A md RlaM.

A Vicksburger who prides himself on his choice
language was over in Louisiana the other day on
business, and stopping at farm house to get a
drink OF water, the woman remarked that the
crops stood in great need of rain.
Yes, rain is the great dissideratnm," he re-
piled, as he handed the tin dipper back.
Mary! Nary yelled the woman, in loud
tones.
A white headed girl of sixteen came out of the
back room in response to the CALL and the moth.
continued:
Take SONAR view of him, Maryl He don't
look as if he knew enough to pillow cotton, and
yet lie just got off a word as long as from
here to the mule pen and back, and he may be
holdin' on to more!"
The Vicksburger walked right away from

SAVED THE MULE.-On one of the Anchor line
boats the other day was young man of decent
look, but good deal the worse for whskey. He
persisted in singing at the top of his voice, and
it was the poorest kind of singing
After brief pause, he removed his hat and
said:

LATE PoTAToEs.-It would be the part of pru-
dence, as q preventive of the rot to sow a mix
ture of equal parts of lime and salt over the
vines of your late potatoes. Do it in the morn
ing when the dew is on them. Should your po-
tatoes not be affected with the rot, your time
will not be lost neither will the cost of the
lime and salt, as both will tell in your next
years crop, and in order that the benefit may be
general, you had best broadcast the ground BE-
tIreeR, as well as upon, the tops of the rows.

WEEDs.-Turn your attention to these pests,
and go to work with a determination to extir-
pate every one that encumbers your fields, fence
sides and fence corners, and while you are carry
ing your praissworthy resolution into effect
recconect, that by casting them into your cow
yard or hog-stys, and converting them into ma.
nure, you may make them contribute towards
the growth of your crop next wear. and this re-
pay yourself for their having robbed YOUR soil
of its riches thus. Take our word for it, that
this is as profitable labor as you can employ q

Then cover the cucumbers with fresh vinegar,
