Barley without Boards!

1t is even so. A variety Ct Barley has
been discovered in the gulches of the Hi
malayan mountains, entirely free from those
annoying and poisonous Boards attached
to our common varieties.
The undersigned obtained grains of
this new variety three years ago, and being
much pleased with its general appearance
and productiveness, has spared no pains to
multiply this small quantity as fast as the
Shanghais and other birds would allow.
Its merits for grinding or mailing have not
been tested, and the quantity is now too
small to squander in that way when every
tiller of the soil who sees it, is anxious to
have few grains, not doubling it will
prove valuable acquisition. I have sufi-
cient, however, to furnish all persons in
terested, who will be likely to see this no
tice, with one head each, containing 80 to
60 grains. Send me your address on a
stamped envelope, and l will enclose head,
and send it by return mail, with printed
instructions for cultivathg it in way to
insure large return from small quantity
of seed. Should this new variety be found
to answer all the purposes of the common
Barley, few years will suffice to drive the
"Barley Boards" from the country.
Should any person desire more than the
one head, 1 viii send package of 700 to
800 grains securely enveloped, by mail,
post paid, for 25 cents, accompanied with
a few heads to proue the fact of its being
beardless.

Died of Frost and whisky.

Coroner Erwin held an inquest day be-
fore Yesterday, in Independence, near the
covered bridge over the Cuyahoga, on the
dead bodv of Isaac L. Skinner, an old res
ident of the town. The body was found
between seven and eight o'clock of that
morning, its legs from the knees downward
in brook. 1t was about quarter of
mile from home. 1t appeared in testimony
that Skinner had been in the habit of drink
ing immoderately for the past four or five
years--that he had spent the night previ-
Gus at the whisky shop of one Henry
Wertz, in that vicinity-that he had left
there very early in the morning, and on
his way homeward had called at Vests IA
neighbor) house at four o'clock, and not
withstanding the urging of West to stay,
had started home. That was the last seen
of him till has frozen body was found. He
had fallen while drunk, with his legsin the
brook, and there frozen to death. The Ju-
ry returned verdict of death by intem-
perance and exposure to the cold and wet.
Skinner was sixty-three years old, and
came to this country before 1880. His
family consisted of a wife and child whom
his death leaves posessors of very fair
country property.
We understand there are four doggeries
or whisky shops of the meanest kind in
that vicinity, which are every day dealing
out death and deviltry in the shape Of
whisky and other villainous fluid COM
pounds. Four men of that section, heads
Of families, have, within comparatively
short time, come to untimely deaths through
the agency, directly or indirectly, of these
whisky shops. There is considerable ex-
citement in regard to the matter, and it
may possibly result in ridding the town.

Eg- 1t is generally known that cream
becomes "bitter' from standing too long
on the milk. This is often the case, but
it not unfrequently becomes so when only
allowed remain "a hours. The best pre-
ventive is TO place the milk on the stove in
pan as soon as it is strained, and let it
almost boil. This will not prevent the
cream from rising. Milk thus partially
scalded will keep much longer than other
wise. When the whole milk is to be used
without skiming it is always preferable to
scald it when first received from the milk
man. The only exception to this plan, is
when the milk will not bear heating with
out curding-a circumstance not unfre-
quent, as those who buy city milk can abun-
dainty testify.
