Farmers should be on their guard. A ne W
dodge of swindling has been put in operation
Several strange men drive through an agricul-
tural district. They stop at all the farm houses
and make contract to take all the butter the
farm can furnish at fifty cents per pound. Fur
ther, it will be gathered up by fast special
teams and the cash paid for it at the door, The
pretense is hat during the fall and winter, the
large cities will he overcrowded and that but
ter will be scarce. In this way all the farmers
in 4 district are contracted with, and arrange
ments are made to come for their butter on GER
tain days and at certain points the contract to
60 into effect in two weeks. A few days after
the departure of the men drove of COWS comes
along. They are fine looking milk COWS. The
farmers having good thing in view think
they might use few more COWS. They try to
buy them and the drover doesn't seem to be
anxious to sell Finally, however, he is in
duced to sell two or three to each farmer at pri-
ces considerably higher than the real market
value He then departs, meets his partners,
who put up the butter job, and they divide their
profits. That is the last the farmer hears OF

A destructive insect known as the Carpet
bug" has made it's appearance, TO the great dis.
gust and dismay ofhouse-keepers. 1t is entire
ly different in appearance and habits from the
well known carpet moth" 1t conceals itself
beneath the borders of carpets nailed to the
floor, and eats away those portions. Occasion
ally it locates itself in the cracks of the floor,
following which it cuts across entire breadths Of
carpets, leaving line which seems to have
been cut by the scissors. 1t destroys new as
well as old carpets which, however, are not its
only food, IA it nfests wearing apparel hanging
in closets or laid away in drawers. Unlike
moths, it is said to prey upon cotton fabrics. In
some parts of New York state it has created &C.
sious alarm. 1t is advisable for our lady rea-
9ers to wage instant and active warfare against
the pest should it make its appear ance here.

An exchange sagely remarks; We observe
that the greediest man after a newspaper is the
one who is too mean to subscribe. He is al
ways in waiting for the latest paper, and it is
not two minutes on the owners premises till the
non.subscriber pounces upon it and never lets
up till the last line is read, and then perhaps
casts ii aside with the remark that he could
make a better paper himself" lie can be call
cd the newspaper fiend" and there are others
like unto him. One Of these is the chap who
steals newspapers from door steps, front yards
and other eligible locations and yet another is
the fellow who subscribes for paper and re-
fuses to pay for it, All such will surely reap
their reward-and it WON'T b0 an icy one.

On Pine Creek the other day, Il lad of twelve
years, by the name of Clark Jackson, while out
cunning for birds with his dog, the latter treed
catamount of large size, The lad at once
planted charge of bird-shot in the animal,
which had the effect to bring him quickly to
the ground. The catamount attacked the dog,
while the boy ran to the aid of the dog. In the
fight his gun was broken, but he killed the cat
amount. He made his appearance at home
with the gun-barrel and the dead catamount,
The dog looked as if he had just got through a
hard winter lie told his folks that he cared
little for the fight he only regretted the loss Of
his gun.-Gazette Il Bulletin.
