HOUSEHOLD AND FARM.
Early Feeding of Steer.
Gradually the plan of feeding off young
will grow upon uh, the fact is rapidly being
impressed upon teedera and consumers that
the old-time custom of keeping feeding stocK
till fully grown, haa had it? day. Consumers
are learning that high-bred tock attains goou
growth, and that the side9 and top are so well
made up of goou, thick muscles, that the cuts
areot good thickness: that the meat is wen
filled with rich juices, and even at the age of
a year and a halt' it has lost all indications of
greenness want of maturity is ol mo very
best quality and beefy. A salmon that weighs
a pound is as good tor the table as one that
weighs two pounds. A tat cnicnen at twelve
weeks is as good eating us the hen ot two
years, and better. The fat lamb of six months
is better mutton than tue oiu sneep. Ann, oia
usage and piejudice to the contrary, , the steer
ot two years, or the long vearnng, it oi deep
breeding and well fatted, will make beef of
the very best quality ana uavor.
The idea of greenness or immaturity in
veal or roast pig, is apt enough ; because in
these cases the transformation from calf meat
to beef, or in the other case, from the meat of
the sucking pig to that ot the corn-fed hog, has
not taken place. The milk on which these
young animals live, while it contains the re
quired constituents for making bone, muscle
and fat, still is light food, and is used tor
building upon a juvenile foundation of tissues.
The exact period when the calf ceases to bo a
calf, uo far as its meat product is concerned,
has not been fixed. The transition is gradual,
depending upon growth and approximation
toward maturity, as in the caso ot the tomato
or peach. Yet, in the calf it depends in quite
a degree upon the food given. In proportion
as the calf is early accustomed to food like
that given to the fattening steer, will its flesh
change from veal to beef. That the change is
fully ready to occur, and does take place be
fore the beast has arrived at the age which
makes him a yearling, is quite certain.
That the flesh ot tho well fattened long year
ling is mature containing all of the constitu
ents belonging to the three-yoar-old is quite
certain, having the same muscles (lean meat),
with a similar proportion of fibrin and rich
meat juices, is equally certain. That its flesh
is more tender, hence, by lair inference, easier
of digestion, is quite reasonable to assume.
That the flesh of the young steer is less liable
to be lessened in healthfulness through local
disease in any organ, is well assured, as the
aged steer, through long continued exposure
to miasmatic influences, is quite liable to con
tract liver derangement, resulting, if long con
tinued, in organic disease. Healthy organs
insure healthy digestion and healthy meat pro
duct. The internal functions, disturbed by
local ailment, or even by indigestion, furnish
unhealthy additions to tho blood directly
through the faulty digestion, or indirectly
through absorption of pus, in local ulcers;
and these may be of considerable extent if
confined to the liver, and quite apparent if in
other and more sensitive parts, and yet not
cause the animal to appear especially sickly.
Now, these contaminations are avoided in the
flesh of the young steer, because, like anew
carriage or harvester, all the parts are sound
and strong. No rot has entered any of the
joints, nor are any of the hearings going
wrong from disturbing influences.
Feeding off young will result in stimulating
to greater improvement, as unimproved cattle
cannot be finished up at two years, or as long
yearlings. Nothing less than a high grade
can go forward to the slaughter in gowd shapo
so young, neither can it raise the beam at a
figure that will insure thick, salable cuts.
When steers are more generally marketed
while young, more breeding cows will be re
quired to furnish the supply needed. Nation

Tub-Washed Waal.
Tub-washed wool is wool that has been
washed in the fleece after it has lett the sheep's
back. It is practiced to some extent, but not
very much in the est. JSo machinery is em
.ployed, so far as we have learned, except at
woolen mills. I here all wool Is scoured, (how
ever well it may have been washed previously,)
facilities being provided and experts employed
to perform the work in the best possible
manner.
When growing in its natural state, wool is
lubricated and preserved by nature with a
sticky substance generally called "grease."
This grease forms a very considerable part of
the weight ot unwashed wool, the lowest pro
portion being about 50 per cent., and tho high
est about 75 per cent. It consists of a kind ot
fatty soap, composed largely of potash, no soda
being present. When wool is washed, either
on the sheep's Dack or in a tub, a portion of
this grease is removed ; and more, ot course,
is taken out when the washing is fairly done
in a tub than in a stream or tank, and thus the
wool should bring a higher price.
But as a rule manufacturers prefer to buy
wool not tub-washed, for reasons that will pres.
cntly appear. Before wool can be used for
spinning the grease must be removed, and in
order not te injure the fiber, as well as to pre
serve its natural bright color, methods are em
ployed with which people generally are not
familiar. Sometimes the delicate fiber and
fine luster of excellent wool are destroyed by
being washed with soap utterly uuadapted to
the purpose, and by persons who are not in
formed how the washing should be done. Soda
soap is uusuited to it, for wool washed with it
is inclined to be harsh and brittle, with a yel
low tinge or color. A good potash soap is best
adapted to the purpose. Nature points out
what is best in preserving the wool with a fatty
potash substance; and in such matters man
finds that nature is always correct. A suitable
potash soap must, therefore, be preferable to
soda soap for removing the natural preserving
Bubptance. We may reasonably conclude,
then, that a strong alkali, such as soda ash,
soda crystal, or.till worse than either of them,
lime, should by no means be used.
Seen under the microscope, wool is found to
be a most delicate fiber, each hair or filament
being composed of concentric rings surround
ing and overlapping each other similar to
scales on the back of a fisn. A strong alkali,
used alone, removes every trace of lubrication
from beneath the covering of these minute
scales, completely destroying the luster, besides
unnecessarily diminishing the weight of the
wool. But the effect of a neutral potash soap
a soap containing neither a free or uncom
bined alkali nor an excess of tallow is only
to remove superfluous greasy matter from the
wool adhering to the outside ot the fiber, while
the internal condition remains undisturi ed.
This will explain why the mills generally
prefer wool that has not been tub-washed.
With well constructed machines, the use of
suitable soap, and with experts in washing,
"grease" wool is thoroughly cleansed with a
minimum amount of labor, and the wool is
not dnrff?,,1 f'ther n fiber or mine. Thr

Destroying the Cabbage-Worm.
My method of meeting this enemy has been
to begin in time, capturing the white-winged
butterfly that lays the eggs. If the cabbage
grower is remote from other plantations of
cabbage, considerable may be done in this
way. But as a -rule the butterfly will lay its
eggs, and the enemy must be met in its next
tage. Water heated to about 135 or 145 de
grees will destroy the worm without injuring
the plants ; but this requires more care and la
bor than will generally be given. With a lit
tie more heat the plants may be injured, with
less the enemy may escape. 1 have found
white hellebore, such as is used for the currant-worm,
equally destructive to the cabbage
depredator. My method is to boil a gallon of
water and dissolve in Jit one heaping tablo
spoonful of the powdered hellebore. A very
littlo sprinkled on tho plants will speedily tin
ish tho worms. The use of Paris (Sreen or the
equally poisonous Loudon Purple for this pur.
pose cannot bo too severely discountenanced.
The white hellebore is, it is true, sugutiy poi
sonous: but not at all as Pans Green is. I
only use the hellebore in early stages of
growth. After the plants begin to head I use
no more hellebore, but content myseii witn
promoting vigorous growth by frequent uoe-
me, and if need be, watering the plants. A
pinch of common salt thrown on a cabbage
plant in August will destroy the worm almost
as well as the hellebore, and win nestues pro
mote the tendency to form a solid, heavy head.
Salt is in fact one of the best special manures
for cabbage. My reason for not using it from
the first is because, while very young, the
leaves of the cabbage are tender and might be
Injured. Besides, if I used salt from the first,
the ground might be oversalted and the crop
injured rather than tiencntou. jsran, lime ana
other substances have been recommended to
destroy or drive away the worm after the head

To Make Posts Durable. J. C. Johnson,
Ohio. The "kyanizing" process you inquire
about, is not practicable on the ordinary farm
The following is simple and effective: Burn
the part of tho posts to lie set in the ground
including the bottom end, just enough to leave
a thin layer of charcoal all over the surface,
and then dip them in hot fur or asphalt. The
charcoal is indestructible by air and moisture ;
the tar or the aspualt nils the cracks ana in
terstices, and thoroughly protects the interior
wood. A barrel of tar or of asphalt is readily
obtainable in any large city, costs but little,
and will furnish a dip tor several Hundred
posts. Tho heating can be done in any large
iron kettle, with care not to have tho material
take fire. Tho charring can be done by build
ing a large fire of waste brushwood and put
ting on the posts, turning them to prevent too
deep burning in one place. Ordinarily the cost
of labor and material need not be over 2 to 4 cts.
a post, while such preparation will increase
three or fourfold their real value. As posts
decay soonest just at the ground surface, "be
tween wind and water," as the sailors say, it
is best to have the coating extend half a foot
above ground, and where looks are ot no ac
count, the whole post may be similarly treat
ed, which will make them almost indestructi
ble by decay. American Agriculturm.
ruining in June.
We have tried pruning in almost all months
of the year and on the whole prefer June.
This being about the busiest month of the
year, there is usually little time for pruning,
and so the tavoritc time is eariy in tne spring,
and many of our old orchards, in their rotting
limbs and decayed trunks, bear testimony to
the mischief wrought by the ill-timed use ot
the saw and axe.
Small limbs, an inch in diameter or less,
can be taken off at any time with comparative
safety. But tho thorough pruning called for
in a long-neglected orchard is best done in the
early summer. The sap is absorbed by the
rapid formation of wood and leaves; the wood
laid bare in pruning large limbs soon becomes
seared, tho healing process around the edges
of the wound begins immediately, and in a
few years the wound will be completely cov
ered with new wood and bark. There is no
chance for decay as when large limbs are re-
moved in early spring.
There is far too little pruning done in tbe
farm orchard. A dead limb should not be
suffered upon the fruit tree. Good pruning
leaves no stubbs, but cuts close to tne trunK or
branch bearing tho excised limb. American

O'Dyuanilte View.
From the Xew York Sun, May 13.
O'Donovan Bossa held a select mass meet
ing last night in a small up stairs room at 1
City Hall Place. Less than forty "men of
Irish blood and Fenian spirit" were present.
The doors were closed on all others. O'Dono
van Rossa, who sat at a round beer table, said :
"The white slaves of America are going to
cry out their eyes at Cooper Union to-morrow
night on account of tho slaying of Cavendish
and Burke, two men who represent a tyranny
that has slain millions of our race. What are
you going to uo about it?"
The question was discussed by several speak
ers, and it was finally determined to attend tbe
meeting and do everything possible to defeat
any resolutions that may be offered expressing
detestation of the murder of Cavendish and
Burke. Then O'Donavan Rossa read a docu
ment, which he said was au authentic procla
mation from the Executive of tho Irish Revo
tionary Brotherhood, and had been sent over
by cable from Dublin. It is dated May 8, the
day after the first published reports ot the
murders, and says thnt "there seems to be a
grave misunderstanding as to the aim and
scope of the late executions in Dublin." It
calls Secretary Burke a monster, and Lord
Frederick Cavendish, the brother of Lord
Ilartlngton and the son of the Duke of Devon
shire and a "lineal descendant of the infamous
Lord Broghill, who hanged the gallant, patri
otic MacKgan, Bishop of Ross," describes the
Land Leaguers as "sate treason mongers," and
concludes:
Now, furthermore, we call upon our broth
ers in America, particularly the Advanced Na
tionalists, to aid by every means within their
power the men who have carried out this ex
ecution, and we hereby further declare they
deserve well of their country.

regret that Irish Americans have been so

lacts are known, and with oilers of blood-money
to stimulate villains to further crimes. It
will be time enough to do this, the resolutions
say, when the Irisli-Americaus have denounc
ed" the murders done by English soldiery, and
offered rewards for their arrest anH conviction.

Mrs. Dudley wa9 shopping in a Chicago
dry goods store. She is sister-in-law of the
Mayor of that city and altogether reputable.
She was astonished when a clerk accused her
of stealing a handkerchief, and refused to sub
mit to a search. They dragged her, shrieking
and struggling into a private room, tore open
her clothes, and did not find the handkerchief.
When her husband was told of this he hurried
to the store and gave the clerk a thrashing,
lie also brought suit for $10,000 damages, but
as the clerk was likely to le confined to his
bed a week by his Injuries, he consented to
let that fact and $500 satisfy him.

To the Editor: D. J. Carr, U. S. signal ofll

Decatur is tho county seat of Wise county,
which joins Decatur on the west and is about
25 miles from tho city of Denton.
It will bo observed that tho rain fall for 1881
was 34.01 inches, 1.10 greater than at Pilot
Point, and 118.38 inches for tho year ending
March 31st, 1882.
In this connection it may be interesting to
noto that the average annual rain fall at Otta

20.92 inches, including melted snow.

( Hegular correspondence. )
Washington, D. C, May 16, 1882.
This being the third Monday of the month,
the session of the House wa9 devoted to action
upon motions to suspend the rules for the pas
sage of bills.
The bill to extend tho charters of the Na
tional Banks will be taken up again to-mor
row, and an effort will bo made to reach a final
vote. It is not probable, however, that this
bill will be passed before Thursday, owing to
the large number of amendments that will be
presented.
Tbe Republican caucus has decided to call
up a number of contested election cases dur
ing the week, and the Republican contestants
will probably bo seated.
The appropriations committee will soon bo
ready to ask consideration for the Pension bill,
and the Legislative, Executive and Judicial
appropriation bill, both of which have been
perfected by the committee and will probably
be reported to tho House on Wednesday.
THE SENATE.
The 5 per cent, bill was taken up in the Sen
ate to-day. It provides for the payment to the
various public land states of 5 per centum of
tho value of tho lands reckoned at the Gov.
rnment minimum price which have been
located by soldiers' scrip or bounty land war
rants within their respective boundaries.
When this bill and the Board of Health bill
shall have been disposed ot, an animated con
test for precedence may be looked for among
the respective champions of tho Bankruptcy
bill, tho Geneva Award bill, tho Japanese In
demnity Fund bill and the Fads' Ship Rail
way bill, the claims of all of which have al
ready, on sevefhl occasions, been argued for
immediate consideration. Tho prospect for
tho passage of Mr. Eads' Ship Railway bill
is not bright. It is difficult, without actual
demonstration, to prove tbe feasability of trans
porting loaded ships across the Isthmus. Dem
onstration in this case will bo a very expen
sive experiment. Mr. Eads is opposed by tho
gigantic monopolies that have railroads made
or planned across the continent, and also by
the frionds of the Lesseps canal. Some very
eminent engineers believe in the feasibility of
the undertaking, while others insist that the
jarring and shaking to which a ship would be
subjected through transportation by rail would
make her unseaworthy. The opposers of this
argument urge that the shaking on a railroad
prepared especially for ship transportation
would not be as trying to the strength of a ves
sel as is tho rude machinery with which every
ship is first launched, and they urge, with
much plausibility, that a ship built to endure
the rough treatment of wind and wave will
rest on these cars as in a harbor. Surely this
is a wonderfully progressive age, and it is not
impossible that before Lesseps completes his
Darien canal, or turns central Africa into an-
other Mediterranean, we may see ships mov
ing across tho Mexican isthmus, over a track
of immense width, supported on gigantic
trucks, and drawn by engines of stupendous
strength.
There are rumors, which, however, can I
traced to no authentic source, that Mr. Conk
ling will be offered the portfolio of the Secre
tary of State, and that the present secretary,
Mr. Frelinghuysen, wil! be made Minister to
England instead of Mr. Lowell.
Guiteau's appeal was lengthily argued be
fore the court in banc last week. No decision
will be rendered until the 2'2u of May, but the
decision of the court below will lie affirmed,
and Guitcau will be hanged on Friday, the
iOth of June, just one year, lacking two days,
from the date of his crime.
