INTERESTING 10 FARMERS.
Orrhard MamiKeiurii.
A common mistake in years pa t,
which the planters of orchards fell in
to was in supposing that orchards did
not inquire us much care and enrich
ing as any other crop on the farm.
Many set out young trees and gave
them little more attention. They
erroneously supposed that in time these
trees would hear abundantly of tine
fruit, and bring them in plenty of
money. The trees were expected to
take full care of themselves. The re
suit was that some died the first year,
a good many th second and in a few
years but lew remained. A ne'ghboc
set out a hundred line peach trees.
They were translated into a clover
meadow, and allowed such chance as
the'plaee afforded them. In two years
only three remained. Success, haw
ever, is often better, but without
proper treatment the trees will make
poor growth, and yield a small and
poor fruit.
Ia contrast with these was an or
chard of a few apple trees in an ad
joining State on a place of a few acres,
the owner of which made it a rule to
spread all the enriching material he
had of any kind, the manure of the
horse and cow, on the orchard ground.
No crop was raised beneath the trees,
and the ground was so rich and mellow
that it could be easily kicked loose
with foot. Those trees were loaded
with large and beautiful fruit, while in
other orchards in the neighborhood
they were small and few. Another
owner of a hundred and thirty acres
made the raising and the sale of fruit
his chief business and source of profit,
selling his annual entire crop for about
five thousand dollars. The. rest of his
farm was tributary to his orchards, and
all or nearly all the manure made on
the farm was given to his fruit trees.
This treatment gave him good crops
when others had noue, and large and
attractive fruit, when in other orchards
the apples were small and scabby.
No one should set out a new orchard
unless he is sure he can give it both
manure and mellow cultivation. A
small one of a few acres, bearing yearly
rich and beautiful specimens, is better
than a .neglected one spreading over
wide acres. There will be more profit
in the small and perfect one than in the
one extended and neglected. Until
olanters who have the mean avoid this
superficial practice, they will continue
to set the unwholesome example to
others, and perpetuate to a great de
gree the alipahodstyle of orcharding.
It ia well therefore for the planter to

says the Ik-von is. still another aiarms
that the Miortimni is, and we can firs!
those who will claim that nearly euiy
breed in existence is general purpose.
Now the position that we havu always
taken is simply this: We can reduce
the milk characteristics and Ireed iu
the beef line, in the dairy herds, and
make w hat might be vailed a general
purpose cow. on the other hand, we
can breed the beef breeds on die dairy
line and increase the dairy charae'er
istics, but reduce the beef proJu-ing
characteristics, and get what might be
called a general purpose cow. As a
rule the highest beef characteristics
and the highest dairy characteristics
are not found in the same animal. We
think that that will be generally ad
mitted. Now suppose a man is so situated
that he can make the dairy particularly
profitable. It seems to us that he
wants a cow that v. i'l give the greatest
possible quantity of milk under reason
able care -quality of course, being con
sideredand that every ounce of milk
that he take3 from the udder, as it
were, and puts into the body of the
cow, is a loss to him; and that when
beef is the prime object, he is not wise
in dividing the forces of the animal
system, between producing milk and
producing beef. We do not believe
that it is the most profilable-to attempt
to produce beef and milk in the same
animal. "The beef producing breeds
generally give rich milk, and in sufii
cient quantities for home consumption.
If that is the aim there are thousands
upon thousands of general purpose
cows; and occasionally a n'gniy de
veloped beef producer will be a highly
developed milker. Indeed, whole fam
ilies are of tiiat character.

I have noticed with surprise the
number of people who have been bitten
recently by spiders, and the case of the
death of a girl in Jersey City from this
cause is fresh in mind. Whithin a
week 1 have met three acquaintances
suffering, as they told me, from spider
bites, and one of them had a hand so
badly inflamed that he was afterwards
obliged to have it lanced. In this con
nection a housekeeper has shown me
two specimens of "thousand legged"
bugs that found in his house.
They were each over an inch in
length and had twelve legs cm a side
and two long feelers. The body and
feelers were striped, zebra like, in black
and white. I suppose they will be
given to some entomologist for exam
ination, and while these particular
varieties may not be closely enough to
centipedes to be poisonous they are at
least unpleasant companions for a lady
to find running about the house, and
make Iter think she has been a cei.ti

never seen abroad aiy re than are
women of condition a; the Hin
doos. In Persia, Tmi. y. Fgypt, an
' other hinds similar ha'..i; observed,
i Among mwse "f the? people, however,
'' the custom of seehHcn has taken on
' another phase. The women, when per
j mined to go out, carry their hiding
! with !h( m in the shape of a veil. At
j the beginning this is an opaque cloth
i wrapped around and around the face
j and body, ten or more yards often be-
ing used for the purpose in the orient.
'l'he custom of hiding away vonrn
having as its origin the anxiety of the
man to keep his treasure for himself, is
undoubtedly of Asiatic derivation. It
! seems never to have been iependelit
upon degrees of civilization, but niereiy
upon raee instinct. It is but a step
from (iermany, where any respectable
woman may walk the streets of a city
at midnight with impunity, to France,
in which country a girl is considered to
have sacrificed her reputation if she is
seen m the act of taking a stroll at
high noon with her own brother, l'or
how,' forsooth! is a stranger to know
that it is her brother?',
"The Tartars seclude their women,
bufthey do it by wrapping them up,
because they are a moving people and
must carry the seraglio with them. In
Africa the Moors disguise the ladies of
their harems in like manner when the
latter venture abroad, while in Syria
women wear long veils which are ele
vated above the tops of their heads by
what might be called horns of paper or
wood attached to the crown. It is to
this custom that the bible refers when
it speaks of having one's horn exalted.
The higher the horn, of course, tha
greater the appearance of dignity.
Among the ancient Jews the veil was
but little affected, the custom being for
women to consort freely with men."
'Tor ages past it has been the fa ihion
for women to seclude themselves in
times of mourning more particularly
when the mourning was for a departed
husband. The Hindoo widow today is
secluded for life. In the mourning
veil worn by widows among our people
is to be found a survival of this an
cient mode."
"From being intended for the pur
pose of hiding the woman, the veil was
modified among the old liomnns and
Greeks so as to become an article of
graceful drapery (lowing from the back
of the head. Nowaday a further stage
in its evolution has transformed it into
a mere shadowy protection for tiie fate,
designed a3 a preservative of beauty.
Oculists say that, even iu this shape it
is most destructive to the eye sight,"

Noted as a Designer,
Clarence Hanks, son of a Georgia ex
slave, but reared and educated in
Springfield, O., is somewhat noted as
the only colored designer in the I'nited
States pr as far as heard from in the
world. His history is quite romantic.
Several years ago the authorities of
Springfield offered a prize to the pupil
who should get up the largest number
of original designs, and the prize waa
won by a little girl, who made twenty
three. "When this was told in ths
colored school of that city a coloreJ
boy promptly dec'ared that he could
produce twice as many, and to the
amazement of tho teachers he did it.
Some of his designs were so unique
original that they were widely exhibi
ted, and he produced many more for
wall paper, oilcloth, glass windows
book covers, ect which were exhibit
ed, at the New Orleans Cotton centen
nial. The boy's mother, Mrs. Sadie
Hanks, a caterer, soon saved money
enough to give Clarence a term at the
Cincinnati art school, where he won
high honors, lie theti went to New
York, w here he has done some very
good work, though prevented by his
color and age he is now but IK from
getting a first ciass position.
Clarence is of a purs African blood
except for a trace of Indian, as his ma
ternal grandfather was a chief of the
Delaware tribe. The Indians often ex
hibit great skill in designs for their
moccasins, canoes and other articles
and the Delewares are among the fore
most in that line. Clarence's father
was bom a slave on a plantation near
Macon, Ca,, and located in Springfield
soon after the war.

about .125,OW,0UO has been spent to
ward maintaining the state and house

intrusted to the closest hands. It is
said that she has never lost a penny by

The amount of real estate she owns
