Needle- Making at Redditch.

Redd itch, in Worcestershire, and Aix la-Chapoile, in Germany, maybe regarded «*- Lk» Mats of Um> needle trade of the whole world, comparatively.tew needles being made elsewhere. English needles are, however, more in request Uian those of any other cotustep© As the needles undergo a considerable number of processes, from the rough steel wire to the highlypolished hand instrument, which is not yet superseded by its machine competitor, perhaps some account df their manufacture may not be found uninteresting. Jrhe steel wire: which must he of excellent quality, being hand-drawn for best needles, is tirst <nt into length* capable of makipir two Readies ea«h. This operation ifi performed craier m bundtfcs, by means of hand-shears, or four at a time, in selfacting machines, the shqars) of which are worked by an eccentric, while the wire is fed np tq them- The two-kpgth , pieces of wire are then formed intp bundles from three to inchesjn (liumetly.accprdjng to the size of the “wire, and neld together by a wood fire. When sufficiently soft, the wires, still in bundles, are rolled one over another by the aid ofj what is termed the smooth file,’and thus mide tt> straighten each other. The next operation, that,of gqfotlng on grind-stones, formerly invol|*oL greater loss of life than any other industrial peculation. 'The needles (twenty-five at a time) were made to rotate against the stone, between the fingers and thumb of the operator; and the subtle dwt-from the stone and the needles was inhaled with the breath, and found its way into the lungs, causing the maladjS aknown as grinders’asthma, to which ‘•grinders succumbed at an early age- All this is hqw clmpgep, howp-per. neadjes are made to ixaate between, two mdia-rubber hands traveling oyqr the concave face of the grinds tone, ofi special J quality, obtained from Frankfort; and tfie fine dust i* carried oflf through a cbanpelnmder the grinder's seat by an exhausting fan, which does duty for all the stones. < r TTa* pointed at both ends* are next brought under a falling die, worked, by ..the foot, which stamps the gutter the eye, roughs on t£e headSjJftd mark#.the position of the eyes. The flattened portion bas become- hardened by tile blow, and the Wdw*& .has to removed in the annealing oven. The botes for the eyes are then punched on* py ji jtate«f small punches in Vhand screw-press; these pppchfiSnrequire careful workmanship, both in making and adjusting,, and employ special ©peratives,.who work with magnifying glasses like those of watchmakers* 4 .ppiaber of aeettfes, Urfe then thfCkded,' or “ spitted,” as- the term Is. on a pair of flnp)<is> *n| thC s bur{ qrj {a, piade in stamping the neadtfiS' then removed by a wards between the two spits, the rudely formed need!as, now for the first time separate, have their heads rounded off by filing, especial care being taken to avoid The needles are nfixt Seated in small

Formerly, from seven to eight days were occupied in the case of best need fra by mis one pfodess; "huf how the time is considerably shortened, owing to improvements in the appliances. The needles are weighed out into lots of from 41)0,000 to 500,000 each, according to size, and tied up with emdry powder, oil and soft soap in a square piece flf strong can* vas, and securely bound with cord, thus forming roll* “or bundles j two feet 10tig‘ana thfee Inches In diameter. These bundles are rolled backwards and forwards in the scouring machine under a heavily-weighted slab, worked by cranks driven b f the engine. This process is repeated from seven to eight times, according to the quality of the needles, the being washed in soapsuds after wooing. T?H fid# polishing is accomplished in the same manner, but with putty-powder, and the needles are then dried in aahwood sawdust. The needles are now highly polished and well tempered, but with the eyes not yet perfect. The heads are all arranged in thi same direction by gradually bringing tham up to the efige pf a board, and letiiagthe heavier heads fall over, so that they may be taken up and turned the •then trey? this is done bypieaps of a couple of metal plates,' as touching the hand' would cause them to rust.

The Story of a Russian Princess.

What do you think of a Russian princess —a genuine article, with her name, ooat-of-arms, etc,, stamped even on Apt stockings—serving in the capacity of chambermaid at a gentleman's house, bringing up a fellow’s—this fellow’s—early cup of coffee, and gracefully shuttling downstairs with hisbootsV How would that fit into your pipe for a quiet smoke ? I will tell you a tale, stranger than fiction. In the first place, I must give incredulity a gentle tap on the head, as a hint to be quiet, by premising that Russian princesses in their native land are as thick as leaves in Yalombrosa. This particular princess, who bad cut some caper or other, resulting In a policeman’s order for her to move on, came to-this country. She here fell in love with a thoroughbred scalawag and married him. He watf an expeditious young man, and he went throughher money and diamonds like beans through a tin horn. As the diamonds melted away, they came down In life by going up to the neighborhood of the attic. At last, one morning after breakfast, out of the melting of the last ear-ring, the young man arose, embraced his wife, shed one tear on her throbbing bosom, and bolted. He went off with another name, and took to keeping school at S4O a month. The princess took an engagement as chambermaid in a private family at four dollars a week, and no half benefit. Eighteen months rolled around, at the end of which time she treed her man —the vagrant husband. She went into court and demanded a share of the pedagogue’s salary. The scalawag pulled out a decree of divorce, obtained somewhere in the West. But the employer of the princess was a „prominent lawyer, and, badgered by his servant, 'took up her cause. The decree was right, but had one fatal defect. Such a document is taken in evidence ih the New York courts, provided it has the signature of the clerk of the., court, seal,: etc., also that of the judge, with the additional requirement that the judge must certify that it is the clerk in question, and the clerk must swear to the judge, which is funny, and with all due’ respect to courts, I should say, highly preposterous. In this document the clerk had failed to certify to the Identity of the court, and the Justice here threw out the evidence and assigned to Mine. Princess twelve dollars a week out of her husband’s earnings. Now see the effect of sudden prosperity. From that moment! the Princess has refused'to make a bed of flourish a duster, and as long as school keeps will not torches boots with a pair of tongs, —Louimlle Courier Journal. '

Peanuts

Peanuts, or, as they are popularly known in the South, ground nuts or goubers, grow in the ground on the roots of the plant exactly like potatoes. The stalk and leaves of the plant somewhat resemble clover, and to get the nuts when ripe the plants are' pulled out of the ground, the nuts adhering firmly to the roots. The greatest trouble with the ground nuts is in picking them, which has to be done by baud, no machine. having as yet been invented to do the work, though it wobld seem as if such a machine, in the shape of a coarse comb, might he easily invented. But labor is cheap in the places where they are grown, which are in the light sandy saijs of Tennessee, Virginia ana - Nofth Carolina, in this country. Peanuts are also largtfly grown in Africa, Induq«Br»il, and pther places. The best are raisea in the Valley of the River Gambia, in Africa, and yielq large quantities of oil. This product, when properly produced, is esteemed equal to olive oil; but it is also used in woolen manufactures, in soap making, in lamps, and for lubricating machinery. Last year the crop in the United States was as follows: Tennessee, 235,000 bushels; Virgibia, 450,000; North Carolina, 100,000. The imports from Africa last year were 846,000 bushels, of which Boston imported 88,000 and New York 23,000. The average of the ‘new crop this year is somewhat larger than that of last year, and the yield promises well, the nut being generally better filled and matured than for the past two years, and of finer quality. The past year was marked by fewer changes than any former one; by a moderate but steady consumptive demand; by an absence, of speculation; and by the small proportion of choice white nuts. Tennessee peanuts are put up in burlap bags of four of five bushels capacity, and are sold by the pound, the grades being, respectively, inferior, prime, choice and fancy. The crop year begins Oct. 1, and ends Sept. 80 of the ensuing year. The new crop will come forward under very favorable auspicies. The previous crop having been well sold up, stocks are light in the hands of commission merchants and dealers. —Boston Herald.

Odd Occupations.

We are fast running “ specialties” into the ground in this city, when an exclusive Baked Beans Company" is formed and put into successful operation. This is a veritable fact, afad* the wagonA of the New York and Boston Baked Beans Company now traverse the streets supplying the famous Sunday morning; meal to the restaurants and hotels with as much regularity as the milk carts. They do a thriving business. Another specialty here is Uie manufacture of whipped cream for Charlotte Russe. One -concern manufactures nearly all of jhis delicacy sold in the city. They use machinery, and by dealing in. large quantities of materials, and using labor-saving machines, they can supply the restaurants and confectioners cheaper than they can make it themselves. But the oddest thing, which, though small jn itself, is a big thing in its way, is the operation of a stock company for manufacturing the article of “ paste” for book-binders, paperhangers, newspaper offices, etc. The cost of this thing is so “light that it would seem there was no “big money” in it upon any conceivable terms; but in fact this business employs 100 hands, occupies a five-story building, and keeps three or four wagons and twice as many horses in constant use. They supply paste to the suburban cities and villages, mid on terms which prevent competition from private consumers. Another odd Occupation is that of a half-dozen butcher-boys in Fulton and Washington Markets, who make a business o. supplying cat and dog meat to wholesale grocers and others who keep cats or dogs to protect their property against rata and mice, f It is curried round to the stores, nicely cat up ready for use; and tradition says that fortunes have been made in this line of supplying cats’ meat by two retired butchers.—AT.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

—Making money la a alow process on the farm, but a very sure process. A little addition ought to be made yearly either in the shape of valuable improvements or the accumulation of money la bank. —A Western writer— Rural World—thinks if dairy faming pays at the East it may be made more profitable in the West, because there Is a good market for Eastern cheese. Besides our feeding season is not so long as in New England and portions of New York. —To cook egg-plant, slice the plant a quarter of an inch thick; sprinkle with salt; place layer upon layer, and let stand fifteen minutes. Dip in a batter and fry in butter and lard. Another good way Is to dip in egg and roll in crushed cracker, and fiy same way.— Cor. Chicago Tribune.

' —What in the world do people suppose the luugs of horses are made of, if they are to be kept steeped in ammontac&l ana noxious gases, day and night, except *the few hours’ airing of their daily tasks, and not get diseased. The ventilation of horse-homes would be a good point in which to direct the efforts of reform.—Batton Transcript. —Carbon is mostly drawn from the air In the fjorm of carbonic acid, though a small part is obtained from the soil. The quantity required for the vegetation oh the surface of the globe is immense, for it constitutes one-half of the weight of all vegetation. The proportion of carbonic acid in the air is about one twenty-live-hundredth part of the whole. —Good luck is a poor dependence; it seldom makes men rich, and when it does, ten to one it spoils them. Never spend any time looking for it, or waiting for it, nor waste your breath in Wishing for it to come to you. Success in life comes from energy, a strong faith in yourself, skill and knowledge in the use of the means at hand and in never getting disheartened or discouraged. . —One very common habit or practice we observe, both in the city and in the co’intry, among the rural population, is that jit yelling sharply at horses before cart, wagon, omnibus Of buggy, with that of suddenly and violently jerking the reins, supplementing it with sharp shrieks of the voice, provided they make an untoward movement—a habit we deem no less reprehensible than detestable, and one that should be at once corrected and abandoned forever. Gentleness and kindness will be found not only the wiser and better, but the more humane and effective course in accomplishing the end desired. —Boston Cultivator.

—Years ago the ailment called “ hollow hojn,” or “ horn distemper,” was very common, and in many yards cows might be seen with horns bored on the under sideband Into this hole, and on the top of the bead, the remedies were applied. A syringe or wooden squirt-gun was used to inject into the horn soap-suds, pepper tea, brine, etc. It is now known by most farmers that there is no such disease as horn-ail, or hollow horn, but that when the horns are cold that state of things indicates the presence of disease elsewhere, and a feeble circulation. The horns, being extremities, are cold, and the circulation needs to be equalized. It is now known to be a dangerous experiment to treat animals after the manner they were used to be treated. —Detroit Tribune.

Provide Water for Fowls.

Hens and turkeys, ducks and geese, will live without water; yet they will thrive much more satisfactorily if they can havo unrestrained access Jo. a generous supply at; all seasons of ihe> year.; They frill drink large quantities of water even in cold weather, if they are not required to go too far away from their roosting-places when they are thirsty. The fact that they are. thirsty affords the assurance that they need water to promote a more complete digestion of their food. We provide water for our hens with as much care as for the horse and cow. During warm weather the zinc receptacle, or water fountain, is filled as often as tbs supply becomes exhausted. In co]d weather, when the water in the fountain is liable to congeal with cold, an old pan is filled with warm water in the morning, and then again toward evening. After a hen has filled her crop With dry feed she needs a generous supply of water to promote the softening process preparatory to digestion We frequently see our fowls hurrying from their roosts to the water early m the morning, while it is yet so dark that they can scarcely see where the water can De found. More than a score of times during the day laying hens will be seeq drinking. Hens, with their half-grown broods, will sometimes go to the water fountain as often as every hour during the entire day. If they were not thirsty, they would not desire water. The fact that they are thirsty shows conclusively that water will promote their comfort and aid digestion. The water fountain should always be kept in one place, so that fowls may know where to go when they are thirsty. If water is kept in a pan, a narrow board should be laid across the top to prevent careless fowls from pouncing into the water. When ducks or geese are reared where they connot have the advantages of a stream or pond of water, provide a large trough aqd place it in an excavation in the grouna, near a well, so that the swimmers can step from boards at the brim of the trough into the water, lo facilitate their exit from the water, let an inclined plane be placed at each end of the trough, having small cleats nailed across the surface, so that they can walk out of the water to terra firma. The trough should be placed so near the well that fresh water can be directed into it without difficulty every day, or several times daily, if desirable, At all events, let fowls be provided with pure water in some way.— N. Y. Herald.

More Sheep Wanted.

Prom almost every quarter of the country we hear complaints of sheep being unprofitable at tbe present prices of wool and mutton. In several instances we have noticed articles going the rounds of the press-headed " What shall we do with our sheep?” and other similar titles which are likely to cause those engaged in sheep husbandry to be alal-med at the future prospects of their Very importantindustry.. Nl,w, it is an old sayirfg that ‘' straws show which way the wind biotas,” and we think there are some straws connected with the wool Interest which may be watched in order that the farmer may see Whether It Is advisable for him to kill off, or keep his flocks. Wool is a staple article always in demand, and for which a certain, amount of money can be obtained, and the only qu sti m for our farmers to decide is who l.er they can produce it with profit, not by basing their calculations upon the lowest price, but upon tbe average for a series of years. As the ■ bfr v XiMifv'iKvykl' \r

E rices of all staplb articles are liable to actuations Ihe only safe guide in their production uto base, all calculation! of profit upon averages, and in doing this wiiii wool wf mi UK mere are hm j -toou and substantial reasons to be hopeful for the future. One straw which points to a hopeful future iatbefact that we have not as yet been able to produce all the wool, required for our own use in this country. Last year we paid foreign countries some $50,000,000 for woolen goods, and about $11,000,000 for wool, ana to make up this deficiency we need some 30,000,000 more sheep. If our fanners complain of file low pnee of wool, what can they say of it in countries whence the deficiency in; our own markets is made up. Cannot we produce wool as cheap as the foreign pro-; ducor can land it in our markets, with all the extra expense to which he is compelled to submit before placing it in competition; with the home-raised article? If not, why not ? We have as cheap lands as any nation, and as good a' climate for sheep husbandry as,can be found mi the globe, consequently, there must be something wrong either is the breeds, or management of flocks, which makes wool-grow-ing unprofitable, if it is really so, as frequenfiy asserted. But we are inclined |© believe, that sheep husbandry is as profitable as any* other branch of agriculture, and although there may be some “ bad years” still upon the whole, raising wool and mutton will yield as large returns for the capital and labor invested os the production of beef, pork, or any of the ordinary farm crops. Raising wool is not so exhaustive to land as the raising of grain, and the differ-; ence should always be placed to the credit of the wool crop, which, it is to be feared, many of our farmers fail to do in making! up their accounts. The balance sheet, if it shows onlv the cash' part of a farmer’s operation with sheep, and especially if it docs not extend over a period of more than one or two years, will not give a fair exhibit of either profit or loss, for field* may have been enriched to such an extent that they will give a large, increase in the yield of grain, grass, or other crops for several years after the .sheep have been removed. Taking this favorable';view of the subject we would not advise farmers to sell or otherwise dispose of their flocks, but endeavor to itoprove ttoSJ increase the number. It may be nficessary in some instances to find a more economical method of keeping and feeding, but this can readily be done by studying the systems practiced by the most successful breeders in this and /other countries >- Rural New Yorker

Keep the Animals Warm.

The first cold blast of. wind frouFthe north is a reminder that animals; however tough and hardy, need shelter in winter.; It will take less food to keep frrnv stock over winter in warm stables than when exposed to severe cold.. Of coarse good wood, stone or brick barns and stables are expensive, and there are many farmers, 1 especially in the recently-settled districts, who have not the means to build such structures, but there is noone too poor to furnish some kind of shelter for their animals. If a man cannot afford to build what he desires, let him do the next best thing, and build something which will furnish shelter, even if h is-nothing better, than a shed, with sod for walls, and a roof of brush or cornstalks. All attempts at elegance or extra convenience may be left out of the question where a.man’s purse is light; still, it ls.ecqnomy to keep all farm stock skeltered from cold, wind and storms, in winter, even if thp owner does not possess enough of the humane feelings to care for their \ More than one half of all life diseases and parasites which infest farm stock are the direct result of neglecting to furnish them with proper food- or shelter during 1 cold, stormy Cattle of all kinds, when forced to remain in muddy, Wet yards during cold Weather, are liable to various diseases of the feet, such as bodfail and foot rot. and the best preventive'is dry ground, or yards' littered with straw, or some similar coarse material. Standing a lone time in filth, whether in the stable or yard, is almost certain to bring on diseases of the feet. All kinds of farm stock are liable to take cold when exposed to storms, and from this comes a weakened constitution, which invites various kinds of diseases and parasitic insects. Weakened vitality or vigor in either plants or animals opens the way to hundreds of parasites which are resisted hy the healthy individual, and the farmer should keep his animals in a condition which will enable them to ward off the attacks of such enemies. He has only to, think of his own comforts, such as nutritious food and warm clothing, and: consider how the reverse of these conditions would affect him, to understand how it is with his animals. It is unnecessary to go into details in regard to the building of sheds, stables, or other kinds of structures for sheltering stock in winter, as every man knows best what materials are at hand or within reach suitable for such purpisos, bnt the fact should be apparent to all breeders of animals that in all cool climates some kind of protection is required. Oqt on the plains and prairies of the West and Southwest it is often asserted that sheep need no protection in winter, and it is even claimed by some that they do better without it than with* 1 ’ it; but the frequent heavy losses by cold, starvation and diseases plainly sbow that all this talk of mildness of climate is an error. Sheep and oth-ar farm stock may live through the winter without artificial shelter or inore food than, can be obtained on the range* in these favored localities, Irot they would certainly do better with added comforts every winter, and occasionally heavy losses might be avoided, by toffting the necessary provision to and feed tuem when severe storms prevail.*-JV.
