us, another great error.
The place to put manure is on the
surface, where the elements disin-
tegrate, dissolve and carry it down
ward. Numerous forms of fungi
are generated and reproduced by
the application of such manures di-
rectly to the roots, and they imme-
diately attack the tree. 1t is very
well to enricn the soil at TRANSPLANT
ting the tree, but the manure, if to
be in contact with, or very near the
roots, should be thoroughly decom-
posed"

Fruit without Pains.

Most men have learned that they must
labor for what they are to possess and en-
JOY. Blessings do not come by chance
But there is one eXception,--in the case of
fruit-so far as many persons believe.
When they plant an orchard, they select
the trees without acknowledgements uppos-
ing it necessary. After the trees are
planted they give them no attention,-not
supposing it necessary. In everything else,
and in all other crops they attempt to
raise, they inform themselves thoroughly
and labor diligently. But in fruit mat
tiers they are constantly liable to imposi-
ton from irresponsible hawkers, who offer
trees at enormous prices, such as straw
berries growing on trees, crosses between
the raspberry and the grape, plums never
stung by the curiculio, pears which are
never attacked by disease, ETC., and the ex-
travagant prices satisfy the purchasers
that they must be something wonderful.
If these planters would only confne
themselves to the very limited line of
knowledge which they happen to possess,
and plant only the Baldwin and Greening
among apples, the Bartlett and Seckel
among pears, and the Concord and Della
ware among grapes, they would get vast
ly better selection at moderate rates.
But this class of planters is growing
less. and men who inform themselves on
the subject are rapidly Increasing. through
the various modes Of acquiring informa-
ton, the best of which is by planting and
experimenting on their own grounds, to
at least a limited extent Among the
many places we have visited where the
owners of orchards make large profits,
they have long given and still continue to
give constant attention to every depart
ment of the business; and the more nu-
merous class who make handsome pro-
vision for supplying their family with fresh
fruit the year round know that such a sup
ply will not come by chance. We desire
to encourage the requirement of practical
knowledge IN fruit raising, whether for
profit or for the more limited family sup
DIV, which every man who owns an acre,
more or less, should provide. 1t may be
