way Of getting right down to the people,

He would go 10 log rolling or q barn
raising, work heartily all day, and when
the task was done would mount q stump
and make q speech 10 his fellow work.
men In such winning and Ikillful way
that no partisan opponent could resist
him. And then he won the undying e.
teen Of the Virginia mRtrons by the
hearty manner in which their babies
and frequently themselves were kissed.
This gave him an element Of strength
that was irresistible In q campaign; Tor
with the ladies as his advocates he could
bid defiance 10 all the stump speeches

The bride was then placed upon the

ward with a richly trimmed cushion,
bearing the bridal presents-a watch and
chain, diamond brooch and earrings,
and bracelets, and large knitted purse
filed with gold.
| asked my guide how he was able to
give such expensive presents, and was
told that all her dover was made over to
him the day before the wedding. After
giving the jewels the bridegroom parted
the veil and placed the jewels on his
bride, and then she descended from the
chair and all proceeded to the supper
room. There she was lifted by the men
and seated astride small barrel of wine,
and the feast commenced. She was
obliged to sit there till all the wine was
drank out of that barrel, which was near
ly two hours. She looked tired enough
before all was over, for she got nothing
to eat at all. The Armenians are good
eaters, think, by the way they cleared the

Paris Green.

LAST year, when the demand for Paris
green arose in consequence of the potato
beetles depredations, a large quantity OF
adulterated green was thrown upon the
market and sold at full prices. Several
grades are manufactured, ranging in price
from twenty to forty cents a pound. 1t is
put up in cans containing fourteen or
twenty-eight pounds, and when purchased
in these from well known dealers may be
regarded as pure. As the average farmer
does not require a whole can, two or three
individuals will find it to their advantage
to club together, ordering directly from
the factory. There are two ways of using
the greenl First, in the form of powder,
mixed with forty or fifty times its bulk of
plaster, or flour, or fine niddlings, and
busted over the potato tops. Second, as
a liquid, mixing tablespoonful of the
green with twelve quarts-that is to say,
about pailful-of water, sprinkling it
with coarse brush. The liquid method
is believed to be the best, as the operator
is far less likely to be poisoned.
In handling the green great care is
necessary Packages should be invariably
marked "poison'' in large letters. In
mixing it fine dust is apt to arise, and
this unconsciously inhaled or absorbed
through the pores is apt to be injurious,
While working with it the hands and face,
and especially the nostrils, should be pro
tected as much as possible, and carefully
washed after the job is done. Utensils in
which it is placed should never be used
for any other purpose, as the green pene-
trates wood and lodges in the cracks OF
metals and in the pores of earthenware.
Scratches on the person, however slight,
develop into malignant sores If the green
effects lodgment. The free use of milk
as a beverage is undoubtedly good anti
dote, but the best is Lydrated peroxide of
iron. This may be had of any druggist.
1t is quite harmless, Used as salve on

THE RuraJ Neso Yorker, in answer to a
question, advises against the feeding OF
sour milk to cows. 1t says:
We have in the germ theory an explana-
ton of the manner in which milk is
changed from its normal condition and
rendered unfit for human food. 1t has
been proved that stagnant water-the
water from filthy pools-is alive with or
ganisms, either animal Or vegetable, that
make it unfit for use or to allow COWS to
drink. 1t has been shown by the inyesti
cations Of Prof. Law that living organ
isms can be carried in water through the
body of the cow into her milk and retain
their vitality. 1t has been proved by ex-
perrin ent that by feeding cows distillers'
Stops the yeast-plant peculiar to brewers
yeast has thus been conveyed to the milk
and has been found growing therein.
The acidifying germs in sour whey, when
fed to milk cows, retain their vitality in
the milk of such cows, causing it to sour
prematurely. Numerous well-authenti-
Gated cases are recorded where milk has
been injured by the COWS breathing the
foul odors of decomposing animal mat
ter-the emanations from purifying car
cases of calves and horses left exposed
in the pasture Hence it must be evident
that sour milk when fed to mich COWS
must have more Or less influence on the
milk Welded by the COWS, affecting it's
favor and rendering it more susceptible
to decomposition than it would be if this
character of food was not given to the
cows.
But if milk is liable to be injured and
tainted from the causes we have named,
as we'll as from great many other causes,
such as ordinarily cause the various dis
eases incident to the animals, neglect in
the case of dairy utensils, uncleanliness
in milking, ETC.. etc., we increase the diff
ficulty by putting such milk back into the
bodies of the cows to be again used over
in the process of secretion, and sowing
again the seeds Of decomposition for a
crop of bad milk.
Again, as matter of profit, we are of
the opinion that sour milk can be used
with more advantage as food for hogs
than for cows. Sour milk makes a good
diet for swine, and in connection with
grain is said to give most excellent
flavor to the meat. Indeed, it is asserted
that no food, in connection with grain or
meal, is better suited for fattening hogs
than milk, both for the increase of weight
and quality of meat which it makes 1t
is undoubtedly good, healthy food for
swine, and is better adapted to the making
of meat in this class of animals than the
production of milk in cows. The best
food for mich cows is good, sweet grass
from upland pastures. 1t can be produced
more cheapIv than sour milk, and with
the light of our experience and observa-
ton we should say that more profit can
be realized by feeding such milk TO swine
than to cows.
