AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OP INTEREST RKL\TIVK
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Raslicii ami Wrodi on tbeFarm.
It seems a very strange thing, say* a
correspondent of the Country Centlenun,
that our farmers should allow so many
bushes, sliruhs nnd Weed* growing nlong
the public highway! nnd in other con
sph uons place ion their farms. What a
had reflect it has on the appearance of a
man's faim ! So small an expense would
he required in removing them all. <an
it he that some farmers want their farms
to revert to wilds? They all the time re
ceive no pro.it from them, hut they have
to pay taxes on them. I cannot see why
it is that farmers sometimes increase the
a rcage of their 1 nd. They do not see
the extent of land which might, with
large profits, he brought under control,
and produce more on a small area with
less labor, and without extra taxes and
cost.
I nrmers nre careless, and try to do a
great deal without doing it well. If
they had only considered it in time they
would have h cm the first to exclaim
agnind the folly of refraining from do
ing a thing which could bo done so
easily, nnd which was of so much impor
tnn c.
AH will agree with me when I say
that i, the highway is simply mowed
every year dear up to the fence, no
we ds will grow up there ns a general
thing, hut grass, on the other hand,
will tnke their place, and cause as bene
ficial a supply-as any part of the farm.
Kveryonc knows too well for mo to ex
press it, Hint weeds and hushes cannot
live where they are regularly mowed
every year. Every one who has any sense
of propriety will be struck with the folly
of so mowing a field that when the cen
tral part is cut for harvest, a streak u ill
be left nlong the fence whi h is not
mowed. Lot me say to every farmer who
has not mown up to his fences fully this
year, or who has hushes nnd coarse
weeds growing nlong them, which are in
consequence of thut space not having
been mown in years back, to do so this
year; mow every one of those weeds
and btidii s, and do not fail to do this
every year, nnd in a few years ho will
have no hushes nlong his fence, and
every inch of liis farm will pay nnd look
better.
Farm and Garden Notes.
A New York State cow feeder says
that wheat-bran and middlings have
given him theb st results.
Ilye, if sown now, will grow, nnd ns it
is hardy, will furnish early green food
before the gras* makes its appearance in
the spring.
The natural lifo of sheep is shorter
than that of any other domestic animal,
l ive or six years is the limit of practical
usefulness, though valuable breeding
ewes may be kept one or two years longer
by careful treatment.
It is cheaper to clean out the poultry
house every day than to allow tho drop
pings to accumulate, for the reason that
it requires but a short time for the vola
tile elements of tho manure to escape.
What is saved by not frequently clean
ing the house, as labor, is lost iu tho do
preciation of tho droppings.
It is a singular fact that gypsum or 1
plaster of pm is is so little used. The 1
cheapest of ail mineral fertilizers, and
tho one be t adapted to clover, its use
rarely extends tar beyond tho locality
where it is dug and ground. There its
cheapness insures a large use by neigh
boring fanners, who find it very protit '
able.
A late cultivation of strawberries, with ’
the application of a bag of superphos
phate jut acre, scattered iu the rows 1
near tho roots of the plants, w 11 give \
good results next spring. All the run
nel a between tho rows should bo re- ,
moved, the grass kord awav between the
plants, nnd the ground made as clean ns
possible.
It is asserted that “a mixture of lime
in clay soil lias theelTcctof making thum
porous and friable; lienee, by su h treat
ment they are made more workable and |
are better titled for nourishing tho life ,
of plants Clays that harden into solid j
lumps alter a shower of rain nro little
better than reeks, iu so far ns the food ,
of plants is concerned.”
Most cellars in early winter will be de- ,
cidedly benefited by thorough ventila- ,
tion. The air is usually too warm at 1
this seas n, and ventilating on col I dn\ s (
to lower the temperature will not only (
remove the foul air. but will :,!so to .
some extent prevent the decay of vege
tables which causes it. With a thermo l
meter in tho cellar it is easy to decide t
wln n the a;r appr aches a freezing point, t
and after this the ventilation may be re t
stricted to warm dais in winter when no |
danger of fio-t need be appreh nded. i
It is not wise to put leaves for pro tec- '
tion thickly o'er plants. They hold (
moisture, nnd rot instcalof protect, and t
often breed mildew, which is as bid as t
cold. 1: is bright light, together with t
frost, that injures plants, and enough i
lca'cs to shade is all that is required. 1
This is why evergreens such as rho
dodendrons and ka mia- -utTerso much
in winter. Something to keep off tho sun '
ia as beneficial as .something to keep otf
the frost. For this reason tho ground is !
itself a good protector. Many tender '
fruits can he taken cate of by bendiug
the branches and covering with earth.
Ri ots want ni: as well as water, and
the soil should be s inewhat open iu
order to permit air to circulate through
it. Whin the earth docs not dry up
rapidly something is wrong. It is no J
uncommon sight to see benches of roses,
carnations and other things completely j
sodden, and the plants then die from
root fungus When fungus does appear,
sulphur exposed t • the hot sun's rays, is ]
among the best remedies. The above .
remarks have in view mainly the culture J
of flowers in benches, as practiced in
florins' greenhouses Hut similar in
struction' are needed for the smaller j
grower.
Professor Shelton has found that in j
feeding cooked eorn and raw corn to pigs
the advantage "as decidedly with the "
latter In an experiment which he made i
th- corn was cooked by steam ill a barrel, (
to w:u h a pii e was run from theb i!ei j
It w.ih so thoroughly acted upon by the
he it that each gtain could be easily
crushed Intw on live thumb and fingers
During the coide t weather the cooked
corn froze in the troughs, often before |
i the pigs could eat. Every detail of
the experiment go«; to confirm the opin
ion that nothing is gained by cooking
• I the food; that tin; trouble and expense
are given for nothing.
“Soldaderav”
There is one useful regulation in the
, Mexic in army which is unknown to the
United .state*; to each regiment is at-
I taehed a ccitain number of soldaderas—
, women who live in the barracks and ac
’ company the soldiers on much, or even
L into battle. The e women must not lie
i confounded with the ordinary camp fol
lowers, for they are regularly enrolled,
being paid by the Government. Their
. duties are to wash and mend clothes, at
tend to the sick, nnd wh.lc in act .on to
help the surgeons take care of the
wounded nnd give water to the thirsty.
Every sold.,dera must boa respectable,
married woman, and be attache ! to the
regiment to wnich her husband belongs.
It is the duty of the superior officers to
seo that th ss women are treated with
proper respect.
During Maximilian s usurpation, when
Juarez, liis Cabinet Ministers and a few
faithful adheients had been obliged to
llv from the capital, the fugitives one
day halted in a clearing at the edge of a
forest. President Juarez was reclining
on a fallen log and Ins Ministers tv ated
on the grass before him. Tho Captain
of his meager body guard had first sent
otf the four soldadcrns to forage for din
ner, because provisions were scarce, and
then, posting his men in proper posi
tions, he stood ns sentinel at a proper
distance from the statesmen who were in
the act of holding council, fine of the
Ministers -the poet-politician, Don Guil
lermo Prieto was in tho act of expres
sing his opinion relative to a certain
measure which had been proposed when
the solemn conclave was interrupted by
shouts of laughter, mingled with deep
toned oaths expressed in very good
French and exceedingly ba I Spanish
All started to their feet, and the cap
tain of the guard, summoning his men,
ha-tily entered tho forest whence tho
sounds proceeded. There were some
moments of painful suspense, and then
the four soldadcrns apje and carrying
head and heels a French spy or ni 'S
seuger, whoso arms nn I legs the) had
securely pinioned with their bosas - long
cotton scarfs which are w orn by nil li.o
women of the lower classes here. They
laid their prisoner before the Ihcsident.;
then tho elder soldiidcrn said respect
fully: “Excellency, this man, not know
ing we were soldadcrns (theso women
wear no uniform i, but supposing vis to
be aldcanas. approached nnd asked us so
many questions about you and your
honorable ministers that we at once stis
| i cted him to be a spy, especially us lie
speaks just like the wicked men who
have invaded our country; so instead of
foraging for your dinner w • just caught
the man and brought hint to you, be
cause he tnny have m his pockets papers
that your Excellency would lather have
than a fat turkey or even ayo ing pig.”
Tho surmises of the soldadcrns proved
correct. Tho French bearer of ds
patches, who traveled alone in order to
avoid suspicion, was en route to ane glt
boring fortress, bearing to its command
ant.the. intelligence that llenito Juarez,
accompanied by a few adherents and
“an insiirniticant body guard,” was try
ing to make his way to Paso del Norte.
The order read : “He on the /ot rit for
the rebels; if you capture them shoot all
immediately.” - Chi-uyo lit raid.
An Egg Swindle.
Home fellow went through Logan
County selling Pottawatomie chicken
eggs at a dozen, giv.ng each buyi r a
written agreement to come around later
amt purchase all the chickens hatched
from them at T* each as soon as t'*.cy
reached tho ago of six weeks. He dis
posed of enormous quantities of eggs at
this price, and the farmers’ wives and
daughters set every moth rly inclined
lieu on the premises in oyful anticipa
tion of new dresses and loves of bonnets
and other things bo hear to the female
heart.
The obedient hens went to work with
a will and incubated th • allotted twenty
one days. Then plump nnd tender
hands with taper lingers gently lifted up
the clu king mothers in expo tnney to
look at the beaut i til $> “cli epers.”
Ent they had not broken through tho
shell. Then it wa- considered ti nt it i
took longer to hatch a $ i chicken than I
otic of the i-eeut kind twenty-eight 1
davs, for instance, as in the case of tins
Thanksgiving turkey. Four weeks
slipped by ami they earn • not. Os
cour-e, such valuable few s. like the
goose or swan, advanced slowly and re
quired a full month of thirty-one days to
hatch. And still they came not. l.ike
tin; night haunting owl, or the eagle of
tho cltlL they deterred their arrival for
forty-two day Ii the meantime the
hens sat on. like Pa ienco on a monu
ment, hoping for the best, until six
weeks wore away. Then an egg was
carevully broken, ill it was dNeovercd
that the agent of the Pottawattamie
t hieken Company could have salely con
tracted to pay $;iOO each for all ihc
clii. kens hatch d Every egg was hard
boiled.— Cin.-i'tu-Ci AV ir,,-.

Friday has long been regarded a> a day
of. evil omen, lint it has been, to say the
least, an eventful one in American his
tory.

Character In Handwriting.
There are people who claim to read
men's characters from their writing. As
the writing of every nation is distinguish
ed by certain strong national peculiari
ties, it is easy for an expert to decide to
what nation a writer belongs. Having
rettled that, certain characteristics which
I are common to all men, but in different
j degrees, can be seen in every handwrit
ing. A certain number of men are calm,
even-lived, sensible and practical. Men
of that < lass are almost certain to write
plain, round hands, in which every letter
is distinctly legible; neither very much
slanted forward, nor tilted backward;
no 1 tter very much bigger than its
neighbor, nor with heads much above
or tails much below the letters not so
distinguished; the letters all having
about the same general uprightness, and
the lines true to the edges of the paper, :
neither tending upward nor downward.
Exact, business-like people will have an
exact handwriting. Fantastic minds
revel in squirks and streamers, particu
larly for the capital letters, and this
quality is not infrequent in certain busi
ness hands, as if the writers found a re
lief from the prosaic nature of their
work in giving flourishes to tertain let
ters. F'irm, decided, downright men are
apt to bear on the pen while writing,
ari l to make their strokes hard and
thick. On the contrary, people who arc
not sure of themselves, and are lacking
in self control, press unevenly, and with
anxious looking, scratchy hands. Am
bitious pcopl are apt to be overworked ;
they arc always in haste and either for
got to cross their t’s. or dot their i’s.
They arc apt to run the last few letters
of every word into an illegible scrawl.
Flurried, troubled, nnd conscience
twinged persons have a crabbed and un
even bandwriting.— St. Kicftola* for Oc,
lober.

rather than curative.
I. Malar a (live the patient complete
rest, change of scene, and, if possible,
foreign travel, until the arrival of com
petent medical aid.
.’5. Poisons —Place the sufferer in an
easy po-ition—the position of register is
about as easy a one as yon can find—then
send for a lawyer for the purpose of
drawing up his will.
<;. Mumps Inform the sick man that
he is t<»> cheeky. This puts him in that
chce: fill frame of mind that is always in
dispensable to iccovery.
