"I wish I could sell Brown I5e,''
said Susy IIjsk, ria-iing the dishea she
had just washed.
"Oh, Susy ' cried her brother.
"What iu the world do you waut to
sell Brown Bens for?" her mother ask
ed, looking up from the dough he was
kueadiag.
"I could go to the academy, mother,
for two more terms," wan the answer.
"Then, perhaps I could get the school
at the Corners,"
"Nonsense, Susy. I need you to help
me," her mother Bald. "Keeping
school is a thankless business."
"It's money," said Susy, "and I do
long to help myself, and you, too.
Money will do everything that needs
to be done."
"Yes, thafa a fact," spoke up Tom,
"and there's lots wants to be done.
I'd like to clear that five-acre lot for
potatoes and corn, but I can't do it."
"And the house wants shingling,"
her mother said, plaintively, her care
worn countenance taking on another
shadow.
"The front door's got a crack all the
way aeross," Tow spoke up again, "and
there ought to be a fireplace in gran
ny's room. Then there's the barn; it's
all we can do to keep the hay dry."
"I know all that," said Susy. "I
known the bouse is getting to be a
ecarocrow, and the barn is worse, and
that's why I want to be earning. As
for the fehiiiglt-s, I should think you
could put them on yourself, Tom; yes,
and mend the roof."
"Where's the shingles ?" Tom asked,
in his matter-of fact way. "Where's
the nails? Where's the hammer? The
old one is broken past mending. And
where's the money to get them with, I
should like to know?"
"Sure enough," said Susy, "unless I
cauld earn it. That's why I want to
ill Brown Bess."
"And if you do sell her you won't get
nuch," Tom said. "She's so full of
tr tricks the craziest colt I ever saw."
i '"I'm more and more afraid to have j
ju ride her," her mother said. "But
iou should sell her, there's the mort
ice to be paid iu October." j
r'lf I sell her," said Susy, quietly, "it
11 be to finish my education."
'That's always your cry," her nioth
went on, in plaintive tones; "no
tter what's needed; but I s'pose we
t-t give in. Bad as the roof is, it
iters us. bat would we do with-
Ci house over our heads?"

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
marry. Susy, come, make up your
mind. My house is a large one. I'll
take your mother and granny. Tom
can run the old farm, and"
"What! Iet you support me and
the family, too ? Never!" and her eyes
flashed. "I would never permit it."
"Well, Susy, I've declared my will
ingness to help you, if only you would
let me," said Charlie, "but, since you
won't, don't look so sad and worried,
my darling. It's worth serving and
saving for seven years if I can only
win you at last for my wife."
"Oh, Charlie !" she said, brokenly,
"your love is priceless. Only be pa
tient."
"I'll try, and keep on hoping," he
said, and they parted at the store.
The grocer met her with a smile.
Everybody liked Susy. No girl more
genial than she under ordinary cir
cumstances, but to-day her face was
clouded, her manner preoccupied.
"Mr. Lee, I have made up my mind
to sell Brown Bess," she said, after
getting the things she needed. "Do
you know anybody that wants a
horse?"
"Dear me! Goiug to sell Brown
Bess! Wfll, I was thiukiug of buying
a young horse for my Alice. Is she
safe for a girl of ten, do you think ?"
the grocer asked.
Susy grew pale. She had not antici
pated a question of that sort, but she
answered, after a moment's indecis
ion: "She is fond of takiug her own head
sometimes. No, Mr. Lee, if I find it
hard to manage her, she would never
do for your little girL"
"Ah, I'm sorry for that, Miss Susy,"
said the storekeeper. "But I know a
man who wants a spirited horse. What
would you sell her for?"
"I leave that to the purchaser," Suay
made answer. "Papa paid 75 for her
more than a year ago, aud I wouldn't
want to take less than that, for I need
the money very much," she went on,
"and if you will be so kind aa to take
an interest in the matter" She stop
ped, her eyes wistful.
"Why, of course I will," the grocer
responded. "I'll seud my boy to your
bouse with the groceries, and he can
bring the horse back with him. If any
thing is done in the way of a sale I'll
let you know at once."
Susy thanked him and went on her
way home. As she came in sight of
the house, au old-fashioned, two-story
building, where dilapidation was ren
dered picturesque by a profuse growth
of ivy that covered the front porch and
much of the exterior walls, she ft It
more comfortable as she thought over
her prospects. In imagination she had
her mother quite reconciled to all her
plans, her school life assured and all
thiugs goiug uu swimmingly, t or w ho
knew but Brown Bess might bring her
(100, she was so spirited and handsome?
Work and home seemed brighter.
The grocer'a boy came for the horse,
aud though it was bard parting with
the pretty creature, Susy, in expecta
tion of results, bore the separation
bravely.
"Can't we take a little of the money
you get to shingle the roof?" her moth
er asked as the horse was led away.
"I hope ao," Busy replied blithely.
"And you still think of going to
school? Ain't you too old V
"I'm not 13 yet," was Susy's answer.
"Many girls go to school till they are
20."
"And there's clothes to think of,
dresses aud bonnets and shoes."
"Oh, they'll be provided," Suy said,
with a little laugh.
"An' winter's comln' an' it's two or
three miles to the 'cademy," her moth
er went on, each time throwing a more
plaintive cadence into her voice.
"Tom'a clothes are terribly patched,
an' mother needs flannels. I ain't so
young as I was once, but I ain't sayin
anything about myself, on'y it's kind
of hard to spare you," and the lines in
her mother's weak face deepened.
"Mother, I wish you could see it as I
do. I must go to the academy," Susy
made reply. "It's the opportunity of
my life. But I tell you what I will do.
If I get $100 for Brown Bess I'll divide
even. Fifty dollars would go a long
way, wouldn't it?"
'.'Well, yes, $jQ would get everything
we need, was the reply. "But you're
never goin to get $100. You'll be more
than lucky if you get J-"0.
"Well, mother," said Susy, desper
ately, "if I only get $-"j0, I'll divide
even. It will be 50 coming in every
month if I only get the school."
"I don't see's there's any chance of
that," said her mother, with a woe-begone
face.
Day after day Susy waited, but no
word came about Brown Bess. Tom
declared that be believed there was no
prospect of selling her, but one day
Charlie Grant drove np to the house,
his face fairly beaming.
"I thought I'd bring you the news,"
be said, as he came into the bright living-room.
"Have they sold Brown Bess?" Susy
asked, her voice trembling in her ex
citement to hear.
"Well, yes that is, If you'll take the
price they ofier," Charlie made answer.
"Oh, I hope it's a hundred," said
Susy. !
"A hundred!" laughed Charlie. "Ia
that what you value her at? Lucky for
you that I was in at the bargain. That
horse will be worth thousands of dol
lars before long. Tue man who bought
her trains horses for the race course.
He has discovered remarkable quali
ties ta Brown Bess as a trotter, and is
willing to give you $1,000 for her."
A thousand dollars'! Susy stood for
moment like a statue; then she flew
into the kitchen, where her mother was
making the daily batch of bread, ex
claiming: "A thousand dollars, mother! we're
rich! Brown Bess is sold for a thou
sand dollars! You won't have to work
bard this winter. Toin can get two
suits of clothea if he wants them, and
buy the five-acre lot. Grandma can
have all the fire she needs; the roof
shall be shingled, the mortgage paid
off and and "
"What am I to have?" Charlie ask
ed, as she stopped, out of breath, he
having followed her Into the kitchen.
She turned round, and, blushing
beautifully, held out her bands. He
clasped them both and drew her to Lis
bosom.
V.
ESTABLISHED lSH
"What do yon think of this, moth
er?" he asked of the glad-hearted wo
man at the bread pan. "Susy is to be
my wife."
"Why, I think it's a good deal better
than keeping school," she said.

Salt-Rising Bread
Some dyspeptics think salt-rising
bread much more digestible than bread
made up with other kinds of yeat.
It is the favorite bread all through the
valley of Virginia and Marylaud. The
following receipt Is given by a Virginia
housekeeper:
Pour half a pint of boiling water on
two tablespoonfuls of eornrueal and
add a pinch of salt. Iet this stand ten
minutes, then stir in two tablespocu
fuls of flour aud set in a warm place to
rise over night. Iu the morning add
halt a pint of fresh, sweet milk or
warm water and Hour enough to make
the yeast smooth. Then put it in a
kettle of water hot enough to bear the
hand in.
When this rises pour it Into a batter
which has been made of two quarts oi
the morning's milk, 6culded. Be care
ful not to scald the liour by lulling
when the milk is too warm. Beat this
well and set it to rise auin in a warm
place, which it will do in twenty-five
or thirty minutes, if managed right.
Be careful that the plaee is not too hot.
Now put iu flour euough to make a
stitr batter that cannot be stirred with
a spoon, then pour it out on a molding
board, which has been well covered
with sifted flour, and add ft piece of
lard the size of a large apple and mix it
well with the dough. Work it well,
and after dividing it up iu small loaves
put them in well-greased pans and set
them in a warm place to rise again
When risen sufficiently bake as quickly
as possible. When done brush over
with a little melted butter to prevent
the crust from hardening.
Her Pet Tnrtlea.
Patience will accomplish wonders In
the way of trainiug dumb animals.
This Is aptly illustrated by the antics of
a number of pet turtles helongiug to s
woman who lives on Catharine-ft, near
Twenty-second. They live iu a big
yard, and every morning they come at
her call to get their breakfast of bread
and milk. At an adja-ent factory a
large bell Is rung every morning, noon
and night, and at the firi sound of the
bell the turtles know it is time to eat,
and they scurry toward the kitchen
steps. They have been taught a num
ber of tricks. The mont intricate is a
remarkable color test. J ong pieces of
ditferent colored yam are tacked on the
feuce within reach of U.e turtles. At
the word of command one of them
will go to the fence and pull down any
color that is called for by the trainer.
They also insist upon coming into the
kitchen during a rain storm, and the
little fellows who cannot mount the
steps poke out their heads and give
voice to a, paevish, shrill bark, until
they are also brought under shelter.
Philadelphia Record.
A Pioneer Woman.
The Elk Democrat says the history
of Mrs. Mary Anderson, who lives in
the wilds of Potter county, would make
an interesting one of lights arid shad
ows, if it were faithfully portrayed.
She is the widow of Ole Bull's secretary
in the famous Oleona colony scheme.
Before marrying Anderson she was the
widow of one of the early settlers of
Potter county named French. After
his death she became cook at the colony,
where she got acquainted with Ander
son. In her young days deer were plen
tiful, elk were seen iu drove and pan

Well Bred Beet.
The apiarist is n-ually a very careful
breeder of bees. He rears queeus only
from choice stocks, those that have tha
qualities he wishes to more fully devel
op, and thus produces a strain of bees
much ahead of the ordinary. All breed
ing in this line centers in the queen.
If a colony of bees do not come up to
etaudard requirements thequeen surfers
the penalty, and wheu she is dispatch
ed an entire change of stock takes place,
providing a new queen is introduced in
her place. Great is the difference in
colouies of bees or lcs produced by
different queeus. This is true not only
of different races of bees, but colouies
of the same race or variety.'
Siuee the Introduction of the Italian
bees into this country, color has lcome
an important factor iu breeding, as by
color ouly cau we designate the Italian
bee from any other on first sight.
Color of itself is uot the only difference',
however, for the characteristics of the
Italian beed are quite different from
the native bcv. It is generally conced
ed that the Italian bees have more de
sirable qualities than any other race,
and the expert breeder adopts this race
as ft foundation to breed upou, and
thus improves on the line of certain
qualities he wishes to attain.
Many good points may lie obtained
to considerable degree iu careful breed
ing, namely, energy, prolirtcness. gen
tleness, non-s-A'ariuiiig, endur.ui,
color, etc. Some colonies of bees are
more energetic than others, and the re
sult ia they store a larger surplus of
honey than others when the couditioiia
are the same. Home queens and strain
of queens are more prolific than others,
and fill their hives with brood and bees
rapidly and early, and are iu the field
with more laborers when the honey
season opens, and naturally store more
houey. The gentle bees allow them
selves to be handled and manipulated
in the hive without resistance, and a
much better Job of work can be done
with them. The non swarmers con
tinue to store honey as long as they
Lave a place to store it, aud do not
lose any time swarming or attempt

The Duke of Hamilton Lad a favor

used to accompany his master on his
daily walks and drives. Oue day, how
ever, the Duke left Dumpling at home,
and took a younger dog with him.
From the moment that Dumpling saw
his rival get into the carriage and drive
off, he refused to eat, and began to pine.
A .log doctor was summoned,'-but
failed to detect any symptoms of ill

then told him how, for the first time,
Dumpling had beeu left behind by his

Sir George Ouseley gives a remarka
ble instance of tiuiilar sensitiveness
displayed by a monkey. The animal
was a pet of the captaiu's and a favor
ite with the whole crew of the man-of-war
that took Sir George out as an Am
bassador to Persia, but, like all his spe
cies, was full of mischief.
One morning the monkey lashed the
ship's goat to the tackle of a gun, and
milked her into a stiff glazed marine
bat. The captain, who caught him in
the very act, gave orders that for a
week no one should pet the monkey or
iu any way take the slightest notice of
him.
The monkey went about, wistfully
seeking the attentions to which he had
tieen accustomed, but none of his old
friends had a word or a look for him.
His niofet coaxing aud engaging airs
failed to attract the least attention.
For two days he bore his punish
ment, but on the morning of the third,
finding himself still iu disgrace, he
sprung upon the bulwark, aud placing
both bauds over his head, gave oue pit
iful cry, and then leaped into the sea
and was seen do more.
Such exquisite sensitiveness on the
part of dumb animals certainly consti
tutes a powerful claim on human sym
pathy, and entitles them to kind and
considerate treatment at the hands of
those to whom they offer their loyal af
fectiou. Youth's Companion.

Facing1 Death for Idle Boasts.
From the Sun Francisco Chronicle.
John Davis, or "Gold Fields Jack,"
who Is lying iu a cell in Albion, Idaho,
will be the central figure in a story
which will be told when, on the open
ing of the comlDg term of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, his ap
plication for ft writ of habeas corpus
will be beard. It is a case of the deadly
hatred of the cattleman for the sheep
man,' the struggle of the sheepmau to
secure ail the available rang" in the
mountains, and the refusal to do justice
to an lnuoceut man when the guilty
man has confessed and been tried for
the killing of two enemies.
The fatal shooting took place two
years ago, and there ia connected with
the case, all through, a series of circum
stances which are sufticicut to give a
foumlatiou for the many complications
which have since arisen. The whole
trouble started wheu the sheepmen of
Eastern Idaho failed to keep au alleg
ed agreement to stay to the east of the
Shoshone range of hills aud give to the
cattlemen uudisputed possession of the
rich range on the west of the hills.
About the Devpaud Rjwk Creek valleys
lies the vast range which is part of the
possessions of the Sparks-IIarrell Com
pany, and it was on the laud of this
corporation that the double tragedy
look jil.i-.
When th first fl.cks of the sheep
men hegau to tie seen west of the range
of hills there was a council of war, and
the cattlemen decided to tight. There
was not a pitched battle, however, for
the sheepmen were clot! to the govern
ment of the eouutics on the southern
tier, aud Cassia was no exception to the
rule in fact, it was said that the sheep
men hail friends at court, even iu the
State government. However, it was a
caseof armed neutrality, and when oue
or two of the fcheepmen could locate
some of the cowboys ia the valleys or
on the ranges, they would t at them
with entire serenity. It must be said,
too, that the cowboys would waste lead
at long range upon some of the sheep
herders when the chance offered
"Gold Fields Jack," a boastful, dare
devil sort of fellow, not over-popular
with his comrades, had said that he
would like no job better than to get i 40
a mouth for killing the sheep herders;
so, when on the evening of February 2
he rode iuto the settlement at Rock
Creek and said that in a night battle he
had killed two herders, his story was
believed. He always carried a rirle and
was a dead shot. Fourteen days later
the bodies of two men were found upou
the plains. "Gold Fields Jack" was
arrested aud convicted upon the evi
dence of lis boaitsand sentenced to be
hanged, the case dragging along until
February 2 of th'n year, the day set for
the execution.
Wheu the -conviction of Davis was
known another man came to the front
and admitted that he had killed Dan
Cumraiugs and J. C. Wilson, the sheep
herders. This was Jeff D. Gray, who
had returned to Idaho to stand trial for
a little shooting scrap from a San Joa
quin ranch in this State. Gray told a
story of an attack upon himself and a
comrade by the two sheep herders at
noon of February 4, two days after
"Gold Fields Jack's" adventure. He
described his quick work with his gun,
and how he killed the sheep herders
with two bullets fired as rapidly as Le
could pull the trigger. On the strength
of LU story a stay was graDted to Da
vis, and Gray was put ou trial at Albi
on, the county seat of Cassia county.
Gray was acquitted ou the pleit of self-
defense, but the Pardon Board would
not let Davis go. They seemed to feel
that there must be ft sacrifice for the
sheep herden. Then it was that the
writ was asked cf Judge Beatty, of the
Circuit Court of Idaho, and, this being
refused, an appeal was taken.
Meanwhile the gallows has been
erected and stands outside Davis' win
dow the same one from which be
looked and heard the appeals of coun
sel for his freedom. If he should fail
of this remedy Attorney John W. Dor
sey, who has fought the case, will take
it to the Uuited States Supreme Court
Language Vocabularies.
Among all the European languages
the English is the richest so far as the
number cf words is concerned, and it
Is also the one which has added to its
vocabulary the largest number of words
within the last half century. The latest
English dictionaries contain not less
than 2o0,000 different words. Next in
rank comes theGwrman language, with
SO.000 words, and then come in succes-
t-ion the Italian, with 3-,M), the
French, with 30,000, and the Spanish
with 20,000 words. Among the Ori
ental languages the Arabic is the most
copious, its vocabulary being even rich
er than that of the English language.
In the Chinese languages there are
10,000 syllables or roots, out of which it
is possible to frame 49,000 words. An
other notable language is the old In
dian Tamil, which is now spoken in
South India, and which contains, ac
cording to the latest calculations, 67,642
words. In the Turkish language there
are ",o30 words, and thus it is richer
than the Spanish aud some other Euro
pean languages. A singular fact is that
aborigines, as a rule, have very limited
vocabularies. The Kaffirs of South Af
rica have at their disposal not more
than 8,000 words, and the Datives of
Australia use only 2,000 words.

"A fter Big Game With Tacks," is tho
title of a paper by Captaiu Jame Coo
per Ay res, U. S. A , in the Century
Magazine. The hunting expedition
wvsinade in lxi':!, aud General Brooke
took part iu it.
Our hunter aud gnide par exeellesee
was Baptiste Gamier, or "Little Bat,"
as he was generally called. He was
five feet six inches tall; his frame was
well kuit; every muscle was developed;
hisluugs were as sound as au autekie'i;
his eye had the power of a microscope;
aud a ritle had bet n his plaything since
boyhood. His father was French and
his mother Indian, and he inherited
the energj-, bravery and eudti ranee of
the old t.'anadian voyageurs, with the
remarkable olwervatiou and instinctive
knowledge of topography aud of the
habits of animals of the a!rigine of
the plain. His missiou in life seemed
to Ik; to kill, and probably Lis aggre
gate, bag would surpass that of any
other hunter in this country. He kept
a record only of the bears he killed,
and that record had then reached 0.
Mr. Webb Hayes, sou of the late ex
President, who was one of our party,
called him "the greatest hunter in the
world." 'His w underfill pow ers of trail
ing game were our admiration. He
would ride along on his pony and occa
sionally make such remarks as: "Two
mountain sheep crossed there yester
day;" or, "A blacktail deer ami fawn
passed along here this morning," and
we would look iu vain for a sign. He
would trail a deer or an elk at a trot
and presently remark: "He's over in
those bushes;" and, sure enough, there
he would be.
He had the true Indian taciturnity
atxint his success as a hunter. Mr. Col
lins, of Omaha, likes to tell the story of
oue of Bat's elk hunts. He was ou a
hunt with General Crook some years
ago, anil one afternoon strolled off alone
aud on foot When he returned at dark
Mr. Collins said: "Well, Bat, did you
see anything"."' "Saw thirteen elk,"
was the reply, with an intonation that
seemed to end the conversation. Mr.
Collins persevered: "Did you get any
of them?" "Yes, I got them." He had
actually slaughtered the whole baud of
thlrteeu elk.
Wars Are Costly.
In several respects the peace confer
ence now in session at The Hague is
the most remarkable assemblage of the
nations which history records. Of the
l,i;(M),(XX)o0(i people who constitute the
population of the entire world, al;it
I,"),!),!) are represented in that
gathering, says Leslie's Weekly. The
Central and South American nations
it'vl a fev mwII s-tHtot in- Arrrea and
Asia are the ouly countries which are
absent.
The object of the assemblage, the dim
inution in the number, extent and de
structiveuess of wars, is as beneficent a
purpose as ever received the attention
of nations. The Spanish - American
war will cost about S.ICO.OIKI.OOO. France
paid Germany $1,X),000,(XIO as an in
demnity at the end of the conflict of
lsTJ-71. In addition to this outlay, the
war cost Franco, it was estimated $-V

Crimea. The Napoleonic war, from
lSiio to Hl- cost the nations which par
ticipated in them, it has been figured,
Sr'.OOO.n-iO.OOO. The nineteenth centu
ry's wars have resulted in a direct mon
ey loss of at least 7.),0.i',0iK)l)MK), fir
not all of even the iniNrtait conflict
of the past hundred years have been
mentioned in this list.
Theeighteetith century's wars, which
were far more numerous than those of
the present century, must have footed
up, according to the most reliable esti
mates, Jli'i.Om.Ol 10,000 to l"iO,0i 10,010,000.
This calculation leaves out altogether
the sacrifice of life and the money val
ue, based on the average productive
power of each person, of the lives lot-h
A calculation that would cover the
money expenditure involved in the
wars which have taken place since the
beginuing of the Christian era would
g up iuto the dizzy heights of arith
metic. Sleep Without a Pillow.
It is hardly likely that the pillow was
invented by any one in particular. It
was, in the first iutance, there is every
reason lo believe, a very rational insti
tution, and consisted of a small pad
upon which to rest the head when beds
were by uo means such luxurious affairs
as they are to-day.
The pillows in use to-day are respons
ible for many evils, which you may be
willing to admit when Ihey are point
ed out to you, and if you would but test
the efficacy of their disuse you would
become as ardent an advocate of the
custom as is Che writer.
There is no greater fallacy than the
belief that big, downy pillow con
duces to restfuluessand health in sleep
ing. You sink into its embrace and
delude yourself that you are comforta
ble, with your head resting upou the
dear, soft, cozy mass of feathers. Yet,
If the pillow slip away from you iu
your sleep, do you miss its sremingly
soothing influence? No. And, if you
can sleep thus comfortably and not
know it, why should you not have the
courage to put it away altogether?
The pillow may seem to breathe out
beautiful dreams to you; but, while it
is beguiling your attention with its
seeming restfulness, it may be pushing
your ears out of shape, and it is cer
tainly making wrinkles in your neck
and deepening the hollows over the
chest by forcing the head forward. It
may seem ft little thing in Itself, but,
happening every night it will rob you
of all the beauty your Deck would nat
urally have, and nullify the good of
any exercise you may take. Aside from
the benefits to lie derived iu ft shapely
neck and chin, to sleep without a pil
low will conduce to health and greater
r a' fulness. It may seem atrauge at
first, even a bit painful, but if jierse
vered in you can very soon overcome
this, and the good to be derived will
will repay you.

Cowi and Calvei To Bduce Bocea
W.th Wood Araea.
Oue of the reasons that younsj calve
are sold ao early in life is th difficulty
iu raising them on skim milk. Soma
calves thrive and make headway as
soon a taken from their dams, but the
majority are carried off with the
"scours." Considering the act that
calves are frequently taken away from
the cows wheu but thre days old, the
(Jare and labor necessary to success with
them are more than dairymen are wil
ling to bestow. When the calves are to
be raised the rub at the Kans F.ir
imeut Station i to leave each calf ith
the fresh cow four or five days. Feed
the calf five quarts of whole milk dai
ly, iu three feeds, gradually increasing
to six or seven quarts, changing to
skim milk when the calf is two weeks
old, increasing gradually, but not ex
ceeding ten quarts. Flaxseed gruel
should replm-e the butter fat removed
from the milk. The gruel is made by
mixing ground flaxseed with cold wa
ter, addiug boiling water, and allow ing
it to steam for a few Lours in a covered
vessel. A teaspoon ful of the gruel mix
ed with the milk is sufficient at first
and the quantity may be increased at
each meai until as much as half a pound
ia allowed. Use clean rui'k, at ft tem
perature of 100 degrees, never using
sour milk. Calves will begin to eut
meal when ten days old.
Those who planted early this year
should I convinced that nothing is
gaitltvl by planting seed when the
ground is cold. Peas that were put in
for a second crop, after the ground was
warm, gave the first crops on some
plots, w hile tlie early planting have
not yet produced pickings. Lima beans
will not germinate at all until the
ground is warm, while melons planted
after danger of frost have been retard
ed by cool nights. It is always better
t wait until the ground is fairly warm,
as the plants will then get a better start.
Some plant Lima beans with theeyes
down, which is an advantage, such
seeds coming up sooner and more uni
formly than those dropped and cover
ed, hut it U laUirious to arrange every
seed when a large crop is to be grown.
To save labor, work the griHind well
and make it fine, using manure iiU-r-ally.
As soou as the plauUshow iu the
rows work them carefully in the rows
with a hoe.
The way to change from the com
mon black bees to the Italian is to pro
cure a queeu of the new variety desired,
aud iu a few months the entire colony
will be Italian.
Those who purchase fruit trees aud
viues should read their contracts with
the salesmen very carefully. It is well
known that some contracts are so word
ed as to permit of the substitution of
other varieties "just as good" if the
kinds wanted can not be supplied, the
consequence being that it is rare to get
the preferred varieties, especially of
peaches, the trees seldom producing
fruit according to the name of the vari
eties tagged ou them when received.
Of course, some seedsmen are very care
ful, but the buyer should never agree in
writing, to substitution.
At present, iu some sectious, the ap
ple trees are heavily loaded with young
fruit, aud now is the time to tliiu out
and thus relieve the trees of extra duty,
lietter fruit will then lie obtained, as
well as higher prices.
Au excellent way to reduce Umn
to pound them and mix them with un
leached hardwood ashes, usiuga barrel,
placing six inches of ashe?, then six
inches of bones (filling the spaces be
tween the bones with ashes), aud thus
alternating until the barrel is nearly
full, when a mixture of one part urine
and four parts water should lie poured
over the mass, so as to keep it constant
ly moist but not wet The bones will
soon oecome .leeoiii posed, and when
wanted for crops the barrel should lj
emptied on the barn fl.ior and the mix
ture of bones and ashes well worked
with a hoe. This gives a fertilizer con
taining not only potash and phosphoric
acid, but also jilnut three per cent, of
nitrogen.
One of the exj.etises Ixirne by tlioe
who keep large flicks of fowls is for the
extra nuniUr of young ciKkcrel in
summer. As a rule, al! male Lints srht
to market after the combs have devel
oped are designated as "old roosters"
although, they may not l over hix
mouths old, and they seldom bring
over six cents er pound in market.
The time to sell the cockerels at this
season Is when tliey weigh about two
pounds each. If retained from now ou
they will not be more valuable, as the
prices decline faster than the birds in
crease in weight It is more economi
cal to sell now aud thus ltveo the sup
ply of food, as well as also gain more
room iu the poultry yard.
Roses should be worked lightly and
be properly primed. R.wes produce -their
flowers ou the new wood, and it
is necessary that they be cut back. The
fall-blooming roses may be pruued this
month, but the summer kinds are
pruued iu the spring. If the se&sou is
dry mulch around the bushes with
straw or hay.
The value of a ton of "street sweep
ings" is about $1 oO for nitrogen. The
value of the potash and phosphoric
acid is somewhat less, but the whole
may be estimated at about $2 per ton,
or the same as i.rdinary barnyard ma
cure. Of course, some sweepings are
more valuable than others, the aver
age only being Uken for the estimated
price.
It is better to dilute liquid manure
with water for the reason that the wa
ter partially prevent loss of ammonia,
and also because urine is too strong for
ordinary plants. An excellent mode of
treating urine or liquid manure of any
kind ia to add twice its bulk of water,"
then adding a pound of kanit to four f '
gallons of the mixture.
During this warm weather the ma
Dure that is in large heaps aud which
has been kept dry, is liable to "fire
fang," during which process it will lose
value. To prevent this make holes in
the heap with a crowbar and pour in
cold water, or turn the entire heap
over, placing the coarse materials iu
the centre. Use absorbents freely at
this season, and do not overlook the
fact that urine promotes fermentation
while cold water retards it
