AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THE flow of milk is sometimes quite
suddenly diminished and checked by
exposure of cows without proper shelter
in sudden changes of temperature in
winter.
PEAR blight has, in several instances,
been arrested in affected trees by syTing
ing them with a weak solution of potash,
and it has proved a preventive when ap
piled to healthy trees.
WHEN a horse is worked hard his food
should be chiefly oats-if not worked
hard his food should be chiefly hay, be
cause oats supply more nOurishment and
flesh-making material than any other
foOd-hay not so much.
IT is said that never in the whole his
tory of this country was there so much
winter wheat sOwn as this season, nor
ever was it looking better, if as well.
Many farmers are feeding down with
sheep and COWS.
OATS should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for young one, because
the former, through age and defective
teeth, can not chew them properly; the
thus properly mixed with the saliva and
turned into wholesome nutriment.
ALL clayey soils seem well adapted
tions of the Connecticut Valley the light
gray or chocolate cOlOred lands of East
ern Virginia and the red clayey soil of
the Vuelta de Abajo, Cuba, produce the
finest tobacco in the world.
To cure gals on the shoulders of your
horses: At morning, noon and night
wash the shoulders well with water, and
apply with feather the following: Six
drains of iodine dissolved in half pint
of alcohol. 1t is a good preparation to
keep in the stable at all times.
To utilize feathers of ducks, chickens
and turkeys, generally thrown aside as
refuse, trim the plumes from the stamp,
inclose them in a tight bag, rub tue
whole as if washing clothes, and you
will secure a perfectly uniform and light
down, excellent for quilting cOverlets
and not few other purposes.

their bounty in two years. She eluded
one g test " with success and ventured
upon another, but this time the watch
ers were keener, and on the ninth day,
being so weak that her death seemed
imminent, she signed a confession that
her story of fasting for six years was a
falsehoOd. The first watchers had been
deceived for three weeks by her daugh-
tiers giving her food when kissing her or
when washing her face with towels dip
ped in milk or Cruel, by squeezing the
liquid into her mouth. In 1871 fast
ing man named Cavanagh appeared at
Reading; he was detected in his
fraud, however, and November 90,
sent to prison and stuffed for
three months. In September, 1852,
Elizabeth Squirrel of Shottesham,
Suffolk, bamboozled a number of ''med-
zeal men, clergymen, dissenting minis
tiers and members of the aristOcracy "
into believing that she had lived for
three months without food and in the
enjoyment of communion with angelic
visitors, but rigid watch disclosed
fraud. In 1867, began the famous case
of Sarah Jacob, the Welsh Fasting Girl.
She was ten years old and after strong
commissions of an epileptiform charac-
L
October she ate nothing but a bit of APP
pie the size of pill daily. Even this
she ceased to take on the 10th, and
thereafter till her death, December II,
1869, according to her parents and
friends, she took no nutriment of any
kind whatever. Her case was soon
noised abroad, to the great fame and
not inconsiderable profit of her parents,
and many converts were made to belief
in her truthfulness, Including the vicar of
the parish, who became quite euthusi-
astic. A systematic fOrtnight's watch
was attempted in March-April, 1869, but
some of the watchers got drunk, others
slept and still others were considered
Enthusiastically, so tkat DR.. Fowler called
it "the greatest possible farce and mock
cry" In December, four experienced fe-
male nurses from Guys were sent down
TO take entire charge of the child. They
began their watch on the 9Th at 1 p. m.
on the 10th she was failing so vlsibly
that the parents were urged to withdraw
the nurses and give her food, but they
refused, saving that she had often been
as weak before. On the 18th at $50 p.
m. she died-simply starved to DEATH
The heartless parents were indicted for
manslaughter, and, being convicted,
were sentenced to Imprisonment for the
absurdly inadequate periods of twelve
and six months respectively. An at
tempt to make out case against the
| physicians failed.
Such are some of the most remarkable
cases of alleged abstinence from food
during a long period. With the cases
of Miss Fancher and of Louise Lateau
and others in which stigmatization is or
has been noted, our readers are familiar,
as they also are with many authenticated
instances of continued involuntary fast
ing, as those of imprisoned coal-miners
or shipwrecked sailors.

The Freedmen,s Bank.

WASHINGTON ID. ~ Jan. y
In the investigation of the Freedmen's Bank
affairs, before the Select Committee, the Com
miSsiOners were examined to what meas
ures they had taken to call the Trustees of the
bank to account for certain transactions with
the Seneca Sand Stone Company. 1t was stated
in reply that efforts had been made to that
end, and that one of the Commissioners, Leo
pOld, had earnestly desired to take action
against the Trustees, but that the other Com
missiOners, Cresswell and PuroOs, had dCcid-
ed that the transactions were not OF an ac-
tfonable nature, ana they could not, there
fore, proceed without involving expensive lit
igatiOn, with all chances of success against
them.
Ex-Governor Henry d. Cooke was recalled,
and testified to the transactions of the
Finance Committee and Board of Di-
rectOrs of the bank. The minutes of
the committee, bearing his signature, hav-
ing been shown him, he acknowledged
his approval OF loans to the Seneca sand
stone Company, on the belief that the security
was ample. Touching loans to General .. o.
Howard, the Young Mems Christian AssOcia-
ton, and others, Mr. Cooke had no recollec-
ton at this distance OF time He could not
recall facts and figures with any absolute GER
tainty.

The Ute Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 10.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs re-
sumcd this morning the investigation of the
causes of the recent Ute outbreak. Gen. @. Il.
Fisk charged the Indian Bureau with mis-
management and inattcntiOn to the wants,
claims and Tightful dues of the Utes, which
had led to dissatisfaction and reStleSSneSS on
their part, rendering them ripe for an out
break.
William NJ. Leeds, formerly Chief Clerk of
the Indian Bureau, attributed the dlSaftectiOn
of the UteS TO the utter lnattentlOn OF Com
missioner Hayt to their condition, claims, and
necessities.
Commissioner Hayt made n general de
Tense of his administration of affairs in
the Indian Bureau, particularly as affected
the Utes. He claimed that much of the
matter of complaint charged against the
Bureau should be attributed to his prede
cessOr.
Lieut. Cherry, of the 5th Cavalry, Adjutant
of Mai. ThOrnburg's command, was before the
House Committee to- day and gave an inter-
esting history of the military movements.
He said that when Jack came to the camp at
he had come as a spy, and that after jacks
departure IThornburg said that if he
Judgment he would have held Jack
and his companions as hostages, as their
that if he did so, and trouble followed, it
would be charged all over the country that
to act under instructions of Agent Meeker
Lieut. Cherry was present at the conference
between Maj. ThOrnburg and the Indians, and
clear to the Indians that he intended to com
ply with their desire, and to halt
his force at some distance from
the Agency. It will be remembered
that the story which the Indians told to Gen.
Adams was that they thought the troops were
going to the Agency in violation of the prom
ise that they would stop short of it, while
ThOrnburgh went toward to hold q conference.
Lieut. Cherry also contradicted the statement
of Jack to Gen. Adams that the troops fired
first. He said that the first shot came from
the Indians and was aimed at him, while
ne was waving his hat in friendly manner,
inviting parley, and that from his own de-
mo attitude fTOODS
it was utterly impossible that the Indians
could have mistaken the waving of his hat for
a signal of attack. The shot aimed at Cherry

Not a Panorama.

An old man with a sachel and cane
Yesterday stood in front of the Detroit
Opera House for a long half-hOur, sur
veying the building with curious eye,
and he finally entered, walked up to the
box-of1icc and asked:
sWhat's the regular price to 60 in? -
"WelI, about six shillings," answered
Shaw.
s!In give you ten cents! -
The Treasurer hesitated for a while,
but finally took the money and told him
to 90 up. The old man went upstairs
to find every thing dark and deserted.
He took a seat, fixed his gaze on the
drop-curtain and didn't get tired out
for about half an hour. Then he
walked downstairs with slow and dig
nified step, put his head into the box
Office and said:
eff you call that a panorama then

and if folks come along and pay six
shillings to see it, there's a heap of fools
in this country! Good day!"1Detroit

PROF. L. B. ARNOLD advises skim
ming the milk as soon as sourness is per-
cep6ble, and to churn at 60 degrees in
stead of 20, before the cream gets very
old and sour. When the butter comes
in granules, enough cold water or brine
should be put in to reduce the mass to
about SO degrees, when, after a little
slow churning the granules win become
hard and distinct, and the butter be in
condition for washing out all the butter
milk. The salt should then be worked
in with as little labor as possible, and
after standing awhile it viii be ready to
pack.

FUNGI IN Mantle human ear is
sometimes attacked by disease which
shows itself in the form of a running
sore; in many cases the tympanum is
destroyed and hearing lost before the
nature of the malady is discovered. The
disease is due to the growth of a micro
scopic plant or fungus of the AspergiLlttS
family. 1t especially thrives when, from
any cause, the secretion of wax in the
ear is stopped or hindered. The micro
scope is valuable assistant in the dis
cOvery of this fungus. Consumption,
the most disastrous malady that affiicts
humanity, is now said to be caused by a
yeast plant that flOurishes in the blood.
The presence of this fungus in the blood
is readily shown by the microscope, and
now forms the subject of careful study
among physicians. DR.. Ephraim Cut
ter, M. D., of Boston, Mass, has devot
ed much labor to this subject, and, we
understand, has recently produced mi
cro-photographs of the fungus with
Tolles's remarkable 1-75 objective. We
believe that DIR. James H. Salisbury of
Cleveland, Ohio, was among the earliest
to detect and describe this curious yeast
plant of the Scientific american.

The yield per acre in 1889 was 1872
pounds, and in 1878 it was 119 pounds.
The yield last year can not be accurately
known until the close of the cotton year,
September l, 1880, but enough isnow known
to indicate that the yield must have been
over 200 pounds per acre. With the excep-
ton Of strip of land running nearly north
and south through Alabama, and another
through. small part Of Mississippi and Lou

By this time the crop is nearly all marketed.
In 1879, the receipts TO the end of June were
