Egypt and the Cotton Trade.
With few intervals of short-lived reani-
lone OF the Manchester cotton trade has
been despondent ever since the Liver
pool cotton clique operations of twelve
months ago SO suddenly advanced the price
of the American staple. The serious reduc.
tion in the amount of last years crop (5.-
436, 900 bales, against $3.50 900 in 1SS0) has
prevented any very material reduction in
price since then, and the effect on Lancashire
has certainly been to restrict the Eastern
demand. 1t should be borne in mind that
some nine-tenths of the cotton NJ manufactured |
in this country are exported and that about |
one-haf OF our exports ind their way to the |
East, including the Levant. Consequently |
the Eastern markets are of importance to |
the trade and in no little degree may be said |
TO control 1t. The signs, which have be-
come visible during the past week or two,
that American cotton is falling in price have
a peculiar interest just now. The probable
damage infictt upon the Egyptian crop is
likely to restrict one OF our sources Of supply
Of fine cotton, and though India has during |
the past twelve mon his come o our aid in a
very satisfactory manner, Indian cotton is
an inferior commodity. That those manu-
factureIs who are saddled with large
stocks may for the time object 10 falling
markets is likely enough; but as our best
AMONG the POOREST hflohs, there can Sc lit
tie doubt that cheaper cotton will give us in
the end better custom. The movements in
prices in Liverpool and Manchester have /
been as follows since January, 1881, time
when the cotton industry was remarkably |
profitable:

An Exiraorainary Case.

A correspondent OF the London standard
tells how the Paris police recently unearthed
an individual of q most extraordinary type,
an old man named M. Leblond, who had
been arrested for completely in a crime.
"His miserable dress and generally wretched
appearance induced the belief that he was a
homeless vagabond. The police were, how
ever, much puzzled by the fact that he was
in possession of a number OF important
locking keys. Having extracted from Le
blond his address, NJ. Mace, the chief of
police, accomp panied him to the house indi-
Gated. To NJ. Mace's ssionishment he found
that this was one of the largest mansions
in the quarter of Camp Elysees. In
reply 10 inquiries, Leblond stated
that it lad belonged to his family for
over a century, and that he himself had
liyed there without sny servant, male or fe-
male, for the past fifteen years, his explana-
ton being that he wss misanthrope. On
entering the house and opening the shutters
NJ. Mace found it full Of the most costly
furniture, with a collection of old pictures,
clocks snd ether objects of art. In the prin-
cipaI bedroom was an antique rosewood bed
,stesd. the bed Of which was covered with
books and engraving. Upon the floor was
a M attress With dirty linen, the nightly rest
ing place of this modern Biogenes. Every
thing was covered with dust and dirt. On
proceeding into another part OF the mansion
N. Mace found a email theater with scenery
and costumes. NJ. Leblond states himself 10

A Potato Experiment.

A correspondent of the Home and
Farm gives the following experiment
with potatoes: .Last spring divided a
piece of land into two parts, one-third
and two-thirds respectively, which L
planted with snowflake potatoes. In
onc-third of the piece | put perhaps
more than one quart of sawdust to the
hill, placing the potatoes on the saw
dust and covering well with earth.
The remainder of the piece was planted
without sawdust. To my surprise.
when i had dug them, found that |
had obtained nearly as many bushels
from the onc-third part which had re-
ceived the sawdust as from the rest of
the piece. the one third part producing
larger, smoother and more marketable
potatoes from each hill than did the
two-thirds part. l do not think it will
have the same effect in all kinds of
soil, nor do think it will haSe the same
effect in the same soil every season.
The philosophy is this: Po atoes thrive
best in loose, mellow soil. and in sea-
sons not too wet. Therefore its eject
can be most eIlectually demonstrated,
and the contrass be greater if the eX
pertinent is tried in land that is apt to
bake and become hard, as the sawdust
VII allow the potato room to grow. 1t
doubtless will have the best effects in
wet seasons. for the sawdust will alb
sorb the wet to some extent, which will
cause the sawdust to rot. This will
furnish the potatoes with food, which
will be n substitute for manuring the
hills. The most practical mode of pre-
pairing the land for planting, is tn s.;
After having the land well plowed, mark
your rows Tor planting with Il plow,
making the burrows three feet apart,
and from three to five inches deep,
putting the sawdust in the hills accord
ing to the distance you wish the hills
apart, being arcful to cover the pota-
toes well. We think those whose ma
nurial facilities are limited, could use
sawdust to advantage rs it is good
material for mulching, and can be OBJ
tanned ut from one hall TO two cents per
bushel,n

Straw In the Mangcr.

1t is not at all difficult to rot down q
straw pile, and by so doing to germinatc
aud kill most of the weed seeds con-
tanned therein; by making the stack
very flat, so rs TO catch much water,
it rots rapidly and so soon as it gets
once thoroughly wettcd, by repiling, it
soon heats and decays. But the stack
or pile of straw at best contains car1on
and silica in quantities, and these are
the most common and least valuable of
all the elements of plant food. The
quantity of potash, nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid is very small indeed, and
there is no method by which this pile of
straw can in any way be changed into
manure containing any more of these
valuable elements than were in the
stack originally. If we tread this pile
down it will only be pile of wet straw,
and if we rot it ever so thoroughly, it
will only be smaller pile of thoroughly
rotted straw, and, at best. little better
than so much swamp muck.
1t is only by the use of straw as m
absorbent, and as coarser food for
fatten;ng animals, and by using with it
much rich food, such as corn, bran, oil
or cotton. seed meal, ETC., that we can
change it into manure that shall really
be very valuable to use, and that will
largely increase the crops where used.
| We must not expect that we can raise
large crops of grain year after year,
and sell the most valuable part, and by
| any method turn the straw into manure
that shall keep up the fertility of the
soil; if we manure only with straw, we
must expect to grow only straw upon
the land. 1t is unfortunate for b. A.
R., or sny other man, to be so situated
that he cinnot afford to raise stock to
eat up and tread down the straw, and
to be fed richer foods, so as to make a
full supply of rich manure. With any
system of farming we now have, tie
land must, sooner or later, become eX-
hausted and cease to yield profitable
crops if we fail to return to the soil the
essential elements of plant food removed
in such crops.-COr. N. Y. Tribune.

The Elnfhead Reservation.

Few probably know, unless they have
personally travelled over tho north
western portion Of our Territory,
that most OF the region now covered by
the Flathcad Indian rescrvation--a
scope Of country comprising 2,2i0
square miles. or 2, 1873, GOO acres-is pos
scssed of the most fertile soil to bc
found anywhere in Montana. Lying
between the forty-eighth and forty
ninth parallels of latitude, and stretch
ing away west from the foot of the
main range of the Rockies, the valleys
and rolling praires of the reserve have
an average altitude of between 5000
and 3, 100 feet, being 1000 feet
nearer sea level than the agricult-
ural lands in the vicinity of Hele-
ma. in consequence OF this favor
able depression in the face of the coun-
try, the climate is much warmer than
in other sections of the Territory, and
the giant mountain ranges by which the
locality is surrounded on all sides still
further conduce to temper the severity
of cold seasons by breaking the force of
the blizzards which sweep over the ex-
tcnsivc plains lying to the north and
east. The country is splendidly watered
