Opening of the Taris Exposition. The great French Exposition of 1878 opened on the 1st of May with a grand National fete, the first since the days of the second empire, since the war, since all those disasters which the French have expel ienced since France first donned her Republican robes and parried the dagger strokes of her wily enemies. The people hailed the day as an emblem of peace, of - future prosperity and their justly entitled reward for past sufferings and much patience. All work was for bidden, and those who did not care to wander through the gardens and the boulevards, spent thcf'day in contented idleness looking out of . their windows upon' the flags moving with the breeze and gazing with friendly expressions on their neighbors across the way. . The Exposition was opened with due ceremony in the presence of the different representatives of rarious countries who appeared with all their importance shin ing on the breasts of their coats, many small men even staggering under the weight of their decorations. Marshal MacMahon, in order to give as little plebeian tone to the affair as possible, kept the audience and ambassadors wait ing with princely indifference. Tickets of invitation were issued to the different Commissioners, to be distributed among their compatriots, who, however, com plained that the French had kept the lion's share and there were not sufficient invitations to satisfy all their distin guished countrymen. Whilst some tickets carried the proprietors to the very centre of the important hall where the ceremony was to take place, others offered admission only to the grounds, where the visitors stationed themselves to Bee the procession of grand person ages as they passed before them. The crowd was so great that little attention was paid to the injunctions for the pres ervation of the greenswards, and the garden was almost ruined by the tread of many feet. The usual executive abil ity of the French seemed on this occa sion to be wanting, for considerable con fusion ensued, and no one was able at the. end of the ceremony to find his carriage, and it was onlyi after vandering over much ground, through considerable mud and receiving occasional shower baths that one carr.e across his vehicle. How ever, no one felt much .inclined to nurse lis anger for everything and everybody was en fete. From every window waved large ana small flags, and very many contained two, by which it was known that an other than a Frenchman born occupied the conspicuous apartments. It was astonishing to perceive how very cos mopolitan the inhabitants of Paris prove to be, to find out how many of one's compatriots are away from their native land, and how 1'aris, tne great city ot which all France is so proud, is sus tained and its glory contributed to by different representatives of the various nations of the earth. These flags pre sented a most picturesque effect and of tentimes a singular contrast, for there were all colors and peculiar designs to be seen, but none of them could surpass the red, white and blue, particularly when' the stars would be discerned. All the windows from the first to the fifth flight were filled with flowers, which were a pretty accompaniment , to the flags, and these, with the pleasant faces peering through the hospitable openings, presented a very pretty picture. ine Parisians cave strong expression -to their patriotic, sentiments by the purchasing of flags and lanterns, and so great was tne demand for bunting that merchants raised the price, and, speculating with unpatriotic spirit, but with commercial instinct, on the patriotism of others, realized quite a large sum. When the bunting gave out, recourse was had to calico, but that also came to an end, and many made flags of tissue paper. Early in the evening there could be seen Chi nese lanterns taking their place among the flags and flowers, the preparations for the evening's illumination. " In all the little by-streets even, from the attic windows a flag and a lantern could be discerned, and there was something ef fective and contagious in this general demonstration of patriotism. It seemed as though the one .pulse of the nation were beating, all feelings and sentiments were strained to one subject, and like tne narmony ot grand music, it had lifted them to & higher sphere. ' At about three o'clock in the day the cannons began booming, and the firing of guns was heard for over an hour The principal part of the fete, that which is dear to the heart ot every Frenchman, took place in the evening, when Paris seemed one blaze of light. All Paris was in the street on that night all -the eoneieraes, bonnes, cooks, and that class of people, who rarely move away from their portcochere, were plodding their way from one boulevard to another, past the place de 1'Opera and up the Champs Elysees, in order to get a sight of the grand illuminations. ' Not only the side walks, but the whole of the street, was a mass of human beings moving in oppo site directions, some leading children by the hand, others carrying them on their shoulders, and all holding closely to each other for fear of being separated in the dense crowd. The stream of lights above and the tread of the people rubbing against each other, all talking in a sub dued voice, produced a strange and startling effect. Many of the houses looking out on the boulevards and prin-. cipal streets were illuminated with two and three rows of gas burners placed very close togctlrfer.- Upon Gambetta's hotel in blazing letters could be read La Republique Franeaise. Flag3 of all na tions arranged in semi-circular form waved from the roof of the entrance into the court, and it was pleasant to perceive that the American flag which was placed next to the French flag wound its folds around it with true sisterly affection. The most curious sight was the Place de 1'Opera, which was made as light as day oy the electric lights. Iwery square inch of ground was occupied by a dense mass of people which did not move but remained stationary as though awed by the scene before them. A vast number of persons from the provinces had ar rived that day and many of them were no doubt seeing for the first time the wonderful effect of the electric lights. The Opera House was magnificently illuminated by rows of gas burners at the top which encircled it like bands of fire, and the bronze figure holding the golden lyre was lighted up by an elec tric burner which instantly changed po sition and gave to the marvellous statue a new expression. 1 he windows of the foyer looking out on the street were draped in crimson velvet trimmed with gold and filled with handsomely dressed spectators. The flight of broad steps leading up to the entrance of the house was covered with people crowded to gether and standing .erect, bathed in this marvellous light so that from the centre of the square they suggested visions of a celestial choir, such as pictured by the inspired pencil of a Gustave Dore. Few conveyances of any kind were to be seen, and tnose who were foolish enough to venture out in a carriage were like so many prisoners, for the crowd was so dense the horses could not make the least headway. A gentleman visiting Paris decided on attending the opera of "L'Africaine," given at the Grand Opera House, and although he started from his hotel before half-past seven o'clock, he succeeded in reaching the Opera House only at half-past ten. lhe Champs L.lysees was a beautiful sight, and the garden of the palais as it is still called was a place of enchantment with its Venetian lanterns and numerous sky-rockets. The fete was kept up until two o clock the following morning aud all cafes and restaurants by special order were kept open until that hour. The streets were all so illuminated and so filled with people that Time himself be came somewhat bewildered, and when twelve o'clock arrived, he thought he had unconsciously jumped two hours. The fete was a grand success and when the Parisians sought their pillows that ght it was with feelings of satisfaction and contentment with both themselves and the entire world. This Exposition is pronounced to be different from any of the preceding ones which have taken place at Paris inas much as it bears on its face the stamp of Republicanism, of earnestness and seri ousness. The spirit of progress seems to have insinuated itself with the princi ples of liberty in the heart and mind of the French, and they have called to gether the different nations that they may learn all that will improve their condition and further advance them on the road to perfection. The French are poor colon izers, unwilling travelers, and instead of, like Peter the Great, going forth to gather the wisdom collected by other nations, they act with characteristic in dolence and bid the East and West, North and South pour out their treas ures before them that they may judge and learn. The anti-Itepublicaus complain that the Exposition is too sombre, too serious, and that not enough time and attention are given to amusements, but the Ex position is an honest expression of the sentiments of the poople who, on this oc casion, with full liberty, prove to the world that they have a love of work and a seriousness of character for which they have never had proper credit. Corres pondence of th Toledo Blade. Russia's Strength. The Cologne Qatetie estimates the army which Russia can place in the field at once at C00,000 men. This strength may be maintained, but cannot be increased. The Russian forces now in European Turkey and Roumania amount to twelve and a half army corps, 312,000 men. About 100, 000 men must be employed for the oc cupation of Asiatic Turkey; so that only seven and a half army corps 187,500 men remain still disposable. In the case of war with England the Russian troops could not be withdrawn from Turkey and Roumania. The disposable seven and a half army corps would then be employed for occupying the coasts of the Black Sea and tue lialtic. Poland and St. Petersburg and Moscow,where re cent events have shown the presence of very dangerous elements, would also re quire strong garrisons. Russia could, therefore, in case of war with England, maintain her present position, but would have no forces not to speak of an Indian campaign for taking precautionary measures against Austria, at whose mercy she would be if Austria resolved on warlike measures. Things have got to such a pass in New York that a drum major can't appear on the street without being mistaken for a Russian officer and asked by some reporter if it is true that he has bought the Inman fleet of steamers. Neva Haven Register. Camping- Parties to the Biff Trees and xosemite. The fame of the Sierra Nevada Forests, the Big Trees and Yosemite is justly world-wide. Horace Greeley says: "I know of no single wonder of nature, on earth, which can claim superiority over Yosemite." And of the forests he says: "The Sierra Nevada surpasses any other mountains I ever saw in the wealth and grace of its trees." Professor Whitney says: "The scenery of Yosemite, fir sub limity and beauty, can hardly be sur passed, if equalled, by any other moun tain scenery in the world." And of the Big Trees lie says- "There is no known tree which approaches the Big Tree in grandeur, thickness and height being taken into consideration." Aud this is the general judgment of the most noted travellers of all countries who have vis ited the Big Trees ami Yoscmito. ,No wonder that people coine from Europe, Asia, the Isles of the Sea, and all parts of .North anc South America to see the Big Trees and Yosemite; the wonder is that so many of our owu people have not yet seen them, located as they are on our own borders and almost at our own doors. The expense of this trip has hindered many from making it; but this idason does not exist if pnrtie.i go with their own or hired teams and camp out while on the way and when in the valley; and hence, more and more, as each year passes and this fact becomes known, camping parties from all parts of California are visiting the Big Trees and Yosemite. From half a dozen to twenty or thirty or more friends from a neighborhood make the trip together. They take their own or hired conveyances to carry the party, and a heavy wagon (if the party is large) to carry food, blankets, warm over and under clothing, cooking utensils and other camp equipage. Nothing but what is absolutely needed for the trip should cumber the party. Food for man and beast can be bought at Yosemite and when ou the way there and back. A servant is handy to do the cooking and camp work, so that the campers may rest when the day is done and they are not sight-seeing. From their place of departure these parties take the most direct route for the San Joaquin Valley (crossing the San Joaquin river at Grayson ville or Hill's .berry, if from the coast or bay counties), and heading for and passing through Coulterville, a town in the foot-hills, be tween Tuolumne and Merced rivers; go thence by the Coulterville and Yosemite Wagon Road to the Wonderful Valley. Camping places, with abundance of wood and good water, are found on the way to the valley, and camping grounds, and grazing for horses, without cost, are re served by the losemite " Commissioneri for all visiting the valley and camping out. These camping parties, when made up of genial companions and of yoth sexes, find such a trip to Yosemite and the Big Trees delightful and instructive, from its novelty and the varied and won derfully interesting scenery it affords; healthful by reason of the out-door moun tain life that is led, the pure air breathed and the delicious water drank; and inex pensive because they travel at almost no cost in their own teams and carry their hotels with them. Terrible Earthquake in Venezuela. A report reaches us by cable from Ha vana that another great terrestrial con vulsion has occurred in Venezuela, where by six hundred persons have been killed. Although the details of this terrible ca lamity have not arrived the history of former earthquake visitations in Venez uela leads us to apprehend that in a re gion so liable to these convulsions the horrors of the past have been experienced once again. As far back as 1812 -the records show how destructive the shocks have beeninthe regions northof the valley of the Orinoco. Caracas, Laguayra and Porto Cabellobave been laid in ruins more than once and widespread destruction carried to the villages and small towns of the interior. We find by reference to the records that the town of Cumana was de stroyed by an earthquake in 1853, and at Caracas, in 18GG, 1807 and 1868, vio lent shocks were experienced, which ex tended throughout the country and caused great loss of life. Great destruction was also caused in 1875 by the widespread in fluence of an earthquake in the regions of Venezuela and Central America. The latest destructive shocks took place at 3ua and were felt severely, it appears, at Caracas. The dispatches also state that an intense heat prevailed over Venezuela. Although relations probably exist be tween barometric pressure as affected by temperature and subterranean disturb ance, they have not been satisfactorily determined in any degree. Attention has been called to the frequency of explo sions in coal mines during periods of low atmospheric pressure, following those of unusually high barometer, and it is sought to connect the two occurrences by showing that the escape of "fire damp" is greater when the atmospheric pressure is very much reduced. We prefer to be lieve in the theory which we recently an nounced in these columns that severe earthquakes occur on the lines connect ing the volcanic centres, and which give the general direction of the great fissures that connect the latter. The displace ments of matter represented by moun tain systems mark, in our opinion, the sites of enormous subterranean spaces, within which the forces that produce the earthquake are developed. N. T, Herald. A few weeks ago a Paris husband in serted the following advertisement in a paper in that city: "A widow, young and good-looking, mother of four chil dren, without fortune, desires to marry a wealthy and honorable man. Address BR." He looked up the answers, found that one of them was from a wealthy and honorable gentleman, and then drowned himself, making his wife a widow so she could avail herself of the chancer Goveknok Hubbard, of Texas, says his State is getting rich at the rate of $100,000,000 per annum. Whew ! Eeeipes for Bread, etc. WJteat Bread Fine. Sift your bread pan half or two-thirds full of flour (the pan should be a large one and should never be used for any other purpose) make a depression in the middle of the flour, into which, for four good-sized loaves, pour two quarts of blood warm water. Add four or five boiled potatoes well mashed and rubbed through a colan der. Stir in about one-half the flour in the pan, which should make in the center of the pan a pretty thick batter. Add two-thirds of a teacupful of yea9t, stir well through the mass, snip dry flour from the sides over the batter to prevent crusting; cover with your molding board or bread cloth, and set (at night, or early in the morning) in a moderately warm place to rise. In from six to twelve hours, according to the temperature, it will be light enough to knead. Stir in the re mainder of the flour in the pan, and more, if required, to make the dough or sponge stiff enough to handle. Knead very vig orously on your board until the mass is smooth aud even ; mold into loaves, fill ing the baking Ugs not more than half full and set in a warm place to rise, cov ering it with a cloth. . In from half an hour to an hour it will be light enough to put into the oven, which should be but moderately hot. Bake slowly one hour, turning occasionally. Some knead the sponge a second time before molding into loaves, but if properly kneaded the first time this is unnecessary trouble. If no potatoes are used, scalding a part of the flour improves the bread. Avoid two things, do not let it get too light, and do not take it out of the oven until it is well done. When taken out, expose it freely to the open air for an hour or so to allow the vinous fumes which are always pres ent m hot fermented bread, to escape. Then cover with several folds of cloth for several hours longer before putting away in your close bread box. No yeast bread should be eaten until it is six to twelve hours old. Wluat Bread Graham. Use equal parts of fine flour and wheat meal or Graham, but remember that the Graham is a little more rapid in the process of fermentation. Add no sugar, salt, or molasses, but use rather more mashed po tatoes. For common use tlm is as desirable a form of bread as can well be made from wheat. It is wholesome and nourish ing, and meets all the requirements of a first-class bread. Iiye and Indian, or Brown Bread. Two parts ot yellow corn meal to one part of rye meal. Scald the corn meal, stir in the rye, making a stiff batter. When blood warm add a little yeast and a table- spoonful of molasses to each two quarts; let it rise hve or 6ix hours; put in a stone crock or iron bake kettle, cover, and bake in a slow oven from three to five hours. If baked all night, it is all the better. Brown Bread with Soda. Scald the meal as before, dilute with butter-milk or sour milk, stir in the rye meal to the con sistency of a thick batter, add soda to neutralize the acid in the milk, and bake until well done in a moderate oven. Brown Bread Cake. For a family of six, stir equal parts of yellow corn meal and good wheat meal into three coffee cupfulsof buttermilk or sour milk, add a tablespoonful of sugar (maple gives them a delicious flavor), and three scant teaspoonfuls of soda. Bake at once in gem pans in a quick oven, and serve hot. These cakes are good enough for any body king, queen or president, and need no shortening or other abomination. Oems Plain. Stir fresh wheat meal into sweet milk the fresher the better, untifa very stiff batter is formed. Whip thi3 vigorously, as you would eggs, for somo minutes. Have, your gem pans hot and your oven very hot. Fill the gem pans full and bake at once, keeping your oven piping hot from first to last. Bake until quite browned. You will be surprised at their lightness. This is the best form ot warm bread ever baked, and may be eaten by the most delicate invalid with perfect impunity. It is good for the weak and good for the strong; for young and old for every body. Oems, wiih Corn Meal. Into a pint of soft water more or less as required stir fine wheat meal (Graham) to the consistency of a moderately thick batter, incorporating as much common air as possible by whipping it for some time thoroughly, as in beating eggs. Let set over mgnt, to swell. In the morning stir in a pint of new milk and sufficient scalded corn meal to make a thick bat ter, using as little water as possible in scalding the meal. Add a little salt- have your gem pans hot and your oven hotter. Bake until nicely browned, and serve hot. Oems with Corn Meal Anollier way. Scald corn meal with as little water as possible, dilute with cold sweet milk (water will do) and add wheat meal suf ficient to make a stiff batter, which beat thoroughly as before. If water be used instead of milk, an egg will add to the delicacy of the cakes. Bake in hot gem pans in a hot oven. Oems, with Oatmeal. Thin cold oat meal mush, with new or sweet milk, using about equal portions of milk and mnsb. Then stir in fine wheatmcal until you have a thick batter. Beat thoroughly, making the batter as stiff as can be handled with a spoon. Bake in a quick oveD, in heated gem pans, until evenly browned, aud serve hot. Gems, with Oatmeal. Another way. Dilute oatmeal with buttermilk or Bour milk; thicken to a stiff batter with wheat meal; neutralize the sour milk with soda, according to rules already given, and bake in a quick oven. To Cube aBcrn. This has been used in the case of a child four years old. who had been badly burned. Suppuration was abundant and so offensive that they or dered the child a tepid bath, containing a coupie oi pincnes sulphurate of iron This gave relief to the pain, and being repeaiea twice a uay, twenty minutes each bath, the child soon was well. A Russian Metropolis. Moscow is the strangest mixture of beauty and squalor that can be seen. Here is a church painted bright green all over, with a picture of some saints above the door. Next it i3 a little, dark shop where icons and lamps are sold. A little further on is a narrow, sombre passage, running through to the next street, with shops opening into it where all sorts of small wares are exhibited. Theproprie tor stands at the door and recommends his goods to the passer-by. At the end of the street is the Kremlin, that wonder ful remnant of barbaric splendor. If you stand and look at it, as I did, under a dull March sky, the sharp little snowflakes pelting you fiercely in the face, with melting snow under foot, and a general nastiness and sloppines9 all about you, you will be moved to a sort ot wonder that these high white walls, these queer- colored domes and roofs, and all this strange architecture, could ever be ad mired bv anv but a savage race. But go to the same point of view on a clear day after a snow storm, when the ground is white and clean, when the sun scintillates on the delicate tracery of the crosses which surmount the domes, themselves take deeper and purer shades of blue and green and gold and gray then you will appreciate better the real beauty which underlies all this apparent barbarity. Entering the holy gate, which is noth ing remarkable to look at, every one, not excepting the Czar, must uncover his head. From the walls of the Kremlin there is a magnificent view of the city. Raised so high above it, the squalor and dirt do not stare one in the face, and the hundreds of minarets, and spires and crosses, all brightly colored and the green roofs of the houses, with the low range of the Sparrow hills on the one side, across which the French army marched, and from where Napoleon got his first view of Moscow, for a very beautiful picture. The first thing to visit inside the Kremlin is the church where the emperors are crowned. From the first Romanoff down to the present Alexander II. the coronation ceremony has taken place in this same church, on this same platform in the center of the building. The cathedral is more than rich. It is literally glittering. with gold and silver and jewels. There is not one square inch in floor or ceiling or walls which is unornamented. The screen at the back of fcthe altar is of solid gold. The icones have necklaces and tiaras of diamonds, emerald3 and pearls. The chandeliers are of silver. The walls are covered with paintings aud mosaic work of Siberian marbles. Splendor gleams from every corner. No words can ex press the riches of this church. It is said that all wealth of all the Russians could not buy the contents of this one little building. Letter to Boston Advertiser. Cure for Hydrophobia. I can give some facta which may be of use to somebody, thereby giving life. The time between the biting of an ani mal by a mad dog and showing signs of hydrophobia is not less than nine days, but may be nine months. After the ani mal has become rabid, a bite or scratch with his teeth upon a person, or slobber coming in contact with a,sore or raw place, would produce hydrophobia just as soon as though he had been bitten by a mad dog. Hydrophobia can be pre vented, and I will give what is well known to be an infallible remedy, if properly administered, for man or beast. A dose for a horse or cow should be about four times as great as for a person. It is not too late to give medicine any time be fore the spasms come on. The first dose for a person is one and a half ounces of elecampane root, bruised, put in a pint of new milk, reduced to one-half by boiling, then taken all atone dose in the morning, fasting until after noon, or at least a very light diet after several hours have elapsed. The second dose the same as the first, except take two ounces of the root; third dose the same as last, to be taken every other day. Tlrree doses are all that is needed, and there need be no fear. This I know from my own experience, and know of a number of other cases where it has been entirely successful. This is no guess-work. Those persons I allude to were bitten by their own dogs, that had beeu bitten by rabid dogs, and were penned up to see if they would go mad ; they did go mad, and did bite the persons. This remedy had been used in. and about Philadelphia for forty years and longer, with great success, aud is known as the Goodman remedy. I am acquaint ed with a physician who told me he knew ef its use tor more than thirty years, but never knew a case that failed where it was properly administered. Among other cases lie menlioaed was one where a number of cows had been bitten by a mad dog. To half of this number they administered this remedy, to the other half not. The latter all died of hydrophobia, while those that took the elecampane and milk showed no sign of that disease. It. C. SJtoemaker, in Conn try Oentleman. Alcoholism and Farinaceous Food. Liebig's theory that liquor-drinking is compatible with animal food, but not with a farinaceous diet, has been put to tue test by Charles Napier, an English scientist, and in each of the twenty-seven cases tried it was fully substantiated. The most remarkable of these experi ments was in the case of a man sixty years of age, who had been intemperate for thirty-live years. His constitution was seriously imparcd by his frequent ex cesses. But after an almost fatal attack of delirium tremens, he was persuaded to attempt a farinaceous diet, by which a complete cure was effected in seven months. Amonir the articles of food es pecially adopted to the cure of a taste of alcohol are placed macaroni, lianueans, dried peas, and lentils, all of which should be well boiled, and flavored with olive oil. The principle on which such a diet causes a disinclination to alcoholic liquors is said to be that the carbonaceous starch contained in the macaroni, beans, or oleaginous food appears to render car bon in an alcoholic form both unneces sary and repulsive.

Roots have become a necessity, with progressive farmers, as a winter food for stock, and their great value in this con nection should commend them to those who have not essayed their cultivation. Even the owners of work and driving horses in the large cities, where no op portunity is had to raise them, annually buy hundreds of bushels of carrots, man gel wurtzels, turnips, etc., to be fed in connection with grain food, to their horses, and they are well assured of the profitableness of using them, for the ani mals are always sleek, fat and glossy in appearance, and never become hide-bound or sickly. The sheep, cattle and swine, too, come in for a share of the roots' in winter, and no. farmer who has a right to be called one should think of neglecting the culti vation of roots for his different kinds of stock. There ia scarcely a farm, on which the farmer makes a living, which is not large enough to make it profitable to grow from one to two acres or more of carrots, mangel wurtzels, etc. If they have not been grown this season, by all means purchase some. If the markets are carefully noted, it is often possible to buy comparatively large lots at very moderate figures. He who goes without them deprives his stock of something they really need, besides not realizing the same amount of value from the food con sumed that would be obtained if a few roots were regularly fed, to tone the sys tem and keep the animals sound and healthy. In storing roots for winter feeding, never use the house cellar for the pur pose, for the smell which will continually arise from them and prevade the entire house, will not only be unpleasant but may lead to sickness. A barn cellar is the most appropriate place, though we have kept large quantities out f door9, in mounds made for the purpose. We select a high piece of ground on which we put a light sprinkling of straw; on this the heap of roots is put, say about fifty bushels in a heap, after first carefully removing the tops or leaves. After the pile has been nicely rounded up, spread a light covering of straw on them and then put on the earth or soil carefully to the depth of six or eight inches, first making a "chimney" at the extreme top, with a whisp of straw placed upright, to afford ventilation. By taking the soil from immediately around the pile for covering the roots, better drainage is af forded and they are kept free from wet or dampness.- After the soil has all been put on which is necessary, go over the heap and pat it down nicely with the back of the spade, to make it shed the rain without washing away any, or but little. In this way we have kept carrot", beets, parsnips, turnips and mangel wurt zels the entire winter. We always took one heap at a time, when wanted for use, and conveyed all to the barn, to a dark place free from frost. When this lot was used up, we tackled another heap in the same way. If roots are kept in a light and airy place they will soon shrivel up, or rot, and lose much of their value as stock feed. After the heap has been finished and packed down with the spade, it is a good plan to cover it with a few inches of old straw or fresh litter from the sta ble, which will prevent heavy ruins from washing the earth down. A better sub stance is long rye straw placed arouqij the mound and tied at the top, as this will shed most of the rain, and if drain age is properly provided for, no trouble need be apprehended. D. Z. Evans, Jr. in Ohio Farmer. More on Turnips. The Country Oen- tleman says turnips may be grown in less time, and at less expense of labor and fertility of soil, than any other root or tubes grown on the farm,and for the table of feeding to stock they fill a want often otherwise unsupplied. One great advan tage to the general farmer is that the crop may be put in after other hoed crops are well along, or where such may have failed from any cause. The product, too, is usually abundant for the space occu pied. All kinds of stock are fond of them, especially during winter, and not only so, but they thrive and lay on fat raster when fed on turnips, in connection with other feed, than when they are de prived of succulent food. However low in the scale of nutrition science may place the turnip, there can be no disputing ac tual experience in their feeding results. Straw with turnips may be made to fill a want of hay for much farm stock. Well decomposed manure or some approved fertilizer should be applied as a dressing to the soil previous to sowing the seed. Drill culture has the advantage over broadcast in that the crop may be culti vated and kept free of weeds, and with greater certainty of good, sizable roots in greater abundance. Dust Bath. A dust-bath ia quite as grateful to fowls as another kind of bath is to the higher race of bipeds. Make a box three feet square at least and about six inches deep, and set itin a sunny cor ner of the fowl house. Fill it with dust from the road, or a3 that is rather inac cessible at this season of the year, with clay or dirt dried before the stove and then pounded fine. Take care not to in troduce gravel or sharp bits of stone, as they will injure the fowls when in the violent motion of dusting. A very good substitute for dust may be found in the fine coal-ashes which can be used to good advantage either alone or mixed with carlolated powder, which, by the way, is always beneficial used with either. Avoid wood-ashes, as the least moisture will produce lye, and the fowls' feet, wings and heads will be eaten, raw by it, even if death does not follow. A patent has been obtained for the preparation of maize leaf, as a substitute for tobacco. It is said to be of anti-nervous effect, and to be a very pleasant tonic to the system. It is sweet and pun gent. , , A Georgia hunter recently killed a wild turkey weighing forty pounds. f i V i If: a- 'i I .. f : it i 1 i 'i . t - - i 1 i ii i- RAMCR0FT LIBRARY, J -nTTO'T'-pcY (1W
