Qaf(}aai u4 Aatwrrv
Does the soil affect the quality of Rus
set apples ?
Yes. Those raised on sandv soil are
more juicy and of fine flavor, while those
on hill lands are the best keepers.
How long after planting before apple
traes will bear ?
Usually about the fourth or fifth year
they will beffin to bear small crops. Oc
casionally a tree will bear the third year,
bat this is not common. Orchards well
cared for often scarcely bear at all before
the seventh or eighth* year. Much de
pends on the soil and variety.
How many grapes can be raised to the
acre f
Three tons to the acre are as many as
should be raised. Overcropping rains
many vineyards. Improved quality
makes np for any lack in quantity. A
Connecticut cultivator recommends*three
pounds to a viae. He also recommend.*
attention to a more extended culture of
the grape; they are especially whole
some, will keep several months* and the
vines come into bearing in less than half
the time required for the apple and pear,
and they are more easily protected from
the attacks of insects. Oat of sixty va
rieties raisr d by this gentleman he finds
the Concord the most profitable for mar
ket, and likes the Delaware for family
use.
E. 8., a World subscriber wanted to
know how to mark fowls so as to distin-
Sish pallets from old hens after they
ve become grown.
Fanciers make, with a small punch
for the purpose, holes in the skin be
tween the toes of chickens.
What is the best manure for the
quince?
One fanner, who has noted its success
for sixty years, says that salt is the best
fertilizer for the quince. He used it in
both nursery and orchard, and finds it
excellent for cherries and pears. It is
applied beneath the trees, in quantity
from four to eight bushels per acre, ac
cording as it appears to be needed.
Quinces are liable to overload, and the
small ones should be plucked off in sea
son. The qninoe should grow in bash
form, and rarely requires a knife.
How can batter Ixi preserved through
the summer months so a*i to be good for
market in the fall ?
A farmer's wife replied that if well
made and the batter-milk is all ont of it,
butter covered with brine and kept air
tight will be fonnd all right in the fall.
The brine mnst be in sufficient quantity
to cover and surround the butter, and if
packed in wooden vessels, these should
be thoroughly saturated with brine be
fore the batter is put in, or it will not
be air-tight.
Picking (ieese.
Picking should be done in a close
room or every breath of air will scatter
the feathers and down. Having taken
up yonr bird, draw a long stocking over
ito nead and down on the neck, to pre
vent its wreaking its vengeance on you
by its mercileea biting.
The wings are formidable weapons
also, and must be held, or their blows
will leave many a black and blue mark
as evidence of their power. Geese might
be picked upon a caponizing table and
faetened in the same way as w chicken for
the operation of caponizing. Pick when
the quill of the feather is ripe, that is,
clear ; while the feathers axe developing
the qnill is filled with bloody matter,
which Bhows their unfitness for picking.
When picking, take ail the small feath
ers, leaving all the large ones, except
four or five under each wing, which most
be-plucked to knep the wing* from droop- |
ing. Take off the down mly in warm
weather. The number ft imoa it is
t liest to pick ge*e in u season depend*
upon toe elttnata. The rule we have
given alxure will enable any one to de
termine when the feathers will do to
pluck. Keen the geese in a warm place
when they are out of water, if the weath
er is cool after pieking. The early goe
! lings might lx> picked when their feath
er* aw grown and ripe, and ret grow
out full in time for fattening, for the
j holiday market- The yield of feather*
will bo alnuit one-quarter of a jxitnid )
j from eaoh got*se, and thiw alone will
! very nearly pay for waring them.

Origin of the Spanish Merino Sheep.
The invaluable race of the Spanish
merino sheep is probably an inheritance
of Roman civilisation. The race most
prised by the Romans was called the
Tarrentine. from Tarreutine, a towu set
tled by a Greek oniony. They were
called also Greek sheep. * Their wool was
of exceediug fineness, and tliey were
protected by coverings of skins, and were
also carefully housed and ofteu com bed
and lathed with oil and wine. Hence
they were very delicate. Columella, the
eminent agricultural writer of the Ro
mans, who lived in the eoimtrv beieje
the Christian era, relates that his pater
nal nnole, M. Columella, " a man of rare
genius and an illustrious agriculturalist,"
transported from Cadiz to his farm lamia,
which were in Roetica, comprehending a
s>art of the present province of Estrama
lura, some wild rams of admirable white
ness, brought from Africa and crossed
them with the covered or Tarreutine
ewes. Their offspring, which had the
paternal whiteness, being put to the
paternal ewes, uroduoed nuns with a fine
fleece. The progeny of these again re
tained the softness of the dam and the
wliiteuees uf the aire and gnuidsire.
Otlihr agriculturalists undoubtedly imi
tated Columella, and a stronger constitu
tion was thus imparted to the fine
fleeced but delicate sheep of ancient
Italy. That this improvement com
menced in ancient Spain is further estab
lished by the testimony of Strabo, who
says, in his account of the geography of
that country, that in his time, that of the
Emperor Tibirius, wool of great fineness -
and lieanty was exported from Hudilauia,
s port of Booties, and that the rams were
sold in that province for improving the
breed for a taleut each, or about SI,OOO.
When the Roman empire was overrun
by the barbarians the Tarreutine stock
of Italy, being very Under, became ex
tinct, bat the improved stock of Booties,
living in the mountains, survived, and
perpetuated by the Moors (who, skilled
in the textile arts, could appreciate its
value), still exist* as the memorials of
Spain. If this view is correct the merino
race is the most important surviving
relic of the material civilization of the
Greeks and Romans.
The Sleepy Duke's PerlL
The late Duke of Wellington was ac
customed during the latter years of his
life to drive himself abont in a curricle,
a habit which caused his family consid
erable uneasiness since, from his increas
ing years and failing vision, it seemed
probable that he would meet with qpme
accident. The duke's well known char
acter, however, was such that nobody
dared to hint snch a thing to him, anil
all the round-about methods taken to in
duce him to abandon his charioteering
having failed, he was left to enjoy its
pleasures at peace. What rendered this
so extremely dangerous was his habit of
going off suddenly to sleep, which
brought him so many hairbreadth es
capee that at last it was arranged for
some meml<er of the family to accom
pany him whenever he could do so with
out awakening his suspicions. One day
his second son, Lord Charles, contrived
to be honored with the perilous in vita *
tion. After driving a certain distance
along the road, the duke went off
into a uap, and one of the reins fell
from his hands, while he kept hold of
the other, still feeling the horses' months
with it. The result was that the ani
mals were gradually edged toward a deep
and steep ravine which bordered the
road. Lord Charles, watching tilings
meantime, and praying that his father
might, as he had done jnany times be
fore. awake in time to prevent the else
inevitable smash. The duke, however,
continued to nod and to pnll, until at
last, as the horses were on the very edge
of the ditch. Lord Charles seized the
fallen rein, and giving it a pluck, pnll
ed them short round into the road again.
With a sharp turn the dtike awoke, and
seeing the rein in hia son's hand, asked
angrily r '' What are yon doing with the
reins, sir?"
"Well, sir," replied Lord Charles,
" the horses were going straight over the
edge, and I just palled them off it to
prevent us being smashed to pieces."
The duke looked at him sternly, and
said: "I'll trouble yon to mind yonr
own business."
tjueer Discipline.
It is with reason that the Turkish
officers are often reproached with not
being at the head of their ranks, etc.,
says a war correspondent, for one often
meets officers who can neither read nor
write. This would l>e a very serious in
oonvenience in any other army; in Tur
key these defects are less thought of, fur
a very wide latitude is allowed a soldier
who tights, and here the warrior imitates
the hunting dog. This initiative is
specially remarkable in the ontpost ser
vice, where there are only small squads.
Thus I saw at Rakovitza a post of some
ninety men commanded by two sergeants
who absolutely did nothing; each went
his own way, taking advice of none save
the sun, which told them the time of
day. That which strikes the stranger
most is the absence of respect which
soldiers show and the cool and pleasant
manner in which they salnte their supe
riors. The soldier borrows bis tebacon
of the officer and the officer will take
from the soldier without the slightest
scruple. If by chance a soldier meets a
drunken officer in the street,which Some
times happens, he leads him to his quar
ters, managing the matter so adroitly
that no one knows anything about it.
When campaigning officers and men live
the same life. At K&kovitza the military
governor lives side by side with his or
derlies, smokes the same tobacco, dines
from the same cuisine, with this differ
ence, however, that the officer eats with
a fork, while the men dip their fingers
into every dish. If by chance the mor
sel of mutton he brings up is not suffi
ciently appetizing he puts it back again
into the dish.
Strength ef Insects,
Should any of our renders be skeptical
upon tin* point, perhaps the following
ilbiHtmtiona of •uperbercnlcan strength
with which the commonest inmvt* are
endowed, selected from curious source*,
may prepare u* to credit more easily the
fact* which we shall have to record. Tha
common lien, as every one knows, will,
without much apparent effort, jump two
hundred time* it* own length,and several
graashopix'r* ami lixuist* arc said to lie

performance. Again, for a man to run
ten mile* within the hour would lx a.i
mitted to la* a tolerably good display of
pcdcatruuuam; but what are we to say
to the little fly observed by Mr. llelisle,
"*o nun lite a* to be almo*t inviaible,"
winch ran nearly six inches in asetxmd.and
in that space was calculated to have made
oue thousand ami eighty sUqx> * Tin*,
according to calculation, is as if a man
whose steps measured only two feet,
should ruu at the incredible rate of
twenty mile* in a minute. Equally sur
prising arc the instance* of insect
strength given by Mr. Newjwirt. The
great staglxx-tle, which tears otl the baik
from the r**'ts ami tlie braiiche*of trte,
has lieen known to gnaw a hole, an lueli
ill diameter, through tlie sale of a canis
ter iu which it was confined,and ou which
tlie mark* of it* jaw* were distinctly visi
ble, as proved by Mr. Stephana, who
exhibited tlie canister t oue of the meet
ing* of the Kutomohtgical Society. Tlie
oomuion lxvtle can, without injury, sup
port and even raise very great weights,
and make its way beneath almost any
amount of pressure. In order to put tlie
streugth of this insect-Atlas to the test,
experiments have la-en made which
prove that it i* able to sustain and escape
frtun beueatli a load of from twenty to
thirty otfucea, a prodigious burden, when
it is remembered that tlie insect itself
doe* not weigh as many grain*; m fact,
uutv mure taking man as a standard of
comparison, it is as though a person of
ordinary site could riusc and get from
under a weight of between forty and fifty
tons. This amount of strength has not,
however, iviUiued to the sliort, thick
limbed beetlA. Mr. Newjxirt unoe fast
ened a small carabus —oue of the most
active ami elegantly formed of the lax'tle
tribe —which weighed only three grama
and a half, by means of s silk thread, to
a small piece of }mper, upon which tlie
weight to lie moved was placed. At a
distance of ten niches from its load the
insect was able to draw after it, tip an in
clined plan* of twenty-five degrx, very
nearly eighty-five grains; but when
placed upou a plane of five degrees in
clinatiou, it drevr after it one hundred
and twenty-five grains exclusive of tlie
friction to lie overcome in moviug its
load—as though a wan was to drag up a
hill of similar inclination, a wagon
weighing two tons and a half, having
first taken off tlie wheel*.
•♦We Shall Meet Again."
Husband* and wives, parents nad
children, lovers, friends—ail have to asy
good-bye, now fur a longer and now for
a shorter term; now fordaysand now fur
eternity. But, whether abort or loug, it
is a fact which forms part of the very
existence of man—the messenger born
into the world coincident with himself,
and dedicated to the task of bringing
with him piun and leaving behind him
sorrow—the instigator armed by )uve
himself with the knotted tliong, and the
more tender the love ths more dearly the
lash. If it is only good-bye for a time,
and speedy oulook of meeting, there are
many precious cumjß'iisatiiHM and the
dear remembrance of the beloved but
not bewailed absent is tlire*d<d through
with pleasant thoughts of love and hope
—of sweetest memories and as joyous
forecasting, like pearls and golden beads
strung on a sable thread. "We shall
meet again." Ot all the words to con
jure with this is the most powerful, and
helps the soul over tli© rough pass of
absence with the firmest and most con
soling touch. Nothing equals it for
power of comfort,not even the knowledge
that the dear absent ones are happy;
aud, to tliue who love truly, it works as
a charm on a wound, soothing the pain
of the smart if it cannot close the gaping
edges. 44 We shall meet again." Sea*
may be between the loving, ami distance
may lengthen time iuto what seems an
unbearable extent; but 44 we shall meet
again " sounds like the far off voice of
the watchdog when the wanderer is loot
in the darkness of the path less moor, the
bewildering depths of the lonely wood.
It is a voice that guides him to the safe
security of home, and is an earnest of
the reward to come when the weary jour
ney is over; for wherever those who love
may be, if divided, the journey is weary
ana the separation painful, if also the
hope of reunion is consoling. One may
be in the sunshine of the fervid south,
the other under the gloomy skies of the
chilly north; but there will lie some
thing in the heart of this lost that will
stand instead of bright blue skies and
wealth of flowers, of the poetry and art
that aoeni to cast a halo round every cir
cumstance of life; just as with the other
all the lieautj and poetry will have its
sting in the alwence of the beloved, and
its greatest charm is the hope of reunion.
Elu* the most beautiful country iu the
world would lose its power of fascination
—the pain of sentiment would be greater
than the pleasure of sensation.
A Turkish Town in Asia Minor.
The streets of Erzeoum are compared
by a correspondent to a net of wriggling
eels. No squares, no good-looking
houses, offer anywhere a means of set
ting oneself right; everywhere nothing
but houses; rising slightly from the
ground, with grass roofs, on which may
frequently be seen mufflcd-up women,
childreu at play and lambs frisking
abont. Children and lamlw sometimes
fall through the chimney into the house,
in which men, horses, oxen, cows ami
sheep live together. In bad weather the
chimneys are covered with flat stones,
and then the smoke fills the worn or
stable, whichever one chooses to call it.
A small part of this room, devoid of light
or air, in which a fire made of dung and
finely-cut straw burns, is separated by a
railing. Here paterfamilias sits on a
rag, smoking his chibongne or
and receives guests. The preparation of
food gives little trouble; a penny a day
suffices to satisfy the palate and stomach,
even in wealthy families. A little bread
and cheese, perhaps a encumber, under
favorable circumstance* a pilaff, on feast
days a piece of mutton, which the Ar
menian women roast particularly well
that is the whole bill of fare.
Large Wheat Held.
The Dayton (Ohio) Democrat savs :
On the second of July a farmer named
Long, who resides several miles sonth
of this city, !>egan to harvest his wheat,
a twenty-acre field of niee grain. Being
in want of cash, he shelled some of the
grain and took a sample of it to a miller
and asked what he would give him for
his crop per bushel. He struck a bar
gain at 91.65 per bushel. Ou innuiring
how much his crop would yield, Mr.
Long said it ougnt to be fully 400
bushels. But he was most agreeably
astonished when the threshing was com
] pleted, and the grain measured in the
field, and it turned out to be almost 800
bushels instead of 400, yielding almost
forty bushels to the acre. Mr. Long in
forms us that there are a numlier of fields
of wheat in his region which are quite
as heavy, or heavier than his.
Kuilroad Statistics.
Advance sheets of Poor'* Railway
Manual, soon to be issued, show that the
( number of miles operated in this country
last year were 73,508, against 71,750 in
1875. The gross earnings amounted to
8497,200,000, against 503,100,000 in the

8186,400,000, ttgainst$185,500,OOOin 1875.
The increase in net earnings in the face
of the large fulling off in gross earnings
is attributed to the spirit of eoonomy

A Frightful Death.
The Shenandoah Herald says: Mr.
George Fister, clerk of the First Na
tional bank in Mahoney, Pa., and twen
ty-two years of age, wa* bitten on the
outer edge of the left hand seven months
ago by a black aud tan dog with which
he was playing. The wound healed
quickly, causing little or no pain. The
day after Mr. Fister was bitten the dog
waa seen playing with a ball of worsted,
and. aa he died a day or two later with
symptoms of choking, it was supposed
death was caused by his having swal
lowed or having attempted to swallow
some of the worsted. Mr. Fister first
manifested unmistakable signa of the
dread disease an last Thursday afternoon,
and died early on Sunday morning, hi*
suffering* being limited in some aixty
hour*. After Thursday the symptom a
were clearly marked, the spells at mad
ness frequent and violent, the interval*
few. During these spells the sufferer
would snap, bite, foam and strike at tho
three or four strong men who constantly
guarded him,aud who,for self-protection,
had their hand* thickly gloved, and
carried each a pillow before them to re
press each onaet. In the calm and lucid
intervals he apologized, remembering
distinctly hia "words and actions. In his
next spell he would fight more furiously
and cry out: " Ah, didn't I give it to
you ? Didn't I fetch you that time ?"
etc. As pieces of ice were thrown to
ward his mouth he would snap hia
opened jaws at them most furiously,
lie was attended by I)r. Carpenter, of
Pottaville, ami three* of the resident doc

His throat swelled on Saturday, and
with the most painful chuckling and
choking he died early on Snaday morn

Jouai Haiiway was leim iu Portsmouth,
1712, aud died in Loudon, Kept. 5, 1786.
The earlier part of his life was passed in

burg, in which capacity he visited Per
sia—where he probably tucked up his
umbrella idea—and publiehol, as the
result of his observations, a " Historical
Account of Hrttiah Trade over the Cos

him to continue the use of his pen, aud
iu 1756 he published a "Journal of
Eight Days' Journey from Portsmouth
to Kingston - upon - Thames," which
caused the amiable Dr. Johuson to re
mark that„"Jouaa acquired some repu

nearly seventy pamphlet*, uiuetly ou

philanthropist, but s pout sutler.
Having expended what property he had

The Sunflower.
A well-known plant of thrifty growth
and generous yield, ia the hrlianthu*,
or oommoti " sunflower." It i* culti
vated extensively in certain portions of
thi* country for the oil contained in tlie
maaa of seeds it produce*.
In Tartary.' aa well aa among other
Eastern tribes, aud also by American
Indian*, in certain quarter* of tlie West,
these seed* are cooked and eaten. Iu
aome sect ions, where it* valuable pro
perties are appreciated, the aecd ia need
for poultry food, at time*, with great
benefit.
The sunflower ia easily grown, require*
no special cultivation; it may be planted
all around, near the fences or walla of
the farm, or estate, where nothing else
ia cultivated; and for a change of food
or mixed in small quantities with other
grains, raw or cooked, it is an admirable
thing for adult fowls. It can lie so easi
ly produced, and it i* really so valuable
in its way, that we are surprised it ia not
more generally grown for a partial poul
try food.— Poultry World.
The Secretary Bird.
A curious experiment took place the
other day at the Jardin d'Acclimatisa
tion in Paris. A nest of living vipers
was thrown into the inclosure where tlte
secretaries or snake-eaters (from the
Cape) are kept These birds have the
bright eye of birds of prey, powerful
beaks, and vulture-like bodies mounted
on legs like those of a wading bird.
Whenever the secretaries saw the snakes
they fell upon them with shrill cries,
ani{ an exciting struggle ensued. The
reptiles, fixed on the ground by the
strong feet of the bird, twisted and
hissed, and bit; bnt they could make no
impression on the rngoee skin, and they
were chopped into mince-meat with a
few strokes of the beak. The secretary
is also, it may tie remarked, a great de
stroyer of rodents.

Athenmua, in the " Diepnoeopliiata,"
refer* to the flute made of the leg bone
of the kid en en invention of the (G
nan i Thetmna, and at*tew that the flute
elephantine (ivory) waa firat bored among
the Phteuinana. Flu tea among the
elaaaic Greek* were alao made of aaaea'
bonea, which are said to be remarkablv
aoiid. They are anppoeed to have a full
ueMa of tone highly auggeabve of the in
flated atyle of their orifpaal proprietor.
Dr. Hclilietuann, in hta excavations at
Hiaaarlik. dtaoovered a beautifully-orna
mented flute of bone. The flu tee of the
Armuctunau* were made of the arm and
leg li 'ii* of prisoners offered in aacri
fice. The Oahba need human bonea, but
no* .e the bonea of the jaguar. Their
flute haa three holes, and, like the Gui
ana flute of bamboo, ia blown by the
breath directed againat the edge of the
orifice. A Guiana flute in the National
Muaeum at Washington ia made of the
thigh bone of a jaguar. The Uaupc In
diana of Brazil uae fifea and flute# of
reed and of deer'a bonea. Wallace alao
noticed a whiatie made of a deer'a akul).

long and three-eightha inch bore, united
by twine ueat'y wound and worked. On
the back of the lower part are finger
hole*. The whistle ia formed of a cone
of reainona cement beneath the mouth
orifice, the ridge of cement rising to the
center of the tube. The Kafir whistles
are of bone or ivory, ami are blown into
in the manner of 'blowing a key, while
lsdding the instrument againat tae lower
lip. The flute of the Nfaoriea it made
frotn,a human thigh bone, that of a alain
enemy befog preferred. Two ancient
Peruvian pipe* of bone had five flnger-
HNaa each, and one of human bone had
four finger-holm.

Lightning Striking a Train.
An incident of a recent thunder storm,
aa noticed by a passenger on a tram on
the New York Midland railroad, is thus
deacribcd by the Middletovm I*rr*: The
storm was terrific. Crash after crash of
thunder, with blinding lightning, accom
panied by a deluge of rain and hail, fol
lowed them. At one time the train
seemed to be enveloped in a sheet of
electrical fire. A fearful crash preceded
aud instantly the engine was in a volume
of electricity. Halls of fire encircled the
driving wheels as they revolved with
lightning rapidity. Engineer Sandford
beheld the phenomenon with wonder
and awe, and supposing that the end of
all thing* wa* at hand involuntarily shut
off the steam. Nearly every person on
the train experienced a severe shock. A
large tree by the truck was shattered.
The shock lasted but a moment. When
satisfied that nothing hail been injured,
the engineer started the iron horse on
with a loud whistle toward Norwich.
