An ARRAY, which came near terminal
ing fatally, occurred on Wednesday night,
about o'clock, between J. V. LeSage
md j. II. Cole, in which the latter was
ably beaten about the head, and rem
alered insensible for an hour or more. 1t
is almost impossible to get at the facts,
but both parties we're drinking a good
deal at the time, and we suppose it Is
hard for either to say what caused the
row. AS a pistol was fred, for an honr
it was thought Cole was shot through
the head, but subsequent investigation
showed that the bullet did not hit him.

Soft Soap for Fruit Trees.

If one has an old orchard, the trunks
and larger branches covered with loos,
bark. on which moSses and liehens find 1
foothold, and which afford hiding place
for numerous injurious insects in yariou:
states of deyelopement, the first thing &c
be done is to serspe off all the loose scales
Of bark. Use a moderately dull hoe-a
sharp one might injure the bark; one with
a short handle viii allow the lower branch
Is to be reached. Use the home made
soft soap, dilute it with hot water, stir it
well until it is thin enought to apply with
a small whitewash brush or large paint
brush. Put plenty Of it on the trunks and
the larger branches.
One should endeavor to apply the soap
very early in spring, so that it may not dry
mp at once, but be gradually washed of by
the rains that usually occur at this season.
When the trees have had thorough wash
ing. the bark will present beautifully
smooth appearance that will amply repay
one for the trouble For removing the
green growth on the outside of flower pots,
this soap is excellent; it has also been re-
commended as vehicle TO apply kerosene
for aphides or plant lice and other insects.
One pint of soft soap is mixed with half a
pint Of kerosene. Mix thoroughly, add to
seven or eight gallons of water, and apply
with syringe This has been found de-
structive to the chinch bug.

Profitable Painstaking.


Here is a wheat experiment which well
illustrates the importance of keen sense add
painstaking on the modern farm. Mr..
Mir. Of France, is a farmer whose speciality
is wheat. He experimental with some Of
the new crack varieties, and found that On
his farm they did not turn out as well as in
the locality Of their origin Accordingly
he concluded TO test selected seed from the
wheats already acclimated in his neighbOr-
hood. Here is the result of this very
commou-sense experiment The land on
which il was tried had been manured in the
autumn with superphosphate in the ratio
of zoe pounds per acre, and in the follow
ing spring with nitrate Of soda at the rate
of 100 pounds per acre. In the subsequent
autumn, = Is acres were sown with unse-
leeted wheat, and l-5 acres were sown
with selected grains Of the same variety.
The 3 is acres yielded co. bushels Of
wheat weighing GAIT pounds per bushsl,
equivalent TO "a l-5 bushels to the acre.
The / I-5 acres sown with selected seed
yielded 49, bushels weighing 70. Is pounds
per bushel, or an equivalent of All bushels
to the acre. At the current price of wheat
in his locality, Mr.. Mrs painstaking yielded
him an extra income on the land sOwn with
selected seed at the rate of fourteen dollars
an acre, in round numbers. To get his
seed, Mr.. Mir employed two methods.
One was the screening of the grain, keep
ing for seed only the kernels which were
too large to pass the screen. The other
was the selection of the heaviest heads of
wheat from the stoutest stalks in the field.
OF these he threw away the extremities,
retaining for seed only the perfected grains
in the middle of the heads. 1t Is needless
TO add that heEceforth Mr.. Mir will not
concern himself so much with improved
varieties of wheat as with careful attention
to the material already in hand

Ght &armer,
Apple Butter.
From vick's Magazine.

From vick's Magazine.
About a year ago you asked whether the
making of the above was among the "lost
arts, and to judge by the recipe for max
ing it which writer gave you, don
wonder. | will give you the old Pennsyl
vania plan, that we used to make by, and
which we still follow here fifty years later
If people viii follow this, and they then
say the art is lost, | win quit giving in
structions. To forty gallons of good sweet
cider made from sound, ripe apples, use
three bushels of select apples. The cidel
should be boiled down to one-third or 8
little less before putting in the apples
which should be pared clean, all speeks
bruises, seeds and seed cavities removed
They may be quartered, or cut into Fights
if very large If in hurry the apples
can be boiled in little water before putting
into the cider Stirring should commence
as soon as the fruit gets soft, and be kept
up carefully until done. At all times pre-
vent the flames Of FIRE striking the kettle
above the line of contents.
When boiled down to ten gallons it will
be done, and it viii be an article fit for a
king. Put in earthern vessels, and when
cold dip clean white paper into good whis-
key or brandy, and lay it over the tops
In four months from making, if kept in a
garnet, (the best place. the jars can be
inverted on a floor or shelf without running
out; will keep for years, and if made with
the right kind of apples, such as Rambo
and Smokehouse, or Bellfower, will be-
come as smooth as cheese.
There are establishments out West where
they make what they call apple-butter, but
which the knowing ones call ''sass, that
sells for twenty-five cents per gallon.
would not take it bestowed, as it invariably
ferments and is poor article at best
Such as We make would command at
least double as much, but even that won't
pay, unlesss one is fixed to make it on =
large scale. But there are many things
that can be afforded for ones own family
use that cannot be made to sell at the mar
ket price

Earth in the Stable.

Nothing will purify and keep stable
so free from odors as the free use of dry
earth, and every one keeping horses OF
cattle will find it pays to keep heap of
it at hand, to be used daily. A few
shovelfuls of earth scattered over the floor
after cleaning will render the air of the
apartments pure and wholesome. The
value of the seasons manure pile may be
largely increased by the free use Of such
absorbents. The strength of the gases and
LIQUIDS absorbed is retained, and is the
very essence of good manure.
