WASHINGTON, May 2S.-No further
information relative to & eneral Crook y
movements has been received at the
War department to-day. General
Drum is disposed to credit the report
that General Crook has engaged the
Apachcs and defeated them. Hethinkn
the stories to the effect that his Indian
scouts turned and massacred General
Crook and his commands are wholly
sensational and improbable. In the
first place" says General Drum, 10
one understands the Indian character
| tetter than General Crook, and he
! would be the last man to put himself
in position where such a thing would
| be possible. In the second place, the
| Indian scouts left their wives and chill
dren in the custody of the United States
authorities, and would not dare to mu-
tiny even if 80 inclined, knowing that
their families were held AS hostages.
And, again, had such thing happened
| should certainly ere this have received
reliable reports in regard to it.

Thorough Gardening.

a common error in management is to
occupy more garden ground than can
be well managed and well cultivated.
A square rod with a deep, rich soil,
thoroughly cared for, will give better
returns than half an acre full Of weeds,
and scant of half-grown, uneatable veg
etables. Set apart no more ground
than can be trenched or subsoiied,
thoroughly underdrained, well and
deeply manured, and kept clean and
mellow the season through. Many
gardens are too hard, and have heavy
soil. This may be improved and cor
rected by manure and deep tillage.
There is still another remedy, where
the material is at hand, and that is
sand. Draw on from one to four in.
ches, and spread over the surface. Try
it on limited scale, and observe its ef-
feet. Do not try to go over much
ground at once, but work thoroughly.
The sand will become gradually inter
mixed by cultivation, and it will stay
there century. 1t does not waste
away like manure; it can neither dis
solve nor evaporate.

That boiling starch is much improved
by the addition of sparm, or salt, or
both, or a little gum arabic, dissolved.
That table spoonful of turpentine.

greatly aid the whitening process.
That kerosene will soften boots and
shoes that have been hardened by wa.

That clear boiling water will remove

over the fabric.
That salt willourdle new milk, hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies,
etc., the salt should not be added until
the dish is prepared.
That kerosene will make your tea

will contract it in remarkably short
space of time, and no lot of sheep can
make money for their owner that are
lame and afflicted with this disease.
Sheep should not 60 out through muddy
yards to their pastures. A moderate
amount of bedding will keep sheep out
of the mud as they are not heavy
animal and will not poach up ground
like cattle. Lambs will commence to
eat grain at few weeks old and they
should be provided with separate pen
where they can be fed oats in trough.
BY making the passage to it small
enough to exclude the older sheep,
grain can be kept constantly before the
lambs, and they will if confined in this
pen several times, learn the way in,
and the additional growth produced by
this grain feed will soon be apparent in
the youngsters appearance.
Ticks on sheep are not looked upon
in any alarm by most farmers, but il
both sheep and lambs are kept free
from these troublesome parasite it will

CharcOal-Its Healthfalness.

There is no other one thing-unless
it possibly be sulphur-that will do so
much to preserve the health and growth
of hens, hogs and horses-in fact, most
farm animals-as charcoal placed in
their managers or pens, or any place
where The animals can have free access
to it and it is attended with small cost.
Horses have been known to be cured
of the "heaves" by having Jumps OF
charcoal in their managers, constantly,
for few weeks; and when it is pulver.
lied and placed in their feed, they viii
be less sure to have any distemper tC
which they are liable, and much lighter
than if they have no charcoal.
Pulverized charcoal sprinkled in tht
hen house during winter and spring
will secure the poultry against mucl
disease, aud if thrown in the trough o
pen will have the same good effect
with the hogs.
Similar healthful results to hens an,
swine are secured by sprinkliDga littl
sulphur in their pens and houses, one
a week or fortnight.

Clover,
Southern Industries.

Southern Industries.
We cannot urge too frequently upon
farmers the paramount importance of
this greatest and best of hay crops,
which, all things considered, has no
rival. AS soiling crop, it is vastly
superior to any other that has yet been
tested, For improving worn and
wasted lands, giving rest to that which
has been wearied and restoring life and
vitality to that from which fertility has
been exhausted, next to the pea it has
no equal in all the countless expert
ments made by practical and scientific
research. and with all Of its many ex.
cellencies and rare merits, there is no
crop SO universally neglected. A
wheat, rye or oat field should never be
sown without seeding to clover. If
either should produce only a partial
crop, the clover, if it catches" will
make good all losses, and in any event
the benefit II the land derived from
the clover will amply repay for the ex-
ira cost and labor.
In addition to seeding wheat, rye,
and oat crops to clover, we would also
urge that clover be literally mixed
with all other grass crops for the
meadow. 1t goes well with any and
all Of them, and it is a benefit in every
instance.
We consider spring seeding the better
and safer, as when sown in the fall il
may not get sufficiently rooted to stand
the freezes of winter. Our experience,
if it is desired to seed down to wheat
field, is to wait gntil the ground is set
tied in the spring and the hard trosts
have passed, then SOW six to eight
quarts of clover seed and four quarts
of timothy well mixed, followed by
narrowing, and then roll the ground.
When the clover plant begins to leaf
SOW two hundred pounds of plaster tc
the acre, With oats, the same quantity
of seed SHOULD be used, but after tht
oats are dragged in, imnead4tley put
on the roller, which is beneficial to botl
.gya1.:,. oats and clover; The application O
special benefit to the oats on dry land
Clover roots strike deep and bring W
the fertility of the ub-soil. 1t is con
sidered one of the best crops in the rota
ton to keep up the land. In mos
cases the first crop is cut for hay, anC
the next crop plowed pnderin the greer
state. The roots of well esiaplisheC
clover contain more weight Of dry mat
T ter than the crop above ground, ant
this accounts for the increase of fertilit,
, py plowing under. Let no farmer neg
lect the clover crop!

and what she has should be, if possible,
run through hay cutter to make it
short; for if the SOW has long bedding
she will make nest that will be so
high around the edges as to keep the
young pigs in it, and when the SOW
goes in and lays down she is opt to
crush the little ones, as it is difficult for
them to get out of her way. With
short bedding they can more readily
work away from their mother if she
crowds them. We have provided our
breeding pens with rail made out of
2x4 scantling, setting it from to 8
inches above the floor and from 4 to 6
inches away from the wall on all sides.
This affords the little pigs protection
to run under and get out of the way
of the sow when she lies down.
The SOW should be provided with soft
feed so as to have her bowels loose be:
fore she pigs. If a SOW is cOstiVe at
the time Of pigging she is very apt to
kill and eat her pigs, while if her bow
els are loose and in good shape she will
not do so. By attending to the feed
for two or three weeks prior to her con,
fnement the bowels can be put in right
condition. Where the SOW is running
on grass, without much other food, she
will probably be right in this particu
lar; If upon dry feed, and roots are ac
cessihle, they will be found very bene
fetal if fed at this time. Green feeC
that is, clover pasture-during the
summer, will be found the cheapest anC
best food for stock hogs. There is M
advantage in crowdiDg grain into breed
ing sows, but If The little ones can bt
provided with plenty of milk and brar
it will be found profitable in the end
as the pig, to make the largest weigh
at the earliest date, must be kept grow
ing from the day it is born.
