Composting Dead Leaves.

The report of the Connecticut Expert
ment Station gives the following direc-
tiOns for composing dead leaves, in an
swer to an inquiry for the treatment with
lime of mass of leaves which had drifted
for twenty-five years behind a wall. The
answer directs the use of fresh slaked
dime, one bushel to every fifteen or twenty
of the leaves and dark loan lying beneath
them. One bushel of lime is recommend
ed for ten of swamp muck. Twenty BUSH
els of the leaves and muck are to be first
spread three inches deep, then bushel
of lime warm from the shaking sprinkled
over this layer. Then this process is to
be repeated till the heap is several feet
high. The heap may remain through the
summer and be mixed by cutting down
and Aveling over. If bushel of salt
Ito 50 bushels of lime) be dissolved in
water, and the brine used to slake the
lime, the action will be more rapid, and a
few weeks be long enough to set up a de-
composition, when the heap may be over
hauled, and will be ready to use in a few
weeks more. Instead of salt muriate of
potash will answer, and will supply in
dispensable potash to the crops. 1t is on
account of the formation of soda and car
Donate Of soda from the lime and salt
mixture, that this mixture exerts more
powerful decomposing action than lime
alone. When salt is cheap and wood
ashes scarce the mixture may be applied
to advantage.

Precautions against Drought,

While we cannot influence the rainfall
we can, at least, mitigate the effects Of
drought to a certain extent by the proper
preparation and cultivation OF the soil.
1t is well-known fact that when the soil
is kept in loose, fine, friable condition it
not only absorbs moisture from the at
mosphere, especially at night, but allows
of the downward course of the water
during showers instead of loss by flow
ing off, as is the case when the surface is
hard. A loose, deep soil also permits an up
ward tendency of water by capillary at
traction, the loose soil thus storing moist
ure by its greater power of absorption
when rains are abundant. We therefore
find in time of severe drought that the
frequent use Of the cultivator, even when
the soil apparently does not require work
ing, is very beneficial, the greenish tinge
OF the growing corn giving evidence that
the constant stirring of the soil enables
the crop to derive a certain proportion of
moisture that it would not otherwise OBJ
tain.-PhlbQdelphta Record.

The Lombard Plum.

This plum, for all localities, is the most
productive sort known to cultiVatOrs.
We received lately by express two shoots
of this plum from ID. w. King, which eX-
ceeded in bearing any which we have
elsewhere seen. The two twigs measured
respectively fifteen and seventeen inches
in length, and they had on an even peck
of well-grOwn and well-ripened fruit,
compactly borne along their full length.
Our readers will perhaps recollect the ac-
great prOductiVenesS of the raspberry and
blackberry plantations of Mr.. King, his
soil and good management giving returns
in fruit rarely met with elsewhere. Two
years ago we examined a young orchard
of this plum on the grounds of Nelson
BOgue, Of Batavia, N. Y, the trees of
which were then in the third year of
growth after setting out. They were
heavily loaded with ripening fruit, many
Of them estimated as bearing half a bushel
each, the central branches being literally
hid with the dense mass of brilliant VIC
let-red plums. We learned subsequently
that the product that year of the ninety
trees which we saw in bearing was forty
six bushels. Two years later the crop
was estimated at seventy-five bushels.
He wrote us a few weeks since as follows
''MY plum orchard is outdoing itself again
for the fourth consecutive year. 1 think
l shall have 800 bushels from my 80 trees"
1t Is hardly necessary to add that Mr..
Bogue gives this orchard the best cultiva-
ton, and when the black knot is seen it is
instantly and thoroughly removed by ex-
cision.-COuntTu Gentleman.

Some Facts About These Interesting
Birds

Birds.
The latest reports from the experimental
ostrich farm in California are favorable to
the success of the enterprise. A recent
visitor to the farm writes
''These immense birds are kept in y ards
or Enclosures, one male and two females
occupying a place together. A common
board fence, higher than the ordinary,
surrounds each corral, and divides them.
There is space or open lane between the
pens-a driveway for teams and to carry
of shells in one day, besides a large
amount of coarse food-vegetables, alfalfa
or clOver-grass, etc. The cost of each is
81, 200, and their weight is from 800 to 400
pounds. They lay 20 eggs each year, each
egg valued at 800. Their feathers are
plucked twice year; they are on the tail
and wings of the bird, the body being
nearly bare. Each plucking averages
$500. The eggs weigh ~ pounds. The
male is black, the tail and wing feathers
being white, and the female a grayish
white. 1t requires four strong men to
hold one of these pets while plucking
their plumes. 1t seems a cruel process,
and no wonder the bird resists so hard.
| They are savage and dangerous if at
tackled, and can only be handled after a
sack OF stocking-leg has been drawn over
the head. They drive them into a corner
and slip as quietly as possible behind
them to draw the covering rapidly on;
some feathers are pulled out easily, others
are cut, and one has to understand his
+ business to prevent the bird from bleeding
to death. They cannot fly or Jump, but can
keep pace with the Aeetest horses. When
the eggs are to be gathered a Chinaman is
called into the arena. The ostrich seems
to have taken a fierce dislike to the smile
of the heather Chinee, and is so taken up
with his efforts to attack him that men
slip in unnoticed and take possession Of
theeggs.
''rhe life of an ostrich extends beyond
that of human beings, and averages 100
years. The plumes can be purchased
singly by visitors, the price depending
upon the length and thickness of them.
They have to be afterward cleaned and
dyed. No dogs or horses are allowed in
side the inclosure, as the birds go wild at
the sight of either. The Cinnamon carry
their food to them"

AUNT HANNAH AND THE GOAT.
She Was as Happy as a Queen Until She
STOPPED Down.

Old Hannah was hanging a wet shirt
across the clOthes-line in the back yard,
says the C0UTier-,JOurHdl. Raj had
hooked a fiery untamed billy goat and tied
him up in the cOw-shed with a rope. He
wanted to keep him tied up until he got
used to the place, and then use him for a
horse to draw a miniature tally-ho. The
goat didn't like the surroundings, and
while Raj was out looking for an old
hustle for him to chew he gnawed the
rope in two which held him prisoner.
RAYS ma was hanging up clothes and
singing:

just then she stopped down to pick out
another shirt to hang up on the line. The
goat was lOOse-he was on the war-path,
and Hannah was in the path. The goat
saw her, and putting all the power and
strength Of a loose locomotive into his
head, backbone and hind legs, he reared
up, yelled once and made terrific dive
at the big end of the object leaning over
the basket, and went on out through the
side alley into the street. The line
stretched across the yard cracked like
whip lashes when they let go, and the air
was full Of wet clothes. The old woman
leaped over the basket and lit against the
water barrel at the corner of the house.

A Nuisance EyerYMhere

From the Kingston Canada whig.
No birds were ever so warmly well
coined as the English sparrows dozen
years ago, and none have ever worn
their welcome out so quickly. But for
the pity excited by their appearance In
the streets throughout the cold weather,
and for the life their presence affords
when all other fenthered tribes have
flown, they would be utterly despised.
They were reputed to be great grubbers
for caterpillars and other enemies of
vegetation, but they have turned out TO
be very trifling and Intellectual protec-
tion. In many places where birds are
most plentiful gardeners report caterpil-
lars TO thrive, while the birds are giving
their attention to buds Of currant and
goosberry bushes, not for the purpose of
a meal always, but from innate bird
'cussedness." They pick the tender
buds and drop them TO the ground. From
such depreciation there can be no pro-
lection that will not cost more labor
and outlay than the harvest warrants.

Captain John i. Camps residence on
Dignowity hill was burglariously en-
tered last night. Both Captain Camp
and his family are away, therefore 1t is
not known the amount of booty taken.
The house was left in charge of a SER
want, who went out last evening, but did
not return until o'clock this morning.
When the servant returned the front
door was open, all the drawers ransacked,
cubbards burst open and articles were
scattered in all directions. Ii is believed
the burglar entered by the back window.
The police have not, up TO the present
time, made any arrests.
