THR REDNESS OF lll'RNED SOIL.
All soil contains more or ISs iron.
And wheu new land is cleared the ground
under the lu heaps is oiten quite red
from tho iron contained in it, and which
has been oxidized by the burning. There
are cases in which burned earth is used
as manure with benefit, and the reason is
that the burning oxidizes some of the in
soluble earthy matter and renders it
available for plant food. Generally these
burned patches contain so much potash
as to kill vegetation, and keep barren for
years until the potnh has been washed
out by the rains. If tho burned soil is
spread over the land and fresh soil put
in its place, these unsightly spots on new
land would be prevented. New York
Times.
BIOHT WAY TO KILL BUSHES.
The nccient superstition that bushes
may be killed in August never dies,
writes Arguside. A neighbor, an old
roan, has cut tbe sprouts in the old pas
ture every year during my decsdo of
neighborship, and now tbe roots arc
more firmly fixed than ever. He will
leave the job to his children and they to
theirs, and the pasture will grow worse
all the time. My way is to tear them
out of the ground by force of a pair of
cattle or steady horses. I have a strong
grab hook with three claws, which is put
into the root, and when the pull comes,
any root that holds is severed by one
blow of an axe, and the thing is done.
An overgrown field that came into my
possession is now being cleared at a cost
of $2. 50 per acre; it would cost nearly
as much to grub it in the usual way by
cutting in August and leaving tho living
roots to uain equal strength the next
year. When the old field is plowed
next spring I can put the plow eight
inches deep, and make a thorough job of
it. New York Tribune.
cnowiNo HENS.
As soon ns a hen begins to crow,
writes Jlrs. A. E. C. Maskcll, she be
comes of no further use gets quarrel
some, ceases to lay, and struts around a
laughing-stock for everybody. One tried
to crow and lay too, but the eggs shj
merely dropped where she was walking;
they were colt-shelled at that, some of
them shaped most curiously; one of them
looked like a gourd with a crooked
handle. Some poultry people think crow
ing might never occur if good roosters
were kept and the hens fed with shell
producing food. Lime and ground-up
oyster or clam shells should be kepi
within easy access; feeding pounded
eggshells might teach them to eat their
own eggs. Soft-shelled eggs are rarely
found iu the nest, but arc dropped
around in the hen-roosts at night. A
lady in Jersey found an egg with too
much shell; inside tbe first was another
smaller but perfectly-formed egg, shell
and all, containing the yolk and white,
while the outer shell was filled with
white alone eurrrouuding the inner
shell.
At this time of year if liens are well-
fed with cooked food and kept warm and
comfortable they will soon lay; aud it U
the chickens hatched out in February
and march that prove so profitable, lily
mother thought her hens laid better fed
on wheat screenings, but alsD fed out to
them potato and turnip parings, together
with scraps from the table, boiled up
and thickened with coarse cornmeal,
which she gave smoking hot. Of course
a hen must be kept comfortable if she is
expected to lay in winter and when so
kept how uer looks show it! How ncr
eyes glisten. How crimson her comb.
How smooth and glossy her plumage.
Be sure she is infested with no vermin,
especially the large, white head louse,
which saps all her strength, feeding
about her head, under her ears and
around her throat. Catch the "var
mint" and kill it if you can; if not,
grease her on the head and around the
throat with fculphur and lard. Cleanli
ness aveits mauy of tbe diseases that
make such fatal ravages in the poultry
vard. New York Tribune.
BUTTERMILK.
From different parts of the world
come the common praise of buttermilk
as a beverage In tact it is becoming
quite a fad all over the world to driuk
buttermilk. The physicians recommend
it, while its price is adjusted to the
finances of the most unweAlthy. In all
hot climates it is drunk at meats and be
tween meals, while now tbe northern
cities of the United States have numerous
wagons and stands along the street where
buttermilk is sold by the glass, often as
low as three cents a pint. Tbe material
that goes by this name, however, is not
what iu warm climates would be called
the genuine article. There are several
grades of buttermilk. Tho real, rich
article comes from the churn that bus
but half done its duty and thereby left
little lumps of butter and any quantity
of cream globules in tho buttermilk. To
this is sometimes addod a third of a
glass of rich cream. This makes a truly
delicious drink.. The next grade of but
termilk is the pure article, but taken
from the churn that lias done its duty
nud got out all of the butter fat from the
cream. Wheu it is fresh it is very
palatable, with a chunk of ice in it on
a hot day in summer. This is the geu
uiue articlo of the farm, and makes a
good di ink iu the buy field or while at
other hard work on the farm. The last
Aud worst quality of buttcuilk is the
article usually sold in large cities, where
the inhabitants do not know a butterfly
from a bumble bee, and are in no sense
experts on cow products. 1 his third
class article is uothiug but old sour
milk or clabbered uiijk worked awhile in
the cnuru to thorourrlny mix it. J ins
Article sella. leatulv ou jthe lttiyandjiuor bobbin is done away witu. fc .
restaurants for three ccnta a glass on hot
days. When sufficiently cold to numb
the sense of taste it is a good drink,
harmless and wholesome, and by somo
people, not exactly cranks but peculiar,
it is though to be good.
There is one point in selling butter
milk at which wo wish to draw tho line,
and that is selling colored buttermilk.
Wc have known tirst-class establishments
do this, and it is a great mistake, because
there certainly is a bad tasto about it.
This color comes from the annato used in
coloring tho butter, which always, we
believe, gives a red Jish tinge to the but
termilk. While this sign gives assur
ance that the articlo is genuine butter
milk, that is all tho virtuo it has.

FAItM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The best layers matte poor mothers.
Small hen turkeys bring the best prices
at this season.
Professor IUiley says that tomatoes do
not mix in the fields.
Feather pu'ling is largely the result of
idleness with the hens.
Too much corn and too cold quarters
will often be the cause of no eggs.
The best way of feeding oats is to scald
well and let thorn itund over night.
Liusecd meal added to the skim milk
makes a good ration for calves or pigs.
The willow, elm, poplar or locust
should never be planted close to wells
or drains.
In winter hens must have materials
supplied to them to make egg shells, as
well as materials to fill them.
When tho hens appear droopy it is a
good indication that they are suffering
from lice, indigestion or colds.
Ducks will begin laying when about
six months old, but, as a rule, tbe eggs
should not be used for hatching.
Keep the chickens in the broods grow
ing rapidly by supplying them with a
good variety of food and feeding regu
larly. Look out for scnly legs. These are
caused by an insect that gets under the
scales. A bathing with keroaono and
milk, or rubbing with korosene and lard,
will cure in a few days.
If after the action of subsequent frosts
the ground iu tho orchard is harrowel
fine and a top dressing of manure put on,
we may consider th'.it we have nearly
done our part to secure a fruit crop.
A good lock on the henhouse door,
carefully fastened nights, often has good
effect in increasing the profits of poultry
keeping. It prevents tho other people
from rasing so many off the roosts.
Henry A. Dreer says that Alphonse
Bouvier, one of the new cannas, is a
vigorous plant, but of dwarf habit. The
foliage is deep green and the flowers are
very large and of an intense crimson hue.
The French tigered and spotted and
some other good strains of fioxinias come,
true from seed. OeSance, scarlet and
Emperor Frederick, azuro blue with
white throat, are both fine varieties that
come true from seed.
Felch estimates that one bushel of
corn or its equivalent in other flesh
growing foods will produce nine to elev
en pounds of live weight iu poultry,
and one has only to weigh his fowls to
approximate their food cost, for cost of
care must be added.
A good mutton sheep will always have
a good fleece, but thoso that make tho
most and the best wool are not always
the best mutton. But to get either at
its best reqires such feeding as will
keep up a steady growth, and the moro
rapid the better the result.
Feather eating among chickens can
often be prevented by putting a small
quantity of salt iu their soft feed, enough
to give a moderately salty taste. Three
heaping tablespoon fuls of common salt
for one hundred kens is not too much
every day. This should bo tried.
Thero is good common sense in the
injunction to increase the feed gradually
when preparing a cow for a test. A
month is not too long for preparation.
If too rapid increase is made, it is almost
certain to cause indigestion, of which
the least bad effect is waste of food.
It is quite an item in purchasing an
incubator to get one that is, in a manner,
self-regulatiug. Being obliged to open
the drafts to reduce the temperature will
not answer. When the temperature gets
too low the flames of the lump must be
controlled by the heat in the incuba
tor. When it is time to take the pigs away
from tho sow, stop giving sloppy food
nnd roots, that her milk may dry up. It
is better to begin this as soon as the pigs
have learned to drink milk at the
trough. They should have a trough so
arranged that the sow canuot get to it,
aud should be given sweet milk, milk
warm at first.
Oar National Statue of Liberty.
The bronze Statue of Liberty which
has crowned the dome of the Capitol
Building at Washington for the past
tweuty-uine years is nineteen feet six
iucbehigh and weighs 14.9S5 pounds.
The figure was cjst in five sections, the
heaviest being 4710 pounds weight.
The statue was all completed except the
headpiece prior to December 2, 1863, the

Crawford, who designed tho figure, sub
mitted bis model adorned with a "liberty

of War, objected to such a head-cover-iug,
sajing that the old Phrygian
emblem was a relic of a degraded people.
The Secretary's objections were sus
tained aud the well-kuowu Iudiau head

niKD O A BKKR-KKd.
One of the recent pathetic incident Con
liected with intemperance in New York City
Was the dnntu of nu old limn in tattered gar
mentK, with one of his feet bare, and wearing
neither hat nor coat. He was found on a
recent cold morning, dead, sitting on a beer
keg. Mauy had passed him sitting in that
portion, when a policeman trie.l to arouse
the unconscious figure and discovered that
hewasdead. What a pitiable end, indeed,
for an old nan to citno to, brought to it
through the degrading agency of strong
drink. How different, indeed, would hare
been his life and death could he have been
pledged in early youth to total abstinence

TBK MOVKMKM' IX SCOTLAND,
In a review of the progivss of the tem

Reformer finds cause for gratification to
every true-hearted friend of the reform.
The activities of temperance work have been
felt iu every direction, and especially in

of public opinion against, the liquor dealer,
due to persistent prohibitory teaching and a
realisation of the injury an I loss caused by
the traffic. The hopes of the great temper

THK RUM CCRSK IX AFRICA.
The United States Consul at Sierra Leone,
Hon. B. Bowser, iu a recent letter to a citi
aen of Hartford, t'onn., referring to the
ravages of the liquor tin flic in Africa,
writes:
I am not a missionary, nor the son of one,

OKNF.liAL SCOTT AND TKMPERANCK.
General Scott was in command at Rock
Island when the cholera broke out there.
aud, after various injunctions in this enter
as to robriety and cleanliness, be added this
curious paragraph, wbioii was recently
printed in the Magau&e of American
History; ' In addition to the foregoing, the
senior surgeon prevent recommends tbe use
of nannel unuerc.lun?, and woolen stock
ings; but the commanding general, who has
seen much of disease, knows that it is in
temperance which, in the present state of
the atmosphere, venerates and spreads tbe
calamity, ana mat wnen once spread, good
and temperate men are likely to take the in
fection.
"He, therefore, peremptorily commands
that every soldier or ranper who shall be
found drunk or sensibly intoxicated after
tbe publication or this order be compelled,
soon as his strength will permit, to dii;
grave at a suitable buryiug-place, large
enough for bis own reception, as such grave
cannot ran soon to be wanted lor tue drunken
man himself or some druuken companion.
This order is given as well to serve tor the
puuishment of drunkenness as to spare good
and temperate men the labor of digging

The Knslo of Natnre.
The bass of thunder is considerably
lower than tho lowest sound produced in
an orchestra below tho ero of music,
wo may call It, nt which nil positive ap
prehension of musical sound ceases, and
our senses ate merely conscious of a roaf.
In observing thp music of thundcf, our
attention, however, may be moat profit
ably directed to tho expression rather
than to tho notes. The musical dim
inuendo is more perfectly represented by
thunder than by any other form of sound
in nnture. After tho first clnp ii over,
tho car will pursue with pleasure tho
lolling away and cradual fainting of (ha
peal, until at immeasurable distance it
sinks into silence.
Tho melody of rain dancing on tho
stones, or pelting down in its first drops
on the dry soil of a forest or a hearth, is
species of sound which the art of music
has yet to imitate, If it would complete
its at present very incomplcto list of m
truiiicnts. The Mexicans lind lorno
rattles mado of very peculiar clay, with
pipes inside, which wro intended to rep
resent this sound. Certain tribes of tho
North American Indians have becuslmi-
arly fascinated by the loud plash of
wnter, to ll o beauty of which wo havo
alluded before. They hnve instruments
constructed accordingly with a view to
to reproduce this round. Largo buffalo
hides are filled with water nnd sown up
a the manner of wine baas. Drum
sticks of cork, or with their heads env-
rtd by a very fine gum, arc wielded by
tho player, and the gentle and monoto
nous plnsh of water is produced by tho
drumstick striking softly on tho skin.
Tho natives will sit and listen to theso
nstrumcnls for hours.
Certain tribes on tho Amazon havo in a
similar way been fascinated by the music
of the waterfall. Musical instruments
wcro found iu use among them consist-
ii g of a complicated mechanism by
which wnter was poured from ono bowl
into another, in imitation of tho cascade,
and then returned by the receiving bowl
into the vessel which had poured it; so
that by a repetition of this mechanism a
constant murmur of a cascade could be
kept up so long as the audience desired
or tho player was able to perform it.

Mr. Albert Hartley of Hudson,
N. C, was taken with Pneumonia.
His brother had just died from it.
When he found his doctor could not
rally him he took one bottle of Ger
man Syrup and came out sound and
well. Mr. S. B. Gardiner, Clerk
with Druggist J. E. Barr, Aurora,
Texas, prevented a bad attack of
pneumonia by taking German Syrup
in time. He was in the business
and knew the danger. He used the
great remedy Boschee's German
Syrup for lung diseases. (

Kind Sir:- I had been trouble! for
yors with that tcrriblo disease Klieuma- .
tism and last Spring, a year ago, I was
confined to my bed and could tamely mom
or lir. Coultl not beat to have any one
walk across the room or make any nolarr
of any kind. Was also troublod with
Fcmnlo Weakness nml was completely
vied up. 1 had doctored with tho best
Physbinns I could get, but grow worse
all the timo. Having read of your Rem
edies I at last mado u my mlud to try
thein. I had very little faith for I
thought, perhaps, they wcro no better
than lots of others thnt I had used before
without any benefit. But thanks bo to
God and also to you, I tried thom and -found
it to my benollt. I only took fieo
bottle of your Swamp-Hoot and one ol
Female llemedy and used one bottle of .
your U. & O. Anointment and was ctn-'
plttety cured. ' .
It is' now over one year since I was'
troubled nnd yet I hnvo. not felt a single,
touch or roturn of tho old complaints.
I think I was better before I had taken
one-half of the first bottle. I now believo
and havo more faith in you than any
other doctor on earth.
If this will be of nny benefit to you or
others, you can publish it and if need be
1' ' by moro than ftwnfy
U' reli"l,l le in tlus '"ty.
God bless ou nnd yours, and with
great respect, Jlrs. Lcroy G. Coville. .
The preceding testimonial was set up in this
ofllce from the ordinal letter written by Mrs.
Coville. Koitoiw ok Union.
yire thoumuid dollan is offered to any '
one who will provo nny portion of this
testimony untrue. Hundreds of similar,
letters nre received daily by tho proprio-'
lors of Swamp Hoot.
