WASHINGTON NOTES.

The action of the Assistant Treas
urer at New York, in refusing to &C
cept deposits of silver until he is able
to count it, is in strict accordance
with instructions issued by the United
States Treasurer. Similar instruc-
tons have been sent to all the Assis-
tant Treasurers, the object being to
insure greater protection in the hand
ling of government funds.
The Treasury Department has sus-
tanned the action of the Collector OF
Customs in New York in assessing
duty at the rate of 50 per gallon and
so per cent. ad valorem on imported
lavender water and extracts, as "alco-
holic perfumery."
By motion Of Mr.. Maxey, bill has
been passed in the Senate to grant
right of way for railroad and tele-
graph line, through the lands of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations of
Indians, to the St. Louis and San

EARLY CHICKENs.-In poultry keep
ing, the greatest profit is from the
early chickens. By good feeding and
management, some of the hens may be
brooding in January, and all the chicks
may be saved by the use of artificial
brooders. Incubators are used by ex-
perts with success, but farmers and
ordinary poultry keepers rarely sue
coed with these machines. Breeders
however, may be used by any person
even boy or girl, who will see that
the heat is not excessive, and when
the chicks open their mouths, give
fresh air. Eighty degrees is quite
enough warmth tor new Matched chick
ems, which are taken from the nest as
they come out, and are placed in the
brooder till all the brood is out, when
they may be removed to a warm coop
with the hen. We have had young
chicks thus nursed until they were
strong, which ran about in the snow
in February with great pleasure and
comfort, and not one was lost out of
a lot of ninety, which were all Matched
in January. All that is required is
to have warm part of the building
or attic-room for the setting hens, and
glazed coops set in a sunny place out
of doors for the chicks as they come
from the brooder.-Americdn IqricuL-

The DEATH RECORD. PERHAPS the
most humiliating and discouragine
view of human iif~~+-fts brevity and
its perishable record. Life is every,
thing to its possessor. 1t is all he
has in the world, and when death
comes the rich and the poor are made
equal. A few personal friends and
kindred drop tears on the grave of an
individual consigned to earth, but the
world joys on in its strife after wealth
and its necessities. 1t envies, hates,
weeps, laughs, aspires and treads
careiessl y over the graves of past gen.
eratlons. This is the record time has
left; this is the record it is now max
ing. The extinguishing of human
life adds but few grains of dust to
Mother Earth, from which it is bor-
rowed and justly returned. Not that
human effort is powerless for good,
but 1t must find its reward mostly in
the self-consciousness Of having done
right. We do not believe "the good
that men do is Inferred with their
bones" 1t lives and lends its infiu-
ence to after generations, though they
should never recognize it

Agricultural.

Eighty-three distinct varieties of
lettuce were grown at the New Eng
land Experiment station last year.
Good grass land is said to be a
good cabbage land. In fact, land that
will raise good grass will raise almost
anything.
1t is said that there is disease at
lacking the cabbage-worms which kills
them in large numbers, and it is hoped
they will be effectually checked.
The Darlington, =Brotbers, who are
regarded as the be ASders in Amer
lea, feed their COWS all they will bear
of meal and chopped clover hay.
Good corn fodder and oats make an
excellent diet for horses. 1t is a mis-
take to think fodder only suitable for
cattle, and to confine the horses to
hay.
To make the garden pay there must
be plenty of manure used, and the
weeds must not be allowed to feed on
it. Keep something growing all the
time.
A man in Freisburg, N. J., leads
the big hog record 50 far, with an an
imal that weighed S85 pounds, which
was sufocated in its own fat while
being moved in wagon.
1t is said that the whole tendency
of agriculture just now, and for the
future is, and will be, the cultivation
of more grass, and the establishment
of permanent meadows.
Sheep pelts should always be cured
without salt. If hung up under shell
ter they will dry in a few days. Care
should be taken to spread them out,
and especially in hot weather.
The eating of mouldy and rotten
corn has caused a serious and often
fltal illness among mich COWS.
No doubt the diseased potatoes are
unwholesome when fed in a raw state,
but cooking destroys the noxious quail
ity Of the fungus, and this precaution
should always be taken.
The connection between good grass
and good butter is very close, and it
matters not how good breed of cat
tie is used it is impossible to make
good butter with poor pasturage.
Nothing will purify and keep a
stable so free from odors as the free
use of dry earth, and every one keep
ing horses or cattle will find it pays to
keep heap of it at hand to be used
daily.
A farmers scrap-book should be
kept on every weIl-regulated farm
There are thousands of recipes for the
curing of sick animals which may be
| of great value if reared to at the
proper time. Usefd hints regarding
special crops may be forgotten unless
preserved in this manner, convenient
for reference. Plals for farm build
ings or their inteior management
may be preserved until wanted. Also
gates, fences, ditche, and the numer-
GUS other things which make up the
business of the farm, require frequent
repairs or entire reconstruction, and
hints and helps which may be afford
ed if the scrap-book has been well
kept, are of immense value.
