JUST TAKEN HIS BIrTERs We heard II
seedylooking individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark to il brother soakcr
that he had "iust had his bitters, but
he did not mind taking another nip. "
His remark suggested Il train of reflec-
ton. How was it, we asked ourselves,
that the word "bitters" had grown to
be synonym for gin, whisky, rum, and
other alcoholic stimulants, to which it
was applied Unfortunately. Bitters,
we reasoned, suggested the idea of a
hcalthful tonic, not of II poisonous
stimulant; something invigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full
of fusel oil, producing present intoxica-
ton and ultimate insanity, idiocy, or
premature death. Moreover, our idea of
bitters was totally irreconcilable with
"gin cocktails, "rum punches" and
brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison
This was bitter-sweet with Il vengeance
We mentioned this problem to a friend
He solved it by exclaiming Why,

ErOm Hay to Paaiure.

Stock at this season of the year re-
qulres as much attention as in mid win
ter. True, they will not eat so much
hay, but if allowed to cater for them
selves, us is the case in many instances,
they will pick from early morn till late
evening, and with all their industry OBJ
tain very Indifferent living. The con-
sequence is they lose flesh, and in a
week or two they become spring poor,
and the whole bountiful grass season is
required to put flesh on them, but often
they will not fall away, and when the
pastures are good they will continue to
thrive the whole season.-Furnaeys'

Caring for Peach Orchards.

The Vineland On. J.) Weekly says the
pear growers of Western New York and
Northern New Jersey fertilize their
trees very highly and cultivate thor
oughly. They say that this system pro-
duces the largest net result in proper
ton to the expense. The most success
full pear grower near Newark, N. j., af-
ter fertilizing and cultivating in the
spring, mulches his entire orchard.
This appears to be following the exam
pie of nature. She always mulchcs.
The production of pears under this sys-
tenn appears to be enormous Vineland
has great facilities in this way, as salt
hay can be obtained from the sea shore
for very small price. 1t is more prof
liable to thoroughly cultivate and fer
tilize ten trees than to allow one hun
dred to take care of themselves. There
is many Il man who, if instead of plant
ing out 1900 trees and neglecting them,
would plant out 200 and attend to them,
would have a full pocket instead of an
empty one. He would get more fruit
and save great expense.

A Feed Cutter.

A correspondent of the Vermont
Farmer gives his method of converting
mower into feed cutter, as follows :
Place the machine standing upright on
the back end, and brace it firmly. Then
brace up the bar SO that it will be
steady, and fit a board on the top of the
fingers Of the guard bar, 50 that the hay
cannot get over the bar. Then make
table to feed on. Throw the machine
into gear, put the hay on the table and
turn the wheel. The hay is fed against
the under side of the bar With horse
power and belt to the wheel, this makes
first rate power feed cutter, doing the
work fast and well.

FARM AND HOME.


A correspondent of the american
Bee journal tells its readers of plan
for catching absconding swarms, which
he says he obtained from neighboring
bee-keeper, who had captured two
swarms in this manner. He says:
Should you enter a tract of woodland
in Bookkeeping neighborhood, in the
height of the swarming season, you will
observe many bees searching closely
around the trunks of the larger trees.
When they find a cavity suitable for a
future habitation, they return to the
hive and are ready to guide the new
swarm to their new home, if they sue
coed in getting away from the apiary,
and we know that many do. Now we
want these swarms, and how are we to
get them? Why, simply thus Take
a few old bee gums or box hives, nail
bottoms to them, have few small holes
III the sides for entrances, and hang
them up in few of the large trees. If
an abscoRding swarm enters the forest
it is almost sure to enter one of your
hives, which can be moved to your api-
airy at your leisure.
Don't leave any large holes in your
decoy hive if you do, squirrels are sure
to enter also. My neighbor overlooked
this matter, and found in one of his
hives not only swarm of bees, but also
nest of squirrels, all living harmoni-
ously together.

The Farmers Union says "Avoid,
as far as possible, exposing horses to
storms. When on journey, aim to
feed at the regular hours. If nothing
more can be done, take along some corn
meal, and put Il quart in pail of water,
and stir it up while the horse is drink
ing. 1t will greatly refresh and
strengthen him. Many horses suffer
from dyspepsia and one great cause of
it is irregularity in feeding, and giving
too much grain when the horse is ia
tigued. When horse has been OK
posed to storm, and comes home in an
exhausted condition, give him a warm
bran mash. Put two or three quarts of
bran in a pail, and pour on two or three
quarts of boiling water, and stir it up ;
then add cold water sufficient to cool it
to the temperature of new milk, and
give it to the horse. Blanket the
horse, and rub his head, ears and legs
dry, and afterwards rub him dry all
over"

Summer Dangers.

The summer sunshine that clothes the earth
with luxuriant vegetation evaporates vast
amount Of crude, unwholesome moisture from its
surface, which, mingling with the air in the form
of mephitic gases, produces u variety of febriIe
and other diseases. The body being debilitated
by the warmth of the season, and the pores being
wide open, gaping as it for the seeds Of sick
ness, any infectious principle that may exist in
the atmosphere is readily received into the sys-
TEN, when it bears baueful fruit in the shape of
collie, sickness at the stomach, headache, or nerv-
GUS prostration. In order to prevent these vista
tions, put the system i'll condition to resist all
morbid influences. Brace the inner man with

PERIL,S or TELEGRAPHY.

Persons pugilistically disposed or
prone to violent passions should avoid
the profession of telegraph operators.
That instrument multiplies and extends
opportunities of ailront and collision to
an unlimited extent. The operator at
Worcester, Mass, recently transmitted
to birmingham in the same State Il
message importing his inclination to
punch the latter's head. Forwith came
the reply, Coming on next train. !"
And he did come; a person of immense
length, girth, and resource, with flaming
hair, and sleeves rolled up. The Wor-
cester operator teiegraphcd i'll every
direction for succor, breaking half the
machines in New Englund i'll his impetu-
Gus call for allies, but he was too late.
He had barked up the wrong tree; had
twisted the tail of the incorrect cata-
mount; had, to use the somewhat coarse
and porcine phrase which Henry VIII.
applied TO Cranmcr, taken the wrong pig
by the ear. His enemy swept upon him
with great readiness and vigor, totally
changing the geography of his counte-
nance, and insinuating into his mind
entirely new theories of professional Ell
qucttc and original conceptions of the
precipitate and dangerous ardor of red
headed men. Since this occurrence the
wires have been loaded with messages
of inquiry and coincidence addressed to
the Worcester operator, all exhibiting
earnest and anxious curiosity to know
how his head is.

STILL another North Pole expedition
has started for the ice-grave. 1t prom
ises better than most of them, however,
from the fact that it is private under
taking, backed by ample means, butm-
fcttercd by official formality and mis-
management. Mr.. Leigh Smith, a
wealthy English explorer, is the origina-
tor, and commands in person, assisted
by an excellent corps of scientists and
sea officers. The expedition left Dun
dee, Scotland, on the 10th ult., in two
large and powerful steam yachts. 1t will
touch at Spitzbergen and complete it's
supplies, and then push forward, hoping
to reach the "open polar sea" by mid

Nests for Setting Hens.

The R"rot World says most excel
lent nest for hens is made by placing at
the bottom of the basket or box some
turf, with shovelful of dry earth or
ashes. On top of this place short

ter the form of nest. Thus u more
even temperature is obtained than where
straw alone is used. Nests made in this
way are very useful when the weather is

DEER-HUNTING EXTRA ORDINARY.
Texas is remarkable country, and her
people have been credited with many re-
markable achievements, some of which
incredulous people are disposed to re-
gard as decidedly apocryphal. The latest
contribution of the Lone Star State of
this character, and which surpasses any
thing of the kind we remember to have
read of, is the story of the extraordinary
deer-hunt of II modern Nimrod by the
name of lack Holden. 1t comes to us
i'll the shape of letter to the Clarks-
vile Times, dated Daily Springs, Bowie
county, Texas, May 20, 1870: "The
visitors at Daily Springs had, few days
since, some rare entertainments in the
sporting line. Mr.. lack Holden, the
famous hunter who supplies the hotel
and visitors with venison, turkeys, etc. 4,
being in the hunt, discovered herd of
deer, and firing, he dropped down one
mortally wounded; the herd va
mosed, but seeing the struggles of their
wounded companion, soon returned. Mr..
Holden had by this time reloaded his
rifle, and selectinganother, shot it down
the herd again disappeared, but in a
moment returned ; this they repeated
until he had killed six and wounded the
seventh, in the space of half an hour,
without having moved from his position
Some days previous, Mr.. BIB,
having killed large doe that was en-
cicntc, performed the Cesarian operation,
reversed, with perfect success, and
brought the fawns home, where they
have lived and thrived for more than two
weeks. These are facts, and can be veri-
fed by the testimony of any number OF
the best citizens, us well as the visitors
at the springs

AT Constantinoptc number of old
rusted helmets, deposited in church
there, were lately sold as old iron at
about 12c. or 15c. per pound. There
were about 600. The purchaser com
menced cleaning them, and then discov-
cred that they were of fine steel, and
adorned with Arabic inscriptions, show
ing that they dated from very ancient
times. He began by selling them at 20
piastres (25 centimes each) the piece,
then 80, 40, and even so, until at last
an Armenian bought up all that were
left at 22fr. SOC. and put them up to sale
in the bazars. The Government has
repurchased them ut from 60 to CD Il

MICHIGAN deserves credit for a stride
in prison reform far in advance of any
of her sisters. The Legislature, at its
last session, voted to free the convicts in
the State Prison from the humiliation of
wearing striped clothes, and granted
them permission to correspond with their
relatives and friends. The State also de-
votes funds to their education, and is to
give each one, when discharged, ten dol
lars in cash and ten dollars worth of
clothing, besides the money he may have
earned by overwork.

The question of railway management
is being agitated in England to quite as
large an extent as in the United States,
and the people over there seem to be
quite as deeply interested, if not so ex-
cited, over the matter as those in our
own country. Popular sentiment seems
to favor the purchase of the roads by
the Government, and the running of
them for the public good. A careful
estimate of the cost of these roads, made
in 1872, put the sum at $500, 900, 900, or
about 81, 500, 600, 900. At this cost, Gov
eminent could carry freight and passen-
gers much cheaper than they are now
carried, and still pay Al per cent. on the
money invested. But the railway COM
panies, thinking they might be obliged
to part with their property, have been
making up valuation of their lines,
which amounts to just double that made
about year ago. This statement has
been extensively circulated with a view
OF convincing the public that it would
be losing operation for the Govern
ment to undertake the management of
railroads. The railroad men contend
that rs the roads would only pay 2, per
cent, on the investment, the people
would have to be taxed to run them,

The Havana correspondent of the
New York Hcraid writes
Gen. IgnatIus Agramonte, dying as
he did, CALAMITY leading on his small
band against the Spanish troops, fell
into their hands lifeless martyr to the
glorious cause for which he gave his
life blood.
The possession of his remains was
signal to return to their posts, precipi-
tated by the demoralizcd state into
which the troops had fallen. The ar
rival of the corpse mt Puerto Principe
was attended by the same demonstra-
lions on the part of the volunteers as
would be seen by the display of Il guam
tity of raw beef before the cage of Il
dozen bloodthirsty tigers.
His remains were exposed to the view
of these barbarians, ostensibly for iden-
tlfication, but really for the qualification
of their iendish pleasure. Thus cx-
posed, the body remained until dis
posal of it was found necessary, much
to the regret of its never firing congre-
CATION. Consultations of the volunteers
as to what would be the appropriate
memorials for the illustrious departed
were frequent, the uncxceptional result
of which were repeated clamors for his
body, their intention being to drag his
naked corpse through the town at the
tail of mule. These were, however,
frustrated by the officers in command
| for the no less horrible decision of fill
ing the body with petroleum and set
| ting fire to it. The latter programme
was carried out, to the intense satisfao-
ton of a numerous concourse of voluu-
tccrs of high official standing and their
subordinatcs. 70 commemorate the
occasion, part of the ashes of the dead
hero was deposited in two bowls or
vases, and now adorn the President S
room in the Casino Espanol in Puerto
Principe.

THE New York Xcrald has for years

ton of distancing all its contemporaries
in the matter of gathering and printing

ways managed to distance all COMPETE
ton in securing important information
and forwardingit to eiremployers. But
for once, at least, a Hcraid representa-
tive has been beaten, and Il San Fran
cisco man is credited with the glorious
achievement. Gen. Meacham, of Mo-
doc fame, thus relates to the editor of
the Des Moines Register how it was

and the first correspondent offered him
fifty dollars to carry dispatch to Yreka

distension, death may occur at any
