Glue Pots.

Nothing about a house is
more useful than a glue pot, SO
many things may be repaired
by means of. it. If the knobs
on the bureau drawers become
loose they eau be speedily fas-
tened again by the timely appli-
cation Of a little glue. If the
thread Of the screw has become
worn, put on some glue, and
then wind on some fax or tow
if you have it, or a soft rag, then
put on some more glue, and fas-
ten on the knob and it is all
right. If pieces Of veneering
fall off the furniture they can
be replaced by means Of glue
and a feather, and any thing
else Of the kind also. l can
think of no wedding present
which, for the expense, would
be more useful to a working
housekeeper, or cause the Civ
er to be oftener remembered
with kindly feeling than a gift
of one of these little convenient
ces.-FdrmeT'S fife.

Crop Prospects in West
Tennessee.

Taken as whole, crop pros
poets throughout the Western Di-
vision are gloomy. From Mem
phis on the line of the Louisville
road, as far north as Brownsville,
good rains have fallen at intervals,
and as consequence corn, cot
ton aud grasses look finely; but
above Brownsville for many miles
on either side of the road, and as
far as the State line, a general
drouth has prevailed since April,
till within the last few days, when
light rains have fallen in localities.
The corn looks badly, and the
yield will not be half the aver.
age one. Cotton is free from in-
sects, and although spotted" will
yield an average crop; more grass
es than usual have b.en sown,
fruit is wormy and backward, and
about the only full yield is the
wheat crop, which is the finest
ever raised in this section of the
State.

Peas with Corn and Oats
with Cotton.

As q rule, one crop on the
ground at one time is enough,
and all crowding is Improbable.
AS a partial exception, we adj
wise peas with corn, and in
some cases the small grains
with cotton, as they make most
of their growth after the origi-.
nal crop has ceased to require
the soil, and We repeat here in
structions given last year on
this point: Goats may be sown
at the last working Of cotton,
no extra labor being required,
except the broadcasting of the
lpEoughs; but oats sown so ear
.ly in the season require to be
fed off before the final picking
Of the cotton, to prevent them
from prematurily throwing up
the seed stem. Sheep do this
WORK, with great Den3Ht TO
themselves and with no damage
to the cotton, provided, Of
course, that they are out as
soon as the oats are we'll crop
ped. Wheat, sown later, re-
quires to be covered with the
plough or cultivator. During
the winter, the cotton stalks
must be broken down, when
the grain will have full posses
sion of the field. This plan
has been found to work well,
when the land has been in good
condition and is worthy Of a
more extensive trial, where
labor and mule-power arescarce;
but it does not permit that
thorough preparation of the
land necessary to the best re-
suits in small grain culture. .

A Race-Course Episode,

In the third heat of the run
ming race at Westminster, Mo,
not long since, an accident occurred
which might have caused the death
of a half grown negro who was
standing upon the track. Two or
three OF the horses had already
started, but Stranger was just
coming up to the stand ct fall
speed, when the boy stepped on
the track directly in the way. In
an instant the horse had struck
the boy, and extended him at full
length, senseless in the dust. As
the animal passed over him some
bystanders drew the unconscious
boy from the track, and quickly
summoned physician. 10 the
relief of the great crowd the inju-
~ received proved not to be seri-
Gus, although it was almost mir
acle that death had not resulted.
The horse, after striking the boy,
stumbled and threw his rider to
the ground. The spirited animal,
however, notwithstanding his bad
: luck, was determined not to be
beaten, and recovering himse f
and perceiving his companions
speeding on their way around the
track, he set off after them at
tremendous speed. Amid loud ap.
plause he kept steadily on his
way, the reins dangling loosely on
his neck, and soon overlook Oys-
ter House, who was in the lead
Neck and neck the two ran until
they came to the home stretch,
when Stranger took the lead, and
maintained it to the end. His
gallant conduct was, however, of
no avail. although he crossed
the string first, yet the heat had
to be gwen against him.

Did any of your readers ever
think of the amount of travel il
takes to raise a crop Of corn?
never saw an illustration in print,
and | thought | would give you
one. Ihave twenty acre field,
forty by eight rods. To break
this up would take one hundred and
sixty miles. Narrowing it, about
forty miles. Furrowing out nine
ty miles if with a planter and if
dropped and then covered, ninety
miles. And for each blowing of
two burrows in each row, ninety
miles, or all plowings, four hun
dred and fifty miles. Thus, you
see, it takes about eight or nine
hundred miles of travel to raise
twenty acres of corn, not counting
going to and returning from the
field; beside there is replanting,
thinning, rolling etc.-I'ad. Far

Treat felons with hot water
No cutting, no blistering, on any
thing, but immerse the finger,
hand, or even the whole arm if
necessary, in water as hot as can be
borne, until the pain is gone and
the core is lcosened and drawn
from the bone. When rusty
nails have produced wounds the
