STUART ROBSON, the well-knOwn comic actor
conducted the funeral services of his profess
sional brother, Charles TLorne, jr., and made
the only address of the occasion. Some years
ago, it is said Robson, Thorne and Robert Craig
entered into an agreement to do all in their
power, whenever one of them died, TO prevent
the attendance of a preacher at the funeral.
Craig died first, but the other actors were unable
to carry ont the agreement, owing to the con-
trary wishes of the family. The ceremonies on
this occasion, however, only made the two sur
vvors more firm in the determination to have
"no fuss made over their dead bodies" and Just
previous to Thorne's death he requested his wife
to allow his friend to officiate at the funeral.
The ceremonies were very simple. few inti-
mate friends gathered in the rooms where, after
reading letter from Robert Ingersoll, Robson
made few remarks about the deceased, telling
what good man and companion he had been.
but uttering no extravagant eulogy. Robson,
being the last, must necessarily make other ar
rangements for his own obsequies.

Saving Seed.

Every farmer can do much to improve
his crops by carefully selecting his seed.
This is a we'll known fact, but it is too
infreQuently acted on. 1t may not be
practicable for the farmer in the case of
the small grains to select individual
ears and preserve them for seed, but if
plats of the best filled and strongest
growing grain were selected and
threshed separately from the wheat, Oat
or barley field, no one will deny that
much improvement might be made in
these crops with very little trouble or
expense. There are other crops of
which it is easy to select the best indi-
Vidual specimens, the choicest ears of
corn, or potatoes from the best and most
productive hills. The best time to do
this is at harvest. AS the potatoes are
dug, the best specimens of the finest
hills can be readily preserved, and the
trouble will be an hundred fold repaid
in more abundant yield The best time
to secure seed corn is when it is being
cut. Select such ears as you desire and
keep them where they viii not freeze
till perfectly dry, and if they are never
exposed to cold below freezing no harm
will be done.
1t is a good plan to put aside grain
suitable Tor SEED, a little more Cnan VIII
be needed. 1t is much better than to
run around the neighborhood after seed
oats or barley or buckwheat when it is
time to sow them, and generally at much
less expense. 1t is but little trouble to
save many garden and flower seeds, and
win not only save many five-cent papers
of. seeds. but perhaps disappointment.
Besides the best can be selected, true TO
name and sure to grow. Even If the
money saving is small, the convenience
and satisfaction Will be large.-DetrOit

" One question more: How many ponds
of fish have you here and how are they di-
vided?'
''Wel, we have IS ponds, which are eli.
vided up as follows: Twenty-Five ponds
of brook trout, ponds of salmon trout, 4
of McCloud river or rainbow trout, 2
ponds of German trout, of California
mountain trout, ponds of hybrids, 4 of
one-quarter salmon and three-Quarters
brook trout, ponds of gold fish, and
pond of Carp. Then we have what we call
the Centennial pond or HAPPY family
consisting of crosses of different fish, in
Guiding Kennebec salmon, Land Locked
salmon, California salmon, brook trout,
salmon trout and hybrids. These fish
range in size from minnows to 1S.pouud-
ers, and in age from one-and-one-half
months to eleven years. I forgot to say.
also, that we have hospital pond, which
is entirely empty, which speaks pretty
well for a community of many millions.
Indeed the whole secret of the fish culture
can be summed up in four things. I'm
pregnation-using no water. Plenty of
food. Plenty of pure water and cleanli-
ness"
The numerous fish exhibitions which are
taking place in all parts of Europe and the
unusual interest which is being manifest
ed in this subject throughout the world,
all owe their origin to the process above
described as originated and conducted by
Seth Green. It is certainly cause for con-
graduation to every American that this
country produces so many men whose
genius brings value to the world, and it is
proof positive of the greatest merit that a
Warmers Safe Cure is known to have
should be so strongly endorsed and recon-
mended by one so reputable and reliable
as Seth Green.

Keeping Butter.

The following method of storing but
ter for keeping, in Great Britain, as de-
tailed by I. @. Clancy, contains some
points of interest to the American read
er: The butter cellar should be cool,
and in piling the butter care must be
taken not to pile it too near q window
through which, at any part of the day,
a direct ray of sun can. play on the
firkins. If a firkin of butter is placed in
such position that even for an hour
each day one side of it is so exposed to
the direct rays of the sun, and that it re-
mains so for a considerable time, it will
be seriously injured. Do not pile the
butter against damp wall or in very
damp spot. See that the drainage of
your butter cellar is perfect, and that no
bad odors come into it from the sewers,
which should be carefully trapped. The
cellar should be well ventilated,
but without great through
draught, which would tend to
dry up the butter and the irkins,
causing the slaves to open and admit
the air. Always place the firkins stand
ing on end, with the heads up. If the
butter has to be kept for long time it
should occasionally be brined. Make
strong brine of clear water, and the
cleanest and best salt (not sea salt) that
you can procure. Let it rest for day,
so that the water may take up as much
of the salt as it will hold in solution,
stirring it now and then. Pour this
brine over the timber heads of the firkins
without opening them, filling up to the
top of the chine, and if it runs very quick
~ through, renew it. This has a double
effect. The brine that gets into the but
ter preserves it, and the moisture run
ming down the seams of the firkins swells
them and makes them air-tight. For
very long keeping it is well to bore q
large gimlet hole in the heads to admit
the brine into the butter; butyou should
be provided with plugs or spigots, which
should be hammered in tightly after the
brine has gone down. 1t is not neces-
sary to brine butter for short keeping.
If it be good keeping butter it will do
without; and fit is not, shouldi it be weak,
Overhandled, milky, or too rich, brining
will not cure it.

The Iceland Herring.Fisheries.

An account of the herring fisheries IN
Iceland has great interest in view of
the fact that so large a proportion of
the cheap food Of European populations
is sent from them. The behring's are all
caught in the ponds, and not in the
open sea. Many Norwegian ships fire.
quent the Iceland waters and take up
their positions at various stations along
the shores, which consist of mere rough
huts. These Norwegian fishing smacks
are very small in comparison with those
either of England or America, but are
considerably larger than those used by
the Icelanders themselves. The net in
which the herrings are caught is all in
one piece, and should shoal of her
rings prove too heavy for the boat. the
ends of the net are anchored in-shOre
and the boats loaded with as many as
they can carry from within by bag nets
on the ends of long poles; those that
can not be carried away at once remain
enclosed in tie net until the next day,
when the fish are as lively as ever. The
size of these herring nets varies from
twenty fathoms long by five fathoms
deep to one hundred and fifty fathoms
long by twenty fatloms deep. They
are only of half-inch mesh and are used
in Norway for sprats and herrings alike.

AFANTILY BLESSING.

Under date of May 10 1883 We have received the fol-

prescriptions and many of the so-caed without
getting any benefit, persuaded by near neigh

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The best authorities assert that COWS
should go dry at least six weeks before
calving.
The potato crop nearly all over the
country is reported to be unusually fine.
In Eastern Pennsylvania some phOnOme-
nal yields are reported. In Bucks
County many fields produce three hum
dred bushels and more per acre.
If the carpet in bedroom or com
mon sitting room looks dusty after 1t
has been thoroughly swept, you can
brighten it a good deal by taking a
damp mop and busting with it; flannel
mOpis bestfor this purpose.-M Z. Post.
-Mush made in this way is excellent:
Boil a quart of water. Stir pint OF
cold milk with one pint of cOrn-meal
and one tablespoonful of salt. Pour
this into the boiling water gradually,
and let it all boil for half an hour.
Watch it carefully to prevent burning.

"A writer in the New York World
saws that he had a variety of sweet corn

but with the ears set comparatively low
on the stalks. The fodder part of the
plant has also been materially reduced
in size.
1t is a current assertion that dark
colored clover seeds are more sure to
terminate than light colored ones. Pro-
lessor Beal has tried some experiments
on this point. In 1877 over ninety-three
per cent of dark colored seeds grew,
and about eighty-three per cent. of light
colored seeds. In 1881 the experiments
resulted in favor of the light colored
seed. The experiments seem to show
that on an average there is not much
difference in the terminating power be-
tween the different colored seeds.-N.
Y. Graphic.
An Eastern editor describes a sec
ond crop of clover on farm where pas
turing has been entirely abandoned for
the last four years. He says if farmers
will quit pasturing their tillage land en-
tirely and adopt the soiling system,
their farms will in ten years double their
present productive capacity. The field
of clover was forty per cent. better than
any other seen since harvest, and was
better because it had not been pastured
for number of years. The corn and
other crops are also good, and the fer
tility and prOductiveness are almost en-
tirely owing to the soiling system as
practiced by the owner.
