Farmers are making BIT little prog,
ress with their work on account of the
backward weather. All, however.
seem to work with a will when the
weather permits. Dat sowing 10 about
over, and many farmers have their
corn ground nearly ready for planting.
The raising of Irish potatoes is COM
handing a great deal of attention here
this spring, and we meet persons almost
daily asking for seed potatoes.
Farming does not command the at
tention here that its Importance de-
mahds, owing to the tie and lumber
business, which has been very extern
sive in the past. The railroad company
has quit taking ties for a time, we I'M

who depended on that for a support
will have to turn their attention to the
cultivation Of the soil, which will, we
think, be an advantage to the commu.

Since the fair weather began farmers
are busily engaged on their farms,
making hay while the sun shines. A
good area has been sown in oats. Our
wheat crop looks rather puny, but
since the last rain is somewhat i'm.
proved. An average crop of corn will
probably be planted. Several farmers
are preparing to plant more Irish pota-
toes than usual. There is but little
talk of planting cotton this season.
Mich cows and work hands seem to be
scarce, the supply not being equal to
the demand. We had a small blizzard
last night, and fears are entertained
that oats that are sprouting will be
killed or seriously injured. We have
heard of no deaths in our section lately
but influenza still prevails and we have
had eeveral very bad cases, No we'd.

To Loosen "a Tight screw.

One of the most simple and readiest
methods for lOOSening a ruSted screw
is to apply heat to the head of the
screw. A small bar or rod of iron, Hat
at the end. if Redeemed in the fire and
applied for Il couple or three minutes
to the head of the rustcd screw, will.
rs soon rs it heats the screw, render
its withdrawal as easy 10y the screw
driver as if it was only Il recently in
serted screw. As there is a kitchen
poker in every house, that instrument,
if heated at its extremity and applied
for a few minutes to the head of the
screw OF screws. will do the work of
looscning, and an ordinary screw
driver will do the rest. without causing
the least damage, trouble or veXation
of spirit. In all work above the COM
mon kind, where it is necessary to use
screws, aud particularly in hinge work
and mOuntings, fancy fastenings and
appliances affixed to joimery or furni-
ture work, we would advise the Oiling
of screws or the dipping their points in
grease before driving them. This will
render them more easy to drive and
also to withdraw, and it will umdoubt-
edly rctard for il longer time the action
of IuStinG.

Emigration from Germany.

The enormous drain on Germany by
the continued emigration of her able
bodied wOrkmen is being seriously
considered throughout the empire.
Some ninety five per cent. of the emf
grants 90 to the United States, and so
not only diminish the productive power
of the mother country, but create
damaging competition to purely Ger
man products in the American markets.
They carry away considerable money
and valuables, and while costing their
country round sum for education, be-
stow the benefits of that education on
another land. Two circumstances are
mainly responsible for the evil-the
pressure of Over-gOvernment, and the
mass of large landed estates, which
lower the value of labor in the agricul-
tural districts. Thus most of the en-
irrants come from the country, and
the Berliner Tageblatt points out that
the best method of stopping emigration
is to offer practical inducements for the
people to stay at home. The journal
argues there is plenty of room IN the
country. for Germany as whole Is
only half as densely populated as Bel
gium. and suggests that small farms
should he carefully allotted out for the
beneiit-of the working classes, and to
the destruction of the monopoly OF
large landed estates.- London Graphic.

How TO Cleanse the Waste
Pipes.

One of the most frequent and trying
of housekeeping, as many
can testify, and which 4 writer i'll the
Philadelphia Ledger freely asserts, is
the obstruction to the free, quick out
let of the waste water of the wash
stand. the bath-tub and the kitchen
sink.
This is caused by Il gradual accumu-
lation of small bits of refuse material,
paper. rags. meat, bones, or other ot1al,
which check and finally entirely stop
the overflow of the waste water, and
then the plumber is called to remove
the stoppage with his force pump.
Sometimes this is effective, ut others
the offending waste pipe is cut out and
new one put in its place ut consider
able cost.
But the plumber is not always near
at hand or free to come at ones call,
and the matter demands immediate at
tcntion. \ simple, inexpensive method
of clearing the pipe is us follows: Just
before retiring ut night pour into the
pipe enough liquid potash I've of 36'
strength to fill the trap" as it is
called, or bent portion of the pipe just
below the outlet. About Il pint will
suffice for washstand, or quart for
il hath-tub or kitchen sink. BE sure
that no water runs into it till next
morning.
During the night the I've will convert
all of the oital in the pipe into soft
soap, and the first current of water in
the morning will remove it entirety.
and leave the pipe as clean as new.
The writer has never had occasion, III
over thirty years experience, to make
more than two applications of it i'll
any one ease.
\ remarkable example of the value
of this process WAS that of Il large drain
pipe which carried of the waste of an
extensive country house, near Phila-
dclphia, and ran under Il beautiful
lawn in its front. \ gallon of the I've
removed all obstruction in Il single
night, and saved the necessity of dig
ging mp the pipe and disliguring the
grcenSward of the lawn, as the plumber
intended. until advised of this process.
The so-callcd potash I've sold in small
tin cans in the shops is not recon-
mended for this purpose ; it is quite
commonly miSnamrd and is called
caustic soda, which makes hard soap
The I've should Ice kept in heavy glass
bottles or demiiOhmS, covered with
wicker work, and plainly labelled
use. 1t does not act upon metals, and
50 does not cOrrodc the pipes as dc
strong acids. 49, Scit ntitic American.

What Base Bail Costs.

There are eight professional ball
clubs in the country, known by the
name of the League. 1t is carefully
estimated that the expense of carrying
them on amounts to fully S2OO,OOO Il
wear: of which over one-half goes for
salaries. The average salary paid to
base ball players cannot be less than
81 800, some of them receiving S3,OOO Il
season, or fully as much as some of the
best editorial writers on the New York
journals. In past times the figures
would 90 beyond that limit, but things
have been equalizing themselves OF
late. And only one association, the
League, is represented in this S2O0,-
900. There are many others. For the
Philadelphia Athletic association no
less a sum than S3I, 900 has been eX-
pended this year, and the club is said
to have made profit of $4,000. All
this comes from the crowds that are
drawn to witness the contested games.
1t is confidently stated, taking all
things together, that S6oO,OOO would
not be an over estimate of the total eX-
penditures of base ball this year.
