FARM AND GARDEN.
In the opinion of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, as rendered by Chief Justice
Jackson, it is immatoriarwhether a per¬
son worked a plantation as a partner or
as a mere cropper or hired hand, who
was to work for half the crop; after the
ciop was divided, the tit e to the half set
apart to him became his, and the other
party had no title thereto and could not
recover it in trover. If the latter had
any claim for advances, hia remedy was
to sue therefor.
Crab Grass Hay.
“There is no crop,” says Col. A T.
Holt, of Macon, Ga., “that wiil pay the
farmers more than crab grass. The
richer the ground the better the crop
will turn out. There is more real money
in it than any thing else a fanner can
plant, and the laud not impoverished,
lake a piece of land, prepare it in May,
sprinkle manure broadcast, turn it under
with a good two-horse plow, harrow and
roll it good and it will seed itself, the
seed being indigenous to the soil. It is
to be cut when it is in bloom. Let it
sun for about two hours and put into
cocks. The curing follows. I had 25
acres, from which I cut thirty-two two
horse loads of Lay at two cuttings. You
can easily cut two tons and to the acre. The
crop is a natural one requires little
work. I had some waist high, and it wa*
g orious for stock.”
The Money Value of Manure.
Manure ig very much increased in
value according to the kind of food used.
Straw is a poor food; the poorest in fact,
and »iiimais fed on straw leave behind
i hem a lot of manure of the poore-t kind.
\\>.lu#d at the rat s charged by dealers in
artificial manures r fertilizers, this straw
manure is worth $2.5 > per ton. Tbit
value of course depends upon several cir¬
cumstance.-:; for instance,~where market*
are near and lauds are high in value, this
estimate for the value of the manure is
reasonable. But where land is very cheap
the-e values do not apply. Then as the
foo 1 increases in value so does the ma
nure. The manure m#de from a ton of
clover hav is valued at over 413.00; that
from a ton of bran is worth $14; that
from a ton of linseed oil-eake meal is
worth $23.00, and that from a ton of
cotton seed meal $29.00. These are high
values for the manure, but they are per¬
fectly-justified by the the facts. How im
portaut then is it to farmer that he
should use this valuable manure in the
most economical and effective manner;
by preparing tbe soil thoroughly and
mixing the manure, which furnishes the
plant food for his crops in the most inti¬
mate way with it This can be dons
most perfectly only by the very best
implements the soil made sufficient especially and to pulverize mix
to a depth to
the manure evenly and thoroughly with
the fine mellow earth.
Harvesting Oats.
A writer in the S<mthei~n Cultivator
says: “In saving feed oats I commence
to harvest when they are in good dough
or about half ripe. It never makes any
difference with me, ss to wet or dry
weather, when I am having them cut, I
6 to >p only during a shower. I have them

game time. If wet, I let them stand till
they dry off; and then I don’t cap them
unless there is appearance of more rain ;
and, rea Jy, it is best to cap none of them,
and keep them no, although the caps are
more easily fitted when first cut, and
could be taken off when the sun shines
out, aud replaced when there are indica¬
tions of rain. I never let them remain
in the field longer than ten to fifteen days
if the weather is suitable to haul them
to the barn. It is a good idea, after a
wet spell, when the weather is fair,
to scatter and let them sun after the
dew has dried off. But they should be
shocked again in the evening. 11 is highly
important that they should be housed
perfectly dry to keep them lrorn mould¬
I ing. When 1 get ready to haul them iu
about commence on a fair, sunshiny day,
and eight or nine o’clock, to tear down
scatter what I can haul and house
the remainder of the day. Now for
hauling I and storing away in the barn.
back commence by placing the butts in the
end of the barn, of the first bundle.
1 then place the next bundle with the
butts iu an opposite direction, always
keeping the heads together, though well
butts lapped back as far as the tie, and the
together. As soon as one tier is
run across to a height that is inconveni¬
ent to reach or place them well, com¬
mence on the floor by placing the butts
together again, never forgetting to cap
the heads well. The barn can be filled
full, if gime one gets upon the top
of the pile and has them thrown up
to be put in place The bundles should
never be crossed and piled, but made to
fit smoothly and evenly on the top. If
the Cultivator farmers will follow this
plan one year, I guess that you will hear
no more discussion among them about
rat proof barns to save cats from the
destruction of rats. In feeding them out
of the barn it is best to always take them
off the tip. They pack down so close
and tight it is almost impossible to get
them from anywhere else.
The Men who Succeed,
Says the Manufacturers' Gazette:
“The young men who receive promo¬
tion are the men who do not drink on
the sly. They are not the men who are
always at the front whenever there is
any strike, nor are they the men who
watch for the clock to strike twelve and
leave their picks hanging in the air.
They are not the men who growl if they
are required to attend to some duty a
few minutes after the whistle has
sounded. They are the men usually
who pay the closest attention to the de¬
tails of their business, who act as though
they were trying to work for their em
ployer’s interest instead of to beat bim
at every crook and turn. They are the
men who give the closest attention to
every practical detail, and who look con¬
tinually to see whether they can do any
better or not. This class of men are
never out of a job. They are scarce.
They never strike, they never loaf, and
they do not ask for their pay iwo or
three weeks before pay day.”
The news from Suakim is distressingly
meagre, says an exchange. For in¬
stance, a dispatch states that the enemy
appeared in force in the direction of
Handoub, and the men at work on the
railroad ceased operations. Now, who
were the enemy ? Did the men strike
when they quit ? And did they join tho
enemy, or stand to one side to see that j
the latter did not commence where they
left off? Railroad men quitting work in
this oountry has but one significance.
NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
COMPARISON* BKTWKRN MEN THERE
ANO MEN AT THE NORTH.
The Jolly Man a ltara A vis In the Crrseenl
I lly—Urltlriam Not Welcomed.
“The manners and onatoms of the men
of New Orleans are peculiar. The prev¬
alent expression on their face is not a
cheerful one; it is sombre and thought¬
ful, if not melancholy, and a visitor who
wanders about town is struck by the
number of men who seem to be brood
iug over a wrong, jollity attracts at
tention. In the Northern cities there is
an endless number of men who show by
their cheerful faces, free manners, and
prosperous-looking clothes that they
take life easy and enjoy things by the
way. Every one is familiar with this
type of man. His wit may be cheap,
his talk slangy, and his perpetual cheer¬
fulness at times a bit raspin g, but his
laughter is none the less infectious, and
his face insures him a welcome every¬
where. He talks too loud in the read¬
ing room of the club, plays practical
jokes on the waiters in the restaurants,
is apt to look too long upon the wine,
and commits various other indiscretions
that annoy the frigidly polite; but it is
to be observed that he has hosts of
friends, that his puree is always opeD,
and that he is asked to ten dinners a
month where the frigidly polite must
content themselves with two or three.
When he sails up to a bar or into a eafe
he is greeted with smiles, and there is
a rustle of satisfaction all around. He
usually has a waistcoat that bellies out
like tbe , ib o£ ft yac ht in a gentle
breeze, his trousers are natty, bis boots
well polished, and his hands white and
soft. Every one calls him ‘Charley,’
‘Billy,’ ‘Smithy,’ or some other affec¬
tionate version of Charles William
Smilh, if that happens to be bis name,
aud he goes through life and about town
in a manner that does good on every
hand.
“This type of man is not a rarity in
New York, Boston, or Philadelphia, but
he is almost unknown in New Orleans.
He is not to be found at any of the ex¬
cellent clubs the town can boast of, at
the bars or in the streets. The men
drink here with the soberness of mourn
ers. Thev walk along the streets with
their eyes half closed and their hands in
their pockets, and the ring of a quick
and vigorous step on the pavement
never comes from a native’s heels.
“I wandered into one of the oldest
barrooms iu New Orleans one night
about 9 o’clock, and the melancholy air
which hung over the place struck me
at once. It had low ceilings and was
musty. Mythical faces painted on the
panels of the wall in ante-bellum days
were as faded as the gilt that encircled
them, and the sanded floor was worn as
smooth as a bit of polished marble, save
where the knots in the wood rose above
the level. The bar and all decorations
of the big square room were painted
white, and the bartenders, I was told
by the man who took me there, had
been in their places for years and years.
The man with me knows everybody
here, is a member of three clubs, and
popular as popularity goes in this lym¬
phatic tOWD.
“ T find I’m growing old too fast
lieah,’ he remarked, slowly, the other
day. ‘I’m healthy enough, sound as a
dollab, as far as I know, weigh 185
pounds, and stand six feet high. 1 eat
aud sleep well, but there’s something
wrong with me shuah. When I was
No’th at oollege I was as spry on my
toes as a French dancing master, but
now I’m as lauguid as a malaria dude.
I go borne at night five or six times a
week and sit dreaming of what I shall do
some day in a business way, and go to
lied full of ideas and resolutions. On
the following morning I am so enervated,
weak, and lifeless that I go orawling
about like a man of sixty. It’s the
climate, I think.’
“Scattered about the barroom were
half a hundred men of the same social
status as the crowds that drink in the
cafe of the Brunswick or at the Hoffman
House. They were sitting at small
tables in little knots of twos and threeo.
talking iu subduod tones. Most of them
wore frock coats, which hung in wrinkles
on their shoulders, while their faoes
were shaded by soft felt hats. They
were New Orleans geutlemen, though
not New Orleans swells or clnb men.
There was not a ruddy, healthy-looking
face among them, most of the cheeks
being either pale or sallow. As the mau
with me passed along he nodded right
and left, and was sainted in return by
solemn duckings of the bead and such
greetings as ‘ Well, David,’ ‘ Good
evenin’, Dave,’ ‘Ah, Dave,’ and simply
‘David.’ Though these men had grown
up with him from ohildhood, and hail
been companions with him for years,
they were as quiet, oold, and formal in
their greetings as though meeting a re¬
cent acquaintance. It was not the self¬
repression and very proper air that Eng¬
lishmen affect, but an almost sullen man¬
ner, and barely relieved of discourtesy
by the softness of the voice.
a i Ff you think this place is quiet now
yon should have seen it a tew, a very
few, years ago, ’ said the proprietor of
the saloon a little later on. ‘Policemen
were stationed at the doors then to
search every one who entered to take a
drink, so as to see that no concealed
weapons were carried. This searching
process took the irons away from all the
boys, and they felt kinder lonesomer and
quieter than ever. The place was like s
tomb then.’
“This downcast air is as prevalent
among the members of what is caller!
the best society as it is elsewhere. The
men, when yon meet them, are courte¬
ous, quiet, and sad. They talk about
the gravest of things, and when a dozen
of them gets together it is only at rare
intervals that a ian^h is b eard.”

TUI SHOSHONES OF IDAHO.
frails of the Indians as They are Found
.lllngling with the Whites.
Tl»e Shoshone Indian reservation is
Gear Pocatello, in Idaho, but the work
of confiuktg these nomads to an allotted
space is, I fancy, a difficult task. Num¬
bers of Shoshones are met with daily,
traveling over the various lines of rail¬
way in the neighborhood of the reser¬
vation. They are furnished with free
transportation, but free transportation is
ali; for no matter how inclement the
weather they must ride on the platforms
of the coaches if a passenger train, and
if a freight on the tops of the cars.
Those owning stock are, to a certain ex¬
tent, independent of the railroads, and
are frequently encountered in consider¬
able numbers crossing the country or
trading at the stations.
Occasionally you will see a party com¬
posed of a dozen or more Shoshones,
bucks, sqnaws and papooses and half
grown children grouped upon the station
platform, awaiting the arrival of the
train. The squaw, besides tbe cares of
a mother (they all appear to be moth¬
ers), is also the beast of burden, and has
strapped to her back a large bundle of
blankets and other necessary camp
effects. Her attention is devoted-to her
domestic duties. The children eye with
silent wonder all that is new and strange
around them, while the buck, pigment
in hand, heightens the color of his cheek
or forehead, supremely indifferent to
the interest he excites.
Contact with the white man has taught
the Shoshone something of tbe art of
trade. Entering a store, followed by the
entire party, however large that party
may be, the spokesman will take from
the bag on the back of the squaw one
of the pelts he wishes to sell or ex¬
change for supplies, and laying it before
the proprietor asks how much. Should
the offer not suffice he will shake his
head, replace the skin in the bag and
take out another, which is also handed
to the storekeeper for inspection. This
is repeated several times, when the
storekeeper, becoming impatient, asks
the spokesman if he has auv more and
what he will take for the lot, but the In¬
dian only smiles and shakes his head, as
The “Barts.”
A quarter of aentury ago, it was the
fashion to poke fun at the American
“on his travels.” Now the children of
Uncle Sam have made so many trips
across the big pond that they have be¬
come quite as fly as the English brother;
nay, more so, for the Yankee has his
natural cuteness to fall back upon. But
now and then they will put their foot in
it. For example a worthy citizen of the
State of Navada—a man whose millions
are periodically mentioned in the news
papers with due respect—found himself
not more than a year ago in an English
churchyard. With him was his faithful
Dick—for this was before the tender
iUni, koia tLa trustworthy Dichord
to the millionaire was broken, the golden
cup of their friendship ruthlessly shat,
tered. They were theguests of an Eng¬
lish country gentleman, and he was
showing them the sights of the neigh¬
borhood. Among the tablets were quite
a number bearing the names of the
deseased baronets of the county. There
was Sir John Sims Bart, and Sir Tom
Gims Bart, and Sir Richard Grims Bait,
and so on. Then up and spoke the
traveler to his host.
“You have a number of the Bart fam¬
ily buried here I see ?”
Richard grins aud treads on his
patron’s toe, but the devoted statesman
rushes on to his fate.
“Well, they were nice people, those
Barts, and we had some of ’em working
for us in Nevada. There was Jim Bart,
I well remember, aud a better miner
never stepped into a cage.”
The politeness of the Britisher re¬
strains him from laughing, as well as from
making an explanation, and before Diok
oan enlighten his patron as to the true
meaning of the abbreviation, they are
seated at the dinner table.
“Aud wonld you believe it,” con¬
cludes Diok, “all through dinner the
Nevadan k.-pt harping on the Barti aud
what a nice, respectable family of them
had settled in the State of Nevada.”
A Wonderful Stream of Water.
“There is no mau on earth,” says
Peck, “that can describe Silver Springs
so readers can form any idea of them.
The springs cover two or three acres,
and the water is from ten to fiftv feet
deep. The bottom is the most beautiful
white sand, and the water is the clearest
water in the world. It is so clear that
any object ou the bottom can be seen as
plainly as though one was only looking
through a sheet of the fiuest plate glass.
Yon cau never realize it until you see it.
Fifty feet down yon can see fish as
plainly as though in an aquarium, and
actually distinguish the separate scales
on the fish. The sun shining through
this water makes the most beautiful
colors, like diamonds. All the colors of
the rainbow can be seen, and where
there is grass on the bottom, as there is
in some places, it is of the purest green,
and the green blends with rainbow
colors until the beholder is perfectly
awe-struck, and cannot speak for fear < f
breaking tbe spell. It in hard to break
away from tbe scene, and one wishes he
conld stay for weeks. There are huge
catfish swimming aronnd, looking as
though they might lie a yard away, they
are so plain, bnt they may lie twenty
feet down. The springs form a river
which flows for eight miles before it
reaches the Okiawaha, and all of that
distance people stand on the decks of
the boat and gaze into that beautiful
water, and see the fish swimming around.
Here will be a school of catfish, black
and saucy, some weighing fifty ponnds,
there a school of a hundred garfish with
their long biks, playing about, paying
no attention to the steamer, bnt acting
as though they were on exhibition.
That eight miles is the moat fascinating
ride in the world. Tnose who visit
Florida and fail to take the Okiawaha
trip make tbe greatest mistake in tbe
world.”

At lacked by Weasels. -
THE REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OP
NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA FARMER.
Delos Lante, an Elk county
has been annoyed greatly this winter
weasels in his poultry yard and houses,
the bloodthirsty little animals
killed his fowls by the score, and
all efforts to entrap them. Ou
Mr. Lante was walking through a
field on his farm, and saw a weasel
into a big heap of stones piled loosely
the middle of the field. He had a
ing stick, and, going to the stone pile,
began to throw down stones to get at
the weasel or scare it out. Presently a
weasel jumped out and he struck at it
with his cane. It did not runaway, but
sprang at Lante’s throat—the spot a wea¬
sel instinctively tries to seize. The farm¬
er struok at it again, and hit it, but it
returned gamely to the attack, and,
whether in answer to a signal or not, the
farmer does not know, weasels began to
ovarm out of the stono pile on all sides,
and in a second were springing upon
Lante, climbing nimbly up his clothes,
trying to reach hiH face. They bit him
with their sharp teeth, and finding that
he wonld he unable to keep the savage
little blood-suckers from fastening their
teeth in his neck without help, he shook
them off as best he conld and started at
the Sop of his speed for home. Tho
weasels followed him until he scaled tho
fence. His hands were bleeding from a
dozen wounds, aud if he had remained
to fight the weasels they would undoubt¬
edly have overpowered and killed him.
In the afternoon Mr. Lante returned to
the stone pile with two men, two guns,
and a dog. They routed out tho wea
sels and killed thirty—a colony which
had been devastating the entire neigh¬
borhood for a year and more.
An Old Story Retold.
A person of inelegant Leisure,who hail
deservedly gained the Reputation of be
ing the Laziest man iu Town, became
such a Nuisance to his neighbors that
they determined to bury him unless he
would undertake to Do Something for
Himself. As he resolutely refused to
make an Effort, they placed him in a
coffin and bore him toward the Grave¬
yard at the Head of a iVooession. A
benevolent Farmer, unwilling to see A
FeiJow-Creature buried alive, stepped
the Procession and offered to give the
poor Unfortunate a Bushel of Corn if
he might be allowed to live. When this
generous offer was repeated to the would
be Corpse, be partly raised his Head
out of the Coffin and languidly inquired,
“Is it shelled?” The benevolent
Farmer was obliged to admit that it was
not shelled. “Then,” replied the Per¬
son of inelegant Leisure, “let the Fn
ueral go on.”
It is by sympathy we enter into the
ooncerns of others, that we are moved
as they are moved and ne ver suffered to
be indifferent spectators of almost any¬
thing that men cau do or suffer. For
sympathy may lie considered us a soil of
institution by which we are put into the
place of another man and affected in
many respects as he is affected.
A Way Custer Had.
Mrs. Caster iii speaking of her hus¬
band says: “From the first days of
our marriage Gen. Custer celebrated
every order to move with wild demon¬
strations of joy. His exuberance of
spirits always found expression in some
boyish pranks before he could set to
work seriously to prepare for duty. As
soon as the officer announcing the order
to move had disappeared all sorts of
wild hilarity began. I had learned to
take up a safe position on top of the
table; that is if I had not already been
forcibly placed there as a spectator.
The most disastrous result of the pro¬
ceedings was possibly a broken chair
which the master of ceremonies would
crash, and, perhaps, throw into the
kitchen by way of informing the cook
that good nows had come, We had so
few household tffects that it was some¬
thing of a loss when we chanced to bo
in a country where they could not be re¬
placed. I can see Elina’s woolly head
now, as she thrust it through the open
door to reprimand her master, and say
“chairs don’t grow on trees in these
yere parts, Gen’j.”
“As for me, I was tossed about the
room, and ail sorts of jokes were played
upon me before the frolic was ended.
After such participation in the celebra¬
tion I was almost too tired with the
laughter and fun to begin packing.”
Irrigation in Egypt.
Tho ancient wealth of Egypt has ever
been in its crop of corn. As surely as
tho seasons come round, so surely has
the Nile risen year by year. From the
earliest time the Valley of the Nile has
been divided by earthen embankments
into a succession of great flats, measur¬
ing occasionally as much as 100,000
acres. The rising flood is diverted by
a series of short canals into these flats,
where the water stands two or three feet
deep until it has soaked the soil and de¬
posited its rich alluvial mud. By this
time the Nile has subsided. The drying
mud is rudely plowed and sown, and
four or five months after the crop is
reaped. No rain has fallen on it, but
the soil has been sufficiently saturated
to require no further watering. A rich
crop is produced, but by this system
only one crop in the year, and during
the Summer months, when, from its
latitude and temperature, one might ex¬
pect Egypt to be yielding subtropical
fruits, the empty fields lie baked and
parched.
Completely Cured After Nineteen Years’
Agonizing Suffering.
The New York World says: The case
of Mrs. John Gemmill, a highly respected
lady of Milroy, Mifflin county, Pennsyl¬
vania, presents a striking example of suf¬
fering and marvelous cure. In the spring
of 1864 she was thrown from a wagon,
injuring her spine. She was a helpless
until cripple, unable to walk, from that time
the spring of 1883. She tried num¬
erous remedies, but found no relief
during fering. these nineteen years of acute suf¬
She remained in a partially
paralyzed eondiiion, until having provi¬
dentially seen the advertisement of St.
Jacobs Oil, the Conqueror of Pain, she
bought afflicted l wo bottles. The oil was applied
to the parts. Before the second
bottle was exhausted slio was able to
walk about, and has been completely
cured.
Pigeons in Egypt 1
Misa Sartorius, in her book on the
Soudan and Egypt, says : “Every vil¬
lage has its pigeon houses, looking like
great mud cones, and in the evening the
owners go out and call them in. But
when a man wants to get extra pigeons,
instead of calling them he frightens the
pigeons away. They do not understand
this, keep circling above, and swoop
down now and then toward their
houses. Other pigeons, seeing this
commotion, join them, and as soon as
the man sees there are enough he hides.
The whole of the birds, old and new,
tlieu go into the house, and the man re¬
turning shuts them in. This would be
a fine business if it were not that all of
them do tho same thing, and, therefore,
each gets caught in his turn. They
know this perfectly well, but no Egyp¬
tian fellah could resist the temptation
of cheating his neighbor.”
