and cheap as dirt at twenty-five cents pei

be any higher than any other meat lie

the human system, that those eating il
would partake for time, not only Of the
meat, but Of the nature Of the animal

Now my wife isn't an angel. so bought
four pounds aud paid that man dollar

paper around it aud put it down in hi.
pocket Then he slapped his pocket to see
If it was there. lie then went on to say
that sometimes when the bile wasn't right
the meat had the contrary effect and made
the woman growl and sometimes in place
of wanting to hug her husband she would
want to hug the man that killed the bear.
| told him didn't like bear meat, and
never did that felt sick that owed a
man the dollar and he would sue me if |
did not pay him right off, But he told me
he had Just paid his internal revenue tax
and hadn't cent in the world. thought

Dlnlcultic, of watermelon Culture.

" Now can the watermelon be successfully
cultivated on sandy soil, in a rural town Of
four thousand inhabitants, and an institute
located near by containing one hundred and
twenty students studying for the ministry
This question excited considerable comment
and loud discussion among the ogriculturists
present at meeting of THE Ilaysceds ~
in Cleveland, and nearly an hour and a
half was spent in discussing the same. An
old green grocer, who had raised early and
late vegetables for the market twenty
years Of his early life, said he could raise
melons on top Of barn, or on a billiard
table even, let him pick the locality and
his neighbors. 1t was not so much the soil
nor season, that the melon depended upon
for its perfection, as it was the peculiari.
ties Of the inhabitants of the country round
about. Where there was an excess Of col.
ored citizens, it was almost as impossible to
raise paying crop of melons as it was to
keep spring chickens unless they roasted al
night in a Herring's safe. Then again
colleges have bad effect upon the melor
crop, and even a minister's family Of sever
boys has been known to blight large patel
in single night.
In sections of country where these draw
backs exist, the speaker had learned tina
the only method to insure full a crop o
melons was to station man by each meloI
from the time it was the size Of hens eg,
until it ripened. This was expensive, bu
the result was always gratifying. As tn
fruit grew in size and approached ripening
the speaker had found it necessary to sta
ton two guards over each melon, and eve
then, in communities where too grea
fondness for these luscious products existed
he had known Of the inside of watcr-melo
being stolen and devoured when two me
with clubs were seated on shell or rinC

Milch Cows ana Their Treatment.
BY ANDREW J. uoLLIsrER.


At this season of the year mich cows
need the best of treatment See that there
are no vermin upon them. If there are,
treat them to dose of kerosene and lard
oil-one part kerosene to three parts of
lard oil, poured along the back, and carded
thoroughly, Afterwards, at this season of
the year the thoughtful farmer will have
plenty Of good early-cut hay, in sufficient
quantity to cause bis cows to give full
flow of milk after calving As it is time
that the cows Of the Vermont diaries are
about to calve, they should have extra care
Cows that are thin in flesh should have ex.
ira mess, either Of meal or potatoes. Be
sure that your COWS have plenty of pure
water twice day. 1t is of as much i'm
portance that a COW has full supply of
water as it is of feed Keep them most of
the time in the stable, except in very
pleasant weather. The Hon. Nathaniel
Eaton told me, more than twenty years
ago, that when he could be sure and have
each of his cows supplied with a peck of
potatoes day one week before calying, he
never had any trouble from their not cast
ing the after.birth. Whenever have fol-
lowed his directions, have never failed
having my cows do well at calving. After
your cow has dropped her calf, you should
examine and see if her bag is caked If you
find it hard and swollen, commence and
draw the milk gradually by hand before the
calf has sucked. After milking what you
can, let the calf suck, and you will have no
more trouble with her bag, if you keep her
MIXED clean twice day. When her bag
is all right, if you choose, increase her milk
by giving her milk-producing food-such
as shorts, and oat and corn meal. In SO
doing, you will have good COW that will
return large profit through the season.
