Sizer and J. H. Morgan. The fish laws are very strict and great care should be exercised by lovers of this sport in order to avoid being caught in some un lawful act. Mrs. Mary Golden, aged 82 years, duplicated her girlhood's woi k in the harvest field on tbe farm of her son, Isaac Golden, in Adams county, and bound sever al sheaves of wheat just to show the younger generation that she had not forgotten how to take up the work that in her younger days was the commonwork of tbe women on the farm. ...

Our old friend George Mills, formerly of Union township, but now extensively engaged in farm ing in Maryland, has just threshed tbe wheat from 120 acres and got 4,200 bushels. He has 80 acres yet to thresh, which will yield as well as the first, and he expects to have a total crop of 7,000 bushels. His elevator man says no finer wheat ever grew in Washington county. The crop was cut with two eight foot binders, took 610 lbs. twine, and required 14 head of horses. He has about GO acres in corn with prospects for a bumper crop. . Mr. Denton Hendershot, one of Fulton county's substantial farmers, was in town yesterday. Hands being a little scarce this harvest, he climbed onto tbe bind er and drove it ten days, which is a pretty good record for a man that is "not as young as he used to be." Mr. Hendershot says, that while the straw is good, he does not think the yield of wheat this harvest will be up to expec tations. Mr. JobTruax, stand up! Since you sent your timothy heads in, we have received two from your neighbor Amos Plessmger, that measure 11 inches, and 11 inches respectively. While you did not tell us about your'rye, Mr. Pies singer says that from one grain sown on his farm last fall, there grew 38 heads, aggregating a yield of 1 746 grains. At that rate you see, if one grain yields 1746 grains, 1 bushel would yield 1746 bushels. Now as to value: The one bushel of seed rye is worth about 75 cents, and 1746 bushels is worth 1746 times 75 cents, which is $1,309.50. It is plain to the Editor that there is more money raising rye than run ning the Fulton County News. To News Subscribers.

Too Much Like Work, The happy mother of a seven-months-old baby, whose chief business seems to he making a noise In the world, was paying her sister a vlBlt, and the other evening young Master Harry, aged seven years, was dele gated to care for the baby while his elders were at dinner. So he wheel ed it back and forth, forth and back, the length of the library, giving vent to his sentiments by singing, much to the amusement of the family: "Gee whiz! I'm glad I'm free, No wedding bells for me." Why Run RIsksT A runadlftn author wrote an anthem for a recent celebration in Toronto. Toward the end of the exercises, when the people were going out a lew at a time, the author rushed to the conductor and said: "Is it overt" "Practically." "But, Great Scott! man, they have not sung my anthem!" "Well," said the conductor, "so long as the people are going out peacefully and quietly, why sing it at allt" Watching the-Valuable Child. "Vy do you watch your little Able so closely; you don'd let him out of your sightT" "He lss such a valuable child now be needs watching." "But you never thought so before!" "I know; but dls morning be swal lowed a five-dollar gold pieces." Never Forget Anything. A successful business man told me there were two things which he learned when he was eighteen, which were ever afterwards of great use to him, namely: "Never to lose anything and never to for get anything." An old lawyer sent him with an important pa per, with certain instructions what to do with it. "But," in quired the young man, "suppose I lose It; what shall I do then ?" "You must not lose it!" "I don't mean to," said the young man, "but suppose I should happen to?" "But I say you must not happen to; I shall make no provis Ion for any such occurrence; you must not lose it !" This put a new train of thought into the young man's mind, aud he found that if he was determm ed to do a thing he could do it. He made such a provision ugainst every contingency that he never lost anything. He found this equally (rue about forgetting. If a certain matter of importance was to be remembered, be pinned it down on his mind, fastened it there, and made it stay. He used to say: "When a man tells me that be forgot to do something, I tell him he might as well have said: 'I do not care enough about your business to take the trouble to think of it again.'" I once had an intelligent yourg man in my employment who deemed it sufficient excuse for neglecting any important task to say: "1 for got it." I told him that would not answer. If he was sufficient ly interested, he would be careful to remember. It was because he dil not care enough that he for got it. I drilled him with this truth. He worked for me three years, and during the last of the three he was utterly changed in this respect. He did not forget a thing. His forgetting, he found, was a lazy and careless habit of the mind, which he cur ed. Country Gentleman. The Flat Iron. When the thermometer drop ped below zero Mrs. Rogers was much disturbed by the thought that Huldab, tbe new kitchen maid, slept in an unheated room. "Huldah," she said, remember ing the good old custom of her girlhood, "it's going to be pretty cold to night. I think you had better take a flat iron to bed with you." "Yes, ma'am," assented Hul dah without enthusiasm. Mrs. Rogers, happy in the be lief that her maid was comfort able, slept soundly. In the morn ing she visited the kitchen. "Well, Huldah, how did you get along with the flat iron ?" Huldah breathed a deep sigh of recollection. "Veil, ma'am, I got it 'most warm before morning." Every body's Magazine.
