FOB T1IE FARM A3ID HOME. RaJalna; CaiTM. A correspondent of the Rural Neu Torker Rives the following as his plan of raising calves: One porringer full of oil meal is wet in a pan with cold and then stirred into a kettle of boil ing water. The kettle holds about a pailful. This meal swelled so when ' wet that it made a porridge sufficient ly thick. This made enough for both morning and night for ten calves. About a quart of skimmed milk is added to the feed for each calf at first but this quantity is decreased as the calf grows until after a few weeks the milk is stopped and a cup of mid filings is added to each feed. This kind of feeding was begun after the calves had been fed new milk until they were about a month old. The result was very satisfactory. Straw for Farm Anlmall. Experiments having been made by F. IX Curtis in feeding animals with Ft raw in place of hay, he gives his experience in the Xew York Tribune in substituting the cheaper for the dearer fodder. A horse ate eighty four cents' wortli of nie.il and sixty cents worth of straw in one week. Hay alone during that time would have cost f2, a saving of over one fourth. The other animals, such as oxen and milch cows, did well on straw and corn fodder as a part of their rations. The butter was excel lent and the yield of milk satisfactory. He found bright straw superior to hay for horses driven on the road. Plenty of grain should be fed with the straw to animals at hard work. He thinks farmers can afford to sell a portion of their hay and then purchase grain to feed with their straw, making a profit by the exchange. IttnnnrlitB. It is becoming more and more evi dent, says Kdinund Ilersey, that in field culture barn manure should be applied in a fresh state, and so mingled with the soil as to encourage rapid de composition, and tli us create a mecha nical as well as a chemical action in the soil that is highly beneficial to the growing crop, which would be less if decomposition took place in the com post heap. The over-application of phosphate and potash does not result in that loss except by leaching, which arises from the over-application of materials containing nitrogen and carbon, because, though the soil is rilliil with molecules of mineral substances, water and air, to an extent far beyond the capacity of plants tr absorb, when they reach the surface of the soil the water evapora'es and the air mingles with its native element, thus separat ing from and leaving in the soil un-f-insumed the mineral elements; but when the soil is overcharged with tmleeules made up of air, water and nitrous acid in combination with am monia or carbonate of ammonia, the moment they come to the air they mingle with it and are lost. drafting Old Trtei. In selecting old apple and pear frees f ir the purpose of grafting, care should be exercised to take only those that retain their foliage late in the autumn. This will insure the growing f the graft sufficiently long to firmly establish it and cause it to remain un affected through the winter. In even instance that we have tried to raise fruit from grafts on old trees which shed their leaves early, we have failed. They would grow fur a few years, bear a few specimens, and then die. In grafting old trees, boughs six inches in diameter can be used. But such boughs only should be selected as have a smooth bark. Saw it at an angle so that all moisture will run off; split tl e bark down an inch an I a half; sharpen the graft from one side only; let the slant be the full length of the slit of the bark; raise the bark carefully and set the graft with the cut side next to the wood; then tie up with a cotton string and wax so that neither air or water can penetrate. The waxing should be examined in a few weeks to supply any defects, etc. Let an inch or two of bark remain, uninjured, be tween the grafts as they are set round the etump. When the stem is not over two inches in diinneter, four grafts can be set by splitting down the stem the usual way twice. If all grow, and are too many, cut out the two less promising ones.

The llofburg, the chief palace of the Austrian sovereigns, has been, says the London istaiitlnrif, the scene of an ec clesiastical ceremony or act of devotion which is a curious relic, of medieval customs. In accordance with a usage observed from time immemorial on Maundy-Thursday the ceremony of "Washing the Feet of the Poor" was performed as usual by their majesties at the imperial resilience. In the Middle Ages the custom prevailed at many other Catholic courts, but ii. the present day to lind a parallel would be impossible, except at the Vatican and the palace of the king of Spain. The proceedings opened at 1' o'clock, when twelve old men, of whom the oldest is in bis ninety-third year and the young est eighty-seven, and twelve old women, the oldest ninety-six, and the youngest ninety, dressed, as usual, in the old (ierman costume, presented to them by the emperor and empress, entered the court chapel, in order to recche the sacrament, ami were then brought into the hall of ceremonies at llofburg. On each side of the hall was a table with twelve covers, the one table for the old men and the other lor the old women. They are all citizens of Vienna, and many aim ng them show ed by their behav ior that they have taken part in the creinoiiy more than once. With the appearance of the clergymen, at 11 a. tit., the ceremony began. The emperor, who wa! follow ed by all the arclnliik's in Vienna, served the old men. and the empress, followed by all the archdm liessess and court ladies, served tic i Id Women at their respective tables. The cor s diplomatique was, as u-ual. in attend. ance, but this year the l!rit:li. Fn m-h and Turkish embassadors 1 1 : I not up. ( pear. All the ministers were pro-cut, ' as well as court diguatario and privy councillors, the chamberlains, the grand masters ami the highest repre sentatives of the army. The tables being removed, the rmp'Tor and em press knelt down in I roll t of the eld people, took off a shoe and s((,. king from each, washed the foot will towels moistened from a geldm ewer, held by a chamberlain. A I ter the feet of the cdcl people had been w iped. the arch- ' dukes and archdm hessess replaced the ; shoe and stocking, and their majesties . concluded the eereuionv bv hanging round the neck of each of the old poo- pie a purse with thirty silver llorins. ' The old folks were then sent home in abs. each w ith a well-iilled box of pro visions and wine, Killint? Tenderly. Science is about '.- take some of the pain and terror of death away from animals which it is necessary for man to slaughter. Mr. St. Ceorgc Lane Fox, a well known F.nglish electrician has devised an apparatus for killing animals which is absolutely painless. Worn-out horses which arc to be do. prived of life under this process, have their heads and feet weld il with salt water; they are then led into a stall and made to stand on an iron plate connected with a negative pole of a condenser of a capacity of about Ion microfarads. The animal's head is then touched with the top of the pole whereupon it falls dead. There is no pain, for there is no sensation, or pos sibility of anv. It requires oiie-iifth ot i second after the infliction of the in jury l-efor pain tan be fell; but in this cast tie animal is killed in about the thousandth part of a set end. I 'n fortunatcly, animals slaiignttrt-d for food cannot be treated in this way, as the fiesn is iint-ittiilnV. This new pro cess, therefore, run only be iucd tor horse, dogs, and cat, not intended fot food sply. It is wull known that an Glials killed by lightning i an not lu eaten and must be bnrued or rmried. I Jut here again scie.ice has takeu a stej forward. An Lngadi society for pro viding a sanitary and humane niuthod of killing animals for food have raisel a fund fcr erecting a iwM abattoir in London. Everything that nkill and experience can suggest for initiiiiiiinji tiie pain of the infliction w ill be cm ployed. For sheep the arrangement includes a stupefying chainber.thriuigh which each animal will pass on its way to the knife. The anestlutif used can be produced for a trillinp cost. The quality of the lli-sli is by n means deteriorated by these humane devices. In view of the revolt inj; scenes which take place at our piiblu executions, why should not capita punishment bcintlictel by an elect ri machine, such as that used by Mr. St George Lane-Fox for making awa with useless and disabled anima's?

The federal district is fifty square leagues in area, and comprises the city of Mexico, which is the capital of the republic. Philadelphia is going into new busi uess. ne company has been organ ized there to make paper from the scrub palm of Florida, and beautiful paper it makes; and another will mae beet sugar, expecting to grind up 3 ("00 tons annually, producing 4,5JO,000 pounds of sugar, 198.000 gallons of molasses, with ToOOtons of cattle feed from the residuum.

The iron is said to be equal to the best in Missouri, and the coal superior to the best in Pennsylvania. The mill, when finished, is to employ several thousand hands. It appears from certain notes recent ly published in relation to the New York silk exchange, that any one in terested in raising silkworms in this country may procure eggs gratis of this society. A much esteemed variety arc the Japanese silkworms, recently imported to the number of 20,000.000 The interest in this industry is steadi ly increasing, and promises to become of great importance not only to the dealer in silk fabrics hut to the culti vator of the soil. Norwegians, it appears, have very little c ntidene in the American pot a. to. The consul-general for that country and Sweden has informed the various foreign vie -consuls that the royal prohibition, existing since 17i, against the importation of potatoes into .Norw ay, has been raised as far as European parts are concerned, and that consequently potatoes may here after be brought into Norway from any port in Europe. On the other baud, the prohibition still remains in force as regards potatoes from America. .loli n (ircgory, of Camden.

The recent researches of Sir William Thomson, on the respective intensities of sunlight and moonlight, gave re sults differing widely from those reach ed by earlier experimentalists. Thus, the intrinsic brightness of the Glasgow sun in winter is found to be three times that which determined by Arago for the sun in France. Again, the light of the full nioon was found to be l-71,000thof the light of the midday sun ; whereas Bouguer placed it at l-;i00,000th, Wollaston at l-800,000th, and Zollner at 1-filS.OOOth. 11 I'M AN II . VI It. Source From Which Varlon Colors nil Qualities Ave Obtained. In a tour of investigation a Phila delphia Times reporter dropped in at a Mrs. Buch's. That lady was deftly plaiting a wig on a wooden bhnk or dummy. She w as a little alarmed al first, but when the scribe explained the object of his visit proceeded to de scribe the manner of obtaining hair in Europe and America. "You see, in Germany," said the liuly, "there are men going around a!) the time among the country girls to buy up their hair. They pay a silk handkerchief, or apron, and s unetiiiies a collide of dollars. As a rule a girl's hair grows again every three years, but that varies considerably much with the person. Now my brother-in-law's mother, who died here aged nine ty years of age a couple of years ago. used to have her hair cut twice a year. It was silver-gray and fry valuable." "What is done with the hair after the girls sell it '" "There are big factories 'n the large towns. The hair is cleaned llnd sorted and then sold at prices varying with its color and quality. A good deal of it comes to this country. The most valuable shades are gray, blonde, and white. Ashen blonde is very dear. The true shade will bring So an ounce. The most expensive of nil is gray. It is worth $b to $-"iO an ounce, according to its length. A lady bought a gray switch in New York the other day and paid s0O for it Ulack hair is the cheapest. Any hair can be dyed black." "Don't some of the hair used in the business come from the dead?" "Very little of it. It can always he known by the touch. It seems to be dead and dry. just like straw." "Do American women sell their hair?" "So; the peojde are not poor enough. Now and then you see a wo man with a superb head of hair, worth f,r0 or f K0. but she will not part with it. The convents supply us with a good deal of hair. The sisters sell it twice a year. Occasionally a little girl comes and sells her hair, but a grown woman never." "What is this beautiful blonde hair V ' asked the reporter turning over some in a box." "Why, that's Chinese hair bleached. Some of it is imported from China, and then the Chinamen here in the city sell us their hair, 'theatrical people use it. A Chinese hair sw itch can be bought for $1 or l.'iO. There is a Chinese laundry a few doors from lo-re. The launlry men sell us their hair very cheaply only seventy-two cents a pound. It is so short it isn't worth much. When they sell us long hair we pay Id to a pound. The hlonde bleaohed Chinese hair goes through a relining process; it is soft as silk -jn-t feel it." "How about the hair of eolored pe.i pleV" "Their hair is too short. Can't do anything with it in our line, unless it he to make up wigs and beards for the negro minstrels. It would be useful then, because it alwavs stavs in curl. I'he hair of negro w omen doesn't grow long: ten inches Would be quite out ol the ordinary." "Where else do you get hair from besides Germany ?" "From Naples. This js the poorest hair in the trade. It is coarse and lias roots growing on it. It is dyed a dark brown, but fades to reddish gray or black in a short time. It is dirty and unpleasant to handle. 1 have been told that it is hair taken from bodies that have lain in the ground many years. That accounts for the long roots. The Swedes send us beautiful long hair. We pay ft to 'Jo nil ounce for it." "Where does the host hair conic from ';" "From Paris, prepared by a man named Pelleray. Ilis hair is always live, healthy hair, and every box is marked with his name." Loss to Science. Science has lost an enthusiastic and most promising explorer and investi gator by the death of Mr. Frank Hat ton, the eldest son of Joseph llattoii1 the London journalist. At the time of his death Mr. llattoii was not yet twenty-two years f age, yet he had achieved many honors, and had show n the possession of powers, which, if he had lived, would have placed him in the front rank of naturalists. From boyhood he bad manifested wonderful familiarity with the habits and ways of the dumb creation. It was said of him that he could charm the w ildest of the tenants of the field ami wood. As a chemist and a mineralogist, how ever, he excelled, and his researches into the influences of gases on bacteria made him an authority on that sub ject before he was twenty-one years olfl. His success in this direction gained for him the Frankland prize and an election as associate of the In stitute of chemistry. His lingual proficiency was something marvelous. He had already mastered several East ern dialects, which he siioke with flu ency, among them being Malay and other little known languages of south ern Asia, At the time of his death he was at work upon a dictionary of the Dusun language. While engaged in elephant hunting in Borneo, Mr. 1 1 at ton's rifle became entangled in the bushes, and he was killed by it acci dental discharae. A REMARKABLE STORY.
