■farm and FACTS FOR FARMERS. To cure scab in sheep, rub it with plain petroleum with a sponge three times a week. Dogs can be cured of mange in the same way. In saving seed always select the earliest, fairest and best specimens. What pays better on the farm, con sidering the cost, than poultry ? And yet what little attention is paid to their feeding, breeding and being housed? To protect Wheat in boxes from weavils thoroughly fumigate I Im boxes with burning sulphur. This should be done before the grain is put in I la boxes and repeated in the course of a month or so after the grain is stored. Cows deprived of a sufficient suppl y of water fail in milk and flesh, and when they are allowed to fail, it is impossible to bring them back to their proper yield of milk and condition of flesh, at least without extra trouble. Soft soap is excellent for cleansing fruit trees of insects. Apply the soap to the tree, trunk and branches. To remedy cabbage worms, make a strong solution of lime water pour it over the cabbage in the evening: if the lime water is made strong there will be no live worms left that the water touches. These short rules for action in case of accident are good : For dust in the. eyes, avoid rubbing, and dash water in them. Remove cinders, etc., with the point of a pencil. Remove insects from the car by tepid water'; never put a hard instru ment into the ear. If any artery gets cut, compress above the wound ; if a vein gets cut, compress below. If choked, get upon all fours and cough. For light burns, dip the part in cold water; if the skin is destroyed, cover with varnish. Smother a fire with carpets, etc.: water .will often spread burning oil and increase the danger. Before passing through smoke take a full breath and stoop low. Suck poison wounds, unless your mouth is sore; enlarge, the wound, or better, cut the wound out without delay. In case of poisoning, excite vomit ing by tickling the throat or by hot water or mustard. In case of opium poison give strong '■ofl'ee. and keep moving. If in the water noar. on me ntn.w. with the mouth and nose projecting. For apoplexy raise the head and body. For fainting, lay the body Hat. » • -- Washing flannel ami woollen goods use borax, a large teaspoonful in a pint of water; piit some of this into th<> warm water in which the flannel is to be washed; put in no more than one piece at a time, ami use a little soap, if necessary. From time to time add some more of the borax solution; rinse every piece in warm water, shake it well and hang it up where it can dry quickly. It is best to wash flannels only when the air is dry. Sonic advise the adding of a little salt to the water in which they are rinsed the last time, ami to use water just as hot as for cotton ma’.e rial, when it is claimed they will not shrink, and always remain white. —■ ♦ ■*»-- If farmers will look after their hogs, feed them, give them water, a shelter to get under in bad weather and will not neglect them, they are apt to keep healthy. The simplest, remedies to keep off disease are the best. Salt and charcoal arc excellent for pS -s. These animals are often alfeeted with indigestion, and the above is a good remedy. Mix salt ami charcoal in a box aceci-sible to pigs and they eat what they require. Sulphur is g< d for bogs, is a purifier of their blood and helps them to get rid of the ver min which infest their bodies inside and out-. Industry, enterprise and intelligent observation is what makes the good farmer. Such a man uses every me:i'..s in his power to keep his land fertile by dean cultivation, rotation of crops and the application of such manures as may be adapted to the special wants of the crops be cultivates. A good soil rarely fails, even in a poor season, of returning a paying in come for the labgr expended upon it in the*cultivation of any crop adapted to it. A rich, well cultivated soil will usually make fair returns in what we call bad or unfavorable seasons. Poor soils seldom have good seasons. Farmers should be content to sell their products at a reasonable profit. To wait for very large prices is some times dangerous, os there are risks from rogues and tires, injuries by ver inin and weather, the trouble and ex pense of storage, and the reduction of shrinkage and incidental waste. NEW COTTON INDUSTRY. The Louisville Courier-Journal ex pands over a new era about to open to the cotton growing interest through two late inventions—one for picking, the other for ginning and spinning cotton—as it is brought in from the field. These will dispense with living pickers and ginners, and balers, and with bagging and ties. The thread they produce—from a long fibre un impaired by the sharp teeth of the gin saw, undried by sun exposure, un macerated by pressing and compress ing, and saturated with the vegetable oil from the seed—we are assured will be incomparably smaller and stronger than factory yarn, either English or American, and must super cede the latter. The ircreased facili ties for gathering the crop furnished by the mechanical cotton-picker re moves the grand obstacle to an in definite increase. With the mechani cal appliances, which the Courier- Journal is confident have been secur ed, “the Northern States,” it savs, “should they desire, may remove the great bulk of the negro population without serious prejudice to an indefi nite expansion <-f the cotton indus try ; and cotton shipp<<] in the form of thread will have double the market value of the raw lint.” A little boy was told I y bis grand mother to turn down a leaf in the family Bible every lime lie told a lie. At the end of a week the old lady asked him how many lies he had told during the seven days. He silently handed her the holy book. She turned over page after page, ami at length said angrily: “Why, you little brat, you’ve lied till the way from Genesis to R volutions, and halfway through the Psalms.” ‘Young man,’ said the stern old professor to a student who had been charged with ki- sing one - f his pretty daughters, ‘young man, don't get into that habit. You’ll find that kissing is like eating soup with a fork." ‘How so, sir?’ asked the student. ‘Because,’ answered the professor, ‘you can’t get enough of it.’ - ♦ M- ‘Now-. Mr. Robinson,’ said a young city visitor to the kind-hearted farmer ■won’t you show us vonr watermelon orchard?’ ‘1 haven’t a watermelon tree on the place this year, ma'am— they' were all winter-killed.’ and his questioner wondered why he smiled so pleasantly as he answered her. \ little girl, while out for her after noon walk, saw a poinpti.s-tooking man strutting down the street. B ith child-like simplicity the little thing ran up to him. touching him lightly on the arm and said: “Excuse me. sir, but are you anybody in particu lar?” Says an exchange: We oppose woman’s rights, and we have a good reason for it, too. If women were running for the Legislature, and our Ihndlady should be elected. we are afraid that her first bill presented would be our board bill. * ♦♦ - —— The small boy is beginning to save np his nickles for Christmas, and will probably have enough change by that lime to buy sufficient powder to singe bis eyebrows oil', ‘or send one of his thumbs to the sweet bve and bye. ► ♦ This is the season of the year when the night air is very dangerous, but the girls face death at tin front gates with the same heroism which has always been one of the chit fest adorn ments of the sex. + -0 “Never leave what you undertake until you can reach your arms around it and clinch your bauds on the other side.” says a recently published book lor young men. \ cry ood advice but what if she screams? Things nre not exact’y right. A careful political economist, closelv calculates that, women in this coutlirv might annually save sl-t.'>oo,ooo in ribbons which the men might spend in cigars. Many a seemingly prosperous busi ness man has come down w ith a eras;-., I because patrons were not. required to come down with the cash. Courtship is emigration, going into everlasting bliss. Matrimony is im migration, coming to never-ending woe. ► -« When a spinster remarked that old bachelors should lie lined, one of that 1 sort replied, ’yes. luxuries should be taxed? There is no disgrace in being poor— the thing is to keep it quiet and not let your 'neighbors know anything about it. Husbands never meet their wives with ‘smiles' on their lips ; they wipe them otf before they get home. What a beautiful thing is a rosy i cheek! llow great is the contrast 1 when the blush settles on the nose. 11 J. fflMf 1 "iil, KEEPS A SPLENDID AND WELL SELECTED STOCK OP BryGoo READYMADE CLGTHTHG, I Soot x, Klioi's, .5 Tm t rs.
