As It subsequently transpired n large number of lloxers were quartered there. Scarcely had they entered the vil lage when the alarm was given. Poors were thrown open and scores of men, armed with every conceivable kind of ancient and modern weapon, flocked out on the road. Sticks and stones were thrown at them, and above tho din of voices they heard the report of flrearms. tint In a minute mnro they had cleared the town nnd were dash ing down the road 011 the other side of It.

Youth's Companion, FARM AND GARDEN, An tOneiny of the Tomiilo 1'lant, The potato beetle will cut toinnto plants, and especially w hen the plants are young. After potatoes appear the beetles will not annoy the tomatoes as long ns the potato vines are young nnd tender, but they will nltnck the egg plants nt all stages of growth, prefer ring them to potatoes. Those who grow egg plants should examine them twice a ilny, ns It requires but n few hours for the beetles to completely strip a young plant. As but few egg plants are necessary to supply an ordi nary family, It will not require much labor to look them over two or three times during the day until the beetles ore gone. Farm Separators.

An derson, In American Agriculturist. A lievoineil Owing lilt. Some time ago in these columns we gavo a description of 11 blinder de signed to stop a runaway horse. A new bit hns now been Invented by a French cnvalry officer warranted to restrain the most restive horse. It la based upon the principle that a horse cannot rear and kick as long as ho Is held to gether. As Is Indicated by tho unino tbe ucw bit nets In a contrary 'mauner to those now In geueral use. It acts directly upon the upper bars, raising tbe horse's head and holds tbe aulmal so that It cannot struggle. Very nervous horses, which It was previously difficult or dangerous to banule, have, on the application of the Bernard bit, become lamblike. The bit 1 an be put on to keep horses quiet whllo they are being barncssed, shod or examined by veterinary surgeons. A hard mouthed horse. This bit has tho advantage that It can be fixed to auy bridle. Just like an ordinary bit. The authorities of the riding school at Laumur have already adopted the Beruurd bit, aud It hns been tried In the army with perfect success. Lice lu Greenliotifie. It Is comparatively au easy task to keep lice out of tho greenhouse, but an almost hopeless aud tedious 0110 to clear a house from' them eutlrely when once they have been allowed to get well established, especially on larger lettuce aud el 111 liar plants. I have sometimes beeu annoyed by their pres ence In the lettuce bouse to such an extent that I resorted to the clearing off of a lettueo crop before the time of full development, for no other reason than to destroy the biding places of green liy, which had found safe re treat among the Inner Waves and un k DEVICE TO RESTRAIN RESTLESS HORSES der the outside leaven of the lelttlM plants.

When lice linvo once taken up their quarters In n greenhouse, a much larger quantity of steins should be used and the fumi gation should be repeated several times at a few days' Interval, until Ihe en emy Is utterly routed. After that tho dose may be decreased, but fumigation should never be entirely omitted. T. tlreluer. In Practical Farmer. Rearing the Comer Pnstfl. The usefulness of n wire fence large ly depends upon the stability of the corner post. There Is a heavy strain upon It, so It must be deeply set and well limccd. Jf the corner post Is drawn but an Inch from Its upright po sition the wires slacken, nnd a lonsn wire fence is a poor mid dntigeroiH one. The common fault Is In placing the brace too high on the post, nnd the post Is drawn out of line. A ORACH FOR A CORNER POST, III this section our fences nro gener ally of two wires and four feet high, with the second wire twenty Inches be low the top and the brace placed against the corner post Just below the wire and against the second post Just below the surface. Braces should be twelve feet long, but ten feet will do If extra care Is taken In setting posts. But a better method Is like that given below. The braces are clear of the ground, nnd they nre nt the top, where they are a shield to the wire as well as a protection to stock. These straight braces arc but six feet long, nnd several strands of heavy, smooth wire are stretched from bottom of cor ner post to top of second post nnd then twisted tightly Into n solid cable. As to the depth the corner posts should be put Into the ground each will decide according to soil nnd tho action of frost. I find that In most of our soils here two feet Is deep enough, but I presume four feet would be nec essary in some places, nnd perhaps pieces two to four feet In length spiked on the sides nt the bottom of the posts for anchors. Kxcept lu places where It Is quite wet pnrt of the year or lu low places where tho lift of the wiro Is considerable we set our Intermediate posts only eight Inches deep, and two rods apart where used only as a cattle and horse fence, ns much of It Is. J, M. Rice, lu National Htockninti. Food Consumption and Eggs. From careful test It hns been shown Hint the largest egg production Is nl ways during the period of greatest food consumption, nnd the smallest egg yield wns when the food consump tion wns least. This Invariably proves tho ease, so that one can depend upon the truth of It. Tho amount of food consumed sometimes varies according to Its quality. One may make tho ra tion so fattening that the hens will be come too fat for egg laying, but with a rensounblo diet tho egg product lou will be In direct proportion to the n mount of food fed aud cnteu. This mentis, of course, that the hens are able to digest and assimilate food, and not waste It. Tho feed should bo given only In such quantities and times as needed, and when the hens will cut It up clean, leaving no waste at all be hind. - There nre severnl things to consider which will help to stimulate the food consumption so that a ulrect ratio will ho held between the aniouut eaten and tho number of eggs produced. One of these is dully exercise. The hens must receive exercise dally to keep them in good condition. They cannot eat, di gest and assimilate a heavy diet un less they receive exercise In proportion to tho food. When stuffed with food for fattening, chickens and capons can for a few weeks eat a heavy diet with out exercise, but If this was kept up for any gieatlength of time the birds would sicken and die. Tuey could not continue the process without causing trouble in tbe digestive organs. In feeding for eggs the process must Le kept up indefinitely. Experiments hnve shown also that bens exercised will eat from two to five per cent, more food dally than those not exer cised. ' These same bens will also lay from five to ten per cent, more eggs. Next to exercise is the selection of the right kind of food. Here Is a wldo latitude offered to tbe beginner, and really every one must find out tbe so lution for herself. Begin by feeding a mixed diet of such foods that are the readiest at baud and tho cheapest to obtain. Sometimes one Is located so that wheat acreeuiugs are about as cheap ns anythlug, and nothing stim ulates the birds to layiug more than these screenings. Wheat is far ahead of corn for egg production, and is should be mado the most of at all times. Grceu things from the garden, scraps from the tuble, and the refuse from mills all make a varied diet that will give tbe best results for the least possible outlay of funds.
