P«.» 23, 1882. AGRICULTURAL. The peppermint crop of the United ! States reaches about 70,000 pounds a \ year, of which 30,000 pounds is ex- . ported. Two-thirds of the pepper mint oil of this county is produced in ; New York, and about one-third in Michigan- The Maine Board of Agriculture with wise conversation advises "the average farmer' of that State 'to await the results of experiments now in pro gress on the ensilage of corn and other forage crops, before adopting the sys tem on a scale involving any consider able expense.' This is unquestionably sound advice, for while the experiments with ensilage arc certainly promising, t'ney are not yet conclusive. It is not well to leave the old paths till the new are shown to be better A Fargo, Dakota, paper says : To the thousands of farmers who, from year to year, have fattened stock on timothy or hurd grass, it will perhaps be interesting to know the origin of its, name. A century or more ago a wealthy gentlemen living near Albany, N. Y., bad imported the first seed of that grass ever brought to this country. The gentleman's name was Timothy Hurd, and his neighbors, after testing the merits of the grass, gave it the name of him to whom they were in debted for its introduction iuto the country. The damage done to pastures and meadows by the grub of the May-bug is often very great, and the only ef fective protection the farmer has against its depredatious is thought the agency of the despised and hated crow. At least so thinks a correspondent of the American Agriculturist, who makes an earnest plea on behalf of these sable denizens of the air. The crow, he says, has great skill in de tecting the presence of the destructive grub, and if allowed to multiply would soon exterminate the pests, or at least reduce their numbers so much that they would do no serious damage. A few hills of corn in springtime is small loss compared to the grass crop of a whole farm destroyed by grubs. A correspondent of the Weekly Tri bune writes that experience has taught him the following points about pota toec : 'l. The Earlv Rose is the best in quality and the most profitable. 2. It must be planted as soon as the ground can be properly prepared. 3 The ground must either be already highly enriched, or else heavily manur ed with ojd. well-rotted mauure. 4. The Colorado beetle must be destroyed as soon as the plants come up. 5 The ground must be kept clean, and must be stirred each week until the plants are full of bloom. A few days' delay in planting often means failure. A difference of just ore week in plantiug two different plants last spring, caused almost a failure in the one last planted. Neglect to kill the Colorado beetle as soon as the plunts push through will seriously injure the crcp. . . When the plants begin to nloom, ceasa to stir the soil deeply, but skin the surface until they cover the ground.' Mr. John I) Cunningham, jr., drives leisurely around his gigantic peach orchard of 50,000 bearing trees near Griffin, Ga., observes with satisfaction that the buds are not too pre cocious, and com; lacently remarks, 'I reckon this is mj' year.' He says that his is the biggest peach orchard" in the world, but, lest some jealous grower should presume to dispute the assertion, he intends to set 200 more acres next fall. 'This is the only region in the world,' adds Mr. Cunningham, 'where a perfect peneh can de rai.-ed.' In regard to Graham flour a corre spondent of the County Gentleman writes: Graham flour is our hobby, and every one who eats it at our table admires the graham bread aud gems. I have one of Livingston's hand mills and grind the wheat myself; coarse for mush and fine for bread. These mills are manufactured in Pittsburgh and cost sll. It Housekeeper will get one and then take wheat, pick it over and grind it, she will have no more trouble about making good wholesome* bread. Wheat is made up of the fourteen ele ments which constitute the human system, and the mucle-making, the heat-producing, aud brain and uerve feediug elements are in about the av erage proportions required, under or dinary circumstances, with moderate exercise of physical and mental facul ties Housekeeper will see from this that the only directions any one netnls about, making graham flour are to have the whole wheat ground up with out any bolting or sifting. It is difficult to keep track of all the smart schemes adopted to swindle the unsuspecting man who does not 'take the paper,' but we endeavor to keep our readers posted on the subject Here is one of the latest methods, which has been worked extensively in our neighboring counties, and we hear of a few cases in this county: A specu lator in country produce calls on « far mer; purchases $lO or sls worth of eggs, butter or poultry, says that he wants a receipt to show the firm he represents that he paid the money, breaks the point of his pencil before the signature is reached, then takes from his pocket a fountain pen, and the farmer uses it to sign his name. The swindler then goes to town, sells the produce, erases the body of the receipt, writes instead a promissarv note for SOO or SIOO and has it discounted at the bank. Col. F. D. Curtis, of Kirby Home stead, N. Y., had au old horse that, in spite of the best care and twelve quarts of meal a day, persisted in keeping thin. On consultation with a veteran horseman it was decided that the cause of the trouble was ragged or sharp teeth. On filing off the teeth with an instrument called a 'float,' made ex pressly for that pupose, the horse l>e gan to improve on three quarts of meal a day and oat straw. Colonel Curtis thinks that may be the trouble with many other horses. They do not mas ticate their food, or will not eat enough to keep in condition, because their mouths are lacerated by sharp points on the outer edges of the grinders, which arc worn unevcnlv. A correspondent wishes to know what can be thrown into a cistern to purify the water, which has a bad odor. We know of nothing better than to bang a bag containing charcoal in the water. If that does not prove effectu al, the cistern should be emptied and thoroughly cleansed, and thenceforth care be taken to prevent the first wash of the roof from entering the cistern. If only clean water be allowed to flow into the cistern, there will not be likely to be auy trouble from foul orders. Table Etiquette. It has been stated aud very truly, too, that the law of the napkin is but vaguely understood. It may be said, however, on the start, that custom and good-breeding have uttered the decree that it is in poor taste to put the nap kin in the pocket and carry it away. The rule of etiquette is becoming more aud more thoroughly established, that the napkin should be left at the bouse of the host or hostess, after dinner. There has been a good deal of dis cussion, also upon the matter of folding the napkin after dinner, and whether it should be so disposed or negligently tossed into the gravey-boat. If, how ever, it can be folded easily, and with out attracting too much attention and prolonging the session for several hours, it should lie so arranged and placed beside the plate where it may be easily found by the hostess, and re turned to her neighbor from whom she borrowed it for the occasion. If, how ever, the lady of the house is not do ing her own work, the napkin may be carefully jammed into a globular wad and fired under the table, to convey the idea of utter recklessness and pampered abandon. The use of the finger-bowl is also a subject of much importance to the bon ton guest who gorges himself at the expense of his friends. The custom of drinking out of the finger-bowl, though not entirely obso lete, has been limited to the extent that good breeding does not uow per mit the guest to quaff the water from his finger-bowl unless he does so prior to using it as a finger-bowl. Thus it will be seen that social cus toms are slowly but surely cutting downjand circumscribing the rights and privileges of the masses. At the court of Eugenie, the customs of the table were very rigid, and the most prominent guest of H. R. H. was liable to get the U. li. if he spread his napkin on his lap and cut his egg in two with a carving. The custom was that the napkin should be hung on one knee, and the egg busted at the big end and scooped out with a spoon. A prominent American at her table one day, in an unguarded moment shattered the shell of a soft boilded egg wilh his knife, and while prying it apart both thumbs were erroneously jammed into the true inwardness of the fruit with so much momentum that the juice took him in the eye, thus blinding him aud maddening him to such a degree that he got up and threw the remnants into the bosom of the hired mau plenipotentiary, who stood near tho table, scratching his ear with a tray. As may readily be supposed, there was a painful interim, during which it was hard to tell for five or six minutes whether the prominent Ameri can or the hired man would come out on top, but at last the American with the egg in his eye got the ear of the high priced hired man in among his back teeth, and the honor of our belov ed flag was vindicated.— Bill Nye'a Boomerang. Sixty-Two Diiys Without Food. JFFFERSONYILLE, IND., March 16. Miss Anna Maria Herrmann, who was sent from this city to the County I'oor Asylum sixty-two days ago, died in that institution yesterday of starvation. One day in January last she suddenly became violently insane and was ar* rested. She requested the arresting officer to kill her, as she desired to go to heaven without delay. When this was refused her she determined to die by starving herself She was sent to the insaue department of the Clark county Poor Asylum, near Charleston. The visitiog physician and superin tendent used every effort it) their power to induce her to partake of food, but to no purpose. One day shortly after her arrival at the asylum, she ate a portion of au apple, but siuce that time the su perintendent avers that she partook of no food whatever. She would drink a little water once day for a while, but lately had been unable to retain water on her stomach. Peruua is in itself a great physician.

Act wisely—be ready—have on hand "Dr. Sellers' cough Syrup," and you will have nothing to fear—not even a doctor's bill.

Seeing an advertise ment of St. Jacobs Oil, I procured a bottle, and I could feel relief upon the first application. lam now cntirely well after using one bottle. The question of polygamy in the the United States may be regarded as practically settled The Senate anti- Mormon bill, which passed the House, wipes out the institution of polygamy. It prohibits polygamists or bigamists from holding offices of trust or profit under the Government, or from voting at elections, and places them under other disqualifications which must speedily result in stamping out the barbarism and fanatical tyranny of the polygamic system. The bill was an tagonized at various stages by the Democratic members, who professed to see political motion in it, and who interposed all sorts of amendements and dilatory tactics. On its final pas sage 42. of them had the hardihood to vote in the negative. The bill passed just as it came from the Seuate, oy a vote of I'JD to 42.
