ShOddy 4 co. in New York.

New YORK, Dec. ll.-Ex-Governor
Stanford, of California, has rented the
old residence of Vanderbilt on Fifth
avenue, and will spend the Winter
here. His wife is reported to have the
finest diamonds in the city, except Mrs.
John Jacob Astor. She improved the
opportunity presented by a fashionable
wedding in an uptown church the
other day to show them all on her per.
sou at one time. Many ladies present
thought it strange place to appear
quite so brilliantly bedecked, but perhaps
envy was quite an element in their criti-
cisms. The lady wore magnificent
necklace of diamonds, while below it,
extending from shoulder to shoulder,
was row Of splendid gems four inches
deep; and, as if this were not enough
to make decided sensation, the lady's
ears, head, arms and dress were ablaze
with jewels. The moneyed men of
the Pacific coast are still coming here
in considerable numb bers, many of them
to reside permanently. Having made
their money amidst new civilization,
they come here to find the most pleasant
ways of spending it.

at previous meeting on the tariff on
lead and lead ores. Professor L. f.

important matter, and that they send
delegates TO cooperate with the dele

Pnesion Matters
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE report
of the Commissioner of Pensions for the
fiscal year which ended June 80, 1882,
has been issued. Commissioner Dudley
says the bounty and land laws should
be generally remodeled and simplitied.
Congress should give thoughtful con-
sideration to the entire question regard
ing pensions, making disability rather
than rank the measure of the pension,
officers and men having been drawn |
from aud returned to the same walks
of civil life. There are now III differ |
ent grades of pensions. 1t ia proposed
to give the officer the benet of his
actual rank. As an act of simple JUS
tice it is recommended also, in order
to place al! war claims more nearly upon
the same footing. that the limitation
n section 47l3 be removed, so that
cases barred by the three years limita-
ton shall have their date of commence
nent at the time of filing the applica-
lion rather than that of the filing of the
asst piece of evidence. Widows and
Invalid soldiers of the regular army and
navy. whose rights accrued since June
30, 1880, should be allowed a reason
Ible time in which to file their applica-
ions. A yearly salary of S., 600 is re.
commended for pension agents. Speak.

missioner expresses regret that no pro-

The Dogs Memory.

The Salt Lake Tribune says:-Day before yesterday some wretch tied tin kettle to the tail of John Fallon's dog. The dog started of with the kettle about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and after running up Park City and down to Pennington, came back in the evening without the kettle and very much fatigued. The guests of the Clift House extended their consolation to the dog, who was manifestly in need of sympa- thy. Everything went we'll with the dog until about g o'clock, when a young lady from Juab was requested to play "The Irish Patrol" on the piano. She played the faint, weird music of the opening bars, when the dog began to prick up his ears. The girl strolled by degrees into the heavier staccato pas. sages which indicates the near approach of the advance guard, and with a yelr of terror he rose up and went through the window, taking sash, panes and all under the plausible impression that the tin kettle was again advancing upon him from the rear. The dog ran to the Jor
 dan and shielded by drowning.

Deceiving the Public.

Chemists say that absolute cleanliness is essential to the manufacture of oleo. margarine. Its fitness for human food is also attested by scientific authority. There is no reason, therefore, why peo- pie should not be allowed to make and eat it.
 But the trouble is, says the New York Ledger, this foreign stu if is sold as but ter, and price is obtained for it about five times as large as the customer would pay if he knew he was buying oleomargarine.
 Strenuous efforts have been made so to regulate the trade by law that the sale of oleomargarine as butter would be impossible; but the difficulty which even experts find in distinguishing the spurious from the genuine butter has proved a serious obstacle to success.
 No trade ought to be tolerated whose existence depends upon deceiving the public.

The Sardines.

At recent meet ing of the French Academy of Science, the change which seems to have occurred in the French climate during the last few years formed one of the chief topics of discussion. It was remarked that the sardine fish cry. which regularly brought in to the Breton population $3,000, 0,O00 per an mum, had now become thing of the past, the sardines having completely disappeared from the coasts. M. Bla. vier attributed the mildness of the win ter and the precocity of the spring to the altered direction of the Gulf stream, but no definite opinion on this subject was pronounced. Before, however, the members separated, committee com posed of NM. Faye, Janusen, Daubree and Admiral Jurien de Ia Graviere was appointed to study the problem of the Gulf stream.

He told the tenant that he wanted the house, but would give him better one, at the same time giving the number ard street of the house. The tenant, elated at the prospect of bettering his condition, pro- cured wagons and loaded up his furni- ture at once, but on driving to the new location he found it occupied, and also learned that his late landlord had noth- ing to do with it whatever. The tenant had to seek other quarters, and now he threatens to bring suit for. damage, based on charge of false pretense.

FARM AND GARDEN.

FERTILIZERS NEEDED BY CoRN.- Something of importance in regard to fertilizers for corn has of late years been learned. The chemical compost tion of the corn crop shows that large amount of nitrogen is contained in it; consequently it was inferred that fertil- izers for corn should be rich in nitrogen. The Stockbridge formula for corn fer tilizer sufficient for yield of fifty bush els per acre contained sixty -four pounds of nitrogen, which at twenty cents per pound, would cost SIP. 80, or over twen- ty-five cents per bushel of corn for ni- trogen only. Other fertilizers had to be used along with the nitrogen, so that the total cost of fertilizers was about fifty cents per bushel of corn, or nearly as much as the lowest market price of corn. Certainly there was not pros- pect of much profit from corn raising on such basis. Prof. Atwater of the Connecticut Experiment Station has shown by his own experiments at the analysis of other experiments that, generally, nitrogen is less important than other fertilizers in corn growing, and that corn in some way seems capa- ble of obtaining it's own supply of ni- trogen either from soil or air. Out of 15O carefully constructed experiments in the use of nitrogen in corn raising, the crop was increased enough to pay the cost of the nitrogen in only thirty of the number. With the use of mineral fertilizers alone, the crop gathered about sixty pounds of nitrogen per acre. Phos- phoric acid as fertilizer for corn was found to take the leading place; some. times potassa proved to be the most useful, and in a few instances nitrogen ranked first in importance. In experi- ments performed by Prof. J. w. San. born, of the New Hampshire Agricul- tural College, the yield of corn in 1878 was increased; in 1879 it was dimin- ished, and in 1880 it was not materially aided by the use of nitrogen. Joseph Harris, in his "Talks on Manures, J says: "Now, it would seem that Indian corn can get more nitrogen out of Q soil than wheat, barley or oats, and 10 this extent, at least, we may consider Indian corn renovating crop" If corn gen. erally can obtain its own nitrogen from the soil or air, it IS highly important that farmers should bear that in mind and not be at the expense of purchasing costly nitrogenous fertilizers for cror which does not need them.
 IMPROVED METHODS OF CULTIVATION One serious obstacle to corn raising 1T 1 the East has been the cost of cultiva tion. When cultivation was done largely with the hand hoe, cheap corn raising was not attainable. But now, by tn. adoption of methods by which planting is done with planters operated by horse. and hoeing with horse hoes, the cost O cultivation has been greatly reduced The cost of cultivation in the East nov need not very much exceed the cost O the same in the West, as the better markets of the East afford an advantag, which will do much toward compensat ing for the cost of necessary fertilizers With the proper selection of seed, tn, use of fertilizers suited to the crop, ant the use of horse instead of hand culti vators, the yield of corn can be in creased and the cost of production diminished.
