A Curious Collection.

A weil-known Leeds banker possesses
an immense number of different bank
notes issued at various times by banks
that have come to grieyous smash and
which have involved thousands of per-
sons in their ruin. Not alone are bank
notes included in this curious collection
of relics OF broken banks, which nust
start world of painfal reflections in
commercial community-but also bonds
relating to celebrated undertakings
which have proved sources Of immense
loss to SPECTATORS, these including
scrip of the South Sea bubbles, of
many of the schemes of Hudson, the
railway king. and of the frichborne
bond enterprise. So far as the bank
notes are concerned, it is astonishing
to see what a large number of estab-
lishments they refer to; and the whole
collection represents the names of
schemes which have, drained the In
vesting public of hundreds OF MILLIONS
sterling. The collector relates that on
several occasions visitors who have
seen the collection have, on coming to
some particular note, burst into tears,
for they have been directly connected
with the ruin wrought by the crash
indicated by that same note, ,-Cornhill

"sPoKEN" AT SEA.

How News L. Exchanged Between Ships
En- Route.
Many-of the newspa pers Published in
our seaports give a column to shipping
news. One of the most frequent an
ship named was spoken" on a given
day, in certain latitude and longitude.
The meaning of the term cannot be
mistaken, bat how communication was
held may not be so easily understood
OF course the EXPIRE ssion, spoken at
sea" came into use when it was the
custom for two vessels whose courses
came near crossing to hail each other
through the captains, using the speak
ing trumpet. by this means news
was received and sent. But this occa-
stoned loss of time, if it did not neces :
state a change of course. In later
usage the spy glass has taken the
place OF the speaking trumpet, except.
in cases where the<vessels are coming
near together in their regular courses.
Communication is now made byssig
mailing, and the code is very simple.
Every merchant We ssel IN foreign trade
has a registered number by which it
can be identified in any plrt of the
world. Two vessels exchange numbers
by signal. anl that one which first ar
rives at any. port connected with the
rest of the globe by cable reports hav-
ing spoken the. other in such AMI
such latitu lie and longitude, ''all we'll
The report is'ml1a public through the

correct form OF statement at the pres
ent day would b.. in majority of in
stances, seen" rathsr than spoken
but nautical terms are not easily
changed.-Youth's Companion.

-Oleo made from the fat of horses

cents per pound less than that made
from the fat of swine and kline, and it
makes more deceptive substitute for

"A stone of about one hundred

Kicking the stone answers the purpose,
and does no harm.
The average weight of hogs re-

Killing Weeyila.

A correspondent requests the pub
lication of the most approved method
of killing weevils and other insects in
grain: As this is the season for crib
bing corn. and as much of it has weevils
already, this publication is timely.
Carbon bi-sulphide is the simplest.
cheapest and most efficient remedy in
such cases yet discovered. 1t is color
less liquid with very offensive odor,
which, however. passes off completely
in a short time. 1t readily volatilizes,
and the vapor, which is very deadly to
insect life, is heavier than air and settles
and fills any compartment or bin in the
top of which the liquid is placed. 1t
may be distributed in saturated rags on
the top of grains in bins. and the gas
will settle throughout the mass. In
large bins, to hasten and equalize the
operation, put aquantity of the bi-sul-
phide in the center of the grain by
thrusting in balls CT cotton or rags
tied to stick and saturated with the
liquid. or by means of a gas pipe loose
ly plugged at one end, down which the
liquid may be poured and the plug
then loosened with rod. In moder-
ately tight bins no further precaution
than to close them well need be taken,
but in open bins it will be necessary
to cover the top with a blanket to pre-
ven. the too rapid dissipation of the
vapor. Farm and Ranch.

If it were not for the difficulty of
,aving the seeds of vetch, it would be
one of the most popular of southern
forage plants. es-a ssf-e
1t belongs to the legumes, and the
little pods that bsar the seed pop open
as soon as they get little dry, and
scatter the seed over the ground. On
account of the care involved in saving.
seed, there is comparatively little seed
saved, and the price is such as to deter
most farmers from sowing it.
Ifa crop of vetch is allowed to seed
even once on piece of land, crop can
be made FOR number of years in the
same manner that q crop of burr clover
is renewed.
Vetch and burr clover are much alike

thriving in the winter, yielding fine
pastures or good moving in the early
spring, making seed aud dying down

Alongin September or October, some
times as early as August, the seed

where the land is rich good pasture

Stock should not be turned on to it
until it gets well established. and if
the full benefit would be derived from
il, never let stock run ON il when
the ground is wet. Such practice
will soon spoil a good pasture. The
reckless pasturing of soils through all
kinds of weather has much to do with
impoverishing them. Such a practice
should be followed no longer. Que.
should be particularly careful in the
treatment of a winter pasture. The
southern stock-grower and dairyman

Grass Hogs.

About this time in the year we SET
quotations in the market reports Of
grass hogs" and it will be noticed
that the prices quoted for these are al
most al Ways lower than those for regu-
lar fed stock. This is because the flesh
of hogs fattened out on grass or slop is
not as firm as that of granted animals,
and is not as valuable in the eyes of
packers or users. 1t does not pay to
send such stock to market one time in
ten, and this year, when the wheat
crop is large and the price is low, it is
an absolute waste of good material to
sell CRASHED hogs. A hog that is well
fed and in good condition from grass
feeding may be made to put on weight
very rapidly if fed cracked wheat with
little corn, and at present prices OF
hogs there is no way in which greater
price can be realized for wheat than to
feed it to them. A well-finished lot OF
hogs which has been fed out on wheat
and corn will make the best of pork,
and in market will bring the top prices.
