i "Watchers The Banket Trick.
I Let mo pive you a picture of an Indian
Jupglcr, writes Frank G. Carpenter from
Bombay, India. One stands outside my
hotel window as I write. He is perform
ing his tricks in the dusty road without
a tnble, cabinet, patent boxes, or any of
the accompaniment of the American
wizard. His sole possessions consist of
three small baskets, ranging in size from
half a peck to a bushel, a couple of cloths
and a tripod made of three sticks, each
two feet long and held together by a
string at the top. Three little wooden
dolls with red cloths tied around their
nccl;s and each not over n foot long, are
the gods which enable him to do wonder
ful things, lie has a flute in his mouth
and a little drum iu his hand. He is
black-faced and black-bearded, and
his shirt sleeves are pulled up above
liis elbows. His only assistant is a little
turbancd boy, who sits beside him, whom
he will shortly put into a basket notmoro
than two fect square, and with him will
perform the noted basket trick of India.
This trick is one of the wonderful jug
gling tricks of the world. The boy's
hands are tied and he is put iuto a net,
which is tied over his head and which in
closes his whole body so that he appar
ently cannot move. He is now crowded
into this basket. The lid is put down
and tight straps are buckled over it. Tho
juggler now takes a sword, and with a
few passes of these little Hindoo doll
babies over it and the muttering of in
cantations as a preliminary, thrusts the
sword again and again into the basket.
There is a crying as though some one was
Jn terriblo pain. It is tho voice of a
child, and the sword comes out bloody.
You hold your breath, and did you not
know it to be a trick you would feci like
pouncing upon the man. After a mo
ment the basket becomes still, the jug-
t.l -i r. n; ,y lUUlO pOSSCS, UUUUCH1C9
the straps and shows you that there is
nothing within it. He calls: 'Baba!
babal" and in the distance you hear the
child's voice. How the boy got out of
the basket or escaped being killed by the
Bword and where the blood came from I
do not know. I only know it was a
sleight-of hand performance and wonder
fully well done.
. The mango trick is performed with the
three sticks in the shape of a tripod. The
juggler takes a pot of water and pours it
over a little pot of earth. He then holds
up a mango bulb about the size of a wal
nut, and, putting this into the earth, he
throws a cloth over the tripod. He now
blows upon his horn, makes mysterious
passes, and after a few moments raises the
cloth and you see the mango tree sprout
ing forth from the soil. Wore passes and
more music follow, and the cloth is pulled
down again. After a few momenta, dur
ing which the showing of minor tricks
goes on, ho pulls out the pot, and the
plant has grown about a foot above it.
There is more watering and more incan
tation, and his final triumph comes in
showing you a bush nearly a yard high,
containing great leaves. This he will pull
up by the root and show you the seed at
the bottom. It is a wonderful trick, and
how the man is able to manipulate the
different plants with nothing else but a
thin cotton cloth to help him, which, by
the way, ho allows you to cxamiuc, is
hard to conceive. Ho has a dozen other
aleight-of-haud performances equally
as wonderful. He puts a little shell into
his mouth and appears to choke as he
draws out coin after coin and balls of
stone almost as big around as your fist.
Ho spits fire, as docs the American wiz
ard, pulls miles of string from his stom
och,sticks pins through his tongue without,
hurting himself, and ends tho perform
ance with a snako trick, which is to me
the most wonderful of all.
In doing this snake trick he asks for a
piece of paper and asks you to hold out
your hand. You do so and he places the
paper upon it. He then begins to play
upon his pipe and to dart out his eyes as
though he saw something near your hand.
His whole frame becomes transformed
ho dances around you like a wizard, play
ing all the time an'd keeping his eyes on
your hand. . Now he starts back and
points at it. You look and see nothing
and ho begins to plays louder and dance
wilder than ever. Remember his arms
nro bare to the elbow and both of his
hands are upon his pipe.

ZyCns'"up three great cobras, which
raise their hooded heads and dart out
their fangs in different directions, and
squirm and wriggle as he holds them up
before you. You jump back, for the bite
of the cobra is deadly, and I am told
that the snakes used have in some cases
not had their fangs drawn.
A juggler was killed a week ago in
Benares by the bite of a cobra which he
was using in this way, and they are the
most terrible snakes I have ever seen. At
another performance of this same kind I
was present with a party of four, and we
all decided to ascertain, if we could, how
this trick was done. I stood upon a chair
ami overlooked tho man as he snatched
up the snakes, but I could not see where
they came from, and I only know that he
had them, and that they were so big that
ho crowded them with difficulty into a
little round basket the size of a peck
measure.
Flutes Expecting a Flood.
Virginia, Nev., is full of Piutes men
women and children, who, fearing a de
luge, arc getting out of the valleys. Not
long aio a Piute prophet predicted a
great flood that would drown all this part
of the world. He said the ancients would
rise from their graves and there would
. uu a new iicai on tins comment, in wnica
the red men would be restored to their
old rights and repossess the land. Having
been told of the flood iu tho East and the
drowning of thousands of white men,
they buve got au exaggerated idea of the
disaster and believe that very few whites
remain on that side of the continent.
Their prophet, of course, claims credit for
what has happened, and they next ex
pect a flood to drown tlie whites of the
West. They are laying in a stock of pro
visions with which to flee to the mount
ain tops, and suppose that the whites
will remain in their houses to he drowned
as they did in the Kitst. Virginia (Set.)

If a hen steals a nest somewhere, let
her remain where she is, and not remove
her, provided she is comfortable. Pee
that her nest is sheltered, however, in
case of rains, which may destroy all her
expectations. If there is danger from
'varmints" at night, it is better to re
move her to tho poultry-house, if sho will
remain on a nest; but if not, it is well to
break her from incubation. It is a waste
of time for her to sit if her chicks are to
bo destroyed by rains or animals. Farm

REAKtxa A COLT BY II AND.
A motherless colt may as easily be
reared by hand as a calf, and will learn
to drink from a pail readily. At first a
milk pan may be used for feeding it. A
method of feeding that has been found de
sirable is as follows: Give a two or three
days' old colt one pint of new milk, frcsb
from the cow, with n tnblcspoonful ol
molasses mixed with it, four times a day,
and once daily give c piut of strained oat
meal gruel with an egg mixed in it,
smoothly. A mare's milk is much sweeter
than cow's milk, and the molasses orsomo
sugar is needed. As the colt grows tho
quantity of food is to be gradually in
creased. When two or three weeks old
the colt will eat grass and should be put '
in a pasture. A'tv Tork Timet.
" ICE-WATER A GOOD INSECTICIDE.
Few people realize how good an insec
ticide is ice-cold water applied to plants
with a force pump. It drenches the
leaves, knocking off and chilling the in
sects too small to bo reached in any other
way. It also destroys myriads of insect
eggs. It is noticed by potato growers
that the potato bug is rarely destructive
in a wet season. Now, as tho potato
plant loves water, it might, on a small
scale, be protected from injury, and the
crop be greatly increased by thorough
drenching once or twice a week. This
remedy is a good one for tho rose slug.
Few wish to apply poison to preserve this
beautiful flower, while the whale oil ap
plications often recommended are almost
equally objectionable. Botton Cultivator.
TTHAT ABOUT THE BttOi
That there Bhould be some advance
made in silo knowledge, says John Gould
in the American Agriculturist, is not sur
prising, when some fifteen thousand wide
awake farmers in this country are each
constituting himself as the director of an
experiment station, to find out for him
self how much new can bo chanced upon
and yet score success. The wooden silo
has proved its claims as a superior recep
tacle for the preservation of silage, as it
is not only less costly, but a better non
conductor of heat, and therefore more
easily made frost proof; all of which
means a more uniform temperature for the
silage, and the nearer approach to the
ideal sweet silage. There is some ques
tion about tho walls of tho wooden silo,
whether to have them two boards thick,
with tarred paper between, or of one
thickness of matched lumber thoroughly
painted with hot asphaltum. The one can
be constructed with cheap, cull pino lum
ber, the other must have good, well
matched flooring, or an air tight wall can
not be secured. Some hold that it is yet
better to lath and plaster the interior of
the silo to make it durable. Others insist
that they get even a better wall by paint
ing with hot gas tar, in which some resin
is melted, or the use of tho hard finish
asphaltum paints.
It is settled that perfcet development of
the corn plant is essential to the making
of good silage. Their planting and the
formation of ears are, therefore, insisted
upon, as is also allowing the corn to stand
until the kernels have begun to enter the
glazed condition beforo cutting for the
silo. This fully developed corn, charged
with plant juices, on the verge of ma
turity when put in tho silo, docs not un
dergo tho extrcmo ferment incident to
corn fodder less mature, and only de
velops lactic acid in a mild degree. The
othcrv with its juices less charged with
starch and sugar juices, passes in tho silo
into a more advanced stage of ferment,
that often shows traces of acetic acid. It
is now shown that com had best be al
lowed to stand uncut until wanted, nud
then put iuto the silo without tho usual

to be in any way better or even as good
silage, as unwilted and more mature fod
der. With fodder of proper maturity the
work of silo filling can be "tu. jed" along,
and the necessity of allowing each day's
filling to heat to 125 degrees is obviated.
When the silo is full it is allowed to
stand uncovered for four or even five
days to heat aud throw out the air, when
it is covered and sweet silage can be con
fidently expected. Where there are two
pits, one may bo filled, then tho other.
The first will have settled, when it can
be again filled to the top, and attention
then can be paid to No. 2.
It was demonstrated last year that any
amount of rain upon silage fodder beforo
going into the pits will not injure it or
cause any increase of acidity. Lost fall
thousands of loads of fodder dripping
with rain, went into the pits but the silage
showed no evil effects from it, nor did a
frost near the close of silo rilling work
any noticeable injury to the silage. It
was also found that tramping is not to be
encouraged until after twenty-four hours,
when the silage has begun to wilt. Then
it is only of benefit along tho walls to
assist in making it settle. Many cusos
of silage spoiling along the walls result
from tramping when fresh cut, as it ex
pels the air to an extent which prevents
it from taking on heat and wilting along
the walls as fast as iu the centre. Instead
of keeping the silo about level when
filling, it is better to keep it the highest
along the walls, and thus get an even
distribution of tho grain without the
necessity of keeping a man in tho pit3
all the time.
A cover to the silo, or weights, are
wholly unnecessary. The silos iu this
region that had no covers of any sort did
not show more surface waste of silage
than those covered with paper, boards
and sawdust. Only two or three inches
of silage molded where no surface pro
tection was used. The two or three
inches of white mold made an itii-tij.ht
cover that offered all the protection
needed. Tho silos covered with a foot
of dry straw, well tread dov.u, showed
the least loss of any. Those who covered
closely aud weighted report the great
est loss. There is no more necessity of
weighting a silo than of putting two
hundred pounds per square foot on a pu
taW heap.

Spraying fruit-trees with tho nrsonites
whilo yet in blossom is a serious matter,
according to Professor A. J. Cook. It
is hoped that tho whole press will call at
tention to it, and caution renders against
tho danger. Jlr. J. A. Pearce, Grand
Rapids, Mich., had a fine apiary of fifty
eight colonies this spring, when tho fruit
trees blossomed. A neighbor sprayed
his orchard when in full bloom, whilo
Mr. Pcarce's bees were workimr in
full force. Result : Tho bees aro "seri
ously poisoned; are dying rapidly. Kvcn
two weeks after tho honey was gathered
the workers, drones and brood are still
feeding on the poisoned honey with fatal
effect. Again, let mo urge that no man
ever spray his fruit trees with Paris green
or London purple till nfter tho blossoms
fall. Legislatures should enact laws
making it a crime punishable by line and
imprisonment to do so. If tho honey
stored contains enough poison to kill
bees, may it. not kill people who eat it I
This is a matter demanding speedy edu
cation. Such a law as suggested would
make fruitmeu apt scholars.

The most eminent veterinarian author
ities of the world entirely ignore the ex
istence of any such disease as "hollow
horn" in cattle. The late Charles L.
Flint, in his voluminous and excellent
work on "Dairy Farming," when referring
to the diseases of dairy stock, says:
"Common sense is especially requisite" in
the treatment of stock, and that will very
rarely dictate a resort to bleeding, boring
the horns, cutting off tho tail, and a
thousand other equally absurd practices
too common even within tho memory of
men still living." "Horn oil" and "tail
oil" and "wolf in the tail" and "wolf
teeth" in horses are sometimes mentioned
in the works of our most noted veterina
rians, but ouly for the purpose of ridicule
and to expose ignorance in those who
believe in such imaginary ailments. A
cow with garget, milk fever, or eveu
simple fever may have a dry muzzle, slow,
or an entirely suspended rumination ; tho
horns hot at the base and the tips cold,
and it is these symptoms which ignorant
quack doctors claim as those indicating
hollow horn. Tho animal usually needs
a doso of phvsic, aud not bleeding or
boring of the Lorns. New York Sun.

The following rules for packing apples
are published by an apple dealer for the
benefit of those who supply our market
with this fruit:
Country shippers and packers of apples
should make it a point to pack their fruit
honestly; that is, have the fruit run all
alike through tho barrel. Do not en
deavor to cause deception by placing
good, sound, large fruit on tho top and
bottom of the barrel and fill in the mid
dle with a lot of gnarly, wormy and de
cayed fruit. It docs not pay. The de
ception is easily detected upon investiga
tion, and merchants do not care to have
fraud practiced upon them, or to practice
it on their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should bo
used. Take the barrel, one head out,
nail the hoops, and break off the cuds of
the nails on the inside; place layer or tier
of apples, fair, smooth nnd "bright, as
closely as possible, stems downward, on
tho lower end, then fill up a basket at a
time, throwing out small, wormy, gnarly
aud windfall npples, nnd shaking tho
barrel well after each deposit, until it is
full two inches above the rim; place tho
head squarely on the apples, and with a
screw or lever press force it into placo
and nail securely. . Turnover the barrel
and mark name of apple with red or
Mack lead, or stencil. Bear in mind
that, to be shipped safely, fruit must be
packed tight, to prevent rattling and con
sequent bruising.
Iu shipping npples the first of the sea
son early varieties shippers should see
that openings are cut on the side of the
barrels and also in both ends, to admit of
free circulation of air, which will greatly
help to bring the fruit through in good
condition during tho warm weather.
