mare Little Pet, driven by Harry Quinn;
VIM. Heckart's bay mare Mother Goose, dri-

The score was as follows: Little Pet, 3, 1, 2, 3;
Mother Goose, 2, 3, %; Jllard, 1, 2, /, l.
The purse was $50 to the first, S35 to the
second and $15 to the third horse.
The second race, also for best three in FIVE
was between Morgan Mitchell's Laurel Bios
som, driven by John Payne; Peter Pollard's
Thomas b., driven by Mr.. Kagle, and the
bay stallion Winchester, belonging to Mr.
Killcnstine, of Baltimore county, and driven
by Harry Quinn. The score stood Laurel

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PARKToN-The
store and hotel at Parkton, Baltimore coun-
ty, kept by G. NJ. Stifller, was burned with
their entire contents on Monday morning, Mr..
Stifller and his family barely escaped with
their lives, not even saving their clothing,
except what they had on when leaving their
beds. Mr.. Stiffler was awakened at two
o'clock in the morning by the cracking of
the fire, which had already progressed so far
that escape by the front stairway was cut off.
They got out, however, by the back stairway
On reaching the outside Of the burning
house the parents discovered that their
youngest child had been left behind. The
father finding that he could not reach the
room where the child lay by the stairway,
climbed to the top of the porch, and getting
in window, reached the little one as it was
overcome by smoke. He reached the roof of
the porch and there fell exhausted, and it
sufficiently to hand the child down and let
himself down safely. Mr.. Stfiler thinks the
store was robbed and then set on fire. All
Of the stock in the store, valued at $4,000,
the furniture, valued at 500, and $3.50 in
money, which was in the bed room of Mr..
Stitfiler, persisted in the flames All of the
records and papers connected with the post
office, which was kept in the building, togeth-
with about a dozen letters, about $50
worth of postage stamps and 1000 postal
cards, were among the articles burned The
total loss upon the property is estimated at
$3.50, of which $500 is covered by insur-
ance. OF this amount $4,000 is in the Har-
ford Mutual Insurance Company, $500 in the
Baltimore county company and 1000 in a
Baltimore city company. Mr.. Stfller also
lost his books, containing accounts amount

THE Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.


Among the smaller fruits generally cultivated
in farmers garden, there is none more valu-
able or more worthy of cultiva ton than the
currant. Although of later years the depreda-
tions of the current worm have greatly depre-
preciated the quantity and quality of"this ex-
cellent fruit, think with proper care and at
tention they can be greatly diminished if not
entirely prevented.
About fifteen years ago received as pres
emf, cuttings of the following varieties: White
Grape, White Dutch, White Crystal. Cherry,
Mays, Victoria, Large Red Dutch and Black
Naples. After planting in the usual manner,
1 took particular pains to cultivate them well:
Every spring the ground has been top dressed
profusely with ashes, leached and unleached,
well incorporated with the soil under and
around the bushes, and has been kept free
from grass and weeds. Immediately after this
application they are mulched with barnyard or
chip manure. The result has been that have
never failed of large crop of the finest and
largest fruit. and entirely free from the worm.
Near these bushes (perhaps sixteen rods
away 1 have some of the old common varie-
ties, which have not been similarly treated, but
left to take care of themselves, and as conse-
quence they are nearly destroyed by the worm,
the leaves during the past two summers being
entirely, and many of the smaller twigs totally
destroyed. l have come to the conclusion,
therefore, that the larvae of the currant worm
lie dormant during winter in the ground near
the bush they intend to attack the next season,
and that mixing wood ashes with the soil des-
troys them. do not profess to be an entomol-
ogist, but can certainly arrive at no other con-
clusion. am now growing quite number of
punches in the tree form; i. e. one bush only in
each place, six feet apart each way. The ad-
vaptages consist of easier cultivation, easier
gathering, and larger and firer fruit.
A crop of early vegetables can be raised
between the rows if desired, and to accomplish
this, cut all the eyes from the shoot used for
cutting as far as it is stuck in the ground, aud
there will be no suckers or sprouts to interrupt
its growth. A few may be permitted to grow
in bush form, in order to produce cuttings for
future use.-N. Y. Sum-

The Snowflake Potato.

Since the introduction of the Early Rose
there have been host of new seeding potatoes
brought out, all highly lauded as something
better than what we already possessed, which
in few years would almost entirely disappear,
in consequence of not possessing the requisite
qualities to meet the present views of cultiva-
tors The Snowflake, however, is an exception
it has SO many good qualities and traits that it
is universally liked wherever known. I be-
leve it to be the coming potato, and will prove
as great boon to the potato growing and eat
ing public as the Early Rose has been.
have long contended that, in this latitude,
We could not grow late potatoes profitably,
and we needed an early potato that was Of
good quality, productive, and would keep late
into the following season. These
conditions the Snowflake meets perfectly.
1t ripens about two weeks later than the Early
Rose, is even more productive of beautiful, oval,
hattened white tnbers; eyes even with the sur
face; boils and bakes dry and mealy, and will
keep in tip-top condition until late the follow
ing season. The tubers are medium sized, and
grown close together at the foot of the plants,
which makes easy digging. The plants are
vigorous growers of light green color, which.
covering the whole ground, and effectually
preventing the growth of weeds after the crop
is made. L have grown it three years, and
have never seen a hollow potato, nor has it
ever made second growth and become prongy,
and has alwsys proved uniformly productive.
1t possesses more good qualities than any other
potato that know of, and is bound to become
exceedingly popular.-RaraL World.

She brings us fear; her very death she brings

And, dull with fear more the mavis sings.

Some weight from off my fiuttering mirth to lift?

LIQUID Grating Wax.

A correspondent of the Practical Farmer
gives the following directions for making liquid
grating wax, which, being about the consist
brush for outdoor grating, without the trouble
of heating. 1t is also excellent to cover cuts
made in pruning:
Melt together 10. of rosin and lib. of good
beef tallow. Remove from stove and let cool
until scum forms over it, then add 1 tea
spoonful of spirits of turpentine; replace on
stove and add OF. of mixture of 2 parts
strong alcohol and part water, stirring briskly
and taking care that the alcohol does not in
flame, as it will if the mixture is too hot Stir
until the liquid ia lost in the mixture, when it
should be Of the consistency of honey. Keep
in closed bottle and apply with brush. II
after a month or two it becomes hard, remelt,
add few more drops of the turpentine, and
more of the alcohol and water. A few days
after it is applied it becomes hard, and will
remain unchanged, except that it grows harder,
for an indefinite time.
