Hints About the Farm.

The Southern Farmer says that tea
spoonful of fine salt or of horse radish
in pan of milk will keep it sweet for
several days.
Beans, when cooked with fat, are
quite analogous to nuts in their sustain
ing qualities, and vegetable oil might
always be used in preference to pork.
Fried beans and tortillas cakes
made from Indian corn-are the staple
dish in Mexico. Pea soup every alter
nate day is the regular dinner in the
English merchant service.
One thing which armers neglect is
the honey bee. 1t is really too bad,
while nature has f. rnished so many
plants and flowers for the secretion of
honey, that the people so much neglect
to care for and encourage honey bees,
which alone are created to collect it for
the use of man.
Carefully conducted experiments have
demonstrated the fact that seasoned
wood we'll saturated with oil when put
together will nj t shrink in the dryest
weather. Wheels have Ieen known to
run many years, even to wearing out of
the tires to be reset. Thousands Of
dollars might be saved annually in
blacksmiths' bills, especially such sea
sons as the past, if this practice were
adopted. 1t is not known by some
that crude petr 'leum ON even old
wheels will produce like benefit

Agricultural Items.

A Gooo, convenient and very effectual
remedy for the sting of wasps, bees,
etc, is simply to hold any hollow key
over the place stung, press it hard into
the flesh for minute or so, and when
taken off the poison will be on the sur
face of the flesh and do no harm. A
thimbie with a tight top will do, but
not quite so well.
For removing greasy spots from any
fabric, use the ammonia nearly pure,
then lay white blotting paper over the
spot AM iron lightly. In washing lace
put about twelve drops in pint of
warm suds. To clean silver mix two
teaspoonsfuls of ammonia in a quart of
hot suds. Put in your silverware and
wash, using an old nail-brush or tooth
brush for the purpose.
A WRITER in the Southern Farm and
Home gives these reasons for sowing
orchard grass and clover together As
orchard grass gets ripe at the same date,
holds the clover up for the sythe, fur
nishes the best of early spring and
winter pastu es, and as it will grow in
clumps, the clover only filling up what
would otherwise be bare, and as a good
stand of this grass is everlasting under
any sort of rational treatment, l prefer
the two mixed.
II wolf:teeth produced blindness in
horses, every horse would be blind, an
every horse has these teeth in the
course of nature by the time he is five
years old. Generally these teeth are
shed naturally soon after piercing the
gum, but sometimes remain longer :;
but it is quite unnecessary to remove
them. 1t would be proper to treat the
eyes for inflammation or some other
complaint, and altogether ignore the
wolf-teeth. 1t is time now this error
was unlearned.
WHENEVER a large branch of any tree
is removed, the wound should be COW
cred with wax or common paint, and
the application renewed as often as
necessary to prevent decay. If this
has been neglt cted, and decay has pro-
gressed to any considerable extent,
then all rotten and dead wood should
be carefully removed, and the hole filled
with cement, mortar, or other substance
that will keep out the air and water.
Decayed wood is of no use to any tree,
but it is positive damage, causing dis
ease, and the sooner it is removed the
better.
AN intelligent and thrifty farmer
says: But for the cooperation of my

Starved to Death.

Died from exhaustion through want
of good food and proper nourishment,"
was the verdict of coroners jury at an
inquest recently held at Wansworth,
England. The deceased was farm la
borer named James Sewington. He was
honest, sober, and industrious. In good
weather he sometimes earned eighteen
shilllngs-about 81. 50-a week but in
rainy weather his wages were much
less, and as q consequence his rent got
in arrears and his wife and family were
almost without food. Anxious to get
out of debt and to support those who
were dependent upon him, the unfor,
tunate man deprived himseJ-hero as
he was-of the food necessary to sustain
life, and at last actually died from star
walton.
1t is stated that this man was but one
of class which numbers tens of thou
sands in England, who, with their fami-
lies, constantly mover on the verge of
starvation, no matter how faithfully
they may work to the full extent which
their opportunities offer. If this be so.
it is certainly a most deplorable state of
things.

The Slidell Family.

John Slidell's second daughter, Miss
Caroline Sli iell, is about to marry Ba-
ron Pfyfer Won Heidegg. What d
strange destiny this family has had
John Slidell, the son of a tallow- chan
dler OF New York, became clerk in u
merchants Office, killed man in a
duel, and became obliged to quit New
York. He went to New Orleans, be-
came lawyer, obtained a large profes
sional income, which he greatly increas-
ed by lending money and by marriage.
Thoroughly unpriLcipled, he became
useful to his party by his great astute-
ness and unscrupulous adroitness, and
by sort of admiration these defects
commanded among the rag, tag, and
bobtail of party. Elected to the United
States Senate after repeated and, as he
thought, unjust postponements, he
made no sort of figure in it, for the
United States Senate was then compos.
ed chiefly of gentlemen. Appointed
after the secession foreign commission.
er Of the Confederate States, he came
abroad, after an arrest on the high seas
by the stupid, laundering zeal of Com
modore Wilkes. He had scarcely
reached Paris when he discarded all
thought of the Confederate States, ex-
cept when he could serve his own pur.
poses, and devoted his energies to estab-
lish and advance his family in this
country. Jealous of all servants of the
Confederate States, especially of able,
efficient men like Mr.. de Leon, he
threw every obstacle in their way that
he might keep the whole authority of
the Confederate States in his own hands
that he might the more exalt himself.
lie died in England and was buried in
the Isle of Wight-no unsuitable grave
for a man who never had a country OF
a friend. His brother, Alex. Slidell,
who in after life added Mackenzie to
his name, was likewise doomed to be
blood-stained. He hanged without trial
and upon the most fimsy pretext, a
midshipman of the navy, son of John
G. Spencer. John Slidell married his
eldest daughter to German banker,

divorce from Mile. Lafitte. John Slidell

About Snakes.

An English writer claims that the
popular opinion in regard to snakes
charming birds with their eyes is in.
correct. He tells us that the eye is
bright and beautiful, "but it is a scale
merely immovably fixed in the head, so
that an object cannot be well seen, ex-
cepting when right before the snake ;
hence the great advantage the mon
goose has when attacking his natural
enemy, as he generally manages to pin
the snake before being seen himself
He also pronounces the idea that
snak kes pursue people a fallacy. The
snake waits for its prey, INSTEAD dofrunning
after it. He further asserts that snakes
are perfectly harmless if left alone
Let us quote:
All snakes have amiable dispos.
tions at least, l can positively state
that no kind of snake ever acts on the
offensive (if not frightened or threat
ened). Any one accidentally treading
on one would be at once bitten; but |
have approached snakes Qarge and
small quietly, noiselessly, and with
the least possible movement of the
limbs and body, and stood over them,
without their taking the least notice of
me. | have taken fanged snakes by
the neck (close to the head) and ex
amined them with perfect impunity.
OF course | never tried this game with
any snake that was not perfectly GER
tain | could hold, in spite of its strug
giles. l have known Mr.. Waterton to
open box containing sixteen live rat
tle.snakes land before a Mortified audi
encel quietly insert his arm into the
said box, and, one by one, lift out the
sixteen, and put them into another
box, without the slightest attempt on
the part OF the snake to bite him.
Now this proves that even fanged snakes
are really amiably disposed, if not
alarmed in any way.
"At Hushungabad, in the Nerbudda
district, in 1898, came once upon Two
pythons, full size, basking in the sun.
They were stretched full length, and
about ten PAGES apart, and parallel to
one another. | could not resist stealing
quietly up to the tail of the nearest to
me, which | seized with quiet but
firm grasp (keeping good look out in
case he turned his head round to me).
The monster merely moved slowly on
right ahead, pulling me along as if
was but straw. Had l approached
suddenly and noisily, l have no doubt
| should have been quickly reduced to
potted meat in his crushing folds.
On another occasion, whilst enjoying
a weed and a glass os brandy pawnee
with friend, just outside my bungalow,
he all at once said, in an anxious tone,
There is cobra all but under your
chair, and making dead for it, l felt
as if a hot curling iron was passing right
through my hair, but | had sufficient
presence of mind not to move. l even
held my breath for the moment. The
next instant fine, full.szed cobra is
sued out right from between the pair of
kippens that | have and was yards
away in a crack. | then jumped up,
and after it with stick when, per
ceiving my amiable intentions, up it
reared, hood and body, and made dab
at me, but gentle tap on the vertebra
Of the neck quite disabled it."

Care OF Horses Feet.

Few men who handle ho,ses give
proper attention to their feet and legs,
Especially is tn s the case on farms.
Much time is spent of morning in
rubbing, brushing and smoothing the
h ir on the sides and hips, but at no
time are the feet examined and properly
cared for. Now, be it known, that the
feet OF horse require more care than
the body. Toby need ten times as
much for, in one respect, they are al.
mostthe entire horse. All the grooming
that can be done won't avail anything
if the horse is forced to stand where his
feet are filthy. In this case The feet
will become disordered, and Their the
legs will get badly out of fix; and, with
bad teet and bad legs, there is not
MIS-, ,isc IF the horse fit for anything.
