" NOTHING ExTRAoRDINARY.n-Col

"NoTHING EXTRAoRDINARY."-Col
Stuart, of the British army, in a book
entitled "Reminiscences of Soldier"
tells this anecdote: When subal-
tern at Gibraltar he was one day on
guard with another officer, who unfor-
tunately fell down precipice four hun
dred feet high and was killed. Now,
my non-military readers should under
stand that in the guard reports there is
a small addendum: N B-Nothing
extraordinary since guard mounting
the meaning of which is that in case
anything particular should occur, the
officer commanding the guard is bound
to mention it. Our friend, however,
said nothing about the accident that
had occurred to his brother officer, and
some hours after the brigade major
came to his quarters, on the part of the
officer commanding, with the report in
his hand to demand an explanation.
The brigade major, addressing him said:
You say, sir, in your report, n. B.
Nothing extraordinary since guard
mounted when your brother officer, on
duty with you, has fallen down preci-
pice four hundred feet high, and been
killed Well SIR replied B., Il
dinna think there's anything extraordi-
nary in it ava; if he'd faun down a
precipice four hundred feet high and ma
been killed, | should haze thought it
very extraordinary indeed, and wad
haze put it down in my report"

MANITRE FOR WHEAT Del

MANURE FOR WHEAT.-The Della
ware STATE JOURNAL says -" Wher-
ever organic matter abounds in the soil
free use of bones and potash will
speedily restore it to its original fertili-
ty. In sandy soils organic matter in
the form of peat, muck or leaf mold,
should be combined with the bones and
potash.-The finer the bones are ground
the more speedy their action. If the
bones are ground in raw state, that
is, without steaming or burning, and
ground very fine and mixed with three
times their weight of fine muck or peat
or leaf mold, and kept moist for three
weeks before being used, they will gen
crate all the ammonia necessary to the
rapid growth of wheat or other grow
ing crops, without the addition of other
substances"

FOR THE DAIRY

SHoRT-HoRNs FOR THE DAIRY-The
very common idea that Short-horn cows
are useless for the dairy is wrong one.
The breeding of Short-horns for beef
has, to a great extent, caused their value
for the dairy to be lost sight of. Origi-
nally these were the best dairy cows,
and the first Duchess gave, during the
Summer, while on pasture only, IA
quarts of milk at each milking, and each
milking yielded 81 ounces of butter
The value of her produce was then two
guineas, or $1,000 week. Charles
Ceilings cows were heavy mixers, one
gave 26 IL quarts at a milking; another
COW gave 10 IL quarts at one milking,

THE DETROIT JUDGE MEETS TAR
TAR.-Mrs. Dane hustled out full of
business, and as she got around in front
of the desk she squealed:
Il demand to see the court"
Madam, " replied his honor, as he
placed his hand upon his heart, "gaze
on me and be happy"
What the charge?" she inquired
in shrill voice, as she turned to him.
Disturbing the peace, by fighting

Never did it-no sir; all a lie |

Slowly and gently, madam, and

honor.

CAKED UDDER.-The following treat
ment is said to be good: The best
remedy we ever tried was to battle it
thoroughly and persistently with tepid
water, and milking clean Some use
salt and water, others salt and vinegar,
but we doubt whether they have any
advantage over the pure water The
udder at such times, is, of course, in
famed, and persistent application of
water will reduce the inflammation, en-
abling you to draw the milk. 1t NAV

move the cake, but we are confident
that three times out of four it will prove

THE Doc WARFARE.-Mr. Dodge, in

THE Doc WARFARE-Mr. Dodge, in
the January Report of the Department
of Agriculture, has the following:
"The warfare of dogs upon sheep
still continues the direct losses are a
million of dollars annually, and, indi-
rectly, even larger sum in the repres-
sion of sheep-husbandry, and the con-
sequent waste of large percentage of
the annual crop of grass; a crop more
valuable than that of cotton or corn,
throughout the Southern States and
elsewhere in all dog cursed sections of
the country. The canine warfare is a
badge of vagabondage, an indication of
savagery and lawlessness inconsistent
with progressive state of agriculture.
In communities where every poor man
keeps dog, and every very poor man
deeps two the average legislative can
didate dares not pledge himself to vote
for a dog law. Until recently, only a
few States in which wool-growing is
prominent had dog laws, which is equiv
aent to saying that the ideas on which
our agriculture was based were print
tive, and its rural processes crude.

HUMOROUS.
The Sewing Machine Man.

That ubiquitous individual, the sew
ing machine man, does not confne his
travels to any particular locality, but is
present everywhere, as the following
pointed remarks from a Utica scribe
will illustrate:
He has been to our house-the sew
ing machine man. There is nothing that
my dog likes for supper, unless tbs two
men for supper; but the dog smiled like
a sucking dove when the sewing ma
chine man came. | learn that the man
had been hanging AROUND the house
pleasant afternoons for a week, getting
acquainted with the dog. | shall be
obliged to kill the dog because all that
was wanted of him was TO keep agents
away from the house, especially sewing
machine agents Sewing machine men
will not steal-at least they never stole
anything from our folks-but if a man
had nineteen sewing machines and one
dollar in money and was starving,
sewing machine man would sell that
chap another machine and take the dol
lar as the first installment, with mort
gage on the other machines as security
for the rest of the payment. sold
machines myself for aswhile, SO l know
something about it.
"The machine came yesterday
Maria met me at the door, when went
to supper, and she said: Joshua, my
dear, Chat was sarcasm) | have got
such nice new sewing machine. The
man brought it to-day. 1t cost ninety
dollars, and it is all paid for Now, to
one acquainted with the finances of the
house at noon, that statement was rather
astonishing | commenced a few inqul-
ries. The machine was not absolutely
paid for, of course not, but that sewing
machine man, by his glitteriDg sophistry,
his unanswerablc logic, his silvery
eloquence, and his limitless barney,
had impressed upon the mind of my
guileless Maria Ann, an idea that when
he came to see how we liked the ma
chine he would bring the money to pay
for it with him provided, of course, we
liked the machine. He felt sure We
would like the machine, 'and he was
gentleman, not at all like some OBJ
trusive agents who insist on leaving a
machine whether you want it or not.

house again, and then of course | shall

dog on one meal ofraw beef and whisky
in two days, to make him savage, but
l have no more confidence in him. The
baby gets into the wheel and makes an
accident of herself every few minutes !;
the canary won't sing unless the ma
chine is running, and the pie is left to
burn while long seam is finished. The
man will come back and will sell the
kitchen stove or the parlor carpet, and
buy the machine. That is the way it
will turn out We shall probably sell
the parlor carpet because it is not paid
for yet, and then the stove is not W orth

can enforce the ordinances against va

sY@A An observing man, who was
travelling on train, noticed a gentle
man and lady seated in close juxtaposi-
ton, and, judging from their conduct,
imagined that they were exceedingly
intimate In front of the comfortable
pair sat two Germans Presently the
train passed through dark bridge
Amidst the rafting of the bridge could
be heard noise that sounded for all the
world like a conclusion of lips AS the
train emerged into daylight, one of the
Germans slowly drew his spectacles
down over his nose, and exclaimed -
well, l tink dish ish bad bridge l
hears him crack one, two, three, four
dimes" The lady drew down her veil,
and for the rest of the trip looked mute
and quiet.

VALUABLE RECIPES.

A CoLERA REMEDY is named by
correspondent of the American Rural
Home, as follows: "This disease is very
easily treated, as follows, for 90 fowls
Take two quarts of wheat bran, and
stir into pot of boiling water; add
one teaspoonfull of saleratus, one ditto
of black pepper; stir it all together,
and place it where all the fowls can get
some-the hotter the better.
REMOVE WARTs-Take a hair from
the horses tail, tie it tightly around the
base of the wart, and every two or three
days repeat 1t will soon be removed
without scar or loss of hair A neigh
Dor had mare with a wart over her
eye; he applied some of the strong
remedies usually used, which worked
down into her eye, causing the loss of
the eye, and part of the upper lid.
KICKING Cows-"W Willis" in the
Ohio Farmer says: If you have kicking
cows, don't fail to put rope around
the COW, just forward the udder, and
draw it up tight. We know of the
worst cases of kicking cured in this way.
INSECTS ON CATTLE.-One who has
tested an kinds of modes for killing lice
on cattle, says that sulphur sprinkled
on the animals and well rubbed in the
hair, and tablespoonful of ginger in
meal daily, for a week, is the simplest,
surest and safest remedy he has ever
tried.
| Ticks ON SHEEP.-A Rural New
Yorker correspondent gives remedy
for ticks, which he SAYS is certain and
powerful: 1t is tobacco stepped in
water; dip your lambs into it about
four days after shearing the old ones, as
the ticks leave the shorn sheep and
collect on the lambs for protection and
warmth. Having experience in this
matter, and the constant care of sheep
from my youth up to my gray hairs,
| feel justified in saying the above.
Use about three pounds of the poorest
kind that you can get for about forty
head.
SULPHUR AND SALT will clear the
lice off calves, it is said.
THE keeper of livery stable says, that
a cribbng horse may be cured of the
practice, by applying strong wash Of
cayenne pepper and hot water to all
the wood work about his stable.
To PREVENT horses from rubbing the
hair off their name and tail, take hall
a teacupful of sharp cider vinegar, pour
on the spot where the rubbing is done
and card it while pouring on, and it
will be found that this simple thing
will stop rubbing down fences, or spoil
ing the looks of the tail in the stable.

heaviest mixers now living is cross
bred Short-horn and Ayrshire COW,
which has given 100 lbs. of milk per
day. 1t is an injustice to this valuable
breed that their milking properties
should he lost sight of in the endeavor
to produce symmetrical carcass, which
may add little to their value as beef
producers only.

THE UNTuRIFT OF FARMERs-In
the American Agriculturist Walks
and Talks " teaches a valuable lesson
in the following anecdote to those wLo
are capable of applying the moral of
the story. 1t is full of wisdom, if farm
ers will only search far it:
Yesterday farmer was driving past
towards the city, on large load of
bright, we'll cured clover hay. | asked
him how much he had on, and what he
would take for the load There is all
of twenty-seven hundred" he said" 1t
takes a big load to make ton," replied,
land l do not think you have much,
if any, over ton, and if you like to
drive it into the barn, l will give you
$40 for it." He scowled at, me, and
drove on toward the city. This was
about nine o'clock in the morning. To-
wards night / saw load of hay drive
up from the city. 1t was my friend of
the morning. He had been in the city
all day with that load Of clover hay
" 1 could not get a single offer for it, D." he
said, Timothy sells readily for SIS to
SIG per ton, but nobody wants clover"
He had 2,160 pounds in the load, and
was glad to take my offer ofthe morning;
not that be wanted money, as he is a
well-to-do farmer, but he evidently did
not want to have his neighbors see
him come back with a load of hay.
l could not but feel sympathy for him,
and took in the hay He lives Is miles
from the city, and had spent long day,
with team, at this busy season, taking
a thirty-mile ride, to sell load of hay
for about what it is worth for manure
And we send millions of dollars out of
the country every year to buy wool, and
all my city friends complain of the high
price of meat, and of the difficulty of
getting good beef, mutton, veal, and
lamb

s#A Kansas farmer purchased a
revolver for his wife, and insisted on
target practice, so that she could defend
her house in case of his absence. After
the bullet was dug out of his leg, and
the cow buried, he said he guessed she'd
better shoot with an axe.

Ut may as well be admitted now
as at a later period. that the temper of
the Sioux Indians who have gone to
Washington is n first rate exhibition.
We are down right glad of the way in
which they have acted and talked, for
it can result only in making the gov
eminent authorities understand them
as we in Wyoming know them. Dis
regarding the provisions of the treaty
of 1865, whenever its terms were in
opposition to their deviltries, they
are never done complaining about
their grievances. Their impudence is
without any conceivable limit. They
do not want leo it seems) to treat for
a surrender of the Black Hills. Very
well! Let the government do its duty
toward them, and as it prevents white
men ~trespassing on their reservation,
it should require them, hereafter, to
remain on their reservations. This
course will open Northern Wyoming
to white settlement, and this much,
at least, the government should see
done. Make the Indians remain
upon their reservation and give pro-
lection to frontier settlers against their
numbering, plundering raids.
