    Farm Garden and Household,
Care of Mlleh Cowl,
The hot months are npon ns, and it
becomes dairymen to see that their
cows nre not suffering from heat or the
lack of pure water, two points that re
quire special attention. Great heat, if
the cows are exposed to it, Rets tip a
fevermh condition of the system, and
the effect is communicated to the milk.
The milk imparts vt to the cheese,
which accounts for much of the bad
make which we find on the shelves in
July and August, in a bad season, as
was the summer of 1872 ; less so the
past season, which was comparatively
cool.
The remedy is, shelter from the snn.
This but for a few hours in the hottest
days, green cut feed being given at such
times. This will also encourage the
habit, too little practiced, of "baiting"
our dairy stock. Clover, corn, and
other material may be nsed, and
should be used even if it lessen the
stock of hay, for in no case should cows
be left scant of food, so as to lessen
their quantity of milk. It is difficult
if not impossible to regain what is lost.
The falling off seems to have almost a
peculiar, certainly a persistent effect.
Every observing dairyman must have
noticed this.
In many cases, iu a dry time, water
becomes scant. Of course stock will
suffer from this cause, particularly
milch cows. And it often leads to
worse tho use of foul or stagnant wa
ter, which breeds mischief. Bather
drive tho cows in the cool of the day
somo distance where good water can be
obtained ; or resort to wells anything
rather than objectionable water. Some
times where there is no lack of good
water, stagnant pools occur in the
range of the pasture. Cows will some
times avail themselves of this. Drain
or fence off nil euch spots. Indeed,
milch cows should be excluded from all
marshy or"; wet land. Its herbage is
coarse and sour, and its water unfit to
nse.
It needs but a few cases of this de
scription, or a few careless patrons, to
hurt tho whole make of a factory, the
guilty parties suffering with the rest, so
that it is for their own interests, as
well as for the other patrons, to seo
that this is remedied. The thing, if
traced out, will be found to have more
important bearings than it may seem.
Correct tho littles, the few instances,
and the whole, inoluding the offender,
will be benefited. Live Slock Journal.
Wheat.
It is always well to look out early for
the Eocd for a future crop of wheat. It
is quite as important for the farmer to
seek to improve his grain as his stock.
There yet remains as mnch room for
improvement in our cereals as in our
cattle and horses. There is as much
"scrub" grain in the- country as
" scrub " stock. Improved stock brings
improved prices. An improved cow or
bull will, for breeding purposes, bring
extraordinary high prices. So will im
proved grain for seed. The average
yield of wheat per acre, in this State,
does not exceed twelve bushels, while,
with improved seed and improved cul
ture, it might be raised to thirty bush
els. There is no law of nature more
universally applicable than that " Every
plant produces seed after its kind.
The best culture possible will not pro
dnce superior grain from inferior seed.
Every farmer should make a special
effort this year to sow better seed than
last. Let every grain be full and round.
Use the screen, and separate from the
seed every little, shriveled grain, and
all foreign matter. Let none but the
best amt purest grain be sown. It 13
not go-xl husbandry to take your seed
wheat from the common stock prepared
for the mill or m-rket. Select from
the field the patches containing the
largest and fullest heads for seed, and
thresh and keep separate from the
market grain. Do this for tho present,
bnt do not rest satisfied with this.
There is large room for improvement.
The same care that is used in improving
stock will improve grain. Select the
best heads from your best grain heads
that are large, long, and perfectly tilled
Sow this seed on ground thoroughly
prepared. Though the patch may be
small, it will furnish a beginning for
improved grain. Follow up this pro
cess year after year, and the result will
be grain that will compare favorably
with the most improved breeds of short
iiorns, and will command correspond'
ingly high prices. Indiana Farmer.
A Scotch Purchase.
Here is another Scotchman who did
not understand a joke : In the Sheriff's
Court, at Aberdeen, William Jamieson,
a carter, sued William Walker, a fish
dealer, for 20, being the price of a
mare which the pursuer alleged the de
fender had bought from him. It ap
peared that the pursuer had accepted
, an offer of " twenty notes" for the ani
mal, bnt when the pursuer went to get,
as he supposed, his 20, he was disa
greeably surprised by the information
that it was twenty " knots" on a piece
of twine that the defender meant, not
twenty bank-notes. The offer was, in
fact, as tLe defender explained, simply
a joke on his part, the jest consisting
in tho play on the word "notes,"
which, as every one knows, is iu Scot
land pronounced " knots." The pur
suer, however, instead of being con
vulsed with laughter at the joke, took
the matter seriously to heart, and with
painful earnestness applied to the court
to compel the defender to pay him 20.
Several witnesses were examined, among
others the funny fish-dealer himself,
who said he never intended to buy the
mare. He had, he added, no use for it,
and if left on his hands would not know
how to "put on its clothes." The
Sheriff gave decree in favor of defender,
.with expenses.
Tuhe-Drinklug.
During these warm days the tempta
tion always is to drink more liquid than
is best for us. A good way to obviate
this, and at the same time to slake the
thirst fully, is to take water, lemonade,
or iced tea through a small glass tube
the smaller the better. By this method
the liquid seems to reach the palate
more directly, and certainly queuohes
the thirst with half the quantity taken
after the ordinary manner. You may
test this to your satisfaction by using
and dispensing with a tube on alternate
days. A number of persons of our ac
quaintance who have been in the habit
of drinking so much water in summer
as to render themselves uncomfortable,
have tried the tube, and been surprised
at the reduced quantity needed, and at
the increased satisfaction gained. An
old-fashioned " straw" will answer the
purpose well enough.
Passion and Honesty. He who is
passionate and hasty is generally honest.
It is your old dissembling bypoorite of
whom yu should beware. There's no
deoeption in a bull-dog. It is only the
our that sneaks np and bites you when
jour back is turned.

The Derlalon In lha Grant Coal Land
StiltTwenty Yaara or Preparation
for a Trial Tha Claimant' Adven
tures, The great $40,000,000 eoal land law
suit of Turnbull against Tardee and
others, which baa been pending in
Pennsylvania for two years, and which
occupied the lawyers twenty years be
fore it was in a position to warrant a
hearing, has been decided in favor of
the defendants, under the provisions of
tho Pennsylvania law governing the
gaining of title to land by treasurer's
deed.
The question at stake was the title to
several thousand acres of coal land in
lower Luzerne oonnty, in possession of
the defendants, and claimed by James
Turnbull, as the heir of Alexander
Turnbull and James Turnbull, Sr. The
land is in the heart of the coal fields,
and was the property of the Turnbulls,
once an influential Philadelphia family,
long before it was known that it con
cealed untold wealth. The last of the
Turnbull family in whom the title vest
ed was James, the father of the claim
ant. Unconscious of its value, he neg
lected to keep the taxes paid, and it was
sold at treasurer's sale, as provided by
the State statue. It subsequently went
to Ario Pardeo, Asa Facker, and other
capitalist!). Turnbuil, tho elder, died
in Philadelphia before coal was discov
ered on his tract. He left a divorced
wife and the claimant, then a child.
Some time after the decease of his
father, young Turnbull went to sea.
His mother, being a woman of more
than ordinary activity, in 1852 began to
inquire about the land her husband had
owned, and concluded that her son was
the rightful owner. She found a friend
in O. H.Wheeler, of Mauch Chunk, who
shared her confidence in the just claim
of her son. Wheeler recommended an
ejectment suit ; but it was first neces
sary to find the missing heir, it was
twenty years before he gained any clue
to Turnbull, and then heard of him by
accident at Mazatlan, Mexico. He was
summoned to his native land, arriving
in Philadelphia early in 1872.
Mis career had been one ot danger
and hardship. On his first voyage he
was shipwrecked. With eight others he
floated nine days in an open boat on the
ocean. The boat was picked up at sea
near the island of St. Thomas. Every
inmate was dead except Turnbull.
When he recovered from the effects of
this voyage he went to Central America,
and subsequently, in 1849, to Califor
nia, where the gold fever was at its
height. Remaining there n year or two,
he succeeded in saving considerable
money, working in the mines, and ad
hering to an early formed resolution to
abstain alwavs from strong drink and
gambling. From California he went to
Mexico, engaging in the construction of
a canal at Mnzatlan. While there he
was robbed several times, and was once
left for dead by a gang of natives who
had aRsr.ulted him, with twelve daggers
sticking iu his body. On his way from
California to Mexico he was blown up
by a steamboat explosion, being one of
a very few who were saved out of the
hundreds on board. He was several
times shipwrecked, but lived to sur
mount all tho perils about him, and to
answer the summons to return home.
Since his arrival in this country he
has worked faithfully in the prosecu
tion of his claim. He takes his great
defeat philosophically, and if he does
not carry it to higher tribunals, will
doubtless again seek new adventures.
The Famine In Bengal.
A correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph, writing about the famine in
Bengal from Mudhobani, says: " Truly
the ways of the people in this country
are hard to understand ; they seem to
set but little value on their lives, as the
following tale will show: Hard by the
hospitable house of a planter, near
Mudhobani, stands a dilapidated native
hut ; the planter himself assists the
local authorities in distributing charitv
in the shape of grain or money to such
as seem in want. JJuily in the com'
pound of his house rice cooked or
plain is served out at a fixed hour to
the needy. The hut being, by its
propinquity to the house, somewhat of
an eyesore, the planter one evening
strolled over to it, with a view to en
deavoring to make somo arrangements
for its removal. No one appeared in
answer to his repeated calls, so he en
tered the hut and found two women
and a little child gaunt, miserable
spectres who had lain down to die
there. No atom of food was found in
the house, no cooking pots, and but
tho scantiest rags for clothing. One
woman was so reduced that she could
not even sit up, while the condition of
the child was very terrible. These peo
pie, in the midst of plenty, with whole
some food at their very doors, so to
speak, were actually, for no earthly
reason, dying of starvation. No caste
prejudices prevented them from ao
ceptmg government charity, and yet
there they were, living skeletons, too
careless even to walk one hundred
yards to get their daily food rescued
from their self-imposed fate by the
merest chance. Had not tho Indian
government embarked on its errand of
mercy in time, how many hundreds of
thousands would have perished an
complainingly and uncounted 1"
Disaster by Flood.
The great destruction of life and
property by the storm at Pittsburgh is
alone sufficient to rank the evrnt
among extraordinary occurrences.- In
tropical regions, and on vast plains
like those of the West, the occurrence
of a destructive hurricane in which
wind, rain and hail unite in inflicting
damage, can scarcely be called unusual.
JNor is it a matter for the greatest sur
prise when a city built beside a river is
more or less involved in destruction by
that river's sudden overflow. Least of
all is there any reason for surprise
when villages that nestle near the base
oi an imperfectly constructed reservoir,
are swept away when the pent-up
waters burst their barriers. The force
of a hurricane is accumulated over
wide extent of sea or plain, usually
tasing tue iorm oi a cyclone, and ao
quiring intensity with the increasing
speed of its rotary motion. The flood
that raises a river above its banks or
bursts the bounds of a reservoir, is the
accumulated rain that has fallen over a
large district. But no such explana
tion seems fully applicable in the case
oi iritisuurgn and Allegheny uity,
Situated in the midst of an amphi
theater formed by balf-enoiroling
mountains, these cities appear to have
beon whelmed in the torrents from a
simple rain storm ; and the wonder is
that the volume of water thus suddenly
Eoured down their streets should have
een sufficient to sweep away so many
Duuaings and in met euch loss ox life,

THE BOY-MURDERER.
Conf euton of Hla Laet Crime A Hhccklng
Tale ot Thirst for Innocent Blood.
Jesse Poraaroy, the Boston boy-murderer,
has confessed that he murdered
little Horace Milieu. Ha says that on
the morning ef the 22d of April he
arose early and went to the store and
afterwards to the city, returning home
about nine o'clook. He remained at
the store until half -past eleven olclock,
when he told his mother that be was
going to the city. She gave her per
mission and he went over to his
mother's house, where ho remained a
few memenls and then started for the
city proper. He, however, went np
Dorchester avenue to Eight street, where
he saw the little Millen boy, and im
mediately his evil passion got posses
sion of him, and ho determined to tor
ture him, if not kill him. He asked
the boy if he wonld like to see the
steamer and the boy said he would, and
both started off in the direction of the
marsh. When they arrived at the spot
where the body was subsequently
found Jesse told Millen to lie down, and
the little follow, not suspecting his
danger, did so. The young fiend then
immediately sprang upon him, pressed
his left hand over tho little fellow's
mouth to stop his outcries, and then,
with the same jnck-knifo that a month
before he had used to murder Katie
Curran, the monBter deliberately out
the throat of the little boy that had so
implicitly trusted him. The child
struggled fearfully, and the murderer,
desperate at his failure in not killing
him at the first blow, stabbed him re
peatedly in the bowels and chest. He
mutilated the body in a frightful inan
ner, but does not know, as he says, to
what extent. He Una II v loft his victim
in a dying condition. He cleaned his
knife and person, and then took a car
for Boston proper, going to the Com
mon, where he remained some time,and
then returned home.
The young murderer gives the same
reason for committing this deed that he
did for killing Katie Curran that he
couldn t help it. lie had no intention
of killing any one up to the time of
meeting tho Milieu boy, and then the
horrible plan entered his head on the
instant. He says conscience or some
thing would turn him back after he had
started, and he would leave the boy
where he had found him, but something
seemed to draw him on, and he had to
go. The confession was told in the
same cool maimer as the story of the
murder of Katie Curran. Jesse further
stated that he made the confession not
because it gave him pleasure, but be'
cause he feared his mother, brother, or
some one else might be suspected.
Hanging a Boy.
Lynching a boy eighteen years of age
for any crime is a barbarous business.
The St. Joseph. Mo.. Herald describes
the murder of the boy James Boss, who
had been arrested for making free witu
the steeds of the farmers in that vicin
ity. Boss, in the custody of an officer,
was on his way to lau, when he was
seized, in spite of the constable's re
monstrances, by a mob of armed men,
ltesistance was useless. Boss was
dragged from his horse and taken into
" the timber. Then, for the first time,
this boy seemed to comprehend the
awful fate which awaited him. He
shook with fear and cried for mercy,
With ono end of the rope about his
neck, he burst into tears ; he admitted
that he had stolen horses ; but then he
added piteously that " he was a mere
boy, and wanted time to reform." The
only answer to this was the stern warn
iug that he " had but five minutes
left;" and four stout men significantly
took hold o the rope. The lad was so
agitated that he would have fallen to
the groufcd if he had not been support
ed. Then he rallied again, and again
besought mercy. He might aj well
have spoken to the deaf. Then came
" silence for a moment, broaen only
by the tick of the watch in the spokes
man's hand. There was no pity in
their rigid faces. The shadows of night
were gathering, and only a minute re
mamed to him, when the boy began to
pray, although in a tone so low that his
words were indistinguishable. Then
came from the executioner the cry of
' lime s up ; aud after the single ex
clamation, " O, my God 1" the body of
the young horse thief was dangling ten
feet from the ground. His hands were
thrown wildly up to catch the rope, but
a moment after they dropped lifeless
on each side, and the boy horse thief
was dead. The executioners mounted
their horses and rode rapidly away.

Killed by a Rattlesnake.
A. S. Heep and some friends started
out with a view to examine some land
to determine its adaptability for grazing
purposes. They had traveled some dis
tance, when their attention was aroused
by a sharp, whirring noise. Not being
acquainted with tho sound of a rattle'
snake s warning, the party kept ad
vancing, and only stopped when the
venomous reptile, which was coiled
and secreted in a dense tuft of dry
grass and weeds, sprang forth and
buried its poisoned, death-bearing
fangs clear through the woolen clothes
Heep wore, into the main artery of his
left leg, just above the Knee, iuvolun
tarily, as he felt the pain of the bite of
the snake, he leaned forward to ex

reptile, which had again coiled up
sprang forward and struck him on the

eye. By this time his friends came
forward and soon despatched the rep

Roping In the Grasshoppers.
The people in the counties which I
have visited, writes a correspondent of
the Tribune, made little effort to drive
the grasshoppers away, but the farm
ers of Nobles county gave them no rest
from the time they discovered them
upon their fields until they took their
flight, and the result is the prospect of
saving at least four times as much grain
as they otherwise would have gathered.
One of the most effectual means em
ployed was to "rope " the fields that
ia, to hitch each end of a rope 200 feet
long to a horse and drag it over the
gram. This disturbed the " hoppers
and brushed many of them eff of the
heads of the grain upon the ground,
where they would remain until the
swarm got ready to ny and doing little
damage. Others would return to their
work of destruction, but would be al
lowed to remain but a few minutes be
fore they were again disturbed. This
roping was continued until tne
locusts beoame disgusted and!flow away
1 saw to-day two helda of wheat with
only a ten-foot road between tnem. lie
fore the grasshoppers came, one prom
ised equally as well as the other. The
pests alighted on both fields at the
same time, and one was roped while the
other was not. The former will yet
yield from 10 to 15 bushels to an acre ;
ttie latter is not worm Harvesting.
Some farmers found smoking very effec
tual. When the grasshoppers were fly
ing, they placed damp prairio grass on
the windward side of their fields and
set fire to it. The grasshoppers either
did not alight, or if they did, did not
stay long. But this was not always
successful. A farmer in a county east
of here who tried it told me that, at first
he thought the "hoppers" about to
leave ; lie went away for a fresh load of
grass, and when he came baek he
found the rascals roosting on tne fence
and warming their feet by his fires."
After that, the hotter he made the fires
and the denser the smoke the better
they seemed to like it.

oity has the finest assortment of ruins

BUY J. & P. COATS' BLACK THREAD for mr MAflHM
Hr.J. Walker's California Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vpgetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs fonnd on tho lower ranpen ot
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, " What is tho causo of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
TERSt" Our answer is, that they remove
the caxise of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They are tho great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Iionovator aud Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of tho world lias a mediuino been
rompounded possessing tho rcmnrkable
iraa,litica of Vinegar Bitters hi healing tha
sick of every disease niun is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative) a well as a Totuo,
rolioving Congest ion or Inflammation oi
the Liver and Viscera! Organs, in Hiliour
Diseases.
The properties of Dn. Walker's
VlKKOAR UiTTKns are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Dinrefo,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Iiilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wonderful In
vigorant that ever sustained th sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not do
Btroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which aro 60 preva
lent in tho valleys of our great rivers
throughout tho United States, especially
those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
tntiro country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably eo during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influcnco upon theso various or
gans, is essentially necessary. Thcro
is no cathartic for tho purposo equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove tho dark
colored viscid matter with which tho
bowels aro loaded, at tho eamo time
stimulating tho secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify tho hody against disease
by purifying all it3 Uuids with Vixegar
Bitters. No epidemic can tako hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in tho region of tho Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial A flections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Soro Eyes, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vinegar Bitters have
shown their great curative powers iu tho
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
theso Bitters have no cmiul. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paiuts and Minerals, such as
I'lumucrs, Type-setters, uoiu-uoat,ors, ana
Minors, as they advanco in life, are subject .
to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a doso of W ALKEtt s Vin
egar liiTTERS occasionally.
For skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-ltheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms,
Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever nans
or nature, ava literally dug up aud carried
out of tho system in a short time by tbe use
of those Bitters.
Fin. Tane. and other Worms.
larking in the system of so many thousands,
are eflectually destroyed and removed. No
system of nicdiciuo, no vermifuges, no an-
inoimiuitlcs will tree the system aom worms
like these Bitters.
i or Female Commaints. in younz
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn ot ale, these Tonio
liitters display so decided an lulluence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
