THE CROP OUTLOOK.
We are now in the possession oi
advlces through correspondents and
our exchanges, covering q large por-
tion of our State, concerning the
crop prospects TO within few days
past. We gather from these that
the fruit crop, with the single excep-
tion Of peaches perhaps, which as .
rule, is quite favorable indeed. Az
to peaches, reports are somewhat
conflicting. In some localities, they
are reported as seriously injured, and
north OF the Boston Mountains, and
the entire northwestern portion ol
the State, they are doubtless serious
ly'injured if not entirely destroyed.
In eastern, central, and southern Ar
kansas, 1t is safe to assume that we
will be favored with nearly an aver
age crop. There are also, some com
plants as TO the probability Of seri
GUS injury to the plums and straw.
berries, yet these reports are largely
made up Of conjectures, and cannot
be safely relied upon. We are how
ever OF opinion that as a rule, these
fruits are not seriously affected.
AS to apples, pears, cherries &c.,
tits safe to MAINTAIN that they are
in good condition and that we can
now safely count upon an average
crop. As to wheat and rye it may
be said that the average is more
than last year, and that it has win
tered we'll as rule, and IS now com
ing forward nicely. The area sown
to oats, is somewhat larger than that
Of former years, and adylces lead III
to believe that it is coming forward

corn, it is yet too early 70 say much
the area already planted is large,
and the good work is going forward

that it will largely exceed that oi

personally discharge the duties Of
the offices to which they are elected !;
competent to do 50 according TO law;
with credit to the country and honor

Surely an officer III his official capac-

and where the law allows no differ

UTILIZING REFUSE


Why and How IL should H Converted
Into Fertilizers.
Corn cobs rot very slowly. and but
few farmers have the patience to wait
until they are decomposed. They are
very rich in potash, over twenty-five
per cent. OF that substance existing in
them The cobs that accumulate an.
nually on those farms where corn is
made special crop make quite large
amount Of potash. but not in an avail
able form, and the farmer can not
utilize them as he should It Is sug-
gested that they be burned to ashes,
which Is very sure way Of deriving
the potash from them, but every one
thousand pounds of cobs contain two
pounds Of nitrogen. and it. also, is an
item worth saving. The question Il
whether the heat derived from the
cobs is sufficient to pay for burning
them and allowing Of the loss Of the
nitrogen. Overwhelming this Is the
fact that by reducing them to ashes
they are rendered soluble and avail
able. There is another form Of utiliz-
ing she cobs. however, which is to
grind the grain and cob together. AL
though the nutritive matter in cobs
may be but small proportion. vet the
two pounds OF nitrogen. some carbon
and portion Of the phosphates and
lime will be appropriated as food, the
refuse being voidcd as manure. The
use Of The grain and cob ground 70.
gethcr, therefore, gives greater pro
portion Of potash TO the manure. and
the practice should therefore be en-.
Outraged.
But there are other kinds OF refuse

rertcd into available fertilizers, such ~
straw. cornstalks, scrapings and other
undesirable material. Il may be stated

Fear for Twenty Ling fearss
fElmira IN. ~ Special
About twenty years ago maiden LADY
named sussn 4. Hoffman, then twenty
I've wears Of age. came 70 Elmira from
Virginia. She was IN eccentric person.
and became possessed Of the idea that the
people were her enemies and would event.
ually murder her. Ever since the time
mentioned she occupied rooms IN tsne.
ment building on the corner Of Main
and Clinton streets. She lived on stale
meat, vegetables and berries that she
gathered from neigbboring stores and
thrived on that kind Of diet, putting .
rout all the theories regarding the uns
wholesomeness Of stale food promulgated
by the DOCTORS. Although she has veil.
to-do relatives in Indiana, who have paid
her rent and sent her money, she refused
10 have any thing TO do with them. IN all
these years she has summed society and
wanted neither man, woman nor child 70
associate with or even speak 70.
Her sole associates have been : number
or pets-a canary bird, hen and rooster
and pigeon being the chief ones. A.
one time her rooster, from some unknown
cause. died. She or ieved as over the loss
Of child, but got the better
OF her sorrow and raised another
rooster. The strangest thing about
this proceeding il that the hen re-
fused to set, and she therefore trained
the pigeon to that duty. Her rooms were
filed with every imaginable article-old
kettles, bones, sticks and all kinds Of rub
bish that could be picked up on the street
she carefully saved until the place was
filed. The premises where she lived
finally became 30 nlthy that that the
board Of health recognized that something
must be done TO abate the nuisance. Her
brothers were written TO. and they pro-
fessed willingness to support her and do
| any thing in their power 70 alleviate hsr
condition. A consultation resulted In tho
decision that II was best to send her 70 -
asylum. and she was taken 70 Buffalo
few days ago.
