    Work for August.
The soil for winter wheat needs to
be prepared at once. A clover sod
may be treated to a dressing of well
rotted manure, before plowing it un
der. Much depends upon the varie
ty of 6eed wheat, therefore bow only
the best If there is darker of the
bessian fly, it may be well to defer
Feeding until next month. For fall
firdder white turnitw may 1 own
now. Oats or.barleytulble.'when
the soil is rich, can be turned under
and produce 6ix hundred bushels or
more of late turnips er acre.
Now is an excellent time to
reclaim waste land. Brush cut
this month will rarely sprout again,
and drains may be opened, it would
be impossible to get teams on the
land at any other season. It is best
to clear thoroughly, and 60w to grass,
even if it be only a small portion of
the waste land, and thus avoid the
discouragement of half reclaiming a
larger area. Lime is an old-time
fertilizer, and rarely fails to give good
returns on grass land abounding in
vegetable matter. Forty bushels per
acre mav be spread from the wagon.
Muck for use in the stables can be
dug now. Draw the muck with a
scraper or otherwi.-e, from the bed to
eome dry place near by, where it can
dry out, alter which it may be taken
to the stable or store-room. Muck
increases in value by "weathering"
and it is well to have a year's supply
constantly on hand. Fall plowing
for spring sowing has the benefit ot
fallow to eome extent, and the ear
lier it is done the better. It im
proves heavy clay land more than a
light sandy one. In a time of drouth
look for and locate all springs or any
indications that may lead to a sup
ply of water. It is sometimes nec
essarly to deepen wells which fail to
furnish sufficient water. Weeds
should not be allowed to go to seed.
It is enough to pull them up, as the
seeds already formed will ripen and
propagate the pests. The'only safe
method it to burn the weeds; throw
ing them on the manure heap only
increases a good seeding.
LIVE STOCK I.V MJKSI MMKR.
This is a trying time for all kinds
of farm animals ; pastures are usu
ally short, old grin is high, and the
new not in the best condition for
feeding. It is well to make the most
of wooded pastures, where the ani
mals can enjoy the shade during the
hot days, and get a part nf their liv
ing from the underbrush. A good
supply of fodder corn helps to keep
the cows up to their full flow of
milk, and other live stock in good
heaith and flesh. Horses are often
extremely annoyed by flies, especial
ly when in a ehadele-s pasture. It
is best to let them stand in a dark
stable during midday, and turn them
out near nightfall. Horses, when at
work, need the protection of a fly
sheet This is easily made and pre
vent much fritting. Lambs are
now separated from the ewes, and
should be pastured as far apart as
possible, l'lace some wethers with
the lambs to lead the flock, and in a
few weeks the lambs will be entirely
weaned. I'igs for earl' market need
to be pushed vigorously, the orch
ard makes a fine pasture for swine.
The fruit is usually wormy, and the
pigs, in eating it, destroy hosts of
insect, to the mutual benefit of the
swine and the orchard.
THE FRUIT (iAKI)KN' IX Al tU ST.
As soon as the raspberries are off!
cut away the 6tems that bore them
and encourage the new stalks.
Iilackberries often color long before
they are ripe ; for home us or a near
market let them be ripe; if to be
shipped to a distance they must be
firm. Cut away all suckers not
needed. Watch grape vine for the
first signs of mildew, and apply sul
phur; hand-pick the beetles and
large caterpillars ; keep the laterals
pinched back, leaving one leaf of the
new growth; remove 6hoots which
start where they are not needed; keep
bearing shoots well tied up. Straw
berry plants laytred in pots may be
set out Can or dry surplus fruits.
AUGUST WORK IT THE ORCHARD.
The cultivator, whether of orchard
or garden, has never a season of lei
sure; but if there is any month, ex
cept in winter, in which work is the
least pressing, it is the present
liecreation may well be taken now.
One may recreat both body and
mind in various ways, as with a fish
ing excursion, camping out, etc.,
without other objects than rest and
change. Excursions to the lakes or
to the sea-shore will be preferred by
many. A profitable kind of recrea
tion is to visit the orchards and gar
dens of others ; relief from home
cares is obtained, and much may be
learned. Cultivators, as a rule, glad
ly welcome other- who are interested
in the Same imrsuits. Prpnarptinnia
for the fairs should not be lost sight
of. Encourage the local fair by coui
jeting for prizes, and, if any are
awarded, be sure and tike the mon
ey. Nothing destroys the common
interest in the fair so quickly as for
Hiose who do not think they need
the money to decline to take the
awards. If only twenty-five cents,
take it and be proud of" it. Newly
planted trees will be helped bv a
mulch ; keep offlate insects, and do
not allow weeds to grow. Budding
will begin this month. Keep a close
w atch on the pickers. Early apples
aud pears are more profitable than
late ginds. Assort and pack them
in attractive manner. Drv surplus
fruit, and use the windfall apoles to
press for vinegar.
KITCHEN AND MARKET HARDEN.
When a crop of any kind is off, at
once clear up the refuse; much good
food for cows, pigs or poultry may
lesaved. bpade or plow the ground,
manure if need be, and put in some
other crop, or sow to buckwheat, to
le turned under later. Sow this
month; spinnach. for fall use, next
mouth is early ci.ojgh for the crop
for spring; beets, of the earlv kinds
for greens; turnips, of the Yellow
stone Aberdeen, and Cow Horn
varieties, and bush-lwans for pickling
and late use. Some of the early
lea may yield a crop, but if the sea
son is unfavorable, mildew will take
them. The hoe is the great imple
ment this month, whether in the
form of the hand-hoe, or the various
kinds of cultivators, and should be
used freely, whether there are weeds
or noi, for the benefit of the crop.
Cabbage, celery, etc, grow all the
more rapidly, if the surface of the
soil is kept light and mellow. Thin
ning is rarely overdone ; ruta bagas
should be at least ten inches apart
If carrots, late beet, salsify, etc., still
stand too thicklv, draw out for use
those that crowd one another. Egg

should be kept free from weeds, and

Weeds are the chief care this month,

the industry of the gardener.
EUROPEAN LETTER.
From our K(rulr Correspondent,
Taris, July 25th, 1SS3.
For people so fond of military dis
play as are the-Parisians the chief
attraction of to-day centred in the
review on the Long champs race
course. Thither half Paris journey
ed, each using the means best suited
to his wish or his purse by car
riage, train, boat, and, if not by
these, on foot Certainly those who
faced a four or five mile tramp might
have done more unwisely, seeing
that their way led through the gaie
ty of the Champs Elysees and the
trimly-kept beauties of the Bois de
Bologne. For some hours before the
appointed time of the review a con
tinuous stream of sightseers poured
into Suresnes and the open spaces
around, lunching under the trees,
staring at the handsome cavaliers of
the Garde de Paris, quarrelling with
the dictatorial policemen, and rush
ing from point to point to witness
the successive arrivals of troops. By
all the many tree-shaded roads
which led up to the race course ad
vanced long columns of blue-coated
and red-trousered soldiery, looking
very picturesque, despite their mo-1
notonous uniform, as they defiled
under the dense green of the foliage
above. Horse, foot and cannon de
bouched for nearly three hours from
under these wooded highways, and
advanced to lake up their position
in the wide, open plain of the race
course, forming dense masses a3 they
drew up in close column of compa
nies facing the grand stand; At last
there was a flutter of excitement as
the staff and the group of foreign of
ficers cantered down the road, and
drew up at the point where the
President was expected. The French
generals were, ol course, gorgeous in
their gold-laced blue-coats, heavy
gold epaulettes, white breeches and
high boots, with the becoming cock
ed hat over all, but even amongst
these and the crowd of Prussian,
Russian, and Austrian officers, there
was no object save the robes and tur
ban of an Algerian officer, more con
spicuous than the familiar and sol
dierly red coat of an English gener
al, who was the cynosure of all eyes.
Standing out from the sombre habil
iments around it, the scarlet could
be seen all over the field, a fact pleas
ing enough at a parade, but from a
strictly military point of view a dis
advantage. After some ten minutes
delay and a short time after two
o'clock had struck, the cortege of
President Grevy began to arrive.
First came some half-dozen carriages,
escorted by a squadron of dragoons,
but in a few minutes more the car
riage of the chief of the Republic,
surrounded by ponderous and shin
ing cuirassiers, came along the road 1
at a quick trot, crossed over to the
grass, and went straight towards the
Grand Stand without halt or delay,
followed closely by the staff. As
the carriage rolled quickly over the
vast enclosure the troops presented
arms, a salute of twenty one guns
was fired, and the drums and trum
pets of all the bands sounded a fan
fare. Amidst this almost royal state
the President took his seat in his
box, while the bands changed to the
stirring notes of the ".Marseillaise."
It was to be remarked, however, that
hardly a cheer was heard during the
whole time of the progress from the
immense crowds assembled, and
throughout the review none of that
enthusiasm was displayed which
like occasions elicit from an Ameri
can gathering, and which was still
more to be expected from so lively a
people as the French. There was no
lack, however, of reason for excite
ment since General Thibaudin and
his stiff having drawn up opposite
the President, the march past began
with but little delay. Gen. Thomas
led past the gendarmes, Republican
Guards, and Engineers, while Gen
erals Holland, Millotand Haca did
the like service for the three infant
ry columns. The Artillery, clumsi
ly dressed as the men are, made an
excellent show as regards discipline
and drill under General Grevy
while the cavalry, under Gen.
de Gressot brought up the array
with the eclat that cavalry always
imparts. For what must have seem
ed a long time to the occupants of
the crowded Grand Stmd and the
weary people wedged round the
course, the troops continued their
defile, being marched off to their va
rious destinations as soon as they
had completed their round. Even
this came to an end at last, and the
people having seen and stared their
fill, wended homewards as best they
could. There is something peculiar
to foreign eyes in the low average
stature of the men, their ungainly
dress, and their high stepping tramp
and irregular swinging of arms. But
as an attraction and amusement to
the pleasure-loving Parisions it was
a decided success.
Messrs. Hiscox fc Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
H, 18S3, the name and style of this
preparation will hereafter be simply
Parker's Tonic. The word "Ginger"
is dropped, for the reason that mi.
principled dealers are constantly de.
ceiving their patrons by subMituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un
important flavoring ingredient in
our. Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
propriety of the chanpe. There will
be no change, however, in the prep,
aration itself ; and all bottles re.
maining in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of "Park,
er's Ginger Tonic," contain the gen.
uine medicine if the signature of
Hiseex k Co. is at the bottom of the
outside wrapper.

Naabj on the Liquor Question.
"Bascom," said Issaker humbly,
Bet out the bottle."
"I understand you a going to in
ogerate movement to tax me ?"
"We won't discuss that jist now,"
sed Issaker ; "set out the bottle."
"You can,t have a drop," replied
Bascom.
Issaker 60t out this little conversa
shen and left for Pollock a 6tore, leav
ing the rest uv us in a etate of de
moralizashen. Ef this pore lunatic
diskivers that he kin buldose Bascom
he may get to buldozing me, and ef
the people ginerally diskiver that
they kin git on without us, what be
comes of the organizatsben ? Why
Issaker Gavitt, ef he kin break away
from sod-corn whiskey, may git to
votiu the Republican tikkit And
ere these thots bed past like litenin
thru my mind thtre wuz a sound
uv tin pans and diner horns, and a
perceshun uv these wimin halted in
iront uv the door. They wuz Mir
andv Pogrom, Mrs. Gavitt, and Mrs.
Kernel Mc'Pelter. They wuz al
without shoes or stockings, wich
condishin they showed rather con
spicusly. Mirandy Pogrom keried
a banner on which wuz inscribed :
"Bascom eels licker and our hus
bands drink it Mrs. Bascem wears
shoes which buton, red silk stockings
and silk gowns. We aint got shoes
or stockings uv any kind, and find
calico difikilt to git Red stockings
or blue."
Mrs.Gavitt bed another with this:
"Did you ever kno a saloonkeeper
wife to go barefoot?"
And Mrs. Kernel McTelter hed
this inskription on hers :
"Is our husband's 6tummicks uv
more importance than our feet ?"
On the rite hand uv each banner
wuz a pare uv red stockings, and un
der em:
"Wat Mrs. Bascom wears !"
And on tother a pare uv bare feet
and under them :
"The stockings we ware?"
And with these hidjus baners they
started off, and paraded the streets,
and every step they took wimen jined
ther ranks with tin horns and tin
pans, til the entire feraine popelas
hen uv the Corners jined them. Joe
Bigler stood calmly on the corner uv
Bascom's wonderin wat it wuz al
about !
That feend painted every one uv
them banners and organized the
percheshn.
Between Mr. and Mrs. Bascom's
insane ambition to wear nu close
and Bigler and Pollock's feendish
ingenuity in stirrin' up distubances
I am in a bad way. I wish I cood
retire on a competence. I wud that

A Sly Judge.
Judge Jopin was very angry when
he entered the court room. He kick
ed a lawyer's dog and trod on the
constable's foot in the blindness of
bis rage. No one understood why
the old man exhibited such ill-humor.
He was known all over the
country as a genial, whole-souled
fellow, and the lawyers who made
their living at his bar, looked at the
old man in surprise. The Judge
took his seat, and for a moment
seemed to be revolving in his mind
the wheel of a serious problem. At
last he looked up and asked :
" Does anybody chew tobacco in
this court-room ?" No one replied.
" I mean does anybody in this court
room chew tobacco ? The educated
gentlemen who are present will
please excuse my rhetorical error.
Nobody chews tobacco? I am
much disappointed. I did not want
a chew, for I do not masticate the
weed. I have just been presented
with some tobacco, and, as I do not
want it myself, I desire to give it to
ar.rvr. vat a wkft Iaad want it '
DVfUiC uuc nuu uuco noui ih
" I chew, your honor," said a law
yer, who, fearing that the Judge was
begging, bad hitherto retrained from
making himself known.
" Does any one else in the
court room chew ? asked the
Judge.
"1 believe not," replied the
lawyer.
" You are the only one,
then ?"
" I think I am."
" Well, I want you. Just now, as
1 came up the steps a quid of tobac
co came down the stairway, and
'spat' it took me over the eye. I
adopted this method, sir, of detect
ing the wretch, and I am thankful
to say that I have caught him. Mr.
Constable, take him to jail, for fur
ther trial is unnecessary." Ijet no
one say that the laws of Arkansas
are not enforced.
Being too Good.
A retail dealer on Michigan ave
nue secured a new customer a few
days ago in the person of a well
dressed lady, who ordered and paid
for a large bill of groceries. The
grocer was desirous of keeping her
trade, and therefore when she came
again and paid half a dollar with a
hole in it, among other change, he
received it and said nothing. Next
day he was oblidged to take another
and during the week she handed
out a dozen coins that had the
dreaded holes letting daylight throuh
them. Finally a little girl came in
one day and inquired:
"Is this the place where ma trades
"W ho is your ma
Mrs. ."
"Yes, this is the place.
"Well, then I want a pound of
crackers."
They were done up for her and
she handed up a quarter that was
battered as well as punched.
"Can't take it, 6issy," said the gro
cer
"Why not?"
Iecause there is a hole in it."
"Don't you take 'em anv more ?"
"No." " .
Well, this was the last one ma
had, and she was going back to our
old grocer as soon as she got rid of
it! 1 cuess she 11 have to give this

A Itomance of Moos Lake.
The people residing in the vicini
ty of the secluded Moos Lake are
busy with a little romance just now
It seems that on the banks of the
lake resids Elijah Camp, an Indian
guide. He has a beautiful daughter,
Emma, who has developed into a
noble hearted and loving woman
For some vears a family named
Mead, who reside at Sing Sing, have
made it their practice to spend the
heated term at the Indian guide's
humble home. In the Mead family
there is a young man named Gabriel
Mead, and quite naturally he leu in
love with the beautiful Indian
maiden, and last spring he made her
his lawful bride. hen the elder
Mead heard of this he was very
wroth, and forced his son to desert
his young and beautiful bride,
which he did. Five months ago he
took her to his arms a beautiful,
loving bride, and to-day she wanders
alone on the banks of Moos Lake
with a broken heart and blasted
hopes. Troy Telegram.

How Watch Cases are Made.
In buying silver watch case great care
should b taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
Ehould be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The
Keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
