‘The Farm and Rousehold. "'Woop ashes are among the most valuable fertilizers for the fields and orchard. Their valuable properties depend upon the potash, phosphoric acid, lime and ‘magnesia which they contain. Their money value as a fertilizer is 40 and 50 cents per bushel.

- SAVE THE STRAW.—The #)ur"ning of straw at threshing time, says the Rural World, ‘is a waste and a sin. It is generally practiced hereabouts in the wheat districts. Properly ricked up, with very little winter pasturage it will carry cattle through ttxe winter, in this climate in fine order. It wil pay any farmer to buy young cattle and let them feed upon this straw through the winter. He can’t invest his money so well in scarcelylanything else. Much manure is thus made and saved. The fertility of the'seil is thus Kept up. The cattle can’' be sold in spring at a large advance, or pastured and: sold during the summer, |or kept over another ‘winter in the same way, with a little additional feed, and then turn off in thespring for beef. Think of this, straw-burners. ¥

Tune POLAND CHINA Hog.—The Poland China hog is a cross of the Poland, big China, Irish-grazier and Byfield Berkshire, and has now become as popular as the Berkshire. The description of a perfect Poland’ China, adoptedl by the National Swine Breeders association, is as follows:: “Long in the body, short legs, broad, straight back, deep sides, flankihg down on the legs, very broad, full, square ham and shoulders, small, drooping ears, short head and wide between the eyes, spotted, of dark color, hardy, vigorous and prolific. As compared- with the Berkshires, the most notable differences are drooping instead of erect ears, less dish in the face, greater liability to be marked with spats, Tibs not 80 sprung out, aid in very fat pigs not so much sway at the back.” 'BENJ. FRANKLIN has the crediv of being the first person in this /country who made use of gypsum, or-land plaster as a fértilizer. The manner in which he used it may seem somewhat egotistical. He sowed it in the presence of a number of skeptical farmers on a portion of a fleld of grass, on a hill side, in the form of large letters, spelling his name. After a few weeks the grass upon which the plaster was sown so far outgrew the rest that the name, B. Franklin, could be plainly read for a long distance. From that time there was no doubt in the minds of those who knew thesecret, of the value of land:plaster asa fertilizer for grass. A moderate application will iricrease the yield from one-fourth to one-half. It is now offered by the manufacturers in Michigan at a very ‘low price, and will no doubt be extensively used by our farmers assoon as its merits become better known.

Faxcy CHICKENS.—The editor of _the Selinsgrove T'imes comes out with -this emphatic pronunciamento: “The fancy chicken business is magnified into great importance by those engaged in it, and large profits are realized every year; yet-thereis no doubt that the old fashioned and common kind of chickens kept by farmers generally “are in every respect the best and most profitable.. If from time immemorial ‘the people throughout the 'country -would have no other than these fancy ‘kinds’ of chickens, such as Brahmas, Shanghais, Cochins, etc., etc., and some chap would come along and for the first time introduce our common breed of chickens, théy would be looked upon as “just the thing” and as embracing all the good qualities that a chick“en ought to have, and everybody wo'd ~raise them in preference to the fancy kinds which by long usage had become only commen. The whole truth in a nutshell is, that there are no better chickens in the world than our common chickens, and which by care and adittle study might be improved some as well as the fancy stock.” ' it

~ CLOVER.—No matter how mismanaged, the Country Gentleman says, clover is a benefit, and whatever else he may do, the farmer who grows clover is making 'his. farm better.—— What, then, might not the result be, if the same.care were taken of the clover fleld as of the other crops? ' It does not need cultivating, the long, deep-reaching roots mellow and pulverize the soil as nothing else can.' If the clover grows thriftily, the top acts as a mulch, seeding the ground and keeping if moist. ‘A crop of two tons or more of clover, whether plowed under or cyt for hay, can hardly fail to leave the soil better than it was ‘before. It should be the farmer’s Aaim to grow the largest possible crops ‘ ofclover. A slight dressing of gypsum ~-100 pounds per acre in early spring ~—often produces wonderful results. - But if a farmer has a little well rotted manure, the scrapings of barnyards, fall is the time to apply it.~Clover is often injured by freezing and thawing in winter, and a very slight covering of manure will afford a.great deal of protection, Rich earth from corners of fences is well worth drawing a short distance on young -clover, provided the ground is hard and firm. If the field is: not mowed ‘next season, coarser mianure can be

Tne CATTLE TRADE~It is good to choice cattle' that are in strong demand and that are particularly wanted ab strong prices. It is true, an exchange remarks, that medium and low grades may for a time work in sympathy as to the relative prices to alimited extent with the better qualities; yet we consider it altogether possible that the market for these low grades of cattle may at any time become depressed, or even demoralized, by an over-supply of such cattle, ‘while the market for really good ripe cattle may remain firm. It is never SUERA Ty SNy the sasin. In al ’ ’ Mﬁg‘%ﬁﬁmﬁﬁé%ﬁﬂ@%ﬂy@;%mfi *; e ﬂé*www:,.s r@%%#@h

‘them to market. They are a kind of cattle that are never in fayor with any kind of dealers, and in nine cases out of ten such cattle have to be sold in the consuming markets for less ‘than they are worth in the fields from ‘which they have been taken in the ‘country. Ifiis our opinion at the preslent, time that all cattle of this kind ishould»be kept in the country until they are made really fat. We expect to see a heavy run of cattle from Wyoming, Colorado, Texas and the Indian country during the coming fall season, and we hope to see them' all come in good condition.

- VALUE OF STABLE MANURE.—StabIe manure generally sells to market gardeners and other people who want a little for private gardens at $2 to $3 a two horse load. No farmer can afford to pay over $1 a load and draw it two or three miles, unless it be wanted for some better paying crop, than is generally grown on farms, If afarmer can not buy stable manure at $1 to $1.50 a load, he had better not buy any, but make what Le can on his farm, and try turning under green crops, as buckwheat, clover, ete., to keep his farm in good condition, growing more grass and less grain and hoed * crops. * Some farmers recommend borrowing money to buy manure rather than attempl to grow crops with .an_insufficient supply. A late writer says: *“Any man who has capital enough to own valuable Jand, cannot well be too poor to buy the fertilizers needed to make it productive. If he cannot do btherwise, he may safely borrow the money till his crop is harvested and sold. - When a farmer can-

not get enough stable manure, as is the case with all farmers, buying some kind of commercial fertilizer is the alternative to doing- pothing.’’ That is doubtful, - How can a farmer be assured, of “safety” in borrowing money to buy manure? Suppose the season is ‘very unfavorable, as by a great drouth, and his crops fail, what then? No, don’t do it; but keep more live stock, turn everything into manure that you possibly can, save your hen manure, as it islwort_h' as much as pure guano, keep all the pigs you can, as their manure is very strong, throw weeds into their pen to keep the manure from drying, with turf, muck, or anything that will ‘increase the bulk of its contents; and thus try to avoid the necessity of buying manure.

DoN'T Borrow MoNEY.—Perhaps few men have seen the troubles that farmers have been brought to in consequence of mortgaging their farms» more than I have; and I warn my readers to beware of the pit they dig to fall into, by borrowing money to enable them to purchase stock, ot to cultivate their farms better, and more extensively. There never was a time within the present century when farmers needed to be so careful not to run in debt as at the present time. It will do for young men, with but little money, to buy really good farms, and run in debt for a part of the purchase money; but a farmer who is out of debt—owns his homestead free of mortgage—would be very unwise to put even a small mortgage on it. No matter what the condition is, it would be better to cut down expenses to the utmost degree. When a farmer is out of debt; he-can, on a tight pinch, support his ‘family on a very small income. His cows, pigs and fowls, with the breadstuffs he can grow, without any hired help, will supply him with food. . Then by keeping from 50 to 100 hens,. he can buy his groceries with ‘the surplus eggs; and with a few pigs fattened, a few calves, a little surplus hay and grain, he can clothe his family; and thus avoid mortgaging his farm—the dehth knell, in most cases. of a farmer’s prosperity and peace of mind. Every farmer who finds it hard.to “make both ends meet,”. and has girls and boys growing up, should have a patch of strawberries, raspberries or of other small fruits, for the children to weed and pick, and also to sell in the village, if not far off. Tet the rising generation among farmers be utilized, by being thus employed at times in somze profitable and pleasant work.. = BX. P

© Miseries of the Miners. Harrisburg Patrfot. . = © If the strike is longer and more obstinate in the anthracite regions the reason is that there is not in-the United States a class of workingmen in such grievous distress as the miners. It may be doubted whether the condition of English. and Welsh miners was ever worse than that of the anthTacite miners of Pennsylvania at this time. A correspondent of the New York: Tzmes writing from Scranton gives an appalling account of the condition of the miners in the region of which that city is the centre. Wages scarcely average twenty dollars a month for industrious workingmen, many of whom miust support large families on this amount. When the frequent stoppages of work are taken into account the monthly wages often fall below that sum. An Irish miner with ten persons looking to him for support said he had not known such want since 1863. A German laborer in a breaker said the largest amount he had made in two years was $l5 and it was usually $lO and $l2. The miners are all S 0 poor that they ecan not help eaeh other, and “many of them are very proud even in their rags.” 1t was hard to get them toadmit they were “living” on mush alone when that was the case, but neighbors would tell of privations suffered. The attempts to hide abject poverty were sometimes heroic. The correspondent was shown a man “who had been known to take his dinner pail into the shaft, day after day, just as other men did, when the form was an empty pretense, and his pail did not contain so much as even a ecrust.” What astonished him was “the uniform cheerfulness of these people even when they were recalling and recounting their most painful experiences.” Although noneof them were sanguine of better treatment “they were all convinced that some time or another a sense of justice would compel the corporations to give them consideration.”

Many are the causes assigned for the condition to which labor has been reduced in the anthracite region. Corporate tyranny has sported for years 'with the interests of the miners and the consuming public. The corporations have sometimes combined to stop work, and at other times they have dictated the amount of production for the year, When the combination was completed the ratesof wages weré reduced and the price of » coal was advanced. Rates of wages rarely advanced with the cost of coal as this would have been a concession of the advantage of the monopoly over the miner and the consuming public. Not the least of the iniguities practised upon honest labor in the mining regions is the system of “company stores,” There is scarcely .a working mine in Luzerne county that has not one of these stores at the mouth of the pit. . These stores supply the miners with provisions on pass books or company orders, and when pay day comes-little money is ever seen. The earnings are consumed in advance at the store. Many of these stores are kept by poor relations of the mine owners, who do not seruple to assist in thus plundering the miners of a portion of their wages. Uil

The B. & O, Goes to Law. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad company has filed with the clerk an appeal from the decision of the county commissioners, at the June term, incorporating the town of Walkerton. The ground of the appeal is that the company has ten acres of land, with side-tracks, station house, etc;, within the boundaries of the town thus incorporated, subject by the act of incorporation to taxation for town purposes, which . said ten acres of land were not included in the original plat of Walkerton. -In other words the railroad objects to Walkerton’s drafting the company’s property into the corporation for the purpose of getting taxes from it for town purposes. The case will be docketed for trial at the October term of court.—South Bend Tribune. \ i

BURIED ALIVE.— A certain man in the north part of Lagrange couaty, possessed of a remarkable degree of -credulity, hearing that if one chances to get in too close proximity to a polecat, burying his clothes would extract the perfume, and for a like reason, if" one’s body could be buried for a time, its diseases would be !extracted, he ~ordered his son to get a spade and dig. The son did so, and when-the hole was: ‘big enough, the old man got in and the son shoveled in till the dirt reached the old man’s neck, and then left him to purify while he went about the business of the farm. After a few hours the young man returned, ‘and finding the old man nearly dead with exhaustion, shoveled him out. It is neeedless to say he came out a wiser though a weaker man, and says that the next time he’s buried it will be to stay.—Lagrange Register. :

In the line of matrimonial eccentricities Kentucky can beat the world. Romantic elopements are miore common - there than quiet marriages. Very old men marry very young girls and very old women very young hoys. But the Tatest eccentricity recorded surpasses all others, being nothing less than the marriage of a young man to his grandmother. A Nelson county paper records ‘the case. . The groom, twenty-five years of age, is the son of a well-known Baptist preacher. Some years ago his grandfather died, leaving a widow of forty-five years, and now these two souls beat as one. We do not believe, however, that the practice of marrying one’s grandmother will become general. , :

A correspondent of one of the scientific journals writes as follows: “There is a method which I have adopted in my own house to cool the temperature of my ;room during the hot weather, and that is to hang a sheet or blanket down outside the open window where the sun may be shining, The sheet is wet, and the evaporation of the water produces a deliciously cool apartment. The sheét is kept damp by having a vessel filled with water above the top of it outside, and a piece of flannel arranged to form a siphon and touching several portions of -the shéet. The water gradually empties out of the vessel and may be replenished if necessary.

- THE OLD, OLD STORY, . AmlaTrampy To the Editor of the New York Sun: i Am I atramp? If not,whataml? The Herald, the other day, placed nearly all the anfortunates svho are out of work 'under the name of tramps. I have been a salesman, getting a fair salary, at one time over $l,BOO per year. I sold a good many goods. I earned every dollar I got. Bad times came. I got out of employment. I then got hold of several articles to sell on commission. g walked all over New York and suburbs. Some days I made $35; some not a cent. Times grew worse this year. llf cost me $1 per day to live and pay expenses of car fare, ferry, etc. I just managed to get through the week for a while. Then times got worse. The competition was so great that I could not make fifty cents per day. I went to a cheap lnging house—twenty-five cents per night—and a yery lively bed I got at that. oL I made fifty cents per day, I had twenty-five cents for lodging and twenty-five cents for meals. Some days, when I made nothing, I had to walk the streets at night without sleep, and then walk the streets by day without food, except a cracker and a piece of cheese I picked up in some corner saloomn, till one day 1 was 80 hungry I went into a' well-known restaurant and said to the proprietor, about 11 a. m., “I wish you would give me a breakfast, lam dead broke.” “Oh, I can’t. afford it,” says he. I turned about and marched into the street. That restaurant keeper is rich, and is known all over New York. 1t was the first time I ever asked anybody in New York for something to eat. : :

That night, tired and hungry, I went to a station house to sleep. The captain saw I was no bummer, and told his men to put me in their sitting room. Ispenta very fair night dozing on a lounge. I must tramp about New York daily five to ten miles or more. 1f I make a few dimes during business kours I am sure of a bed and something to eat. Otherwise, I suffer for;want of sleep and from ‘hunger. Is there any placein New York where aman thus situated can get a meal and a bed when he is really penniless ? L know of none. Now are there not others in the same fix as myself? No situation is to be had; I can not do hard work; I am -not a young man; have no home nor friends able to help me to a dollar. Am I a tramp? v AN OLD NEW YORK SALESMAN:

- Interest on Money. Chicago Tribune, s . Mr. 1.. B. Sidway, President of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, has called our attention to an able article in the Edinburg Scotsman of July 27, on cattle farming in Illinois. In it, in speaking of the cost of a steer 3 years old, the writer adds, “thie interest at 10 per cent,—the ordinary rate of interest in America.” In a note upon the subject Mr. Sidway says: “The article in the Scotsman of July 27 on cattle farming in Illinois, while tolerably correct, was evidently written by a person having but little if any personal knowledge of the business, and 1n some important particulars is calculated to create erroneous impressiong. Among other errqrs it states 10 per cent as the ordinary rate of interest in America, while as a matter of: fact 10 per cent is the rate in the newer settled States only. Probably 80 per cent of all' the money loaned in the United States is at not over 7 per cent per annum. In Tlllinois, where the profitable uses for mongy are m%re numerous than in the Eastern and Middle States, thereis an abundant supply offering at 7@B per cent for business purposes or on long time to good men on approved securiy ,

As Mr. Sidway is President of ‘one of our leading banks, his statements may be taken as authority on this subject. So far ascan be judged from the experience of several years past, and the present and prospective condition of the country, the time is past except in cases of a financial crash when “10 per cent will be the oerdinary interest” in Illinois or any of the older States. !

“Fight It Out.” : A story is told of a daughter of a prominent person now in the lecture field, which is peculiarly interesting and suggestive of unconscious wisdom. A genfleman was-invited to the lecturer’s house to tea. Immediately on being seated at the table, the little girl astonished the family circle and the guest by the abrupt question: - “Where is your wife?” : Now the gentleman having been recently separated from the partner of his life, was taken so completely by surprise that he stammered forth the truth: * : “I don’t‘know.” oy “Don’t know!” replied the enfant terrible. *Why don’t you know ?” Finding that the child persisted in her interrogatories, despite the mild reproof of her parents, he concluded to make a clear breast of the matter and have it over at once. So ke said with a calmness which was the result of inward expletives:: ' “Well, we don’t live together; we think, as we don’t agree, we’d better not.” He stifled a groan as the child began again, and darted an exasperated look at her parents. But the little torment would not be quieted, until she exclaimed: b “Can’t agree! Then why don’t you fight it out, as pa and ma do?” : “Vengeance ismine,” laughingly retorted the visitor, after “pa” and “ma” exchanged looks of holy horror, followed by-the inevitable rear.—New Haven Regigter, . .. . i by
