Mystery of q Wreck.

The old wreck recently discovered by
the diving class of the torpedo station at
Newport, r. l.. promises to become an
especial object of interest. 1t lies COM
pletely buried in mud and stone on the
west side of the torpedo station, within
couple of hundred feet of the island.
Diver Felies has done some excellent
work already in sending up two ancient
carronades completely carbonized. With
careful handling, Tuesday, the first was
found stamped with cross above the
letter GA" and under the letter the
figures 2, %. The second cannon
showed the letter ''P" above the number
81, 26. The bell of the vessel was dis
covered, and while still under water
ascending to the surface was observed to
be quite bright. But the instant it
struck the air it turned quite black.
The piece containing the name is missing
yet. The diver says the stern is very
high, and she is in galleon. Some of
her stern timbers were brought up and
landed. The timbers were nearly two
feet thick. Three solid two-inch cannon
balls have been dug out Of her starboard
timbers. Not sign of iron or nails is
to be found, though there are the holes
where they have been. The diver de.
scribes her as looking just like a house
after it had fallen down. He has worked
bis way into the magazine, which is
sheathed with lead. Some of this lead
has been hauled up, and is in perfect
condition in every way. He has also
come across o number of barrels, the
upper half of which is completely eaten
away, but the remainder seems to be
solid, whatever is in them. When the
mud in and around the old wreck is
blown away, interesting information is
looked for by the officers and men who
are working like beavers to unravel the
mystery. Careful study estimates that
The big wreck must have lain there at
east LIS years.-B0ston Transcript.

available agent so far. There is serious
ground for question whether farmers as
a whole do not rely far too much upon
this implement in the preparation Of
their land. When a field has been
planted for one season, and the crop
given clean culture so that no weed
growth is left in the fav. it ought to be
put in frst-class condition for sowing,
either then or in the following spring by
the use of one of the modern cultivators
or harrows, constructed with the disc or
cutaway. Old land that is properly
drained ought to work up into perfect
seedbed by such treatment, being stirred
as deeply as it would be by the plow,
and pulverized much more finely. As
matter of fact the plow does not break
and pulverize the soil as much as is de-
sirable, unless a narrow furrow is made.
The tendency of most shares is to throw
the earth bodily from one position to an
other. With one of the harrows men
toned the soil is thoroughly stirred,
pulverized and lightened to as great a
depth as one may desire, and at an
expense for labor that is trifing COM
pared with the operation of blowing.
The natural objection to such course
on the part of many would be that old
land is often more or less covered with
grass and weeds after the crop is re-
moved. There is the rub! Poor farm
ing one season necessitates increased
labor in the following. Not only did
those weeds help to exhaust the land,
rob and crowd the growing crop, but
they also make it necessary to plow the
field for the next crop, so that their tops
and roots may be gotten out of the way.
Clean culture will obviate this difficulty
and pay we'll, not only in the subsequent
care of the land but in the increased
crops that follow.-American Agricul-
turist.

One of the queerest in cidents of the
recent electrical storm is reported from
South Windham, where lightning struck
the barn of Louis ]. Bracket, knocking
out one end and setting it on fire. In
stead Of going to earth the fluid followed
the service pipe supplying the building
with water and entered the main pipe
running to Portland, making a large
hole in it. The heavy pressure sent the
water over the ridge pole of the build
ing, extinguished the fire, and then
plowed up the field and began to under.
mine the building. Luckily the second
main pipe alongside the one injured was
not damaged, and by manipulating few
gates it was changed over to fill the high
service, and few Portland water takers
knew that their supply had beea in
danger.-Leuistoa (As.) Journal.

GARDENERS Purchasing SEEDS.

The fact that market gardeners buy the
seeds they use indicates that this is gen.
orally best for others who grow garden
vegetables. The market gardener sells
the earliest and best-grown fruits, get
ting prices that are above what the seed
would brig. Besides, in the small area
of most market gardens there is not
chance to separate varieties liable to mix,
and seed thus grown would be worse
than useless. Those who make seed
growing business are obliged to own or
rent several places, thus keeping the diff
ferent kinds separate. This is most true
of melons and cucumbers. Some mixing
is always possible, as bees carry pollen
from flower to flower to much greater
distance than the wind is likely to do.
Seeds by the pound are usually sold
cheaper, as we'll as better than any gar
dener could grow the small quantity he
needs. There is advantage in this divls-
ion of labor, the seed grower being equal
ly unable to grow market vegetables for
family use as cheaply as he can buy them.

CHEMICAL HORN KILLERS.

Caustic potash for checking horn
growth On calves seems to be fully as
effectual as any of the fluids put up for
that purpose. The potash may be OBJ
tanned at any drug stree; it comes in
sticks about the size of a lead pencil, and
five cents worth will suffice for fifteen or
twenty calves. The work, to be most
e6ectual and satisfactory, should be done
as soon as the little buttons can be def
nitely located on the calf's head say from
three days to two weeks OF age. Clip
the hair away from the embryo horn with
q pair of scissors, then with the tip of
the finger moisten with water the horn
that is to be operated on first. Care must
be exercised not to let any drops of water
run down the calf's head from the horn,
for if it does, the dissolved potash will
follow the same channel and cause un-
necessary suffering. After moistening
the little horn button, take stick of the
potash and wrap piece of paper around
it., leaving half inch of the lower end
exposed. The purpose of the paper is to
prevent the fingers coming in direct con-
tact with the potash. Hold the stick is
the hand as one would pencil, and rub
it all over and around the base of the
embryo horn; keep the horn moistened
while the potash is beng used. As soon
as the. skin begins to soften up and peel
off the horn, and it commences to look
red, as though the blood was starting
through, it is enough and the other horn
may then be treated in like manner. l
have never, in my experience, found q
second application necessary. Whatever
potash may be left after the work is per-
formed should be corked up air-tight in
a bottle, go that the moisture in the air
will not dissolve it.-Furmers' he0teac.

A UNIQUE Clock.

One Of tho attractions Of the beauh.
full Monte Pincio gardens, at Rome, is a
really unique clock, which is usually an
object of interest to groups OF passersby,
who stop to minutely inspect it. A gen.
eral view and description Of this curious
and artistic piece of mechanism Is given
as follows by the Rorological Rer'e'o:
The very charming case is composed
of three branches in rustic work. It
stands upon a square stone block, sur
rounded on its four sides by beautiful Leaf
plants, ivy and grasses. The stone foot
stands within water basin. The upper
part of the case contains a dial covered
with glass on each of its four sides. Upon
the cupola stands a staff which carries
the two bells for the full hour and quar-
tiers. At its upper end is a small vane
in the shape of battle ak.
The frame fer the wheel and levers OF
the striking work, in which a small cen
trifugal pendulum takes the place of the
fly, is close underneath the dial. at the
back of the clock frame oscilates the
second pendulum, and before this IS To-
Gated mass of rustic work, similar to a
large coral growth, from which issue
small jets of water at regular intervals.
Two Of the uppermost coral branches are
water conduit pipes, from which empties
alternately, at each swing of the pend''-
lum, small. quantity of water into two
leafike spoons underneath, ;mparting tc
them an up and down motion. The Pc
culiar motive power furnished by the
water keeps the clock in motion, by g
very remarkable escapement, so that il
never requires winding. The construc'
ton of the clock is due to monk, as il
the case with so many old pieces Of ar
work.

TIME AND PHOSPHATE ON RYE.

Lime in itself is not direct fertilizer,
and you could never make your land rich
by applying it. On light soils it is Of
ten useful in fastening the decomposi-
ton of vegetable matter already in the
land, and this, when decomposed, be-
comes nutriment for the growing plants.
By applying phosphates you secure what.
ever lime may be required for your crops
and in far better and more available
form than can be obtained in caustic
lime. Use whatever coarse manure you
have and then top dress with phosphates
and in as large amounts as you can af-
ford for a crop of rye.-Ne0 York Sun.

A Biz MIstake.

The moulting process is one that debilt
tates and prevents hens from laying. Many
farmers and poultry-ralsers at this season
kill off their old hens. because they thinb
they have stopped laying and are fat. Thii
is great mistake; the proper material
should be furnished them with their food to
supply the increased demand for nitrogen
and phosphates. Mr.. John R. Jones, Of Suf
field, Conn.,, says: 81 am breeder of Mottled
Javns. I have been using Sheridan's Con-
dition Powder for years. I find it very valu.
able for poultry in the moulting season; it
helps the growth Of feathers. use it also
for show birds" is. johnson G. Co., Boston,

WIFE OF THE POET TENNYsoy.

Frederick Dalman, in the Laaies'
Home Journal, pays gallant tribute to
Lady Tennyson, the wife of the laureate.
She is, he writes, entirely unknown to
English society, excepting the villagers
of Farrlngford and Aldworth. Few
others have so much as seen her face or
shaken her by the hand. On that June
morning in 1850, when she joined her
lot with that of Arthur Tennyson, she
need not have been prophecies, or the
daughter of one, to have foretold her
husbands greatness. No wife could
have carried the doctrine of coverture
further; no wife have contented herself
with complete self-effacenent as regards
the world in which Lord Tenpyson fills
so important a place. Pilgrims, like
Emerson and Hawthorne, to the poets
residence in the fair isle and sunny Sus-
sex have had scarcely anything to say
concerning her. Lady Tennyson has
been content to remain in the back
ground, an admiring auditor of her hus-
lands animated conversation. 1t has
been said that clever men should hct
marry clever women, and if that means
that genius should not be united to
genius, talent to talent, the aphorism IS,
perhaps, perfectly true. But the woman
who mates with man of genius and
finds martial happiness, says Mr.. Dol
man, must have lifted herself somewhat
above the commonplace to become her
husbands sympathizer and con6dante.
In ministering to great poets daily
needs Lady Tennyson has exhibited quail
tiles such as no mere drawilg-room dow
ager or society butterfly could have
shown. She has fed his esthetic feel
ings, studied his sense of the beautiful.
In the large mansion near Freshwater, as
we'll as in the summer house on the hill
overlooking Haslemere, there is that
sweet, calm and harmonious beauty
which pleases the poets temperament
and which only educated taste and deft
workmanship of wife can produce. In
the white stone house, with its ivied
walls and fower-bedecked terraces,
equally with the little Gothic structure
that Mr.. Knowles, the editor of the
Nineteenth Century, designed, the traces
of Lady Tennyson's care are visible in
drawlng-room and library, in smoking
room and study. Every meerschaum
pipe, every oaken stick of the masters is
religiously guarded from sacrilegious
hands. With this selfsame spirit of de-
votion she has inspired all her children.
So far as the most intimate friends con
say there has never been the slightest
rift in the Tennyson household during
its forty years of union.

GEESE.


In selecting geese, choose from the
Toulouse, Bremen OF Chinese varieties.
The Toulouse and Chinese are gray, the
Bremen white. They require only no3-
crate feeding. We prefer allowing the
geese to incubate their own eggs. When
the goslings are hatched retain them until
about week old. Feed them little
bread or meal, but they will live chiefly
on grass and water. The water should
be placed in a shallow dish, sunk into
the earth until the topis level with the
ground. The dish requires to be shallow.
We had q friend who lost five young
goslings by having a bucket sunk as
above. The old birds splashed about
half of the water out, and the young birds
going in were drowned. When a week
old allow them to 60 until fall, when
they should be fattened the same as tur-
keys. When picking goose submerge
the bird in water almost boiling. hot, then
then wrap in q coarse linen and place
near the fire to dry. This is much bet
ter, easier and quicker than removing
the feathers by the old method. Bring
your goose in nice condition to mar
ket.-Farmer's A9oocate.

UNPRoFITABLE FLOWING.

There arc two reasons for plowing-
the need of buryiug surface growth OF
sod under the soil, where it will decay
and add its elements to the general stock
of food plant. and the need of tighten
ing the soil so that the air and sunlight
can permeate it and make available the
plant food already there. The mechani-
cal moving of the soil is designed to ac-
complish these results and secure a
proper seedbed for the crops to be
raised. But plowing at its best is slow,
laborious and expensive. In the inver-
zion of the sod the plowshare is the only
