Sonar of the Scythe.
Mowers, weary and brown and blithe,
What is the word methinlcs yo know,
Endless over-word that tue scythe
Sings to the blades of the grass below?
Scythes that swing in the grass and clover,
Something, still, they say as they pass—
What is the word that, over qnci over,
Sings the scythe to the flowers and grass?
Hush, ah hush, thj> scythes are saying,
Hush and heed not and fall asleep;
Hush they say to the grasses swayii^f,
Hush., they sing to the'clover deep!
Hush, ’tis the lullaby time is singing—
Hush and heed not, for all things pass.
Hush, ah hush, and the scythes are swinging
Over the clover, over the grass!
—Andrew Lang.
Throe-Horse Evenor.
It is contrary to all law-s of dynamics
that three horses can be attached abreast
to a plow so that the off horse may walk
in the furrow and two upon the land
and yet draw the plow without any side
draft. Forces always act in equilibrium,
and when three horses pull abreast the
line of draft comes in the centre of the
middle horse's whiffletree, and no ar
rangement of clevises or whiffletrees or
evener or offset in the plow beam can
alter the primary law of forces. It is
quite as easy in practice to drive three
horses with one leader as to drive three
abreast, and it is quite as easy to turn,
and in this way there is no necessity for
a horse to walk on the plowed land.—

Tanning Fur Skin»,
To ten small fur skins soften the skin
by soaking it in fvarrn water for an hour,
then scrape off the fleshy substance and
dissolve half an ounce each of borax,
saltpetre and glauber salts to a paste and
spread with a brush on the flesh side of
the skin. Double the skin together,
with the flesh side in, and keep in a cool,
not freezing, place for twenty-four hours.
Then wash clean and take salsoda, 1
ounce; borax, 4 ounce; relined soap, 2
ounces, and melt them slowly together,
without boiling, and apply to the flesh
side at first, and keep in a warm place for
twenty-four hours. After this w’ash
clean and dissolve 2 ounces of saleratus,
4 ounces of alum and 8 ounces of salt in
hot rain w T ater suflicient to saturate and
soak the skin. When cool enough not to
scald put the skin in for twelve hours,
then wring out the water and hang up to
dry. Repeat the soaking and drying
until the skin is as soft as derfired.

Feeding Pigs. ,
Professor Hunt, of IllinoTs College
farm, sums up as follows the results of
his pig feeding experiments;
1. It required i .80 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork when
fed with cornmeal in ratio 1.17 to fatten
ing hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be economi
cally fed to fattening hogs unless it was
a waste product which could not be
otherwise utilized.
8. It required on an average -impounds
of shelled corn to produce one pound of
pork during an average period of four
weeks, or one bushel produced
pounds.
4. It required pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound of pork, or
one bushel of corn made into meal aud
fed dry produced 2; pounds of pork.
5. When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to
fattening hogs.
6. It required 7jr pounds or J bushel
of ground oats to produce one pound of
pork when fed with equal parts by
weight of corn meal.
7. One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for faiteu
ing hogs.
8. Corn fed pigs gained about 4-J
pounds per week and ate about twenty
one pounds of corn per 100 pounds of
live weight.
9. The grain for the amount of food
consumed decreased during fattening.
10. Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at twenty eight cents
a bushel, for less than three cents per
pound.
11. An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused a \ ery considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
12. Indian corn is the most economical
pork producer during the winter
months in regions where extensively
grown.
Cur ini Meats.
The late Wm. Little several years ago
gave the tollowing methods for curing
meat and building a cheap smokehouse.
As “hog killing” season is at hand we
reproduce them for the benefit of our
new subscribers. We would be pleased
to have others give their methods of cur
ing meat and plans for building smok
houses:
1 o each hog packed add to the salt
one-fourth pound ground black pepper,
two ounces red cayenne pepper and one
half ounce saltpeter. Spread the salt on
a tight floor or table, sprinkle the black
and red pepper and saltpeter over it and
mix thoroughly. Salt the pork on the
floor in the smokehouse, so that the
biine will run away from it. Sprinkle
enough salt on the floor to hide it well,
and salt the hams and shoulders to them
selves and the sides to themselves. Let
the meat lie in salt four or five weeks,
hang up and build a little fire—a blaze
is best —under the bacon to dry it off.
The pepper gives the bacon a fine
flavor, and repels the fly. It is a good
plan to slip the joints—hams and shoul
ders—in sacks, paper or cotton, early in
the spring. This method for making
fine bacon is good for all parts of the
country, north and south, and simple as
it is, it is worth thousands of dollars to
the people of Texas alone, if they will
only adopt it.
Now for the smokehouse. For the
average farmer a house 12 by 14 feet and
10 feet high, is large enough. Build a
common box house, lay a floor 18 to 24
inches above ground, with a square-edged
plank; strip the cracks inside and out,
so as to exclude light; put stiff cross
timbers 3 or 4 feet apart on p'ates above,
and drive tenpenny fence nails on each
side to hang meat on, and the thing is
done. All rough lumber. Texas Farm
and Ranch.
Stock in Open Winters.
It appears to be a matter of gratula
tion among farmers that the winter is so
mild that stock will shift for themselves,
at least partially, and thus affect a great
savin >■ of fodder. The mild winter, we
confers, is a cause for general congratu
latlon, not only among farmers but
among all classes, as it undoubtedly
allects a great saving of fuel and of
food for man and beast and is less trying
to the physical system. Man and ani
mals are more nearly in harmony
with their environments with the ther
mometer ranging from 20 degrees to
40 degrees above than when there are
sudden fluctuations from 40 degrees
above to 20 degrees below zero. It is
pretty difficult adjusting food, clothing
and artificial heat so as to prevent a
shock or injury to the physical and
nervous systems during such violent
fluctuations.
But there is great danger of stock
suffering from neglect in a mild, open
winter. From the fact that they can
partially help themselves in such a winter
may lead a good many to give less atten
tion to feeding, sheltering and caring
for them than is demanded to promote
their welfare. They have not so hearty
an appetite for coarse feed as they have
when the air is sharp and the microbes
are stiffened by the cold. Hence, they
need a little more pampering, a little
more preparation of appetizing food.
Our observation has taught us that
stock seldom do well in a mild open
winter as in a pretty steadily cold one.
Too many farmers practice the doubtful
economy of getting through the winter
with as little feed as possible instead of
the true one of feeding stock all the
food they can possibly eat, digest, as
similate and convert into energy, meat,
milk, wool, eggs, etc., without detri
ment to their health. If stock food is
more valuable in its crude state than
when manufactured into animate and
their products, why not sell it in that
form and dispose of your stock for what
they will bring, but if the value of the
feed is enhanced by converting it into
animals and animal products, then the
more you can thus convert the better.
It is one of the most foolish, unreason
able practices ever resorted to by farm
ers to allow their stock to become spring
poor. It is almost impossible to'make
any money out of stock by such meth
ods. Better borrow money if necessary
and buy feed to Keep your animals
thriving all winter than to allow them
to shrink in flesh, run down in winter,
under the mistaken notion that they will
recover lost grounds when they ara
turned out to lresh pasture. —American
Rural Home.
Fartn and Garden Notes.
Decide about growing more fruit.
Resolve upon genuine rural reform.
Mature plans for the spring campaign.
Six tons of ensilage will keep a cow
six months.
A very large orchard requires a large
capital to run it.
The yellow races of bees are shortei
lived than the dark races.
Tb® period of cheapest growth in an
animal is before the, animal matures.
A frequent change of diet is necesitiry
to the health and best growth of the pig.
A hive cursed with a fertile workei
will not raise a queen; break up the
colony.
Ventilation should exist in well-regu
lated stables, but draughts should be
unknown.
A cow fed partly on ensilage will be
healthier and maite more butter than
when fed on dry feed.
Inferior honey should not be put upon
the market, but fed to the bees in small
quantities in spring and fall.
■The Carniolan race of bees possess
some traits superior to Italian bees, but
are not on the whole superior.
After washing a horse’s feet and legs
they should be thoroughly dried, other
wise cracked heels, etc., are invited.
After any colony swarms examine the
hive and cut out every queen cell but
one, which will prevent after swarming.
Much loss from what is commonly
known as cholera may be avoided by
care and a mixed diet, or a change cf
diet.
A wrench and one or two tools for
making repairs are easily carried in the
farm wagon and come very handy at
times.
tmall potatoes boiled and mixed into
the warm mash given in morning will
help poultry along through the next two
mouths.
The Colorado beetle can be destroyed
and much after trouble prevented by
scrattering over the newly planted
ground slices of potatoes sprinkled with
Paris green. A good plan in a small
way.
It is better to expend a sufficiency of
money to make the dwelling frost proof
than put by so much of your time in pre
paring fuel. The average Northern
home is not constructed more than one
half as warm as it should be.
Do not feed the newly hatched chicks
for thirty-six hours after they come from
the shell. If not fed forty-eight hours it
will do no harm. Give them time to rest
and get strong. Nature provides them
with food before they hatch out.
The sheep shed should be open on the
south side to admit the sunlight and to
allow of the escape of the effluvia from
the manure under them, but it should be
protected by a board fence high enough
to shelter them from the wind when lying
down.
Sawdust is one of the various sub
stitutes for straw as bedding. As it
does not make so warm a bed as straw, a
correspondent of Rural Rome suggests
using it as an under-bed, with straw or
leaves above. The straw or leaves so
used last much longer, and the air of the
stable is kept purer by the greater ab
sorbent power of the sawdust under
neath.
Ways recommended to make artificial
swarms: Select a swarm of the best
strains of bees in spring ; work up to the
swarming point aud take the queen
away. When queen cells are about to
hatch, form nucleus colonies and place
one of the queen cells with it, and after
ward build up from other strong col
onies. Another way is to divide a col
ony and give the queeulesa portion a
laying qpeen.
Hotbeds should be well aired by rais
ing the sash on warm days, but they
should be well covered aud protected at
night. The temperature can be kept to
within a few degrees of the point re
quired by keening a close watch and giv
ing care to the hotbeds. Fresh horse
manure is best to use for creating the
warmth. It is not too soon to make th«
frames and have everything ready for be*
j ginning the hotbeds.
A POINTER.
As every reader of this paper knows, It lias be
come one of the fine arts to write attractive and
interesting advertisements—especially medical
one*.
Now it seems to ns that if, for instance, the
world-wide advertisers of Warner’s Safe Reme
dies would adopt a style whereby they conld
work in a star; ling story of, say—wolves, we be
lieve .the jmmense sales of their medicines could
be still more largely increased. We give them
the benefit of the idea at any event. Let us
commence like this:
Patter! Patter! Patter!
There it is aga n. It is not fifty yards from
where he last halted. The steps aro too light
for those of an Indian. A grizzly would rush
upon its victim with a roar of defiance and an
ger. A panther would hurl himself through
thirty feet of space, with a scream to unnerve
the hardiest hunter. “Wolves,” whispers the
him er, as a howl suddenly bursts upon hiaear.
Wolves ! the gaunt grizzly wolves of the foot
hills—thin and poor and hungry and savage—
tho legs tireless—the mouth fu.l of teeth which
crack the should r-bone of a buffalo. He
can can see their dark forms Hitting from-point
to point—the patter of their feet upon the
parched gra-s proves that he is surround
ed—yet no more in danger and no
more effectually surrounded than he who
trifles wiih tho svmptoms of kidney disease.
And you, reader, know whether you are a victim
1 1 its insidious encroachment. If your back
aches, if your eyesight is failing, if your ap
petite is fickle, if your mine is not clear and of a
p lie straw color, do not hesitate on tho prairie
of danger, but flee to the nearest haven of safe
ty, and resort to the only known cure for kidney
and liver troubles, Warner’s Safe Cure. It is a
duty you owe, not only to yourself, but to your
family and society at large.
Delays are dangerous.
Had the traveler not been overtaken in the
night, and unarmed, the wolves would have had
no terrors for him. We warn you just now, in
broad daylight, before the wolves of disease
sink their poisoned fangs deeply into your flesh
and the night of death settles down upon you,
to stop your ears to prejudice and bigotry, and
to fly to safety through the means we have
pointed out.
A Real Hero.
In all his service to the Confederacy,
Capt. Dawson, of the News and Courier
Charleston, S. C., so recently murdered
by Dr. McDow, distinguished himself by
his bravery and devotion to duty, how
ever arduous and severe. In the camp
and on the tented field he was genial
and companionable, and in the line he
was always at Ins post. lie had no prop
erty interests at stake; he was not fight
ing lor his own country, his native laud;
lie was doing his duty as a liberty-loving
English citizen, fighting for a cause he
thought to be just, and* for which he
was ready to sacrifice his life. His un
selfish love of the Southern cause, and
noble conduct in ihe face of his foe, en
titles him to the most unqualified praise.
Capt. Dawson was one of the men who
“went into the War and stayed there.”
He took part in the following battles:
Meclianicsville, Second Manasses, Fred
ericksburg, Gettysburg, Chattanooga,
Knoxville, Wilderness, Spottsylvania C.
H., North side James River, 1864 j Valley
of Virginia, 18(54; Five Forks. He was
wounded at Meclianicsville, June 26,
1862; at Harrisonburg, Va., 1864; at
Five Forks, March 31, 1865. He was
taken prisoner of war near Williamsport,
Va., on September 14, 1862, and released
on parole in October, 1862. He surren
dered at the close of the War, and was
paroled in May,- 1865. A more gallant
exhibit it would be hard to make up.
Such men live in history. In order to
show what estimate was placed upon
Capt. Dawson by the Confederate gene
rals, it may not be out of place to refer
to certain letters of recommendation
given to him when he made application
for admission into the Charleston “Sur
vivors’ Association,” in 1869. These
letters are signed by Commodore Pe
gram, Gens. Longstreet, R. H. Ander
son and Fitzhugh Lee, and all agree in
saying that “he xfas a brave soldier and
an efficient officer.”
New Election Laws.
A bill completely changing the election
laws of Arkansas has passed the Senate
of that state, and is pretty certain to
pass the House and become a law. It
creates a board of election commissioners,
composing the governor, auditor and
secretary of state, who are empowered to
select three commissioners in each coun
ty, who, in turn, select judges of election
in each township or precinct. Hereto
fore, the county judge has appointed elec
tion judges. The polls will be open
form BA. M. until sundown. A poll-tax
receipt is made a primary qualification
for an otherwise legal voter. Voting is
to be by secret b illot, and no one is to
be allowed in the room where the elec
tion is being held except the judges,
clerks and sheriff. As soon as the polls
close the judges are to count the votes,
and they are not to separate or to remove
the box until the count is made. The
penalty prescribed for stealing a ballot
box is imprisonment in State prison for
not less than five nor more than fifteen
years. The election judge who shall
surrender any duplicate poll book show
ing the list of poll-tax voters within one
year from a general election is subject
to a fine of SSOO.
Rather Small.
When the Inaugural Committee at
Washington, D. C., made arrangements
for the parade, it was found necessary to
construct a temporary telegraph station
just at the top of Capitol Hill. As no
better place could be found, the commit
tee located the signal house, about 10 by
10, on the little strip of lawn in front of
the big stone house which Gen. Ben.
Butler has been trying to sell the gov
ernment for the past ten years. Tho
general made no objection, and the sig
nal station fulfilled its purpose and was
removed. Gen. Butkr afterwards pre
sented a bill to the committee for tho
damage to his lawn, "lhe amount was
$3. It was paid.
The Last Sleep.
While the friendq and relatives of
Thomas Reynolds, of the Standara thea
ter of New York, were assembled at his
home awaiting the beginning of the fu
neral services of his wife, his 4-year-old
little daughter Maggie tip-toed to the
coffin, and bending over it, whispered:
“Mamma, dere’s lots of nice people here.
Dit up and see them.” No answer com
ing to her, she turned and said to the
listeners: “My mamma is very sleepy,
and I know she’s sorry not to see you all,
but I’ll tell her.” Then wondering that
they too made no answer, and alarmed
by the tears she saw on every cheek, she
ran crying to her father.

It is an acknowledged fact that irritation and
