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,

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

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.

Our farmers, as a rule, do not make |
the most of the turnip crop. 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

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.
