The Rnciont F.frvplinns celebrated a funeral hy fenstiiifr' and drinking while fho work of embalming which took seventy days wnspoing on ;lmt through out nil they remembered that no one is exempt from death, and to remind them of the fact a skeleton wn placed in the banqueting hall, where it remained dur ing the feast. Sar-rilices were offered t the gods, and the llcsh used for food among the priests and guests. In the ease of n great lord or rich person n costly monument was erected, but the poorer clas-es were laid in the ground sometimes with no embalming, and nt t:nr 1 fui"-.' i v.. - x n . tio"..iiiCs even VmXVn ii c'ot7."U".,':J, ;i. The Hindoos burned their dead and sometimes s.ierifircd human beings at the funeral of any personnel? of note. '1 he Mittoo, or widow burning, among great per-onages was a very repulsive feature of the ceremony. The ceremonies were conducted nmid feasting, singing by der vislies and dam-in-: by girls. Sometimes the mourners lashed themselves with knotted cords and sticks until they fell exhaustel from exertion and loss of blood. There are in Africa almost as many different burial customs as there art tribes of negroes, each tril o having its own peculiar ideas aud manners. The ma'ority of tribes, however, bury the dead and destroy all property belonging to the deceased, even taking down the house. If it be a chief of high rank, the more baibarous tribes kill numbers of slaves to serve him in the next world, and bury his favorite wife alive in the same grave with her deceased lord. The natives of Peru placed their dead in a sitting posture with the hind be tween tlis knees and the arms crossed on the breast. Kopes of bark were tighny bound around the bouy, which was then wrapped in cloth nnd again bound until it resembled a mass of cordage rather I than anything else. Hodies thus pre served, nnd from which the air was en entirely excluded, are constantly bcii.g found nmong the ruins of the old cities devastated by the Spaniards. The an cient Mexicans observed much the same custom, adding to it the sacrifice of hundreds of human beings, in many cases the victims freely giving their consent to die, believing that by this means they more surely reached the abode of their gods and enjoyed everlasting peace. Among our Indians the burial customs diller somewhat, but all believe in a Great Spirit, and in the mniu they are alike. The Indians of the eastern pnrt of the country east of the .Mississippi buried their dead in almost all cases in as.tting posture, wrapped in a blanket. With the dead warrior were buried his arms, ammunition and food for his journey to the Happy Hunting Grounds, and over his grave his favorite warhorsa was slaughtered, and sometimes his dog, in order that he might enter the land of the Grent Spirit in a manner becoming a chief of renown and of good repute. The Indians of the West erect high scaf Mds, on which they place their dead, in order that they may be out of reach of wild animals. The dead brave's arms, cooking utensils nnd blanket are placed with him for use in the next world. The Hebrew manner of conducting a funeral is very plain and simple. The body is wrapped in a shroud and placed in a plain pine cotlin, with alighted candle at its head. '1 he candle is al lowed to b'irn itself out and symbolizes the dedication of the soul of the dead to the Creator, who gave it. A simple ceremony is held at the grave by the rabbi, and it is a very rare occurrence for any portion of the service over the dead to take place under a roof. A most curious sight to the residents of Kew York is a Chinese funeral, which is much the same when held here as when the Chinaman is at home in the Flowery Kingdom. It makes all the dif ference in the world whether the dead Chinaman is a member of the Order Freemason or not, and whether or not he is rich. If he is a .Mason his funeral is the occasion of a grent spread ind dis ' play in Chinatown. A brass band is hired to play in front of the rl-jad man's ;esiaence anaalsqaccou)anies the body to TTil;'i are. It would seem that noise, and not the appropriateness of the tune, is the object in view, for the friends of the dead man are perfectly satisfied, no matter whether the tune be some Ger man waltz or the " Houlanger Jlarch," and it is a fact that at a recent I hinese funeral in this city lhe band hiied for the occasion played "Sunday Sii-jbt When the Parlor is Full." ( u the way to the grave a prominent Chinaman sits on the hearso aud (.caters pieces of col ored paper ulong the route, the object of this beinar to occupy the attention of the evil sp r ts. wh ch are suppo ed to follow the departed Chinaman until the grave closes over him. In the cotlin with the body is placed a pack of Chinese play ing cards in order that the spirit of the dt-ad man may have an opportunity of making a little change during his long and dark journey. At the grave food is placed arouud thecortin, but after the ten-moiiy is con cluded th'S is taken to the lodge rooms, and the friends eat for themselves aud the dead also. No ( hiniunnn is ever buried in this country whose body is not foine time, usually after a lapse of two or three years, taken up and carried home to China by his friends. This is a sacred custom among all Chinese, and the body of a Chinaman who has been dead three or four years is no uncommon freight on the steamers plying between San Francisco and China.

Warm water for cows to drink in win ter is beginning to be understood as one of the essentials in successful winter dairying. Even drinking ice cold water in winter so chills the cow's system and lowers its temperature ns to cause a marked diminution in the flow of milk. Exposure to a piercing 'cold draft of air on leaving the stable nnd going but a short dif tance to drink, plainly shows in the shrinkage of the mess of milk. Hence it pays to not only warm the water for the cows to drink, but to give it to them in the stable, or under shelter, in severe winter weather. These things, which have a solid foundation in com mon sense, have not been thought of or discussed, much less practiced, until within a few years past. Hut they are destined to become of universal accep tance and no intellicent dairvniau will think of dispensing with anything that -i s- X nr'.e-ni ilTJ ' :ne no u in ioi- auuj to toe cows Farmer. comfort. f, airie Mixing Feed for Stock. It is well known that a vaiioty of food for stock is better tbn any one kind, partly for the reasor t noone food contains the full elenv ' nutri tion in their right propo. But with ruminants, giving va. v is not enouh. They will do better if "the dif ferent kinds are mixed before feeding, that they mav all come up and be remas ticated. Neither the full benefit of hay or grain is secured by feeding separately. It is commonly supposed that the loss is chiefly in the grain, which is too hastily and greedily swallowed to be thoroughly digested. Rut there is also a loss ni the less palatable forage, which, being eaten with liitle relish, does not ttake with it enough saliva to make sure" of its thor ough digestion. Whatever is eaten with gocd appetite does the most good, though this rule is scarcely of any prac tical importance to any except human beings. Dumb animals never eat unless they are hungry, and their hunger is for what has most nutrition instead of dainties to tempt the palate. Badger Farmer. Csea and. Value of Clover. All agricultural plants draw most of their food directly or indirectly lrom the atmosphere, and of those used none are exceeded by clover in the largo pro portion of nutriment thus derived. If the stubble and roots contain more than half of the inanurial value of red clover, and if live stock only appropriate from fiveto ten per cent of the nitrogen, and the other ninety to ninety-tive per cent, goes buck to the field or dung heap, it certainly must be the best practice, as a rule, to feed red clover instead of plow ing it all under. Owing to the great depth to which the clover roots penetrate the soil, frequently six feet or more, they help to briug up a run-down farm. They bring the valuable ingredients from a great depth, and store a largo part of them in the large roots near the surface, where they are available for future plant growth. Hed clover is valuable to enrich the land, and hence to enrich the owner. 'It is not excelled by any forage crop as a whole some summer pasture for swine. FVr soiling, a good growth of red clover is very valuable, and it has often been packed into the silo to feed ensilage in the winter. Profefsor W. J. Beal. in his useful work on the "Grasses of North America," says thnt he knows of no more concise ' and valuable summary of the uses and ' value of clover than the one of the late ' Dr. Yoelcker: I 1. "A eood croo of clover removes I from the soil more potash, phosphoric acm, jnne ana oiner mineral mutters, which enter into the composition of the ashes of our cultivated crops, than any other crop grown in this country. S. " There is fully three times' as much nitroeen in a crop of clover as in the average produce of the grain and straw i of wheat per acre. 8. " Notwithstanding the large amount of nitrogenous matter of ash constituents of plants in the produce of an acre, clover is an excellent preparatory crop for wheat. 4. " During the growth of clover a large amount of nitrogenous matter ac cumulates in the soil. 2. "This accumulation, which is greatest in the surface soil, is due to de caying leaves dropped during the growth of clover, and to an abundance of roots containing, when dry, from 1J to two per cent, of nitrogen. 0. " The clover roots are stronger aud ! more numerous, and more leaves fall on the ground when clover is grown from seed than when it is mown forhav. in I consequence more nitiogen is left after clover seed than after hav. which ac counts for wheat yielding a better crop after clover than after hay. 7. "The development of roots being checked when the produce, in a green condition, is fed off by sheep, in all probability leaves still less nitrogenous matter in the soil than when clover is al lowed to get riper and is mown for hay; thus, no doubt, accounting for the obser vation made by pastoral meu that, not withstanding the return of the produce in the sheep excrements, wheat is gen erally stronger and yields better after clover mown for hay than when the clover is fed off green by sheep. 8. "The nitrogenous matter in clover remains, on their gradual d the IIV are nnuily transformed into nitrates. thus affording a oontinuous source of food, on which cereal crops especially delight to grow. U. "'I here is strong presumptive evi dence that the nitrogen which exists in the shape of ammonia and nitric acid, and descends with these combinations in the rain whivh falls on the ground, satis- nes, under ordinary circumstances, the requirements of the clover crop. This croo causes a large accumulation of ilr.nrniinn. maum ... .1 . . 1 1 ......-.. ...... iw, -..nil o.o H.nuu.uj changed in the soil into nitrates, lhe atmosphere thus uirnishes nitrogenous food to the succeeding wheat indirectly, and, so to say, gratis. Id. "Clover not only provides abun dance of nitrogenous food, but delivers this food in a really available power ias nitrates) more gradually and continually, and with more certainty of a good re sult, than such food can be applied to thu land in the shape of nitrogenous apring top-dressing. " Cultitator. Farm and Garden Note. The pig likes a clean pen. A good mound of earth protects young trees from mice. Ileus must be warmly housed if eggs are to be secured. The sashes of cold frames should be lifted ou mild days. I'otatoes in pits need plenty of litter or coar-e manure to keep out frost. Keep the best fodder back and feed it out to stock toward the end of the season. Clean and house for the winter all toots that will not be used again till nest season. If you want to Mil bunfocka cut them off closely aud pour i etrolcum ou the J short stumps. In no business is attention to very slight details more requisite than in poultry raising. Swill for hogs should be fed while fresh, and not allowed to stand until sour and disgusting. From this time forward grass is worth more to the pnsture for winter protection than to the farm animals for food. The crcat secret of successful farming is to keep the soil increasing in fertility by the abundant application of manure. Spnrc-ribs to be used while fresh, may be hung up where they will freeze, and will not spoil so long as they remain froen. Onions are said to be valuable, as a gape remedy for chickens. They should be chopped up and mixed with the food in winter. The manure-heap should bo packed tight enough to avoid the escape of ammonia, and loose enough to avoid irire-iaorinT Tu.tt .'-..tuud Tonc'. H'r- .. no Combining sheep husbandry with gmin growii g pieces out an uncomfort able gap in the finances, in the opinion of liural llimt. Most of the apples now upon the gen eral market are supplied from the State of New York. Systematic orcharding is a good business. The dairy requires careful manage ment to bo profitable in winter. Good cows, good food, good care and modern appliances make it pay. The American Cultivator calls atten tion to the great amount of waste there is in feeding grain unground to any stock except sheep and poultry. According to a Southern correspond ent of the American Ayricvltnrit a crop of cow peas is one of the surest ways of restoring vegetable matter to a worn-out soil. l The most critical period in the life of a calf is the first winter, but it will bring no serious risk if the animal has abund ant food of good quality and good, com fot table quarters, with freedom from parasitic insects. A poultryman claims that milk will give far larger and quicker returns if fed to fowls than if given to pigs. Milk, he says, resembles in composition the egg far more than almost any food it is possible to obtain. If land is plowed in the fall for corn in no way can manure be more advantage ously applied, according to one author ity, than by hauling it out in the winter and scattering it over the plowed ground direct from the wagon. Loss sometimes occursfrom not salting pork promptly after it is cut up. If it freezes it cannot be well salted until thotoughly thawed out, and the expan sion and contraction caused by nlternato freezing and thawing does no good. Major Alvord says that in nearly nil cases objectionable odors and flavors do not exist in milk as drawn from the cow, but are absorbed from the air, the ex terior of the cow or the clothing and person of the milker, or while the milk stands in the stable. The consumption of mutton is increas ing in this country, especially in our largo cities, and it has become profitable to supply this demand. It is profitable, first, because the price is remunerative, and secondly, because it is promotive of good husbandry, the improvement of the soil Beans are rood food for cowa.

There are no secrets in sheep raising. It has to be done by feeding. The sheep have to eat something, and that some thing has to be sweet feed, grass, grain, vegetables, fruit, or anything that is wholesome and nutritious, but must be abundant nnd unfailing. Weeds, brush and briars will keep sheep alive, but don't ask sheep to grow mutton on such pastures ; no, nor wool. . A writer in the Brted rJ Oatette sunn up the general purpose cow question in this way: Any farmer who expects to raise a calf and grow a steer needs a cow which will bri g him a largo, growthy calf; and any fanner who expecte to make money raisingii calf or growing a steer must get the calf from a cow which will pay nt the pail the expenses of her keep aud cure, in order that the calf may cost the least money. . No dairyman but knows that if his cows are exposed to inclement storms or compelled to submit to privations in the matter of food they will immediately register the etfect in a diminished How of milk. Because these elects are seen at once and produce an immo liate reduc tion in income, they are understood and to some extent guarded against by every, body. Other cattle, while kept for dif ferent nurnoaes for stock nur noses or I for breeding feel the same detirivations ! anf' to t',e same degree as cows kept for , milk, although they cannot express it so piaiuiy nun so promptly. The Oyster and the Haecoon. Mr. Frank G. Wheaton, of New York, tcliing of how the raccoons catch oysters at Cut Island, near New Orleans, savs that one night he saw an old coon crawl up to a big o ster that had his shell open aud stick his paw in to scoop out the meat. With a snap the shell came to gether, and the coon was caught. He snuealed and tmrired to ir,.r the nviip . . . V . . .J out oi tne mua or his paw from the ovs. iter's clutch, but to no purpose.

Fully one thousand bodies are utilised each year for dissecting purposes in New York City alone, says a correspondent. Each medical college is entitled to a certain number by law, in proportion to the number of students it represents. The College of Physicians and Surgeons, which is the medical department of Columbia College, has over seven hundred students. This representing the largest number of medical students in ony one Institution, tho college has the claim on the greatest number of "cadavers." Two hundred and sixty are required each college session. The I'niversity of the City of New York, which has six hundred students, requires about '210; Bdlevue Hospital Medical College requires two hundred, and the reinnining three hundred are divided among the minor institutions. Besides the number of bodies, or, to use the medical term, "cadavers," which serve for anatomical study, at least one hundred more are used to illustrate lectures upon operative surgery. The object of this is to teach stnde-ts to operate upon dead subjects before ex perimenting upo i the living. All these bodies are unclaimed dead, which aro kept, in accordance with tho law, for three days for identilit ation before being disposed of. However revolting the idea of dissecting may be, it isabsolutely essential to the study of medical scier e. Forgot She Had Grown. Tatty made a long visit nt auntie's house one summer.
