FARM AND HoUsEnOLD.

The BARNYARp.-Of all the leaks OH
farm, says the R,ral World, leaky,
sloping barnyard is the worse. The
time honored fashion of placing the
barn on knoll or the highest spot Of
land near the house is most reprehen-
sible one. More wealth glides away
from such a sunny, elevated barnyard
than can be computed. 1t must reach
far ND into the millions annually. The
number of barns that are so placed that
the water that falls from the roof at
each rain and rushes through and washes
out the valuable soluble portions, can
be numbered by hundreds of thousands.
Every level-headed farmer, has or
should have, a level or slightly cOncave
barnyard, much in the form Of an in
verted watch crystal. Ii fiat, and the
bottom is of clay, the outer edge should
be raised to height of at least one foot,
so that no water would escape that had
fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion of the whea: straw
into valuable manure, the stack should
be built i'm the centre of such yard,
and sufficient straw be scattered from
time to time to keep the yard in passable
condition.
10 make the manure heap of the
greatest value, the manure Of the vari-
Gus kinds Of farm animals should be
daily or frequently scattered over the
straw i'm the yard, so that each. possess
ing a distinctive value of its own, would
become thoroughly cOmmingled and
thus form manure i'm common, that is
especially well adapted to growing all
kinds of crops. Such daily or weekly
deposits i'm the manure bank enable the
thrifty farmer TO check out from time
to time reasonable amount of valuable
manure without danger of overdrawing
his account. The farmer who has II
good bank Of well-decOmposed manure
made annually subject to his order, is,
and can be, the only true Independent
one, for the income derived from abun-
dant crops will as surely make him so
ms ten times one are ten. Feed the soil.
and it will, in turn, feed. clothe and
enrich you.

Norfolk, Va, is queer old town
with great deal Of enterprise. 1t has
good stores and its people seem to be
well-dressed and rather cosmopolitan.
Norfolk contains about $4,000 inhabi-
tants. and it is the second cotton port
in the United States. II has one Of the
best water-fronts in the country, and
The ocean steamers take on cotton here
for Europe.
A number Of steam cotton-presses
boom away here, night and day, pack
ing cotton for shipment, and there is a
new one here which is the largest COT
ton. gress in the world, | am told. II is
a new invention, aud has only lately
been manipulated satisfactorily. 1t has
5000 tons pressure, and it can take
four large bales of cotton and squeeze
thsm into less space than that occupied
by one. These bales each hold about
five hundred pounds. They are rolled
on to the press, which is machine
composed Of two big iron jaws, one Of
which rests high above the other. The
bales Of cotton are laid on the lower
one, and the other hangs over it. a
lever is turned and the lower jaw be
gins to rise, and it presses up against
the other jaw with wonderful force
After a number Of bales have been
thus pres.ed-and, by the way, J
forgot to mention that they were
bound together while they are in the
press-four OF these pressed bales are
piled up on top Of one another on
the lower jaw, and the great press
squeezes them up so that they look
almost like leaves, and you pack away
2,OO0 pounds OF cotton in the hold Of
ship in a less space than 500 would
have occupied without this machine.
Norfolk is probably the greatest pea
nut market in the world. Virgins
raises q million and half bushels OF
peanuts year, and many Of the pea
nuts Of other States are shipped from
this point.

A Washington special says: The

Siberia, gives the following particulars
with regard to Lieutenant Schuetze's s
journey to the mouth Of the Lena river
with gifts and rewards for the officials
AID natives who aided the survivors OF
the Arctic exploring steamer Jeanette :
Lieutenant Schue.ze, having dis
charged the duty laid upon him, is no "

weapons, domestic tools and utensils,

terestiDg will be found his personal OBJ
seryations upon the natives who live
along the northern banks Of the Lena
and the Arctic ocean. The quantity
and the value Of the rewards so care
fully distributed by Lieutenant Schuetze
are unusual in our country. To the two
Ispravniks (of Verkhoyansk and
Kolymsk) he brought watches and gold
medals. Among the other benedcia-
ries--principally natives-he distri-
buted eight gold and twelve sill
YER medals, with the inscription
For Courage and Humanity :;
13 very valuable guns, l,200 rubles IN

One Of the most diabOlical crimes ever
perpetrated in North Texas occurred

day afternoon. The facts are as fol-
lows: The sentenced prisoners con-
fined in the county jail--John Smith,
eleven years, for horse-stealing Tom

james Adair soon discovered what
had occurred, mounted a horse, an
followed in pursuit, securing tbs coun-

came up with three prisoners just as they
were emerging from a dense copso
