A Big Price for q Tree.

Curly Walnut is highly valued by
veneer makers, if it contain the right
kind Of figure. A curious story comes
from West Virginia about curly log.
A woodsman found tree somewhere in
the region about Kanawha Falls that he
concluded was very valuable. He Sc
cured sample and forwarded it to a
handler of such wood in Baltimore.
The result was that the discover received
an offer for the tree, probably amount
ing to $4,000. subsequently the Balti-
more man sold share of the chance to
an Indianapolis dealer, who opened nego-
tiations with the woodsman for posses
siun of the prize, at length going to
West Virginia to prosecute the enter
prise. When the affair had reached this
stage the wootlsman concluded that the
tree was worth $4,000, and demanded
that sum for it, or he would not yield
up his knowledge. Seeing that the In
dianapolis man was bound to find the
tree, if possible, the discoverer cut it
down and buried it in the earth. A
thorough search has. as yet, failed to re-
veal the hiding place of the log, and the
man who holds the secret declares that
nothing but $4,000 will bring it to the
surface. Detroit FREE Press.

There IL less danger from bleeding by
leaving half-inch of horn than by cut
ting closer. After removing the horn,
fill the cavity with water warmed to
temperature of about 100 degrees F.,
then insert small wad Of tow or oak
um and swab the water out gently: This
is to remove the sawdust which has
worked into the cavity of the he nd while
saving the horn. If the wound bieeds
freely gather some cobwcbs and apply to
it. Apply little tar to the head
around the stub of the horn, and lay
piece Of the cotton cloth over it so as to
prevent chaff and dirt working into the
cavity. lfthe sawdust is not removed as
suggested, a sore will generally form,
and the dust will he discharged with'pus.
A one per cent. solution of carbollc ACID
would be preferable to clear water for
the purpose of rinsing the cavity. April
is a favorable month for dishornlng.
The operation should not be performed
during severe cold nor very warm
weather. If it is done during the latter
the flies will be liable to trouble the
wound badly unless carbo:ic acid and
tar is literally applied. 1t would be
much better to perform this operation
upon calves when the horns arc just start
ing than to waituntii developed. A sharp
knife and pair of forceps would soon
complete the job at this stage OF the
animals life. There are many advantages
in having hornless herd of cattle, and
on the whole it would seem advisable to
use bulls of the polled variety when they
can lie obtained, rather than to be 10 the

Attractions of One of the Azores.

At San Miguel the first real disappoint-
ment came in shape of the announcement
that the steamer would not stay long
enough to go to the Furnas. The Fur
mas has, it is claimed, the most wonder
full no: springs in the world. You can
sit with one foot in hot sulphur spring
and have the other in hot iron, while you
drink soda water from wellin front and
brandy punch from another at your back.
There are also several streams running
through the place where boiled trout can
be easily caug ght and if this is all strictly
true, there is no question but the Furnas
has yet to be developed as winter re-
sort. Being compelled to miss this, we
tried to drown sorrow in the native pine
apples, and my impression is that shall
try to have some more sorrow to drown
next time I 60 to the pace. If the pine
apples of San Miguel were any better, a

America are like grapeshot compared
with these. .-Boston Transcript.

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
TepthS

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twitting
they get about this nasal twang and yet it is
fact caused by our dry stimulating atmos-
phere. and the universal presence of catar-
rhal diffiu,ties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeths
That is more of poser to the English. 1t
is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory Of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudepce ia eating and by want
Of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
modern one, one unknown TO ott' ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use OF
what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy and Log

dies handed down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the strong
est guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world-famed makers of Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used as the
spring and summer seasons advance give
positive assurance Of freedom, both from
catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected,
inevitable consequences, pneumonia. lung

orally and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli fisher, of Salem. Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted a disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages:

DiShorning Cattle.

The practice OF saving horns from
cattle is becoming quite common in
some sections of the West. 1t is also
practiced to some extent in the Middle
and Eastern States. 1t seems to he
cruel practice at best, yet in the case of
vicious bulls which are liable to kill their
keepers, it is doubtless safer and better
for all concerned to remove these danger
Gus appendages. Many claim that the
operation gives the animal no more pain
than the pulling of tooth, but since the
subjects operated upon are unable to
state the sensation, the statement will be
accepted by some with a slight discount.
Pulling teeth is anything put pleasant
pastime to most persons who undergo
the operation. The fact that no cases
of death have yet been reported as re-
sulting from dishorning, shows that it is
not attended with great danger to the
animal. The operation can be performed
by any ore who can handle saw ! he
latter should be very fine toothed one
and as sharp as it can be made. The
head of the patient should be drawn to
one side and securely fastened. A strong
snap ring, such as is used for leading
cattle, and can be found at any country
hardware store, should be inserted in the
nose and made fast to strong stanchion,
plank, post, or some other convenient
Object. Have dish of blood-warm water
close at hand and small quantity of tow,
cotton batting or oakum, also a little
common tar and some pieces of strong
cotton cloth about three or four
inch's in diameter. The horns
should be cut from one-fourth
TO exc half an inch from the skin.

The Education Of the Presidents.

President Cleveland, says Frank G.
Carpenter, never went to college, and
Washington, Jackson, Van Burcn, Tay-
lor, Fillmore, Lincoln and johnson had
no college training. John Adams was
educated at Harvard. Thomas Jefferson
studied Latin at William and Mary, and
Madison probably used ony translations
while he was at Princeton. Monroe and
TYLER were also students at William and
Mary, at Williamsburg, and John
Quincy Adams graduated at Harvard.
Harrison was college bred. Pierce was a
good mathematical student at Bowdoin
College, and Buchanan went to school
at Dickinson College. Gen. Grant was
the only President who had a military
education, thougha number of the Prcsi-
dents were soldiers. lie went to school
at West Point. Rutherford Hayes was
educated in Ohio, and his school was
5>enyon College. Garfield studied at
Wiijams, Massachusetts,, and President
Arthur was schoo ed at Union College.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
The Poultry-HouSe

Before setting hens, clean out all ac-
cumulations under the roosts aud scatter
clean sand or dry earth there to absorb
any odor that may remain. Also remove
all Old straw from the nests. Then put
in pan of hot Goals, On which throw a
handful of sulphur, and close the room
for an hour or two until the sulphur
smoke has penetrated every part of the
building. Now dip a stiff bush in
kerosene, and brush roosts, nest boxes
and walls thoroughly. After this clean
straw may be put in the nests, and the
fowl allowed to return with prospect
of having them comparatively free from
vermin for while. When eggs are
wanted for Matching they should be COL
lected two or three times day as long
the weather continues cold, that they
may not become chilled in the slightest
degree. Even wien the chilling Is not
enough to prevent the egg from hatch
ing, it seems to take something from the
vitality OF the chicken, so that it is a
weakling and liable to fail and droop
upon very slight cause, and sometimes
when there is no apparent cause--Cutt-

Hard and Soft Water in Cooking.

All cooks do not understand the diff
ferent effects produced by hard and soft
water in cooking meat and vegetables.
Peas and beans cooked in hard water,
containing lime or gypsum, will not boil
tender because these substances harden
vegetable caseine. Many vegetables, as
onions, boil nearly tasteless in soft water,
because all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions, causing tie vegeta-
b!es to retain the peculiar Aavorlng prjn-
ciples, besides such nutritious matter as
might be lost in soft water. For ex-
tracing the juice of meat to make a
broth or soup, soft water, unsaltea and
cold at first, is the best, for it much
more eddy penetrates the tissue; but
for boiling where the juices should be
retained, hard water or soft water salted
is preferable, and the meat should be
put in while the water is boiling, so as
to seal up the pores at once. Journal Of
UemiStlV.

Sprcadio~ Fresh Manure.

Previous, to the year 1SS4-S5 We threw
our stable manure out in the feed lot with
the manure made outside. Here it al
ways had to remain till after harvest the
next summer, of course wasting all the
time. In December, 1854, we began
hauling direct from the stables to the
field and spreading Immediately. The
field was plowed for corn in the spring,
it being a clover and timothy sod of
one year after the wheat. The season
was dry till August, when we had an
abundance of rain. The smanured por-
tion made three bushels of seventy
pounds for every shoci of 144 hills, all
good, sound corn. The same kind of
soil without manure made less than two
bushels. The corn was cut and the field
thoroughly narrowed and sown to wheat.
1t averaged twenty-three bushels per
acre. Am satisfied it would have made
twenty-five bushels but for some hogs
getting in just after cutting and destroy
ing many of the shocks. The portions
where the fresh manure was spread were
almost, if not quite, twice as heavy as
the unmanured part. The straw was
thick and considerably lodged, but we'll

The Olive in California.

The olive is to be a source Of great
wealth to Northern California. 1t will
flourish here better than IN Italy, where
about ., 900, OO9 acres are devoted to the
tree. Wesay "better" advisedly, because
in the new soil of this State the yield is
fully double to the acre attained in the
warm soil of Italy. There is no tree
worthy of so much attention here. 1t is
pre- emincntly adapted to the foothill
region, since 1t thrivcs in the dryest and
most rocky soils without irrigation, and
in such situations gives oil of finer
quality than that obtained from olive
orchards on rich alluviat soil. But both
valley and foothills are suitable to the
olive. .-OrooiNe (Cal.) Register.

1t is good to be merry at meat.
Clean piano keys with a soft rag dipped
in alcohol.
Egg stains on silver can be taken of
with table salt and wet rag.
Cold sliced potatoes fry and taste bet

If you wish to retain the color in
strawberries do not allow them to come
in contact with pewter or tin.
To polish nickel plated goods after be-
coming black and not worn, use rouge OF
whiting on a rag with little oil.
It's not good plan to take off the
cover of the stove to toast or boil any
thing when there is dish in the oven.

To prevent irons from rusting, warm
your iron til you cannot bear your hand
on it without burning yourself. Then
rub it with new clean wax. Put it again
to the fire till it has soaked in the wax.
When done, rub it over with piece OF
serge. This prevents the iron from rust

The very best nourishment for inva:ids

The Moons Changes and Agricul,
ture.

When the planting and sowing season
arrives we hear a good deal about the
moon and its light and dark and the
signs of the zodiac. This is all the last
lingering remains of the raganism of the
dark ages, which have been handed down
by tradition from one &c Grafton to an
other, and which has been kept alive
to large extent by the popular almanac
makers, who thus cater to popular super
stition for the purpose of selling their
books. While we do not know certain
ly, if at all, what causes the varying
changes of the weather, we do know
that the moons inhsence upon the at
mosphere is 80 trivial that it is not ap-
parent to the senses, and there is nothing
periodical or reducible to rule in the
changes of the weather as there is in the
action of the tides. Observations have
been made through long periods of years
by scientific men upon the changes of
the moon and their relation to the
weather, but they have all been contra
dictory and irregular, and nothing has
been observed that you'd give any rea-
son TO connect the two. AS regards the
supposed relation of the moons changes
to changes of the weather it has been
noted that Of 100 changes of the moon
to new there were fifty eight changes of
the weather; with 1C0 full moons the
changes were siXty-eight, and with 10)
changes of each quarter sixty-thrce
changes of the weather. Thus, contrary
to the popular superstition, the new
moon was accompanied by the fewest
weather variations.
The traditions concerning the effect
of the moons changes upon the sowing
of seed, the growth of twining plants,
as beans, and the quality of pork, are too
absurd for belief by persons of any
reasonable liberal education, because
they know that the natural functions of
vegetables and animals are founded upon
distinct and unchang.ng laws of plant
and animal growth, and that these laws
cannot be varied to the least degree by
any slight defect the variations of the
moons light and its reflected heat can
have upon the temperature of our atmo,
sphere. The termination of seeds is not
affected by few degrees variation in
the temperature for few days; the twi,t-
ing of vine, it is we'll known, is caused
by the spiral arrangement of the cells of
the stem, and some plants twine in a
direction the reverse of that taken by
Others, while the quality of the flesh and
fat of a pig is due to the feeding only.
If the foolishness of the quack medicine
almanacs could be put a stop to the most
effective support of these fanciful and
superstitious popular errors would be re-
moved. and in the course of few gener-
alton they would be forgotten. Possibly
We say this because not long ago we'll
known contributor 10 various agrlcul-
tural journals, and graduate Of a col
lege, recommended to dock lambs tails
when the sup was sin the vitals." This
may, however, be taken as an instance
of eruption of a natural weakness il
the mans intellect.-1Incs.
