Subject to Electric Shock*. Mre. Archibald Rankin, living in Hiokory Township, Penn., two miles east of Sharon, was subjected to an eleotrioal shook last Friday that par alysed lier left side, and she is in a critical condition. Her case is phe nomenal, says the New Orleans Times- Demoerat. She seems to be a human attraction for electricity, and in every eleotrioal storm she is more or less shocked by lightning. About tea years ago she suffered a shock from a bolt of lightning that rendered her powerless. Every year since then she has suffered, and it is n common oc currence for physicians to be dis patched from Sharon to revive her. So regular has this phenomenon become that she has been provided with a chair that rests on glass insulators, commonly used on telegraph poles. Mrs. Rankin considers herself free from danger in the ohair, where she remains until the storm is over. When she suffered the shook on Friday she had abandoned the chair, not suspect ing that she would be subjected to another shock. Tlio Karly lllrtlf. It's the early birds that catch the worm, jaith the proverb, but what a foolish worm it is to got up so early and be caught. Some of our farmers are the early birds. They go forth at dawn to catch up, as they call it, and they catch .something else. Tramping through wet grass and stubble on cold, damp, frosty mornings like these, and going thus all day thereafter, brings lo scores of them what they were not looking for. They come home In the evening to suffer all night with rheumatism. Now, while men must work, they need not suffer. Why should they when a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will keep them all right? A good rub at night with it will so strengthen and heal the muscles they will resist the influence of the cold and dampness, and a man will be cured before ho knows it. Let this be tried for a while, and if the man is not cured it is only because ho hasn't the patience to rub the pain out.

Keep the fall-planted cabbages grow ing by cultivating them when the land is sufficiently dry to permit of this being done. After they have started vigor ous growth a top dressing of nitrate of soda, at the rate of 100 or 150 pounds to the acre, will be found most bene ficial. It will induce growth which will enablo the plants to distance all the efforts of tho cabbage worm to check them,—Southern Farm. TREATING SEED WHEAT TO PREVENT SMUT. For each ten bushels of wheat take one pound bluestone and dissolve it in about three gallons of water. It dissolves best in boiling water. Heat one gallon, which will dissolve it, then add the other two. Now spread on barn floor or wagon box ten bushels of wheat, take an old broom and sprinkle and turn until all the grain is wet. Leave in a pile over night for next clay's sowing, or prepare in morn ing for afternoon sowing. Set the drill for about one peck more per acre, as it will not run quite so freely as before treating.—American Agri culturist. CULTURE OP THE HYACINTH. This variety of lily may bo grown either in soil or water. The former method is for ordinary garden culture, in which the bulbs are set out in a dry part of the garden in rich soil, with plenty of leaf mold in it, and four inches below the surface. To avoid danger from hard frosts the bed is covered with leaves, held in place by some fine brush or pine boughs. For water culture, the dry bulbs are set on the top of a glass vase or bottle, made for the purpose, with the bottom just tonching the water, in late October and on until December, so that there may be a succession of bloom through the winter. After tho bulbs have bloomed they may be set out in the garden to ripen for tho next year's growth. In the garden this pretty plant blooms early in tho spring. The bulbs may be set out in the open ground next month.—New York Times. HOW TO KILL CHICKENS. A novel method of killing chickens is being introduced abroad. Instead of sticking, bleeding, cutting the head off, etc., one takes the fowl in the left hand by the legs, catching the points of tho wings to prevent tho fowl from flapping. He lifts the fowl up, the head hanging downward. With the right hand he takes tho head, catch ing the neck between the first and third fingers, the thumb being on the face. The fingers must not crush the head, but must feci the bone at the back of the head firmly. Death is caused by lifting tho left hand and pulling down the right with a quick jerk, thereby dislocating the neck at the very point whero it joins tho head. Death is instantaneous if done prop erly, which can bo told by feeling the neck, which ought to be quito soft and entirely detached from the head, so that there is nothing but flesh and skin between the thumb and finger. By this method there is no flow of blood, but the blood is allowed to run into the head, which is carefully kept hanging down until after the bird is plucked.—New York World. CABING FOR BROOME CORN. The broom corn crop is of vast im portance, and it is quite proper to give some consideration as to how the crop may be best cared for. Quality and condition control tlie value of broom corn as well as other commodities, and best condition can be especially obtained by following certain rules and methods in caring for the crop. Cutting should bo done before the corn is bleached out, as color is essential, and when green tho brush possesses advantages both in attraotiveness and for working. When cut corn should be, as soon as possi ble, hauled under cover, and havs the seeds removed by running through the scraper. This done, it should be placed on shelves so arranged as to admit of a free circulation of air. In about ten days, if the weather is dry and all conditions are favorable, the corn will be ready to bale. It should be thoroughly examined, however, to see that it is dry and cured. After the broom corn is thoroughly dry, the next step is to bale, and this operation should receive great caro and attention, thero are too many shaky and lop-Eided bales received an nually, and it bothers those who han dle them to keep them from falling apart. It being of great importance to keep the ends of the boles square and smooth, the biush thonld be handed to the packer in small l)ts, the butts of which, having been evened by striking down upon a table or other smooth surface, and the one who places the brush in the box of the press should take care to keep the butts up close against the ends of the box and the brush properly lapped in the interior. Use No. 9 fence wire, fire to the bale, and it is not a bad idea to have a lighter wire to tie at each corner, and press Euffioiently to have a good, compact, tight bale which will endure the long journey and the handling. No matter how carefully and successfully every 6tep in the pro duction of the brush has been per formed, the profit of the crop will de pend, other things equal, upon proper baling. Great care and attention should be given to hove the seeds re moved ; there is too much fraud prac ticed by baling np trash, seeds and orooked corn in the bales with straight brush. Bale the crocked by itself.— Farm, Field and Fireside. A PLEA FOR THE SKUNK. Skunks are more useful to the far mer thau most people are willing to admit, «ays W. W. Maxim. They have always been regarded as nuisances and wantonly destroyed. Here in Now England for tho last teu years the white grub has made terrible b*VOQ with the grass fields by eat in „ off the roots just beneath tho surface of the soil. In some places large areas are entirely destroyed, not a green spear of grass being allowed to grow. In other localities there are large spots entirely killed and the re mainder more or leas injured, making the grass very thin where there is any. These worms are the larvse of the large brown beetle called the June bug. The skunks, where they have been allowed to live, have dug in and eaten theEe grubs in vast numbers, tho crows also assisting them greatly in the good work. Last year the beetles were not so numerous as in former years, owing no doubt to the depreda tions of these two agencies. Skunks do no damage to field crops to speak of, their only mischief con sisting in depredations on chickens and eggs during the night, and that could all be avoided if the farmers took proper care of their poultry. There are other depredators that would seize them if left exposed. There is no excuse whatever for leav> ing chickens overnight where skunks can have access to them. They; can not open doors nor climb up after eggs in the nest boxes. Instead of killing skunks for these reasons, a farmer had better look after his poul try. The skunk will not leave any scent unless attacked; in fact, they areas harmless as cats and much more so than dogs. I have hftd them coma into the barn in daytime while I was at work, passing by me so close that their long shaggy fur almost brushed my legs. I fed them every day with bits of meal, when they would sit down within two feet of me and eat it. They would walk about among tho poultry, never offering to touch one of them. They kept this up through the spring until the ground was bare, when they disappeared. They find plenty of mice and grasshoppers in the fields and pastures in some sea sons of the year, but tho early upring months while the snow covers the ground seem to bo tho hardest time for them. I think the virtues of tho skunk have not been duly appreciated. —Germantown Telegraph. FARM AND GARDEN' NOTES. Bright, red combs, clean plumage, plenty to do, indicates good health, and also shows that tho ttso of condi ments is necessary. Early and close culling aro the two principles upon which, to a very con siderable extent, success depends in improving the poultry. It is said that the polled Angus grades are more in demand in Europe than any other cattle. Herefords come next and Durhams last. A fly net and a darkened 6tablo will do much toward preventing the horse wasting in fighting flies that energy which should be expended on his legitimate work. Dr. MeClintook, of the University of Michigan, has been making experi ments with hens' eggs, and finds that many of them are infested with deadly bacteria. Excessive gum on cherry trees seems to be due to lack of potash. At least a bushel or so of unleached wood ashes worked well into tho soil about tho roots of a tree that was badly affected caused it to heal over smooth, grow vigorously and bear abundantly. So often the side branches of farm work fail to pay because carried on negligently. A dozen hives of bees should bring the farmer as much rev onue as a ten-acre wheat field. The return the care of his chickens would bring is underrated, and evun the children are not trained to a proper interest in them. The farmers who take a pride in their work, and read, study and sys tematize, are the class who will win. The poetry of farming has settled down to a ruoro beautiful prose. The genii of old which accomplished so much in a single day have become ma terialized, and they te.ke the forn of a sulky plow, the corn-planter and the harvester. The kinds of corn to plant for en silage will depend in great measure on the location. Amount of fodder is one thing and quality another. Tha time for raising a great mass of stalks without ears has gone by. It ia found that the ears are as valuable as the stalks, eo then the largest amount of both that can be grown the better the crop will be. Country shippers should give mora attention to tho condition of their coops before shipping. Every coop should bo carefully examined and see that tho bottoms and cleat 3 are se curely nailed. More or less stock is lost in transit by shipping in old worn-out coops, and this causes a dis crepancy in account of weights be tween shippers and merohants, for whioh the latter are oftentimes blamed. It is often a good plan to turn the poultry into the clover field. Clover is generally well occupied by insects, which gives the hens something to hunt for, and it is also rich in miner als, containing a large proportion of lime. Soft shell eggs are not likely to be laid by hens rnuning in a clover field, unless tho hens are very fat. All kinils of fowls thrive on olover, and as it is a cheap food it will pay to lot them have the run of the field. Eggs gathered up here and there about tho farm cannot bo relied upon as fresh. As far a'i possible the hens should bo obliged to lay in the poul try house, and the eggs gathered up several times a day, so that there is no chance for a stale egg to be packed up unknowingly. If the hens are per mitted to lay in the fence corners, un der the barn, or in the out buildings, the out of-the-way nests are likely to be overlooked when the weather is bad or one is in a hurry, and thus the &tole egg gets into the basket and spoil; the reputation of the poultry man. Frank Clifford, of New York, owns a collection of buttons numbering over uine thousand specimens. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. A XMOWZICDOE OP FOODS. The advance made in knowledge ol food*, their preparation and effect* in reoent years ia something wonderful, and undoubtedly mnch remains to be learned in all these directions, as well as in others relative to domestic econ omy, especially in our wastefulness. Americans do not know how to use material in the saving manner of a number of Nations, the French and Chinese for example. A Frenchman will prepare the head and feet of a chicken iu the most palatable and nu tritious manner. Among the more im portant kinds of food eaten here are wheat, corn, milk, buckwheat, beans peas, potatoes, beef, cabbage, apple?, chicken, veal, mutton, pork, codfish, eggs and oysters. The time of diges tion varies from two hours to five and a quarter hours, apples and codfish re quiring the shorter time and pork the longer. Wheat, beets, potatoes, eggs and oysters each require three and a half; corn and buckwheat, three hours and a quarter; peas, beef and mutton, three hours; cabbage, four hours and a half; chicken, two hours and five minutes; milk, two hours and a quarter. In regard to the cooking of meats, it has been said that the grid iron is typical of the advancement of civilization. Beefsteaks should not be pounded in the barbarous fashion employed by some cooks. A thick, juicy, clean-cut steak should be held AS closely as possible to the hot coals and turned quickly in order that all the nourishing juice should be kept inside. Salt should not be used until after the meat is cooked, as it hardens the fibres and renders the meat dry, tough and tasteless. Those who are cither too thin or too fat should make a careful study of themselves and their foods and eat acsordingly. A aheerful disposition, free from care aud worry, will go far toward helping in the assimilation of food, without which it were useless to hope for flesh. A perton inclined to corpulency should exercise freely and avoid fats, oils and vegetables which contain starch and sugar in large quantities. Foods for fleshy people to avoid, or which they should use very sparingly, are fresh bread, butter, milk, sugar, sweet potatoes, fat meats, corn, pas try, cake, sweetmeats and liquids. At tention to one's diet can accomplish complish more for health than many people yet know. -New York Tele gram. ItECtPES.
