DOCTOR scHLIEMANN.
The Wonderful Linguistic Achievements
of the Great ExcaVator.

The Wonderful Linguistic Achievements
of the Great Excavator.
Doctor Schliemann, whose chief
claim to fame rests upon his excava-
tions of the sites of classical Greek
cities, possesses in remarkable de-
gree the the ''gift of tongues" In an
interesting account of the struggles of
his early life-he was born of poor
parents in a Mecklenburg village-re-
Gently given at meeting held in his
honor at Heidelberg, the explorer de-
scribed the steps by which he became
an accomplished hnguist.
He conceived a strong desire to learn
Greek from having, when shop-boy,
heard drunken man, who had been
well brought up, recite some lines of
Homer. In 1841 Schliemann, who had
betaken himself to seafaring life,
was wrecked on the coast of Holland,
and barely escaped with his life.
He then obtained a situation in an
Office at Amsterdam, and Immediately
set himself, though having little time
and less money to pay teachers, to
master the languages he was bent on
acquiring.
By his own efforts and by his own
method-which was boldly to begin to
write a language, and when possible to
get friend to correct his productions
he learned English in six months,
French in another six months, and
passed on to Dutch, Spanish, Italian
and Portuguese.
Then he attacked Russian, which, OF
course, gave him more trouble, but
brought its great reward, tor it opened
to him the road to Russian commerce,
in which he attained wealth of which
he had never dreamed.
After this he mastered Polish, Swed-
ISL, Greek ancient and modern, Latin
and Arabic. Though some of these
languages are, of course, scarcely more
than dialects of an original stem, the
list is portentous enough to challenge
attention.
1t is claimed for Cardinal Mezzofanti
that ne was master of about seventy
languages, but by many the claim has
been disputed. Incidentally Doctor
Schliemann mentioned that he had not
yet done with excavations. He next
intends to make some experiments in

Spring Management of Strawberries.

Work on the strawberry bed should
commence before the plants begin to
grow. The sooner the manure is
spread over the plants the quicker will
be its effects after spring sets in. There
are several reasons for giving good
coating of manure. one being to supply
plant food and the other to protect the
vines. If this is done early no damage
will be caused to the plants, but if it
is delayed until the plants begin to
grow it is often the case that where
the manure is very concentrated, such
as the droppings from poultry, the
plants will be killed.
A mulch or covering should consist
of manure, as it will be saving of
labor, and the plants will get the beue-
fit of the matter dissolved by the rains.
The covering is not intended to keep
the plants warm, as that is impossible,
but to prevent the ground from warm
ing too early or too suddenly. 1t is
just as important to mulch in those
sections where the climate is mild as
it is to do so where the winters are
severe, owing to the alternate freezing
and thawing of the ground. If the
ground is frozen it can be partially
kept in that condition by the mulch,
which prevents the plants from being
thrown up out of the soil, and also
from beginning growth too early in the
season. In this section the winter is
seldom very cold previous to january,
and the necessity for mulch is great
er in mild winter than at any other
time, owing to the liability of the
plants to begin to grow too early.
Except in the middle of the row the
strawberry bed needs no cultivation
unless the plants are grown in single
stools, but to facilitate picking the crop,
all weeds that may appear should be
| pulled out by hand as soon as possible.
Every weed that is allowed to remain
robs the plants and loosens the crop.
Wood ashes are excellent for strawber-
ries, but if commercial fertilizers are
used, high grade salts Of potash, and
at least two bags of superphosphate per
acre, will be the best form, and it
should be applied early in the season,
first raking off the mulch and break
ing all Jumps of the manure, SO as to
have all the substance as fine as posi-
bic. If there is liability of dry wealth
er, which is injurious to straw berries,
the use of chopped salt hay around the
single stool plants will be of advant-
age. All fertilizers should be evenly
distributed, and may be used literally.

delights in the enjoyment 1t affords.
In winter, however, when the ground
is frozen hard, it sometimes become :
difficult matter to provide the hens
with adust-bath, especially if there are
several flocks. Now is the time to Law
up supply of dirt for the purpose.
The dirt should be fine and well sifted
in order that it may be more properlv
adapted to the purposes intended.
Wood-ashes are unsuitable, owing IN
the caustic properties of the potash.
which creates sores on the skin
should the weather be damp. Finely
sifted coal ashes entirely free from adj
mixture of wood ashes, are excellent.
but a full supply is not always obtain
able. The cheapest and easiest mode
is to lay by a supply of dirt, either
from the road or the field, but it should
be perfectly dry, or stored in a dry
place, or it can not be used when the
necessity arises. In winter a box one
yard square and six inches deep, filed
within an inch of the top with the dirt,
is just what the hens will appreciate.
The dirt may remain in the box as long
as it is dry and clean, but should be re-
moved at least once a week. By sprink-
ling few drops of solution of car
bolic acid in the dust bath, any uu-
pleasant odors may be removed. and
the dirt rendered more acceptable

HERE AND THERE.

Haul out your manure now and get
it out of the way before spring. By so
doing the manure will be in better con-
dition for the crops.
When the spring rains come do
not allow any of the water to flow into
the well. Grade up around the well SO
as to turn the surface water off.
Salt is said to be an excellent
fertilizer in peach orchards. A better
fertilizer would be twenty parts wood
ashes to one of salt, applied broadcast
One of the most important items of
poultry management is to keep the
drinking vessels clean. In order to do
this it will be necessary to wash out
clean every day or two.
Thousands ofdollars' worth of grain
is destroyed annually by mice, rats and
other vermin, that may be saved by
using half-inch wire netting under the
floors of stables and barns.
Moist, damp soil, is sometimes the
most valuable. Celery, and in some
sections onions, do best on such soils.
If the soil is sandy strawberries will
thrive better on damp soils that are not
too wet.
The properly-fattened animals

points where further feeding would

to know when this point is reached.
The Matching of the tent caterpil-
Ter can, to a great measure, be pre-
vented by going through the orchard
and picking off the clusters Of eggs

During the winters is q good time TO
do this while the foliage is off, as they
can be seen more readily.
Paint is an important substance on

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Bookkeeping.

DGS"NeGptUBs
Bookkeeping is different from all the
other small industries. 1t is all the
while novel. In the study of the honey
bee, every day presents some new phase
some new problem for solution, to
entertain and instruct.
The wide-awake bee-keeper is fully
alive to the Importance of the work
required in the apiary. As soon
as the bees commence to gather
pollen, the queens are stimulat-
ed to the production of eggs, and
brood-rearing goes on with vigor if
the colonies are strong, with plenty
of bees and stores. In the elabora-
ton of the food for the larvae, great
quantities of both honey and pollen
are used up. and unless the colony has
on hand sufficient honey to last till
they can gather from natural sources,
the colony is destined to perish. What
bloom there is in February yields but
little honey; and most frequently at
this time the weather is too inclement
for the bees to stir.
All colonies should be examined this
month, to see their condition. The
bottom boards of the hives should be
kept clean; for in the debris of wax
and dirt there are plenty of eggs OF the
bee-moth to hatch and develop into
destructive larvae. If you find any
deficient in store they must be fed.
TO ten pounds of granulated sugar add
a gallon and half of water, and ag-
itate the mixture until all the sugar is
dissolved. Feed a pint or quart at a
time, or as much as the bees will take
up. If the weather is cold, the feed
must be placed Immediately over the
cluster, in feeder that will allow
them to crawl to the feed without a
loss of heat.
If the weather is mild and the bees
can fly, it is more convenient to place
it in feeder that can be attached to
the outside of the hive, and at the
same time admit of the bees crawling
to the feed from the inside. With this
style of feeder there is no danger of
robbing, and it obviates all necessity
of opening hives, removing covers,
etc.
After you commence to feed, keep it
up until they have stored a sufficient
quantity to last till they can gather
from natural sources. With bees,
poverty freezes the genial currents OF
the SOUL" pretty much the same as il
does with humans. When colony OF
bees feel themselves rich and above
want, they work with vim, breed
rapidly, and generally throw early
swarms. These are the only kind OF
colonies that enrich the bee-keeper and
make his profits. When a colony is toe
weak to be built up into strong one
in time for the honey-harvest, it had
better be united with some other weak
one.
Provide yourselves with empty hives,
frames, sections and foundations, etc,
before the time you want to use them.
If you ''take time by the forelock," il
may save you bees, and will save your
temper and stop you thinking profan.

Garden on the Farm.

To open the subject we may say:
First, the garden should be near the
dwelling, so that the family can have
easy access to it; should have south
or southeastern exposure; and that
the soil be light loan and naturally
well drained. The location being a
starting and important point, the
other two requisites of soil and drain-
age, if not right by natural conditions,
must be made so by artificial means,
such as undertaking, if too wet, aud
the application of woods mold or
sand, if too stiff. No trouble in cult
ure or production will follow after
proper soil is obtained. Second, the
shape of the garden-plat should
be parallelogram, with sides
three times longer than the ends; a
roadway through the center length
wise will be useful in hauling in and
dumping manure on either side for
convenient spreading; the planting
and cultivation in long rows parallel
to the roadway may be done by light
one-horse plows and other implements.
About one third of the ground at one
end may be devoted to grapes and
small fruits, and when these need cuI-
ture it may be given by planting be-
tween the rows light crop, such as
bush-beans or peas. Irish potatoes
between the spaces, with their culture
and manuring, would be beneficial to
the vines and shrubs. Third, neat
and substantial Enclosure will be in
dispensable. Southern Planter.

WHEN people fall into sudden fortune,
we wonder thatthey SO often squander or
misuse it. They only illustrate the law
of living that one can not either rightly
employ or truly enjoy what one has not
in some true sense earned. Only the
worker knows the meaning of rest. Only
the wise man knows the Incapacity of the
ignorant Only the liberal can measure
the p,tlful littleness of the stingy. So
only he who has worked his way to the

acter can appreciate the value Of life and
