O) X Broom Corn Culture. I advise no one to raise broom corn uh less he is' fully posted. More men have been broken up, financially, by it, than by almost any other ciop. A man raises a little patch on choice land, which does well; he then figures what an acre will produce, and is astonished. He at once concludes that he will plant largely, and get rich. He does so, expecting to tend as much land in broom corn as he could in Indian corn, and therefore do the la bor himself, and save the profits. The result, summed up in a few words, is that for lack of proper care in hoeing and harvesting he has about half a crop of biush that is worth about half the market price: and when sold will just about pay the extra hell) that he did not expect to hire. Broom corn should be planted about the same time as Indian corn, but the earlier kinds will mature a good crop of brush on rich laud from June 10. It will do well on any land that will pro duce a good crop of Indian corn, but a sandy loam is preferable. Plow as for corn, pulverize thoroughly and mark out about three feet apart,or 30 inches, if you can cultivate it that close. Make as small a mark as possible, and cross-mark the .same. Five stalks will do well this dis tance in each hill. .1 plant with a hand planter, so adjusted as to drop from five to seven seeds one that forces the seed into the giound, and prefer that kind be cause seed to planted will stand more dry weather than when simply dropped and covered. But plant only enough to insure a good stand, for all extra plants must be pulled out by hand. Two quarts of seed properly planted is plenty for an acre. I once read an agricultural report in which it was advised to plant a peck, and even more per acre, and pull out the extra plants. In my experience of thirteen crops, I have learned that every unneces sary plant or weed detracts from the crop'; and that when just the right number of )lants start in a hill, they are hardier and will produce better brush. And be sides the extra labor of thinning out is o.ten greater than tne hoeing. After planting hitch one horse to the crusher and drive between two rows, taking two at a time, which levels the land so as to prevent washing in case of heavy rain, and also leaves the land in better condi tion for the cultivator. I cultivate one row at a time, with a two-horse drag and cul tivator combined, having interchangeable teeth. It is very necessary to keep the weeds down. If apiece of broom corn gets very weedy you might as well plow it under for all the profit clear of expenses that will meet you. It will need one good hoeing by hand ; after that the weeds can be kept down with the cultivator. Some plant in drills three and one-half feet apart, but it takes more hard labor and is more apt to be crooked. I have experi mented in various ways, and my best crops of straightest brush have been planted in hills and cultivated both ways, and the rows as close together as is convenient to ' work between with a horse. My next article will be on cutting and scraping. 7. A. 2., in Ohio Farmer. The Blackberry. It is strange the blackberry is not more extensively planted where it succeeds well. After a plantation is once started it requires but little care and attention. Nipping back the new growth while growing, and cleaning between the rows two or three times in the spring and early sum mer, is all that is necessary. They do better on light, porous soil, and should not be worked among late in the season, as it promotes late growth and tender ness of plant. They yield so abund antly and sell at such high rates, and can be harvested at such ow rates, that they prove one of the most profitable crops grown where they do not winter kill. On our farm at Palmyra we have some eight acres, and they have proved the most profitable to us of any fruit we have grown. The Lawton is the old stand-by with us, it is so productive and large. In such States as Virginia, Mary land, Kentucky, Missouri, and in favor able localities north, where the peach thrives, the blackberry crop is exceed ingly profitable, anpi black and red raspberries, too, if giown in the States named, for northern markets pay. Fruit Recorder. "Wild Boot Plants. The root plants growing all wild over the country ought to be examined and experimented upon by agriculturists. "We have abundant en couragement in favor of such a course, in the history of tobacco, potato, sugar beet, spearmint, wiutergreen and a host of other natural products that, by judi cious culture, have been raised from the Tank of weeds to a first-class position among profitable crops. The sugar beet especially is worthy of note; it was originally an unsightly plant' growing wild in southern Europe. By culture it has been improved and changed in char acter, and now yields nearly one-third of the total sugar crop of the world, and represents an industry worth some hun dreds of millions of dollars. As the government of the United States has set aside large tracts of land to endow agri cultural colleges,itis not asking too much for some of these institutions to cause ex periments to be made upon what are now called weeds. Many of these wild plants contain alkaloids, sugar, tannic -acid and fiber for paper, and could by culture be converted into valuable products. Honolulu travelers visiting the crater of Kilakeua, during the first week of September, represent it as very active and brilliant. The old South lake was, on the 10th instM about 1,000 feet in length and 600 feet in width, boiling and spouting. Venice in 1877. It is the fifteenth of August, and" in the afternoon. The sky is almost as clear a blue as we have for most of the year in New York. The VeRetians consider it a remarkably fine specimen of their weath er. It is about as warm as an average warm day in July in an American city; but the movement of a boat over the water and the generally shaded canals prevent one from feeling the heat as in ordinary streets. On church steps, and in the churches, and lying loosely around generally, are numbers of Venetian men, as comfortably asleep as if they owned all the land around the Adriatic. Writ ing in view of the Grand Canal the Fifth Avenue of Venice and presuming that a large proportion of my readers have not seen the place, let me try to give, not a historical, or poetical, or rhapsodical, but a matter-of-fact and, let me hope, com mon sense view of the city. Several large and many small islands, rifcing only a few feet above the sea, were taken pose.sion of by refugees from the mainland ; and as they fished and traded, and grew into a great community, they built according to the requirements of the place. Italian marble was near and abundant; labor was cheap; trade was long exceptionally good; conquest brought the spoils of other peoples and lands; and so in time a great city grew up, with only narrow strips of walking snace alonsr the sides ot the houses, the middle of the street (as we should say) being water. The buildings having gone up as they were wanted, no order was followed. Hence the little canals are crooked and winding in every conceivable way, aDd a multitude of small bridges is rendered necessary. The bridges are generally low, and the arch form is preserved outside, an easy stair way following the arch. Numerous lanes three to five feet in width connect main thoroughfares, and high houses rise on each side, with the lower windows iron-barred like those of a prison. The houses rise, without any sidewalk, out of many of the canals, and especially out of the Grand Canal the "palaces" and bet ter kind of houses having marble steps to the water. The backs of such houses cammoLly communicate with terra firma. The boat the only kind of conveyance, quadrupeds not being used coniey "to the hall door." Such is the general structure. Now for the houses. They are solidly, and many of them irregularly, built, most of them colored, very long ago, appar ently, with that peculiar pale yellow which is a favorite in Italy. Those with marble fronts have become so darkened and blackened that it requires an effort of memory to do justice to their material. The palaces are rather disappointing. They are on the Grand Canal, are known by thick posts in the water, many of them colored in stripes, so that they look like overgrown barbers' poles. Not a few of the largest are now hotels (I write in one of them), and on their scale of size, accommodation and comfort, we have many hundreds of "palaces" in3uch cities as New York, Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and Philadelphia. Marble stairs, inlaid floors, without carpets, and rather taw dry frescoing on the ceilings, mark them all. Let no American hanker after such palaces. Nor condolas. Divesteaoi the poetry, what isa gondola? A long, black, ill painted, generally rather shabby-looking boat, the bow of which rises well out t)f the water. It retains the "prow" of the ancient Boman galley, of which it is a descendant,and has a heavy iron, halberd like beak, which at a distance looks a lit tle like a swan's neck and head, and which counterbalances the weight of the man who stands on the covered stern and paddles the boat with one broad-bladed oar. The seats are in the middle, and a movable screen, round or square, cur tained usually, covers them. Those of private families have a useless train of black cloth falling behind the seats, and giving a funeral aspect to the convey ance, and I regret to say, in every case coming under my notice, in keeping with the general look of faded respecta bility worn by Venice. Such is the gon dola of poetry and song, history and fancy. One can understand how it af forded some repose in a hot city that had no walks, where the houses overlooked everything, and the din aid clatter of Italian street talk are interminable. It must not be thought that this is the whole of Venice. It is, however, the Venice in which men and women live their ordinary lives,unafiected in any great degree by lions in bronze, or pillars in marble a thousand years old, or even by Titian's or Tintoretto's pictures, of which the most, as here presented, appear common-place indeed. It is not the old Veilice of grasping and successful am bition, of proud and boastful money- power; but it is that to which pride and ostentation in time conduct a people. Servility, lying, and the offensive forms of poverty are everywhere aj)parent. George Washington is highly venerated in Northern Italy. His bust, with the most flattering inscription, adorns Luga no, and a snowy hotel with his name invites American patronage. One could wish that his hatchet so familiar to American youth could be used here, for that power to tell a lie which he dis claimed is all too well developed. Venice has a palace on which millions have been expended, a profusion of churches with costly, pretentious and ancient decoration, but among the relics of her past her Bridge of Sighs is as famous as her Rialto (by the way, a very ordinary bridge), and her prison is in spected with more feeling than her pal ace. O, how sweet is the thought of Freedom, as one follows a guide's torch through those dark and narrow dens, in which justice was murdered with many a tortured victim l On Tery hand Art meets the eye in the frescoes, mould ing, cornices, in carvings, in mosaics in numerable. The tendency now is to magnify Art as a great civifizer. Art is the product of a luxurious and wealthy civilization ; but it is easy to overestimate it as an inherent civilizing power. One wood common-school, like some we know, would do more to elevate the pauperized and demoralized Venetians than all the costly and pretentious deco rations gathered around St. Mark's Place. Without ignoring the curious interest at taching to the ancient "Bride of the Adriatic," one turns away from it with profound thankfulness for the institutions of America, and the life of this nineteenth century. By Rev. John Hall, J). D. ,2V. Y. The Sultan's Way. Two hundred years ago when the Turks made war it was sufficient for the Sultan to command a thing, and it was done. When Suleiman the Great was marching to the relief of Breda, his ad vance came to the River Drave, and found it impassable by reason of a flood. The pasha in command, who was, by the way, the minister of war, sent a s-taft officer to the Sultan to say that it would be need ful to wait for the subsidence of the wa ters before the army could cross. The Sultan heard the message, and then said to the aide-de-camp: "Tell the pasha that in four days I shall be at the Drave with this army. If the bridge for us to cross is not then ready, I shall strangle him with my own hands." The bridge was ready and the army crossed at the appointed time, but several hundreds of men had been drowned in the process of bridging the flood. So when artillery was needed for the siege operations, and no artillery could be brought up, because'of the lack of roads, the Sultan had only to say: "Have artillery here or 'you die," and the artillery was always forthcoming, al though in several iustances metal had to be brought upon camels and the casting of cannon had to be added to the ordinary list of siege operations. A little of the same spirit remains with the Turks of to-day. They have no cavalry and no money to buy horses, and yet cavalry must be had. Orders are sent to the dis trict governors to send cavalry to the front instantly, and it is forthcoming. In every district there are any number of Circassians who are hankering after a fight with the Russians. The governor simply orders out these Circassians, and they help themselves to horses and arti cles of equipment wherever thev find them, and report for duty with smiling countenances, and no questions are asked. The cab companies of Paris have just started a new style of vehicle, which is very odd-lookiug, and is not very popu lar. It is a sort of cross between the London hansom and the French fiacre, the body thereof being like unto the hansom, but the driver occupies a seat in front, and not behind, as on the London cab. Just now it is not partic ularly pleasant to take a ride in one of the new carriages, as your Parisian cabby is nothing if not conservative, and the drivers who have charge of the new in novation are assailed on all sides by shouts and cries from their comrades that are more facetious than complimentary. "Wood-box," "vapor bath," "fire extin guisher," "Sedan chair on wheels," are some of the epithets wherewith the new vehicles are greeted. Chables Lamb's connection with Christ's Hospital is to be commemmor ated by the presentation of a Lamb's medal, in silver, to the best English essay ist of each year among the Blue Coat boys. The die has recentlv been finished. A Neglectful Liver. The bile has a three-fold part assigned to it by the great manager, Nature. It' assists in the digestive process, acts as a coloring agent of the blood, and is essential to the evacuative function. When the liver grows torpid, complete chaos ensues in the stom ach and bowels; the bile is injected into the circulation in large quantities, and constipa tion and indigestion are produced. Fains under the right shoulder blade and through the right side, headaches, vertigo, yellowness of the skin, furred tongue and nausea, also follow. But these and other symptoms of biliousness, and the disorders which accom pany it, are entirely removed by Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters, that benign rectifier of or ganic disturbance and remedy for physical weakness. Intermittent and remittent fever, urinary and uterine troubles, rheumatism, gout, and other maladies, also yield to the remedial influence of the great corrective and invigorant. It is the people's chosen remedy. Leef s & Co.'s California Yeast Cakes. Wherever these Yeast Cakes have been used they have civen perfect satisfaction.
