I A STEAM MAN. HOW A MECHANICAL. "-TRAMP" WAS I MADE TO WALK FOll THE AMUSE- I MEXT OF THE PUBLIC, AND WAS FINALLY BROKEN , tP FOR JI NK IKON. Iln the sidewalk in front of an iron i ami machine shj in Centie street may le seen an iron irnaore of a man that is, so far as the trunK goesto make up the imaire. the lesrsanel arms beinp; missing. Thiseuriousiisureattractstlie attention ; of passers-by, many of whom suppose , that it was once used to ornament a sea- j peiing vessel or as a statue in some city : or country elooryard. The fact is the ' image is what remains of the famous steam man, that attracted so much at tention from the public about twelve , years ago. The steam man was the in- : Ventionof a Staten Island genius named 1 Adolpli Uyrne. wlio worked a long time to perfect his singular machine. When j completed, the concern was sold to a stock company, who made a moderate fortune by exhibiting it in New York, and other cities throughout the United ! States. The newspapers teemed with j accounts of the wonderful performances j of t lie steam man. On one occasion, j when tlie invention was being experi- merited with at stapleton, S. I., a report : was spread that the steam man had es- caped from the keeper .and was running j at full speed through the streets of the ! village. People became alarmed for the safety of their childien, and the lit tle ones were hurried out of harm's way ; and kept indoors. The peace of miial ; of many a poor mother was destroyed by the terrible apprehension lest her child- , ren be crushed under the iron wheel of , the monster. The fact was the so-called : monster had not escaped at all, but w;is a prisoner in the building that had been 1 leased for the exhibition. The steam man was on exhibition in ; a vacant store on I'roadway, in this city in the summer of lsi'S. and the place , was thronged with visitors. Ladies : and gentlemen of all ranks and classes , pf society called to see the iron wonder i tramp to and fro on the llor of Ihe store. , Among the visitors were such men as Tommodore Vanderbilt, John Krricsson. Peter ('.-(.per and S. V. 15. Morse, all of : whom took a deep interest in the ma- . chit e from a scientific point of view. 1 The steam man was about " feet 10 in ches tall. His face has iron sternness of expression. lie was never known to ! smile, and it is common remark that lie wad it hard-featured fellow, and looked ' upon life with stoical indifference. His head was round as a pumpkin, and the i crown was painted black to resemble hair. The neck was somewhat too long, and the trunk was so corpulent that the fig ure resembled t hat of well-fed aldermen. There was a good reason for the corpu lency, for the trunk was the boiler in which the steam was generated to fur nish the power whereby the iron image was made to walk. A door opened into the stomach, which was t lie turnace in to which the coal which supplied the lire was placed. The feet were immensely heavy, as they h id to balance tie"' boly, so as to prevent the figure from falling prone upon the !loor. The walking apparatus was not as complicated as might I e snp lxised. The steam man was. in fact. r nothing more nor l--s than a walking doll, such 'i in the various t. shops, reproduced on a hiri-e Kale, nnd . w ith steam insti ad ot i-prmg ;is the na- ; live power. The linivciiants of the steam man were n'il her rapid nor grace ful. He was indeed a very clumsy fel low, and could mt walk otherwise than upon n tloor, the sid '-.va'k or sonu? level : surface. Furthermore, he could not inoceed except in a j-traUht line. It was impossible for him to turn himself Cither to the right or th" left. When he was on exhibition in the va cant store in on Broadway the "show"1 was conducted something after this f.ish iou : A walk or path about .-ix fi el wide was railed off on one .-.i.le of the store the whoie le:'C.th of the build ir,r, which was about feet long. Tlie steam man was put in motion one:- every halt hour. 1'.' fore he was started the show man would say : "Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is the most wonderful invention of the age. I have the pleas ure ut introducing to your notice the fa mous steam man ho-e exploits have at- , traded the critical attention of many of the lending scieiu i!i: men of the age. This machine can outwalk Wesion or any other human pedestrian. AVe keep him fen. ed in with a railing so that he; cannot get out and tia:np!e upon the , people. Some peisous may tear that - the steam man w ill explode. Now, my friends, there is not the hast danger on this score. His body, which, is the boil er, is made of cast iron, and the walls are fully three inches in thickness. Then he has a pressure gau:re and a safe ty valve. It is impos.-ublc for him to burst as it would be tor an old fashioned k itehen range. AVhile the showman was making the above little speech an assistant was busy stirring up the lire in the bowels of the ilou man and getting up a good head of fiteam. When all was in readiness the throttle valve was opened, and the ma chine walked off with a heavy tramp, that shook the whole building. The ex hibitor and his a. sistant walked on eil h er side of the apparatus, ready to catch him if he stumbltd or was in danger of falling. When the machine laid walk ed the length of the track he was seized and faced about the other way. so that . he could rctr-u his steps. 15y the time the machine had reached the starting jioint ag. tin the fleam would be so low that the apparatus would not work un til more .steam was generated. 'Now, ladies and gentlemen," remark ed the showman, " u have seen all t here is toseeand you art requested to leave the building and make room for other peo ple w ho are outside waiting to come in to see this macvelous steam man." It is estimated that the owners of the steam man realized upwaid of (hki by exhibiting him in New York and other citi.s. Finally the machine ceas ed to be a novelty, and was no lo:.g r a source of proht to tlie proprietors. They leased the steam man to a sp-cnlat r. who took him to Fng'and and placed him on exhibition in London and Liver pool. The Knglish people, however, cared very ltttle about him, and v ry few paid their shillings to see him walk. The less. es brought him back to Ameri ca, and after he had changed hands sev eral times, he was sold for old iron. The inventor of the steam-man alsod vot.d miali time to p. it. ding a steam wagon, with which he hoped to do away with the use of horses. In this, he was in a mvaMire suci -s: n!. 1 1 is wagon eon Id lie pushed to a p e.l of between Seven and eight miles per hour.

Of all grains on the farm doubtless buckwheat is one of the most profitable, the labor employed in pro ing vesting a vrop is not one-half 1 since and h that bestowed in the growing and bar vesting of oats, wheat, etc. In some sections of the country, particularly in Ohio, Pennsylvania and .some of the New England States, this grain is an important product, for Hie reason that flourishes comparatively well on. foor soils and is usually a sure crop to plant. j jg uses are various and the demand al- . . 1 T(o n.'n . i ii. n i f .li i r i ii' i 1 1 P ! . Vena no;."n and .,,ot ; - ritl,ll s" ' are a necessary api-nelage to i every good breakfast, particularly dur- jnr the Winter KI1U Spring mOlllllS. .-i.,, lviived With Other grains, CSlie- i cially corn and oats, it makes a most ex- cellent kind of provender, and is greatly j relished by swine. Tor winter feeding it is excellent, as it is of a heating na- ! ture, ami for ttiis reason should only be : fed in moderate quantities. For ioul- j try it is one of the best grains we have, I and is only surpassed for egg production i by refuse wheat. Buckwheat requires ' ., Hrrl.t ti'nrnt iil mellow mill Tint nvnr f,.i,lo an.l liL'P liMna wlif-n l. hinted on I i rich soil the straw is more abundant ..i.., 1 1 - than the grain, and therefore too rich soil is not favorable for a large yield. I Properly speaking, there are only two I sorts cultivated the black or brown j and the silver hull. The first variety is mostly planted, and is excellent for all I purposes lor which the grain is used. I The latter sort is claimed by some to be I I much sujierior to the former, while oth- ! j eis who have tester! it pronounce it in- j ! ferior. The silver hull ripens a few j ! dajs earlier and continues longer in j ! bloom, while it is claimed by some j i growers that the yield per acre is nearly j i double under the same conditions. The i i grain is of a line light coior, varying ' slightly in shade, and the corners are. much less prominent than in an ordina- j ry variety, while the husk is a tritle i thinner. The tlour is whiter, more like ; wheat, and is quite as nutritious as the i black variety. As a honey plant it is j quite valuable, but gives a dark color t.i j the comb and is heavy bodied, but the j llavor is ordinarily good, though not j equal to that made from white clover, i Tiie seed should be sow n from the 1st to j the loth of July, at the rate of from ! three pecks to a bushel to the acre, and i should be harrowed and bushed in. It is a rapid growing grain, matures in September and should b - cut before it is ripe, to avoid shelling. Cut when the dew is off, and after the straw is dry, rake into little bundles and btand on end, giving the top a little twist so that the straw will hang together and not fall over. The yield of good soil is from j fllteen to twenty-tive luisheis to the acre, i the former being about the average , yield. The straw heretofore has been I considered worthless save tor bedding, but -.; late experiment made in steaming : an.l adding a little meal has resulted in i proving conclusively that when fed in . small quantities it can Vie utilized as a very good mash for stock. There is doubtless very little nutriment in straw, but w hen sprinkled with the meal it be ; comes valuable and palatable. It is said to be of a loosening nature, hence it may be fed with decided advantage during the winter. A vai iety of food ; for slock is especially valuable, and by ! occasionally feeding the straw, in con nection w ith hay and oat straw, w ill no ; doubt result in good farm stock. Al ' most every farmer has some piece of : ground adapted to this grain, and while ' not rich enough for corn and other ' grains, will produce a good crop of this sort of wheat. On new land the crop is most abundant, while the grain i.s plump and large. A'e can conlidently i recommend the growing of buckwheat to all who do not ordinarily grow this important product. It will help in eke out the other sorts grown, and the re sult in feeding will be satisfactory. I'tirit ftinl J-'rii nil. ' The S;i Idle Horse on the Farm. ! "Tlie memory of man extended !i to t l;e day."' says the Nashville Ami riron, i "when the lioys on the farm vvt. iv not too ' jirond t ride a line voting liorsp to clinrcli or to see tlie frills. They took ni ide in the't;olts, and taught them to move free : ly under the- saddle, and above all when ! tlie colt was broken he was taught lo i walk. Now the hoys must have a line bngiry and harness, and the ee.lt ir.ust ; show his stylo and six-ed all the time. The boy is in too great a hurry to allow tin; colt to walk. The colt, bnrgy and boy are soon a nsed-Ui set, by fast driv iiiLT. The whole business of lniggy-riei-ing by farmers'' boys is expensive, e xlr.i - vagaTit and denioraliing. Xot one far j nier in ten can afford such a turnout for ' the lad. Many of them buy a bugirv ' and let it stand in the sun and storm. ' They are too poor to have a houee for i vehi.dcs.

The ; lider and horse catch the lire of sympa thy and excitement in the run, or fast paces, an.l every nervp of tl;e Imdv is 1 iiiougiit into liealthtul and invigorating play.

A STRAXKE B1KI). An interesting story resecting the habits under eculiar circumstances, the chapparal cock common y Known tlie "roaji runner," is related by a . 1 : t ...... ;.. 1.1,1,- u-lm tiL'ie liliicnrp in California lady, who takes pleasure in reproducing any interesting matter re garding the natural beauties of her na tive State: It apiears that a family named Davies, being engaged in olive culture, occupied tbe "Old Mission'1 at !San Diego, around which is a dense growth of cactus, passing through ! which, one day, Mr. Davies heard a ' strange noise resembling the sound made by a pair of pigeons billing and cooing, winning up w un a SUCCthSIOIl Ol short, quick, jerky notes, thus per root I jw-r-root ! pcr-root ! The listener searched until he discovered the cause of his surprise, which was a nest of four young birds of the species tJeococcyx C alifornionus. He took them home, and succeeded easily in raising them in a coop, like chickens, the old ones feed ing them. Their beautiful plumage soon attracted t lie attention of a num ber of vi.-itors to the Old Mission. The birds were finally released, but they regularly returned at night to the t.n" n.i initrini nnnuiu, mxiuniiia -.,., ,...; r.r ll.l....,, 1 T-..-. nf .ii, i. ii.iiiiLiir ... ii.c t-ic iiij r.i u. i n 'J them died. The two remaining fought until one vanquished the other, which for a while repaired to the cactus, but returned with the nest-making season. In the meantime the sole remaining bird had become so selfish in iis attach- j ment to Miss Davies that it liecame a I nuisance to the household. It would allow no living thing near lier, showing its jealousy by darting fiercely at the object of its hatred, lacking it furiously with its hard bill, whether cat, dog or child, oftentimes drawing blood, after which it would retire satisfied. For its own dainty consumption it would bring in beetles, bugs, spiders, and when any thing larger was captured for instance, liwnl or snia11 snake it would fly to its mistress, strut around her until no ticed anil jHdted for its enterprise, dur ing which it coos like a parrot whose feath'.-rs are lieing rublied down. "With the returned mate it began a nest on a small table by the window in the young holy's room. The nest a most uncom fortable affair, about the depth of a soup-plate was made of large, rough . 1 ' . . . ... si icks, some of them about ten inches long, which they brought and laid on I the ontside of the window-sill, if the ; ! window n mained closed, for the occu- I ! pant of the room to add to the nest, j ! which she faithfully did, and the nest ; i was .soon completed, the inner lining j i boing dry grass and straw. I5ut one eg was laid in this rude nest in its present location, inasmuch as the nude j ' one day decided the fate of 'household j , and home"' by bringing to his mate a ' I large gopher snake, which twirled itself 1 around his beak more than half alive, j j w hereupon, with a jieculiar nervous sen- sat ion, the lady immediately removed their lodging to the "'cold ground" among the cactus, where the birds ! hatched a premising brood, and again ! brought them to the house for foo l like j c hickens. The young birds are much ; like young turkeys, and at full size are I about as large as half-grown turkey lens. The "road runner" particularly ; mentioned never forgot its attachment I to -Mis Davies. and would follow her i everywhere after its chicks were grown ; thevonly parted when the family left tlie country, leaving the birds behin 1, i which they now regret. Fi-itmisrt, :'!'. thi. a .ooi) uoni) ioi: the skiwk. A fuller acriuaintaiice with the habits ! of the skunk would lead ns to consider it one eif the most valuable friends. We I m ike our acqnaintance with it, however, j through the sense of smell, or the death of young chickens and cluc ks, of which : the skunk i.s very fond. The intense odor ot the skunk is oppressive, and : it makes iis picsev.ee known in a way that is uni'iue and searching. AVhile the fragrance of tin-skunk i.s sui generis and overpowering, it is not damaging as that from sewers ;.n.l sinks and neglect ed potato bins and cabbage pits Judg ; ing the latter from edor alone, they I inu.-t be condemned more surely than I the odoriferous skunk. i"e know the , uses of pot aloes and cabbages, ;;nd think j of the ir good cpialit ies. licit not so wit h S the skunk. I.'-t us see if we cannot af- ford to endure them on the farm, and allow tin-in an occasional chicken or ' duck for a change of diet. The skunk i is pre-eminently an insectivorous ani ! Inal. He diligently pursues his calling j at night when insects are most abundant ' and. when his enemies, clogs and men, ! are asleep. lie elevours even the Co'.or ' ado potato-bug (ilc'Cein-lineata) and finds 'a rich morsel in the straw berry-grub (lachone-stra). lie makes hearty meals on cut worms, and gorges himself with white grubs, the larva of the May beet- ' le, which he roots after in the loose sod, j i or t he decaying hay or st raw about st ack I yards. lie plows through the litter and ; leaves gathered in th' nooks and coiners 1 of the liel.ls, whi. li are theveit and ! breeding-places of tbe myriads of chinch j bugs. He reaches millions of enemies , in secluded places which men cannot. ' reach with the plow, or rake, or tire. AVe may clear the litter and trash from ; our tie-Ids, but the corners ,ind fence-rows , harbor the enemy we try to destroy. A kind providence has sent to our aid this ' half-domes! h; anin:al, which increases ' like the Norway rat in jopulateil dis- j tin ts, and lor the common reason that , his food is more abundant there. We : w ish we could s. e some like compensa . tion in the presence of the rat, but 1 science has not yet revealed it, ami ' Ai'ie-rican civilization has not. like Chi j riese, found use for it. The skunk, rni- ii.v the rat, pays as it goes. we can i afford to take care of the chickens and t diiet.s :.inl lot Ihf skunks mutt intv l.uild the walls of our porches and dwel- lings so the skunks can not rt t tinder them, nnd they will keep at such a elis- tiince from our lioms as not to offend j us. The old Greek motto, "Know thy- j se-lf. " is a pood cue, and it suppests a ; pood one for us, "Farmer know thv j friends." Clurin nti Co.ntiifiTvil. Fr.noN axu IIi stv Xaii.s.
