Agricultural.
TLe cnbhajre delights in being well cul
tivated. 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."

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."

We muet eonfexfl ourselves completely surprised at the way oar ffoods
bave been.selling. On the f.th we opened the largest stock we had ever
brought to Butler. On the 20th our shelves were as bare as Mother Hub
bard's celebrated cupboard, and necessitated an eutire re stocking at once. :
To-morrow we open the fresh lot. and there is nothing of the showman's I
talk about in our warning you to come at once; it is the truth, from the way
our goods are selling. hether we sell because of cheapness, or quality of
good.-; whether because of the quantity to select from or thfl knowing how
to-suit customers: whether from any or all of them, is for your eyes and
judgment to decide —that we do the business is not doubted.
