TARRING SEED CORN

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER Il
have been in the habit for number
Of years Of tarring my seed corn, to
prevent the ravages of crows, birds,
moles, mice, &c, and though not an
absolute preventive, find it very
great benefit as they will not destroy
near so much of it, They will pull
up some anyway, but when they
find it unpalatable they will move
to another place and soon become
disgusted and quit altogether At
first | was troubled by the corn not
coming up well, but | found it was
caused by putting on. too much tar,
and for the benefit of your readers
who have not tried it, 1 will tell
how to do it: Have a kettle of hot
water nearly boiling, take /! bushel
of corn and put in -four barrel,
make paddle out of piece of
board about four feet long and about
two inches wide, dip it into your tar
bucket, let one hand pour the water
on the corn slowly, while another
stirs the corn with the tarred stick,
until every grain becomes thorough
ly glazed, which will be in few
minutes if the water is hot. If the
tar is stiff, one dipping of the stick
will generally be sufficient, as half
tea cup full is plenty for a half
bushel of corn. The only danger is
in getting too much When all the
corn is glazed, drain off the water
and stir in land plaster if you have
it Gf not dry dirt will do), to dry
the corn and prevent its sticking to-
gether and it is ready for planting.
Coal tar is said to be better than
regular tar, but | have never tried
it. Yours respectfully,

SUNKEN TREASURE.

A company called the Delaware Bay
Treasure Company was organized at
Soners' Point on Thursday, the 25th
inst, and elected the following officers:
Captain John Townsend, President;
William H. Keates, Secretary and
Treasurer; Board of Directors, Captain
John Townsend and Henry H. Van
SAINT. of Somers' Point; George F. Cur
rie and Edward Wilson, of Atlantic
City; Mark Townsend and Enoch
Townsend, of Linwood, and George
Williamson, of Philadelphia The
capital stock is to be thirty thousand
dollars, portion of which is already
paid in. Only enough stock will be
sold to carry on the business The
purpose of the company is to make q
thorough and systematic search for the
sunken treasure lost by the sinking of
the sloop of war, DeBrock, in 1898 in
the vicinity of the Delaware Capes.
The treasure is composed of bar metals
to the value of two millions The
company claim to have exact data and
can locate the vessel and fully expect
to find her. 1t may be remembered
that company was organized for the
same purpose some four years ago in
Philadelphia, but they failed in their
enterprise, because those who had
charge of the work were inexperienced.
Work will be commenced as soon as
the weather will warrant. Their
method of recovering the treasure, the
organizers keep to themselves. A
number of Philadelphians have joined
the enterprise.

damage than that sustained by itself,
into an alleyway The locomotive
toppled the other way, and rested on
the tracks for trains running in the
opposite direction. A colored woman
lived on the wrecked floor of the tene-
ment, but she was sleeping in another
part of the building. No one was
hurt, and even she did not know of
the accident until some time afterward.
A press despatch from Hamburg,
Sussex County, dated March "a, says:
There was an exciting scene at the
depot yesterday, when Mr.. Arthur L.
Silnonson, a well-to-do merchant, drove
up in a phaeton with Miss Nellie
Deumble at his side. For some months
very friendly feeling has existed be-
tween Mr.. Simonson and Miss Deumble.
They met at party given by Mrs.
Bressler, and appeared to enjoy each
others society. This would not have
attracted SO much attention had not
Mr.. Simonson had wife, Mrs. Sim
onson, who is somewhere near her
husbands age, or about 40 years old,
objected strongly to the attention her
lord paid Miss Deumble. When the
phaeton drew up at the platform Mrs
Simonson, flushed and angry, flew out
Of the depot door and proceeded to
ply an umbrella on the young 'lady's
hat Miss Deumble, who is pretty
maid of 20 years, did not relish this
action, and jumped from the phaeton,
whip in hand. A novel combat fol-
LEVIED. Both women were furious, and
belabored each other over the face
and head with their weapons, until
Mr. Simonson jumped out and stepped
between them. Both ladies were pain
fully punished. The country is greatly
shocked, and Mrs. Simonson, who was
driven home in Mysteries, says she
won't allow any woman to capture her
husband. Mr.. Simonson says he only
took fatherly interest in Miss Deum-
BILE, and did not know that his wife
objected.

THE WORLDS LARGEST BARN.

The Union Cattle Company, of Chey
enne, has cattle barn located eight
miles from Omaha, which is the largest
structure of the kind in the world. 1t
was commenced April, 1885, and $685.
600 has been expended upon it. There
cattle, and the original design to pro-
vide for 5000 head will probably be
carried out during the present year.
The building is 400 by 600 feet, covering
five acres, and in it the cattle are fat
tened for market. So complete are
the arrangements for feeding that one
man can attend to it. All that he has
to do is to turn the faucet, and the
cooked meal. forced to large tanks
above the barn, passes to each trough
in front of each animal. Forty-fve
men do all the work, making one man
for every 200 head of cattle. 1t re.
quires about 900 bushels of meal for
each days feeding, in addition to the
hay from the prairie, which costs 81 g
ton. Ihere is a regular system OF
water-works, and with it the flooring
is cleaned up twice a day, requiring
only seven men to do this part of the
daily labor. The Union Cattle Com
pany was incorporated about seven
teen years ago. The men who com
pose it began on a small scale, with a
very little capital, too. They now
have $4,000 head of cattle on the range,
and have SO, 900, 900 invested in the bus
mess. The stock consists of Herefords,
short horns and Durhams, and is con-
tinually improving by the introduction
of the finest animals in the market
They are kept on the ranges in Wyom-
ing and Montana, till they are about
three or four years old when they are
brought to the barn for fattening,
which requires about four months.

NATURES DENTAL GOLD FILLING -
The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise
says: Zeigler, of the meat market on
South G. street, killed steer the other
day whose teeth were completely in
crusted with gold and silver bullion
The animal came from ranch on
Carson river, the precious metal on
the enamel OF the teeth doubtless ac-
cumulated from drinking the water of
the river, which is impregnated with
the tailings from the mills reducing
Comstock ores. This circumstance is
not new however, as Sam. Davis men
toned something similar before in the
Carson Appeal. Most of the cattle
along the river have their teeth afflicted
in the same way. Their owners might
scrape off quite revenue from them
if they had any financial sense.

A highly interesting piece of work
is at present being executed in the
Berlin Royal Anatomy, under the di-
rection of medical and artistic experts
the wax model of a carefully pre-
pared human body, of life size. From
it cast in zinc is to be made by Gla-
denback, showing with rigid exactness
the muscles, arteries and veins. An
idea of the nicely of the work may be
formed from the fact that, thus far,
fifteen months have been spent upon
the head alone, which is not expected
to be finished under three years more.
When completed, the model will be
purchased by the Government for the
use of the students of the Anatomy.
