A Wife's Value in Cows.

III. w. Christy in Salt Lake Tribune.
1 asked some of the Kaffirs in the diamond
mines why they worked so hard when, with
their cattle, which is the currency of the
country, they could live in ease. They told
me they wanted to make money to buy more
wives. That people purchase their wives
and pay for them in proportion to the
amount of flesh. An ordinary wife brings
ten to fifteen cows, while more
feshy one brings twenty, and one
that will tip the scales at $50 pounds
readily brings twenty-five or thirty cows.
Zulus have from one to four cows, in
proportion to the amount they are able to
pay.
Raising young young girls for such trade is
considered profitable. The ideas of these
Zulu women regarding this practice of pur-
chase is best illustrated by an incident where
an English lady had one of them as a SER
want until she got married. The mother of
the girl called on the lady and boosted of the
number of cows paid for her daughter, and
asked the English lady how many her hus-
band paid for her. She told her that the
English did not marry that way-sell them
selves in marriage. The Zulu woman could
not comprehend it and asked: care you
like worthless dog, that your father gives
you away for nothing"

Farm Work for March.

lAmercan Agricultlalist.
March is, of all months. the most difficult
one for which 10 assign any special work. 1t
stands in the calendar as the first month of
spring, but in the Northern States it is most
frequently the last month of winter. 1t is
the latest time to which those who design to
plant fruit trees or small fruits can safely de-
law ordering them. If in doubt as to what
varieties to plant, consult an experienced
fruit grower in the neighborhood. A family
orchard and fruit garden should include va
Tieues to cover the whole season. For an
orchard near a market town, a good share of
early apples will pay well. The injuries to
young trees by girdling by rabbits and mice
are numerous. Is any of the inper bark is
left on the wound, apply thick plaster of
cow-dung and loan, bound on with bagging
OF other coarse cloth, to keep the parts moist
until they can heal. If mpletely girdled,
then gratis must be inserted to bridge over
the injury. When trees are received from
the nursery, unpack them and heel them in
at once, but do not plant until the soil is
well prepared. IL is a mistake to graft old
trees too early. Wait until the buds of the
tree begins to swell.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 24-To-morrow's
Gazette will publish an interview with Rob-
ert McCarty and City Attorney Cspps, who
represented the plaintiff and the defendant
in the suit for adultery of Mrs. Weaver, of
indianapolis, Ind, against Peirce Weaver,
or ]. w. Pierce, as he was known here.
McCarty says that from his knowledge of
the financial condition of Weaver, he
is satisfied that the man at Atlanta Is not
him, and he says Weaver was very angry
at his wife on account of her prosecution of
him for adultery, and thinks that he does
not reveal himself for two reasons at first,
because he is willing she shall waste her
money in the present suit at Atlanta, and
second, because he is still living in adultery
with Mrs. Eden, and fears another prosecu-
ton. Capps says that Weaver had only fifty
dollars when he left mere in the fall of 1884,
and that he went to Indian Territory to join
Mrs. Eden, the woman with whom he lived
in adultery here. He says Weaver was great
ly infatuated with Mrs. Eden, and that they
carried on a correspondence until he was
lodged in jail here, and after she had jumped
the town to escape arrest. Capps received
letters from Weaver about eight months ago,
dated Chattanooga, Tenn, stating that he
was closely pressed financially, and urged
the collection of the claims in the attorneys
hands.

sheet of waterproof cloth. This procedure
dialates the vessels of the leg, and by di-

induces sleep.

are all very beneficial-combined with a lib

chilblains must be kept thoroughly warm,
and the child should also be encouraged to
take as much exercise as possible. The
stockings must be wooden, and the boots and
gloves warm and roomy, so as not tn COM
press the hands or feet. The parts may be
further stimulated by rubbing, and it is of
ten advisable to use some mild stimulating
liniment, such as soap liniment, or ammo
MIA liniment. Spirits of any kind, such as
brandy or gin. may be employed for rubbing
the part. When the chilblains become
broken the parts must be kept at rest, and it
may be necessary to apply poultices or warm
water dressing for time until the discharge
has ceased. The best dressing for them after
this period is any mild stimulating ointment
spread upon a soft rag Resin ointment or
ointment of the exide or zinc are both very
useful.

Bee Notes for March.

The experience of many beekeepers, not
all novices, is that while they can get their
bees through the winter well, the early
spring is the most trying time. The life of
the worker bee is short at best. and the
great proportion OF those that 90 into winter
quarters die before the season is half over.
New brood must be reared to maintain the
strength of the colonies. 1t is often fatal to
success TO start colonies at work rearing
brood too soon, which is done when they are
placed too early upon the stands before the
weather remains continuously propitious.
1t is better to wait. Colonies coming
through the winter very strong NAV be
trusted out earlier than weakly ones. Warm
weather will excite the bees to activity; if
this occurs unusually early, the colonies
should be kept as quiet as possible. When
the red buds of the soft maple put forth, the
bees, as rule, may be safely released from
their Imprisonment. Queens are liable to
disease and death, and it happens that some
times colony is without a queen. In such
a case it may be united with a weak one that
has queen, if BOTH after close examination
prove healthy. IL honey is exhausted, feed; ;
and it is well to place fine, unbolted -four
where il is accessible TO the bees They use
il in place of pollen, if few flowers are open
or the weather rough.

Barbarious Inhumanity.
Topeka Commonwealth. ]

A terrible story of inhuman cruelty
reaches this city, and it is authenticated
thoroughly. During the storm man, his
wife and child. were driving toward Kinsley,
Kan, from the south, in one of the fearful
billiards which have characterized the
weather for the past few days. Reaching
house the man asked for shelter. but the in
human wretch who owned 1t, refused either
his wife or child to take shelter. The man
begged and pleaded, but all to no avail. His
wife was then unconscious and the babe was
in the same condition, but both are said to
have been alive. The man then told them
he would not accommodate them, and said
three miles further on they could probably
receive protection. The poor man resumed
his position on the wagon and started OF.
The next morning all three were discovered
a half-mile from the house frozen TO death.
The mother had the babe close to her bosom,
as if in the act of hugging it. The poor ia
ther still held the lines in his stiff hands.

Bohemian Oats"

Farmers in several parts of the country
inquire as TO the so-called Bohemian Oat,"
and about the "Co." engaged in selling
them. The old "Skinless' oat was some
years ago sold under the name of "Bohem-
ian," and we are informed that the grain
now sold is similar. The Skinless is very
old variety, that is valued in Europe, but
has not met with marked success in this
country. The present interest in these
Bohemian oats is not so much in their in
trinsic value as farm crop, as in the man.
ner in which they are sold. The agents who

dollars a bushel. induce farmers to purchase
by promise to sell for them from their 1.-THE
farmer's) crop, twice as many bushels as they
purchased, at the same priee-ten dollars.
The farmer is induced TO buy ten bushels of
the oats for one hundred dollars, by the
hope of selling twenty bushels for two hun
dred dollars, and he thinks this is guaranteed
to him by bond" given by the seller.
This bond, IN spite of the abundance of
green and red inks, its very broad seal (in-
tended to look like gold, but is only Dutch
metal) and the bold signature of Secre-
tary, this "bond," so-called, has no more
binding effect than a mere memorandum.

Arbitration Best for Farmers.
[Ameriean Agrieulturist.l


Arbitration is almost invariably preferable
to litigation. 1t is not only the easiest,
quickest and cheapest way to settle disagree
ments, but saves much vexation and subse-
quent dissention. Where individuals, cor
porations and nations, to arrange their dis
putes by arbitration, instead of resorting to
litigation and warfare, and the people would
be saved millions of treasure, and the world
spared much sheddidg of blood. A peace
full settlement of difficulties is usually fol-
lowed by prosperity, while going to law
or war usually results in loss and suffering
to both constituents. Indeed, litigation and
50 long as they continue in vogue, we may
look in vain for harbingers OF
the promised millennium. OF all
classes, farmers should so far as possible
avoid entering into litigation, fOr whether
they win or lose, they are proverbially
wOTsted, the lawyers usually taking the
cream and leaving only the skim-milk to
the winning contestant Truly, there is
neither glory, nor honor, profit nor pleasure
in litigation, and the less people who profess
to live 'On the square," and according to the
Commandments, have to do Herewith, the
better it will be for both their present and
future peace and prosperity. Even in the
most aggravating cases of trespass, and the
like, no good citizen should resort to the
law until all amicable attempts at settlement
have failed. Indeed, and finally, whatever
may be the provocation, don't get mad and
impulsively prosecute your neighbor, but
keep your temper and-arbitrate.

Farm Hints for March.

Farm work in March is more dependent
upon the weather and climate than that of
any other month, and although our South
ern readers will be well forwarded with their
potato planting, aud even have their spring
grain sown, before the month comes in,
whether 1t comes ''like lion," or like
lamb" we of the frigid North may have still
three feet of frost in the ground, and perhaps
good sleighing up to the 18th, northeasters
lasting week, spring floods, and roads which
neither horses feet nor wagon wheels can
find bottom in, may be the order of the day.
So hints about work must be taken with
liberal allowance for the waywardness OF this
first spring, and last winter month.
New seeds and new tools should not be lost
sight of, and it will often pay to test the
former in small quantities; then, if they ID
well, you will have some seed yourself and
may easily get more. We need not remin1
our readers to be beforehand with their
work. Spring grains can hardly be in the
ground too soon after the frost is out. Pota-
toes follow as soon as there is reasonable
warmth in the ground. Grass seed and clo-
yer may be sown with spring grain, and
clover on winter grain is best sown upon one
of the last light winter SHOWS. The earlier
manure is out upon grass and grain land, the
better. Even when the manure is intended
for a corn crop, and not to be plowed under
under until the first part of May. the gain in
the growth of grass will more than compen-
safe the loss by the action of rains and dry
ing winds, except upon hillsides and spots
where the land Is especially exposed to the
washing of heavy rains. 1t is rare that the
month passes without warm and dry wealth
er sufficient to put the ground in condition
for blowing throughout the great middle
corn and small grain belt of the country.

Care of Young Lambs.

A newly dropped lamb is insignificant. yet
it has an ultimate value of several dollars.
We have at times realized from $40 down to
$3.50 per head for our crop of spring lambs,
and these small sums may make up in the
aggregate, a large amount. The lambs are
therefore to be carefully nursed through
their weak and helpless stage and then fed
iudiciously but literally. Overlooking is
the great danger. A small quantity of warm,
fresh cows milk, given to weak lamb three
times a day through a nursing bottle, will
help it wonderfully. When Ihe lambs are
three or four weeks old, an ounce daily for
each lamb, of a mixture of corn and rye
ground together finely. will be serviceable
1t is, however, better to feed half pint of it
daily to each eve, which will help the lamb
more than if il were given to it.

LOUISE MICHEL IN PRISON.
on the Relative Sociability of
Cats and Rats.
TParis Letter 10 the London News

Paris Letter to the London News.
Louise Michel brought four cats with her
from Noumea to France. They were given
her when she arrived in New Caledonia by a
convict, who had served her time and was
returning to Europe. The youngest, Nous
tache, is now sixteen, and the eldest. Ninette,
nineteen. They were with her at st. Lazare.
The fourth killed himself under circum-
stances honorable to himself and his mis-
treSs. The day she was returning from Lon
don be was on the top of house. When
he saw her getting out of the cab, he, in
trying to jump from balcony to balcony, fell
into the street from the third story and was
so injured that he died in few hours
These cats at st. LaZare were taught to live
on good terms with the rats that came every
morning in crowds to Louise's cell to be fed.
i asked the Cheyenne what she thought
OF the rat. She said that it was intelligent,
incapable of attaching itself, she thought, to
human being, and more on the lookout for
benefits to come than for past services, but
family affection was strong in his heart.
Young rats were not only kind but respect
full to their aged relations and indeed, to old
rats in general. Mothers, directly they had
weaned their little ones not only brought
them to Louise's cell, but placed them at her
feet and seemed to ASK her protection for
them. There were rats toothless from age.
When a crust was thrown to them younger
it comfortably. If younger rat was so i'll
bred as to helf itself before an elderly one,
the others were down upon 1T.
Before the cats had been taught to live in
amity with the denizens of the sewer, Nous
tache bit the paw off one of the latter. Ac-
cording to Louise Michel, there was quite
an explosion of sympathy among her four
footed visitors on behalf of the wounded one,
and she gained their confidence by letting it
down with string from her window into
the court, after she had nursed it for about
fortnight When she had been some time
in Jail the rats grew so dainty that they
would not eat plain bread unless she got it
toasted for them. The Governor of the prison
who was most kind to her, and who is a
naturalist and I'm homme d'esprit, enjoyed
her succ sssful attempts to bring cats and rats
to live in amity and to tame the latter. She
could never domesticate them. No sooner
had she fed them than they all climbed up
the wall to the window and passed out there
by to return to their sewers.
