salt ne Manure.


The Massachusetts, Agricultural So
ciety says that sal. has the property OF
fastening the maturing Of all grain
crops; that wheat on sslted land will
ripen six to ten days earlier than on I'M
sailed land, all other conditions being
equal; that il increases the yield from
twenty-five to fifty per cent; that IT
stiHens the straw and prevents rust and
smut; tina. it checks, il it does not en-
tirely prevent. the ravages OF the chinch
bug, and that there is no danger OF
mans pocket permitting him to put too
much salt upon his land, as two barrels
per acre will iniure no grain crop. The
best time to SOW salt is in the spring,
and it ought TO be the first thing done
on either fall or spring blowing. as
all after stirring OF the land assists IN
its equal distribution through the soil.
The best and easiest method OF sowing
salt in the absence OF machine for that
purpose is to SOW it from out the real
end Of a wagon, the sower using both
hands while the team is moving at a
slow walk. In this way thirty to forty
acres can be sowed in one day. The
quantity used may be from $50 to 300
pounds per acre, but the greater guam
tity is the better.

Farm and tsarden Notes.
Carrots fed with discrimination will
give a glossy coat to horse.
Remember this, that apples keep bet.
ter in damp, moist cellars than in dry
ones. In the latter they become dry
and shriveled; in the former plump and
Juicy.
Keep the fowls warm and dry, feed
some warm food, and give them Vs.
siety Of it. Take ont all the old hens
and keep only young ones, and the egg
basket will be well filed, even at this
season.
A correspondent asks how he can
best utilize the tops Of an acre OF tur-
hips, having no sheep. Give them to
young stock with hay or stalks. Put
them in heaps not so large rs to induce
heating. and they will keep long
time.
The weight Of hens eggs ranges from
fifteen to twenty-four ounces per dozen.
A weight Of twenty-five and half
ounces may be taken IS fair average
for good sized eggs, although weight
Of four ounces is not unknown for
single specimens Of eggs.
Stable manure is preferable to any
other fertilizer. No farmer can afford
to waste his manure. All OF it should
be saved and utilized. In many cases
farming would be more profitable il less
land was cultivated, sith higher fer
tilization. One acre highly maaured
should pay better than three bat half
MANFRED and half cultivated.

Sinmrd kifl1ns IN Favor.

In Boston lady has been quite ex-
tensiyoly engaged in preparing kittens
for The art market. She is studying for
the medical profession, and while de-
irving profit from her present pursuit,
learns something from her work in pre-
pairing the little animals for stuffng.
The first stuffed kitten that she saw
was imported from Italy, and as an eI-
pertinent she essayed the work. A
gentleman friend contrived a machine
which chokes six kittens AZ once, and
he is so tender hearted that he turns
his bead during their dying struggles.
The lady prefers to leave this part OF
the work to others than herself. She
recently stated that single firm had
purchased from her 3s1 stuffed kittens,
and that she had prepared over 500 in
ell for the market. st times kittens
of desirable size become so scarce that

ton of the section in which she lives.
The favorite colors are Maltese, gray,
and black and white, but all colors ap-
pear to find admirers. 1t is o curious
business for lady, but it pays, and her
work is appreciated by those who are
in search Of pretty novelties.

The Champien Eel Catcher.

Samuel Gaddis, who lives at the
Shutdown lock, Pa, on the Bucks
county side OF the Delaware river,
claims to be the champion eel catcher.
He brings home every morning from
600 to 1000 cells. caugh. during the
night. The only instrument he en-
ploys is large basket, which he made
himself. It has q wicker cover, with
spring that fastelas the cover whenever
it is shut down. He says be can tell,
even in the dark, where the cells are
swimming, and knows all their habits.
When they move out from some ditch
in the river bank, or squirm up from n
mud patch, they start up and down the
river in crowds. Ga,adis opens his
yawning basket and dives with it into
the thickest of the Iun Il takes only
a second to fill the basket, and then
down goes the lid. The bssket will
take in forty cells at time. Eels, Cad
dis says. are quiet in the day time, and
10 most II their travelling at night.
They move oil night, 80 that he is sure
Of q haul. Every time his bNsket Is
full ne empties it into the bottom Of
big cart which be keeps near the river,
aud there the cells remain until morn
ing when he sells them.

The Origin az Reg2ttas.

Apropos OF q recent article in the
PoR Mall Gazette, Q correspondent
writes, it may not be generally known
that Venice is the home Of regattas
vi ence they we're introduced into Eng
lard in It's. In the appendix to the
annual Register" Of that year viii be
10, md An article entitled. "Some Ac-
count Of the new Entertainment Called
. Regatta, Introduced from Venice into
ENGLAND in the Course OF the Year
IT'S" The event produced universal
excitement. The whole river side vas
crowded from London bridge to Mill
bank, and even Westminster hall was
desecrsted by q scaffold for spectators.
"Plans OF the regatta were sold from .
shilling to penny each, and songs on
the occasion sung. in which regatta
was the rhyme for Ranelagh, and
Royal Family echoed to Liberty.
The racing itself is dismissed with the
scanty information that "the wager
boats started on the eignal Of firing .
single piece of cannon, and that "they
were absent near ffty minutes"

Room IN New York.

A New York letter Of recent date
says: The death record last week was
79S, while the births were SIG, or more
than ne-quarter less. This shows how
rapidly New York would become ex-
tinct were it not for emigration, both
foreign and domestic. Almost every.
body feels attracted to the great
metropolis, and il they do not come
hither they are conscious Of the prompt.
ing OF desire. New York is now grow.
ing more rapidly than ever. and 70 one
can form any idea OF limiting its posi-
bility. The rece Mt calamity Of the fall
ing tenement house has occasioned the
condemnation Of Q LARGE number of tot.
tering rookeries, and this will lead to
marked improvement. How strange IL
seems that it is very difficult to get the
tenants to leave these condemned
houses! They seem Indifferent to
danger when compared with the trouble
in obtaining new quarters. What a
curse, indeed, overbangs the poor in
great city. especially in the difficulty in
finding a shelter! They are glad to get
o room in Helrs kitchen or other rock
cries, and it may be added that worse
buildings than such as are tolerated
here are not to be found in any other
city IN the world.

A White Man Who Turned Indian.

Sebasti n Beck, q German, who used
10 sell shoes in Chicago, has re-
turned after q si1-years' captivity among
the Sioux, in the course OF which he had
some curious adventures. In 1875 he
got Disguised with shoemaking and
went 70 the Black Hills with his wife and
two daughters, and there he was soon
captured by the ssvages. They gave
him his choice Of death or matrimony;
he chose the latter, aud was duly mar
ried 10 a young squsw, the ceremony
being simply joining hands before the
big chief. Sitting Bull. The Indians
celebrated the event by decorating
tree with scalps and skeletons, dancing
around il and making Beck repeatedly
swear that he hoped his own scalp and
skeleton might be added to the col
lection IL be deserted the new bride for
his pale face wife. BE took kindly to
Indian ways, however, and WAS soon
painted. given arms and made war
rior. getting the absolute confidence OF
his copper colored fellows by abandon
ing the washing habit. he was in many
fights with the Cheyennes and got some
scalps, and he saw the Custer massacre.
His station was at some little distance
from the fight, and after the butchery
was over . savage called Rain-in-the-
Face brought scalp with yellow hair
and bloody heart and said they be-

hurt many Indians" Beck Was with
Sitting Bull at the surrender last An.

cluded to return to civilization. His

among the red men, and with her

sits lszily under the halt-drawn curtain
that takes the place Of door to his
shop, waiting for customers. knowing
nothing of the world without; the
women. barefooted or in toe-slippers,

has q newspaper or a book; the somber
gondolier quarrels for an extra Gen.
tesimi from his passenger, but he never
heard OF America or OF England, and
has never read a word even OF his own

ever though she is but the dowerless
bride Of the Adriatic; proud that she
was once conquered by Napoleon; proud
of the church and square of st. Marks;
proud az the palace OF the Doges. with
its quaint Moorish Gothic architecture;
proud, for aught know, OF the Bridge
Of Sighs, ca prison and q palace on
