A WIM Woman of tlie Woods,
For months past there have been
rumors of a terrible apparition which
has 1 lightened all tue women and Chil
dren in Clear Creek townsuip, North
Carolina. The women say that lor two
weens they have been suoject to tern
fyiiig visns, m the absence ot tueir hus
bands, lrom a creature like a sniny
black ncgress, with long hair and gleam
ing eyes. She asks IU hardly distin
guishable gibberish for a baby to eat
and makes efforts to get hold of the
children. The meu, getting tired of the
fears of their wives, determined to try
to catch the creature, and lor the last
week crowds ot farineis have beeu
daily and nightly chasing her, without
success. The hrst eilort to catch her
was made a week ago by John lioberts,
a blacksmith. The whd creatine Lad
appeared several times at a tire, which
it was the habit of Corey Moore, colored,
of the neighborhood, to light alter
dark in the yard ot his house lor the
preparation 01 his meals, lioberts was
put there to watch tor her and she
appeared even belore the tianies were
wen kindied. She presented such a
wild look m the half light and asked for
food in such a wild taslnon that iiooerts
was demoralized. He recovered, how
ever, made* an outcry aud attempted to
seize the woman, but she slipped
through his hands aud disappeared iu
the dark shadows of the wood. Tues
day morning Mauuar Steven Caw ell
caught sight ol the creature and chased
her across an open held. He was
badly hurt in his efforts to keep up
with her and reported that she outrun
a buck and cleared four corn rows at a
leap. That same uight she was again
enticed fiom the gloom of the woous by
the kindling of a lire aud was chased
by thirty men, without success. Cap
tain Marsh Aden later iu the day met
her iu the neighborhood, witn her face
torn aud bleeding and a long, bloody
knife m her hand. The creature was
naked and so unearthly and terrible
looking to htm that he says he is not
sure it is a humau being. Her hair
reached almost to her leet, but was
kinky, like that of the African. It is
uot mere flight which has caused the
country people to organize iu their
attempts to catch the creature, wlnon
has been lying in the lorest and swamps
tor a year or more. Some mouths ago,
it is reported, an lidant was spirited
away trom its parent's yard wliue they
were in the cornheid and Was never
heard from, and the disappearance wits
from that section ot the country in which
the wild woman had oeen seen, and
mothers, white and black, are in terror
for fear their little ones may also be
come food lor the cannibal ncgress.
Yesteruay the farmers, some mounted
and otheis on toot, assembled lor tlie
purpose of surrounding a swamp in
winch the creature is known to be nid.
There were lour huuured men banded
together lor the chase. At lirst it was
attempted to run her down with blood
hounds, but they reiused to chase her,
which deepened the superstitious leeiing
with whicn the men as well as the
women ot the community began to re
gard her. The men men made the
attempt to catch her, but without suc
cess. The excitement among the
negroes aud simple country loiks is
intense. By the more intelligent fai
mers lrom that stction the uieory is
advanced that the creature is some
half-witted woman, who has been so
long hunted dowu that she lives in
terror ol all human beings and there -
lore hvts like an animal in torests, her
necessities having lorced her to eat
anyming she can get, including eyen
human flesh.
Mr. Unckltuid on Animals.
Otteis were favorite animals with Mr.
Buckiaiid. A curious difference is
boted between the gullet of tlie otter
and that of tne seal. That of the otter
is the size of a half-inch glass-pipe,
hardly big enough to admit one's iiule
finger. That of the seal is a large bag,
down which the food is slipped in a
minute. The reason of this is explained
by the fact that the otter is provided
with teeth for the mastitication of his
food, whereas the seal bolts his prey,
From otters, we pass to whales. Little
is said a bout these animals that is not
aiready known, but Mr, Buckland
claims an original discovery on benah
of Captain Gray, of the steamship
Eclipse, of Pcter&head, with regard to
the mode in which the whale packs
away his plates of whalebone when his
mcuth is shut. Captain Gray's account
of the matter is that wnen the whale
closes his lower jaw, he first gently
pushes backward and upwards the
palate the interior plates of baleen.
The posterior plates go back under
pressure in succession, till &xl the plates
of baleen lie back in the mouth, packed
beautifully in regular order, one over
the other, above the angle of the eye.
It is curious to remember that the
whale, tnough in shape and habits a
fish, is really a mammal. As such it
produces milk, winch is described as
being as rich as cow's milk to which
cream has been added. We should
like to suggest to the manufacturers
of "oleomargarine" and "butterme,"
which is, we believe, made of the fat of
animals, whether a whale dairy might
not be practicable and inexpensive.
The whales would feed themselves, and
might be milked by divers.
Gypsies.
Bands of gypsies wander about in
large numbers in some parts of Ger
many, and occasionally, emboldened
by their numtrical strength, and ren
dered reckless by their necessities, they
do not hesitate 10 make serious inroads
upon the farms that they come across.
Lately a band counting over two hun
dred encamped near a small village • in
the Hessiau terrntory, and turned
their norses loose to graze at will over
ihe meadows and farming lands of the
neighborhood. The exasperated far
mers and peasants thereupon armed
themselves with pitchforks and other
weapons, and attacked the intruders.
A pitched battle followed, and it was
not without a severe struggle that the
native population remained masters of
the lieid. The interference of the
Government will probably be required
to put an end to the growing evil.
According to the (Jhemiker Zeitung
there were IU Italy a short time ago no
less than 250 powder mills, but there ara
not 100 now running. It is only a tew oj
the larger establishments that manage to
make the ends meet with any degree of
comfort, notwithstanding an import duty
of S3O upon every 220 pounds of gunpow
der. The Italian manufacturers take ad
vantage of the "protectionl' the Govern
ment affords them to place a very dear and
a very bad article on the market. About
the end of 1870 there were four dynamite
factor.eß in the kingdom; now only the one
at Axigliano is in opeiation.
AGRICULTURE,
DUCKS. Light-colored ducksare always
of milder flavor than their darker brethren
and those which are reared exclusively on
a vegetable diet will have whiter and more
delicate flesh than those allowed to feast
on animal offal. The flesh of birds fatten
ed on animal tood will be firmer than the
other, and have a gamy flavor. The an
cient notion that ducks whose beaks have
a tendency to curve upward are better lay
ers than another sort is simply absurd—all
ducks are good layers if they are carefully
fed and tended. Ducks generally lay in
the night or early iu the moruiag. While
she is in perfect health she will do this;
aud one of the surest signs of indisposition
among birds of this class Is irregularity in
laying. The eggs laid will iuvariably icar
ly approach the color of the layer—light
colored ducks laying white eggs,and brown
ducks greeuish-blue egg. Dark-colored
ducks lay the largest eggs One time ot
day the notion was prevalent that a duck
would hatch uo other eggs thau her own;
this is not true; nevertheless it will be as
well to match the duck's own eggs as near
ly as possible, for I have known instances
where the duck has turued out of uest and
destroyed eggs differing from her own in
size aud color. The simple way to fatten
ducks is to let them have as much sub
stantial tood as they will eat. They will
require no cramming, as does the turkey
aud some other poultry—they will cram
themselves to the verge of suffocation;
they should, at the same tune, be allowed
plenty of exercise and clean water. Bruis
ed oats aud pea-meal is the standard fat
tening fcod fordu.'ks.

MAKING COMPOST. —The usual propor
tions tor a compost of manure, muck, lime,
aud ashes are 10 of muck, spread
evenly for a bottom, in a pile about 10
feet wide aud 40 feet long. Tnen three
or four bushels of flue air-slaked lime aud
as much ashes mixed as much as possible
with the muck by leaviug the muck rough
ly spread, then a load of manure; then 10
loads of muck and lime and ashes as be
tore, and so on until the heap is five feet
high. This will give about 80 to 100 loads,
which is enough for one heap. It will
soou heat, but uot enough to hurt, as the
muck will require a good deal of heat to
rot it. But if it is turned over and well
mixed once in the winter it will be In flue
condition by the spring, and will make a
rich top dressing for fall grain or grass.
THE BEST FARM HOUSES.—I ears ago,
when a faster horse than then existed was
desirable, there was reason in the attempts
to improve the speed of the animal, but
there is hardly a doubt that the good of the
farmer has been Dearly lost sight cf in the
desire to get horses of great speed. The
best farm horse is the strong horse, and
one that can step out lively, and has en
durance to get through a day's work with
out great fatigue. The business of raising
last horses Is altogether distinct from the
business of the farmer, it is a source of
excitemeut to tee a horse race but when a
farmer thinks the horse he sees racing is
one he ought, to have on his farm he makes
a mistake. The heavy Norman horse
would be more profitable than the one
which is simply a trotter.
PA STUBING wheat land is not common;
but Mr. John Kosser.iu the Rural Worid
says that as soon as his wheat is an inch
high he turns in his sheep, changing them
every two weeks, and keeps them there all
winter. They cooie off in the spring quite
fat. He pastures 375 head on fifty-five
acres, and they cannot feed it down. He
believes that the treading of the wheat is a
benefit, to say nothing of the evenlv-spread
droppings. The yield is from 25 to 40
bushels of wheat per acre. He claims that
the first growth of wheat dies off anyhow,
and the sheep do not rob the plants. Not
only does he obtain a good crop of wheat,
hut the profits from the sheep are no small
while the land is benefitted instead
of injured.
BITING wheat bran and cot ton-seed meal
for feeding milch cows, in connection with
fodder grown on the farm, is oue method
of buying fertilizers for the soil. When
large quantities of either of these grains
are purchased, fed judiciously and the ma
nure saved, a farm should not grow poor
er, even though the milk be sold for cheese
making,
BREEDKK3 have noticed that a remarka
ble development of tne tendency to lay on
fat is usually accompanied by a delicacy
of constitution, a diminished secretion of
milk, aud a loss of fecundity. Very fat
animals are not likely to be good breeders;
in fact, the excessive production of fat is
incompatible with a high development of
the reproductive powers.
A PULLET owned in Middlebury, Vt.,
has distinguished herself by building a
nest in a poplar tree, fifteen feet from the
ground, where she flies every day and
lays an egg. And the owner distinguishes
himself every day by taking ten cents'
worth of time and a heap vexation to
climb up the tree and get the egg, which
is worth about two cents.
IT bas been well demonstrated that '.N
case of all live stock a clean aDd open con
dition of the skin is conducive to health
and economical feeding, and no labor in
the barns is more profitably expended than
that which is employed ID a thorough
cleaning, not only of the horses, but also
of the cattle.
As regards the exports of hops, in 1878,
we marketed 78 949 bales abroad; in 1869,
69,563 bales. In 1881 our exports were
but 30,015 bales, the lowest aggregate for
seven years. In 1874 we exported but
1638 bales; In 1873, 9315, and m 1872,
6095 bales. From 1875 to 1882 our exports
averaged nearly 45,000 bales per annum.
TnE annual wheat crop of Minnesota is
glorified in the four quarters of the globe,
while the hay crop stays quietly at home
and is seldom ever thought of by the out
side world. Yet its value this year is
reckoned at nearly $20,000,000. The crop
is estimated at 1,500,000 tor.s of wild hay
and 200,000 of cultivated.
THERE IS no surer way to destroy the
borers than to dig for them with a poiHttd
knife and kill them when found. If they
are high up they may be crushed with a
wire pushed up into the boles. Coal ashes
spread around the trees are beneficial. The
wounded parts may be covered with a
mixture of fresh cow duDg and clay.
THERE is no gain in plowing up sod land
in the fall. The most approved practice
in the culture of Indian corn, which re
quires a greater degree of heat than other
ciops, is to plow in the spring, turning the
sod under of sufficient depth to allow just
enough soil for properly covering the seed.
WHERE one wishes to keep a Jarge num

HUMOROUS.
THERE is a church iu Michigan which
has been struck by lightning a dozen
times, and now whenever the preacher
shows signs of getting long-wiiuled anil
passing from his "seventhly" to an
"eighthly," the organist slyly imitates
the sound of approaching thunder on
the pedals. The way that preacher
dives into the "conclusion," and rushes
through it and starts the doxology is a
caution. The congregation would not
part with that organist for 51.000,000.

house for a week's journey, after tak
ing leave of bis landlady, stepped up to
a salt mackerel on the table, shook him
by the tail, and said: "Good-by, old
fellow, I will see you when I return."
If bilious, or s utter tug iroin impunty of

A WIFE, having lost her husband, was
inconsolable for his death. "Leave me
to my grief," she cried, sobbing; "you
know the extreme sensibility of my
nerves; a mere nothing upsets them."
*„*"Evil dispositions are early shown."
Eva tendencies in our systems are to be
watched and guarded against. If you find
yourself getting bilious, head heavy, mouth
foul, eyes yellow, kidueys disordered,
symptoms ol piles tormenting you, take at
once a few doses of Kidney-Wort. It is
nature's great assistant. Use it as an ad
vance-guard—don't wait to get down sick.

BARLEY is one of the best grains for a
soiling crop It grows more vigorously at
the start than oats aud has a peculiar rich,
sweet flavor which all animals relish. It
should be cut, however, before getting into
head.
Old meadows should have a sprinkling
of tine manure early m the Autumn to
give the grass a good start again before
Winter. We do not believe in pasturing
meadows much, if any, after the hay crop
has been removed.
Papered veneers have come to be an
important article of manufacture, the ex
tension of the industry being largely due to
the new and wonderful processes of cut
ting. The mechanism, cuts the logs to
lengths or twelve feet, which are then
halved or quartered, and bolted securely
on a revolving iron table. As the table
and wood revolve, the surface of the later
comes in contact with a knife 12 feet long,
ground to a razor edge and perfectly true,
secured to a rigid iron frame—the entire
cutting apparatus weighing about SO tons.
The veneers roll off in sheets at every re
volution, of from one-nineteenth to one
hundred and seventy-fifth of an inch in
thickness, and of the slightest vibration of
either the knife or log,as the sheet of wood
in such cases would be either broken or
take up the spring like a wedge.The sheets
are backed with paper.
Among the most remarkable natural
echoes is that of Eagle's nest, on the banks
or Killarney, in Ireland, which repeats a
bugle call until it seems to be souDded
from a hundred instruments; and that on
the banks of Naha, between Bingen and
Coblentz, which repeats a sound seventeen
tunes. The most remarkable artificial
echo known is that in the Castle of Bimon
etta, abovt twj miles from Milan. It is
occasioned by the existence ot two parallel
wails of considerable length. It repeats
the report of a pistol sixty times.
