DANGERS OF THE PEEP. LIABILITY OF VESSELS RUNNING INTO OCEAN DERELICTS. Many Abandoned VpispIs Drifting About on I bo Atlantic A Naval 1orollot A Hi Hnoy at Iartrq. A derelict, writes Lieutenant I'nilcr wooil, of tho I'nitcd Statoi Navy, in tho Arffim'tut, is anything that has been forsaken or abandoned, ami, as applied to the sea, it is a vessel that has been abandoned by her crew, and left float ing on tho ocean. l)erclicts nro much more plentiful than a casual observer would lninifino. icsides vciscls sunk near tho coast in FUlliciontly shallow water to make their protruding masts dangerous to parsing ships, there were, on an average, seven teen floating derelicts in the North At lantic reported to the Ilydrographic ollico for each month of the year 1Sm. A larger number of them was sighted in the late fall, winter, and early spring than during the other seasons of the year, no doubt because there were then more dangerous storms on tho ocean. Some of theso derelicts drift around, month after month, at the will of the wind and current, and nie reported time after time by passing vessels. Tho most interesting wrec'; that has b-cn reported for years is doubtless that of tho derelict schooner Twenty ono Friends. Phe was abandoned on March 24, lyM, about ono hundred and seven teen miles cast of (.'ape Henry, i'cmg lumber-laden, she continued to float. Her masts were carried away close to tho deck, so thatthcro was but little surfaco exposed to the wind, and her progress was alin03t entirely due to tho current of tho gulf stream. Her track across tho Atlantic was directly in the route of tho European steamers, by whom she wai sighted many limes, and whoso captains doubtless grew to regard her as worso than twenty-one enemies I Tho last re port received placed her about seventy miles north of dps Ortega!, !pain, on December 4, lt,"). Hie was probably towed into some port by tho Bay of liis cay fishermen, who must have regarded her as a rich find. Turing her long cruise, she covered some threo thouaud three hundred miles, which made an average of about four hundred and twenty-five miles of progress each month. The bark Rowland Hill was abandoned on February 27, and last reported on November 12, lt8ii; the derelict schoon er Ida Francis zigzagged between Uer muda and the coast of Florida for nine months; tho schooner Levin S. Jlelson was wrecked on February 27, about ono hundred and fifty miles east of 1'apo Hatteras and was last reported on October ltiSti, about two hundred and fifty miles south of Cape Uace, New foundland. F.ach of these vessels was lumber laden; each has drifted hundreds of miles and been reported many times, and ono or all may be sighted again. A number of similar cases could bo given where derelicts have been reported month after month, in the highways of commerce. Fogs and icebergs are encountered only at a particular period of tho year, and within certain limits of the ocean, but derelicts are liable to be met any where or at any time. A ship striking one of these water logged wrecks would bo apt to sustair about as much damage as if she ran upon a rock. An inhospitable coast is known at night by its lights, tho presence of icebergs by the chill of tho water in their vicinity; but during darkness or fogs there is nothing to indicate tho presenco of a derelict. Sometimes, when it is found necessary to abandou a vessel, her Captain is thoughtful enough to set her on fire. Sometimes, if the sea bo smooth aud tho weather favorable, a Captain, on meet ing one of theso derelicts, will lower a boat and send some of his crew to fire her, but this is also a rare occurrence. Heports are occasionally received of ships injured by striking wrecks,, anil no doubt some of those, that have left port, and never bect heard from after ward, have becn.Us't in ju-t this way. l'crhnns thd most novel derelict on records-was that of the great raft which it wits attempted to tow round from the Canadian cuast to New York soma months ago. The attempt failed, ami the great mass of logs was left to float about directly iu tho path of vessels coining into New York. Fortunately, tho raft was speedily broken up, and tho logs were scattered, and no serious casualty is known to have occurred from collisions with them. A word on the subject of buoys which have gone adrift may not be amiss, Wh le most buoys are small and iusig nilii ant, a few are large and heavy, and might do considerable damage to a th;p if run into at full speed. Thero is a small number of lighted, whittling buoys, at important points on our coast. Thee are of mammoth eize, and act as beacons, and, at the same timo, they give warning by tho nois- they make. The whistle is automatic, and is sounded twenty or thirty times a minute by the action of the sea. There is a chamber into which gas is forced, and it is lighted by means of a leus lantern at the top of th3 buoy. Ol course tho gas must bo replenished at regular intervals. One of these enormous buoys was driven from its moorings otf Cape Iluttcras, in December, 1SS"i, and, after taking an involuntary journey of about twelve hundred miles, it was, on tho twenty fifth of the following Alay.captured and towed into Uermuda by an Kuglish kteamer. It was in good condition, but evidences of its loug trip were found in the largo barnacles adhering to it. When it started on this cruise the gas w.is soon exhausted, causing the l;ght to become extinguished, but doubtless the whistlu continued to pipe lustily with every risu aud full of the sea. Imagine the dismay of some supersti tions mariner, whose ears should b( greeted by a half -doen violent whoop; in the small hours of the night, when L comfortably believed that uo object wai within miles of his ship. Facts About Ilutter. A New York dealer who knows whereof he speaks taid to a Mail ami A. Vfim reporter: " The annual product ol butter iu the United Ijtates is not le-s than J, OUO, 000,00(1 pounds per annum. It is generally admitted that oue-half of the butter produced is artificially colored. If this be so, aud if natural high colored butter is valued at rive rents more per pouud than tho uncolored urticle, it fol lows that the public pay no less than f 2."i,0(i0,000 per annum for an artificial color, believing it in most cases to bu a natural color aud an indication of supe rior quality, for which they receive uo equivalent. It is also true that if one pouud of color, which consists of un nutto color, dissolved in cutt-m seed oil, is required for luoi) pounds of butter, there must be not less than half a uitlliou pounds of spurious butter added to tun product of the country iu the shape of cotton seed oil."

Itpmpfljr for Wlro Worm Tho common wiro worm is not readily destroyed by caustics or other nppl ca tions spread upon tho land. 1 hese worms will live for hours in a saturated solution of salt, nlso in a caustic limo mobtenrd with water; and it is not nt all probable that a hundred buhe!s per acic of cither would seriously disturb the worms feeding six inclic below the sur face. As we cannot readily destroy the I worms, wo should seek to make tho grain p. anted or sown distasteful by soaking it in poisons or some strong-scented so lution, or even coating it w ith such of fensive substances as coal tar. The latter has been ucd for this purpose quite extensively, and withexccllent re sults. A teacupfiil of soft tar is sufficient to coat a bushel of seed corn, and then byaddirga few handfuls of dry soil or wood ashes the giain is prevented from sticking together or to the hands when planted. Crows will not pull up tarred corn, and there arc few insects or woiins that wiil molest it. Xmo York Sun. Fitting Itonon Tor Fertilizer. Strong lye will rapidly disorganmo bones, says a professor iu a Michigan college, especially if boiled in the lye; tho ossein or organic matter of bone is rapidly dissolved and they 1 ccomo brit tle. If wood ashes cannot be got in sullicient quantity, bones may be titled for uso as lcrtiliers by breaking into coarso fragments with a hammer and then boiling them with a mixture of iil toila, cnii'tic, lime and water. The or dinary carbonate of soda or sal-soda ought not to cost more than three or four cents a pound when purchased in quantity, three pounds of sal-soda and two pounds of cnust c lime boiled up in two gallons of w ater will niuko a solu tion that will rapidly act on broken bones when boiled with them. When 1he bones ate well softened and brittle, the whole mass may be mixed with eight or ten times its volume of dry muck, or turf mould and thoroughly mixed, when a valuable manure will bo secured. The potash of woodashes, moreover, is more valuable as manure than soda. Some Friends of the Farmer. In concluding a recent bulletin from the ew .Jersey Agricultural Kxperinieut Station, llcv. Ueorge 1). llulst, Fnto mologist, says: It may also bo an advan tage to point out some of tho friends of the farmer, which, consequenntly, no farmer should destroy, or allow to lodc sttoyed. Among these nro toads, which are, under all circumstances, the farm er's lriend: moles arid field mice, proba bly, do a vast deal more of good than harm; all birds, especially robins, wrens, thrushes, orioles, cuckoos, phebes, blue birds, woodpecker, swallows and cat birds. Tho destruction of all theso and many others, except for scientific purposes, should be made, under very heavy penalties, illegal in every State. The house sparrow, known better as tho Fnglish sparrow, is to be rated an ex ception. This bird is now universally regarded as a nuisance, first, because of it-t grain and vegetable destroying pro pensities; secondly, it drives away in sect destroying birds. Among insects, many wasps are friends, especially thosd with a more or less protruding horn oi sting nt tho end of the abdomen. Lady bugs and Ince w ing Hies live entirely upon destructive insects, especially plant lice and scale insects, and should ncvei be destroyed. Dragon Hies, or devil's darning needles, are also useful au harmless. HomovlnR Forest Trees. Tho following method of removing forest trees is recommended in th Prairie Farmer, which says: "It is novel and probably bottei adapted to tho South than tho North, though there are so:i.e trees probably that it might answer for here. There are few trees more ornamental than some, of those from our fores s, w heu planted in open ground and properly cared f it and pruned. Thero is always more oi less loss connected with transplanting theso trees, which has kept many from nutting them out, but Hon. Mr. liielby has adopted a method of moving trees that does away with a good deal of risk and loss. On his place, two miles north of De Land, he has planted a :ow of magnolias, holly, oak aud other trees which nro doing well and certainly recommend his plan. In the case of holly and magnolia he dug up trees that weie from four to six inches in diameter, and sawed them off at the crown. By doing this a great many more can bo carried at ono time aud much moro easily handled. The stumps are planted in tho usuil way and a stake put up to mark the place. Iu a short time several shoots appearand these are allowed to grow for u while and then all but the most shapely and thrifty nre cut otf. Mr. Jlielby claims that the tree thus planted makes a much more thrifty growth, and places its shape under control aud is much more satisfactory every way. Try it." Preserving Fggs. Although there are dozens of methods for preserving eggs, yet but few of them are worthy of notice. Limed eggs have been alnu st unsalable this year, aud thu limo method will soon be discarded. We give below a few ru'e3 that will enable our readers to preserve eg'js in a good condition for at least three mouths, though eggs have been kept as long as six m inths by tho process. 1. Always uso fresh eggs, and do not rely on those from your neighbor. You ! must know tiiut every egg is fresh, as I one stale egg may in lire all. 2. I'se eggs only from hens not in company w.th cocks, as such coirs will keep three times as long as thoso con taining germs of chicks. o. hei-p them iu a cool place tho cooler the better. Anywhere near 40 degrees above zero will answer, though CO degrees will be cool enough for a few months. Only be careful that eggs do not free e. 4. Turn them half over three times a week, to prevent them from adhering to the ihells. The turning of tho eggs is very important, and is one of the secrets of kuecess. necessary, .ri. No Ducking material is Sininlv lav thein on rucks or tl,lv..- -i i 't t i-i i , i though if preferred they may be packed in uoxes, in ury cats, una tlie boxes turned 0. Solutions, greasing the ejigs. egg preserving preparations, etc., are un necessary, as s line of them injure the ap peaiance of the eggs. If the above rules ure followed there will be no diiTcrenco between the eggs so preserved and those that are fresh. ISO person can succeed iu preserving eggs who buys them from all sources, and who does uot know just when every egg was laid, and it is o i that point so inauy failures occur. You cannot placo any dependence ou egjs except from your owu hens. Lvcu your neighbor is omctime3 unublo to prevent getting a stale egg in among the fresh ones. Never uso stale eggs as lust eggs, or allow sit ting hens to be in a room with your lay. ers. The great ed care should bo exer cised, and tho eggs kept ulways cool, farm and l)rteiU, W. C. T. U.
