A HORSR DISEASE.— Within the l**t
few weeks a very fatal and alarming epi
demie lnw broken out among the heroes
of New York City. It is thought to be
the disease known as the cerebro-spirnl
Meningitis. Yet some veterinary snr-;
Cn* dispute the vrmptoins. It "is evi
lly a disease of the vertebrae, AM tiie
hinder parte of the animal are flret ,
affected (paralyzed 1, the affection gradu
ally Advancing along tlie Wok to the
brain, when the fore parts also give war.
The home continues to oat a* though in
good health, but if allowed to lie down
he never gets op. Therefore rs s*ran a
the malady shows itself, the animal is
supported by bi\uid canvas supporters
iiMd under the abdomen, just allowing
lis feet to touch the stable n.xM\ If this
eonrae is punuol recovery ia pusiblr.
There is uo treatment yet discovered, j
that can be relied upon. We hear that
the same disease has manifested itself in
sections of the country, and that many j
farmers have lost some of their finest
stock by it.
* FRCTT GARTEN. —ought to

prevent the growth of weeds "as well as
to keep the fruit free from dirt If the
hay or straw used in mulching can be run
through a hay cutter, it forms a better
material than wheu aacut. Plants set

set this wesson should be
allow#! to grow but one shoot. Hub off
all other bads and keep the single shoot
tied up to a stake. Yonn bearing lines
should not rijieu more than two bunches
to a shoot, as the quality of the fruit
will then 1* much better. "Wherever
mildew mokes its appearance use sulphur
applied by a bellows.
fwrrmfo ought to bo heavily mulched, i
as it aaves time in hoeing during the
busy season.
rries. —Allow only three or four i
canes to grow to each stool. unless it is
desired to propagate the variety.
Bi*wJkherries. —Canes must uot be al
lowed to grow more than four or five
feet ; the pinching induces the growth
of side shoots, and those sbonld l>e
stopped when eighteen inches in length.
TIMMA HAT is much more valuable
when eut early than wheu permitted to
become ripe. If seed is needed, leave a
portion for that purpose ; but the main
crop for hay should be cut when in blos
som. At this period the plant contains .
much gum, sugar and starch, which
later become changed into dry. harsh,
nanatritions, woody fiber. For this roa
ixm, cut early in July. There is a very
prevalent idea that the blossom causes
the hay to be dusty, and injurious to
horoee fed on it Heaves are said to be
caused by it Tins is an error. Any
dust made bv the dried blossoms must
of necessity be shaken off during the
handling of the bey, and if it were not
so. the dust itself "would be harmless j
unless taken into the lungs, which con
tinued, of course, would lie hurtful.
These is no necessity for the hay to be
fed a such a manner as to allow this.
The injurious dust is that caused by
damp and mold. This is hurtful, in a
highiflegn e. and care must- be taken to
have the liav put in the burn free from
moisture. Timothy hav is very easily
cure*! ; we have cut it in the forenoon, i
and had it well and safely housed before
night by having it well-spread and turn
ed during the day. Hay so gotten in
will ooinc out green and fragrant, will
spend well, and sell well. It is a common
idea Timothy is hard on the land. When
permitted to ripen its seed, this is true,
as of any other grain crop ; but when cut |
early, is not exhaustive. Cutting early,
spares the soil, gets the hay out of the
way of the wheat harvest in good time,
and gives the fanner more nutritious
feed for his stock. Try it—Hearth d"
Home.
HLNTS FOB THE SEASON.— In its hints
for the season the A'/ricutmrisi says :
Plaster or Gypsum may still be sown
with advantage on elover, corn, peas,
etc. hen the aowiug costs more than
the plaster, put on two or three bushels
per acre ; but when plaster is dear, we
should not sow more that a bushel per
acre.
Beaut. —Drill in the beans on good,
clean land, or on clover aod, 2j feet
apart, and 10 inches apart in rows, and
aav I tieans in a hill"; or drill in the
1 >eans 2or 3 inches apart m the rows.
The latter plan sometimes gives the
largest yield, but it is more work to hoe
and pull the crop. Beans may be sown
as late as the middle of the month, but
the earlier in the month the better.
The Dairy. —Let everything abont the
dairy be done with unvarying regularity
and with scrupulous cleanliness. Tol
erate no noise, harsh words or rough
treatment. Never hurry or run the
cows, or excite them in any way. Milk
writh a steady, unceasing fiow, and leave
not a drop in the udder. Next to liberal
feed, pure water and dean milking, me
place in importance, petting the cow*.
A dairy farmer must be a gentleman.
And the cows like to see a kind-hearted, ,
sensible woman in the yard or stable at
milking time ! Let every dairy utensil
be scalded every day. Mere washing in
warm water will not answer. The water
most be boiling hot. Nearly all the
trouble of the butter not coming, bail
flavor, etc., arises from ignorance of or
inattention to the necessity of having
the water boiling hot. A djrty vessel 1
dipped m trailing hot water for a minute
or two is far better than one that has ]
• been washed perfectly clean in merely
warm water, but not scalded. The hot
water penetrates into every pore or
crack, and destroys the germs of the
fungus that produces the mischief.
Sheep. —Tag all that need it, and wash
the sheep us soon as the water is warm,
but not earlier. Attend to the washing
yourself and recollect that it will be bet
ter fat least for the sheep) to allow the
washers more coffee than whisk v. A
little grain for a week or ten days before
and after washing, will do much to pre
vent the sheep from taking cold— ami it
will start the oil sooner after washing,
and they can be sheared .earlier. If a!'
shearer is rough with the sheep, kick
him out of the barn—figuratively, of :
course. Fat, long-wooled sheep should
lie fastened a few hours before shearing, j i
Look .out for foot-rot On the first
symptom of lameness, separate the lame
sheep, and dress the feet of the whole
flock with a strong solution of carlralic
acid. There is nothing better than car
bolic acid to cure the foot-rot and noth
ing so good as a preventive. Lamb*
troubled with ticks should bo dipped in
a weak solution of carbolic acid—suy a
gallon of the crude arid to twenty gal
lons of water. j

PALPITATION OF THE HEART— There
are probably few persons who have not
at some time in tneir lives had, if not ,
for more than a moment, palpitation
of the heart. The disease is dependent ,
on over-excitement of the nerves of this ,
organ. Usually it lasts bnt a few moments, ,
bnt cases are on record of its continuing I,
eight days at the rate of 160 beats to the i \
minute. Where not caused by disease of .
the heart or its valves, it is not a danger
ous affection. The best treatment is per- ]
feet quiet and composure in a recumbent \
posture. If it continues long, apply hot
compresses over the region of the heart,
changing them often. To prevent tbeir ]
occurrence, avoid over-exertion, tight -
a othing, nervous excitement, a crowded j j
or unventilated room, and above all, load- f
ingtha stomach with indigestible articles
of food. "We have known many instances j
of palpitation cured by adopting plain, :
simple habits of life. ,

jury, trouble, and fatality of a death in ]
the house. The jury returned a verdict t
for 858.50, the sum due for board, but ]
absolutely rejected the claim for "extra t

Tha Population of London In 1871.
The following ha* lioen issued from
the General Register office in London :
Fp to the present date tho population
of London ha*, since the year 1801,
boon CKtimatevl tor *ll purpose*. Ton
years have clasped since the laat enumer
ation, and during tlroae yearn the nio
tropoli* ha* aeeii many change*. That
it Mtill increasing w* evident, but
no space remained opeu for new house*
in the eentral parishea. merchant*,
trader*, and prohwaioua! men had left
their niausious in the Cities of London
and Westminster to reside tievond the
iHiuuilarie*. and mnuv dwelling* had
IHH'H demouahed to make room fir roil
way* and public work*. The birth*
have exceeded the death* year bv year,
hut the increase of Loudou ho* for gen
eration* IHHUI kept up by uu migration
from the English counties, from Wales,
from Scotland, from Ireland, and from
| foreign porta. Had that tide of iiumi
gration IHH*U retanled, or had it rolled
on in au increasing flood ?
Tho population 111 the year 1861 wa*
2,803.#89 ; what wa* the increase? We
have no lunger to rely on estimate. The
miijicrtiitcndciit register* and registrar*
have by great zeal now furnished the
actual mnulier* of people enumerate*! in
the nirtiM|Hili ou April 3, and, although
then turn* have yet to be revised at the
central ofllo*', it is thought light to
|uiblisli their first results in order to
show how far tlier agree with the esti
mates *iu which tlie rat*-* of mortality
'are calculated.
Population of Loudon estimated in
the weekly tables for middle of year
IS7I, 3,25e,409. Population enumerat
ed a* living at luiduight ou Sunday, 2d
of April. 8,251.864. Cak'ulate*! for that
Smutty night, the estimate by the some
method is 3,247,631, which differs ouly
4,173 from the enumerate*l jHinnlntion.
The jHipulation of 3,250,000 lives on
both tudes of the Thames— extending
along its bank from Wool* ich up t*
llanim*ramith, and across it* stream
froiu Norwood to Hanquitiml —over 122
**piar*t mile*; au area rather greater
than a square of 11 miles to the side.
On an average there are 2,669 persons to
a square mile, and, a* only a certain
numWr of jssiple live on a given area,
it traepme evident that the usual hypo- j
thesis of increase in a gaomntricol pro-'
gression would no Kmger apply to the
growth of Loudon, and in consequence
the sorie-s calculated in 1865 which
has duoe liecn UM-*1 in weekly tallies,
and of which the number cited above i
one. The closeness *if the estimat*' i
; another example of the constancy of the
laws which rule human life and determine
EuglUh progress.
The increase of the population in the
ten years 1861-71 was 447,815. Not
many cities in the world have a imputa
tion equal to this increase of the me
tropolis of the British Empire in ten
years.
I'tilizing Coal Bust for Fuel.
A correspondent of the Sei<mtijk Amer
icon write*:
It is a well-known fact tliut coal, either
bituniiiiou* or anthracite, pr*Mluc*>* in
minipg, breaking, ncreening, and hand- j
ling, an uinoiuit of dust, commonly
known as stack coal, amouuting on an
average, to fifty per cent, of the rend
lirodiiL-tiou, thu* causing a considerable
>wa to the parties engage*! in mining, a*
but a small jmrtion of this du-t coal, and
that only of the hitiuuiuuu* cool, i* ne*sl
ed for bla*ksinith purposes, while the
anthracite slack is entirely useless. The
imnit-nsv |u:uitity of reius*- read must
necessarily he got out of the way, I
whether dumped iu*o a stream, to be
carried off, or lieup*sl on ground which
ha* to be dearly paid for. In the ui
thrncito coal regions, this immense
amount of waste is coivstantlv twing
piled up uround tin* luiiies in vast, uu
siglitly inonldr, burying the mining
villages, and *a*lly encroaching on tin*
limits of many of the chief tow tin. The
amount of this waste cannot lie ha* than
fifteen million* of tons, aud every year
add* to the rapidly increasing dirt bank.
In France, in Germany, iu Belgium,
and in England, the slu k of the hitu
minons coal has IMM-U converted into
lunqw or cake* of different aires and
shn|Hi bv mixing it with read tur. Mon
sieur DcWyuin, from Paris, started the
first manufacture of artificial fuel or
agglomerated stack, at Montigny-tir-
Srunhre (Belgium) about eleven year*
ago. He poMwaara to-day two niamifac
toriea in Belgium and two ill Fnuice.
He manufactured in 1870 over 1,200,000
of ton*; railroad comjianies used 931,600
tons, the navy use 1 250,000 ton*, and
other industries used 70,000 tons.
Among the railroad companies, that of
the Paris, Lyona, Mreliterranrein con
sume* pre***ireial exclusively, requiring.
1,200 bum p* r day. The Northern Had
read Company, of France, between
Paris. Amiena, Dunkenpie and Calais,
do<*s not na*> preow-il coal exclusively,
although its daily eonsunijgiou amounts
to 300 bin*. The ncareitv of coal tar is ,
the only tiling which prevents M. Dchay
nin from erecting other factories and in
creasing the manufacture of hit com
pressed coal.

ALKALI IN WATER AND LAND.—J. N.
Bloan, of Sedgwick, Kansas, H*ked the

Nobody know of any tuple way of doing

Press —who was present as a visitor—
said that the California fanners found
that planting sugar lieetsin alkaline soils
improved them, and made them flt for
grain. Mr. Whitney said this was easily
explained from the property of the soda
salta to circulate through the cellular 1
tissues of plants without assimilation, b>
which allusion had been riade iuthe dis

believed it was not considered Bafe to

A Rare Dying Out.
A letter from Archangelsk. in the Rus
siiia Kirhmifff ( hurtle announces the
gradual extinction of the ra<- of the
Snmojedes, who have Ix-en reductsl from
a numerous people to an insignificant I
tribe of seven thouaand p-nviiis. This
is nsi-rilasl by the conemondent to the j
Hamoiedea having come in contact with
sujicrior racan ; formerly they were iro-'
prietors of large herds of reindeer, while ;
now they have to work for the Russians,
who supply them with brandy and other ,
luxuries, which demoralize and impover-:
ish them. Notwithstanding this, adds
the correspondent, the Hamojedes arc '
not without abilitii-s ; some of them 1
have proved excellent men of business, !
and there is now aSamojedcnhip captain 1
on the White Sen who knows bow to j
read and write, and sjienkes the Russian,
Danish, German, English, and French j
languages. Tho Samojedes have no <
national songs or traditions, and if, as ia |
all but certain, the race should die out,
it would leave nothing behind it to re

How ta Nee Ho* a a Well.
i, It is uot generally known, says the
l.aucaAtcr (Penu.) how easy
a matter it is to explore the liottom of a
i well, cistorn, or putid of water by the
use of a common mirror. When the sun
ia shining brightly hold a mirror ao that
the reflected rava of light will fall into j
the water. A bright spot will Ire seen at
i the bottom, ao light as to show the
aiuallewt object plainly By this means
me have examined the bottom* of wells
fifty feet deep, wheu half-full or more of
water. The amallest *lr*w or other ob
jects can be perfectly seen from the sur
face. Iu the same way oue nan examine
the bottom of the ponds and rivers, if
the waters be somewhat agitated by
w iud* or rapid tnotiou. If a well or ria
torn be under cower, or shaded ly a
building ao that the sunlight will uot
fall near the opening, it t* only neoe*-
sary to emulov two mirrore, using one to
reflect the light to the opening, and an
other to reflect it dowu into the wafer.
Light tnar be thrown fifty ur a hundred
yard* to tire precise spot desirable, and
then downward. We liMYe uwd the mirror
with auccona, to reflect the light around
the Ixmae to a shaded well, and also to
carry it from a south window through
two rooms and then into a cistern under
the north side of the house. Half a
dozen reflections of light may lx- made,
though each mirror diminishes the bril
liancv of the light. Let any oue not
fauufiar with the method, try the experi
ment. It will perhajMt reveal a moss of
sediment at the bottom of the well thai .

may liave Ix-en a frigtitfnl noaroe of (lis

The details which reach u here of the i

The Harrora of Part*.
The detail* of the horror* of Pari*
daring tiie late aeige are sickening. Near
i tiie Pare Monoeau aayr* a writer a melaa
choly episode occurred. A liuslmud
and wife were m-iacd and ordered to
inarch forward toward the Iflace \ en
dome, * ilistance of a mile and a lialf.
They were tx.tli of them invalids, and
unable to walk ao far. The woman ast
down on the curbstone and declined to
move a "ten, in spite of her husband a
entreaties tnat ahe would try. Nlio |xr
--; aiated in her refusal, and they l*>ti
| knelt down together, liegging the oex-
JortosM who aeoomjianied them to shoot
them at oner, if shot they were to be.
Twenty revolvers were fired, but they
still breathed, and it was only at the
' eoood diacharge that they finally sank
down dead. The gtndurm** then rod*
sway, leaving the bodies aa they bad
fill kill.
A woman invited soldier* into her
bouse to eat and drink, and had them
Manghtered one by one. Thia bouse,
in the most fashionable part of Paris,
was searched, and tbe woman and ber
aeeotapliora disposed of on tiie spot
Ou one luurricade a father and son were
fighting. Tbe father received a bullet
through tbe cheat and fell into the arms
of hi* son, who was mortally wounded.
'lt was our destiny," *id the father,
aud they Willed dead together to the
bottom of the barricade.
I witnessed a hideous B|<ectacle ie one
of those lofty, narrow streets described
by Hterue in bis Srliin**Uil Journey.
In this street, where there aas not room
for a cart to turn, a kind of military
tribunal had been established, which
was dealing with prisoners in the most
summary monuer. I was just in time to
see one youth, accused of Ix'ing the
Secretary of Jules Voiles, shot, and bis
body waa allowed to remain in the gut
ter while another respectable-looking
young man was examined. He was ac
cused of wishing to poison the treops
and set fire to a house. The evideuoe
was flimsy, but the soldiers, with their
blood up, and a dastardly mob, required
victims, not justice. The prisoner pro
tested his iuuooeucc, but the cry was
"Let him die, he belonged to the Com- j
mune." He showed hi* papers, and his
pockets were rifled, hut nothing com
promising was found. However, he was
dragged hither and thither Ix-tween
those who wished to shoot him on the
if pot and others who were not quite ao
lusty. Three times the uufortuuste
man wa* pushed against the sail to be
•hot— the soldier* raising their Chame
pot* and telling the crowd to retire—and '
three times lie managed to obtain a j
fresh hearing, and in the end he was led
off to tiie Town Hall to le examined.
There are a great many similar tribunal*
in ulceration, and often no tribunal at
all. The curfew toll* at 9 o'clock, when
we have to put out our lights and remain .
in the dark, with all the terrible images
we have seen during tiie day floating '
through our restless brains.
Tux Burlington fiomtte, referring to
I the recent capture of a seal near that
place, relates the following singular fact:;
For s week or ten day* previous to the
seal tx-iug captured, the shod in the
river almost entirely disappeared. The
fishermen caught ao few that fishing
proved a losing business, and the price
of the few shad went np to a btgh figure.
All this time the seal wa* swimming to (
snd fro in the river, no doulrf doing his
share at shad fishing. To keep clear of
