Hints on Irty Making.
An old farmer says -nlv that
'•before it i- wilted c \on a heavy*
drenching n. n, wi i i >i hurt the
grass. \Ye ail know t! at this is the
ca-c while the grass or clover is
growing. If you dip a freshly
plucked clover 1/os <>m in water,
it is still sweet, but a dried clover
blossom will soon lose its sugar in
water. The growing or fresh blos¬
som is covered with a thin eAat of
varnish which sheds the lain or
water, but when the grass is partly
or wholly dmed, this coat of v?lr
ul.sb cracks, nnd admits Die water.
This is one of the most important
points in hay mak’ng.
A shower while the grass is
growing docs not hurt it in the least
and after it is cut, ns long as it rc
mains fresh and full of sap* rain
will not dissolve out the sugar, and
other soluble matter. It is for this
reason that some ° crcod farmers
commence to cut gra.*s in the aftcr
'
Slid , keep , Oil CUttlllg as long ,
as they can sec. During the night
dew or rain will not injure this
fresh grass, while had it been cut
earl}' in the morning and exposed
to tho but sun, the same amount of
dew or rain would have done more
or less damage. There is ’another
reason for cutting in tho late after¬
noon and evening rather than in
the morning. During the day an
a<#o of grass evaporates several
thousand gallons of'water. On a
bright, sunshiny day, the leaves
evaporate water faster than the
roots can pump it up out of the soil
but during the night evaporation
partially ceases, and as tho roots
keep pumping up tho tfatcr, the
plants contain much more water in
tho morning than in tho evening.
Another point to bo observed in
making, hay is this': AYate” that is
inside tho plant is far less
limit water outside the plant. Tire
reason for this is, that the sap con
(aiiis sugar and ether soluble mat¬
ter, while the water on the outside
of the plant does not. Hence j
follows tl at after hay has been ex¬
posed to rain or dew ?t ; -•■ moscsm’-^

near the open window, were un¬

said:

“Whero arc you going, Bob? ’
“To mind sister’s children for her
to go to preaching.”
“No, go with ’ me. AY hat does
she want to go to preaching for?
“I don’t know. Pa and ma are
going, too, and they'll catch it for
not taking all us children.”
“Did that preacher go to your
house josterday?”
“No; did I 10 go to your house,
Bob ?”
“Yes ? ’
“What did he want?”
“He wanted us all to goto Sun¬
day-school.
“Are you-goinp- ?”
“No.”
And looking down at his neatly
patched clothes and bare feet, he
said :
“Till, if I were to go there in
tjiis fix he would not speak to me.
And all of them fine-dressed folks
lhat never had their house burnt,
nor no bid luck, would make fun
of me. Pa says if he ever gets able

Yarn* About Slot Trains. .
“1 want to go to bed, so give me
a room as soon as you can. I
ought to have reached tho city
ly this afternoon, and here it is 11
o’clock. ’
“What made you so late ?” asked
a Girard House clerk, as he threw
down a key to which was attached
a rough^dge brass tag about the
size of a buckwheat cake.
“Oh, slow trains! slow trains!
They seemed to stop everywhere
and at all the little cross roads.”
“That’s queer.”
“1 should say it was. Why. at
one place they stopped about seven
minutes, while a half dozen people
came out of tho only house to be
seen in tho neighborhood and
boarded the train. Did you ever
hear anything like it ?”
“Never.”
“I have,” said a little old man
with long, shaggy hair, who had
overheard tho conversation while
searching the Philadelphia direc¬
tory for the namo of a Boston
firm. *
•
**You have ?”
'•Yes; you may not believe it,
but it’s a fact. Several years a«go I
used to travel a good deal on the
Old Colony railroad, up in Massa¬
chusetts. There was a place called
Wheat Sheaf Lane, where tho train
stopped nearly every day for an
old woman, who was al ways there
to send somo eggs into town. Now,
would you believe it? One day the
train stopped as usual for Aunt
Betsy, who was there with her eggs
but she only had clcyen. She said
that an old hen \*as still on her
nest, and she wanted tho train to
wait until she could make up the
dozen.”
“Yes.”
“Wei!, J’ll be darned if that train
didn’t wait whilo tho hen laid the
extra egg.”
Tho Into arrival said ho gucssdd
he would go to bed, tho bedfamon
ed hotel clerk swooned, arid tho
little old man walked down tho
corridor and dropped wearily into
a chair.—Philadelphia American.

Rules for Butter Making.
1. To make butter the milk
from healthy cows should be used.
2. Avoid excitement of the cows
produced by chasing with dogs or
any other manner. Harsh treat¬
ment lessens the quantity and in¬
jures the quality of inilk.
3. Cows should have abundance
of suitable food and pure ivatcr,
and salt kept whero they can have
access to it every day.
4. Cows should bo kept free
from ail foul odors, and not bo al
low’ed to eat or drink anything that
will give taint to the milk.
5. Milking should bo done at
regular hours, with clean hands,
clean udders, and clear, stables, and
the milk kept away from any con¬
taminating odors.
6. Milk should be strained im
mediately after being drawn, arid
Qciutcd to eliminate unj r objection
able odors; this done the milk will
make more and bettor butter.
7. 3Iilk vessels should bo thor
oughly cleansed, scalded with boil
ing water ahd aired, to keep them
perfectly sweet.—Ex.

A conversation between two la**
dies when they think no horrid
man is listening to them, is always
just as interesting ao it is unintolli
giblc to tho “mean things.”
Yesterday evening I chanced to
step quietly aboard ono^of the gen
dolus on the Peachtree line, com
ing in from Ponce DcLoon, and
just as quietly took a scat behind
two of tho handsomest girls in At¬
lanta, who were so busily engaged
in conversation that they wero ob
livious to tho outside world.
As near as I can get at what they
said it was about as follows
»
“Oh, say, Nell, ho is just too
sweet for anything ! Yes, i am go¬
ing to have it lined with old gold
