A Sioux CITY lady went to a gallery
to have her picture taken. After put
ting her III position, the artist put the
plate in the camera, and told her to
look at a certain place on the wall.

THERE is livery stable keeper in
Albany who won't let his horse to any
body without exacting a promise that
they will drive slow. One day youth,
who wanted to go to a funeral, applied
to the livery man for horse. "My
friend, you can have one if you'll agree
to drive SLOW" "Well, see here, I'm
going to a funeral, and I'm bound to
keep up with the procession if it kills

A SUNDAY SCHOOL teacher was ex-

1 Scented Bouuupf.

Rather fair looking specimen of the
genus homo, who runs n sewing ma
chine company, and who parts his hair
in the middle, had 2 practical joke
played on HIM a day or two since, at
one of our hotels. 1t seems that he
studiously cultivates the affection of
every young lady he meets, who hap
pens to he in single blessedness. To
add to his attractions he carries a
bouquet Recently whether to excite
the curiosity of the other boarders or
to render 1t more pleasing at the par
ticular time) he had placed at his
chair, awaiting his appearance, a fine
bouquet. The boys thought they would
give him pleasant surprise, and
gently transferred some red pepper
from the castor to the beautiful flow
ers. Some loud sneeziAg and cultural
cursings were heard Immediately after
the bouquet had been applied, and yet
he is not happy.

Ashes in the orchard

-. W. Kaufman, of Des Moines,
Iowa, writes to the Iowa Homestead
that ashes are worth one dollar per
bushel to put about fruit trees. and
that he would not sell his ashes at that
price and do without their use in the
orchard. He has used ashes about his
fruit trees for fifteen years, and during
that time has never seen a borer when
ashes were used. The borer is a terri
bic pest to the fruit grower, and if all
other lmpediments to successful grow.
ing were as easily overcome and con-
trolled as the bOrer then fruit growing
would be very successfully practiced.
At recent meeting of the Fruit
GroWels Association of Ontario, Mr..
Noodle stated that he had been in the
habit OF using unleached ashes as a
manure for his fruit trees, and that he
values them more highly for this pur-
pose than barn-yard manure. If our
farmers knew the value of wood ashes
Tor the garden, and orchard and farm.
they would not sell them for few cents
per bushel. The ashes that they barter
Tor a few pounds of soap would, If
applied to the soil, SO increase their
crops OF fruit and grain rs to yield ten
times the value they now get Tor them.

Autumn Flowing.

Ia all heavy clay soils, and heavy
clay loans, autumn blowing is of great
advantage. The winter frost is a me
chanical pulyerizer and dislntregator
Of such soils, if we viii but put them III
proper condition to be acted upon.
Potash is Que Of the elements of such
soils. and with them one OF the chief
values for the small grain. Tne min
eral Is found under two conditions :;
one fixed, and the other free. The free
potash Is slowly dissolved in water-it
thus unites with sand to form the
coating of the straw. In the other
conditions mentioned it is fixed, and
in that is insolubIe in water, and
like humus, is unfit for food of
plants. To prepare the fixed potash
III the soil-that is, to degenerate it
we must expose it to air, moisture and
heat hence, we must pulverize the
SOIL by the winter frost, to admit of
these conditions. Autumn blowing Is
supposed to kill many insects; that it
does this TO some extent is doubtless
true, but. we apprehend, less than it
has credit for. 1t can be done at a
time when the teams are strong, the
weather cool, and so much of the
spring work Is out of the way : while
for spring wheat and barley 1t is almost
indispensable. -Pr0irje farmer.

are about half million head, of which
number go 900 were received Mt Els
worth, 100, 900 at Wichita, $4,000 at
Cotfeyville and Chetopa, and the re-
mainder at other points. SIX thousand
have been driven to Colorado, Ne
braska and Wyoming; 100, 900 viii be
wintered in Kansas: about $50, GOO
will be taken by packers; 10000 have
been marketed at Kansas City, 80, 600
more will be driven to the territories,
and the remainder wintered near the
Western States. The receipts at Kan
sas City since January 1st have been
81, 600. 1t is estimated that they will
reach 800, 600 for the year, against
$50, 600 last year. The total value OF
the cattle driven into Kansas this year
will amount to 81, 500, 900.

FARM AND HGUSEHOlD.
Helping Chickens tn Hatch.

e'
The poultry bOoksgenerally discoun-
tenance the idea of aiding weak chick
ems to hatch. There certainly should
be no haste in this kind of chicken
midwifery, but the rule, while good,
has its exceptions. 1t often happens
that chicken will pick hole in the
SHE'LL In such case death is certain
If there Is no aid from some quarter
When a chicken fails to make any pro-
gress for several hours under such cir
cumstances there must be no hesitation
about protfering aid; it is a case of
life or death, with the chances in our
favor. Chip off most of the shell care
fully with the point of knife blade,
and put the chicken under the hen.
Great care should be taken not TO press
the chick more than is absolutely nee
essary, and not to draw blood in
loosening her down from the wrapper
inside the shell. If blood is drawn the
chances for saving life are narrow, still
we have done 1t even when the bleeding
was quite profuse. A chicken which
makes full opening IN the she'll in
the early stages of its labor is very
liable to this difficulty, and should be
watched

Disease IsecOils

From the system that has been invigOrated and
regulated by course of that most benetCent of all
vegetable elixirs, nostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Such at least, is the inference are compelled to
draw from the testimony of thousands of persons
residing in unhealthy districts who attribute their
escape from the epidemic and other complaint which
prevail ii ere in the spring and autumn solely to the
use of this great protective and preventive medi-
cine. Many western and southern farmers and
planters, invariably as they and plant in The
spring and reap and gather in the fall, administer
it at those seasons to their families and employees
and take it themselves from twice to three times a
day. The demand for it in the fever and ague dis
tricts bordering the Mississippi Ohio and
Arkansas Rivers is immense; and wherever the
natural conditions such as to generate inter-
miten remittent fevers it is held in the highest
esteem, both antdote to the atmospheric virus
which provokes them, and swift and certain
remedy for those distressing forms of disease. 1t
is almost unnecessary to say that this renowned
tonic and renovator Is now generally accepted a
standard specific for indigestion, biliousness,
distemper, rheumatism, physical weakness
and mental despon iency, not only by the public at
large, but by all unprejudiced medical men. The
vast popularity of the Bitters has of course led to
many counterfeits and limitations against which the
community requested to be on their guard.

A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman writes I" After repeated
experiments during the past twenty
five years IN Matching chickens, / am
fully convinced that fowls Matched in
the month of July make far better lay
ers than those born as any other season
of the year. Early Matched chicks com
mence laying in September, and
continue until cold January weather,
when they discontinue until spring.
On the other hand, when Matched in
July or August, they begin laying in
February, and continue until October
L find July chickens will average 50 to
IS more eggs yearly, than those Matched
III March. Ny method, therefore, is to
hatch 100 chicks i'll August for nv
own use. As soon as the cocks can be
selected from the pullets, they are
converted into pot-pie, giving the
puliets all the room. The pullets are
then well fed, and are soon large
enough to care for themselves.
The light Brahmas have always been
my most profitable and favorite fowl !;
but with great reluctance ! am obliged,
after three years trial, to place the
Partridge CochlnS at the head of the
list. As layers they excel any Asiatic
breed | have ever known, and as mar
ket fowls they have no equal. They
are very hardy, mature early, and maro
hort-legged, yellow-feshed, lea,,

SINCE February. They are superior

superior value OF thoroughbred stock.

Very many farmers who rely in part
for their profits on the horned cattle
they keep, continue to grow only the
unimproyed, inferior varieties which
have descended to them from the
random stock kept by their forefathers.
The following analysis of the reported
results of two auction sales in Illinois

such farmers the wisdom OF exchanging
their scrubby cattle for improved
breeds. The first of the sales referred
to was of short horn. cattle owned by
