er dnye :
The operation is about tho same- as
killing n bocf. Tho horses aro driven
up tho inclined roadway from tho cor
rals and each is enclosed in a pen.
Tho executioner strike? them in the
bead with ftBlodfjchnmiuer. Tho doors
of tho pen aro lifted and tho carcasses
are drawn out on tho floor and expe
ditiously dressed and hung up.
Trenches in tho floor and chntes con
vey tho offal out of sight, nud, in a
short time, a number of enronssos aro
suspended by tho gambrels from iron
tracks above.
Tho pile of hoofx in 0110 corner, o
pilo of horsetails in another, and the
length and sliiuness of the legs on the
carcasses aro all that would indicate
to an unexperienced person that any
thing unusual had been going ou.
Tho flesh of tho horsu is darker than
that of good beef.
There aro certain variations to tho
customary method of converting a livo
horso into an edible, ono which de-
servo mention. Horses which havo
been killed in tho cirs, or had "brok
en thoir necks running down on em
bankment trying to get awny," as one
butcher said, must not bo allowed to
go to waste. So they are gotten out
of tho way very expeditiously. The
legs wero cut oil at tho knees, the
mane and tail removed, a slit made
tho wholo length of tho tkin and the
Load and part of tho neck divested of
tho epidermis. Then a rope wai
made fast to the loosened skiu and a
chain put around the neck and fas
tened to the trunk of en applo troo.
A team of horses wag hitched to the
rope and tho entire skin thus pulled
off. A few cuts and slashes and the
carcasses were in tho steam tank being
converted into fertilizer.
This is, in brief, tno way horses aro
killed for eating in tho first establish
ment of its kind iu America. It is
not intended that any of tho meat
shall lo offered for enle here ; nor is
there any part of the establishment
devoted to canning. Tho company
will not can horses, at least at pres
ent Only the hams will be picklod
for export. The offal will bo convert
ed into fertilizer and made into other
marketable products by methods in
use at all first-class abattoirs.

American irises do not seem toliare
received the attention from cultiva
tors that they deserve. It is doubtful
if there bo at this time a complete col
lection even of tie different species iu
any ono gnrdeu, wLile there are, no
doubt, prood varieties which have never
been cultivated, and probably not
even collected for herbariums. Arrain.
there are varieties which havo ouly a
local reputation, aud which havo not
been generally distributed. I have
found a number of varieties of this
kind ; some of these aro not yet flow
ered here. Some of our irises are most
difficult to establish, and it will task
the skill of nn Kasteru grower to flower
some of tho West Coast species, which
resent removal and naturally are at

Wo notice in ono of our agricul
tural contemporaries a statement to
the effect that "a prominent entomol
ogist (fortunately name not Riven)
proposes placing a taWespoouful of
sweetened bran wash containing poi
son by tha sido of each hill of corn"
for the purpose of poisoning cutworms.
Wo doubt very much if nny promi
nent or other entomologist hasor could
bo induced to recommond such an ab
surd thing, because all of tho dozen or
mora species of tho cutworm feed en
tirely on green and succulent plants,
and would bo no mora incliuod to eat

man who should set out such a tempt

vicious persons from placing poisons

OLD STOSK WALLS.
When tho country was new many
farmers put as much stone as they
could into walls for their fences.
These wero deemed much more im
portant then than they are now. How
ever great the satisfaction when the
wall was built in thinking that it was
a fence forever, tho time has come in
many places where tho stone wall is a
nuisance. Its material is all there,
but the work of relaying it and of
keeping it in repair is greater than the
interest on cost of most fences. Bo
sides, tho stone wall is a harbor for
weeds, aud it often U a refuge for
skunks, weasels and other farm ver
min. On most farms the best use of
tho old stone walls is to build base
ments for barns or cellar walls, or iu
the underdrains. GooJ drains can be
made from stono alone, or after laying
tho tile a layer of stone may be placed
abovo them, coming to within a foot
or so from tho surface, so the stone'
will not likely be ever in the way of
tho plow. liuston Cultivator.
IIAIIVESTINO AND MARKETING GRAPES.
Picking, packing and murketing
should be done systematically ; care
less pickers or packers cau not bo tol
erated. Iu Western New York a bushel
tray or box is used almost exclusively
for picking. This is too cumbersome
and requires both hands in moving it.
We uso a shullow half bushol box, or
basket, which is readily handled with
one hand. A good picker will gather
from 1200 to 1500 pounds per day
without dropping or crushing any,
and a good packer will pack 100 to
125 baskets and get them full enough
so they will open up smooth and level
on top with no stems in sight, but not
eo full as to crush the fruit iu putting
on the cover. Tick grapes at least
twenty-four hours before they are
packed. If picked audpa-.ked at once,
ibey settlo so the basket is ouly two
thirds full when it reaches the con
sumer. '
I'lan tho harvest work so that full
loads can be hauled to the depot each
day. If the roads are good, as they
should be, 400 or 500 baskets cau be
us readily drawn as half that number.
Have the packing Lou so cool and airy,
with room and conveniences for the
packers to work to the best advantage.
If you ship to a commission house,
don't listeu to overy drummer that
comes alonjr, but select two or three
reliable firms and give them your fruit
exclusively. The plan of forming all
growers into u co-operative union has
uot proved a success here. A better
plan is for several growers who can
work harmoniously to load their own

should be nsod thirly-fivo pounds of
good strong tobacco (if stems or other
iuferior parts aro nsod there should
be more), and ten pouuda of flower of
sulphur. This should bo usod at a
temperature of 120 doorroes, and will
leave tho wool in a healthy condition,
while killing every sort of parasite.
Whero tobacco is usod, care should bo
taken to keep tho wash out of the

FERNS IN THE GARDEN.
If one has a sh:idy place, with good
soil, ferns may bo successfully raised
in the garden, but it is tho cxtrcmo
of folly to attempt to grow them in
tho glare of sunlight or in dry or hard
earth. Neither Bhould they.be grown
under largo treos, uules they can bo
plncod some distnnco from tho roots,
as tho trees absorb most of tho good
from tho soil, and the form would
starve to death or grow thin and
ragged. Deep, rich oud loamy soil is
best for ferns, aud even this should
be removed iu part, aud its plaoe snp
pliod by tho black earth from the bot
tom lund where ferns flourish most
luxuriantly. One can go to any
swamp aud take up and bring homo
ferus euough to make a beautiful bed,
with very little trouble. Always se
lect small plants, and lift them with
plenty of earth attached to them,
water thorn thoroughly for a number
of days, aud never allow them to be
come parched. If tho ground gets
dry, they can bo kept in good condi
tiou by covering the roots with rottoj
wood or the sweepings from tho lawn,
taken up after tho lawn mower is usod ;
but the best of all is ducayod wood
from tho forests. Some day when you
go out to drive, put a couple of bags
in tho carriage, and when you pass
through some piece of thick wood
laud stop and gather your bags full of
scraps from the trunk of some decayed
tree. In tho absence of these, pieces
of board or sticks of any kind aro a
tolerable substitute, or bricks or
stones may bo laid nrouud among tho
plants. This will keep tho earth moist
and do much to promote tho health
and vigor of the ferns.
One may buy green-house ferns ia
the spring and put tham out, and de
rive great ploastvre from them all sum
mor. Many of them will not live out
through tho winter; some of them
may, but they cau be removed at
small cost, and the little expense is
well worth while. Now York Ledger.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Hold fast to your mutton sheep.
Linseed meal ia excellent food for
the colt.
Solitary confinement in a dark sta
ble will make a horso vicious.
Breed to suit your markot, and not
according to your individual tasto.
See that the collars fit the shoul
ders aud that the hames fit the col
lars. Usually- the swine pasture should
bo larger than is tho case on many
farms.
Pawing is ofton caused by indigos
tion, worms, constipation or disor
dered kidneys.
You are feeding your hens too much.
Thoy are too fat. That's why thoy
don't lay any more.
A good sheep is a good friend to
tho farmer. Do not abuse him even
though he is not on top just now.
A lean hen seldom wants to sit, while
a fat one gonerally docs. Moral :
Don't feed your hens too much in warm
weather.
It is an excellent plan to treat hy
drangeas with liquid manure till tha
blossoms appear. It should thon be
discontinued, abundauce of water be
ing given.
If the dry weather affects the lawn,
leave the grass a littlo longer; its
shade will do somothing for tho protec
tion of the roots, that otherwise
might parch and dry.
A hog should bo kept for every cow
on tho average farm, provided there
ure at least two acres in the farm for
eaoh hog kept. Piggy needs room,
so do cows, horses, sheep and poul
try. One point iu favor of sheep is that
a moderate-sized tloak ciu bo kept ou
very many farms with bnt little oost ;
sometimes with actuul direct advan
tage to tho farm aside from the money
returu for wool or mutton.
If your pasturage is short, feed
coru-fodder and help out the corn
with some full pasturage, barley, for
instance, or winter rye. Sow those
now where the earlier grains have
been taken off and you will get well
paid.
The flowering period of hybrid
roses may be materially prolonged by
faithful atteutiou to watering; and
after the blooming has ceased water
should be given with equal fidelity, be
cause at that time the now wood is
formed which will give tho next crop
of blossoms.
If a two aud a half-year old steer
cau bo turned off at a butter profit,
weighing 1250 pounds, than if kept
uutil three years old and brought to a
weight of 1000, it would be folly to
hold hiiu. The older an Huiuiul guts
the more it costs to put on flesh, aud
cuttle men are adopting the policy of
leeding off earlier.
Eubiliige is largely usod by some
poultry keepers. It is easily prepared.
Tuke a large burrul, or hogshead, or a
tight, strong bin u best, and after
cutting your clover, weeds, grass or
any other gneea stuff fine, puck it iu
a receptacle, aud cover it over with
boards thut you cau weight dowu by
piliug ou stoues. Tho muiu thing is
to exclude the uir. When this is done
perfectly your silo is u success, aud
you will have pluuty of green stuff id
winter.

rANNKD rmirr juices.
Canned fruit juices are an oxocllont
substitute for wino in all pudding and
sauces, etc. It is a good plan to pro
pnro tho pure juice in summer tituo,
putting it by for this purpose. Select

each piut of juice add ono enp of

r-RESKltVlNd EGGS.
Thero is no kno;vu method by which
egits can bo kept to be equally good
ns fresh eggs, but thero are many
ways of preserving thorn so as to mko
a fair substitute for use in tho kitcheu.
Tho groat object to- bo obtaiuod is to
prevent evaporation. Cutting off tho
air from tho contents of the shell pre
serves them longer than any othor
treatment. At prescut cold storage is
considered the best method of pre
serving eggs, but fow have the neces
sary fnoilities, and where the amount
is small one of the followiug recipes
will bo found acceptable:
F?gs may bo preserved by packiug
small cud down iu salt, saud or dry
bran, care bfliug takou that thoy do
not touch each other. . They must be
well coverod with the packing mato
rial aud kept iu a cool plaae. If pre
ferred, they may be wiped before
packing with vaseline, to whicS sali
cyolio noid has been added, or given
a coating of salt butter, or oovorod
with spirit varnish made by dissolv
ing gum shollao in alcohol.
For preserving in limo a piekle is
mado iu tho following way: Take
twonty-fonr gallous of water, twelve
pouuds of unslaked limo and four
pounds of salt, or in thnt proportion,
iccordiug to tho quautity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir sovoral timos daily
and then let staud until tho liquor has
settled aud is perfootly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the cloar liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Tako livo ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpetre and borax
and an ouuoe of alum. Pulverize and
mix theso and dissolve in a gallon of
boiling water, and add to tho mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime
water. This will about fill a cider
barrel. Lower tho eggs in carefully
in a basket or colander, so as not to
:rack any of tho shells, lettiug tho
water always staul au inch above the
sggs, which cau bo douo by placing a
barrel head a little smaller upon them
ind weighting it. Tho eggs should
lomain iu the brine uutil ready for
ttso. If it evaporutos, more water
&iay bo added, but the pickle should
aever be nsod more than once. Theso
proportions will give brine enoush to

The Duke of Orleans, the oldest son of
King Louis I'liillppe, was tho Inheritor of

was about to tnke his do; rturo from l'arls
to Join his regiment, ia tno conviviality of
the hour he drank too much wiuo. lie did
not become intoxicated; be was not in any
roepeet a dissipated mnn. His character wns
lofty and noble, Dut la thnt Joyful hour he
uniuK n ginss too much, lie lost the twinned

his companions, ho entered his carriage,
liut for thnt extra glass he would have kept

VICTIMS OF INTEMPERANCE.
We are appalled and shocked at tho
accounts from tho Enst, of widows burnt
upon tho funeral plies of their departed
husbands, llut what if those devot.im of
superstition, the lirtihinins, had discovered
a mode of prolonging the lives of the victims
for yonrs nmld the names, and by those pro
trnctod burnings wero nccustoiued to torture
llfo away? We might almost rouso up a
crusade to cross the deep, to slop by force
such inhumanity, llut, alas! wo should
leave behind us, on our own shores, more
wives in the lire than we should llnd widows
thus sucrllleed iu nil tho East; a lire, too,
which, besides Us action uhu tho body,
tortures tho soul by lost nlToctlons, nnd
ruined hopes, uud prospective wretched
ness. It is high time to outer upou the business
of collecting facts ou this subject. Tho
statistics of intemperance should be pub
lished; for no man has comprehended as yet
tho height, nud depth, nud leuglh, uud
breadth of this mighty evil.
k PRACTICAL TEST.
Two young physicians practicing in a hos
pilal wero much taken with Dr. Aiustio's
theory of the food value of alcohol. Iu good
faith they set about a personal demonstra
tion, taking the doctor's "safe dose" instead
of their usual rations of eatables three times
a day. l)y the end of three days they were
hardly able to crawl up and down stuirs;
they hud each lost six pounds of flesh and
thoy wero altogether so miserable that they
were glad to return to thoir usual diet and
discard alcohol. W. C. T. U. Bulletin.

Animals when wild constantly tlin a
lingering death from injury to tho
skin, whether caused, as usually hap
pens in tropical oonutrioF, by wounds
aggravated by insects, or by cntano
ons disease. Hence tho pains which
thoy take in niak'ng thoir toilet, nnd
in tho nso and selection of "cos
inotiec." Among birds, tho salt water
species often seek fresh water to wash
in, different land birds chooso differ
ent earths in which to dust, and nlso
wash in water, and nearly every trop
leal animal, including tho tiger,
bathos either in 'wator or in mud. Tor
haps the beBt known mud bathers are
the wild boar, tho water buffalo and
tho elephant. Tho latter has an im
Dionse advantago over all other aui
nials, in the uso of its truuk for dress
ing wounds. It is at oneo a syringe,
a powdering puff and a hand.
Water, mud and dust aro tho mam
'applications" uod, though it some
times covers a sun-scorched back with
grass or leaves. "Wonudod clo
phauts," writes Sir Samuel Baker,
"have a marvelous power of recovery
when in their wild state, t although
they havo bo gifts of surgical knowl
edge, thoir situplo system being con
fined to plastering their wounds with
mud, or blowing dust upon tho sur
face. Dust and mud comprise tho en
tire pharmacopoeia of the elephant,
and this is applied upon tho most
trivial, as well as upon tho most scri
ms, occasions. I havo seen them,
when in a tank, plaster up a bullet
wound with mud taken from tho bot
tom." Tho Spectator.
