The Farm and Household. L T e OONDUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS.

Fowis—RKeeping Too Many Varieties ‘Amateurs oftén make a mistake in attempting to keep too many varieties of fowls, Many will get half a dozen or more different kinds and “park” them in small enclosures, where they will get dis ease and be woa‘ihless. Fowls must have range to do well, the lively breeds more than the heavy kinds. Onpe or two kinds well kept are better than a dozen kinds poorly kept. As a general thing tarmers and others should keep two kinds, one sitting and one non sitting breed. The sitters will lay best in winter, non sitters in summer. Brahmas and Spanish will till the bill— Brahmas will lay in fali and winter when the Spanish rest. Moulting 'does not check them 8o much as the non. gitters. When the Brahmas want to rest the Spanish are in full headway. These two kinds ean be easily kept on a farm, the Spanish at large and the Brahmas can be kept in a four foot picket fence. We keep our Brahmas in the garden all the year round ; of course they have a house to rooet in and stay when cold and rainy. Their perches shonld be low, not over two feet high, on movable slats, to be easily cleaned daily. The floor should be covered with sand, saw dust or dry earth, Pine saw dust should not be used. Some will ask, are your fowls kept in the gar déen? Yes, where we raire all garden ‘truck that is used in a'family. They will ‘sometimes pull up onions and fight for them—they know what is healthy —also, will eat cabbages and turnip tops, but will always leave eaough for family use. I assure you there are not: many Lugs in our garden, and the ground does nct get poor. The Spaaish are up early after worms in the fields, and come back in good time “to lay their large, white eggs as regular ag the day comes, when the weather is warm. It is very seldom they desire to sit:. Fowls that bave range and plenty to eat are healthy and profituble. -~ . JoHN BENNETT. ° Barning Soil. In England land is often renovated by what 18 known as “paring and burning.” It 1s mainly applicable to land containing much vegetable substance, and is performed by taking up the top surface to a depth of two inches with a spade, so that it may become air dried. This done, fire is applied and allowed to'smoulder until the whole surface has been burned over. The superfluous organic matter is thus burned out, and caused to yield an im mediate supply of potash to the soil; some of the mineral elements to plant fooa are rendered more soluble, and if the land be clayey the capacity of the soil for absorb. ing and retaining ordinary manures is in creased. At usual prices for labor in this country this method of renovation is not recommended 1n field practice, but tor small plots designed for special crops like carrots, or for garden purposes, the plan is well worthy of adoption. Something similar may also be profitably tried upon reclaiming swamps, melon hole lands, &c, *by skimming the surface with a plow un til the tufts of grass roots and the like can be raked out, This should be burned in heaps under as much of the sull as the slow fire will bear, and the dirt and ashes together distributed upon the surface.

. Thorough Cualtare. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga zette writes : “In-1869 I had a field ot sixteen acres of like fertility. I expected to plant balf the field in corn, but for some reason I did not. In the half that ‘had been plowed for corn,after the ground had been broken, the weeds grew more rapidly. Consequently I broke it again on the 20th of June. On‘ the first of September following I plowed the entire field and deed in wheat. The result was as follows: The half which bad only Treceived a single plowing, yielded per acre thirteen bushels and eighteen pounds; the half that received three breakings yielded per acre twenty three bushels and forty pounds, which made a difference of more than ten bushels per acre. At onc dollar per bushel, this would pay for the extra plowing and leave a net extra profit of six dollars per ucre besides.” . Cooked Meat for Fowls, -Fowls, as Jwell as dogs, become quarrelsome if fed on raw meat, Besides, cook ing mukes it more nutritious When raw it is rather barsh and crude, compared with the mild, natural diet of worms and grubs, which are for the mnst part soft and easily dissolved by digestion. Occasionally, for variety, a little meat may be given raw, Fish, when plenty, is more conveniently given boiled, because in that state the fowls ensily pick every morsel from the boues, and n> mincing is required. Chandl. t’s scraps have the advantage of being already cooked, and on that account, as well as many others, they -are excellent.— Poultry World, . S———— © « Boston Brown Bread. Four coffee cups full of sifted Indian ‘meal, two cups of coarse flour,either wheat or rye; one teaspoonful salt, one teacup " molasses, and poiling water enough to make it as thick as griddle cake batter. ‘When nearly cool, add half a teacup of yeast, either bome made or distillery. Put the mixture into an iron baking dish, cover tightly, and let ¥ stand in a warm place till it cracks over the top (which +should be smoothed over with wet hands before it is placed to rise.) Bake it five or six hours in moderate oven which will not burn the crust to a cinder, i

Chareoal and Sulphur for Hogs, . In every hog pen there should be de }l)'osited weekly a quantity of charcoal. be hog eagerly devours "this substance, and is greatly benefited and trengthencd by its use. It prevents many unpleasant diseades and contributes largely to the fatty secretions. A few spoontuls of pul -verized brimstone or flowers of sulphur, in a little dough, should be administered as- often as once a fortnight to swine while fattening. Soft coal forms a fair substitute for both of these'substances, as it is chiefly carbon, with which some sul phur is combined. ' ¥ . Lime in Crops. There is said to be carried off from the soil nine pounds of lime in twenty-five bushels of oats, and fifteen pounds in thir ty-eight bushels of barley. There are thirty.-five pounds of lime in two tons of rye grass, and one bundred and twentysix pounds in two tons of clover, and one hundred and forty pounds in twenty-five tons of turnips, and two hundred and seventy pounds in nine tons of potatoes. Some soils contain abundance of lime for a thousand years, while others require an occasional application of lime ae a fertiliFrench Rolls or Twist, One quart of lukewarm milk, a tablespoonfal of salt, a teacupful of yeast, and flour enough to make a stiff batter.

' An exchange says: “The übiquitous rat is said to be just now specially troub lesome in Germany. 'ln several of the provinces whole fields of grain and clover bave been devastated by them; .and it isn't safe to try to cut them off with arsenic or phosphorus, because these pleas—ant articles are equally fatal to the hares and other game. But the ingenuity of despair has proved equal to the occasion. The husbandmen now mix plaster dust, aniseed oil and dry wheat, and place it, with plenty of water, in the fields. The animals devour the mixture, are soon very thirsty, and when they have taken a good drink, the plaster sets—not to put too fine a point upon it—solidifies inside the creatures, and so they expire. The plaster used is calcined plaster, such as is employed for hard finish.” :

The Modoe War. On Sunday, April 26, a reconnoitering party of troops, under command of Capt Thomas, was attacked by the Modocs in ambusb, Nineteen soldiers, including Captain Thomas and two Lieutenants, were killed,and t’wemy three were wound ed. The troops were forced to retire.— Few, if any, Modocs were killed. Gen. Sherman, on the 30th ult, received the annexed dispateh trom Gen. Schofield : Lava Beps, April 30.—0 n the 26th Major Green, commanding the camp on the west side-of the Lava Beds, ordered Captain Thomas, of the Fourth Artillery, and a party of Warm Spring Indns, to make reconnoiesance, in a soutbeasterly direction to & point. about four miles from cump. The party left the eamp about twelve o'clock meridian, reacned ‘the designated point, and were resting No Indians bad been seen. Suddeniy the party was fired upon by Indians, and compelled to retire. Subsequently upon searching in the luva chasms, the bodies of Captain Thomas and Lieutenant A P, Howe, of the 4th artillery, and Lieut. Thomas F. Wright, of the 12th infantry, were found. First Lieutenant Arthur Cranston, of the 4th artillery, has uot been found. Itissupposed that he was killed. Lieutenant Geo. M Harris and Acting—Assistant Surgeon B. Semig are seriously, though I hope nct dangerously, wounded. Thirteen enlisted men were killed and wounded. All the officers and part of the men remained together and’ fought like hernes, but the Indians secur ed the advantage of the pasition befere being discovered. ©= The remains of the slain officers. will be taken to Yreka tomorrow The. bodies of four warriors have been found at or pear tbe scene of battle. Captain Mendenhall reports from Burlettsville, and 1s expected to join on the 30th. ' The Indians occupy a position in the rocks about four miles south of their caves, It will be impossible to sur round them with the force at or en route to this place. The circumterence of the lava beds 18 about thirty miles. General Davis is expected to morrow. Alvah Gillett and General Davis started from Yreka for the lava beds this morning.

The Modoc Murderers, : The following description ot the personal appearance of the Modoc murderers is given by a correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin, : _ Captain Jack, the Chief of the tribe, and author of the villainous plot, is a fullblooded Modoc of about thirty years of age, though he looks much clder. He hus & good bead, though like all Indisns the forehead is low and retreating. His complexion is dark, being a bright cop-~ per color, and his eyes are black, full and piercing. His hair is long, banging down to the shoulders, and his face is entirely ‘destitute of beard. His mouth is large, snd its shape Indicates firmness and deter | mination, though it by no means denotes cruelty and baseness, traits which Jack seems to poesess above all others. In manper he is cool, self possessed and very dig vificd. He insists upon being trested with the greatest respect by all with whom bhe comes in contact, and the chiet ruler of forty millionsof people could not be a greater stickler for official etiquette than is this same miserable savage. Be fore this act of treachery he was believed to be the soul of honor. Settlers in the veighborhood who had many dealings with bim said that they never Knew Cuptain Jack to do a mean or base act, vor would he knowingly permitany ‘ member of his band to do one. If any of the ranchmen ever complained of any act ofipeculation or other anpoyance, Jack was sure to visit, punishment upon the head of the offénder. He was elected Chief of the tribe two or three years ago, and 'Squire Steele, of Yreka, act:d as judge of election—a fact which has always made Steele Jack’s fast friend. He was the 'last man in the tribe who, it would be thought, would be guilty of so base an act—an act entirely out of keep ing‘with his past character. "John Schonchin, a brother of “Old Schoncbin,” Jack's predecessor in the office of Chief, is a man about forty years old. He is a lighter colored man tban Jack, but he is a great deal stouter, being broad-shouldered and quite corpulant. His bair is long and straight, and his eyes small and’ expressionless. His face is pleasing in expression, and he is much less determined in look than the younger Chief. Schonchin is a rival to the place occupied by Jack, he ‘believing that he bas a heriditary right to the Modoc throne, Consequently he and Jack have not been on the best of terms, though in their hor. rible plot they seem to . have worked. togeger. , . oston Charlie, the man who shot and instantly killed the Rev. Dr. Thomas, is a young Indian about twenty-two years old. He is practically white, and his complexion quite clear. Hence the name of Boston given bim by the Indian; which signifies: “white” He has no history at all, and. gained no premineace in the tribe until the peace negotiations began, when he acted as messenger, -~ .. 0 - Hooka Jim is one of the worst Indians in the whole tribe. - He was the leader of the band who committed the murders in December, He is young, of not over 21 or 22, but is large and powdrful. He is not a Modoc proper, but belongs to a band of Indians known in Sisklyou as the “Co mo-Twashes,” They are composed of remnants of several tribes, and have long been regarded as thieves and murderers, Two of them are in the lava bed—Hooka -Jim and the “Doctor’—and even Captain Jack was snid to be afraid ot them. This Indian has a bad face. :

Extraordinary Marriage, 3 Of all extraordinary marriages, the one performed near Mercer Pa., a few days since, heads the list. A young couple who were. out. buggy riding were sugdeniiy‘ taken with a desire for mrtrimonyf, and, having met the eccentric Squire of the town, who was accustomed to marrying people on the street corner in broad daylight, and gnder all sorts of odd circum stances, they started for bis office, On their way they were overtaken by a heavy shower, and took refage under 4 capal bridge. The rain cbnt%nnedwith’ no indication of a speedy termination, and the Squire, who favors the principle of :’m‘ proving spare moments, suggested that the ceremony be performed then and thero, The anxious couple '?blmmpfly consented, and the knot was made as fast as it could .mﬁdﬂnﬂffnﬁgﬂvi@ TOOm or &

A WISCONSIN MYSTERY. . ‘A Mad Husband Concealed and Fed by a Devoted Insane Wite. ' MaprsoN, Wis,, April 23.—A most extraordinary circumstance has taken place in_ this ordiparily quiet neighborhood, which should furnish tbe plot for a new. and sensational novel. For some months past & man named Jacob Schmitz has ‘been missing, his sudden departure caus—ing considerable comment among the neighbors, by whom'it was believed that he bad been murdered by his wife. ‘She lived in a state of abject poverty with her little girl, never mentioning ber absent busband’s name. Suspicion was at last aroused, and yesterday the police authorities called at the house. The doors were all Jocked. Mrs, Schmitz appeared at a window, refusing to admit them, saying that her husband bad gone to California last July, charging her to admit no man in his absence, and she did not twish ‘to bave her good pame sullied. She said that she supported herself and her little girl by begging bones from thz butchers. Then going into more particulars she said that Schmitz had left her in July to go to California. She bad not heard from him or of him till early in August, when a stranger, whom she had never seen be: fore, and whose name she did not know, came to the house and told her that Jacob had been murdered in California, and that _bis bones were hidden in a’cellar. Having said this, the stranger departed, going.she knew not where. She added that she was soon going to marry again | and then would leave Madison. The ofs ficers retired, but posted a watch on the house. and a few hours afterward saw the woman and her little girl leave the house, appurently prepared for a long journey. - Bott: were arrested and locked up ; then the sheriff and two officers, armed with a search warrant, started for the hounse, ex pecting to find the bones of the murdered wnp concealed somewhere wbout the premises Breaking in a window they en—tered the house, when, with a howl like that of a fiend, the man'whose body they had come to seek burst upon them from an adjoiulug roam. Schmitz was armed with an uxe sud a koife, and assaulted one of tue officers with the former wen= pon. The blow, fortupstely, was not weli aimed, the weapon glancing from the ot ficer's forebead, and the maniac was soon overpowered and bound. Schmitz's appearance showed that he had eaten but little for months, as be was gaunt, emaciated and hollow eyed. There 18 po doubt but that he went mad last summer, and that his wife, unwilling to make bis misfortune public and bave him removed to an asylum, has kept bhim locked ‘up all this time, feeding bim -as she could from the scanty donations of the charitahle. Since the two bave been placed in jail Mrs. Schmitz’s mind has given way, and she, too, is a raving maniac. . C.O A

E . Carl Schurz. ~ The recent departure of Carl Schurz for Europe, where ‘he intends to visit the i principal cities of his native countiy, has recalled some cf the leading events in his earlier carecr. He now returns asan hon“ored guest. toa land from which he was once baoished - forever, with the penalty of death banging over him if *be should: ever return. Schurz took part in the Lib eral Revolution of 1848, following the bent of Republican’ ideas which he had acquired in his stndent life, spent at Cologne and Bonn. . He was particularly active in the defense of Rastads, und for this was banished. After spending some time in England, he returned to Germany in spite of the fate that awaited him in cage of discovery, for the purpose of liberating a favorite professor of liberal ideas, who had been imprisoned on-politi~: cal grounds. Schurz succeeded in assisting the escape of his friend in the most daring and romantic manner, and then fled to England again. . He came to this zountry in 1852, and at once assumed a leading position in American publie life, It was less than tep years later that he. was gent to Spain as-the American Min ister—a position which he resigned in or der to take active part in the war against the Rebellion. His career since thsit time is universally familiar. .In 1866, Bis marck, evidently in deference to the high position which Schurz had obtained in American statesmanship, caused the sen tence of banishment to be revoked, and extended a cordial invitation to the dis tinguished exile to revisit ' Germany. There is no doubt that Schurz will every’ where: receive -an acknowledgement of the ability, industry and steadfastness wkich alone could have secured for him, a stranger in a strange land, so exalted a position as he holds in Ameriea. It is a matter for sincére congratulation, and worthy of ncte, that Mr, Schuiz has not drawn his “back pay” with which to defray the expenses of his European tour.

A Ghastly Spectacle. Among the most remarkable incidents of the spring freshets- is that which occurred on the Arkansas river, several miles below Little Rock. A cemetery on the river’s bank was overflowed anda washied until its entire surfaze was swept, away with the resistless torrent. As the water rapidly wore away the. bunk, the coffins were-unearthed and floated off, the rempants of many bodies, some of which had been buried for twenty yeais, were exposed, and the sight is described by the local journals as most horrible. Five hundred coffins have been' disinterred. The people of the neighborhood’ have been trying to recover the bodies, but have found very few which can be recog~ mzed; - ; ! e : + An incident similar to this was réported in Amdroscoggin county, Maine; a year or two ago. An icegorge in asmall stream ‘diverted ité channel through ‘a cemetery,and many bodie swere unearthed and were carried away with the ice. Bat in Maine the changes of channel which the streams make are but terrporiry 84d of slight consequence. In the valleys west of the Mississippi river these changes are frequent and somewhat regular. The cemetery through which the river now flows, for example, was more than a half a mile from the river’s bank when it was laid out. The change has been gradual,and it appears singular'that a result so horrible was not provided against, .

. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, An Insane Mother Chokes and Roasts ‘Her Children, ' . ~The details make the New York tragedy more awful than the brief telegraphic announcement indicated. Says a dispatch : Tn an humble tenement house in this city, to day, was ‘epnacted a tragedy as borrible and shocking as any recorded in'the apnals. of religious magia—the murder of two infant children by their own mother. About 6 o'clock in the evening, George Hennessy, a respectable mechanic, father of the children, arrived home from his day’s labor, and found :the door of his apartments locked. After waiting some time, he attempted to force the lock, when his wife, Annie, opened the door. Entering the room he saw his daughter, Teresa, a child aged 7, crouching in a corner, and with ber hand covering ber face. In the middle of the room stond a wash-tub,. and in it the dead bodies of his two youngest children, George and Francis. He torned to his wife and cried, “My God, Aonie, what s this?” “Hush,” she answered, wildly, “don’t tell any one. ’'Tisall right, We'll be happy bye and bye.” ; - The unfortunate man called in a neighbor, and then went for a doctor. Medical aid was, of course, useless, as the children had been two hours dead. Subsequent examination showed tha’ the little innoceunts had been choked to death, and atterward roasted on a stove, to which portions of tbeir flesh and bair adhered. The bodies presented a spectacle too revolting for deseription. . The.mother was conveyed 1o an ambu~ lance to Bellevue Hospital, to wait the result of the coroner’s inguest. There is no doubt that she is insane. The husband states that she bas been for months a vic« titm of religious mania. :
