4 A LEVEL HEAD, ‘The Advantage of Presenos of Mind in an Emergency, Daring the late strike on the New York Central Rallroad, the militia were ordered to be in readiness in case of a riot, but they were mot called out. In an Interview, Gov. HII sald that ‘troops were not to be called upon ex- «cept in case of an emergency. The emergency had not arisen, therefore ‘they would not be ordered out. He remarked that this was the first great strike with which be had had experi- ence, and he did not propose to lose his head; the only point at which there had then beer serious trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy-sherlff ad lost his head and precipitated an «encounter, The strike continued several weeks and there was riotous action at various points along the road, but the civil authorities were able to cope with it without calling on the militia, The test of a man’s real ability Comes whem an emergency arises which makes a hasty call on his good Judgment and discretion, The man wi.0 retains his presence of mind, main- fains his equipose and exercises sound discretion at such critical jusotures, 1s to be relied on and will be put to the front. Men with level heads have the stay- img qualities which do not faiter in the face of danger, Otis A. Cole, of Xinsman, O., June 10th, 1880, writes: “‘In the fall of 1888 I was feeling very ill. I consulted a doctor and he said 1 bad Bright's disease of the kidneys and that he would not stand in my shoes for the state of Ohlo.”” But he did not lose courage or give up; he says: ‘‘I saw the testimonial of Mr. John Coleman, 100 Gregory street, New Haven, Conn., and I wrote to him, In due time I received sn answer, stating Lhat the testimonial that he gave was genuine and not overdrawn in any par- ticular, I took a good many bottles of "Warner's Safe Cure; h ave not taken any for cne year.” Gov, Hill 1s accounted a very success. dul man; he is cool and calculating and belongs to the class that do not lose their heads when emergencies arise, runners, struck in pots, may be plant. ed as soon ae strong and well estab. lished, and will usually have a very fair crop the next year.

As soon as the potato tops are dead, dig the crop. Expose the potatoes to the sun as little as possible. A slight exposure even to diffused light will cause some varieties to become green and unfit for food. As soon as blackberries and raspber- ries are gathered, cut away the old canes, Select new canes needed for fruiting next year, stopping their up- ward growth at the desired height. Treat all others as weeds. A sun-struck cow is ruined as a milker for this season, if not forever. Avoid such a calamity, if there are no trees in the pasture, by putting up a frame and roofing it with leafy brush, for an artificial shade. Later plant trees. Early pears ripen up very quickly, and no soft fruit should go into the package. A fruit grower should know the peculiarities, in this respect of each variety. The Bartlett, the most pop- ular, is much improved by gathering early and ripening in the house. Lawn sprinklers.—There are num- erous varieties, but if much benefit is to result from watering it must be kept up. If grass be revived by a moderate watering, and then left to continued drought, its case will be worse than had it been left without this watering. It is very difficult for some men to place the large fruit in the bottom of the kpsket. While “topping” with the fruit is poor policy, it is not dishonest to make the peaches show at their best by turning the top layer so that the sunny or colored cheeks willsbe upper- most. Women's fingers are expert for this. Wet and low places may often be converted into fertile meadows.

To get s | good crop of rutabagas requires good land and careful culture, and to be sown early. Between these, the ruta | bagas and the flat strap-leaf kind, | which are often sown broadcast among corn or in stubble, are several inter mediate sorts, of which Yellow Stone and Aberdeen are examples, are very good table turnips, and nutritious for stock. They may be sown any time this month. They should be sown ir «drills, and if the soil is not rich, apply a dressing of superphosphate, say 500 pounds to the acre, Apply sulphur to the grapevines, m the first appearance of mildew, and follow it up. We are surprised to find that some well-known pomologists, if they do not advise, speak favorably of ringing the vines. This is done by removing a ring of bark a quarter of an inch wide, or by twisting a wire firmly around the shoot, just below the lowest cluster. This causes early ripening and fine-looking, fruit but is destructive to flavor. Most grape growers, with a conscience about them, look upon ringing grapes that are to be marketed inthe light of a fraud. Horticultural and similar societies should speak on this matter. The many peach orchards planted, often in the most unpromising local ities, a few years ago, should this year, if ever, be “coming in.” The chief trouble where peaches have heretofore been almost unknown, will be a want of pickers. The returns from peaches marketed depend largely upon proper picking. The fruit should got be at all soft nor yet too green, but in just that condition that it will be “in eat ing” by the time that it reaches the congumer. If the fruit will yield te slight pressure it is too ripe for the basket or crate. Over-ripe fruit should be gathered for home use or the pigs. A ed picker must not only use his fingers but his judgment, and assor #8 he goes. FARM NOTES, The run of good pasture will bring ~the pigs into excellent condition for fattening. Root crops will be infested with weeds this month, and the cultivator must be kept in use as long as the leaves will y Budding may be done as soon as th ' bark on the stock will “run” freely, and buds in the proper condition of . maturity can be had. ele. Horses enjoy greatly a bath after work. Where there is a stream witha safe bottom easily accessible, give them and the boys a treat. But always let them cool off before bathing. Horses hard st work through the day get hardly satisfied upon grass only. Give a feed of grain before turning out to pasture, and snother early in the morning. The variety, as well as the time of experience to each locality. Sowing late to avoid the fly of course is unfav- orable for a good autumnal growth, and of course brings a diminished yield. Drills are now in general use, and many have drilled the seed in rows far enough apart to allow the use of a cultivator between them, and think it Vays. In any city or other place where good horses are kept there is a ready market for rye straw, which is threshed with a flail and put us in small, neat bundles, and will often bring as much or more than the value of the grain from the same field. If sown on fair- ly good land, rye will make an excel lent pasture, or better, can be cut for the cows; and again, it gives an excel- lent soiling crop in the spring. Insects must still have attention. If the apple-worm was not poisoned early in the season, bands around the trees will be of service to entrap the worm as it seeks a place to form its coccon. Bands of hay, bagging or other coarse fabric, or even heavy paper fastened around the trunk with a single tack, should be looked to every week or ten days. This, if supplemented by pick- ing up all fallen fruit, will materially diminish the number of worms. Col, Webb, of Chester, N.
