FARM AND GARDEN. 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.— New York Times. 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. finish by pulling and working and rub bing with fine sandpaper and pumice stone. —New York World. 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. llow to Enjoy Life. It is an acknowledged fact that irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane, pro ducing both urinary and nasal catarrh, is caused by an unhealthy condition of the blood, and tnat this condition of the blood will eventually undermine the strongest constitution and weaken every function of the body.
