AGRICULTURAL,
T-
Farm Notoa,
Be cautious and cut hay at the right
time. Never allow it to seed. Pollen
causes dust. Let all your hay be kept
in a clean condition until stored for use.
Cutting after seeding injures the quali
ty and causes the stock to‘refuse it after
being fed on it for a length of time.
The more tender the hay the more pal
atable the stock.
A common mistake of beginners in •
• gardening is covering seeds too deeply.
As good a general rule as can be given
is to cover to depth equal to twice the
thickness of the seed. But judgment
pjust be used in every case. In the hot
and dry weather of summer seeds must
be planted more deepy, so as to be suffi
ciently moist to insure germination.
To improve a stiff wet clay soil or one
that is dry, light and sandy, sow it down
.to red clover ana harvest it while in
bloom. Then sow a second crop and
plow it under while green, in the fall.
The strong, tough clover roots wedge
themselves into the clay and make it
loose and friable. On the other hand,
the same tough, strong roots compact
• the loose sand, hold it together and keep
t . moisture from drying out.
If. posts are bored with a few holes
from oneroot above the ground line and
downward; and filled with crude petro
leum, tlse wood will be saturated and
decay retarded. Then paint, j ust before
setting, from one foot above tne ground
line downward, with a thick coat of raw
linseed, oil and lampblack or finely pul
verized charcoal, hound posts will re
main intact for years after posts not
Xreatpd are decayed.
Hogs kept in uncomfortable quarters
, majifiat a large amount of corn and in
\ crease in weight but very little. The
•hog will show the money value of com
. fop-J better than nost any animal kept
on the farm. Again, the feeding of corn
differs very greatly. Many farmers sell
tlneir best corn and keep that which is
not merchantable to feed their hogs
The scfc com does not contain the fat
tening qualities of that which is sound
and dry. The condition of the com
when fed will exert a great influence on
the amount of pork produced. To ob
tain the best possible results, the corn
should not only be ground, but thor
.• oughly cooked. Whether it will pay to
grind and cook food for hogs will de-
• pend on several circumstances, such as
the price of fuel, the cost of grinding
and the expense of labor.

Farmer, says •: “How many people have

Something- New in the Daw.
Senator Vance claims that the peo
ple of North Carolina are law- |
abiding people in the world, and to 1
prove it tells of a newly appointed jus-3
ti.ee of the peace who on a public occa-3
sion, when a fight was about to cem-*f
mence, commanded the peace, and pre- i
served it by rushing between two ‘4AIU-J
batants, drawing a knife a foot m
length, and threatening instant death
to the man that should violate the pub
lic peace.
w-1 know (writes a correspondent) of
an incident which illustrates admirably
the love of justice which animates our
excellent body of magistrates, as well
as their ingenuity in threading the
mazes of the law, and arriving at its
true meaning and intent.
A newly appointed J. P. in one of
our eastern counties was trying a civil
case of much difficulty, in which the
law appeared to be involved in consid
erable doubt. On one side was Lawyer
B , contending that the law was
dead in favor of his client; on the other
was Lawyer II , who was equally as
positive that the law was clearly on the
other side. The Court was in great
doubt for a time, but a lucky idea oc
curred to his mind. “Gentlemen,”
said the Court, “the facts in this case
are well ascertained, but the law seems
to be doubtful. The attorneys on each
side have stated what the law is, but
they do not agree. The Court decides
that as the facts are established by the
oaths of witnesses, the law must be es
tablished in like manner. The Court
requires each attorney to swear that the
law is what he has asserted it to be.”
One of the attorneys took the requir
ed oath without hesitation. The other
demurred, and lost his case.
Our new J. P. declares that he has
discovered a plan of getting at the
truth of the law never thought of by
Coke or Blackstone.— Editor's Drawer,

Painting It Red. ”
A citizen who was waiting at the cor
ner of Jefferson avenue and Wayne
street yesterday was accosted by a man
About 27 years "old, who said he wanted
a little information. When told to
drive ahead he asked:
“Almost every paper I pick up has
something in it about somebody painting
the town red. I don’t see any red
round Detroit to speak of. Do they
paint the buildings, or sidewalks, or
what?”
“Mine innocent friend,” replied the
citizen, “the term does not refer ex
actly to paint and brushes. If you
should come in here to clean out De
troit, or if you are going on a high old
spree, or if you intended to raise an ex
citement, you should slant your hat
over your left ear, spit over your right
, shoulder, and announce in a loud voice
- that you were going to paint the town
red.”
“Because red is the color of blood
fire—lightning—red hot times, eh?”
“Exactly.”
“Kind of a figurative expression?”
“Just so.”
“Well, I’m glad I’ve found out, and
I’m muchobleeged,” said the stranger,
as he walked away.
Two hours later he was conducted to
the Central Station by two officers,
four-fifths drunk, and a tough case to
handle. He had a black eye, a bloody
nose, a bleeding ear, and had been
rolled in the dirt until he was a sigkt
see. When the Captain a*Ked tho
charge the prisoner repb*ff:
“Red paint, Captehf—put ’er down
red paint. Been all round paintin’ ’er
town red. Town been all round
paintin’ me red. Whoop! Lively old

Women Gamblers.
There is a maried woman residing in
this city says The Brooklyn Times, who
two weeks ago went with a friend of
her own sex to the races at Coney
Island for the first time. The friend
was a regular attendant at the neigh
boring tracks, and bet her money as
regularly as she took her seat on the
grand stand. A regard for strict truth
compels the statement that she lost
with about equal regularity. The
novice, who had never seen a horse
race before, and who knew as much
about the merits of a thorough-bred as
Jumbo does about Sanskrit, was in
duced to bet a $5 bill. With tho
charming recklessness so characteristic
of the sex, she picked out the horse rid
den by the neatest.looking and best
dressed jockey for her first gamble. She
won. Day after day saw her in the
same seat at Brightou Beaeh or Sheep
head Bay, and on Thus rd ay evening
last she had acquired enough of the
slang of the betting ring to announce
to some friends that she was “just SBOO
ahead of the game.” Thia is no fanci
ful story. Its truth can be Vouched for
bv a very prominent official of this citv.
The woman referred to is respectable,
and moves in good society, but m two
weeks she has become a confirmed
gambler. No manly man can see wo
men bet as they do now a da vs at the
local race tracks, and watch’ the un
healthy o.xciteYnent, the anxiety, and
often the anguish revealed in their
faces while the result of a race in
which they are interested is in doubt,
without a sense of shame and sorrow

as warm-hearted and witty as the great

story of the campaign. “1 met a friend ;

Tipping the South Carolina Darky<
■ As we got into South Carolina w<
were joined by a judge from Pittsburg.
I forget just what court he was judgd
of, but he had been traveling South for
his hejflth, and had just figured up that
he had paid out $25 in fees in waiters,
and was mad all the way through. Ha
vowed by his baldness that he wouldn’t
pay out another red cent, and we en
couraged him as hard as we could.
When we went up to the hotel the
landlord gave us a big room with three
beds in it. A big negro brought the
trunks up, and when he was ready to
go the Judge called to him and began:
“Colored person, stand up! Now I
want to say to you that I shall expect
prompt service without fees. You have
Drought up my trunk; that’s all right—
jt was your business to. I shall want
water, and I may want a fire, and I
Shall probably ask you to go of errands,
but if you even look fees at me I’ll
throw you out of the window!”
We were there two days, and the
Waiter was vigilant, humble and will
ing, but as we made ready to depart
the morning of the third in comes a
ponstable with a warrant to arrest the
Judge for threats of personal violence.
It had been sworn out before a justice
ten miles away, and the complainant
Was the negro waiter.
It took the two of us to hold the
Judge down on his back during his first
paroxysm, and when he had cooled off
a little the negro slipped into the room
and said:
“White man, stand up! Now I want
to say to you data $5 bill will settle
flis yer case jist as I feel now, but if
you goes to callin’ names or pullin’
hair or kickin’ I’ll stick fur $25! Dat
justice am my own brudder,- an’ he’s
!’ist achin’ to send some white man ter
ail fur six months!”
We sat on the Judge again for about
twenty minutes, at the end of which
time he handed over the amount and
was pronounced sane.

Fashion Notes.
glesand bands.
Navy blue and brown are the leading
colors for walking dresses.
Striped skirts will be worn with cloth,
velvet, velveteen and plain woolen
stuff overdresses and.basques
The fronts of basques or two
points; the back frequently has the
sash drapery attached to it.
Many overskirts are slashed only on
one side, but the slash extends all the
way to the waist.
Woolen stuffs are more in favor than
silk or velvet ones for bonnets and
h at, as well as for the frocks with
which they are worn.
The basque is still the bodice most
favored by dressmakers, but it is made
very short and simple, with or without
a waistcoat, at pleasure.
White woolen dresses will be worn
indoors during the autumn, a touch of
color being given by the velvet colar,
cuffs and vest.
The overskirts of many cloth dresses
are made long front and back, looped
very high on one side and slashed to
the waist line on the other, showing
the rich bordered, boule, Byzantine
figured, plush, Astrakhan striped or
braided underskirt.
A Paris hat, with tall tapering crown
and flat brinij is of gray frise plush, the
brim being lined with plum velvet. It
is trimmed on the leftside with a broad,
triangular piece of plum velvet and a
bow of pale gray satin ribbon. A little
to the left of the front is a monture of
gray pigeon’s feathers and silvered
quills. A band of the satin ribbon
passes around the crown.
Diamonds will lead the precious jem
settings, both for dress and street wear.
In the ladies department earrings with
single stones will be worn. The stud
earring, fitting close to the lobe of the
ear, with only the stone visible, will be
fashionable. Cluster earrings, with the
ruby in combination with diamonds,
will be largely worn. The ruby is now
considered t&eflrarest of colored gems
Fine rubies are scarce. They will be
clustered with white and tinted pearls,
saphires, opals and other stones .
A carriage dress of plum-colored
satin has the front covered with bril
liant steel beads. At the side are w'de,
longitudinal plaits. Full back drape

here the carriage stopped, and her hus
band getting out, assisted her to alight.
They were in front of a small cottage
in the outskirts of the city, and, placing
his arms gently around her, he led her
to the door. “Why are you stopping
here, Frederick?” she asked in bewil
derment. “This, my darling, is our
future home,” he replied, tenderly but
triumphantly, as he pushed the door
open and entered the scantly furnished
domicile.
“Frederick! F-r-e-d-e-r-i-c-k! What
do you mean?”
“I mean, my sweet,” drawing her
closer to him and smiling happily as he
spoke in a soft voice, “I mean -that I
am not a banker—that I am not lich—
that lam not a Western man, nor a
Californian—that—”
“Sir!” coldly, and drawing haughtily

arms and buried hes face on his shirt
bosom, laughing hysterically for joy.
“Yds, my destr, lam a coachman,and

who would love me for myself alone,
and not because I was a coachman.
And now, my dear, that I have found
her, I throw off all disguise and am a
coachman once more—your coachman,
and yours only.”
, “Oh, Frederick, you dear, dear, old
Frederick! How noble, how generous
you are! And to think that I evei
should be a coachman’s wife! I never,
never dared to dream of such happiness
for poor little me!”— San Francisct
Chronicle.

General Schenck on the street. “Hom
are you, Schenck?” said the bluff old

“Yes,” was the reply; “I am first-rate;

was that very pretty woman you kissed

The war-horse pondered a moment and

know she was a married woman?”
asked Schenck. “No, indeed,” said
the General, laughing, “and I haven’t
seen her since. You see, they alls fowl

The two oldTtiends tried to

Finally, General Schenck said: “Well,
