A SPRING FARM TALK.

COL. COLEMAN'S RECENT REPORT. Albe For Fertilizing: Sorghom Sagar Plant Tell-Tale Horses' Teeth-Uinti For Dome A Budjet of Farm Jfotes. Io ubmiUiiiz his fourth annual report to the president. Commissioner Colmau briefly recapitulates the work done by the rarious diTi?ion of hi department in applying the latest results of f dentine discoveries to agricultural practice. The aim of the department is a practical one and in the direction of economy and Tariety in production, through the union of science ar d experiment The past year has lenoneof activity, and new sections and Manches have been organized, the work of hich will prove of great value to the future agricultural operations of this country. The appropriation by the national government of $15,000 per annum to each of the states and territories which have established agricultural colleges or agricultural departments of colleges, in accordance with the act of congress approved March 2. 1857, has led to the establishment of new suaons or the increased deTelopmentof btations previously established under sUte authority in thirty-seven states and rnie territory. In several states two or more district stations are in operation; in others the stations have several branches under one head. ounting these latter as single stations, the total number at present is forty-two, but countire the branches sepnrntely this total number would be not far from fifty. Headers and the public in peneral can hardly fail to besurprisedat the rapid growth made by this enterprise for elevating agriculture by the mil of science, when it is remembered that the firpt agricultural experiment station in the Vnited States was established in Connecticut in 1S7S, whose example was slowly followed Is where until in lSo some seventeen of these institutions had been organized in as many states. Since then, under the impetus furrtshed by the liberality of the eeneral government, $erarate state stations bad increased to the number before stated. Most of the new rations are now in actual operation, bulletins und reports are hein published, and the investigations cover a very wide range of topics of intemt to the farmer. Hint For Skk-Eooms. A larg", sunny room should be selected for 1b invalid; if without a carpet, so much the better. iSunshine as a disinfectant i3 worth tunnels of chloride of lime. 'I he bed linen should be changed at least once in three days: the blankets once a week, those that have been removed bein hunsr in 1he open air forafo-.v hour?, then thoroughly aired in a warm room. 1 he room should be kept thoroughly ventilated, and a temperature not lower than 63 nor higher than 7. It the raent is kept warm, air may be freely admitted without the least danger. The carpet cf ft sick-room should be lightly Crushed once a daj with a wetted broom. The furniture and wood-work should be wiped with a ddinp cloth. Dry doners and feather brashes are worse than useless. The cross-sheet should invariably be kept free from crumbs and wrinkles, as these are a frequent aue of trd-sores. Whenever the Jeabt redness chows on th patient's body the skin, must b at once bathed with alcohol, thoroughly dried and dusted with powdered cxide of ziii'.-. A sheet folded orce lengthwise, laid arrosä the bed, with the upper vice jut touching the pillows and the eud tightly tucked under the mattresses, will be found to add greatly to the patient's comfort. It does not wrinkle like a single sheet, and cruoibä m?y be readily brushed otf it. The curse's dress shoul 1 invariably be neat, tasteful and pretty. Slippers or boots of felt should be worn. To be continually smoothing the bed. pestering the patient with sympathy, ind gajicg: dozen time an hour: "How 10 you feel now?" is eucuyli'to drive a sick Juan ild. Meals for invalids should look as tempting V possible. The tray should be covered with Ihe whitest napkin, and the silver, class and rhina should 6hine with cleanliness. The patient 6hould not be disgusted by a display of too much food and should not be consulted beforehand as to what he will eat or drink. In bathing the invalid never uncover too large a surface at once. Pin a blanket round the shoulders, fastening it behind, and remove the night dress under that. Put the hand under the blanket and sponge the skin, a small portion at a time. A woman's hair should be combed every day if 6he is able to bear the fatigue. If it has become tangled a little sweet 011 will loosen it. Household troubles should be kept far from the ick room. Above all, an invalid or an apparent convalescent should be saved from Iiis friends. One garrulous acquaintance may in half an hour undo the good of a week of tender nursing. In long illness a small bed table will be found indispensable. Kvery cup, lafs, spoon and utensil used should be taken out ot the room and washed as speedily as pofible. As to walkins on tiptoe and whispering, nothing" can disturb a nervous person more. Home Topic. Tell Tale Horses' Teeth. A. foal of six months has six grinders in each jiw, three in each side, and also sLi nippers, or f rnt teeth, with a cavity in each. At the age of one year, cavities in front teeth tin to decrease, and he has four grinders upon each side, one of permanent, and remainder of milk set. At the age of two rears he loses the first milk frriuders above and below, and front teeth have their cavities filled up alike to teeth of horses of eight rears of age. At the eg cf three years or two and oneJialf, he cas's his two front uppers, and iu a short time after the two next. At are of four years, grinders are six upon each side; and at about four an i one-half, his rippers are all permanent ones by the replacing of remaining two corner teeth; tushes then appear and he is no longer a colt. At five a horse has bis tushes, and there is a 1-lack colored cavity in the center of all his lower nipper. At six this black cavity is obliterated in the two front lower nippers. At seven cavities of next two are filled up and tushes blutned, and at eight cavities of two romer teeth filled up. II orte may now be said lo be aged. Cavities in nippers of upper jaw re not obliterated till horse is about ten years ld. after which time tuhes become round and dippers project an 1 change their surface. Action of Potash on the Soil. Potash is not only food for plants , but, being a caustic alkali, becomes a base for all acids, thus serving as a rendering agent for tilex and other insoluable materials. A a it does not exist in an nncombined condition in the presence of an acid, a chemical reaction is ndeed, the influence of which extends to other iV.rrrn of plant food by assisting to break their combinations and enabling them to assume new forms. In this manner it hastens not only the decomposition of organic matter, but also liberates plant food from inorganic substances. It assumes the lorms of carbonsia mlphate, phosphate, nitrate, muriate, and also enter into compound? with any other substance that seeks its union. It is thus change of form and its afhnity for some substance in preference to another which enables it to reduce inert matter and serve as a val nable agent a providing plant food. Sorghum as a Sngur Plant. One of the most promising sources of sugar for home consumption is found in the sorghum plant. The sorghum plant is one of wide variations, sometimes tbowinsr a sugar prodnrjng quality almost equal to the sugar-cane. The tendency also to yield a product unfit for lugartnikirg has been equally the subject of study. .All the principles of scientific ngricnltnre go to bow that, in a plant of eay variability, it is possiblto secure and transmit the good qualities of the plant in such a way a to produce a ariety whieh will retain, under proper conditions, the ery best qualities of the natural varieties. From this it is believed possible to develop a variety or varieties of sorghum which will teud to show a maximum content of crysta'llzabie sugar and a maximum content of subatances not stiar in the juice. Ashes For Fertilizing. Ashes are a valuable fertilizer, as they not only contain potah, but also lime and phosphates, ihe potash of ashes is very soluble, and being in the caustic condition, exerts a very potent infinr nee, but in the commercial fertili.ers the sulphate and muriate are mostly med, they being known as salts of potash, or "potash salts." They are also soluble, and show excellent results imrnedialely after application. Atheloa of potash is constant the farmer will find his crops decreasing unless be resorts to tsLes r tLe salt, though potash

exists largely in table manure, which, however, returns only a portion of the loss. Sandy soils should have an application of ashes every spring, aa they are, as a rule, naturally deficient in potash. Farm Notes, Throw your onion seed into water and use that which sinks. Make a bed for kale. It is one of the best and earliest greens to be had. Peas may go in early. The Daniel O'Ronrke is considered the best Tariety of dwarfs for a first crop. Early cabbage cannot bo had without the hot-bed. It is a matter that needs attention at this season. Dampness is as injurious to young stock as cold. Dryness and warmth conduce to health and save food. Always examine young nursery stock, as the borer may already have been at work and scale lice may be on the bark. A good hog shows little or no bristles, should have a dished face, short legs, prominent hams and broad chest. Test the garden seeds by sowing a few pinches of each kind in a shallow box of soil, which should be kept moist. The evergreen hedges should be cut back this month in order to save time, though such work can be done later, if preferred. Tt costs something like $40 a year to maintain a cow, and the profit lies in what she yields above the cost and maintenance. Cherry trees must be grafted early if success is expected. The later it is deferred the greater the difficulty of the grafts becoming connected. To waterproof muslin a writer recommends four eggs beaten up in a quart of oil and painted on both sides of the muslin, which may be thin. The lima bean is now improved so as to grow in the bush form instead of on poles, it is know an the bush lima, and the seeds are small. According to Prof. Humphries it has rot yet been discovered whether the disease known aa stump-root in cabbage is a plant or an animal. Poultry will eat broken glass with benefit where sharp, gritty material is scarce. They need something of the kind, and it should not be withheld. As a remedy for lice nothing is better or cheaper than dry dirt. All kinds of stock will use it, and it'ehotild be stored up every summer for winter use. CoL F. I. Curtis characterizes skim-milk cheese as "the Chinese wall that keeps us out of the cheese market" a point our dairymen would do well to note. There is an evident desire, according to Mr. F. Y. Johnson, on the part of cattlemen so to breed and feed as to diminish tallow worth .'5 cents a pound, and increase lean meat.worth 25 cents. The products of horticultural labor are, for the most part, perishable, and must either go at once to the consumer or be put through a more or less expensive process for their safe preservation. There are two ways of artificially manuring the soil; one by the direct use of chemical fertilizers; the other by feeding farm animals the foods that are rich in fertilizing elements, sufh as nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The hot bed for sweet potato plants must not be overlooked. Now is the time to have the bed ready. T'se plenty of seed, as there are many difficulties to be encountered in replanting, due to late frosts that may happen, and to cut worms. Some crops require an esrly start in order to get ahead of the weeds, and also to have more tiuio for growth. Among such are carrots, parsuips and beets. Get the seed in the ground as early as possible, and keep the plants free from weeds in order to have them well u oder way before mmmer. A complete hange cf the soil in flowerpot. is sometimes necessary, anil will enable a plant to been re more food aud grow better. If the same soil is used too long it may become unfit for the health of the plants, as well as the harbor worms aud parasitic insects. There will be no crop ot onions if the srround is not rich and well prepared, ami but little time remains before the onion sets will be planted. After the sets begin to start they will not thrive if grass or weed rrow among them. They must be clear of all obstacles. An acre in fruit, especially of strawberries, will sometimes pay better than five acres of grain. It should pay the fanner to have a sufficiency of fruit for his own use alone. A large quantity can be canned for winter use, and it affords an agreeable change without much cost. Cut the young trees back when placing them in the ground, and also trim back some of the roots. First remove the top soil, lay it aside, and then dig the hole for the tree. When the tree is in position throw the top soil next to the roots, pour on a bucket of water, stamp the soil down, and then add more earth until the hole is well filled and packed. It is unwise to grow hay to be sold off the farm. Stock-raising and grass-growing are joint occupations. A higher price can be obtained for hay by converting it into beef, while the manure remains behind to add to the fertility of the soil. When the hay is sold off the farm will sooner or later be impoverished, and the prices obtained will be less than if stock is kept to consume the hay.

DIVORCES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. In Australia divorces haro.never been sanctioned. Divorces are scarcely arer known to occur in modern Greece. In Hindostan either party for slight cause may leave the other and marry. In the olden times the Jews had a discretionary power of divorcing their wives. Divorces are scarrely allowed in Thibet, unless with the consent of both parties. Kemarriage is forbidden. In Cochin China, the parties desiring divoroe break a pair of chop-sticks in the presence of witnesses and the thing is done. Among some tribes of American Indians the pieces of sticks given the witnesses of the marriage are broken as a sitn of divorce. H the wife of aTurkoman asks his permission to go out, and he says "go," without addinz "come back again," they are divorced. Two kinds of divorces are granted in Circassia. By the first the parties can immediately marry again; by the second, not for a year. In Liberia if a man is dissatisfied with the most trifling acts of his wife he tears a cap or veil from her face and that constitutes a divorce. Among the Moors, if the wife does not become the mother of a boy, the maybe divorced with the content of the tribe and can marry again. In Siam the first wife may be divorced, but not sold as the others may be. She may claim the first child. The others belong to the husband. In the arctic regions a man who wants a divorce leaves home in anger and does not return for several days. The wife takes the hint and departs. In China divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislike, jealousy, incompatibility of temperament, or too much loquacity on the part of the wife. Among the Tartars if the wife is ill treated she complains to the magistrate, who, attended by the principal people, accompanies her to the house and pronounces a divorce. A Natural Krror. Merchant Traveler. "Halloo!" said a traveling man who struck Washington on inauguration day. "I didn't expect to see you here. What brings you to Washington?" '"Oh, you know I always took a great deal of interest in politics, and this is the 4th of March." "So it is; but there were so many colored people present that it misled me for a moment." '"What did yon think this day was?" "1 took it for the four eleven forty fourth of March." All Explained. f Philadelphia Kecord. Citizcn' Mr. Greatman, I am surprised to fini that you are not in ti e cabinet. All the papers said you would be." Mr. Grcntman "My dear sir, I had no desire to enter the cabinet; no desire at all," Citizen "But you mads a dozen trips to Indianapolis, and " Mr. Greatman "Merely a personal matter, I assure yon, A man that I owed a little money to lives somewhere in Indianapolis, and I was trying to tind him."

A VERT MAD ELEPHANT.

HUNTING WILD BEASTS IN THE EAST. Stories For the Young Folks Condensation George Washington and the HatchetStephen's Text Patience Among the Kids Knotty Problems. When an elephant goes mad, he makea things lively. A company of Englishmen were out on a tiger-ehooting expedition, and all at onco wcro startled by a ehout from ono of their servants: "Kun, run, Sahibs! the tusker haa gone mad. He has broken loose." Most of the company pot out of the beast's way, but one fellow was still in the tent. Over the river wo could see the brute in a frenzy of rage, kneeling on the shapeless heap of cloth, furniture, poles and ropes and digging his tusks with savage fury into the hangings and canvas. "We had little doubt that poor Mac lay crushed to death, smothered beneath the weight of the ponderous animal, or mangled out of all likeness to humanity by the terrible tusks that we could see flashing in the moonlight. It seemed an age, this agony of suspense. Everything showed as clear as if it had been day. Wo saw tho elephant tossing the strong canopy about as a dog would worry a door-mat. Thrust after thrust was made by the tusks into tho cloth, liaising his huge trunk, the brute would scream in tho frenzy of his wrath, and at tho last, after what seemed an age, but in reality was onlv a few minutes, he staggered" to his feet and rushed into the juugle. Just then a smothering groan ßtruck like a peal of joy-bells on our anxious ears, and a mu tiled voice was heard from beneath the folds of the shamiaha: "Look alive, you fellows, and get mc out of this or I shall be smothered!" In trying to elude the first rush of the the elephant his foot hud caught in one of the tent ropes, and the whole falling canopy had then come bodily upon him, hurling the camp-table and a few cane chairs over him. Under these he had lain, able to breathe, but rot daring to stir. His escape seemed miraculous. The cloth had several times been pressed bo close over his face as nearly to stille him. The brute, in one of its savage, purposeless thrusts, had pierced the ground between his arms and his ribs, pinning his Afghan choga or dressing-gown deep into the earth; and he said he felt himself sinking into unconsciousness, when the brute happiiv got up and rushed ofl". "How did vou feel?" I asked. "Well. I can't hardly tell you." "It must have grazed your ribs?" "It did. After that I seemed to turn quite unconcerned. All sorts of funny ideas came trooping across my brain. I could not for the lifo of me help feeling cautiouslessly about for my pipe, which had dropped somewhere near when I tripped on the ropes. I seemed, too, to have a quick review of all tho actions I had ever done, and was just dropping off into a dreamy unconsciousness, after pulling a desperate race acrainst Oxford with myoid crew, when your voice roused me to sensation once more."

Stephen's Text. A few weeks ago a favorite uncle of Stephen Abbey, a lad belonging to this neighborhood, went away, to be gone for an indefinite length of time. Stephen thought the proper thine for him to do was to buy a present for his relative, and the object he set his joung mind upon was a bible. "He has more than one bible now," said Stephen's mother. "And he'll have another when ho gets mine," was the imperturbable reply. The bible was purchased, and then it was decided by the boy to write an "appropriate" verse of scripture on the flyleaf. And these were the significant words selected and written by Stephen : And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath. Ephesians, vi., 4. A Cool Little Head. Chicago Herald. Myself and wife left the house in care of our two little daughters Kosie, twelve j-ears, and Gupta, nine years old one evening not long ago. During our absence some one rani the bell. Gusta opened tho door. There flhe found a rather unprepossessing fellow ofl'ering stove-blacking for sale. Eike a flash it passed through her mind that if he knew their lonely position ho mieht take advantage of it. She said: "Wait till I ask mamma first, and walking into the room asked loud enough for him to hear it, "Mamma, do you want any stove-blacking?" She then told him: "Mamma don't want any." Josle's Ilalr-Dresstnff Idea. Josie, a bright little three-year-old, had just made his first visit to the barber's, lie looked very dissatisfied upon his return, and his mamma asked the reason. "I don't like my hair combed this way, all in curls," he 6aid. "How do you wish it?" queried his mamma. "Why, I want it like Uncle Tom's. I want it in two slices." Josie's admiration of the smooth hair and straight parting suggested the funny comparison of two slices.

Then pass yer buckets one to ev'ry treeWhen yon come to a big 'un, leave two, maybeTime yer 'round to lat tree, first bucket's full. You let, ye, ye've got to hustle and pull In augar-iuakin timd. Some folks think it's fun no work in it To watch the buckets, why, in half-a-minit, Seems like, they're full and runnin' over; It keeps you a humpin', goin from one to t'other, In sugar-makin' time. Then there's the barrols, that must be filled From the buckets and if the water's spilled, We say "durn," or something I'll not deny it If you think it's fun, why, just try it, In sugar-niakin' time. When tho barrels are full then they'ro hauled on a sled To There the water's bilin', and it most makes dead Hosses out o' 'cm, as does the pullin' Thro' the mud, I'll 'low, there's no foolin', In sugar-makin' time. And sometimes you'll jest be bound To stay up all night a stirrin', when all 'roun4 Is ileepin' so peaceful, calm and quiet ; It's mighty lonesome like, out there o' night, In sugar-makin' time. And when you git to bilin down, Then a lot o folks from town Come out a "stirrin' 08" to see; Jv'othin' but botheration is company In sugar-makin' time. For they'll taste and taste, till they'll mighty near Taste up all you've bill, I tell ye that's a dear Way 'o entertainin 'em, but there's a old sayin' 'Bout your loss, bcin' their gain, In sugar-inakin' time. What with stirrin aud bilin', yer as sticky and sweet As any plum-pud lin as ever you eat, Why, 'pears like yer nothin' but candy, But thew ruerlasses; they're dandy ! In sugar-inakia' time. And when at last there's nary other freeze, You gether buckets and spiles from all the trees, And what's the same, as buryin' em in a grave, You rut 'em away where they'll go to stave 'Fore next sugar-makin' time. Columbus, led. Lena Arwine Kcddick. He Wanted Iten She." Chicago Times.J I had occasion to visit McClnnj's book-house to-day with a pentleman who was making accessions to his library. In the rounds the salesman turned to me and asked : "Do you know of a book called 'Ben She? " I said I did not. "A man came in here the other day," continued the salesman, "and asked for 'Ben She.' I asked the name of the author and he had forgotten. I told him I had never heard of it. ... " 'It has been out for many years, said the customer, and I have read many favorable notices about it." "I referred the matter to our head man and he said he didn't know of any such book." "Well, you are a fine house," 6aid the customer, evidently disgusted. "About an hour after he had cone one of our palesmen was heartl to laugh. It was a laugh that rattled the class in the buildinp. He had Ct out in the middle of the floor and held his ides. When he subsided and there had been a half-dozen inquiries as to the cause of his hilarity he said: That fellow meant "Ben liar." ' "Then we all laughed." A Gentle Hint. Boston Courier. "If you don't want me to know where you've been, llenry, when you come home this way," said a wife to her late and somewhat demoralized husband, "you had better run up staira when you are cominpr to bed." "Why sho, m'dear?" "Because by running up stairs you will lose your breath." Stayed Away Too Long. N. Y. Weekly. Stranger "Pardon my my hesitating speech, tut the fact is, I been haf I have been avay so long I have a'most forgot my natif language." l'hiladelphian "Ahl Been many years in Europe I suppose?" "No. I hat living been I haf been living in Chicago." That sense of extreme weariness indicates disordered blood. Ayer's Sarsaparilla purilies it. Catarrh, Cured. A clergyman, alter years of suiTerinqr from that loathsome disease, catarrh, and vainly tryin? every known remedy, at last found a recipe which completely cured and saved him from death. Any äußerer from this dreadful disease sending a self-addressed stamped envelop to Prof. J. A. Lawrence, 83 Warren-st, New York City, will receive the recipe free of charge.
