FARM, (UKDFN AND IlOUSEnOLD
Farm Crop eftfce United States.
The price of corn in this country is
governed entirely by the quantity pro
duced end the ooosnmption, the quantity
exported being too small in proportion
to tne enormous amount raised to eier
(186 an influenofl on the price; therefore
tU crop of 1878, whioh exceeded the
immense one of 1877 the largest, ever
mined in the United States brought
the figures much lower than those of
last year. The lowest State averages,
according to the special report issned by
the agricultural department at Wash
ington, are in Iowa and Nebraska, both
of whioh States increased their products
largely too great for home consumption
and too remote from leading markets
bringing the price down to about one
half that of 1876. The States showing
the highest average price are the Gulf
States, from Georgia to Texas, where
the consumption fully equals the crop,
and where the prices are little less than
those of lost season.
In the case of wheat, the price is
greatly influenced by the European de
mand. The average price of the in
creased crop of 1877, stimulated by the
war in Europe, was $1.08; bat for the
year 1878, with an addition of upward of
50,000 000 bushels, the price had full en
to seventy-eight cents per bushel on
December 1st, 1878.
The great value of the cotton crop is
also fonnded on the demand for export.
Statistics show that in 1878 we had
regained the position held prior to 1861,
and that four-fifths of the cotton nsed
and manufactured in Great Britain come
from the United States. The DroDor
tion of the total crop exported to foreign
parts was 8,340,000 bales, out of a
crop of 4,750,000 bales during the year
ending September 1, 1878. Basing the
calculation on the prices returned by the
produoer, the value of the croD for 1878
is given at $194 .700,000, while the num
ber of bales is 6,200,000, the average for
the whole oountry being about 8J cents
per pound.
The price of tobacoo is low this year,
the average crop being 5.6 cents per
pound on December 1. This price is
mainly due to the result of an overstock
of poor tobacoo last year. The quality
now on hand is generally better and
heavier, making a yield per acre more
than that of the former season, except
ing in Kentucky, where it fell off slightly.
The total crop of 1878 is estimated at
893,000,000 pounds (worth 822,000,000)
against 490,000,000 pounds the year
before.
The price of potatoes has not advanced
yet to the relative proportion that price
bears to production. With a crop almost
identical with that of 1876 the prioe is
much lower per bushel ; while the crop
is some 46,000,000 bushels less than last
year the total value does not equal that
of the excessive yield of 1877 ; the
product for 1878 being 124,027,000
bushels, at 58.8 cents per bushel the
total value being $72,000,000. New

Treating Unproductive Land.
On many farms there are patches of
land that are so unproductive that it
does not pay to plant them with any
kind of cultivated crop. They may pro
duce some grass, but soarcely enough
to compensate the cost of cutting it. In
many cases the land does not earn
enough to ke9p the fences around it in
repair. Sometimes these spots are un
productive on account of being covered
with stones, but in a larger nnmber of
cases the surface soil has been washed
away, leaving little or nothing but hard
pan, or clay or gravel. Land that is sit
uated on side hills is liable to be badly
washed as soon as the turf over it is
broken. If it has been planted with
tobacco or corn for a number of years it
is the more likely to have the surface
soil washed away.
L'".ud of this description can only be
made productive by " heroic treatment. "
It requires the formation of a new soil.
To this end it must be broken np to as
great a depth as can be reached by a
subsoil plow. In England, France and
some of the Eastern states, dynamite
has been reported to as a means of
breaking np the clay or pan that is tco
hard to be easily pulverized with a plow.
Blasting enables the frost to carry on its
work of disintegration. It albo enables
water and air to circulate among the
broken masses of eirth. Brush fires
render good service in making this sort
of lund fertile. The addition of lime is
reoommended, as it acts to produce de
composition. Hard day that has been
broken is mechanically benefited by the
a Idition of sand, peat, chip-manure, or
even saw dust and shavings. Of course
the ordinary fertilizers will be required
to insure a crop.
The first crops should be turned un
der. Bye, millet and buckwheat are all
suitable for this purpose. It is practi
cal to raise and turn under two crops a
year. The first crop to raise with a view
to gain should be red clover, the roots of
which penetrate to a loug distance. Land
too rocky to be plowed should ordinari
ly be set ont with fruit or timber trees.
The labor of preparing a spot of land of
sufficient size for a tree is not great, and
only a small number of tree are required
for on acre. Trees may also be planted
to good advantage on unproductive land
that is not stony by breaking up and
subduing the soil in the places where
they are to stand. A little manure goes
a long way when applied to trees plant
ed twenty or thirty feet apart. Many of
the best orchards in New England were
planted on land too rocky to be plowed
and too unproductive to produce a crop
of grain. Chicago 'Jimet.

Importance of a Clean Skin.
Most of our invalids are such, and mil
lions of more healthy people will become
invalids, for the want of paying the most
ordinary ' attention to the requirements
of the skin. The membrane is too often
regarded as a covering only instead of a
complicated piece of machinery, scarcely
second in its texture and sensitiveness
to the ear and eye. Many treat it with
as little reference to its proper funotions
as if it were nothing bettor than a bag
for their bones. It is this inoonsidera
tion for the skin that is the cause of a
very large proportion of the diseases of
the world. Jf as claimed by some scien
tists, four-fifths, in the bulk, of all we
eat and drink, must either pass off
throngh the skin or be turned bark upon
the system as a poison, and that life de
pends as much npon these exhalations
through the skin as npon inhaling pure
air through the lungs, it must be of the
most vital importance to keep the chan

Mnlchlnc.
This subject enlisted consideration at
the late fruit-growers' meeting. There
appeared to be no division of sentiment
as to its advisibility, though we know
that all persons do not favor it. For
ourselves, we have resorted to it as long
as we have had a garden, and are snre
that there is great benefit in it. Patting
grasB. manure, weeds, sawdust, or
pliojjle rubbish of almost any kind
aronnd a newly-planted tree secures a
prolonged moisture and more uniformity
of temperature. But this mulching
should be removed every three or fonr
weeks, ana the soil underneath well
stirred, and fresh mulohing applied.
This way it is of decided benefit, and
will save the life, or at least secure the
health, of many a tree. Mnlching also
promotes the growth of tomatoes, egg
plants, beans, peas, eto. With regard
to peas it should be applied thickly, as
it will tend to cool the ground, and the
cooler the ground the higher the flavor
of this delicious vegetable will be. Some
of the members of the meeting said they
had mnlohed acres and fonnd it

Hanging and Whipping Afghans.
A London Standard letter from the
seat of war in Afghanistan desoribes the
punishment inflioted npon some native
prisoners, as follow: Between the sol
diers hundreds of natives could be seen
squatting patiently for the proceedings
to commence, and it was curious to no
tice here and there Afghans with their
long black hair, sitting quietly among
the crowd ol Hindoos. A party of. Iow
oaBte Hindoos were busy digging a large.
square hole cIobc to the gallows. Every
body understood its use. To the right
the men ot the Hussars were quietly ex
ercising their horses, and the fields
above them were dotted with soldiers
belonging to the Ninety-second High
landers, who were quite content to see
the execution from a distance. At
eleven o'clock a company of the Twen
ty-first marched down to the gallows
with six prisoners in their midst.
Two were to be lashed and four to be
hanged. The four condemned men
were singled out and led to the front.
Their dress consisted only of a long,
blue cotton shirt and loose pygamas
tied in at the ankles, in two of the in
stances the shirts were a mass of rags
frayed into ribbons at the edges, and
holding wonderfully together. None of
them wore sandals or head dresses.
There they stood staring curiously
around them with their let hair bang
ing over their faces and their hands
strapped behind their backs, and all
looking thoroughly desperate ruffians.
The provost-marehal, a stout-built ser
geant of the Tenth Hussars, showed
each man his plank and made him walk
across it. This all the men did without
much compulsion. They did not appear
to realize what was about to happen to
them, and kept looking over their
shoulders to see what was going on.
Tueir legs were strapped together.
What appeared to be their old bine pug
garees or turbans were tied over their
laces, and the nooses were fixed round
their necks. Then they appeared to
realize what was coming, and all com
menced crying ont prayers to Allah.
While they were doing this one of the
prisoners who was standing behind wait
ng for his flogging shouted ont to them
that they were never to mind; he would
bo left alive and he would avenge their
deaths. All eyes, were turned toward
him, but only 'for a second, as the scene
being enacted in front was of more ab
sorbing interest. Four European sail
ors caught up ropes attached to the
planking, a signal was given, and they
pulled at the same moment, sweeping
way the scaffold and launching the
prisoners into the air. Bnt it was only
lor a second that the condemned men
hung. The cross beam creaked and
broke with a startling crash, and the
four men fell to the ground hanging,
naif restisg their feet upon the earth.
Scarcely had any person time to feel
Horrified at this unfortunate accident,
before the provost-marshal drew his re
volver and sent a bullet through each
man's brain. One of the Afghans was
then stripped naked and tied up to one
of the poles of the gallows. A stalwart
hussar gave him a dozen and a half
lashes as warmly as his arm oonld lay
on, then another hussar completed the
three dozen. The fellow grinned con
siderably, but bore the flogging marvel
ously. He never uttered a groan the
whole time he was reoeiving his punish
ment. One of the hussars threw his
clothes at him and told him roughly to
salaam. This the man did not under
stand. It was a grim joke at the best.
He quietly put on his clothes they
were bnt rags and coolly atked if he
might go. He was told that the next
time he was caught with a loaded rifle
near a British camp he would not get
off so easily, and then he was marched
across the river by two armed Sikhs,
who gave him a parting push with right
good will. The other man who was to
have been flogged was marched back to
camp in custody.
How Many States Haug Murderers 1
Four States of this Union have un
conditionally abolished capital punish
ment, viz. : Miohigan (in 1846), Rhode
Island (in 1851). Wisconsin (in 1853)
and Maine (in 1876). The following
States have the " option jury law: In
diana, 1862: New York. 1862: Illinois.
1867; Minnesota, 1868; Iowa, 1878, and
Louisiana many years ago. In these
States there is no capital punishment
unless the jury unanimously recommend
that penalty; hence there are bnt few
exeontions in these States. Of the
above States Iowa totally abolished that
penalty in 1872, but modified that law
in 1878 as mentioned. The following
States have the " governor's option "
law, viz.: New Hampshire, Vermont
and Kansas. In these States the crimi
nal is sent to the State prison for one
year (Vermont two years) prior to exe
cution, when he may be executed on the
warrant of the governor, it being op
tional with the governor whether he
shall, or shall not, issue the warrant.

FOB THE FAIR SEX,
RprlnH Rennets.
The first Importations of French bon
nets show the large Clarissa Harlowe
shapeB, with brims that flare above the
forehead, and are tied down closely at
the sides, bnt also small bonnets with
olose brims like those popularly worn
during the winter. The so crowns
now worn in caps and turbans of velvet
or RBtin are so muoh liked that they
have been produced in chip and straw
bonnets. Thrse uve close fronts and
arc apt to be trimmed in Alsacian style
with a large bow on top. Thero are
also soft crowns of satin, either plain or
striped, or else of damASse silk in Per
sian patterns, nsed with chip brims.
FanchonB, or three-cornered half hand
kerohiefs of white satin embroidered in
colors, and edged with Breton lace, are
also nsed on the crowns ot chip bonnets.
A peculiar novelty sent over from the
best French milliners is the wine-colored
chip tor the entire bonnet, or else braids
of wine-color alternating with white
chip in rows on the entire bonnet. A
great deal of wine-colored satin ribbon
is used for trimming the ecru chips that
will be worn earlv in the spring, and
this is often combined with cream-oclor.
The bonnets with flaring brims have no
face trimming, bnt ore lined with shir
red eatin of a becoming color. A wreath
of foliaee or of grasses in the new roseau
or reed-green shades passes around the
crown, and satin ribbon of the same
green shade is passed plainly over the
crown, tving down the sides, and is
knotted nnder the chin for strings,
Sometimes this reed-green satin ribbon
is pale pink on the opposite side, or else
faience-blue, or it may be the new cream
tint called Satsuma. Pink with bine in
Pompadour combinations is also seen in
the new ribbons, and there is much gar
net with ecru. The satins for millinery
are the soft qualities spoken of in Mad
ame Raymond's letters as the foulard
finished satins. India muslin edged
with Breton lace trims some of the finest
Frenoh chips. The brim has a wi le
shirred binding of the India muslin that
shews at least an inch in breadth both
inside and out, while beyond this, inside
the brim, is a bandeau of velvet either
black or bottle-green. The top of the
crown has a soft orimped white ostrich
plume held by some veined leaves of
dark green velvet. The strings of
donble India muslin, edged with plaited
Breton lace, cross the crown, droop on
the back, and are fastened under the
chin. In direct contrast to this is the
dress bonnet of black Spanish lace made
of a broad barbe more than a fourth of
a yard wide, which is tied in a large
Alsacian bow on top, passes down the
sides, and is tied nnder the chin ; some
green foliage made of transparent crape
in roseau shades is placed on the sides,
and a chased arabesque ring of gold
holds the Alsacian bow in place. On
plain chip bonnets are many very small
pipings of satin placed inside the brims,
while others have silk with cords
stitch ed in on the outside.
The round hats for dressy wear at
summer resorts are very picturesque,
Some of these are made of white China
crape, with the broad brim turned up
directly above the forehead, and filled
in with crushed rose3 or artemisias in
pale ecru and pink shades ; two large
white ostrich plumes cover the crown
Brood-brimmed Leghorn hats have each
side caught down with square bows of
cream-colored satin ribbon, and a bou
quet of field flowers. Gray chip round
hats have high brigand crowns, and the
brim is turned np on the left sido.
Persian damask Bilk is tied like a hand
kerchief aronnd the crown. The black
chip round hats for city use are of Eng
lish shapes, end in the style known last
year as equestrienne. Some of these
are trimmed with brocaded gauze in
colors, and others with black satin
striped ganze. Ornaments are shown
in imitation of silver set with brilliants
tl at glitter like diamonds ; these form
anchors, daggers, crowns, buckles, tri
dents, arrows, darts, with many dragons,

Flowers are used in very great profnf

shout with which the colonel brought ns
together, In an opening sosroe twenty
yards square lay a dying bull. He was
of prodigious girth, and covered head
and shoulders with a coat of sunburnt
hair to shame a lion. Long, tangled
locks, matted with mnd and burrs,
swathed his forelegs down to the hoofs.
The ponderous head of the brute rested
helplessly upon the rotten trunk of a

bloody lips; his eyes were dim, and his
breath came and went in mighty gasps.

of rest, in search of better pastures, he
pushed southward again, lingering in

Something Worth Knowing,
Every little while, writes a corres
pondent, we read in the papers of some
one who has stuck a rusty nail in his
foot, or knees, or hand, or some other
portion of his person, and that lockjaw
has resulted therefrom, of whioh the pa
tient died. If every person in the
world was aware of a perfect remedy for
all such wounds, and would apply it,
then all such reports must cease. Bnt
although we can give the remedy, we
cannot enforce its application. Some
will not employ it because they think
it too simple ; others will have no faith
in it when they read it ; while others
often think snoh a wound of small ac
count, and not worth fussing over, un
til it is too late to do any good. Yet all
such wounds can be healed without the
fatal consequences whioh follow them
The remedy is simple, almost always on
hand, and can be applied by any one ;
and what is better, it is infallible. It is
simply to smoke the wound, or any
bruise or wound that is in named, wit h
burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take
the pain out of the worst wound, and
repeated once or twice, it will allay the
worst case of inflammation arising from
a wound we ever saw. People may sneer
at the " old man's remedy " as much as
they please, but when they are affiioted

The Knave Bible.
About two centuries ago an idea
partly originated by Fnller was our-
rent that in some rare editions the apos
tle Paul designated himself " Paul, a
knave of Jesns Christ." No snoh Bible
really existed ; and the duke of Lander
dale, the well-known Scotch viceroy of
Charles It., having in vain endeavored
to procure one, it ooourred to Thornton,
a worthless fellow by all account, that
he conld, by a little ingenuity, gratify
his grace and serve himself at the same
time. He got a Matthews Bible, dated
MDXXXVIL, and by oareful manipu
lation he erased the XVII., thus leaving
the date 1620 instead of 1637 fiftem
years earlier than the oldest
English Bible extant, that of the Cover
dale. Not content with this daring im
position, he in a similar manner rubbed
out the word "servaunte," in Rjmans
L 1, and substituted "kneawe," made
np of letters cut from other parts of the

Lauderdale was apparently pleased with
his unique bibliographical treasure, and
had his arms and coronet stamped on
both sides. How the forgery was dis
covered is not mentioned ; bnt Dr.
Eadle remarks that a volume, said to be
the identical copy, was sold at a book
sale in London in 1866. Henoe its being
sometimes called the " Knave Bible,"
which designation, in more senses than
one, it certainly deserved. Chambers'

A Safe Gompanion.
This is a trying season for invalids,
particularly those Buffering or liable to
suffer from Biliousness, Sidney Com
plaints and Constipation of the Bowels,
arid to women subject to the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to their sex,
Indications of sickness should at once
be attended to. Fatal disease may be
cansed by allowing the bevels to become
constipated, and the system remain in a
disordered condition. An ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure, is an
old and truthful saying. Therefore we
advise all who are troubled with com
plaints now so common indigestion,
disordered liver, waut of appetite, con
stipation of the bowels and a feverish
st te of the skin, to take without delay
Dr. Kennedy s FAVORITE REMEDY,
It only costs one dollar a bottle. Posi
tively there is no medioine so harmless
and yet so decisive in its action, Peo
pie leaving borne at this season of the
year should not fail to take a bottle of
this medicine with them. It has an al
most instantaneous effect, relieving the
person of headache in a few minutes
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of eur
rounding bile; and this excellent medi
cine is for sale by all onr druggists.
SWhen inquiring of your druggist
for this new medicine, avoid MISTAKES
by remembering the name, Dr. David
Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY, and
the PRICE, which is only ONE DOL-
LAR a bottle, and that tho Dr.'s address
is Roiidcut, N. Y.-E)
