AGRICULTURE.

PROFITABLE GARDEN CROPS, s,-Wher-
ever there are manufacturing villages,
early cabbages are always III demand,
and bring good prices. Spinach is an
other salable vegetable. Beets, pars-
nips, carrots, turnips, onions, etc, as
well as spinach, may be sown III rows
far enough apart, 10 be worked by
horse implements. The distance be-
tween the rows is to be governed by
the width of the horseshoe or cultivator,
which should close up as narrow as
twenty inches. A market gardener sows
such crops twelve or fifteen inches
apart. but the farm gardener has cheaper
land, and can give more space If he can
save labor, and substitute horses for
hands. Those who undertake farm
gardening, will do well to begin with
sweet corn and early potatoes, and not
undertake other garden crops until the
land has been in cultivation with these
for one season. Another way to pre-
pare the land for garden crops is to
plow, harrow and SOW it to buckwheat.
When this is IN flower, pillow 1t under,
and SOW 1t again to buckwheat. Turn
this under at the proper time, and IN
September, or at the usual time, SOW
the land with rye, to be plowed in next
spring. The object should be to bring
the land, a few acres at the time, into
condition 10 raise any garden crops.
The rapidity with which this can be
done Will depend upon the amount of
manure at command for the purpose.
It will be worth while for all farmers,
who are within easy reach of market,
70 give this subject proper thought, and
be ready to commence the coming
spring to make a farm garden.

Sorghum.

Its history with as only dates back
TO 1858, when Vim. 4. Prince. of
Flushing, imported from France little
sorghum seed, which VI. de Montigny,
the French Consul at Shanghai, China.
had sent TO the geographical Society OF
Paris in 1850. 1t was in 1856 or 1857
that Orange Judd, OF the american
-hgr1cUltUrtSt, distu buted TO the sub
scribers Of his paper $4,000 parcels OF
sorghum seed. In 1857, Leonard
Wrav, an English merchant, brought
from Natal, South Airlca, sixteen varle-
ties Of sorghum seed. To these last the
name lmphee was given, while the for
mer was known as the Chinese sugar
cane. And yet this plant, whose
merits as a sugar producing plant ap-
pear to have been recognized thirty
years ago, had come TO be regarded as
mainly valuable for forage, or as
source of an inferior quality of syrup.
Still for these purposes alone its value
had so far come TO be established that
the committee Of the National Academy
of Sciences, appointed for the lnvestlga-
ton Of the results, make in their re-
port this remarkable statement: FILLING
a certain place on our farms better than
any other plant previously tried, 1t
spread il cultivation with a rapidity no
other agricultural plant ever did before
in this or any other country, and Is the
only one adapted 70 a wide region in
troduced into the United States since
colonial times which has become OF
sufficient importance TO be enumerated
in the census. 1t has become the 'sor-
ghum' of common language, and its
cultivation has extended the whole
length and breadth of the country. It's
adaptation 20 our soil and climate Is
abundantly demonstrated, and It's capa-
CITY for improvement also thoroughly
proven" The authority for the above
remarkable statement IS beyond ques-
ton.
For ages before this western world
was known, this sorghum had been the
main reliance of millions Of the race.
1t Is bv no means improbable that sor-
ghuB was the plant which Pharaoh saw
IN his dreams, and its seed the corn
which the sons of Jacob went down INTO
Egypt to buy during their seven years
of famine. 1t is doubtless true that
four thousand years ago this plant was
grown, as to-day It is grown IN China,
India, TurkIsiau, Arabia and Africa.
By general consent It is admitted that
the demands upon climate and soil Of
the sorghum, as also the details OF cul-
tivation are practically identical with
those OF maize, although it Is a matter
Of moment that the sorghum, provided
only II secures a good start IN the early
portion Of the season, Is capable of
tiourishing during a draught which
would prove fatal to maize

Ice CREAM WITHOUT A FREEZER.-A
rich and good custard one-half a box of
gelatine in a cup of water for an hour,
stirring il into a quart and a half OF
boiling milk, pouring this over four
eggs well beaten and stirred into
two cups of white sugar. Return TO
the fire andbol up until it seems . lit
tle thickened. When cold, add pint
of cream with tiny pinch of saleratus
dissolved in 1t. and a tablespoonful of
vanilla extract. All this should be
done at night. Put the custard in a
cold place. Early in the morning,
while the air is yet cool, place the
tightly covered tin holding it into a
bucket or iron kettle and pack around
and over it bits of ice and layers of rock
salt. covering all over with rug, folde1
carpet or blanket. 1t will take four or
FIVE hours TO freeze it, and twice during
that time the tin must be uncovered
and the freezing cream be well stirred
MP. As often as the ice melts, say three
times, the water must be drained OFF
and fresh Ice and rock salt added. 1t
does not take a great quantity of ice,
and the result is most satisfactory, even
when the custard is much palmer, or
with the gelatine, the cream and even
the boillrg being dispensed with,

That magnificent yuiture OF South
America, the great condor of the Andes,
Is not exactly the kind of game that
would appear to lend itself most readily
TO the trapper's art. 1.-TWO of these
birds will attack a COW or llama and
kill il with their terrible heaks and
claws, says the Rev. J. G Wood, and
added to this strength and prowess
there Is It's unparalleled power OF flight,
which enables it TO hunt the preserves
of a half dozen States, cross the vastest
mountain ranges II search of 8 meal or
hang suspended on the watch for prey
at a height where even its mOnstroUs
expaDse Of wing is reduced to an almost
invisible point. Yet carrion and
naked savage" bring this monarch
among birds 10 grief.
They are taken alive by the Mexican
Indians and half-hreeds in a manner
which, though simple IN itself, requires
both nerve and strength in .Le trapper.
The sole apparatus consists of newly
fiayed skin Of a COW OF buffalo. THIS
the Indian places on the ground, hair
downward, on some bare SPOT frequented
by large birds of prey, and then.
crawling underneath, turns over on his
back and waits In a short time con-
dor comes overhead. wheels round and
descends on the hide Immediately
his taIOns touch the skin the Indian
seizes the legs, and, standing up, over
whelms the bird and binds him with
thongs kept ready, a process. however,
which usually meets with stubborn
resistance.
1t is Just this weakness for rank flesh
that is the betrayal of sIl Yulture kind.
All through the East It seems as though
nature had Kept especially in mind the
scavengering duties of these her too
often hideous children, and meat with
that gameyness which Is produced by
few DAYS exposure to a tropical SUI is
an irresistible attraction to them. The
Andes type Is no better. The wander
ing tribes take 1t by placing a dead
horse. in an advanced state Ct I'M
sayoriuess. within a high waffle inclO-
sure, and nOOsing the glutted birds
when they have fed too freely to rise
readily. And II much he same way,
according to Tschudi, in one of the
Papuan provinces there exists a deep
natural funnel-shaped cavity in the side
of a certain valley. This is utilized by
the Indian as ready-made trap for
capturing condors. They place dead
horse or mule on the brink Of this hol-
low, and the pecking and tUgging of
the giant birds presently roll it down
the deClivity. The birds follow, and
being heavy and gorged, are unable TO
ascend again, clubs and stones finishing
off the disgusting reyelers to the last
one.

It seems rather a discrepancy that the
President of the Republic Of Venezuela
should receive S2jU,000 a year, while
the President of the United States has
only 500. 600, and the Premier of Eng
land So, 600. The present President,
GuZman BlancO. is said to possess a pri-
vate fortune of 81, 900, 600. Three beau
tiful country houses are maintained for
HIM 10y the State, besides his residence
at Caracas and a villa by the sea for the
bathing season; and altogether he lives
in the greatest luxury, and rules as the
most absolute despOt. Although nOmi-
nallv only President Of Republic, he is
In reality an absolute dictator, ruling
the Venezulans with a rod of iron. One
or two examples of the arbitrary mode
of government of President BlancO may
be given. Soon aftrT the railway be-
tween Caracas and and La Laguyra lin
which he holds a great number of
shareSl was opened, he issued a decree
that all vehicles on the excellent coach
road, which had always been hitherto
used, should be stogpe1-thereby, of
course bringing grist to the railway
mill, but throwing hundreds Of people,
with their mules and carts out of en-
ployment. A few days ago the resident
engineer reported to he president that
fish-plate had been placed on the rails
with the evident object Of upsetting the
train on its passage over a narrow via
duct built by the American contractor
who cOmmeuced-but did not finish
the line. Gen. Blanco, Immediately,
without instituting any inquiry with
the object of discovering the offenders,
and without making any distinction be-
tween rich and poor. ordered every one
living within radius of half mile of
the scene of the attempted outrage-in
all sixty persons- 10 be locked up for
one month.

ANnrerIiprarr Of acllpplng. !,

A simple. easy and inexpensive plan
for saving newspaper articles. one that
has been found satisfactory under long
trial may be thus described: A case Of
drawers, such as are used for holding
and exhibiting sp0oIs of silk thread. was
obtained for So. IL this cabinet were
ten drawers, each divided into spaces
about one and one-hslf by sixteen
inches by thin strips of pine. Each
alternate strip was removed, thus max
ing the divisions two and one-half
inches wide. These were divided by
strip running across the others. thus
making IN each drawer sixteen COM
partments, or eighty divisions in all.
each wide enough to receive ordinary
newspaper slips and long enough for
convenience.
On the front of each drawer was fixed
the utle of the general division or sub
iect to which that drawer was devoted,
the titles in this particular instance be-
ing on one cabinet Cattle" the next
drawer being labeled Horses" the
third Sheep the next Swine" and
the others General. Statistical, etc.
On the top of the edge of tine divi sions
in the ''cattle" drawer the labels read in
their order respectively: Aberdeen,
Angus. Devon. Galloway, Hereford and
Short horn cattle" Then came "Dairy
Matters, " followed by divisions for each
established dairy breed, in alphabetical
order. AL the drawers were arranged
on the same plan.
Another cabinet is arranged in like
way for subjects relating to husband
AIRY. In each division or space is strip
of thick, white cardboard, on the back
of which Is written the title of each
article placed IN that space or division.
Two hight rubber bands hold this card
board and the newspaper scraps to-
together, the latter being thus kept
straight and in the order in which their
tiles appear on the index card. The
work of filling such a library consists
of cutting the articles out, placing them
in the appropriate division. and writing
their titles on the index cards. No
paste is required, and bnt very little
time, is used. When infor nation Is
needed on any given theme but mo-
ment is needed to find all that has been
preserved on the subject. The matter
is the most convenient shape for reading
or for other use, and can be returned
to its proper place in an instant.

High Priced Butter.

Dairymen often wonder how their
more favored competitors get such high
prices for their butter the ear round
1t is by always having a uniform gilt
edged article. To put the "gilt edge"
on, when the pastures do not doit, they
use Wells, Richardson & Cos. Improved
Butter Color. Every butter maker can
do the same. Sold everywhere and
warranted as harmless as salt, and per-
feet in operation.

How TO TREAT SCARLET FEvER.-Un-
dress the child and put it 10 bed at the
very first sign of sickness. Give it, if
it has already fever, nothing but sour
ish. warm lemonade with some gum
arabic in it. Then cover the abdomen
with some dry flannel. Take a WELL
folded bed sheet and put it in boiling
hot water, wiring it ont dry by means of
dry towels and put this on the flannel
over the child's abdomen. Then cover
the child and wait, The hot cloths
will perhaps require repeated heating.
According to the severity of the case,
and its stage of progress, perspiration
will begin in the child IN from ten min
utes to two hours. The child then is
saved; it soon falls to sleep. Soon af-
ter the child awakes, it shows slight
symptoms of returning inclination for
food; help its bowels, if necessary, with
injections of oil, soap and water, and
its recovery will be as steady as the
growth of greenhouse plants, if veil
treated.
