SToPPED ON THE PUBLIC HIoHwAY.-
During our visit to Eureka, after having
completed the business which brought
Is there, we were on our way home, in
company with Tim Cranley, Assessor,
when party of men, among whom We
'ecognized Billy Seaton, Tom Maupin,
Jus Campbell, Josh Walls and some
others, took the horses by the head and
ordered us to dismount. OF course, al
though nothing but a peculiarly con-
structed pocket pistol was presented at
as, under the circumstances, we were
obliged to obey the order, and stepped
out. We were told to go into Jack Ram
says saloon, the Court Exchange, and
take the oath, which we did as gracefully
as is our custom. An assessment was
levied on our outfit, but, through the
'lemency of Uncle Josh and the absence
'f Wallace, we were allowed at last to
iepart. Look out when you come over
o our town, boys we'll get Dan Patter-
'on or Jake Bellrude to arrest the whole
bundle for this outrage.

What is said of Butter.

When Wholesale dealer is questioned
as to the proportion of really fine butter he
receives in his consignments, he replies
five per cent. larger proportion than this
comes to market as grease. The grocer
will tell you that of all your stock good
butter is the most difficult to procure, and
costs him most time and trouble to select.
We know there is no good reason why this
should be so. Here and there scattered
widely apart throughout the country we
know farmers who make excellent butter,
which would be classed first quality in they
market. and next door to those neighboA
who make trash unfit for food. On the
counters of country stores may any day be
seen rolls of butter most widely different
in color, flavor and texture. One f1mer
is careful and clearly, and his wife,keeps
her dairy sweet and her pals and pans per-
fectly pure another keeps q foul stable,
milks in an uncleanly fashion, has musty
feed and foul water for his cows, while his
wife is equally careless in her dairy. How
can the butter in these two cases he other
than widely different in quality and value2

an hour, a marvellous change comes over
the spirit of the dream the sunshine has
gone, clouds portend, darkness covers the
face of the great deep, and the old man,
body and soul, willis away like flower
without water in midsummer. When the
weather is cool, clear, and bracing, the
atmosphere is full of electricity when it is
sultry and moist and without sunshine, it
holds but small amount ofelectricity COM
paratively speaking, and we have to give
up what little we have, moisture being o
good conductor; thus, in giving up instead
of receiving more, as we would from the
cool, pure air, the change is too great, and
the whole man languishes. Many became
uneasy under these circumstances-"they
can't account for it; they imagine that
evil is impending, and resort at once to
tonics and stimulants. The tonics onlyin-
creaes the appetite without imparting any
additional power to work up the additional
food, thus giving the system more work
to do, instead of less. Stimulants seem to
give more strength; they wake up the cir
culation, but it is only temporarily, and I'M
less new supply is soon taken, the system
runs further down then it would have done
without the stimulant; hence it is in a
worse condition than if none had been ia
ken. The better course would be to rest
take nothing but cooling fruits, berries
and melons, and some acid drink when
thirsty, adding, if desired, some cold bread
and-butter; the very next morning will
bring welcome change. Journal Of

STIRRING TIE SoIL.-Stirring the soil
during the growing seasons cannot be done
too often, provided it is not wet enough to-
pack. AS an antidote to droughts it is
unrivalled. A man who can stir the soil
every day about his plants and trees, can
virtually defy a drought. The operation
seems to create moisture or at least to at
tract it, both from the subsoil and atmos-
phere. The weeds ofcourse have no chance
under such system, and the moisture they
would require and take goes to purpose
"where it will do most good" Horse cul-
ure is the cheapest mode, but in gardens
too small for horse culture, hand culture,
must be depended on. The difference in
effect between frequent and occasional STIR
ring will astonish those who have not be-
fore observed it. An instance was in print
some time ago which will illustrate it,
though, as a fact, it may be mythical
Two neighbors with small patches of corn
got up friendly rivalry as to which should
grow the most corn per acre, and put up
small wager. One of them determining to
leave nothing undone in the way of culture
and weed fighting, hoed his patch once
week regularly. He after while, was q.
good deal surprised to notice that his corn
was falling behind, although he never saw
his neighbor at work. The latter now, and
naturally enough the former, asked chow
he did it," volunteering the statement at
the same time that he "hoed his corn every
week until it had tassled out" The sue
cessful grower replied: II hood mine every
morning before you got out of DOORS"
There was no further need of explanation.
The man who has plenty of muscle and
time, and little or no money to expend OF,
fertilizers, will find frequent stirring of the
soil will go long way to supply the alb
sence of fetilizers In fact, culture with
out manure is worth much more than ma
nure without culture. When both can he
discreetly applied it is advisable, but when
choice must be made, l shall always
choose culture.-N. Y Observer.

row in the earth at night and fail to rise in
the morning: 1t is also good to kill the
grub In peach trees Only use twice as much,
say quart or two to each tree. There was
not yellow or blistered leaf on twelve or
fifteen trees to wich it was applied last sea1

to beans make them grow wonderfully.

THE QUAKER's DAUeHTER.-In 1928,
there lived in Burlington county, N. j., a
Quaker preacher by the name of Abraham
=, a very mild, pleasant spoken person,
who had a beautiful and accomplished
daughter of the name of Patience. There
were several young men in the neighbor-
hood who were very anxious to win the
lovely Patience. Among them was one by
the name of David c., who was thought to
be the favorite of both father and daugh-
ter, and yet nothing had passed that could
be considered as an engagement. One
morning as David was about to leave, have
ing passed the night at uncle Abraham s
as he was Familiarity called, his horse was
brought to the door, most of the family be-
ing there to see him start. The animal be-
came very restless, and it was some time be-
fore he could get upon his back he got out
of patience, and struck the horse several cuts
with his whip. Uncle Abraham looked at
David very seriously, and said, David,
thee should have patience" Uncle Abra-
ham, l will, if can get her." was the i'm
mediate reply. Patience consented, and
Uncle Abraham blessed them on the spot,
and he often laughted at the way David
caught him.

HOW AND WHEN TO USE

HOW AND WHEN TO USE IT
The following was furnished to Ohm =
Rural World by Professor Joseph Luce
Plaster as q Fertilizer Among the manu-
featured products which ought to be en-
ployed by the farmer in the beginning ofthe
year as fertiliZing agents, we will place the
common plaster. Its applications are nu-
merous, and the modes of applying vary
according to the mixtures of the crop.
Plaster is compound salt or lime and
sulphuric acid, known under the name of
gypsum, or sulphate oflime; its compost
ton when pure is, sulphuric acid 43, lime
33, water "a. There are often variations
in the formula of commercial plaster, due
to the calcination and the presence of for
eign matter, such as silica and carbonate
of lime; but none can be injurious in its
application as fertilizers. There are five
commonly cultivated crops which contain
gypsum in sensible proportions they are
Lucerne, sainfoin, red clover, rye, grass,
turnips; but its transformation by absorp-
ton of ammonia enables its constituents to
become the food of other varieties of crops,
such as wheat, barley, oats, beans, peas and
vines. 4
Professor Liebig contends that the ma
ture of gypsum consists in giving a fixed
consti tuition to the nitrogen, or ammonia,
which is brought into the soil, and is indis-
pensable for the nutrition of plants. He
says that 400 pounds of gypsum gives as
much amonia as $3.50 pounds of horses
urine would yield; four pounds of gypsum
increase the produce of meadows 100
pounds"
Grasses and Red Clooer.- After seeding,
when the frost leaves the ground in the
earlier part of q Spring (April) we
ought to sow plaster on the soil, abo&ss4f 100
pounds to the acre. When grass or clover
same quantity per acre. when the plant is
three to four inches high, and, if possible
during wet weather.
Wheat.-Upon winter wheat there should
be top dressing of about fifty pounds to
the acre in the fall when it comes up, and
another like dressing after it has started in
the spring. In cases where it has been af-
fected by the severity of the winter, and
especially in all cases where it is uneven in
growth, with spots nearly killed out, lar
ger application should be made, full one
hundred pounds to the acre, and making
even more liberal application than that
to the poor spots The effect will appear
marvellus. Upon spring wheat it should
be sown after it is we'll up-about one hun
bred pounds to the acre.
Oats, Barley and Rye-Upon oats, barley
and rye, the application should be the same
as upon spring wheat, after they are well
up, and about one hundred pounds to the
acre.
Potatoes.-Upon potatoes plaster should
be sown upon the hill soon after the plants
are up, same as upon corn, about a table,
spoonful or more to the hill, scattered up
on the leaves as much as possible, and then
should have at least one more liberal dress
ing upon the vines after hoeing, and when
well advanced in growth.
CONSULTATIONS opinions are entertained
| by farmers as to the best mode of applica-
ton ofplaster to corn; Of the benefits re-
sulting from its use there is no doubt
