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,,-.

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. First Aid to tho Injured. 1.
