Goop crops for the farmers this vear, says the Steuben Republican, will 3o more towards alleviating the distressed bard times than anything else iu the world. Whatever is raised from fhe ground, after paying the outlay smd costs of raising and taking care of it, is 3 clear gain to the raiser and to the country. It depletes no one part of the people or the country to give to the other, but is a positive addition to the incomd of the country. With proper economy and a careful t-usbanding of time, resources and incommne, the farmer is indeed happy and independent when he has good crops.

Urmuazise THE BoNes.—The bones accomulating on the farm are of great walee when dissolved for use on the i-md Bones are, in concentrated form, says the Indiana Farmer, the wiery richest fertifizer, but Q;rery farm«r s not possessed of a mill to grind them into powder for use. They may %« dissvived by mixing the proportion «f a galion of sulphuric acid to five galSoms of water, into which the bones, after being broken up fine, may be piaced. When so dissolved it is pure superphosphate, and must be used sparingly. The acid must be used with great care, as it is very danger-

ous to bandle. The bones may also ‘be dissolved with unleached wood ashes, after being broken up fine, but this takes longer. They can also be

‘@ssolved when crushed and mixed “with earth and manure, and kept con}sz:uy moist. Either of the latter ' snethods are the best for farmers gen=iy to adopt, as they are less dan_gerous and not soexpensive. All the

fi-a-u that accumulate on the farm " conld thus be utilized with little labor or time, and would repay largely for the time thas consuined. 3

SapTr For CABBAGE—A farmer signing himself Portage Township, sends the following t 0 the South Bend . Tribume: “Havingonce read that salt was good for the development of cabI:qa. I gave it a fair trial, and am well pleased with the result. They were much more crisp, better flavored, - and I think when I opened the hole _ this spring they kept better. My plan s this: A few days after setting out the plants, and when they are damp, «ither after a rain or when the dew is on, I take a 2 small dish of salt, and walking among the rows, sprinkle a pinch of salt on the centre of each piant. When the leaves begin to grow I repeat the salting, and when the center of the leaves begin to form the head 1 apply salt again, scattering it ‘over the leaves. After this I look | Them over occasivnally and if I find plants that do not head well or appear diseased I sprinkle the salt over freely. Tuis will save all such plants. A ~guart of salt is sufficient for five hundred plants in a season, although more Fomr farmer readers to give it a trial.”

* LavE SToCcK.—QOlie of the most en‘couraging events of late has been the «peming of an export trade of beef aasd mution io England. If this succoeds and grows, as DOW seems proba-

ble, It will provide a way gub of our stead of growing and expefting grain, ‘we shall grow it and feed if ourselves, and export the produce.” This will leave our farms in much better plight. To meet this new demand; our stock must be .immveﬁ'jw't#y by the use of pure bred bulls and rams, and increased in quantity by sparing the heifer calves and ewe lambs from slaughter. Brood mares, if rightly managed, may come in after the spring work is over, and can raise a colt before tha fall work comes on. If the colt comes in June the mare is well able to plow and harrow until the middle of May, and will be ready for work again by the time haying begins. But at this season a brood mare's worg should besteady, although it may be hard. Violent, jerky and long continued work is what injures her. As the change of feed comes on care must be exercised in regard to young animals, It is best to turn them onto grass for an hour or two daily before the pasture becomes full. Well gonditioned yearlings are in more danger than: poorer ones, and with them. greater care should be taken. When a horse’s coat is shedding, the use of the curry comb should not be neglected. There is then an irritation of the skin, which is allayed by brushing or carding; besides, the loose hair is removed and does not rub off on to the clothes. A feaspoonful of sulphur daily, to every animal, for a day or two, would be helpful.

- FEEDING CALVES.—A writer in the National Live Stock Journal for April. says there are many considerations which prevent the half million dairymen in the country from letting calves run with cows, and that artificial methods of feeding are a necessity.— His views upon this point are so plainly sensible that we quote from his article. After remarking that the natural method is only praeticable among the breeders of pure-blooded and high-priced stock, and that where milk is valuable it is quite unnecessary to feed new milk longer than two months, he says: After that period the calf may be fed upon the skim milk and linseed or flaxseed gruel, with an excellent chance of growing a prize animal. In two months the calf will bave made an excellent start and be ready for the g;oderat_e diet. 'And if the calf is to be taught to drink it is better to do this when ten days or two weeks old. It will learn easier at that age than later, and the cow will give more milk through the season than if the calf is permitted to suck longer. The milk being fed warm from the mother, the calf will make a growth not perceptibly different from one that sucks. This blooded calf should have the free;irun of a dry yard, with a little hay or grass to eat, that it may early develop its first stomach and chew its cud. ‘A small field of ‘grass in summer is still better. When the time comes for feeding skim milk, the ration may be made about as nutritious as the new milk by adding to flaxseed gruel, made by boiling a pint of ffaxseed and a pint of oil meal in ten to twelve gquarts of water. Mix this in equal parts with skim milk ‘and feed blood warm. ILet the calf have its fill twice per day, at regular times, until six months old. During this time teach it to eat a few oats, and in case of a tendency to scour, give, for a meal or two, in the milk,a quart of coarse wheat flour,sometimes called by farmers canel. It will be perceived that the oil of the flaxseed will make good the loss of cream in the milk—in fact, it is aration as rich as milk itself, and we have seen calves faised upon it quite the equal of calves running with the dam. We have also used flaxseed and pea meal to make the gruel to mix with the skim milk, and it has proved an excellent combination. . o

THAT unhappy specimen of belligerent humanity, the fiery Wendell Phil lips,takes a very gloomy view of the political situation. Inarecent interview with a reporter of the N. Y. Herald he declared that Hayes has sold out the republican party to the South. On the one side, he avers, the Southern representatives agreed to stop filibustering and let Hayes be counted in. On the Hayes side his friends- agreed to withdraw. the troops and recognize Nicholls and Hampton as Governors. In his gloomy vaticinations ‘Wendell Phillips sees a solid South with the next Congress and the next Presidens democratic as the result of the betrayal of the Republicans by. Hayes. Then we will bave “millicns added to the national debt in the shape of pensions to Southern soldiers, loans to Southern States and railways, payment of half the State debts” with many other fearful portents of evil which darken the vivid imagination of the radical seer. | In this vision of judgment he sees “hell open and Lamar and Hill put off their company clothes and their disguise of good behavior.” e T , With more that’s horrible and awiul, - Which e’en Lo name would be unlawial.

“Sarvival of the Fittést.” The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr. Darwin, the tireless investigator of nature and her laws, is as applieable in determining the tate of medicines as in that of animal species.

: A Row .im Court. : A pompous young lawyer went over to Alamedia the other day, totry a case in a Justice’s Court there, and presently got into a ‘squabble with the Judge on a point of law. His' Honor decided against the lawyer, who vehemently protested that all law wasoutraged, and that every legal angel in Heaven would shed his feathers at such an interpretation of the statute.- ; “Well, Mr. Bigedd,” drawled the Judge, “p’r'ai)s yer right an’ p'r'aps e ain’t, but I'll decide it that way any“Do you mean to say, your Henor, that you will not change your mind on that point ¥” demanded Mr, Bigedd, pale with rage. . | “That’s about what it 'mounts to, syoung feller.” ; “Then, may it please the court, I beg to be fined ten dollars.” “What for?”" ey ot “For contempt, your . Honor, for I have the greatest contempt for this court.” 2

“Well, young feller,” said the Judge, leisurely picking his “teeth, “the contempt is mutual, an’ as I would have to lend you the coin to pay the fine, I guess we’ll let things stand as they are.” . “Sir!” cried Mr. Bigead, springing up and striking an attitude, “Sir! you are but a political accident, while I am a lawyer—a lawyer, sir] and I shall remain a lawyer forever. You’re a bilk, sir!” iy ‘The court was adjourned with a bang, and after‘an exciting session in the back yard, the Judge calmly resumed his seat, and Mr. Bigedd returned to the eity with his head much increased in size. : , Sl - W———c e s If you are not certainthat your subscription to THE BANNER is paid fora little in advance, send a greenback to the publisher without delay. : ——— > E—— o ‘Hold on, Boys., ' ' | Hold on to your tongue when you are just ready to swear, lie or speak harshly, or an improper word.

Insanity Resulting from Cold on , Measles. ; A remarkable and distressing case is reported to the 7'ritbune by Dr. Partridge. A man by the name of Alex. Custer, came here from Ohio, about three weeks ago ;in search of work, which he finally obtained on the farm of Mr. Charles Smith, five miles south of the city. A few days ago he was taken with the measles and broke out quite freely, in which condition he took cold, by which he was affected so seriously that his mind was deranged. He was very homesick during the first stages of his ‘illness, and since his insanity it has been extremely difficult to keep him from running away. Despite all the watchfulness that has been exercised he escaped from the house Friday, and leaping two picket fences started off onarun; but a neighbor seeing him escaping shouted' at him to stop. He halted a moment, then turning around, ran back, leaped the two fences and re-en-tered the house. The best of care is being bestowed upon him, but whether returning strength will restore his reason or no#, is uncertain.—South Bend: Tribune.

Short Crops in England. Under date of April 14th, an intelli§ gent London correspondent writes: “We shall not grow half enough in England this year to feed the mouths at home. A large part of the country is still under water. I was through Sussex ‘last week. It is a most depressing sight to see the wretched state of the land. Farmers ought to have got their seed in long age, but, although it may be wise to cast bread upon the waters, it's of no use to fling seed there. A farmer showed me a row of fields on a hill-side near Lewis, which he had sown one day, and the next morning he found the seed in the turnpike road. Heavy rains during the night washed it all down. What sort of harvests ‘are we likely to have with such beginning as this ?”

Serions Result of Pairing a Corn. The wife of Street Commissioner Zigler is having a serious time, all on account’ of paring‘a corn. She used a Tazor for that purpose on Friday, cutting alittletoo close and drawing a few drops of blood. She however thought ‘nothing of it, and replaced her gaiter and aceompanied a friend in a walk to the green house. Her foot meantime began to pain her, and during the night and next day it swelled to double its usual size, the poulticing which was applied failing to allay the inflammation. Saturday night such intense suffering was experienced by Mrs. Zigler that it was feared she would have lockjaw, and strong opiates were found necessary to afford her any relief. She is now much better, but remains still unable to sustain au; wei%ht‘ on the injured foot.—South Bend Tribume.

The letter says: “Your sterling integrity, distinguistied ability and long 'parhamentary expeiience peculiarly fit you for this exaited station, and we trust that the dewocratic meinbers of Congress from every section uf the country will promptly recognize the propriety of your election as Speaker of the House of Representatives.” The letter is signed by every democratic senator and member of the house except a few who are abseut from thecity. . i I M et SHOOTING AFFAIR.«Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Harkinsior Hawkins, of Butler, have not dwelt together [in that amicable state’ which should characterize man and'wife. Some months ago a separation was effected, and it was supposed that Samuel had’left the country. Returning last week, he found that his wife was absenton a’ visit in Canada,and that she was about to apply for a divorce. This seemed to incense hiin, and he followed her to the residence of her brother, near ‘Sparta, Ontario, ‘where, last Friday night, he shot her through the shoul der with arevolver.

It bas been confidently predicted from time to time that business depressions having reached its lowest point, a marked improvement was to be expected. It was thought that the numerous failures had weeded out the rotten concerns, and that what remained were in a healthierconditiof. This does not appear to be the teaching of the statistics. The facts show that the number of failures during the past 3 months have exceeded that of the corresponding ‘3 months of last year, though the amount of liabilities is somewhat less. The weeding process is stillgoing on vigorously.—Huntingson Democrat. :

The Indianapolis Sentinel has been looking at some of the facts disclosed by the recent official investigations in the east of life insurance. It has found that twenty New York life insurance companies have expended over one millica eight hundred thousand doliars, to pay the yearly salaries of their officers alone, or an average of over ninety thousand dollars per company. It found that the gross income of forty companies of this country annually for several yeais past has averaged over $108,000,000 and that of this sum only. one quarter has been paid for losses; in other words that the cost of insurance has been about one-fourth of what has been paid for it. ‘

Mr. Darwin tells a story, as an example of the reasoning powers of a monkey that was scratched by a pet kitten. At first Jocko was immensely amazed. Recovering from his surprise, he set at work to discover the lecation of the claws.
