FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Farm and Garden Notes.

lt is no rare thing for those having
cows to sell to allow them TO go un-
MIXED for time or two before selling,
in order to impress the buyer with a
well filled udder. This is both raScally
and cruel Although we have never
heard of the law in this country inter-
fering in such matters. in England re-
Gently a cow dealer was fined $40 and
cost for an offense of this kind.
Any cause that interferes with the
condition of the COW after calving
may produce milk fever Exposure,
too much exercise or nervous excite
mant are sufficient to bring on an at
tack, and a recovery is rare. 1t is the
"ounce of prevention" in this case,
as in many Others, that is worth the
pound Of cure. Keep the animal
quiet for week before and after
calv.ng, and nurse her well.
Corn which is hilled will blow down
more readily than that which has level
culture. This can be accounted for
by the fact that corn roots run very
near the surface, and when hills are
made they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill, while in level
culture the roots run from one row TO
the other, thus enabling the corn to
stand strong. as nature inten led, and
in no way liable TO be blown down ex-
cept by winds Of unusual violence.
Nothing is more generally useful on
farm than a swe p or tread horse
power. 1t can with proper machinery
be applied TO many purposes, saving
wood, cutting feed in winter, and
grinding grain for stock. A good
horsepower will thus save each year
many times the interest on its cost,
and with proper care will last many
years. A small steam engine will
answer the same purpose, but most
farmers have horses that must be fed
whether worked or not.
When farmers learn from experience
that by housing their manure and
thoroughly working it over, mixing
with abSorbants such as muck, earth,
road dust, leaves, etc, to take up
the liquid and ammonia set free, its
value is double what it now is, and,
too, at an expense much less than the
same amount of plant food could be
obtained in an artificial fertilizer, a
new era will have been reached in agri-
culture, and we shall see the fertili Y
of the old farms brought back to where
they were fifty years ago.
The water which can be gathered
from the roofs of barns and sheds
needed to shelter stock will. if care
fully saved, be sufficient for the stock
through the year. TO accomplish this
The cistern should be a large one to
Oold the surplus of wet season till a
time of scarcity. With a basement
barn the cistern should be in the cor
ner where the hank of earth against tn :
wall is deepest, to prevent freezing.
Then with a faucet in the lower part
of the cistern a continuous small stream
ran be kept running, adapting the flow
TO the number of animals, SO that the
tub shall never be empty and never or
very seldom run over. This plan is a
great convenience in winter and more
than repays the expense by saving ma
nure, beside the greater thrift of the
stock.

William P. Ross, the present chief of
the Cherokee Indians. is graduate of
an Eastern college, remarkable for in
telligence and culture, and fine ora
tor. The tribe occupies reservation
of 100000 acres, bounded on the
north and east by Kansas, Missouri
and Arkansas. The Cherokees of
pure and mixed blood number 20, 1856,
about one-half of whom speak the
English language, which is the only
one taught in the schools. In the en-
tire male population there are but six
teen whose occupation is given in the
last census as hunters and five fisher
men, the great majority being farm
ers. There are 107 schools supported
by the nation, a male and a female
seminary for advanced pupils. and an
orphan asylum. There is regularly
constituted government and an ade-
quate administration of justice. In
short, the Cherokee nation is not to be
distinguished from frontier State, ex-
cept in the character of its inhabi-
tants, their relations to the general
government, and their system of hold
ing the land in common, which affords
an interesting example of practical
communism.

New Orleans is good deal worried
over threatened danger of the mcst
serious character, being nothing less
than the loss of the Mississippi river.
For several years larger part of the
Father of Waters has been detected
into the Atchafalaya river and reaches
the gulf by that channel. The Missis-
sippi river commission estimated that
in 1881 one-sixth of the flood discharge
had been diverted to the smaller
streams, and the increase has been so
extraordinary since then that Captain
Eads, of Eads jetties fame, declares
that, if left TO itself, the great river
will within two or three years change
its course entirely and pour down the
Atchafalaya to the sea. As this would
close the Lower Mississippi to naviga-
tion and leave New Orleans on small
and tributary stream, it is not strange
that the people of that thriving city
should be alarmed. To add to the
seriousness of the situation the failure
of the river and harbor bill in the last
Congress has put an embargo on the
proposed works for arresting the de-
fiection of the Mississippi, and the New
Orleans papers fear that this delay will
prove disastrous.

Gambling tricks and gambling sta
tistics were recently elaborated before
a New Yorl audience by J. H. STAN
ley; but how far the 10000 men and
boys of New York who annually put
an average of $500 each into the pock-
cts of its 10000 gamblers, will be
warned by such public lectu es is a
question. Mr.. Stanley appears to know
all about his subject. Aside from the
dice games, the principal gambling in
situations were described as faro. rou-
lette, and red and white. Under the
most favorable conditions the percent
age against the player is fifteen per
cent, even when a straight game is
played. In faro the PERCENTAGE against
the player is variously estimator at
from three to ten per cent, but it is
usually much greater. In order to st II
add certainty to mathematical calcula-
ton, the faro dealers construct "two
card" or lever land squeeze dealing
boxes, and the cards themselves are
trimmed, one-half of a pack narrower
at the ends than in the middle, and the
other half narrower in the middle. The
evenS are then sanded on their faces
and the odds on their backs so that
they will stick together when the
dealer wishes to pull out two cards at
once. Other ways of cleat ng were
also d escribed. Mr.. Stanley's twenty
years experience leads him to believe
that while the law cannot well reach
private and club gambling, the public
hells can be closed if the right party
cnly says close" M

An intelligent writer, speaking of
the present conditions Cf agriculture in
England, says that unde- the most IA
vorable circumstances known in that
country it contains population of
100000 more than it can feed. He
says that without the grain Of the
Black sea ports and the overflow from
America these people would starve.
The agricultural problem in England,
he says, is admitted on all sides to be
in a hopeless condition. No cOun-
try is safe, in his view, that cannot,
within its own resources, sustain its
people. Formerly, people in such
an emergency migrated bodily, killed
off a igh5ormg people, and took
charge of their effects, or settled
down on some unoccupied territory !;
but the economy of the earth and
of mankind no longer limits of the
remedy. His conclusion is that
England is really in bad way.
In exact corrojoration of his state
ments and inferences the London
Times, devUting an article to this
highly important subject, remarks that
nobody would wish English agricul-
turists to dism;s; from their thoughts
the very serious question, whether
they are likely to compete successfully
with the American, colonial and for
eign rivals. 1t tells them they had
better give their whole mind to the
question and then abide by the answer.

One Of the principal engineering in
ventions, noticed of late in the foreign
journals, is device for the instanta-
neous formation of steam, which permits
of its use at once in the cylinder of the
engine. A pump sends the required
quantity of liquid between two plate
surfaces, which are heated, and between
which there is only a capillary space.
The effect of this arrangement is, that
the liquid, spreading in a thin layer,
evaporates at once, without going at all
into the so-called spheroidal state. and
this steam acts in the cylinder as fresh
formed steam. The speed of the pump
is regulated by the engine, the pump
being connected with the shaft of the
engine, the arrangement operating very
satisfactorily.
