The poodle IL a small dog, with sore
eyes, and hid amungst II good deal of pro-
mskuss hair.
They are sumtimes white for color, and
their hair iz tangled all over them, like the
hair ov young turkey.
They are kept az pets, and like all other
pets, are az stubborn az setting hen.
n poodle liz woman's pet, and that
makes them kind ov sakrcd, whatever Il
woman luvs she wOrships.
have seen poodles that almost want
ed tcw swop places with, but the owners
ov them didn't akt to me as tho they want
ed tew trade for emmy thing.
Thare IL but few things on the face ov
this earth more utterly worthless than n
poodle, aud yet am glad tharc il poodles,
for if thare wasn't tharc IL some people
who wouldn't hav emmy objelit in living
and hav nothing tew luv.
Thare IL nothing IN this world made in
vain, and poodlcs are good for leas.
Feas are also good for poodles, for they
keep their minds employed in scratching,
and almost every body else's too about
the house.
never knu man tcw keep a poodle
Mans natur liz too koarse for roodles. A
poodle would soon fade and die if n man
waz tew nuss him.
don't expckt emmy poodle, but ifenny
boldly duz Civ me one he must make up
hlz mind tcw be tied onto long stick
every Saturday, and be used for washing
the windows on the outside.
This kind ofnussin would probably make
the poodle mad, and probably he would
quit, but kant help it.
Is hav got tew keep n poodle, he haz
got tew help wash the windows every Sa-
turday. l am solid on this pint.

DWARF TRIES. .-Dwaris are denounced
by at least ninc-tenths of those who pre-
tend to direct pomological matters in the
various rural journals. 1 suppose ii is al
right, but must confess 20 having a kind
OF feeling for the dwarf pear trees, in spite
of all that is said against them, for a thirty
years experience conyinces ne that they
are, with very few exceptions, fully equal
to standards in value. Dwarf pear trees
are like improved breeds Of cows or horses :;
they require extra care to produce extra
results, therefore. the negligent cultivator
had better let them alone. suppose this
is very good reason for Recommending
standards, because not one man in ten will
properly take care Of either; and under ne =.
glcct the latter probably stands little tho
best chance 70 live. Early maturity and
great prodiCtivcness caused the failure ofa
majority OF dwarf pear orchards, the greed
owneIs not permitting the thinning out of
the fruit or application of manrre to keep
up vigorous growth. When our people
learn that tree can be worked and starv-
ed to death as well as n horse, then dwarf
pears will again become popular. The few
who know how to manage these trees still
plant them in preference to others, especi-
ally where the grounds are limited to u feH
city lots or acres. Moore'S RtTal.

The man straightway dashes after her. She
comes back again with her head down, her

of stove wood, fruit cans and coal clinkers,
with much putting and very mad man in

to the coop, all the while talking as only
an excited hen can talk, and all the while
followed by things convenient for handling,

Now Discovery ~ Il0RuCULTURE
On the authority Of translation from
4 French journal, an exchange announces
the discovery, that by watering Vegetables
and fruit trees with n solution of suphate
of iron (cop eras), the most astonishing re-
suits are obtained. Applied to growing
beans, they gained GO per cent, on their or
dinary size, while the flavor was much inn
proved. Fruit trees are greatly benefited
by watering with this solution, tie peat
tree especially being improved in thrill
ness of growth and productiteuesa. 1fout
gardeners and fruit growers desire to mako
experiments in this direction, they can be
made very cheaply, as copperas can be pur-
chased at Wholesale at about three cents
per pound.

WATER FOR Cows.--During last sum
mer, in the hot days of July and August,

and, after shaking their thirst, they would
wade into the water, and remain some-
times an hour or two with their legs balf
immersed. This habit was found invaca-
bly, diminish the flow Of milk at night, and,
in order to learn the extent of the d-
minutOn, careful observations were made.
1t was asccrtaincd that standing in the wa

amount Of eight or ten quarts IN 4 herd OK
thirteen cows. The loss was so great that
whenever they reSortcd TO The water they
were driven away to the pasture at onCc.
We have learned that from simply turning
the herd into the yard upon a cold day in
winter, and allowing them fifteen minutes,
the flow of milk was diminished to sc Ri
Gus extent, and consequently the animals
are not now allowed TO leave the warm
stable during the entire winter, except fol
brief period upon warm sunny days. Wa

barn, and the drinking vessels are arrang'

SWEET POTATO CULTURE.-A. J. Green
of Tennessee, says Having had twelve
years experience, will give my plan of
transplanting potato slips. Some persons
wait for seasons to set slips. This is unne-
cessary. | cultivated last year ten or
twelve acres in sweet potatoes, and ! set
them without waiting for. q season. NV
plan is to have my land well prepared and
free from clods the beds freshly thrown
up, about three feet apart. / would hero
speak Of the great benefit of the potato
rdgcr, which every man can have at little
cost by taking the common shovel or bull
tongue pow and put on wooden wings.
Have them about three feet apart at the
points. This ridger is capable of throwing
up from four to five acres per day with one
horse, after being bedded with the plow,
which is more than equal to ten or twelve
hands with hoes.
Ny plan for setting Slips is this Having
got both plants and ground ready, no mat
ter how dry the weather is, l proceed to
plant by hauling to the field a barrel of wa
ter, which is sufficient to set ten thousand
plants. Take bucket and fill with water
and mix in dirt until the whole is of that
consistency best to stick to the roots of tho
slips. Take twenty or thirty Slips in your
hand at time, straighten and even them,
then dim them IN the mud nearly to the
bottom leaves. Drop fifteen inches apart
and set them well in the ground TO the bot
tom leaf. The dirt shoud 0e we'll pressed
TO the roots.
recommend farmers and gardcrers to
try this plan, rs deem it greatly to their
interest. l have pursued this plan for sew
eral years and find it successful, having
but few to replant. Ny yield is generally
from one hundred to three hundred bushela
per acre, according to variety Of the potato
