New Anecdote of Greeley.

Shortly after the passage of the Four
teenth Amendment, Il movement in
which Mr.. Greeley had taken consider
able interest, a large darky, who had
called several times at tho Tribune of.
flee, came into Mr.. Greeley's private
room while he was busily engaged in
writing. Now, if there was n one thing
that was we'll understood around the
Tribune office it was that Mr.. Greeley
was not to be interrupted in the midst
of his thought. When he was seen to be
busy, with his face down to his paper.
and his pen running rapidly from left to
right across the sheet, no one around
the office had the hardihood to speak to
him. Butthis colored gentleman marched
straight up to his elbow, and with a large
gold-headed cane under his arm, and a
hne broadcloth coat buttoned
close around his breast, he broke right
IN: : say, Mr.. Greeley, L
thought l would call and talk
with you, sab, about adj
vlsing de cullud people to study de sci
ences." MIR. Greeley's face assumed a
he was writing on, and his hand kept
going across it from left to right. with
greater rapidity than before. The
cheeky freedman was not to be put ont
OF time in this way. He therefore spoke
again, and in a slightly louder tone Of
voice than before: Il thought / would
ask you" he continued, "to write a med
itorial advising the cullud people to study
the sciences" Still the great editor
wrote on. On the third repetition Of
the remark, Mr.. Greeley, laid down his
pen, and, looking up hastily. exclaimed:
u away! Go to HI Go over into
New Jersey, and go to raising potatoes!'

and sodium-which whom combined in
certain proportions form salt-are found
in all plants and in the blood and Sc
cretions of all animals, as we'll as in the
flesh. Animals that feed upon vegeta-
bles do not as a rule get a sufficient
quantity of salt, as may be inferred from
the eagerness with which they seek and
take it. The gastric juice, formed large
ly of hydroclloric acid and salt, is the
agent which supplies this to the stomach,
If salt were not. supplied, an animal
would first suffer from Indigestion, then
from disorder of the blood and no doubt

HOUSE AND FARM,
Miscellaneous Farm Notes.

A good mixture for pasture is five
pounds of orchard grass, four pounds of
timothy, six pounds of red.top, two
pounds of meadow fescue, two pounds
OF yellow oat grass, and one pound of
white clover, it a be sown with oats
as we'll as o%thergrain, but the oats should
be rather thln-not more thantwo bush.
els per acre.
Rich garden'soil that has been man.
ured with stable manure for several
years requires a change of fertilizers. It
becomes filled with organic matter and
needs more mineral. Wood ashes or
fresh lime, or both ofthem, would sup
ply what is needed. When the land is
very rich TOO much of these can scarcely
be used; a bushel to the square rod
would be too much. Carrots and beets
require lime and ashes especially, and
peas and beans also are benefited by
them. Either may be applied on the
surface and narrowed in the soil before
planting.
saltpe're has been found an excellent
lnsecticide in some instances, and this
salt Is also a good fertilizer, and there
lore answers a double purpose. One
tablespoonful Of saltpetre dissolved in a
pall OF warm water is a most valuable
solution will which to sprinkle cabbage
plants infested with the caterpillars Of
the cabbage butterfly. Several applica-
lions will usually be necessary, for the
butterflies remain a long time, and the
females visit the cabbages daily to de-
post their eggs, from which the cater.
pillars are Matched in succession during
the early summer as we'll as autumn
months.
The dairy is a safer business than
keeping sheep and freer from some Pc
culiar risks incident to sheep keeping.
A COW should return $50 a year and
seven sheep should be kept where one
cow can be. But a sheep will not re-
turn ~ in a year, except in those cases
in which the lambs can be sold at high
prices as early market lambs and the
sheep can be sold as mutton. The dairy
business car be carried on anywhere, as
the freight IN butter is small, and if it is
conducted with skill a much larger in
come than $50 year may be secured.
For these reasons, as a rule, dairying is
better business than keeping sheen.

Hair that has once been completely
destroyed cannot be recovered. Hair
grows froma root or bulb that is envel-
oped in a gland known as the hair
f~o!licle: this is situated in the dermis or
true skin. 1.-THE epidermis only is des-
troyed these hair follicles remain unin-
jured, but if the whole skin is destroyed
. new growth will either have no fol-
licles in it OF ones that produce white
hair from the absence of the usual pig
ment cells which color the hair. Ifthe
follicles are not reproduced nc hair can
be grown; but if they are there, but
weak and dormant, they may be made
active by, the application of stimulant,
such as alcohol with one-twentieth part
of tincture of cantharides, rubbed into
the skin.

Agricultural Department Sta
tiSticS.

Mr.. J. r. Dodge, Statistician Of the
Agricultural Department, in his report
lately published, concludes that no
country in the world has such excel
lent agricultural machinery a the United
States; hence we import no goods ofthat
sort, for those in use in England, France,
Germany and other countries would be
cumbersome and worthless here owing
to the antiquity of their style and me-
chanism. The farm census in the re-
port gives the aggregate value Of the
livestock in the States and Territories
as $500, 53s, l47. The average value Of
horses is $70.59: of mules, $79.49; Of
mich COWS. S30.2I; Of other cattle, S21. so
Of sheep, $2.55; of swine, s6.75. These
figures show an increase of $12.O7 on
horses, $S.14 on mules, 1892 on mich
cows and $l.20 on swine during the year.

an expression Of great contempt, he ex-
claimed in the Sioux tongue:
