How Perfume is Extracted.

One of the best methods of obtaining
perfumes is by the use of grease.
The process is called mac"ration.
The best fat employed is marrow,
which is melted in water bath and
strained. While it is still warm the
flowers are thrown in and left to
digest for several hours. They are
then taken out and fresh ones are
placed in the grease. This is contin-
ued for several days. The grease and
perfume are then separated by the use
of alcohol. Beef marrow is not the
only substance used in extracting the
odors from the flowers. Inodorous
acids are also used, especially refined
olive oil, which is more extensively
employed in the south of Europe.
The process used for delicate plants,
such as jessamine, tuberose and cassia,
which will not allow the use of heat, is
IN the principle of absorption. A
layer of purified lard and such mixture
is spread on the glass bottom of a
square wooden box, and upon this
freshly gathered flowers are spread
every morning as long as the flower is
in bloom. The boxes are kept shut,
and the grease soon acquires very
strong odor. In saturating oil, instead
of glass bottoms to the boxes wire
ones are used, upon which cloths soak
ed in oil are laid, and the boxes or
frames are piled upon each other to
keep them close. After the oil-soaked
cloths are sufficiently charged with the
perfume, they are placed in press
and the oil is squeezed out.

Strange Condolences,

In the small town of ZeitZ, in Prus-
sian Saxony, lived two women, Frau
Schmidt and Frau Feustel, occupying
adjoining rooms in the same house. In
February, 1881, each was made on the
same day the mother of triplets, all
boys. This was decidedly curious
coincidence in births. The Rev. Mr..
Busch, of Winona, Mimi. whose five
children were all born on Sunday, has
been the subject of some newspaper
paragraphs, but his case is less note
worthy than that Of a resident of Mid
dletown, Conn, three of whose children
have the same birthday-NOv. 10. a
less remarkable coincidence is noted
in the case of Mrs. William Mining,
of Mount Auburn, O., who celebrated
on one day the anniversary of her birth,
of her wedding and of the birth of a
grandchild. Why should accident have
ordained that the same company of
minstrels should have visited Washing
ton on the day that President Garfield
was inaugurated, on the day that his
remains were borne in state to the
capitol, and on the day that the grafton
was pronounced upon him by Mr.
Blaine?
An odd coincidence was reported not
long ago. In 1862 a fire destroyed the
city of Kingston, Jamaica. On the day
of the fire Aaron de Cordova was born,
Aaron de Cordova's grandfather was
the first man on the island who erect
ed building. After the fire three
months ago in the same place the pres
ent Aaron de Cordova was the first
man who erected building. 1t was a
curious fate which ordained that the
son of the Austrian Baron Carl Won
Hofer, and Andreas Hofer's great
grandson, should perish by bullet dis
charged during a rifle match, being the
fifth member of this distinguished
family slain by such wound. Three
years ago one Lewis Hiltz, of indie
pendence, Mo-, killed Joseph Melody,
but was acquitted on the ground of in
sanity. Two years later, on the same
day and at :he same hour he received
fatal sunstroke on the same spot
where he committed the crime. Coin
cidences relative to deaths are numer-
Gus if not always very noteworthy
On April 10, 1882, Edward Goss
was buried at Troy, in this state, from
the same house at which, in 1870, the
same clergyman had buried his brother
James. Both brothers died on the
same day of the month at the same
hour.

Warts are cutaneous disease; they
consist of tumors formed by an en-
larged growth of the papilla of the
skin, which is covered by thickened
epidermis. They are vascular and are
provided with blood vessels and nerves,
exeeptingon the hardened surface 1t
is probable that they are parasitic in
their nature, and constitutional and
contagious. The most effective remedy
is to destroy the diseased growth by
caustics, as carbolic acid, nitric acid,
nitrate of silver, or sulphate of copper,
and to dress the wound produced by
ordinary means-as with tincture of
benzoin-until new, healthy skin is
formed. A continued course of anti
septic and Alternative medicine might
be useful-as half-ounce doses of hy-
posulphite of soda daily.

Ensilage.

Professor Voelcker, the foremost
agricultural chemist of England, is to
be counted among the latest converts
to the system of saving green fodder
in silos Mr.. Atkinson of Boston, sent
him two casks-one of maize fodder,
the other of rye-of which Professor
Voelcker returns analyses, and, what is
of more Importance, the report that
the substances reached him in good
condition, the maize fodder being per-
fectly sound, the rye very slightly
moldy. He adds that, while he prefers
the maize to the rye, both remained
perfectly wholesome food for cattle,
and the bulk of what had been sent
him from the neighborhood of Boston
was fed, with little cotton-seed meal
to COWS on an experimental farm. The
animals "took to the ensilage at once
and liked it much
On this Mr.. Atkinson relates that he
mas himself kept two COWS from fall
feed to summer pasture on the ensilage
got from half an acre of good land; and
he believes that with careful manage
ment four cows can be kept to the acre
Of ensilage, with proportion of cotton
seed meal added, and maintained in
good condition. He makes two sug-
gestions which seem to us valuable to
small farmers and to those engaged in
the transport Of cattle across the ocean.
"The fact that fodder could be taken
from the pits, PACKED in casks and sent
to England in good condition is sugges-
tive: First, as to the feeding of live
cattle in crossing the sea. Would not
good corn fodder, packed in casks, be
better than hay, and more suitable,
bulk for bulk? Second, may not per-
sons who live in city or village raise
fodder at some distance, permit it to
wither on the field, so as to lose it's
elasticity, and then pack it in flour bar
rels or sugar barrels, using lever to
press it, to be brought in from the
farm to the city or village, as needed
for the family cow?"
Why should not farmers near villages
and towns make a profitable business
of preparing and selling ensilage to
those who keep COWS but have too lit
tie ground for their maintenance the
year round? Such persons now buy
dry feed. Why would they not prefer
TO buy ensilage? There is here hint
for new industry which would give
added value to land near towns and
villages and profitable employment to

Peas for Hogs.

There are several important advan-
tages to be gained by the introduction
of pea culture aside from a direct profit
derivable from them when fed to hogs.
There are but few better rotation
crops than peas. A crop of peas leaves
the soil in a fine condition for wheat.
Beside, the manure from hogs fed on
peas is'regarded as superior to almost
any other kind. They may be grown
and fed to hogs profitably either in a
green or matured state Peas are
cheaply grown and do not require the
richest soil; and, owing to their hardy
nature, they can be sown very early in
the season, thereby assisting in the de-
struction of troublesome weeds. If the
object is to grow them as a green crop
or a crop to be fed by allowing the
hogs to gather them, they should be
sown either at different dates or the
seed should be of different varieties, so
that the times of maturing will not
fall together. If, however, the object
be to grow them to feed after maturity
and after they have been harvested,
threshed, ETC., the seed may be of ohe
variety. The time for sowing should
be regulated somewhat by the season.
If sown to be gathered by the hogs,
oae and one-half bushels is about right,
for inethat case early varieties are
used; but in sowing the latter at least
two bushels should be used. For a
crop pea, our fancy would favor the
black eye; twenty or thirty bushels on
fair soil is considered fair crop. Pea
vines, or pea vine hay, is about as val
liable for sheep as clover hay. If the
hogs are to do the harvesting, they may
be turned into the peas as soon as the
pods are lump, or, in other words
about as soon as the pea has its matu-
rity. If the peas are to be fed after
maturity. and after threshing, they
should be either cooked or soaked: if
used in the latter way the soaking
should last twenty-four hours. We
know of nothing that comes as near
perfection for hog plaster as clover,
and more especially if land plaster
gypsum-is applied judiciously. We
think if system of clover pea, root
and grain culture could be introduced
here that would make hog growing
one of the most remunerative indus
tries of the State.-RuTdl Messenger.
