It has the ad- vantage of being free from the seeds of grasses and weeds.â€"1€ural New Y ov'ker. Mr. Adam, formerly of the English Lo- !z’ation. Washington, and who married Miss Palmer, of Georgetown, I) C , is now secretary of the English Legation at St. Petersburg. Mr. Adam, who is a very distinguished linguist, won the prize for mastering the Russian tongue within the prescribed time allowed by/the English Government. - Last year I used some fizteen busiels of this kind of manure and found it avery ac- tive fertilizer. For potatoes and com I ap- plied it in the hill, mixing with that used for potatoes one-fourth its bulk of unleached wood ashes, dropping it. in the row and cov- ering it immediately. As there will be oon~ sidemble moisture present in such manure the addition of ashes sets free the ammonia to some extent; hence no time should be lost in getting it underground as the earth absorbs the fertilizing properties of the mam The accumulation under the roasts should be removed as often as oncen week, and this. shoveled ill a. pile, will begin to fer ment and generate more or less heat as the weather grows warm in spring. If closely watched and ahoveled over when undue heat is liable to be generated, the process will add to its value for the spring crops, as the manure becqmes decomposed by fermen- tation and its'fiarticlea are separated and mingled with the earth used as a. deoderizer and its crudenessis changed so as to be readily available for the growing plants.

If thrown into the compost heap. deposited with hog manure, nearly all its good qualities would be retained very likely, but I advise a diffi- rent course.

Another writer after making careful esti- mates of the damage done by dogs in the Forhhem States alone, finds it costs not less than $33.000,000 annually to support our dogs, a sum that would buy 165,000 farms at government prices for land, or it would purchase 132,000 neighborhood libraries of 200 volumes each. The ewes are naturally protected by their wool covering, but when lambs come into the world on a. cold, bleak day or night, they are too delicate to be left to the care of the ewe alone; and the farmer who ex- pects early lambs should be on the alert by penning the ewes that are liable to come in, and giving them good shelter and dry bed- ding, The first care of the lambs is one- half the difficulty removed, and if they get a good supply of milk they will do excellent- 1_v, but that is something. too, to be noticed, Feed the ewes liberally on all the hay they will eat, and give them a small allowance Of mixed ground grain, such as corn-meal and oats, with some roots. Should milk fever occur, feed on oats and hay alone, inducing the lamb to draw as much as possible by placing it occasionally at the udder. Give ewes that have lost their lambs others that are twins, which may be done if not post- noned too late, thereby allowing only one lamb to the ewe. A Tennessee man makes out a similar con- dition of affairs in his State. He finds there are 300,000 worthless dogs, which consume food enough. if fed to hogs, to make 30.000,- 000 pounds of bacon. which would be equal to feeding meat to 100‘000 able-bodied men a whole year. At ten cents per pound ‘the bacon would be worth $3 000,000, and if in silver would load down 94 two-horse wag. gone, and make a. wagon train more than half a. mile long. Again the worthless whelps prevent farmers from keeping 2 000,- 000 sheep; the mutton and wool from which would be worth $5000, 000. . Including the sheep now annually killed, the whole ex- pense for keeping the dogs of the State amounts to the pretty sum of $000,000. Tennessee expands $3 000,000 for educating her children. Three dollars for dogs. One dollar for children. The young Lambs. Although it its rather soon for estimating upon the number of lambs due, in a few more weeks some oi the ewes will come in, and if the farmer desires to push them forward mp- idly he must pay some attention to the dams now. The ewe'mnst endure the cold, be de- prived of her natural green food, and nourish the coming lamb in such a manner as to bring it fort-h strong and vigorous. The early lambs are the ones that bring the highest prices when rent to market, but an early lamb is a nuisance and unprofitable when it is stunted and dwarfed by cold and insufficient food. If the ewe is sound and heslthv, and has been well-fed on a. variety of food, she will have no diiflmlty in lamb- ing or providing for the lamb ; but the trouble is with the farmers, who invariably leave the ewes to themselves during that period, and give them no attention at a time when it is mostly reqtlired. Preservation of Hon Manure. AGRICULTURAL The Cost of Dogs The latest agent introduced for the relief ofnenralgin is a l per cent. solution of hy- peroemic acid, administered by subcutane- ous injection. It has been employed in Billroth’s clinic in a few cases. One of the patients had been a martyr to sciatica for years, and. had tried innumerable remedies, including the application of electricity no fewer than 200 times, while for a whole year he had adopted vegetarianism. Bill- roth injected the above remedy between the tuber iaohii and trcchnnter, and within a day or two the pain was greatly relieved, and eventually quite disappeared. It would be rash to conclude too much from these re- sults, in the face of the intractability of neuralgia: to medication, but if it really prove to be as efficacious as considered, by- porcsmic acid will be a therapeutic agent of no mean value.-â€"Lancet. n « .Légu But don't think of advertising in awe“- established newspaper. ‘ Not for a moment.

I doubt, inded, if he' pretends to be the mehdi. Any man who raises are- ligious enthusiasm and leads on a host is a mehdi, or leader, and the present rebel in the Soudan is a mehdi. But our religion teaches that before the advent of the last mehdi seven men shall successfully arise in various parts of the Moslem world, and by religious propaganda shall prepare the way for him. Each of these seven men shall be called either Ahmed or Mohammed. In my opinion this Soudan mehdi is the third. Lenoussi was the first, Arabi the second, and he the third agitator bearing one or other of the prescribed names. The real mehdi shall appear at Mount Ararat at the time of the Howaf, or Sacred Procession of the Haj. His coming will be foretold by the dumbuess of the seven mams, who shall in turn attempt to recite the Rhubeh and fail. Then the mehdi will ride out from the crowd of worshippers on a white horse, and he will at once be accepted by the whole Moslem world.

Farther particulars received from M r, Giles with reference to the fate of the re- lief party show that the victims endured un- mitigated hardships before they dropped down one by one in their endeavors to re- gain their camp.

Giles is anxious to return to the scrub as soon as possible, not with the hope of find- ing anv of his late comrades alivs. but with a desire to secure their remains from dogs and birds and give them a Christian burial, Giles accounts for his being able to hold out longer than his companions from his refusal to share with them the blood of the horses which his companions eagerly drank when- ever one of the animals became knocked up. Mr. Giles started off again to endeavor to rescue any of his companions, if found alive, but from his report there is no doubt all the rest perished. He telegraphid to Mr Todd, postmaster general of Adelaide : “I beg to report my return to Attack creek this after- noon. 1 start for the 'l‘ennant to-morrow and arrive there on Tuesday. I hunted for the bodies of my late colleagues on the plain and the edge of the scrub for four days, but was only able to find those of Shirley and» Arthur Phillips. Shirley's was under a bush about ten' miles from the water, close to where I left him, and Phillips was on the open plain about tour miles further off. I buried the bodies and read the burial ser- vices over them. I have no hopes of any of the others being alive, although 1 was un- able to find the bodies, as they must have wandered away from the track. I recovered afew sacks, rifles, etc., and will send the rest from Tennant's creek. I am glad to say that I feel better.” The following telegram was received from Mr. Giles : v “I am sorry to have to report that'all the police party, except myself and a black boy, died of thirst last \Vednesday; also all the horses.

In a few minutes it reaches home, and, having been shut up fasting since the previous evening, without much delay enters the trap cage connected with its 10ft, where'it is at once caught by the gardener or dispenser. who knows pretty well the time of its arrival, and relieves it of its dispatches.

Upon my return I found all the prescriptions arranged on my desk by my dispenser, who had already made up the medicines.” The recent discussion about the weight of Tourgueneff's brain has led to the publica- tion of an article on the subjact of the weight of brains by a] Russian scientist, M. N ikiforoff, in the Novosti. According to him the weight of the brain has no influence whatever on the mental faculties. The average weight of a. man's brain is, according to Luschka, 1,424 grammes, of a. woman’s 1,272 grammes : Krause gives the averages as 1,570 and 1.350 respectively. The max- imum Weight is said to be 1,600 grammes, and the minimum 200 grammes“ The brain of the celebrated minerslogist Haussmann weighed 1,200 grammes. It ought to be re- membered that the significance of the weight of the brain depends upon the proportion it bears to the dimensions of the whole body, and to the age of the individual. 7 Byron died at the age of 36, the geometrician oauss at 78 ye Ms of age ; the brains of the two should. therefore, not be compared. It is equally important to know what was the cause of deuth, for long disease or old age exhaust the brain. To define the real de- gree of development of the brain it is, therefore, necessary to have a. knowldge of the condition of the whole body, and, as this is usually lacking, the mere record of weights possesses little significance. - I I can not close without a last word about the earthquakes.

It was found that at certain times the sulphurous vapors and noxious gases escaping through the cracks in the earth. in these valleys were so dense and poisonous as to be destructive to animal life, and at such times had so affected the na- tives that they had retained the memory of such places and avoided them forever atter‘ ward.
