A GREAT FARMERS MAXIMs.-The
successful life of MIR. Jacob Straw, the
prince of American farmers, is attribu.
ted to the close observance of the fol-
lowing maxims, originated by himself:
When you wake up do not roll over,
but roll out. 1t will give you time to
ditch all your sloughs, break them, har-
row them and SOW them.
Make your fencing high and strong
and tight, so that it will keep the cattle
and pigs out.
II you have brush, make your lot
secure and keep your hogs from the
cattle; for if the corn is kept clean, they
will eat 1t better than If IL is not.
Be sure TO get your hands to bed by 7
O'Clock; they will rise early by force of
OF circumstances. Pay hand, If he Is
a poor hand, all you promise him; If
he is good hand,pay him little more,
ii will encourage him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as we'll as
yourself, for the laboring men are the
bone and sinew of the land, and ought
to be well treated.
am satisfied that early rising indus.
try and regular habits are the best
medicines ever prescribed for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes, so
that you can't work out doors, cut, split
and haul your wood.
Make your racks; fix your fence or a
gate that is off the hinges, or weather
board your barn where the wind has
blown the siding off, or patch the roof
of your house,
Study your interests closely, and do
not spend your time eleeting Presidents
Senators and other small officers or
talking of hard times when spending
your time whiting store boxes, etc.
Take your time and make calcula.
tions. Don't do things In o hurry, but
do them at the right time, and keep
your mind as we'll as your body EN-.
ployed.-RTalist.

AN UNMANAGEABLE ECHO.-Up in
the Lehigh Valley there is hotel keep.
er who has mountain about quarter
of mile from his house, and it occur
red to him that it would be good idea
If he could fix things so that a magnetic
echo could be heard from the mountain
by persons who stood at his hotel and
hallOed. He thought the phenomenon
might attract visitors. So he engaged
boy named Jim Simms, who lived over
the mountain, to be on hand every day
from twelve till two, and to secrete
himself behind little clump of trees,
and when he saw anybody on the roof
of the hotel, and heard them calling, to
repeat their words fifty or sixty times
in voice which should grow fainter
and fainter. He made Jim practice, and
the result was splended. So one day the
landlord announced that he had dis
covered that noble echo could be heard
from the roof of the hotel. He took a
lot of people up to let them enjoy the
discovery. The guests called for half an
hour, but without hearing any echo.
The landlord was crimson with rage
but just as he was about to give it up
the voice of Jim came sailing over the
river to this effect: "Bin down to the
spring for mother. Fire away, now. Pm
all right" Theguests smiled. The land
lord glided down stairs and tore over TO
the mountain, where he shook Jim up
a few times, and gave him lecture and
some fresh instructions. In few days
the landlord rushed up a new crowd of
guests to hear the echo. 1t worked
grandly for a while, but all of sudden
1t stopped in the midst of an impressive
reverberation. In vain the callers strove
to awake tho ocho. 1t was dumb. But
presently, in answer to an exceedingly
boisterous cry. the following strain was
waited across from Jim: "You come
over and make him give me my knife,
and then I'll holler. He's been set
tim on me-" The landlord dropped
down stairs and charged over to the
mountain. There was Jim lying upon
the ground, with big boy holding him
down and whacking him. Jim and his
antagonist had engaged in game of
mumblepeg, during which the big boy
had seized Jim's knife, and Jim all at
once lost his interest in the echo busi-
ness. The landlord went home, ascend
cd the stairs, and nailed the trap door
fast. No more echoes for him.

COLD WATER BAD FOR Cows.-Dur.

Agricultural.


at has long been n custom with
blacksmlths to burn horses mouth with
a redh iron, to cure q disease called
"lampas." 1t il q cruel and q useless
practice, as will be seen by the follow.
Ing opinion of an eminent veterinary
surgeon:
"The symptoms of this imaginary
disease are, the horse guilds his hay, or
refuses his food. 1t Is more common in
young horses the groom looks into the
mouth of the animal, aud perceiving
the bars TO be almost on alevel with the
incisor teeth, he pronounces his charge
TO have the lampas, aud takes the poor
creature to be burnt within its mouth
accordingly.
ut Is true the animal has recovered
its appetite by the time the effects of the
burn have passed away, but so ii would
have done had not hot iron been cruelty
employed. The fact Is the young aui
NAL is then cutting molar tooth, and
n day or two having elapsed, all the fe-
yer and pain occasioned by the process
would have been over, No man should
allow his horse to be burned for the lam
pas. 1t is torturing, and idle and
wanton operation, and tends rather to
do harm than good.
"If all old horse be reported as hav.
ing the lampas, examine his mouth,
and something may be found wrong
with his grinders, or, to certainty, the
cause is to be sought in another part of
the body than tho roof of the mouth. 1t
is sometimes indicative of disordered
stomach"
The above sensible advice we clip
from ono of our exchanges, which we
find is noted for similar articles, and II
its publication in our columns shall have
the effect to prevent the use of hot iron
in single case, we shall be amply re
paid for oNr trouble. During the last
few Yeas we have raised several horses
and did not find one TO escape the dis
ease known as lampas We never made
use ofany remedy other than to provide
the colt with such food as il could most
readily eat, and we depended upon ma
ture to effect cure, in which we never
have been disappointed.
In the case of an older animal the
trouble which surgeon had pronounc
cd to be lampas, was found to be caused
By small piece OF corn cob becoming
fast In the roof of the animals mouth.
The more we see of sick animals, the
more we are convinced of the old vet
ean Jethro Tull's advice to "Treat
your brutes like men," If human be
ing had similar disease, no doctor
would prescribe hot iron. Then why is
II good for a horse ?-Ee.

On last week the ",Sentinep gave
the dying confessions of George Simp-
son, the assassin of Mr. Mason, since
then We have endeav0red to get the
confession of his sister Becca Selph.-
She AYERS that she knew nothing of
Georges intention to kill Mason that
she had an appointment to meet Ma
son at his store on that night, that
there had been some difficulty between
Mason and herself; that Mason was 10
have another party there for the pur-
pose of reconciIiDg the difficulty; and
that George went with her, she says
she remained back of the Depot while
her brother went to the store to see if
any one beside Mason was there. She
remained at this point some time,
when George came back and told her
that he had KILLED Joe" that she was
perfectly horror stricken, and doubted
the truth of Georges statement, that
George told her 10 come to the store
and see for herself, she went to the
store, and asked George where 1.-THE
party alluded TO ab0ve) was, he replied
he did not know, the money drawers
were on the counter, and that George
carried away a large lot OF goods,
