Ho Strnck the Ex-President. , Oils Butterworth, the popalar boni face of the Ridge way House, is prob ably the only living man who, literal ly speaking, struck a President of the United States and received thanks in stead of a term in jail for it. Mr. But terworth onco gave it to Benjamin Harrison in the neck and he lives to tell tho tale. It was while President Harrison was living in his Cape May cottage. Mr. Bntterworth was run ning a hotol not far from the Execu tive residence. One day while enjoy ing a ride on a trolley car Mr. Butter worth, who happened to bo sitting be hind a short, thiok-set man with gray hair and beard, noticed a very large, healthy mosquito getting its bloody work in on the back of the thick-set man's neck. Acting on a very natural impulse, Mr. Butterworth raised his right hand and brought tho palm of it down on the man's neck with a re sounding slap. The inan turned quickly around and Mr. Butterworth saw that he was the President of the United States. "I beg your pardon," said Mr. But terworth, "but thero was a mosquito on your neck." "Thank yon very mucb," remarked the Chief Executive, cordially. "Judg ing from tho force of your blow I don't think the insect will give mo any more trouble. 1 don't use slang very often, bat this is tho first time I ever got it in the neck—at least in that fashion." Then Mr. Butterworth plucked the dead mosquito from the President's neck, and be and Mr. Harrison en tered into a pleasant chat on general topics. Mr. Butterworth has that mosquito yet.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Big Vessels lor the Lakes. rians already fo:med settle tho •question whether lake steamships dOO feet long or upward, with a capacity of carrying GOO tons ol freight at a load, will bo common after the open ing of tho channels twenty feet deep through all the shallows between Du luth and Chicago and the ports of 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 great part of the carrying trade of tho lakes, perhaps most of it, beforo tho end of tho century. The steamships already contracted for and thoso which are certain to be ,bmlt beforo next spring will undoubt edly so far surpass all vessels now in uso in ability to make motley at low rates for freight that other vessel 'owners will be forced to follow tho pioneers of this latest step forward in the construction of splendid lake car riers. Even an over supply of ton nage, such as is very likely to be the resalt, will not prevent the work of replacing small craft with steamers of the largest size from going on stead ily. In one sense it will hasten tho change. Only the biggest vessels can make money in such seasons of gen eral over-competition for cargoes, and in order to continue the business tho owners oj old boats must let them go out and putin commission steamships equal to any on tho great lakes.— Cleveland Leider. The Dangerous liiiscomboo. A Mrs. Jnmes, of Lexington, Ky., attacked, and desperately injured Michael Driggons with a buscomboo. This is one of the most dangerous weapons known to the Italians. It is supposed to have been made by Mrs. .Tatues's husband, who is an Italian. The weapon is made of a small cedar sapling, the root forming the knob into which twenty-two loug steel nails nro driven.

Few peoplo know, perhaps, that soot water made from the soot of wood fires is said to be an excellent fertil izer of houso or out-door plants. The soot should be brushed down from the chimney with a long handled brush, gathered into a quart bag and soaked in rain water .over night. The water will havo becomo as black as ink by the next morning and will be ready for use. To use about house plants it should 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.—New York Tele gram. FIGHTING THE ARMX WORM. "When the nrmv worms leave the low meadows upon which they usually feed, it means destruction to the farm era' crops which lie in the track of the migrating host. Professor Charles B. Lounsbury, of Massachusetts, recom mends plowing a deep furrow across this track, with the steep side next the crops. Make a largo number of holes in tho bottom of the furrow, into which the caterpillars will fall and where they can bo easily crushed. The grass ahead of tho army may bo sprayed with par is green, or in a cran berry bog tho ditches may be filled with water. A heavy roller may be run over tho ground occupied by the army. A barrier of planks or fence rails may be made and smeared thickly with coal tar, crude petroleum or even with kerosene. Thero should be no openings between or below tho planks or rails, which aro laid down end t<j end.—Americaq Agriculturist. CORN ON OUTSIDE ROWS, M. uy farmers plant two or three rows ot potatoes on tho outer edges of the corn field, so that in cultivating tho horse can turn on those without treading down the corn. But the po tatoes nre worso injurod by this tramp ing than the corn is, ami scattered as thqy nre on these outside rows, it re quires extra labor to harvest them. Wo have noticed also that when the corn was planted out to tho end of the rows, the outside hills, despito the in jury by trampling, had more grain in proportion to their stalks. This is un doubtedly because tho outside rows get most sunlight. It is a mistake to plant corn tbrckly. Three grains in a hill, if all grow as all should, nre bet ter than more, for if your stalks each have an ear tho size of tho ear will bo smaller, and it will mako greater work in husking and handling the crop with little or no increase of grain.—Boston Cultivator. HARP-MILKING COWS. There are many excellent cows whose only fault is that they aro hard to milk. This, to tho man who is not used to milking cows, may seem a comparatively small matter, but it is really most Rerious. It is not merely the expenditure of a little more mus cular exertion twise a day for several years. The cow that milks hard usually gets more or less abuse aud becomes a kicking cow. It is common for her to bo only partly milked, for when the milk comes hard at all times the stripping is sure to be extra diffi cult. LeaviDg some milk in tho udder at each milking is the surest way to make the cow go dry. This affects not only the cow, but her progeny, for as drying up early induces fatten ing this tendency is imprinted on the unborn calf. So, if two cows of other wise equ*.l 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 a gift. Most cases of hard-milking cows can be remedied by inserting a coarse needle in the teats. This should be done only by those who have had ex perience. Making the oriSce too large is a worse evil than tho other. The cow will ihen leak her milk, and a large part of what she would furn ish for hor keep will be wholly lost. Boston Cultivator. THE SQUASH BUG PEST. One of tho most disheartening pests is the squash bug. It is tho worm which catno in tho night and cut down the prophet Jonah's shady vine that covered his bower, under the shelter of which he escaped from the burniug sun that smote his head. It is the habit of the insect 1o do this very thing, and the expectant grower of the hoped for prize squash, with which he hopes to gain enviable and honor able notoriety in his rural community, lnay well say in his distress that ho does well to be angry, as the prophet cli & Jhe pest is bad in every way. It smells bad, and it does exasperating mischief, that is remediless. It is only to be prevented. To do this is easy with the kerosene emulsion, sprayed on the vines, or a few tobacco stems Bpread under the plant will be helpful. A few corncobs or other absorbent material steeped in gas tar qt any of the strong smelling crude petroleum products and distributed about (he plants will drive the bugs away before they have done mischief. If, in spite of ail preventatives, a vine is seen to wilt and tho leaves hang down, the stem is examined and the openiug in it where the grub has eaten its way into the vine it* found, then the vine ip slit with a sharp knife below the opening and tlie intruder is takoi) out nnd the wounded vine is covered soil to the node.pr Joiqt, at ne^ 1 , roots will be made. This habit of root ing at the joints may bo taken advan tage of to greatly assist in the growth of the orop, for as the covered joints take root the plant has more feeders and is able to supply larger fruits.— New York Times. <£ HORSE'S MOUTHS. During the many years in whifth the writer has been engaged in the practice of veterinary medioine there is nothing that has been more foroibly brought to his attention than the in difference of most people to the con* dition of the horse*s mouth. They seem to think tho mouth never becomes dorangod, when, in faot, it is one of tho most sonsitivo organs of the equine eoonomy. All young horses coming threo or four years old should have their teeth and mouth carefully examined when any symptoms of ten derness are shown in the mouth, as it is at this ago that some of the milk molars aro replaced by the permanent ones. In some cases the crown of the former is only partially displaced, ani} gives riso 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 trouble was due to a misplaced crown of a milk molar, which, upon removal, gave instant relief. Again, iu some horses the struotnro 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 dofect may be easily remedied by the use of the mouth rasp, &n in strument that may now be found in nearly all hardware stores. To heal tho raw surfaces a little alum and borax dissolved in water will act effectually. This humane method, if pursued by people who own horses, will prevent much suffering to the horse and at the same timo amply re pay the owner in the 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 thoso bug bears of most horse owners, namely, lampas, so called, and wolf-teeth. Lampas is supposed by most people to possess some mysterious power over a horso whereby his appetite becomes deranged. They therefore resort to cutting and burning the poor brute's mouth under the mistaken notion of curing the lam pas. The writer of this has been en gaged in tho care of horses for twenty* five years, and has yet to see a horse that was affected physically by lam pas, except in tho imagination of its owner. It is the sarno with the so-oalled "wolf-teeth." These teeth aro the vestigial remains of premolar teeth that, in tho romote ancestors of the horse, wero functional, and thoy have becomo through disnso more rudi ments, as it wore, of their former solves. They do not, by somo occult moans, affect the eyes of horses and causo them togo blind, nor are they respon sible, as some good peoplo conteud, for a horse being in poor condition. Nor is it at all necessary to punch them out with a hammer and cold chisel.—St. Louis Republic. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Peeil a pig ami you'll Lave a hog. Plant u piece of ryo near the poul try hor.se. Every one hundred fowls should have an 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 protit than two poorly kept. Just after the blossoms are gone is the best time to cut timothy. You can BOW buckwheat up to the 20th of July. Every farmer should sow some of this graiu. 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. Hot, dry weather is very enervating to COWB. and they will drink much more water than when the grass is wet with moisture and the temperature cooi. Millet, or Hungarian grass, requires a fertile soil, as it is a heavy feeder, audit wants most of the season be tween spring and fall frosts in which to mature. In Bulletin 40 of the Minnesota Ex periment Station is a report of con tinued experiments in root pruning corn. The trials for three years showed an annual loss. Although much has been said against the feeding value of turnips, and that they cause bad-tasting milk and but ter, an expert says he has always raised and fed them with success. Flat turnips may be sown in July, but the seed bed should be mellow, fertile and clean to insure a profitable crop. Sow preferably just before or after a rain, and virgin land recently cleared is the best. The man who knows and appreci ates just when to use the roller aud the harrow upon the ground for its best good and the good of his crop, is well abreast of the best thought of the age in matters of soil tillage. Sort your eggs as to oolor before bringing them to market. They look nicer, and the dealers prefers them that way because his customers do. They like white eggs for tablo use, /ind colored oats for cooking. (irass is most profitable of all prod ucts of the soil. It may not be so di rectly, but it oerttainly is so indirect ly, for while hay sold from the farm is jlnot.a very profltable crop, yet the Yproducts of the feeding of the grass Sue wholly indispensable to the contin ued culture of the laud.

The sugar should beadded gradually and well mixed into ensure its melting thoroughly 5 but once this is effected, it can scarcely boil too fast. Properly made, tho color of this preserve will be preserved.—New York Telegram. HOW TO MARK ATTAR OF ROSES. Use the fragrant petats of flowers of the same season. Roses and jas mine, with a small quantity of sweat brier and mignonette, make a nice mixture, Thero must be a greater quantity of rose leaves than of all the others together. Spread the petals ou a layer of cot ton which has boon dipped in the finest Florenco or Lucca oil, and sprinkle over them a little tine salt. Lay on another slioet of cotton, and add petals and salt as bofore; repeat this, with a layer of the oiled cotton botween each iayer of petals, until you have filled a china bowl or a wide mouthed jar. Tio a bladder closely over all, and placo the vessel in the sun ; if under a garden forcing glass, all the better. 11l about iifteeu days rcmovo the bladder and squeeze tlio cottoa and petuls, when n fragrant oil will bo ex pressed resembling tho high-priced attar of roses sold by druggists. Tlie bottle into which this oil is squeezed must bo corked up immediately. A bottlo with a glass stopper is bost for tho purpose. If cork is used tie a piece of bladder over it.—St. Lotus Star-Sayinge. BE<IPE.S.

Hoat tho gravy on tho fire, put tho eggs in melted butter and roll in flour. Put them in tho hot gravy and let them get hot. Lay tho eggs in a dish on the fried bread and pour the gravy over. Vegetable Soup—Boil two pounds ol beef and when quite done tako it up and lay aside for supper. Strain the liquor ill which it was boiled. Clean and wash one carrot, ono small pars nip, one turnip and one onion, cut all in lengthwiso strips to resemble noodles, put into tho liquor and boil till tender. Add a nice tomato and some parsley and servo with croutons. English Fruit Tart—Make without an under crust. Fill a shallow pud ding dish with one and one-lialf pints of seeded cherries; sprinkle with one cup of sugar and ono tablespooaful of flour. Make a rich pie crust and roll out a little larger than tho top jf tho dish, but of the same shipe. Prick it with a fork and spread over tho top of the chorries, turning it in at the edges. Bake about an hour iu a moderately hot oven. The English sprinkle sugar over tho tart beforo it is brought to the table. Boast Shoulder of Veal With Pota toes—Remove tha bono from tho shoulder of veal without cutting through the outer skin, and 1111 tho cavity with sliced potatoes and onions and season with salt and pepper; sew and put the shoulder iu shape. Place in a baking pan with the bones under it, and brown quickly in a hot oven. Then season with salt and pepper, dredge with flour ana baste with tho drippings in the pau. An hour bofore the veal is done add a dozen medium sized potatoes and put them into the pan with tho meat. When tho veal is done arrange them arouuid it on the platter; make a gravey out of the drippings in the pan and serve in a gravey dish. Marriage Riirjs May lie Any Material. There is a popular idea that a ring made of gold is tho only one that cau be legally used iu a wedding oere mony. This is, however, a fallacy. Any and every kind of ring may bo used, and though gold ones are cus tomary, there is no reason whatever why silver or any commoner metal should not be called into requisition. Numerous instances are on record of runaway marriage m which a brass ring has played the all-important part, and the legality of the ceremony lias never been questioned.
