which the goober has beeu put In trade
of late years. No other single plant

Judge Gary and the Jurors.
1 Judge Gary has always had an es
pecial dislike for men who try to shirk
jury service on flimsy excuses, and a
number of good stories aro told of ex
periences that veniremen have had
with him. A little German once tried
to- get out of jury service on the plea
that he could not speak good English.
"You'll not have to speak any at all,"
said the Juilge.
"Well, Shudgo, I don't tlnk I make
! good shuror anyhow," persisted tjio
uror. ,
"Why not?"
"Well," with a motion towards tho
attorneys In the case, "I don't under
stand nodings what dose fellers say."
"Neither does any one else. Sit
down!" thundered the Judge.
Another Juror put in a sick excuse.
Have you anything from your doc
tor to that effect?" asked the Judge.
"Yes, sir," was tho reply, and the
doctor's certificate was handed up to
him.
"That's a good doctor," said the
Judge.
"Ono of tho best In the city," replied
the Juror.
"A very good doctor," went on the
Judge, not noticing what the Juror had
said. "He'll havo you cured by next
term of court beyond question, lie

"When your brass bedstead," said a
maker of those tilings, "begins to show
any signs of tarnishing you cun send
It out to one; of the repair shops and
have It newly lacquered for from ;i
to $5. It will then look as well as a
new one."
Ho said it seriously enough, but there
was something In his eye that Implied
a hidden meaning In tho words. Evi
dently he waited to bo questioned, and
he was gratified.
"What Is the process of lacquering a
brass bedstead?" was the question
asked.
"Why should I tell you a trade se
cret?" ho replied. "But I can hardly
call this a trade secret, beoause it be
longs to a dozen trades In common.
The gaslltter puts tho same lacquer on
your brass chandelier that we put on
your bedstead. Your brass picture
frames, if you have any, are treated
in the same way. Nearly all the brass
work, except on shipboard, Is lacquered
to prevent corrosion and save labor in
polishing.
"The material used Is almply gum
shellac dissolved in alcohol. This
makes a thin varnish, which is applied
with a paint brush. Ten cents worth
will lacquer a brass bedstead, and an
ordinary workman will do tho work

A llevllflxh Ktory.
Monday morning, while Col. Good
year's crew were on the bar and a big
charge of dynamite was being raised
from the briny depths on account of a
faulty cap, which would not explode,
tho workers suddenly experienced a
pulling of tho lines which were attach
ed to It. Almost Instantly a terrible
commotion was heard In the waters
and the spray began to rise above the
little boat in immense waves. Sud
denly the two workmen, who were In
a small boat, were amazed to see the
tentacles of a monster devilfish soar
ing thlrly feet In the nlr.
The foaming sea was about to en
gulf the little craft, when the party In
the large boat observed tho commo
tion. The touch of an electric button
would havo ended the monster, but
tho cap had been tried and tho only
way to save them was to cut the wire
connection and tho ropes, which was
soon done, and tho terror of the seas,
after lashing around a short while,
disappeared, much to tho relief of the
party. The thrilling experience, as re
lated by several gentlemen, who were
in the parly, is Indeed marvellous.
Nothing like It was ever seen by them
before, and they all wonder how the
two men ever escaped from its awful
clutches. ltniiiHwlek (Ga.) Times.

FARM NOTES.
Trof. Craig says the best gain, all
things considered, that he has boon
nble to get with sucking lambs was
made with a ration consisting of four
parts of bran, four parts of corn meal
and one part oil meal.
Comfort Is as necessary a condition
for cattle as Is good food. One of tho
ndvnntagts of tho soiling system is
that the stock can bo made so com
fortable In cool, roomy stables. They
often suffer much from heat and llies
In summer pasture.
If the tops of clover are cut off, says
a writer, the roots will Increase iu
bulk much more than if tho tops had
not boon removed. It Is an Immutable,
botanical law that if the parts of a
plant above the ground are severely
pruned It will develop root growth.
In France, where land is valuable,
and n poor man cannot hope to own
many acres, tho soil space Is econo
mized in every way possible. In tho
sm.il! vineyards currants and other
small fruits nre often planted between
tho grape rows. This is ono way to
make the small farm pay.
Good farming includes many things
Ih'sldcs the raising of large crops and
fine stock. It Includes good fences,
good gates, drained land, clean fields,
buildings adapted to their purpose,
alid some attention to beautifying the
home. Indeed, many of those lay right
at tho foundation of good farming.
Good straw Is always worth taking
care of. Hye straw is the only sort
that we should advise selling off the
farm, and that only because the price
obtainable will usually enable one to
buy some fertilizing material to offset
tho loss occasioned by removing straw.
Hut oat and wheat straw will poy bet
ter to use at home, la feeding or bed
ding, or both,
Cob meal has Uttlo or no value as"
food nud may be said to practically
add no nutriment to corn mcnl, but
corn meal alone is liable to make a
heavy, compact mass In tho stomach,
hard to digest The cob meal mixed
with it helps to keep It loose and more
accessible to the action of tho gastric
Juice, and hence aids in its digestion.
Soil and fertilizer tests with tobacco
wore made In North Carolina last sea
son. Acid phosphate, cotton-seed
meal, kainit, barnyard manure, muri
ato and sulphate of potash were ap
plied to the tobacco land. Potash
gave the highest results of any single
olemout, but the highest returns were
obtained where these elements were
combined.
Toultry is nutritious and easily di
gested, and for these reasons the
farmer who grows it should reserve a
good supply for his own table. He
can afford the best as well as any
body. If he gees wholly on tho princi
ple of saving by confining his meat
diet to salt pork, It Is ton to one that
ho loses more through Inactivity of Ills
mind because of Mils Indigestible diet
than he saves by its decreased cost.
Kicking Horse.
We present herewith a method that
will be found available in all cases of
kicking by horses. The beast should
have a good pair of bits In bis mouth,
to wldch should be attached a strap or
ropo sufficiently long to reach bock be
tween and behind the fore legs about
eight Inches, and should pass through
the girt or surcingle. A loop should be
made in this, the back end of the rope
or strap, about two inches or more in
length. Now take a rope about seven
or eight foot long. (Tho length of tho
ropo will depend on tho size of tho
horse; the rope should bo long enough
to nllow of a free use of the horse's
hind legs in traveling.) Toss one end
of tho rope round the leg, upon the In
side, so the fastening shall come upon
tho outside, to prevent interfering,
and bring it round upon the outside
of tho leg, and pass tho end over and
around the middle of the rope nnd
wind It round the rope upon tho out
sldo of the leg, as illustrated. Draw
the noose up round tho pastern 1, e.,
between the fetlock and hoof and
pass the unfastened end of the ropo
through the lxp In the rope or strap
which passes through the surcingle,
and fasten the end round tho other leg,
as was done the first timo In fasten
ing. This mode of fastening Is simple,
is easily done and undone, and will
not work off, provided the noose is
drawn up tightly around the pastern,
if you havo a horse that is addicted
to the unpleasant habit of kicking, try
this experiment, nnd you will find that
it works admirably.
Removing Carbonic Arid.
A correspondent gives an account
of an extemporized apparatus for re
moving carbonic acid gas from wells.
It was simply an onencd-out umbrella
let down and rapidly hauled up a
number of times In succession. Tho
effect was to remove the gas in a few
minutes from a well so foul as to in
stantly extinguish a candlo previous
to the use of the umbrella. Whenever
there is an escape of gas in an apart
ment Uie adoption of this plan will be
found useful.
