Mr. Ptitterworth was run ning a hotel not far from the Execu tive resilience. One day while enjoy ing a rido on a trolley car Mr. Butter worth, who happened to be Bitting be hind a short, thick -set man with pray hair and beard, noticed a very large, lical thy mosquito getting its Moody work in on tbo back of tho thick-set man's neck. Acting on a very natural impulse-, Mr. Dnttorworth raised his right hand and brought tbo palm of it down on the man's neck with a re sounding slap. Tho man tnroed quickly around and Mr. Butterworth Faw that ho was tho President of tho United Stntcs. "I beg your pnri'on," said Mr. But terworth, "but there was a mosquito on your neck." "Thank von very much," remarked tho Chief Executive, cordially. "Judg ing from tho force of your blow I don't think the insect will givo mo any moro trouble. 1 don't nso slung very often, but this is tho llrt-t time 1 ever got it in tho neck at least in that fashion." , Then Mr. Butterworth plucked the dead, mosquito from tho President's neck, and ho and Mr. Harrison en tered into a pleasant chat on general topics. Mr. Butterworth has that mosquito yet, Philadelphia Inquirer. i Big Vessels lor the Lakrs. i Plans already fo:med settle tho question whether lake Btcaraships 400 feet long or upward, with a capacity of carrying 600 tons ot freight at a load, will be common after the opeu ing of the channels twenty feet deep through all the shallows between Du luth and Chicago and the ports ol Lake Erie. There is no longer a doubt that such monster vessels will rapidly multiply within tho next few years, and they are certain to do a Kreat part of the carryiug trade of the lakes, perhaps most of it, before tho end of tho century. The uteamships already contracted for and those which are certain to be ;bmlt before next spring will undoubt edly so fnr surpass all vessels now iu use in ability to make money at low Vates for freight that other vessel (owners will be forced to follow the pioneers of this latest step forward iu the construction of splendid lake car riers. Even an over supply of ton nage, such as is very likely to bo the resalt, will not prevent the work of replacing small craft with steamers of the laigest size from going ou stead ily. In one sense it will hasten tho change. Only tbo biggest vessels can make money in s .ch seasons of gen eral over-competition for cargoes, and in order to continue tho business the owners of old boats must let them go out and put in commission steamships equal to any on the great lakes.

Few people know, perhaps, that poot water ruado from tho soot of wood fires is said to bo an excellent fertil izer of house or ont-door plants. The soot should be brushod down from the chimney with a long handled brush, gathered iuto a quart bag and soaked in rain water over night. Tho water will havo becomo as black as ink by the next morning and will bo ready for use. To use about honso plants it t-hould bo considerably diluted, as it is apt to be too strong for the little amount of earth in window box or pot. It is a perfect destroyer of insects and worms that are tho dread of tho ama teur florist and may bo used two or threo times a week when the plants aro much infested. Xew York Tele-, gram. riaimsa this army worm. Vhen the army worms leave tho low meadows upon which they usually feed, it means destruction to the farm ers' crops which lie iu the track of the migratiug host. Professor Charles B. Lonnsbnry, of Massachusetts, recom mends plowing a deep furrow across this track, with the steep side noxt the crops. Make ft large number of holes in tho bottom of the fnrrow, into which tho caterpillars will fall and where they can bo easily crushed. The grat-s ahead ot the army may be sprayed with paris green, or in a cran berry bog the ditches may bo filled with ater. A heavy roller may be rim over tiro ground occupied by the army. A barrier of planks or feneo rails may be made and smeared thickly with coal tnr, crude petroleum or evcu with kerosene. There should bo no openings between or below tho plauks or rails, which are laid down end to end. American Agriculturist. CORX OX OUTSIDE K0W9. Many farmers plant two or three rows of potatoes on the ontor edges of the corn field, so that in cultivating tho horse can turn on these without treading down tho corn. But the po tatoes are worse injured by this tramp ing than the corn is, and scattered as they are on these outside rows, it re quires extra labor to harvest them. We have noticed also that when the corn was plauted out to the end of the rows, the outside hills, despite the in jury by trampling, had moro grain in proportion to their stalks. This is un doubtedly because the outside rows get most sunlight. It is a mistake to plant corn th'ckly. Three grains in a bill, if nil grow as all should, are bet ter than more, for if your stalks each have an ear the size of the ear will be smaller, and it will make greater work in husking and handling the crop with little or no increase of grain. Boston Cultivator. HARD-MHiKINO C0W8. There are many excellent cows whose ouly fault is that they are hard to' milk. This, to the man who is not used to milking cows, may seem a comparatively small matter, but it is really most serious. It is not merely the expenditure of a little moro mus cular exertion twine a day for several years. Ihe cow that milks hard usually gets more or lesa abuse and becomes a kicking cow. It is common for her to be only partly milked, for when the milk comes hard at all times the stripping is sure to be extra diffi cult. Leaving come milk in the udder at each milking is the surest way to make the cow go dry. This affects not only the eow, but her progeny, for as drying up early induces fatten ing this tendency is imprinted on the unborn calf. So, if two cows ot other wise eqnvl value were offered to a man, he might be willing to pay and be justified in paying a high price for the one that milked easily, while unwilling to take the hard milker as tt gift. Most cases of hard-milking cows cau be remedied by inserting a coarse noodle iu the teats. This should be done only by those who havo had ex perience. Making tho orifice too large is a worse evil than the other. The cow will then leak her milk, and a large part of what she would furu inU for her keep will be wholly lost. Boston Cultivator. TUB SOUASB! sea PEST. One of tho most disheartening pests is the Fqiiufsli bug. It is the worm which came in the night and cut down the prophet Jonah's shaly vine that covered his bower, under the shelter of which he escaped from the burning sun that smote his head. It is the habit of the inseot to do Ibis very thing, and the expectant grower of the hoped for prize squash, with which he hopes to guiu enviable and honor able notoriety in his rural community, may well Buy iu his distress that he does well to be angry, as the prophet did. Tho pest is bad in every way. It smells bad. and it does exasperating miscuiut, mat is remetiiiess. it is onl v to be prevented. To do this is easy with the kerosene emulsion, sprayed on the vines, or a few tobacco stems spread under the pluut will be helpful. A few corncobs or other absorbent material steeped in gas tar or any of tho strong smelling crude petroleum products and distributed about tho plants will drive the bugs away before they have done mischief. If, in spite of all preventatives', a viue is seen to wilt and the leaves hang down, the stein is examine I aud the opening in it where thu ferub has eaten its way into the vino is found, then the vine is slit with a sharp kuite below tho opening aud tlio intruder is tuUeii out and the wounded vino is covered with toil to the node, or joint, ut which new roots will be made. This habit of root1' ing at tho joints may bo takou advan tage of to greatly assist In the growth of tho crop, for as tho covcrod joints take root tho plant has more foodcrs and is ablo to supply larger fruits. New York Times. horsk's Morrns. During tho many years in whioh the writer has been engaged in tho praetico of veterinary medicine there is nothing that has been moro forcibly brought to his attention than the in difference of most people to tho con dition of the horse's mouth. They seem to think tho month never becomes deranged, when, in fact it is one of tho most sensitive organs of the equine eoonomy. All young horses coming tbroA or four years old should have thoir teoth and month carefully examined when any symptoms of ten derness are shown in tho month, as it is at this age that somo of the milk molars aro replaced by the permanent ones. In some cases tho crown of tho former is only partially displaced, and gives rise to much pain and an noyance. I have seen a young horse that had its throat blistered with liniment and was treated for distemper, when the tronblo was due to n misplaced crown ot a milk molar, whioh, npon romoval, gave instant relief. Again, in some horses tho structure of tho teeth is of a comparatively soft nature, and wears rapidly on the grinding substances iu a ragged and uneven manner, which severely out and lacerate the tongue and cheeks. This defect may bo easily remedied by the nse of the mouth rasp, an in strument that may now be found in nearly all hardware Btoros. To heal tho raw Furfuees a little alum and borax dissolved in water will act effectually. This hutnano method, if pursued by people who own horses, will prevent much suffering to tho horso and at the same timo amply re pay the owner iu tho improved appear ance of his animal, and in many cases prevent the loss of much food by quid ding and slobbering. A few words in regard to those bug bears of most horso owners, namely, lampas, so called, and wolf-teeth. Latnpas is supposod by most people to possess some mysterious power over a horse whereby his appetite becomes deranged. They therefore resort to cutting and burning the poor bruto's mouth under the mistaken notion of curing the lam pas. The writer of thie has been on gaged in tho care of horses for twenty five years, nnd has yet to see a horse that was affected physically by lam pas, except in the imagination of its owner. It is tho same with the so-called "wolf-teeth." These teeth are tho vestigial remains of premolar teeth that, in the remote ancestors of the horse, were functional, and they have become through disuso mere rudi ments, as it were, of their former selves. They do not, by some occult moans, affect the eyes of horses and canso them to go blind, nor are they respon sible, as some good peoplo contend, for a horse being in poor condition. Nor ia it nt all necessary to punch them out with a hammer and cold chisel. St. Louis Republic. FARM AND GARDES NOTES. Feed a pig aud you'll have a hog. Plant u piece of rye near the poul try house. Every ono hundred fowls should have au acre of land. Millet makes good hay if cut just after it has headed out. Cut clover when about half the blos soms are turning brown. One animal well fed is of more profit than two pDorly kept. Just after tho blossoms are gono is the best time to cut timothy. You can sow buckwheat up to the 20th of July. Every farmer should sow some of this grain. Sorrel can be easily gotten rid of in the fields by mowing before the seed mature?. It can be killed in walks and elsewhere by sprinkling it with salt. not, dry weather is very enervating to cows, and they will drink much more water than when the grass is wet with moisture aud the temperature cool. Millet, or Hungarian grass, requires a fertile soil, ai it is a heavy feeder, aud it wants most of the season be tween spring and fall frosts ia which to mature. In Bulletin 40 of the Minnesota Ex periment Station is a report of con tinued experiments in root pruning corn. Tho trials for three years showed anannuul loss. Although muoh has been said against the feeding value of turnips, and that they cuus-j bad-tasting milk and but ter, an expert says he has always raised and fed them with success. Flat turnips may be sown iu July, but tho seed bed should be mellow, fertile aud cleau to insure a profitable crop. Sow preferably just before or after a rain, and virgin laud recently cleared is the best. Tho man who knows and appreci ates just when to use tho roller aud tho harrow upon the ground for its best good and the good of his crop, is well abreast of the best thought of tho age in matters of soil tillage.
