HOW THF CORNTIKLr8 OF THI MORMON
FIOKEERS WERE SATED FBOM
DESTRUCTION.
The Salt Lake Iltral l says : There is
no biped for which the old farmer of
this country has more uemiine affection
than th) utterly valueless in a market
able Fa-iisw sea pull. This rather pret
ty bird was quite abundant in this val
ley the pre.-wnt year in fact, it is stat
ed, only once before were there soruany.
In the fields a few miles V!ov the city,
a week or two aro, thousands of them
could If seen. 1 hey followed t tie plow
man alonjr the furrow and wt-re almost
as tame as chickens. Wherever there
was a newly plowed fll l, there you
could see the fill, and as fat as a fur
row was turned uj the birds would fly
behind the plowmen and commence de
vouring the Insects which were thus ex
cised to sight. They seemed perfectly
fearless, and they have good reason to
be fearless here, for the farmer looks
upon them as his friend, and they seem
to understand fully that he holds them
in that liht. They fly all about him,
within three or four feet, and while,
perhaps, unwilling to submit to being
caught, they allow any other familiarity
that can be practiced, for they them
selves will take a ereat many good na
tured liberties. They will not touch
grain, or anything the farmer desires to
remain untouched ; they only eat the
worms and insects which are injurious
to the soil and crops. ears ago a law
was passed making it an offense to kill
one of these birds. The law is probably
yet on the statute books, but it is liter
ally a dead letter, because there has
been no occasion to call the law into
life. A farmer in fact, any person ac
quainted with the habits of the sea-gull
would as soon think of wantonly kill
ing one of his own chickens as of in
tentionally harming one of these queer
birds. As before stated, a law was
passed by the legislature, making it an
offense to kiil a sea-gull ; it was passed
for this reason :
In the second year after the pioneers
had arrived here in 1848 the large
black crickets common to these moun
tainons reirions made their appearance
in this and some other valleys in clouds
figuratively speaking. They did not
fly, but came hopping down the moun
tain sides in myriads. So vast were the
numbers the mountains were black, and
seemed literally alive with the creat bier.
black, ugly things, each one about the
size of a common man's thumb.It was
at the time the crops were promising ;
everything looked green ; the future
outlook looked bright, and the heart of
the sunburnt and toil worn pioneer
graw lighter as the prospects of a great
er harvest and greater comforts grew
more and more tangible with each day's
growth of the heavy grain. But blacker
than the coalblack which crickets came
hopping down the mountain slopes in
countless nnmbers. leaving barrenness
and desolation in their wake, were the
cloud of despair which filled the heart of
of the weary farmer as this new and un
locked for curse came slowly and surely
toward the pride, the joy and the prom
ise of the early settler his field of wav
ing corn and grain. The foe was utter
ly unconquerable so far as human efforts
were concerned ; there was nothing the
heartsick farmer could do but stand idly
by and see the labor of the season des
troyed. Children gazed with wonder
and terror ; women looked with eyes full
of tears, and strong men watched with
hearts of despair. It was an awful
hour. But lo 1 a wonder 1 The sky is
filled with lartre birds ; they fly to the
scene of the disaster, and then lieht in
the fields where the crickets hold sup
reme sway. Thencome3a chaoge. At
once the flocks of birds begir, to eat the
crickets. From morn till night they
continue, never ceasing. "When filled
until they can hold no more they vomit
up the black mass aud again continue
to eat the crickets. This is kept up day
after day, until not one of the devour
ing host is seen ; the crojs are saved
and the birds fly away. This bird was
the one which could recently be seen in
the fields, and was then even more
abundant than at any time since the
dbove mentioned event. It was not sur
prising that the pioneers should return
thanks to God for his succor, and for
ever after the sea gull should be looked
upon as a dear friend, to be protected
and encouraged.
Ccrativf. Properties of Milk.
A Washington correspondent, in speak
ing of Gen, Robert C Schenck, ex-Minister
to Knglaod, says that, instead of
being very decrepit, as has been repre
sented in newspapers, he appears to be
in very good physical condition. He
stated that he had been given up four
months ago as incurable with Brigbt's
disease of the kidneys, when his physi
cian told him to use skimmed milk as
his only diet. He says. 'I tackled the
skimmed milk, stuck to it, and here I
am almost a new man. I believe the
skimmed milk is a specific foi Bright's
disease." As to the treatment of ty
phoid fever and other fevers, and of the
treatment of typhoid with buttermilk,
successfully, the writer had beard before
Surgeon General Barnes, about three
years ago, heard of an old allopathic
physician in Virginia, who, it was al
leged, never Tailed to cure typhoid fever.
As there were many patients in the Un
ited States army dying with that disease,
Genera! Barnes concluded to visit the
ancient Virginia doctor and learn how
he treated his typhoid patients. When
he met the old gentleman, General
Barnes inquired : "What i? the mode
of treatment by which you succeed ?"
"Why," replied the venerable physician,
"it's the simplest thing in the world,
all you have got to do is to get the pa
tient's stomach and bowelsin working
order, and then fill them op wilh butter
miik, and keep the stomach filled with
that alone. That's all. I never lose a
patient if he is not already in a collaps
ed condition when I eet him."
Surgeon General Barnes told your in
formant that he adopted the buttermilk
treatment among the soldiers in the ar
my, and has found it most efficacious.
It appears some ten years ago tbe medi
cal science of France and Russia com
pared notes as to the use of plain sweet
milk in the treatment of their hospital
typhoid patients, and concurred in the
statement that milk is not only of won
derful efficiency in typhoidal cases, but
in the treatment of fever generally.
Rttst ox Wheat. The yellow or orange-colored
dust that forms on the
leaves and stems of wheat shortly be
fore reaping time, is caused by a minute
fungus. The fungus plant attacks the
wheat some weeks before it makes its
appearance, and fills the interior sub
stance of the leaver and stems with its
fine threads. The threads act as roots,
by -which the fungus or rust plant ob
tains its nourishment from the sub
Mnnce of the growing wheat rnnt.
There is no remedy for the mst after it
has once appeared npon the surface of
the wheat. The most effective preven
tative is blue vitriol or blue stone (sul
phate of copper) two or three onnces of
this salt to a bushel of wheat. The
wheat is soaked in the brine a short
time before sowing. There has lHen
much enerey rxpei.ded in the eudeavor
to find some variety of wheat that is
rust proof. Prof. Brewer, who had
charge of the grain statistics in the late
census, finds many districts where a va
riety of wheat has sprang up. that for a
year or so is almost rust-iroof. but after
wards it becomes invested the same as
other sorts. As a precaut ion, burn th?
stubble, thus destroying many spores
that would otherwise germinate and

RIDGE CCLTURK.
Tbe following from the pen of a prac
tical farmer of Hamilton county, Ohio,
is worthy of careful study.
Ridge culture consists in raising our
cultivated ground into ridges, the set
ting of our plants upon thoseridges, and
the cultivation of the ground afterwards
as means of enrichment of the soil.
Small grain and corn are not cultivated
alike. With small grain the ground is
thoroughly plowed and pulverized, after
which the grain is seeded in broad rows
six inches wide on top and twelve inch
es from centre to centre. Behind the
seed distributers follow the shovels
which take the soil from between the
seed rows and cover the thinly scattered
seed. This makes a ridge on the seed
bed and by the same process leaves a
f uirow between the rows. By this plan
we realize several important advantages.
Nature provides that every growing
plant shall send its roots into the earth,
and its top upward. The dividing line
between the roots and the top is near
the surface of the soil. If the plant be
given deep cultivation and deep soil un
der the seed it will make strong growth
and a strong plant. By ridging the
depth of your soil is double, and at the
same time your deepened soil holds its
moisture better in seasons of drouth.
In seasons of excessive rainfalls the
ridges serve as sheds and the furrows as
gutters to convey away the surface wa
ter. In slight rains the moisture is all
retained, the thorough pulverization and
the relation of the ridges and furrows
making the conformation of tbe ground
favorable to their retention. In this
way a deep reservoir is established from
which the plants may draw theii suste
nance by capilary attraction.
Sunlight and heat are indispensable
to plant growth, and on ridged ground
the sun has more surface on which to
exert its power than it can have on level
ground. Your corn, tobacco, cotton,
cabbage and other crops will therefore
come to maturity weeks earlier than un
der level culture. That is.but a plain
logical deduction.
I will briefly recount the points in
which ridge culture is superior to the
old methods;
1. By ridging, the depth of the soil
cultivated is doubled, it retains moisture
to that degree better, aud its capacity to
withstand drouth is accordingly dou
bled. 2. B ridging, we not only raise the
plant out of the" wet and cold, but w e
provide it an effectual ui-der-drainage
in excessive rainfalls. In light rain
falls, the preparation of the ground has
in effect made soil a sponge, that in
drouth will yield its stored reserve of
moisture.
3. Sun, rain, dew and electricity have
easier access to the plant by ridge than
by level culture, which left a furrow and
drained the water on your growing
grains, it placed the seed deep in the
ground near the impenetrable hard pan;
hence the roots could not "tiller" or
"stool out,'; for that operation of na
ture nearly always takes place near the
surface. If the seed be planted too
deep, it has a struggle to reach the air
and sunlight, and often never comes up,
for the load above is beyond its lifting
power.
5. We make use of all our ground to
the best advantage, and have it in far
better condition for succeeding crops
i thau under the old methods. Ihat is to
say, crops raised by ridge culture do not
impoverish the soil so much as crops
by level culture.
G. From experiments in this mode of
culture, there is no question that tbe
average yield is increased not less than
20 per cent. ; and further, that the grain
is improved in quality.
Blackberries axd Rashberries.
Every one who has gathered wild ber
ries is aware that the stems grow to the
height of six or eight feet and graceful
ly be Lid over at the top. The lower
part of the cane bears little or no fruit,
it being nearly all at the top of the bush.
The same happens on a smaller scale
with tbe raspberry when left to itself.
When we cultivate the blackberry for
the sake of better fruit than the wild
plants usually afford, we should also en
deavor to have more of it, and more
conveniently placed on the bushes.
From questions that are asked, it is ev
ident that all are not aware that the
stems of the blackberry and raspberry
(at least those cultivated for fruit) are
only biennial. The plant throws up
from the root, often at some distance
from the old stems, vigorous shoots,
which grows rapidly, and by autumn
will become ripe and hard canes, like
the old ones. The old canes, which
have given a crop of fruit, have com
pleted their work, and though they may
remain alive for a while, will all be
dead by next spring, When the fruit
has been gathered, it is best to cut the
canes entirely away to find room for the
new ones. They should have more at
tention than they usually receive ; if
left to themselves they will become just
like the wild plants, straggling, and
with their fruit all at the top. Not on
ly on account of the greater quantity of
fruit, but for the ease in picking it,
should the canes be pruned. Black
berry canes should never grow over five
feet, and many prefer to keep them at
three feet high. Whenever the green
shoot has reached the desired height,
remove the top, or growing point, which
being tender, may be pinched off with
the thumb and finger. Soon after this
is done, branches will start along the
stem, and these sbould also be pinched,
the lower ones when eighteen inches
long, and the upper when twelve inches.
By a little attention, once a week, or of
tener. giving the needed pinching, the
blackberry, instead of being a long,
straggline shrub, catching at the cloth
ing ot all who approach, may be brought
into the form of a neat pyramidal tush,
which, the next season will be loaded
with fruit from top to bottom. The
same treatment may be followed with
raspberries, which are usually kept
shorter. One of the greatest pleasures
in gardening is found in training and
shaping plants, and making them grow
as we wish, and iu nothing are the ef
fects of this more strikingly shown than
in the blackberry and raspberry. Amer

Early Sweet Corn. Judge Miller,
of Missouri, informs the Gcrmajitown
Telegraph of a (act discovered by him
self, in which a full week can be gained
in cetting sweet corn for boiling, lie
said it was. as soon as the ear is formed
break the top down or cut it off, but
leave the stalk erect, in order that the
pollen of the tassel will be sure to dust
the silk of the ears, as they may not be
fully impregnated should "the stalk be
topped. He stated that he experiment
ed for years and was entirely satisfied
that it is uniformly practical and of
value. In fact he thinks the ear be
comes more fully developed also. This
is a hint easy to adopt, and may be of
interest to truckers as weli as for the
private garden.
A cow reared on a farm vlioro eh

t remain is more valuable to a farmer
i nan a strange one. She is acclimated .
She is acquainted with the herd with
which she must associate. She is fa
miliar with tbe land from which she ob
tains her food, and can travel over it
with greater ease than a strange cow, i
in consequence she will yield more milk
aud be more profitable.
Random Hints. Vinegar will re

Starch paste, n little thicker than for
clothes, is the best for fastening paper
