AGRICULTURE.
STOCK FEED FOR FALL AND WINTER..-In
view of the etriaiuiy ot iliu scarcity o
corn, and of high prices for all sorts of
food for live B.eck dutiug the corniug f.ll
and winter, farmers cannot be too careful
of the supply on hand. Straw and corn
fodder are suic to be much more largely
used as supplementary feed than heretofore,
especially at the West, where siraw and
even corn stalks have hitherto been lightly
esteeh-ed for leeuiug put poses in many
places. During the terrible drouih on <he
Pacific coast a couple of years ago, wh u
thousands of stock siaivcd to death, loud
regrets were heard on all sides at the tool
ish Atvste and utsltuciiou of siraw at
threshing time ; lor had it been stacked so
as to keep well, it would have oeeu a g.xl
send to cattle and their owners in tnose
days and mo"tha of famine. R ither ihau
ovet economize by reduciug the feed of
stock too much, however, would it not be
better to weed out one's herds aud docks
and dispose of all interior animals early
before ikey have finished their feed sup
supply of those it will pay to keep ¥ With
animals intended lot market it is more
economical to give them lull leeei, so as t.
have them ready lor sale as soon as possi
ble, rather ihan reduce their rations and be
lorced to keep them longer. Now is a
good time to lay plans tor economizing
feed during the coining winter.
RADISHES AT CHRISTMAS.-Farmers' fami
lies can have their bed ol radishes from
the first of December to the first of Feb
ruary with so little labor as not to be worth
considering. All farmers have plenty of
horse manure to be used in what is called
a "hot bed." Make a name or box of
boards say six by three feet, or as much
smaller or larger a9 may be desired; dig
out the earth from eight to twelve inches
in dtpih; fill up to nearly level to the
grouud with hor.e manure; put ou the
frame; top off with about three inches of
good soil. Sow the radish seed—we pnfer
the Long Scarlet Suort Top, or the Loug
Salmon wiil answer. Theu C->ver, or only
partly cover the frame with old sasn ; it
you have no sah you cau make enough.—
While the weather is warm the asn
should b- eutireiy off, ami almost at all
times it should be uncovered from ten to
to two O'CICH k ; at,d it the weather should
be vtrv cold c<vn with some oci carpet*
or Icarus. A fiame snd sash will Inst tioni
six to ien years. For breaklast, hut tor

USB r E FALLEN LEAVES- Leavesbave to
be gathered up. They are excellent to mix
with bot-t>ed materia', and, whn practica
ble, should be saved for tb'.s purpose.
They do not beat so rapidly as stable ma
nuie. and in ibis have an advantage; as
tempering the violence makes tbe manure
last ionter and maintain a more regu ar
beat. 1 bey ere excellent material to put
around cold lramea to protect half-hardv
plants. A boart is put up to tbe height
of the frame boards, and about a foot or
more from them, aud ihe leaves in between.
If the plants are somewhat tender,the.botom
of tbe fiames n. ay be filled a few feet with
the leaves. These haves after having been
two or three years decaying make admira
ble siujff for plantß ana iio -vers generally.
WITH corn, the best way to rid the field
cf sn.ut is to pass through it and gather
and LUID all ine fcfftfteo tars pud stalks.
In this way the njbny miliums of spores
are kept from being spread and continuing
the p< st. With the smaller grains, as
wheat and cats, this nnthod, though it is
the nr. est tficctive, would pro!ably be im
practicable. 1 Lough the remedy is uoi
ea-y of application, it is a step forward
ID the work, to kLOw the txaci nature ol
the trouble, tad alcut this there is no
doubt, bn.ut is a small parasitic plant
preying upon those of a hiuher order.
PLOWII.G for sprrng crops may be done
now, and the soil left rough to be subject
ed to tbe fullest possible action of the
weather, bbould weeds come up in any
quantity after the plowing, the ground
may be harrowed, or if very bad, plowed
again. Stiff clay land is greatly benefitted
by ridge plowing. This is done by turning
two furrows agaiDSt two others. Such
lands mutt be plowed rgain in the spring,
splitting these furrows, which wili bring
the soil into a much improved condition.

BONE DUST F.>P. MELONS. — An Indiana
farmer tried four different fertilizers lor
melons--poultry dr< ppiDgs,well rotted cow
manure, barnyard manure and old bones
(gathered upon the farm and reduced by
placing tbem in alternate layers with ahes
the previous year), mixing all liberally in
the different hills, which were eight feet
apart each way, and he says:—''Such a
c-op of me ODB as came from the hiUs thai
had the bone dust 1 never saw before."
SUGut BEETS. —In France it is generally
recogi.izea a*aiule that tbe sugar beet
should uever be cultivated upon a fresh
maLiire or larnyard manure, because this
system of culture gives a large yield in
weight, but loots so rich in foreign matters
thai they can Dot be worked with profit.
The best, should always form the second
rotation when the manure is strong.

Peril* of the I>wep.
fhe world-renowned swimmer, Gapt.
Paul Bovton in an interview with A newg
pnper correspondent at the soashore, related
the following Incidents 'n his experience :
Reporter. "Capt. B >v f on, yon must
hav seen a large part of the world T '
Cant. B>v f on. —"Yog sir. by the aid of
mv Rubber Life having Dress, I have
traveled over If, 000 miles on the rivers of
America and Europe; have also been pr •-
sen ted to the crowned heads of England,
France, Ger' anv. Austria. Belgium, Italv,
Holland. Spain and Portugal, and have in
mv possession forty*two medals and deco
rations ; I have three lines received the
order of knighthood, and been elected
honorary member of committees, clubs,
orders and societies."
Reporter.—" Were your various trips
accompanied bv much danger?"
Cat. Bovton —'That depends upon
what you mav ca'l r angerom. During my
trip down the river Taurus in Spain, i had
to "shoot" one hundred and two water
falls, the highest being about eighty-five
feet, snd innumerable rapid a. Cr >ssng the
Straits of Messina, 1 had three ribs broken
in a fight with sharks; and coming down
the Somane, a river in France, 1 received
a charge of shot from an excited and
startled huntsman. Although all this was
not very pleasent, and might be termed
dangerous, I fear nothing more on my trip
than intense cold; for, as long as my limbs
are free and easy, and not cramped or be
numbed, lam all right. Of late I carry a
stuck of St. Jacob's Oil in mv little bot,—
(the Captain ea'ls it •• Baby Mine," and has
ifored therein signal rockets, thermometer,
compass provisions, etc.) —and 1 have hail
but litle trouble. Before starting out I
rub mvself thoroughly with the article,
and its ac'ion on the muscle is wonderful.
From constant exposure 1 am somewhat
subject to rheumatic pains aud nothing
would ever Ixmeflt me, until I got hold of
'this Great German Remedy. Why, on my
travels I have met people who have been
Buffering with Rheumatism for years; by
mv a Iv ce tb'V tried the Oil, and it cured
them. I would sooner do without f.xid tor
days than be without this remedy for oue
hour, lu fact, 1 would not attempt atr
without it."
The Captain became very enthusiastic on
the subjimt of St. Jacob's Oil, and we left
him citing instances of the curative quali
ties of the Great German Remedy to a
artv around him.
A VERY dilamdated-looking tramp en
tered the counting-room of one of Jersey
Ci'y's weatldest storekeepers, and, coming
up to the ssked,
"Am't your folks from Posey County,
Indisnv?"
"Yes."
"And vnur name John Smith?"
"*es."

' Here i a quarter take it aud go."
The long-lost brother turned over the
quarter a time or so. and then said.
"Is a quare r all tou can spare your
lotg-lo<-t brothct?"
"That's all. Go now or I'll call a po
liceman," said the merchant.
"I'll acceo' the quarter on account of
our relationship. That's a family matter;
but, b sides bung your brother. I'm a
tramp and a dead beat. Now I apply to
vou professionally. Give me another
quarter."

THE electric light, as adapted to theatres
and the ball room, is said to be death to

revival of brunettes. This makes it bad
for families who already have two or three

them for brunettes. As nothing is paid
about the damaging effects of the electric
light in churches, blondes can still venture
in such places, and this is sotuo consola

the annoyance had ceased, and up to this date I
am not in the le.ist troubled by it, and am enjoying
