Hoe around them and keep the soil loose Don't pull your lettuce up. but cut them off, as they will shoot np new spronU and gire a continued -tipply. Lima Iteans should lie fastened to lite poles with strinirs as S«M»II a.s they begin I" run. They will then grow more rapidh and permit of working the hills. It is a waste of time to attempt to pre serve eggs unless they are known to lie strictly frc-h. An egg that i over a few days old will not keep if packed iu warm wether. Mutter can be made cheaper now than at any othei season. Less labor is required in caring for the cows, and the best yields of milk and butter are when the cows are on grass. It is clamed that one pound of linseed meal is equal to ten pounds of hay. Reiug a cooked food it is easily digested, is safs to use. and cheap compared with its value as food. Rake around the rose bushes and dahlias and stir the ground. Dahliahs should be well grown by this time. A shovelful of manure around the dahlias should be ap plied if the plants arc backward andofslow growth. During very warm weather the pigs will suffer if they have no fresh water and shade. Some breeds of hogs such as the Yorkshire, have very tcuder skins, and it will benefit them to give them a good washing occasionally. Rose-bugs are destroying the rose? this season, and it is almost impossible to pre vent their ravages. The roses may be par tially saved, however, by an application of Persian insect powder. It should lie used as often as may be required. If your apple trees are overloaded it will pay to shake off a portion of the young fmit If hand-picking of the extra fruit is necessary it should be done. A crop of apples of first quality will bring a higher price than a larger crop of inferior ones. If the grass is very rank around the house the lawn mower should be used. Ry keep ing the grass short there will be fewer snakes and other small reptiles harboring therein. If the lawn mower will not cut it use a grass scythe tirst. and then apply the lawn mower- If trees are devoid of fruit this season they may bear better next year. A tree does not usually bear a full crop every sea sou. Keep out the grass and weeds and apply twenty or thirty bushels of uuleach ed wood ashes per acre to the orchard, and result will be that a large crop will be obtained when the trees bear again. If the leaves fall off prematurely examine the trees for insects. A liberal application of a mixture of equal portions of air-slaked lime and wood ashes will often cause the ground to pro duce grass when other methods have fail ed. It is difficult to secure a stand of grass under trees, as the trees take all the nourishment ot the soil from the grass. Lime and ashes will prove bcueficial to shade trees also, and as such fertilizers are cheap they should bo used more extensive ly- Mistakes in cultivation are made in not doing the work at the proper time, which increases the labor, and causes the work to be repeated sooner than is necessary. The best time to use the cultivator for the purpese of destroying grass is when the heat of the snn is high. If done before a rain occurs some of the grass will tako root and make new growth. Very young grass may be cleaned out after a rain, lint where the growth is heavy the work can be made more effective if done in dry weather. HINTS OS SHOEING. Do not let horses' shoes remain over three to six weeks, dependent on the amount of use aud the toughness and growth of the hools. Each time after taking off the shoes, if the road permits let him go bart'fiHtted as long as no injury followed, as this expands the hoofs and keeps them in more perfect condition. Some horses can be used barefoot, off pavements, for months, or the whole year round, aud work better than if shod. Never allow the frog of the foot to be cut or trimmed, unless somewhat ragged and then only a very lit tle, as it acts as a cushion to the foot and lessens or even preveuts bruising when striking a stone or other hard substance. See that the hoof is not pared beyond ap solute necessity, aud that the shoe is prop erty fitted to it, and not the hoof to the shoe. Do not allow the bottom of the hoof to be burnt or even scorched with a hot shoe, in order to make it set evenly, but pare it properly to do so. Always use the lightest shoes compatible with the condi tion of the roads aud the work required of the horse. MISCHIEF MAKERS IN MILK. According to Prof. Vaughan, tyrotoxicon does not develop below GO- 1 Fabr., and is anaerobie—grows where air is excluded. Some very simple measures, then, are pre ventative: 1. Scrupulous cleanliness. A little dry milk on the rim of a can or vessel may breed the germ which will find a culture ground in fresh milk. 2. A low temperature—below 60 Fahr. 3. Ventilation in an untainted atmos phere. It is but just to say that these precau tions are generally observed by careful dairymen aud cream manufacturers. There is grave reason to fear, however, that they are not generally observed after the milk reaches the consumer's hand. Also, the slightest carelessness may affect seriously that class of the community which does not speak for itself—the very youugest. Statistics prove with increasing testimo ny that all artificial feeding is not only uu natural but hazardous, aud to be success ful requires the most intelligent attention. However, if all mothers and nurses could learn that milk exposed to foul or warm air for any length of time may not only sour, but become the vehicle of a virulent poison, perhaps the suuimor mouths would bear a better health record. One woid ot warning may not be amiss. Whenever a young child is fed upon cow's milk, and this causes symptoms of disa greement, the diet should be changed at once either to meat or rice; for, if the chief mischief-maker be at work, the best milk will only furnish it with the medium i,n which it nourishes, and deprived of this, it will inevitably perish. Wouldn't Stay Any Longer. "I understand that you have left llobbs «t Silby's." "Ves, I have quit'em." "What was the cause?" "Well, old Hobbs discharged me, and you know. Jack, what a terrible temper I've got. I just up and told him that no man could discharge me with impunity,and then I put on my coat and hat ami left." —A perfect paradox—a beautiful plane tree. —All affections of the kidneys and liver are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla Try it. Strange Evidence in Court. lit ft San Fraiui-4-.i r.mrt recently a couple who had lived ft- man and wife were making bitter charges against each ; other. 011 account of a recent quarrel. 'I he | man demanded that their children be t.ik<• 1 from their mother, as she iva< not reariiitr \ them properly. What followed is thus pa thetically told by the Chronic),: Finally the mother -aid. in answer t<• ( -miie charge made by Chrisman: "Don't i believe him, judge. I have rai-eil my chil I dren as they should be." This was all Recorder Prince wanted. \ and he said: "I'll te t it. madam." and turning to the younger girl, a little tot not more than 3 years old. he .-aid: - '<' an you -a}- your prayer ?" Then en ued a most touching scene. The little girl, without .1 word, climbed from her chair, knelt 011 the lloor ol the court room, with the policemen, -poctators, judi'e and her fat her and mother around her, and, folding her tiny hands and lifting her eyes to heaven, she made the grandest defense of a mother's word possible. Slowly, but distinctly, and without a tremor in her voice, the innocent little darling, born with the stain of shame upon her and dis carded by her father, lisped in childish ac cents the Lord's Prayer. As she proceeded, utterly oblivious to her surroundings, .she uttered that prayer which many in the room had not heard for year.;, strong men bowed their heads and sobbed aloud. Finishing her prayer she added: "God bless papa and mamma and Uncle Duliss, Amen," and arose from her knees. The case was settled, and had William Chrisman sworn a thousand oaths that his wife was bad he would have been disbe lieved. Senator Hampton's Story to the President. Washington letter to Columbus, Ohio, .Journal: Senator Wade Hampton is a good story teller. As far as is known he is tip to this time the only man who has had the temer iity to tell the President an impious tale, and Gen. Harrison was much pleased with the narrative. "I always did like army sto ries," ho said, "and you can't expect army stories to be pood enough to tell a Sunday school class. 1 forgave the profanity ol Senator Hampton's story out of considera tion for its wit." The story Senator Hampton told was an army story —not particularly new and fresh, but new to the President. ' One day during the war." said the Sen ator. "the colonel of a South Carolina reg iment was making a round of inspection. Sitting lazily on a rail fence whittling at a piece of shingle he found a man whose face was not familiar to him. The colonel was indignant. Approaching the loafer he call ed out to him with all proper severity: ■Who the are you. sitting here in this fashion?' 'I, sir,' responded the man on the fence, continuing his whittling, am the chaplain of the st Regiment. Xow, who in are you?' " A Big Purchase by Pennsyl vanians. The famous Etowah property, in Bar stow county, Ga., containing 17,000 acres mineral land, has been purchased by Gen eral Granger, of Philadelphia, representing a Pennsylvania company, for $190,000. Of the purchase money $5,000 was paid in At lanta Saturday last, and $15,000 more is to be paid on the 15th of the present month. It is understood the property has been pur chased for the Bethlehem Iron Works Com pany, of the famous Lehigh Valley. The purchasers will begin by mining iron and manganese ore on a large scale and ship ping; it to Pennsylvania. When, in this way, the quality and availability of the ore is practically demonstrated thev will build a series of furnaces on the property, and probably also a manganese furnace and rolling mills. The Atlanta Constitution says the iron ore on the purchase has for years been recognized as the finest in America, and but for the civil war the Colts would have established their famous armory on this property. The Echo Explained. "What is an echo?" asked the teacher of the infant class. "It's what you hear when yon »hout,"re plied a youngster. "Is it caused by a hill or a hollow?" ugain asked the teacher. "Roth." was the ready reply. "How so?" "The hill throws back the holler." —A man of small caliber is the greatest bore. —Of what kind of timber is the post of honor? —A boom in pickled pork is a ease of salt rising. —A lynching party always travels at a break-neck speed. —Oftentimes the boldest of ventures is to venture an opinion. —Life is no chestnut; it is a story that is only told once. —An old actor, painting his face to look youthful, is "making up" for lost time. —The Electoral College has no baseball team. It is the only college of the kind in the country. —Female barbers are not having much success. Gentlemen will not go to them because they dislike to be cut by a lady. —A prominent citizen of New York died the other day and a newspaper in com menting on the sad occurrence remarked that the deceased "may be quite au acces sion to the other world, but he is a small loss to this." Here is a striking example of the delusiveness of New York's best people. —The simplest and surest test of a dia mond is said to be by means only of a piece of paper aud a lead pencil.
