SETTIXi HEN'S.
Thtre are no expressions id tb
IlngUst language in the use of which
people maVe more mistakes than in
f fating of sitting hen?, or hens that
fit or desire to sit. These error?
aris from en imperfect knowledge of
tLc use of verba to and Iu set. To
tit, as we all know, is the act of pit
linjr, as in a chair or on a nest ; but
to set is the act of placing a thing in
some place or position, as eggs in a
n'st ; so we ran corrcctlj pay a Bet
ting of eggs. We can also say, I
have pet a hen, because it required
..ill. nr tnn-.e aft cf OUrS tO place LtT
on the oest, as nutting egg in it and
eetting the ben tbcrcon, or she went
upon it voluntarily, by which act be
eet herself unon the eges ; but as soon
as Fit has adjusted herself in the oest
he becomes a pitting hen. We should,
therefore. sv "A ben sits, is sitting.
nr desires to sit." and a setting of
eggs for a hen I am going to set that
wania trt sit : and in no case can we
properly say a setting hen, or a ben
that wants to set, &c.
M A Mi EL Wl R.EL AND CARROTS.
From a paper read before a Dairy
men's Association I extract as fol
lows: J'rom the experiments that I
bare made I am stroDgly inclined to
tLe opinion that for cows the majori
ty of our cheese dairymen and oiler
fnrniers included will Cad tre man-
trcl wurztl the mot valuable cf all
our root crops for cows; and the car
rot the moht valuable for horsc3. If I
mil correct in this op'uion as I really
think I am, the next question that
comes up is: Which is the best way
to cultivate them ? Here let me say,
n;ce for all, that 1 do not believe it
i.niljle to rai.-c a larce cmp f man-
'I wurz;!. parsnips or carrots upon
poor land, or even upon good land
unless thev have at least fair culii
r'i.m. It is possible to eet a fair
crop o! turaips upon land that is on
!r tucdcratelv rich, aad with only in
tiiSf.-rent cultivation ; but even here
ran will find failure much ofieuer
than hucress ; hence let me advise till
not to attempt the growth cf these
-rop.j uuless they are able and wil
iiag to comply with the following
rouJitious, viz: very rich soil, and
that ia good condition, plenty of ma
nure aud thorough cultivation. With
these conditions you may raise not
only large crops, bat very large and
verV profitable ones. This writer is
correct in saying that carrots are
aluublc for horses, and they are al
so valuable for cows. Ow iug to the
fact that mangels eaa be gro'n at
nbout half the expense per bushel
that it eo.-ts to produce carrots, it
may be true that they, as he says, are
the best root crop to grow fir cows.
MONEY JN BLFT.
1 1 is poor policy for farmers to sell
cows thai Uil iu their milk at this
reason of the year, to others who fat
ten them, and make money by the
business. No one can fatten stock
cheaper than farmers can. They
need a good pasture exclusively for
lattcniug catile; that is, enough
tntch pasture should be fenced off to
feed one, two, or as many animals as
cue desires to fatten. I see no good
reason why such etock should not, in
ite aSscnc of other good pasture, be
turned npon mowing land in the full
hen the grass is well grown, so as
to effjrd a pasture adapted to fatten
ing ctttle. I do not think that any
injury would he sustained by thus
msturing mowing lands, unless the
grass should be fed ofT quite short, or
the sward be cut op in wet weather
be the hoofs of the cattle ; and it is
easy to avoid both of these possible
iojunea. As old weather approach
es fattening animals should be fed
meal and root crops; aud by Janu
ary they may be put in good eondi
ti'.in to slaughter. No cows should
be kept on a farm that give but little
r;u!k naturally, as it is Letter to fat
ten them, add buy good ones. A cow
worth f 100 is more profitable than
one worth $."0 only.
L'ltSEASES OF 1'OULTEV.
Diseases in poultry that affect en
tire flocks are always caused by some
thing wrong about their premises. I
claim this to be so, from the fan that
iu breeding fowls extensively for for
ty years I never Lad but two cases of
uisea-'c; and in both cases I discover
ed the cause and remedied it imme
diately. One wa9 a lack of fresh air
in their roosting house, which pro
duced the roup in the whole flock;
and tho other was allowing the fowls
to driuk stagnant water in the yard,
where there was a pile of manure,
which produced a disease that was
fatal to many fowls. The poultry
editor of the Rural New Yorker says:
There Las lately come to my notice
souie cases of severe fcer among
fowls, which proved fatal. Num
bers of the liens died very suddenly
on several farms in the neighborhood.,
1 he birds were in good condition,
w ith crops well filled, but not too
Lard, with food when attacked. The
first symptoms were raopishncss aud
entire suspension of dice.-tioa. There
was no appearance of diarrhea or
cholera. Vet, I believe this disease
is sometimes taken for the Utter on
account of its rapidly fatal character.
The birds were very hot, draak very
lrcqucLtly, aad kept qery still. Many
died ia a few hoars, some the second
day, and others on the third and
fourth day; and after death their
combs turned quite black. In look
ing around the premises to see if there
was any local cauc for the sickness,
I found, in the hot sun, a pool of
foul, thick, stagnant manure water,
that bad settled into the fowls' yard
from a pile of manure close by, af
ter a heavy raia. The fowls were
shot up in the yard and bad fresh
water supplied daily in their drink
ing vessel. But bens will always
drink from any dirty puddle that hap
pens to be in their way ; and under
these circumstances, sickness would
very likely be produced. I bave read
of many cases, similar to this one, j
but tbey were supposed to be chole
ra, and in most instances such stag
nant water was found. This is worth
noting, eo that readers of the Rural
may look out and pre"ent any occur
rence of the kind on their farm, end
thus save their fowls. I did not see
the 6tock in the case I mention, un
til it was too late to save any. Most
of them were already dead ; in all,
seventeen died out of 20.
GRAPE WIXE. "
Properly speaking, nothing is wine
unless it is made of grapes. We
make what we call currant wiue and
also wines from other fruits, but they
are simply drinks, not wine. Many
people who bave grapes enough to
make a few gallons of wine often ask
bow it should be made, and I pro
pose to answer that question as ful
ly as my space will admit that is,
bow it caa be made ia a small war
without a winepress. In tbe first
place obtain your ironbouad cask or!
keg, and never attempt to make less!
tban n re gallons. I tree gallons ofj
grapes inthe buach will make onei
galUw of jaice, called must, or w ith1
the addition of two pounds of sugar j
to a gallon of must, and tbe use of a1
little water in forcing cut the last
prrs-ing of the pomace, two barrels
ip e fc . -
a ia a Mali oi grapes may nuiiice ior
a barrel of wine. I will give rules
for making a barrel
of wine, which will suffice for
smaller quantities. Get an empty
whiskey cask, saw it ia two, and
make two tubs, which clean well. In
to or.e of these put your grapes,
about half full, and mash them w ith
a uiaher which auv mau catt make
in a
few minutes. Whca mahhed
empty the must and pomace into the
other tub, and so continue until all
of your grapes are mashed : but ycu
will require a couple more tubs to
do the work well.
Ycur grapes be-
: 11 ,t.,l , nr tL- linir
made of stout open ruuslia, ia which
vou nut as much pomace as can be
easily pressed out, and with a piece
of stout board about fifteen inches
wide, laid upon an empty tub, with
strips nailed at each end of the board
to prevent any of the juice running
over on the floor (an airy cellar is
the place to make the wiae) you lay
the bag upon the board, and pres3 it
with your hands, or make a ievcr S
or 10 feet long, and Lave a place for
the end of the lever to be set iu or un
der, so that you get a good purchase
on the bag, which 6liould have a
small piece of ooard upon it for the
lever to rest oo, and then bear down
with your full strength, and you will
seethe must running out rapidly; then
turn the bag frequently and you wil1
soon find the pomace quite dry, and
so proceed tiil all is pressed.
You now have nearly a barrel of
pomace that still contains considera
ble juice. Tour two pails fall of well
water iipoa it, and let it Eland six
hours, and then pres-s it aguiu, as be
fore, and your wine is ready to re
ceive the sugar (to pounds to the
(rallon)of any good quality. Now
G!l vour ca.sk, which should be a well
S09ked whiskey barrel, or what is
better, an iron-bound wine ca?-k. Tut
in a fa'uect now, as it is troublesome
to put one in atter the ca.-k is filled.
If 3-9U can obtain a key faucet, I ad
vise vou to do so, as enc d cs not ul
wavsknow how attractive wiae is to
hired telp. Put the cask ia the cool
est part of your ct-llar, raised so as
to allow tho wine to be drawa easily,
and C!l it to withiu about six inches
of the bung, and keeping in a jug or
demijohn enough must to Gil tl.e ca.-k
when fermentation ceases, whith will
be in about a month. The bung may
be put in, aad an air hole made with
a gimblct. This giii.blet LjIo may
be c':0?cd at the end of three weeks
with aspike, which should be remov
ed once a day till no air escapes on
he removal. Then fill up thecal
and bung it tight. Fulfill syphons
arc used sometimes to allow the com
pressed air to escape, with one end
ia a vessel of water, by which no
outside air reaches the wine.
Wine made by wine companies, or
individuals, La large quantities oa the
most scientific principles, aud from
grapes that naturally contain consid
erable akhohol, do "not require any
sugar to make them keep; but all
snob wines are less palatable to tLe
taste of our rural families than those
that are home-made with sugar. In
deed, our ladies would a soon drink
a glass of poor, oi l, cider, as a glass j
. i
of Araeiioan wine as made in Ohio;
and California by professional winej
makers. I consider it a rerr difficult 1
thing to take grapes as they are found
in our gardenR, with none as tested
wine grapes of vaiue, and make per
fectly puro wine nothing but the
pure juice of the grape and Lave it
keep well in ordinary cellars over the
first 6ummer season ; but it caa ue
done with good wine grapes by an
experienced home-made wine maker,
by taking only the most perfect, and
fully ripe fruit.
There is another way of making
wine. All grape juiee contains a
certain per centage of alcohol ez-(
actly such spirits as are sold as al
chohol in the drug stores; and when
people drink what they call purej
wines they imbibe witb it from tea to
twelve per cent, of spirits of wine,
alcohol. Now, if we use more wa
ter in our last pressing of the pomace
and not a drop should be used in
pure wines and add soy a half pint
of pure spirits (alcohol of the
strength of whiskey) to a gallon of
must, with the usual quantity of su
gar, we can make a barrel of wine
with about two barrels of grapes,
that is equal in quality to that other
wise made; and a great deal better
than some other sale wines. I.ut
many persons will object to making
snch wine, because it contains liquor,
but it only c intains si per cent, more
liquor than the wine that is supposed
to be pure; and it only differs from
sueb wine in the dejrrce of alcohol
spirit that it contains. It takes gen
(rally about nine months f t t cask
of home-made wine to fine itself, and
become properly dear, when it will
ne ready lor use, but tne older it is
the better it is. In the following
Mav after the wine is made, a second
fermentation takes place in a flight
degree ; and the wine does not be
come fuMv lined (clear) till June or

A CATlIi'l.K' Si'AXIUL.
The little town of Yineland, near
the city, is greatly exercised over the
development of a transaction that
recently occurred in tho catholic
church at that place. A man named
(.Jregory, a worthless sort of a fellow
who had more than half forsaken his
church, was at the point of death.
His wife, a devout catholic, begged
the priest to shrive the dying mau,
which he refused to do on the score
that he was not ft good ca'.hol:c, and
was not entitled to abfolution. Mrs.
Gregory imploicd, and finally after
many interviews the priest did go
and confess Lim and gave him abso
lution. Priest Yiver was indiscreet
enough aftenvurd to say that, he now
had means enough to pay 01T the debt
on his church, as a valuable piece of
land in Newark had bscn devised to
him ; acd Mr:', (jregorv, now that
h'-r husband was safely through
pur-
gatory, dro
hiuts that it had
cost jer more tnau sue iiieu 10 11

on foot and it was made known that

priest, besides giving Lini i0 ia

made niuoh feeling in Yineland, and
has created a bitter feeling agalost
the church thore.

Congressman Adrian iul!er, of the
First District ia this city, cad a
vacancy at West Point to fill, and to
avoid the respoasibilily of making a
selection, adreriised that a competi
tive examination would be held, and
the boy making the b;st average
would be appointed. Probably Mr.
Mulier would cot Lave done this bad
be had tho fintet iJea of the result,
for behold you, a "nigger" named
Charles A. Minnie, cani-3 oiii ahead,
and Mailer was compelled to appoint
him. There were an hundred
applicants, bat Minnie had a clrar
majority of points, end there was no
mistake about it. There is loud
s wearing among the Democracy of
the First, at the "dirthy nagur" who
had the audacity to stand first among
the yf 11 h of that district. Jul n Mor-
rissey is astute enough to turn this
little draught of gall to advantage, j
There is a very large negro vote in
that district, and the gallant John no
sconer hears of it, than he sends his
cheque for $i00 to Minnie, with
whicb he may provide hinjscif with a
a proper outfit. Thi3 ia a s'urowd
stroke. It will be a convenient thing
for John to have at bia back in future
political contests some hundreds of
the negroes of that fetion, for they
are looming into political importance
every day, and even the enmity of
Irish cannot keep them out. Minnie
is a very bright boy ; be has been
more than two-thirds educated at
home, and has done the most of it
himself. In the examination the
maximum was an hundred, and Le
stood ninety-nine and a half. He
understands fully what is before him

to go through it like a man, and do

Tlf'X. There is no more competition in
telegraphing, aud the public is as
entirely at tbe mercy 01 a mocop iy
as it was before the Atlantic and
Pacific was started to give us relief
from the monstrous exactions of the
Western Union. With a healthy
competition rates had got down to a
poiut that enabled the people to use
the telegraph freely. A message
from New York to Chicago cly cost
twenty-five cents, aad rate3 f r shorter
distances were evea lower. This
did not satisfy the grasping uuaagers
aad so this week tl.ey got together
and consolidated the two companies,
and up go the rates just as far as the
patience of an abused public will
permit. It will result in tbe Gov
ernment taking the telegraph system
of the country under its wing at
least it ought to. The people are
idiots if theylperiuit a company of
grasping speculators to hold in iu
band tbe power to oppres? them.
The rate from New York to Chicago
will go up to a dollar again, aad so
on in proportion. Of course that. lit
tle Mepbistopbiles, Jay Gould, is at
the bottom of this, as he is of all the
deviltry that is being doue. If every j
man, woman and ciiud ia tbe I nited
Mates doesn't petition Congress to
take the telegraph lines, and operate
tbeni as it does the mail system
service, they will deserve all the
swindles that can be imposed upon
them. And, by tbe way, while tbey
are about it, tbey ought to take a
dig at tbe express business. There
ia no reason under bearen wDy small
parcels should not bo carruj through
the mails, at a very low rate cf post
age. The express business ia aa mis
erable a monopoly as the telegraph,
and needs reforming as muob. To
get a dress from Roston to Oaiaha
costs almost as much as the dress,
and to some points a great deal more!
There is no reason why the mails
should not be used for ihe transpor,
tation of certain matter; if the peo

On s hunting excursion in India,
the first year of my resldenoe there
(said an English officer, whom I met
on my last trip to Havana), I wit
nessed a sight that I shall never for-
get. Our partr was large and well
appointed; but after beating about
awhile, I got tired, and getting down
from my hiqh post on the elephant.
where I did not feel at home, strayed
off with one companion in search of
some Liinyr epert, taking care to fol
low a track on which I pouid easily
ream the party. We had gone toil
ing through the jungle for an hour or
more, when I was startled by a low
growl, that sent every drop of blood
coursing tnrougn my veins t a sec
ond told me that some large animal
lay in the thicket before me. Capt.
Allen was at a little distaoe, and
calling to bini to loi.dc out, bounded
to tbe G.-ht tree. I never waa a climb
er, and was now heavily booted and
spurred, but In a trice I was well up
and paused to look.
Allen was imitating my example,
and, feeling bolder, I drew my pistol
and discharged it in tbe moving mass
of leaves. A magniScient Bengal
tiger made one spring from his lair,
aud as tbe nihil light through tbe
branches Decked his skin, it shone
like burnished gold. With a terrible
mar, his rail lashing bis sides, he
looked around for bis assailants. You
may well imagine how closely each
of un clung to his bough, and sought
protection from tne leafy covering,
fearful that a swayinjr in tbe wind
would reveal us to the angry lord of
the wilderness. But our blood con
cealed, as, in a marshy spot between

up in spires, forming a distance of
nearly three yarda in diameter. At

Irishman, and obtained moro money
and cold victuals by his wit than by
hard labor. In fact, he was deter
mined to make this country what he
bad been told it was before be came
over the water, a place where a man
could live aisy.
It happened one day that Mike,
who bad strayed np into the country,
was anxious to reach a railroad de
pot. Ilia legs were weary, and
though he bad partaken of a sub
stantial breakfast from the well
spread table of a hospitable farmer.the
idea of traveling sixteen miles before
nightfall, bad little charms for a lazy
fellow like Mike.
Mike bad traveled about a half
mile when be observed a large band
bill posted 00 a certain sign post;
though not much of a scholar be man
aged after spelling the bard worda to
read as follows
Stole.v : A man calling himself
William Clafflin, hired of the tub
Ecriber a gray horse and Concord
built wagon for the purpose of going
to Keystone and return the same
day, but has not been beard of since.
Said Claftiin was a small man, pock
marked with a scar under bis eye.
"That's me," said Mike, "ban-in'
the scar, and that's easy made."
lie jogged along to the tavern, en
tering with a downcast look and took
a seat before the fire.
Ia a few minutes be heard a whis
pering among tho inmates, and 1th
that his prospect of a ride was uot
so bad aa it might be.
Soon the landlord entered aud af
ter whispering a few minutes, tapped
Mike on the shoulder and said :
"Where ia your horse, my good fel
low V
"Horse," said Mike looking up.
"Yea the horse you hired."
"Sure an' the owner baa him. You
wouldn't accuse an honest Irishman
of the like of me stealing a horse,
would you
"You may look like an honest man,
but don't you see that's au ex ici de
scription of you V
'An' whil duiis 1 hat uy, ure ?"
"That you htole a hoise and wa
gon." "Is it me you mane V
"Certainly."
"Take me out of this, by the bless
ed St. Patrick," and Mike was mak
ing fast for the door, when the land
lord stepped btfore Lim.
"So you dou't", said he tukiug
Mike by the cellar.
Mike began to shed tears, and
tried to stifteu the heart of the )andr
lord.
"An' 6uro you wouldn't be the
manes of puttiu' a poor fellow to pris
on. Let me go now, aud I'll never
darken tbe doors of your bou.e agaiu,
as sure as my name's "
'What?' asked the landlord.
"An wbat'a tiu naie ye read, on
the paper J"
"It's no matterI'm fcure ht's thu
chap," said the landlord ; "don't you
tbiuk 80 ?" addressing himself to the
crowd who bad gathered in tbe bar
room. "Yes," was the response.
In less than half an hour the laud
lord's team was at the door, aud Mike
was ordered to get in.
"Sure, you'll give me a drop of the
creathure," 6aid Mike, "afore ye take
me out into the cold weather."
"Yes, said the landlord, ordering
hia boy to set out the decanter
"Here's to the health of ve," said
Mike, and may the blessed Virgin
purteot ye, aa4 svo ye from ever b
in' in my sltlvatlon.1'
The liquor was drank ami Mike
and the landlord started off for the
towq from whicb the home bad been
stolen.
During the first part of tbe Jour
ney, Mike was exceedingly taciturn,
and the landlord waa not disposed to
disturb his meditations. Ibev Lad
proceeded some half dizen miles
when Mike asked :
"And what will you get for this
job, mister ?"
"Twenty-five dol'ars, perhaps" re
plied the landlord.
"bure an' ye'il make better busi
ness of it than mvself, if ve get that."
I guess so," replied tbe land
lord.
Mike relapsed into silence, and af
ter an hour's ride they halted in front
of a stable and tbe landlord sung out
to tbe proprietor:
'Here's tne fellow that stole your
wagon."
This brought out the stablekeeper
and tbe hostlers, and tbe former bav
ing thrown Mike's head back so as to
get a fair view of bia face and said
"That isu't the mac."

tonishp4 landlord
An didn't I tell vou so," said
Mike, "but it's myself that's abliged
to ye fur takm' me Lore, an' savin'
me the trouble of a weary journey on
foot. An' now," turning to tbe stable-
keeper, "if ye'll tell me tbe way to
the railroad, it is Mike Mahouy that
will be quick out of a country where
hones; men are oncivily treated."
Tbe road was pointed out to him
and he trudged olf at a lively pace,
while tbe landlord, deliberately turn
ing bis team around departed mid a
shout of laughter, inwardly resolved
never to arrest a roan for horse steal
ing again.

WAsarxoroN, August 21. A let
ter was received at the Secret Service
Division of the Treasury to-day,
inclosing certain pieces ot clothing
taken from the person of a man who
was found murdered in the woods
near Unstonville, Kentucky. The
letter ia from a Deputy Marshal, who
was under the impression that the
murdered man was an officer of the
Secret Servico Division and bad been
assassinated by counterfeiters, and
the clothing wts sent here for the
identification or the deceased. J he
Chief ot the Division here, however;
says that it was not an officer of hia
division who was thus found. Ilia
theory is that it was a party who ap
nroaehed the counterfeiters with a
genuine intention of dealing with
them, and who was suspected of be
ing a detective officer, and after being
decoved into a private place for tne
purpose of making a trade with the
"boney men," was tnen siuea uy
members of a desperate gang of coun
terfeiters in Kentucky, who, though
few in number, have yet given the
Government much trouble.
