a- will those from hens that are wirh
males.
The ox-ejred dai-y will overrun the clov
er tield tiules.- extirpated, and it may lie
necessary to go over the field and pull
thcui out by hand.
The surest way to kill thistles is to keep
them down. As fast as they appear above
trronnd cut them oil", and they will, in time
become exhausted and die.
A handful of linseed meal to the brood
sow once or twice a week will be benefi
cial. It is also excellent for the pigs if
given occasionally, especially if the fo id
lucks variety.
Hake up the fallen apples aud other l'ruit
and destroy them, either by throwing theui
in the hog pen or by burning them, as many
of the fallen fruit contain insect* or their
larva-. In some orchards the ground is al
ready covered with small fruit.
Usually when a tree or vine dies from no
apparent cause it may be due to the work
of insects or parasites at the roots. At
this season of the year it will prove of ad-
Vantage to dig around the roots of trees
and examine them. Always apply airslak
ed lime liberally before replacing the earth
around the roots.
It is cheaper and more economical to hoc
the corn than to allow grass around the
•-talks. Even when corn is cultivated in
check rows it is Munetiines impossible to
get all the grass out except liy the use of
the hoe. especially if the corn is planted on
old sod land.
Whenever ground that is heavily cover
ed with green growth is plowed under it
will pay to broadcast at least ten bushels
of lime per acre over the ground. Lime
assists in decomposing the plants that are
turned under, and acts on the soil in a
manner to induce it to yield up a greater
proportion ol nutrition for the support of
the next crop.
PROPAGATION BY LAYERS.
It is a very simple operation to bend
down a limb and keep it covered with moist
earth till it is rooted, and them cut it from
the parent tree. If the bent branch is
partly cut off or slit np under a bud, or
twisted like a withe at the lowest point,
it will help both the bending and rooting.
A wire twisted around the layer just below
the bottom bud in the ground, and holes
punched through above and below the
wire, may be made through the layer in
the buried portion to stimulate its rooting
from the callus of the wounds. The bark
is sometimes cut nearly around the layer
just below a bud. and bits ol" wood removed
below this cut to induce the formation of a
callus, from which roots are emitted. It
is sometimes necessary to fasten down still
brauches with a forked peg or a weight.
Young shoots of thrifty trees make the
best layers.— American AtjricnUuri.it for
June.
The kind of a hog most in request now i.-
from 6 toB months old. averaging from 100
to 180 pounds. If a farmer would get a
tip-top price he should sell two litters a
year. Packers want for the European
market a lean, yet well-fed, fleshy side,
cutting full of lean. This shows that there
has been within the past ten or twelve
years a radical change in the character of
hogs demanded by consumers. The tnule
in meals has become so important that
packers must have the style of hogs most
suitable for that class of m<;at. Thu old
style hogwith a weight ofoOO or 000 pounds,
is becoming a thing of the past, aud the
bacon hog must take his place. Let breed
ers aud feeders make a note of this fact,
and arrange to supply the market with the
style of hog which not only meets the view
of packers, but give the largest financial
returns.
UOCHKIIOLU HINTS.
Chloride of lime is highly objectionable for
its odor to rats aud mice.
The yolk of eggs is the best food for in -
valids and is always relished.
Tar, tallow and salt in equal parts mako
an excellent salve for felons.
Sweet cream is used by some persons in
large quantities as a cure for nervous de
bility, through others find il rather hard to
digest.
In some forms of headache a towel or a
napkin wrung out of hot water—as hot as
can be borne—and wound around the head
affords relief.
Tiny cut-glass dishes for bon-bons,olives
and small flowers come in sets of tour, in
shape, the heart, diamond spade, aud club
of a card suit.
When a coat needs a thorough ( leaning,
apply with a sponge strong coffee, to which
have been added a few drops of ammonia,
aud rub well with a colored woolen cloth.
Mental Work at Home.
I met on the street the other day a liter
ary friend of mine who was in high glee at
having just secured a new study at the top
of a building ou State street, I believe
somewhere at any rate, in the business
part of the city. As he lives in a charming
house in a very quiet neighborhood on
Beacon Mill, I wondered why he should go
outside of his own door for a working
place. Hut when he explained his motive.
I could not but acknowledge its sufficiency.
"At home." he explained, "if the chil
dren cry. 1 wonder what is the matter, aud
if they cry very hard. I stop to find out.
Then my wife, dear, good, gentle, unselfish
creature that she is, knocks at the door to
loam if 1 would rather have apple fritter*
or mince pie for dessert. When a carriage
or a cart rattles tip to my door, or the
neighbor's, I usually find myself waiting
tor a riug. then for the bell to be answered
aud finally for the slam of the door when
the errand or call is concluded. If nothing
happens and not a sound is heard, 1 won
der why the deuce it is so, and I sit in ner
vous expectation of some domestic thunder
clap. What makes miuisters so nervous,"
he cried; "and why do they have to go
abroad for health so often? I tell you it is
because they do their work at home."
There is some truth in this I have no
doubt.—Boston Transcrijit.
How Sparrows May lie Utilized.
A Chicago man traps 300 English spar
rows in a day, and as they are fat and
healthy he gets a good price for theui at
the restaurants. It is said that the feath
er* of the sparrow make a comfortable
bed. It may lie that Providence has sent
the sparrow to feed and warm the rapidlv
growing cities of America. We may all
come to love this little Unglishmau some
day.

The Lightning-Rod Man.
■ How is that yon still manage to sell so
i many lightning rods.'" was asked the other
day of an agent who makes Pennsylvania
! his tamping ground
••Because people want them." he replied.
"It i rare that you can oil one in a town
lor city nowaday but nine farmer out of
I ten want them."
| I»o they believe iu tlicm?"
• They do after J have got through
: talking II is the man who i • not posted
who bring reproach on the lightning-rod
j limine- . To be a buccessiul business man
i you inU't Le loaded."
'How*'
J "Well. 1 c all upon a farmer who has just
built a line barn He has been told that
rods are X. G. He receives me very cold
ly, and promptly announces his belief that
lam a humbug I laugh and pretend to
feel very jolly, and presently bring out
weapon number one."
'•What is that?"
••The losses sustained on barns by fire
in-nranee companies doing business in tlie
State. 1 >how him that in one year 2.140
bams were struck by lightning and con
sumed. Of this number only four had rods.
They were, of course, the rods made by a
rival company. Our rods would have saved
them. Then comes weapon number two.
I show liim a li*t of 7,000 barti.-, on which
we have rods, and not oue of them has
ever been damaged."
'•And he is convinced?"
'•Oh, no. I have a whole battery in re
serve. I get the position of his barn by
compass, aud then find at least three rea
sous why it is unusually exposed to light -
niug. I advise him to cut down certain
trees in case he won't have a rod, and of
fer to bet hiui SIOO to S2O that his barn
will be struck inside of a year. I explain
how thunder storms originate, what at
tracts lightning, which corner of his barn
is the most liable to be struck, and why
our rods beats all.''.
'•Where do you get all your st itisticsf"
"Make them for myself, sir. 1 may be a
little over or a little under, but it makes no
difference to the. I have the number of
bams burned in the United States last
year. I made my own figures. He can
accept them or not. I don't pre.-> him to
buy a rod, but I am bound to give statis
tics. He invites me to stay to dinner, and
after dinner I demonstrate the virtues of
our rod."
"How!"
"By an electric battery. I have only to
show him the sparks and flashes on the
point to make him believe. Then I talk
about 'circuits,' 'grounded wires.' 'induc
tion,' •attraction." and so on. and he gets in
such a hurry for a rod that we have to work
far into the evening."
"Docs your conscience ever trouble
you!"
"Never. Everybody -hould have a
lightning rod—oue of our own make. Th'ey
are ornamental. They give a jaunty air to
roofs and chimneys. There is no delicate
machinery to get out of order. It is no ex
pense to run one after it is up. While you
are off huckleberrying in the daytime or
a asleep at night the lightning rod is attend
J ing right to business and not charging a
cent. No, sir. my conscience is as clear as
I a bell, and my sales this year will lie one
third larger than last. I've got statistics
to show that ever- barn in the State equip
I ped with rods escaped hurricanes and cy
clones as well as thunderbolts last year."

; brought to Butler. On the 20th our shelves were as bare as Mother Hub
bard's celebrated cupboard, and necessitated an entire re stocking at once.
To-morrow we open the Iresh lot. and there is nothing of the showman's
tnlk about in our warning you to come at once; it is the truth, from the way
j our poods are selling. Whether we ell because of cheapness, or quality of
goods; whether because of the quantity to select from or the knowing hovv
! to-suit customers: whether from f.nv or all of them, is for your eyes aud
judgment to decide—that we do the business is not doubted.
.Just u moment for a word or two on our latest novelties. The newest
j thing in dress trimmings is the Surah Sash, very wide, and very handsome.
We have a line slock, at moderate prices. They are beautiful.
I Mrectoiro Ilatt; are lieiug woru a great deal, and they are very becom
ing to almost any face and figure. Our stock is unsurpassed and would cer
tainly suit the tastes of the most fastidious
Our (Jimp and Laces for dress trimmings are quite in keeping with the
extent of our stock iu other lines. We have everything worth showiug
The price, too, is what tells. While never for a moment sacrificing quality
| to cheapness, (for our reputation is built on this very thing) we endeavor to
i supply the best in the market at the most reasonable pri.;o. Remember that.
