AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Most foods are best in combination
than alone.
Prof. Budd notes the fact that NJ
trace of blight of pear or. apple cal
be seen in Europe.
Early stall feeding in the fall vii
make the winters progress more Ger
tain by 80 per cent.
Most animals eat in proportion te
their weight, under average condi
tions of age, temperature and fatness
Every animal that chews the cue
must have bulk; it is not enough tC
give sufficient nutritive value in small
quantities--the stomach must be
filed to give material for ruminat
ing.
Every day an animal is kept after
being prime, there is loss, exclusive
of manure. The external evidences
Of primness are full rumps, fanks
twist, purse, shoulder, vein and eye
A correspondent of the Rural Ne,,
Yorker claims that the Washington
oats are identical with variety in
troduced some years ago into western
New York, and known as Early Som
ersctshire.
Buildings are being erected on the
Iowa Agricultural College farm for
the purpose of experimenting with
sorghum, and also building for
cold storage, or preservation of an
imal and plant food in cold, dry air.
A member of the Elmira Farmers
Club recently stated that he would
buy shaved pine shingles at $5 or Sc
per thousand rather than sawed
shingles at SO, believing the former
would last enough longer to make
up the difference.
Moist and tolerably cool climates
are best adapted to the production
of grass and other pasture crops.
Ever since the settlement of the
country, most of the cities in the
South have been supplied with hay
raised in the Northern States
Give fattening cattle as much us
they will eat, and often-tive times a
day. Never give rapid changes of
food, but change often. A good guide
for safe quantity of grain per day
to maturing cattle is one pound to
every hundred of their weight; thus,
an animal weighing 1000 pounds may
receive ten pounds of grain.

dairy products of the United States

PREMIUMS FOR THE BEST ORANGES AMI
LEMONS.

The Rural Californian. a new pub
ication eminating from Los Angeles,
George Rice editor, offers 500 for the
best orange and $50 for the best
lemon. That paper says:
The editor of the Rural Cab fornion
has growing on his grounds at Pasa-
dena twenty imported orange and
four lemon trees, said to be the best
varieties grown in the world.
The importations have been secured
after a great deal of trouble and con
siderable expense, with view to i'm
proving, if possible, over the orange,
and especially the lemon. now grown
in Southern California. The trees
are growing in tae finest possible con
dition, absolutely free from scale, in
sect or disease. Tho varieties are all
new, except a few, whose names are
now applied to oranges grown here,
but about which there is some doubts
as to their being true to name.
The publishers OF this journal offer
one hundred dollars for the orange
and fifty for the lemon grown from
the buds taken from these trees that
will take the premium at the River
side Citrus Fair over any and oil other
varieties, the terms and conditions to
be published hereafter.
Buds will be furnished free by us
to all applicants Us long as they hold
out. Applications for buds should
be addressed to the Rural Cdiifor-

Der of varieties and when wanted
not more than five different kinds to

THE FOUR COMETS OF THE YEAR.

In plain fact, there have been but
four comets seen thus far in 1882
The first celestial vagrant of the year
was discovered by Mr.. Wells of the
Dudley University, March 18th, and
for a long time it monopolized the at
tention of astronomers in both the
Old and Now World, owing to its
unique features. Although the
period Of tho Wells comet has not
yet been fully calculated, enough is
known to show that the comet will
not return for thousand years. The
second comet of the year was seen
but once, and then for only short
time, by the astronomers who were
observing the suns eclipse from
Egypt last spring. 1t was described
in brief dispatch, which noted the
success of the observation of the
eclipse, as ''fine, bright comet close
to the sum-" and astronomers for
long time watched for its appearance,
on the supposition that it would be
visible on its return from perihelion,
but without success. The third comet
of the year was discovered on the
morning of September 18th, and duly
chronicled by Professor Barnard OF
Nashville, Tenn. At first, owing to
the place of its discovery, in the con
stellation of the Twins, it was pre-
sumed by some to be the reappear
ance of the famous Pons comet OF
1872, but this was subsequently,
shown to be an erroneous supposition'
owing to its direction of motion. The
Barnard comet, which was, at the
time of discovery, faint telescope
object, about one and one-half seconds
of arc in diameter, is now approach
ing perihelion, which it will affair
about the 7th of November. At its
brightest it will be about three times
as large as when first SEEM Albany
Argus.

A STORY is told by a st. Louis rail
road man of foreigner, which illus
trates the scarcity OF the pass in the
old country. The foreigner is a
Welshman. He wrote to his relative
here for information as to how he
should travel from Cleveland west
ward. A pass was got over the Bee
line and mailed to him. A letter was
received acknowledging the receipt
of the pass, but to the disgust of the
gentleman who procured it, the docu-
ment was found nailed on the end of
the travellers trunk, while full fare
had been paid. The Welsh cousin
explains that across the water brass
checks were used very seldom. the
pasted label taking its place. He
supposed the pass was for the trunk
to be carried to the destination of the
owner.

ICELAND's CoNDITIoN.-It would be
hard to find stronger illustration OF
the difficulty of ascertaining the real
condition of community popularity
supposed to be in distress than has
lately been affored by the statements
about Iceland. The strong appeal
for the brave people Of that bleak
land aroused universal sympathy, and
on September 28th the London Re
lief Committee dispatched for their
assistance cargo of provisions and
fodder worth SIS, 900. On the follow
ing day, in letter to the Times, G.
E. PatersonIdeclared that his brother,
the British Consul for Iceland, had
received no information indicating
distress; and that he himself, in
tour around the island just ended,
observed no indication of it. Not q
whisper reached him of starvation,
the animals said to be perishing
were in good condition, and
the hay crop said to have failed
was visibly an excellent one.
On the other hand, the Deputy Gov
ernor of Iceland, in letter OF Sep
tember 14th, stated that the north Of
the island was especially in need OF
relief, and the British Minister in
Copenhagen believed in the distress.

THE NEW TEMPERANCE MOVERS.

A correspondent of the Nation has
this to relate of the Salvation Army
in London:
When / went to one of their meet
ings in the Scarborough few weeks
ago, the chief attraction was an old
woman named Jane Johnson, said to
be over eighty years of age, and who
was announced to have been in prison
two hundred and forty three times (if
L recollect aright) for being drunk
and disorderly and assaulting the
police. The poor old thing, whose
age seemed to refute the doctrine
that intemperance shortens life, gave
sort of address, which so far as one
could follow it-for she had lost her
teeth and spoke an exceedingly
strong North country dialect-was O
narrative of various adventures that
had befallen her in getting tight"
as she expressed it; and of conse-
quent conflicts with the officers OF
the law, all of which excited merri-
ment among the audience. There
was lady, described on the wall
posters as ''the Yorkshire Nightin-
gale" who sang hymns in a strong
and sweet voice, the army joining in
as chorus; and good many short ex
tempore prayers were offered, and
addesses delivered by various persons,
while. CALCULATIONS of "Bless the
Lordw. and "Hallelujahp resounded
from all quarters of the hall In
fact, it was much like one of your
.camp-meetings The most striking
thing was the absence Of anything
that could be called theology or dog
ma. Although the doctrines of the
Army are like those which are to be
heard in our Methodist and Baptist
pulpits, and which were preached by
Mr.. Moody when he came here on
his revivalist mission, there was far
less attempt to set them forth con-
nectedly, much less to prove them
out of the Bible, than Mr.. Moody
made. Considered as a contribution
to religious life and thought, the Sal
vation Army has no Importance, and
it is one of the most curious symp-
toms of our condition that when a
movement of this kind arises, it should
have absolutely nothing new to say.
As to it's practical value, peoples
opinions, of course, differ as they are
more or less shocked by its offences
against good taste, such as the motto,
'.Blood and fire." which it has adopt
ed. Some apprehend mischief from
the violent physical excitement into
which it throws the newly converted,
or hold that by producing antinomi-
anism it may even increase vice.
Others think that the reclamation of
a certain number of drunkards and
criminals, even for a time, is clear
gain which may outweigh contin-
gent evils. Meantime the Archbishop
of Canterbury subscribes Is to help
it to turn low theater into Sbar-
racks; and General Booth, its COM
mander-in-chief, originally a Metho-
dist minister, is one of the most con-
spicuous figures of our day.

Total pounds for twelve states

The figures for all the States and
Territories show that these twelve
States produced just about three
fourths of all the butter produced in
the country. The total production
then was 740, ,299, 1856 pounds. The
average value is stated low at 16S
cents per pound, or six pounds to the
dollar. This gives total value of
$123,3S3,2I4 1t is about one-half the
value of the average cotton crop of all
the cotton growing States. and three
times the value of an average Califor-
MIA wheat crop.

MURDER OF PoBEGuIN.
Thursday, March 31.--The column
continues its march, after having dug
up the money and other objects bur.
led. Meanwhile the three men fol
lowing Pobeguin's tracks overlook
him at Hassi ell Hadjapj. Pobeguin
seeing that the men he had begged
to bring him water were long time
returning, had attempted to drag
himself as far as the well. aud had
followed a different route from that
of the column. When the three men
find him he is almost dying of thirst,
and can only speak with the greatest
pain. Belkasem ben Zebla tells Mo-
hammed ben Mohammed that he in
tends to kill Poheguin tiohammed
ben Mohammed protests against do
ing it. A quarrel ensues. which ends
by Belkasem ben Zebla firing his Re.
volver at Mohammed ben Mohammed,
but only wounding him in the fore
arm. Then Belkasem ben Zebla fire
five other shots at Pobeguin, who is
lying under a retem. After this he
cuts up Pobeguin's flesh, and all three
depart.
The column continues its march in
the afternoon.
RESCUE OF THE SURVIVORS.
Friday, April Leave early in
the morning.
Two men remained behind. One
of these, Abhallah ben Mohammed,
cannot keep up, and will be rescued
later on by one of the El Mesegguem
maharis dromedaries of the finest
breeds. Trans.
March from morning until evening
The money is again buried in order
to Tighten the march. Ell Bedina ben
Thomas remains behind--cannot keep
up.
After marching nearly all night, ar
rive near FL Mesegguem in the morn
ing, and see a shepherd guarding
herd of camels. This shepherd states
that Radja's tents are pitched at El
Masegguem. Arrive there soon after,
and the unfortunate are cared for by
Radja, and furnished with all the
necessities demanded by their miser-
able condition.
Two days after the arrival the sur
vivors of the Flatters mission request
Radja to let them have cameis to re-
turn to Hassi-el Hadjadi, in order to
recover their money and other ef-
fects. In spite of their desire to go
alone, Radja insisted upon going
with them. and on arriving he be-
holds the irresistible evidence of the
horrible occurrences which had
taken place. At the we'll he found
one tirailleur of the Third Regiment
of Spaphis s-Khalifo ben Derradji-
who would certainly have been killed
by his three comrades. but for the
presence of Radja,
This man had such horrible fear
of his old comrades that he positively
refused to leave Hassi el-Hadjad un
til they had taken the road to
Ourargla. On returning to El Meseg-
guen, Radja and the spaphis en-
countered fourteen horsemen of the
Ouargla mdgshen, who escorted all
the survivors to Inefel, where the
Khalifd Of the Agha was, and thence
to Ouargla, where they arrived on
the 28th Of April.

Drunkard's Thrilling Act-Clfmbtng a
 Lofty Steeple to Crown the Cross.
 LEWISTON, Nov. GA thrilling incident was witnessed here Saturday. The painters who are at work on St. Joseph's church have raised chain of ladders to the top of the spire. While the workmen were at dinner some passers by saw man climbing the lad ders, now and then waving his hat and ut- tering a strange shout. It became evident that he was intoxicated. The form was soon recognized as that of drunken ragman. He seemed impelled by an insane desire to reach the cross at the summit of the steeple. He mounted ladder after ladder. A crowd gathered. At times the climber wavered, and all who saw him thought he would fall and be dashed to pieces He gained the cross, put his hat on it and then began his descent. Two men went up and helped the fellow. and but for this timely assistance he probably would have fallen. The crowd watched with eager eyes until he reached the ground pale and disordered and staggered off after one delirious shout of exultation.

Preparing For War in Time of Peace.
 BERLIN, Nov. G.-The ministry of war has ordered the Baltic forts to be extended and strengthened at once and directed the con- struction of earthworks and batteries to protect the harbor of Memel at the north end of the German empire. The erection of earthworks to defend the karbor of Pillau at the entrance of Frische Hoff, and the ex- tension and completion of Notifications in eastern Prussia, especially those at Posen, are also ordered. An explanation of the action of the German military authorities may be found in repeated warnings received from the Russian embassy at St. Petersburg as we'll as from unofficial sources reporting the rapid growth of a warlike policy in Rus- sia. The recent heavy concentration of troops on the Russian frontier causes serious apprehension here and in Vienna, as it is be- lleved to foreshadow design on the part of Russia to embark in some adventure. Some members of the general staff entertain rather startling theories on this subject The re strictive operations of Germany's tariff have seriously affected trade in the Baltic prov inces. Much traffic has been diverted to the Russian open ports. Several German towns have suffered considerable loss of population from this cause and the discontent among the agricultural and trading class is wide spread. Whatever Russia's intentions may be, Germany will be found ready at all points should their lilly concealed antagonism come to the arbitramsnt of war.
