fwnllnr Orljtn of Familiar Phrase.
The phrase "That betits Bb-tU" is
tint nnciimnuin even now in nuny parte
of tlio country, especially in the South.
Iti origin is tince-idle to a race which
occurred about 1840, or shortly before
that year, on the to mom Fairfield track
on the Jleclmnicsville turnpike Dear
Richmond, Va.
In those day Hob Foindcxtcr lived In
Richmond. He was a, sporting man,
wore fine clothes and owned a number of
horses. Among the animals was one he
named Pizarro, a plnin bay gelding,
with black mane and tail, the latter
bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary
about the horse, and nobody looked
upon him as a jaccr. Hut Poindexter
took a notion that he could run. lie
used to drive Pizarro about Richmond
hitched to a bujrgy. Ou the day that
he was advertised to appear on the track
great crowd was present and excite
ment ran hijjh, for a gieat deal of money
had been put up on other horsed To
the astonishment ot everybody Pizarro
beat every hoisc on the track, and tbe
people went fairly wild.
Bob-tailed Pizarro never made much
of a record. He won two or three races
and then went to pieces. For years
afterward when anything extraordinary
happened In that section it was said of
it, "That bents Bob-tail." Baltimore

Thick milk from a heifer Is no doubt
due to something in the bcifer. The
blood is not in a healthy state, and some
treatment is ncccssaay. Give a pound of
epsom salts dissolved in a quart of warm
oatincal or linseed gruel, and note the
result; if not effective, repeat In two
aays. it may uo that the feed or the
water is at fault, and this should be
looked to. Sometimes neglect to give
salt regularly has this result. This thick
ening of the milk is caused by a fer
mentation in it that may bo due to
various causes, but it is mostly caused
by the condition of the cow. Sometimes
it has been caused by impure water, and
sometimes by unclcanliness of tho pails
or pans. American Dairyman.
FARM ACCOUNTS.
The simplest form of accounts Is the
best for a farmer. A complete sot of
books as may be necessary la a store is
not rcotlircd. As the farm riman.ea !
mostly made up selliug and buying, the
whole of the bookkeeping may be done
with two books, a cash book and a
ledger. Or a ledger only may bo used,
having one account for the cash. The
double entry system is the best and the
simplest. This consists of making a
double entry of each transaction, as thus:
A load of hay is sold ; if for cash, the
cash account is charged with the money
received, and farm account, or the par
ticular field account, is credited. If
something is bought and paid for, cash
is credited with the amount and farm is
charged. If the cash is not received or
paid in cither case, the parties are
charged or credited, as the case may be.
This is all that is necessary. Afterward,
when facility has been gained, separate
accounts may oe Kept lor cacu depart
ment, as the live stock, dairy, or each
field of tho farm. Now York Times.
OCCASIONAL SUBSOILtSO.
Probably uo work on the farm pays so
well as that done with the subsoil plow
on land that has been well undcrdrained.
The ndvanta;;o of subsoiling is that one
operation lats a number of years, and
if the drainage is perfect, the land never
loses the porosity which tho subsoil
plow gives it. If new land wern drained
as soon as the forest were cleared from
it, subsoiling would not bo needed. The
decay of roots of trees in the subsoil
ranker a natural drainage way through
which superfluous or stagnant water can
pass. But in ninety-nine cases out of
100 drainage is not resorted to until the
compacting of soil and its inability to
carry off water makes drainage neces
sary. Then after tho underdrain is
down it takes years of freezing and
thawing and clover growing to establish
the old water courses again, or rather to
make new ones. The subsoil plow helps
this work amazingly. It should follow
the drain, and it will do good to repeat
the subsoiling every few years, thus
enabling the soil to hold more water
without being saturated, because the
surplus must always pass off wherever
an outlet is provided for it. American
Cultivator.
TTIE QUESTION AS TO STRAW.
It is a vexed question what to do with
straw. One says it must be worked into
manure as much of it thiough the ani
mal as possible, when a part of it will
be made over into animal produce, and
the rest, going into the manure-pile as
dung, will be so finely ground up that it
will rot readily ; the rest to be used as
Utter. Thus all of it is utilized at home.
Another would burn it, presumably on
the wheat land, with the stubble, and
says it is worth $2 a ton to the land so
treated. Another would spread it and
plow it under; and still another would
sell it, the price obtained being from $2
to f 15, according to the state of the
market and the condition of the straw,
whether much broken or not. The fact
is, no single rule will answer for all
cases; each odo must decide his own case
for himself, on business principles. If
no animal product of any kind can be
sold with profit, commercial manures can
be used to advantage to replace plant
food sold in the straw; and if there is a
good market for it, sell it.' If all these
conditions are just reversed, use it up in
the barn. If it can be neither soli or
fed, the pile of it is large, and the quan
tity of manure made is small, then burn
it with the stubble. Last of all, plow
it in; a last resort, because of the diffi
culty in getting it well covered, and of
the slowness with which it decays when
so treated; not till decayed has it any
use as plant-food. The manurial value
of my straw is estimated at $2 per ton ;
if burned, half of this may be lost in the
nitrogen, all of which passes oil into the
air. If fed to the stock, it cannot but
realize more than its mere manurial value,
for unimal produce is worth more than
manure. If threshed by hand, snd the
straw is left in a good condition, little
broken, it has been sold for $15 a ton.
There is a wide margin here for wise
judgment as to what to do with the
straw. New York Tribune.
RULES FOIt PLANTING THB WHITE PINB.
Edmund Horsey, Superintendent of
the liussey rurm, advocates the planting
of the white pine. As a timber tree he
claims it possesses more good qualities
than any other native tree of Massachu
setts. It is easy to grow from the seed
or transplant when youug. It will flour
ish on u light sandy soil or on a peat
uicimow, aim on oruinary sou lue growth
is so rapid that the tree will be lartre
enough for lumber purposes in thirty -five
years.
When the seed is to be planted by
man the cones should be gathered just
before the first frost in the autumn ami
placed small end up in the grass away
from all enemies. After the first heavy
frost, gather up the cones and shell out
the seed by turning them small end
downward over a vessel and giving them
a rap with a stick, when the seeds will
drop out. As soon as the seed is shelled
it bltould be planted.
The method of pluutiug must depend
on the couditiou of the soil; if it is a
burreu plain shallow furrows may be
plowed fiom east to west, five feet apurt,
turning the furrows to the south to
atlurd a puitial uiu to tlis vounji
plants. The seed should be planted on
the south side of the open furrow, drop
ping two seeds nenr each other, th;n
leaving a space of four or five feet, and
covering the seeds with earth enough
to keep them moist, say not
far from one-half an inch in
depth. On rocky land, or where the soil
is hard, dig out with a sharp spade a
small sod where the seeds are to be
planted, leaving tho sod nenr the hole on
the south sido for shndo, and plant the
seed the same as in furrows. In a favor
able season enough seed will germinate
to cover the land, but if the season be
unfavorable a portion of tho land will
have to bo roseeded the following year.
AVhcre the land is shadod by trees germ
ination will be more certain; but in such
places, when the seeding pines are two
years old they should be let out into the
sunshine by removing the trees that shade
thorn.
In localities where seedling pinos that
grew naturally are numerous it is not
expensive to cover land with pines by
transplanting the young trees; to do this
to the best advantatro trees should be
selected that are not over six inches in
height, and in removing them a small
ball of earth should bo removed with
each tree, care being taken not to expose
the roots to the light or the air, and it is
always best to do the work on cloudy
days. The trees should be set five or six
feet apart, and as they grow a sufficient
number should be cut out to prevent
crowding. 'When large enough for box
boards or coarse lumber not more than
four or five trees should be left on each
rod of land. Boston Transcript.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The consumption of mutton is ltirgoly
cn the increase.
Poultry are early risers and need their
morning meal early.
The comb of a fowl may be consid
ered as its health indicator.
Good stock deserves good care, and
good care deserves good stock.
One advantage with ducks is that if
properly fed they are rarely sick.
Oct the guineas to roost iu or near the
poultry house; they will act as guards.
Ducks raised especially for market
thrive better wilt out a pond than with
one.
Mix a little flaxseed or oil meal with
their ration In feeding the moulting
hens.
When fowls are kepi in large numbers
the risks of contagious diseases are in
creased. Poultry must have every-day care,
and judgment must be used in the man
agement. Turnips and potatoes are best fed to
poultry by boiling aud mixing with
wheat bran.
Better do a little and do it well rather
than undertake to do too much and fail
to do anything well.
Steady, continuous growth is what
tells nowadays. "Storing" periods play
the mischief with profits.
Popcorn contains more nitrogen and
phosphates than Indian corn, and is
therefore more valuable as food.
A thousand pounds of capon meat can
be grown much cheaper than you can
grow the same weight of beef or pork.
Ducks are hardy animals, and are not
so liable to disease as are fowls. The
percentage of deaths in a large flock is
usually quite small.
If growing stock is carried through the
winter only to come out next spring
weighing less than now. wintering will be
a profitless operation.
Some breeders think that a cross of a
single-comb brown Leghorn upon Ply
mouth Hocks, lirauinas, or Wyandottes,
for early broilers is unsurpassed.
Thee is no profit in keeping cattle
and half starving them. Profit lies al
together in growth, hence the greater
the growtu the greater the profit.
While milk may be very beneficial to
hogs, yet we see it stated that the re
turns do not equal one-half of those ob
tained by giving it to the poultry.
While it is more convenient, at least
on the farm, to allow poultry a good
range, yet because this is given the;
should not be expected to make their
own living.
Those who have not given their hens
an evening feed oi corn during tho sum
mer had better do so when the effect of
the cool nights is overbalanced by the
heating qualities of the corn.
Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks
and Langshans fatten more readily than
some of the other breeds ; hence care
must be taken in feeding or the hens
will become too fat to lay well.
It is not the lnrge hans that lay the
largest eggs by any means. As a breed
the Black Spanish lay the largest eggs,
which are of a beautiful white color.
All the nonsctting breeds lay white eggs.
Old hens that are too fat to lay will
make elegant roasters, and will pay bet
ter disposed as such, than to keep for
the few eggs they will lay this winter;
at least our experience has taught us
that.
If you did not give a general cleaning
to the hen house before the cold of win
ter set in, then kerosene the roosts and
all nitches carefully. This is the lazy
man's way, aud the best plan would be
to thoroughly clean the house.
If you have any little chicks that are
peeping around frosty mornings because
they need stockings to make them com
fortable, it will be humane aud money
in your pocket if you take their heads
off at a siugle blow with a sharp hatchet.
If any farmers contemplate adding
new blood to their stock they should by
all means purchase the birds in the fall.
The fowls aro in the best condition at
that time of the year, and if they are put
with the rest of the dock the best results
will be obtuiued.
Ducks and geese are naturally hardy
aud are easily managed if they can be
given a good range with a good supply
of water. Ducks are usually good layers
aud will, if properly fed and made com
fortable, lay 100 e.'gs in a season. They
begin laying the latter part of January
or early in i'ebruary.

and just enough, but should there be a
little left, make good use of it.
In the first of this series we will toll
one way of using up the bit of hash that
was left from breakfast. Let us sup
pose there was only a spoonful or two
left, not enough for another meal, or to
combine with other meat for the next
breakfast. If it was chicken, or corned
beef, hashed with potatoes and not
chopped so very fine, chop till quite fine
and mix with it a little mayonuaise
dressing. Now spread it between thin
slices of buttered bread, and you have a
few sandwiches to serve for supper to
vary the bread and butter. Some of the
family are sure to be fond of sandwiches.
If the bash was well intdo and the
sandwiches put up in good form no one
will ever guess that they were made
from the hash that was left over.
If there is a lunch to be put up for
anyone you can give them occasionally
a sandwich of this kind without buying
meat for that purpose alone. St. Louis

noussnoLD hints.
Never use strong or raucid butter in
seasoning vegetables.
A scant cup of butter will often make
a lighter cake than a full cup.
Onions and apple sauce are the pecu
liar accompaniments of a goose.
Milk is better for being kept ovei
night in small tins than if a largei
quantity is kept over in one vessel.
It is said that to chew parsley after
eating onions will remove the odor of
the latter. Orris root has the same
effect.
A turkey when well cooked should be
evenly browned all over. Cranborry
sauce or currant jelly is the proper ac
companiment. .
It is bettor to keep baked pastry in a
cupboard than in a refrigerator, as it
M ould be apt to get damp and heavy in
If la later place.
To keep jellies from moulding, cover
them with pulverized sugar to a depth
of a quarter of an inch. They will keep
for years if this is done.
For mildow, which is not an uncom

sprinkle with sulphur water. Also dig
a little soot into the soil.
A spray of pure oil of turpentine
mixed with one per cent, of lavender oil
is said to have an astonishing effect in
purifying the air of living rooms, the
action being attributed to the ozone
formed.
The crepe tissue paper which can be

An excellent remedy for inflamed eyes
is to soak a little sassafras pith in boil
ing water; let it draw until the water
becomes slimy and then strain through
thin muslin. Bathe the eyes frequently
with the liquid.
A large piece of charcoal laid in the
refrigerator will help to keep it sweet.
It should be renewed once a week.
Wbeu meat and poultry aro brought in

At this season of the year, when many

A Lint FOR A DRINK.
A great many students of life as it passes
have frequently ponlired over the problem
of what a victim of alcohol would or,
rather, would not do for a drink when his
system craved it. Of course, they admit
that there is no crime which a mm crated
by liquor may not commit, but tbe question
has been to what length will a man in pos
session of his senses go when his appetite
hungers for stimulant. Colonel Phil Vroun
stine, of Colorado, told a story yesterday
which illustrates what one individual would
have done if a taste of the ardeut had not
been forthcoming.
"Along tbe latter seventies" seld the col
onel, "1 found myself suddenly called upon
to make a trip of about a hundred miles into
southern Colorado. There was tobenostau
for three days as the regular coach had left
that morning, and the busines was so ur
gent that I had to start at ouce. I looked
around for some sort of conveyance.aa I had
to carry some traps that I couldn't pack on
horseback very well.and struck a fellow who
had a pretty comfortable wagon and two
pair of horse.-. Welt, we struck a bargain and
started. It was evening and 1 curled uo and
took a imp. Karly iu tbe morning my driv.-r
asked me to give him a drink, i bad a quart
to use in case of aocidenU you know, nut 1
told him I hadn't a drop. About three hours
later be asked ma if 1 would drivA I didn't
relish driving four horses. I bad paid some
body else to, and a';ed him w hat tbe mat
ter was. He said that ho would liave to lie
down, because he felt that be was going to
die. He said that he had been on a ten-day
spree just previously, and hsd only brought
half a pint with him, thinking that tiecoul i
tight down hiscravinr, but he couldn't, and
be knew he was going to die. 1 took pity on
him when I understood his condltiou and
gave him a drink. Au hour or so afterward
ho asked me for another, and when I re
fused, seemingly accepted the Inevitable,
but begged me to let him lie down for a few
minute, and I did so. Pretty soon I heard
buys
" 'Throw up your hands and give mo that
bottle.'
"I turned my head to find myself looking
into my own gun, as I had taken off my belt
and laid it in the wagon bottom.
"'You wouldn't kill me for that bottle,
would you?1 I asked.
" 'I must have some liquor,' ha repliet,
and I saw be was desperate. 'Promise me
you will give me a drink when I ask for it
and I will take your word and give you this
gun ; but I must have it I'
"I promised him and ho han lei me the
