BARBAROUS STATE ON THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. Its Condition in a Standing Ontrago to Clvlllratioti Hnrrlblo Mta cros by I'cnialo Warrior. The excessive and almost linpsrnllelcd barbarities daily practised in tho KiiiR dom of Dahomey nre now enframing tho crions nttention of the European powers, and the different associations for the sup pression of slavery, in view of bringing to nn end a state of things which is a standing outrage to humanity and civil ization, llahomev, as wo all know, i situated on the northwest coast of Africa, not far from the Niger. It hns this dis tinctive character, that it may he consid ered as inhabited by an army rather than by a nation. The source of its revenue is neither agriculture nor any kind of in dustry, but proceeds absolutely from a trntlic in slaves. Ia the centre ot this territory stands a town, Abomcy, where the King, surrounded by his army, re sides, nnd tyranni7.es over 100 000 slaves. Abomcy is eight miles in circumference, aud is encircled by a ditch five feet deep, from which springs up in one continuous line th? thick row of thorny acacias, which arc its only for tification. It is entered by six gates, profusely studded with human skulls, blackened by the heat of tho sun. There is no stream within the city, water being obtained from ponds some distance off; but the ordinary beverage of the inhabi tants is rum; and, in the barbaric orgies in which they indulge, the blood of their victims is mixed with it. The leader is simply a crul hunter of men. At stated periods he sallies forth at the head of his army, which knowns not where it is, be ing led. Ho alone is aware of its desti nation; he alone has decided as to which tribe shall be massacred or made captive and brought into bondage. Silently, at break of day, these demons pounce down on some unoffensive slumbering Africans and slaughter them in hundreds as they rush, terror-striken, out of their huts. Old people nre invariably killed, infants arc trampled to death and young men and women nro made prisoners and bru tally yoked together in chains, being doomed to a life of slavery or to become the victims of human sacrifice in a man ner too terrible to relate. Such nre the principal characteristic pursuits of this ferocious leader and his army of blood thirsty savages. And what a unique and strange army it is, composed partly of meu and partly of women. Travelers do not ngree us to the exact proportions of this heterogene ous force. Some say there nre 12,000 men nnd 8000 women ; others speak ol 12,000 men and 5000 amazons. How ever thnt may be, it is admitted that these nniazons are the elite of the army. Thej set the example of a barbaric, unrelent ing intrepidity. They are noted for theii savuge instincts; n thirst for human blood and the love of carnage has taken the place in their hearts of those tender feel ings which aro pertinent to feminine na ture. "We arc men," they say, "wo arc not women." The costume of the women i3 strictly correct, and not devoid of a certain ele gance. Their hair is confined in a kind of white net; they wear a corset, close fitting, but which leaves the action of the arms quite free; also a skirt made of some blue, red, or yellow cotton stuff, which reaches down to their insteps, aud also t wide white band round their waists, and the ends of which hang down their left sides. They are armed with rifle nnd sa bre; nnd particular mention is made of kind of scythe with which are armed those among them who aro designated ai the "mowing amazons." It is a for midable weapon, and in view of its pur pose is said by travelers who have sect it to produce a most disagreeable feel ing. The men's costume is composed ol a tunic, looso trousers and a hemlet. Having completed their work of devasta tion and plunder, not forgetting to set fire to the ill-fntcd villages through which they pass, this invading horde, head ed by their contingent of amazons, flushed with the intoxicating effects of the carnage in which they have taken a leadiug part retraces its steps toward Abomey, dragging in its traiu an entire tribe of helpless and unsophisticated Africans, for the purpose of supplying tho slave trade. It will be easily under stood how terrible must be the apprehen sions of neighboring peaceful tribes it view of this constantly recurring dangei to which they may be subject at any mo ment, entailing, as it often docs, un limited massacre, lasting sometimes over a period of three months. The inhab itants of Abomcy h:.ve a sort of fetish like religion ; but they have no recog nized form of belief. They offer the sacrifice to the boa, which their priests, styled feticheros, fed within the limits of a veuerated shrine. They also wor ship the leopard, and, strange us it may uppear, the tiger is free to roam at wih through the subjected villages, any at tempt to kill it being punishable by tint and severer penalties. The caimuu, which is equally revered at Abomcy, is not considered quite in the light of an idol. The real divinity of this pagan territory is not personified. The inhab itants sacrifice to superstition anil fear; and they oiler up in conciliation to imaginary enemies the physical suffer ings of their victims. Surrounding thee shrines, uud suspended in mid-ail are hundreds of corpse, which would infallibly engender uu epidemic, wen- it not for the voracity nf the murd'Touj birds of prey which feed on tii!-::i and soon pick the bones quite c'.e.i:i. They are the sanitary inspectors of Dahomey, aud never has hygienic service been morn eilicicntly pcifunii.il. Lml Olvbj.

THE FARM A!0) GARDEN. TIIE BEfIT FATTENINU RATION. In those sections whore sweet potato arc grown easily, the uso of small pota-J toes for poultry will mnko an excellent ration fcr fattening poultry intended for! market. Choked potatoes thickened with corn meal will put more flesh on a hen in the shortest time than any other food known. In Inct, any kind of food rich in sugar will fatten stock or poultry quickly, and there is nothing superior to sweet potatoes for that purpose. Such food, however, is not suitable for laying hens, as wit's them fat is detrimental to laying. TOO PKW KVT TltEES. The country needs more nut trees; thry are easily grown from seed ; and generally it Is best to drop the teed where it is de sired thut the tree shall grow, rather than to attempt transplanting. As seedlings vary in quality and other particulars just as is the case with fruit-trees generally and as it is always desirable to havo tho best, hardiest and most prolific sort, graft ing or budding is advisable. AVe have succeeded best with budding in tho enso of tho chestuut and wnlnut, but Profes sor Uudd siiys thnt tho trouble in grafting these or the hickories is that tho ciou is apt to dry before any union can be formed. To prevent this, he slips a little water proof cap of oiled paper over each graft when set, as he does with cherry and plum grafts (which require to be set early). As there are varieties of the Knglish wnlnut nnd the pecan which aro hardy and fruitful as far north as the lakes, we tnav hope to add these fine nutj to the fruit supply of thousands of home, where they vill bo greatly appreciated.

AVhcn one does not wish to make a hot bed, early tomato plants may bo had by sowing the seed in rich earth, put in to shallow boxes nnd kept moist. Tho boxes may be suspeuded on the inside of a kitchen window, where they will be protected from cold and get the suu. I have practised this for tomatoes nnd sometimes also for lettuce, transplanting into the open ground as soon as the weather would ndmit. The warm at mosphere and mciiturc of a kitchen push them forwnrd vcrv ranidlv, and where only a few enrly plants are wanted they can be obtained in this way with but lit tle trouble. It is better to transplant the tomato plants, when large enough, into a cold frame or some sheltered position, so thnt they may grow more stocky before ttiey are finally set out where they nro to stand. Transplanting into small pots is also nn excellent way, as these can be ex posed to the sun when the weather is favorable nnd be covered up or taken iu sidc when there is danger of frost. The potted plants have the advantage over others that they can be transplanted into the garden without at nil checking their growth. Xew York li'orfif. IDLE HOUSES OX THE FARM. The problem what to do with farm horses during the five months' lull in farm work, admits of several possible so lutions. They enn bo hired out to do outeide hauling, but this is seldom satis factory, ns tho "wear and tear" of tho animals is liable to offset the expense of feeding them in idleness. Or contract hauling may be undertaken; but this is apt to bo overdone, nnd the return to farm work too long delayed. Common stock may bo sold, but they go slow dur ing the lull in farm work, und then it takes a man who is "up to snuff'' or has 'cut his eye teeth," to manage this traf fic without loss. Horse traders, like poets, are born, not made. One man can profitably deal in hoiverlesh under ulmost any circumstances, while another, his su perior in every other particular, would bankrupt himself in short order by a similar undertaking. Therefore neither of these solutions will ncswer for gen eral adoption. A better plan would be, to raise first-class stock. Tho mutket for good horses lasts all tho year, and they are a staple product, ready for the market, nnd the market is always ready for them. Raise good horses aud keep them in good condition, nnd when thJ rush of work is over take them to the! market and sell judiciously. Then, wheU the necessity rolls round, buy what horso power the farm needs aud let the work go on. Farm and Jliineh. A LESS AREA. In order to realize a profit wheu prices are low the cost must be reduced. 1:1 many cases this can be done by reducing the area. Plant a less acreage, but re-' ceivo a larger yield. This is one very im portant item in reducing the cost with quite a number of crops. In utteuiptiug to farm or work too large nn area the work of preparing the land, planting, seeding aud cultivating the crop U not done in a thorough manner or in good season, aud in consequence the yield i light and the profit small. As a general rule a light yield iudicutes a higher cosl than a good crop. It is possible, ol course, to go to tho other extreme und increase the cost to such un extent that the profit is reduced. Hut in the major ity of cases there is less risk of giving too much work than not euough. With cultivated crops, especially, n little more work in thoroughly prepari -j; the soil before plautiug the seed, aud :l more thorough cultivation afterward nill pay well. Often two more cultivations would have udded materially to the growth aud yield if given in good season, and it would have added but a smull amount to the cost. In cultivating more hind than can be managed well, tiiero is often less opportunity for doiug thorough work than when everything is crowding, and it is often tho case that ten ucres given good treatment from the start wilf yield a larger profit than fifteen poorly! treated. It is easy to attempt too much,; and any one that has been accustomed tJ skimming over will be hard to convince that more profit can be derived from ui less uercuge. In e.ddition to the lessened profit inat-i tempting t cultivate too much ground id the wearing out of fertility, lietter seed' to grubs uud let grow up in weeds niu' plow under a portion of the farm than tc attempt to farm where thorough work cannot bo done. The available plant food in the soil at least will not be wasted, but if a green crop of any kind can be plowed under it will add to the fertility and aid to secure larger yields next year. Farm, Field and Stixkmun. POU.TRV Vfc.KTlI.IZEH. IV.it ing cold winter is tthi u it is pos bibii to secure tho largest quantity of this' fertilizer, as the poultry must be confined a considerable portion of tliB time. With a little oaro in gathering up and storing away properly, bo that Ita most valuable properties will ho retained, a considerabo quantity of valuable fertil izer, especially for tho garden and small fruits, may be secured. It is very necessary for tho health nnd comfort of tho fowls to kot-p their quar ters clean, and if this Is dono tho drop pings should bn gathered up every few days and bo stored where they will keep dry. Dry dirt or sifted coal nshes are the best materials to use as an absorbent, although when these cannot bo had con veniently, ctit-strnw can be mnio to an swer. Coarse litter should not be used, if tho largest benefit from tho manure is desired. Old boxes or bnrrels can bo utilized for storing awny. It should bo kept dry, and if this is dono, will bo in good condition to apply by spring. If properly cared for it can bo easily fined, aud in this condition can bo thoroughly incorporated with the soil. With small fruits and with nil garden plants thnt aro planted sufficiently far apart to render it economical, tho better plan is to apply in tho hill, taking pains to incorporate well with the soil before sowing the iced or setting out the plants. With the smull garden plants, or those grown closer together, like onions, let tuce or radishes, a good plan is to pro pare the soil in a good tilth, ready to sow the seed, and then scatter the fertil izer evenly over tho surface; and then with a good steel garden-rake work well into tho surface. This will place it where it cau bo reached by tho roots ol tho plants. As it is a very concentrated fertilizer, a small quantity will answer for each plant, when applied in tho hill ; and as it can bo readily lined, it should be stored carefully and used in tho spring in the garden. It is well worth taking considerable pains to save and apply. I'rairie Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It is n poor practice to lot cattle help themselves nt the haystack. Put your pear orchard on high ground, and it will not bo likely to bo troubled with the scab. Keeping matches in any other recepta cle than uu iron or tin box is tempting Providence. Some people think a farm animal is like a postage-stamp no good until licked. They aro eadly mistaken. A successful dairyman must bo a far mer and must raise most of tho food con sumed, says a prominent Vermont dairy man. All animals nre benefited by a change of food occasionally, and every one is in jured that is allowed to staud on a cold, wet floor. Terracing on lands inclined to wash or shed water too rapidly is superseding tho old style of hillsido ditching with many Southern farmers. ! Have a place in which to deposit what ever will burn. A shallow trench ol j proper size should bo mado to hold the 'ashes. When a burning has been made cover the trench with boards to prevent the ashes from blowing away. By caro in gathering the rubbish a supply may be secured wJHiout delay. Drawing manure and plncing in heaps to be spread in tho spring is a positively wasteful process. A good farmer will not bo guilty of such gross mismanage ment. The iuveution of tho manure spreader certainly offers no more excuses 'on this score. A manure spreader is au almost indispensable factor in progressive agriculture. Milk set in milk pans in a pantry nt a temperature of sixty to sixty-five degrees will raise more cream ami butter thnn milk set in cooler pails at a temperature of fifty-six degress. Milk to which fifty per cent, water has been added, will raise more cream when set nt fifty-tivc de grees than the same to which uo watei has been udded. An American Colony.

I), finds himself, beforo his sheep-skin is fairly in his hands, considering tho desirability of the "throat and lungs" or the "cyo and oar," or somo other equally profitable combination of disorders. Tho result is that tho "family doctor" of tho old timo, who attended a family from birth to death nnd who was tho repository of all it woes nnd weaknesses, is no longer a real existence. And tho average wcll doctorcd mortal who wishes to be reason ably careful of his health finds himself strangely divided up nmong hnlf a dozen specialists. To one ho intrusts the caro of his eyes, to another his throat, to a third his digestion, to a fourth his nerves, nnd, if it plcne heaven to alllict him with more disorders than these, ho finds a "specialist"' waiting down tho road to welcome each one. No doubt thcro is a good healthy reason at the bottom of nil this and real benefit to bo derived therefrom. No doubt tho marvelous strides of medical scienco within tho Inst fifty years havo made the necessity for the specialist, but it touches ono's sense of tho comic to have tho experienco of a young woman who wished not long ago to consult Dr. Smith, n cyo nnd ear specialist. She went to a largo building given up to the use of physicians. You mistake, madam," said tho first physician to whom sho presented her self.
