Obituary.

Little HARVEY D., infant son Of w. T.
and Sallie l.. Parham, was born December
oath. 1876, and died October 18th, 1877.
The su ject of this notice was very
interesting child-he was Of more than
ordinary promise-was the pet of all W o
knew him; the pride of his parents anu
the object of their hearts deepest Rffec-
tons. But, Notwithstanding all this the
Infinite one, who gave, saw fit to take
him unto himself again. Yes, while he
was yet clothed with the beautiful gar
ments of infantile purity, and
''E re sin could blight or sorrow fa e,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there.
Then dear parents weary not, for all is
well--with your dear
child. Hereafter your little HARVEY wi /
welcome you into everlasting habita-
tons God bless the parents l.. I.

SLEEPING WITH TIE MOUTH OPEN
DIR. johnson SAYS the cause in most
cases proceeds from obstruction of the
nasal air passages by acute or chronic
catarrh, owing to which it is not easy
to breathe in the natural way; the
mouth is opened for the better inhalation
OF air, and thus the habit is formed. In
some instances. however, the cause is
simply habit which the person has fall
len into carelssslv, helped along, un-
doubtedly, by debilitated condition Of
the body, The cure for it consists in
getting rid of the obstruction of the mas
al passages, and the improvement of the
general bodily health; but more partic-
ularly, think, in the establishment of
a right consciousness in regard to the
matter. / have known of several in
stances where q cure was effected bv
bringing tie will of the person to bear
upon the habit. Fix your mind firmly
and with determination upon this point.
that you must keep your mouth shut
when you go to sleep; have some per-
son for awhile wake you up when your
mouth drops open. In this way you
will get control of the matter in a little
while.

Farmer says h. relation to using kero-
scne oil to exterminate squash bugs:
1.-TWO years ago had fine let of Hub.
bard squash vines in my garden, and
was anticipating handsome WELD.
when, suddenly, I observed here and
there patches in which the leaves began
to turn yellow and then brown, aud on
examination found them covered with
this NEST annoying pest. l Immediately
begun trying plaster, then ashes. then
gas lime, but to no purpose. They were
too numerous and the vines too luxuri-
ant TO attempt their destruction by hand {.

it occurred TO me that | would try what
virtue there was in kerosene. | took

enough of that fluid to moisten the ashes
and fill them with strong perfume,
but not TO convert into paste. threw
several handluls into each spot where
the enemy vas at work. OF course
watched the result curiously and anx-
ioCsly. After day or two | observed
that there was no increase of the lep-
rous blotches in the squash bed. made
careful inspection and found that the
miscreants had retreated. After that
kept up the treatment whenever I saw
indications of q new attack. But had
no occasion for severe exercise on this
account

Uses FOR OLD PAPER.-Never throw
away old paper. If you nave no wish
to sell it, use it in the house. Some
housekeepers prefer it to cloth for clean
ing many articles Of furniture. For in.
stance. volume written by lady who
prided herself on her experience and
tact, says: CATER a stove has been
blackened, it can be kept looking very
well for long time by rubbing it with
paper every morning. Rubbing it with
paper is much nicer way of keeping
the outside of tes-kettle, coffee pot,
and teapot bright and clean than the
old way of washing them in suds. Rub
bling with paper is also the best wav of

ing mirrors, windows, lamp-chimneys,
etc., paper is better than dry CLOTH
Preserves and pickles keep much better
if brown paper instead of cloth is tied
over the jar. Canned fruit is not so apt
to mould if piece of writing paper, cut
to fit the can, 10 laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under a car.
pet than straw. Ii is warmer, thinner,
and makes less noise when one walks

Tight Barns icr Hay.

The general opinion among farmers
probably is, that barns with sir spaces
between the boarding are better adaped
to cure and preserve hay than barns
with very tight boarding and tight
bottom. But this opinion 5 founded
upon The supposed fact that free access
of air Will assist in carryin. off surplus
moisture, and prevent heating aud fer.
mentauon, which supposed fact is not a
fact at all, when applied to body OF
uncured hay. When this incurred grass
is spread in thin layers on the field and
exposed to the air, the moisture is car
ried of so rapidly as not 10 permit any
heating or fermentation, but when
placed in a thick body in . now, the
heat. with access of air, causes rapid fer
mentatioD. The oxygen Of the air feeds
the fermentation, and thus becomes the
active cause of its destruction. This
principle is familiar to the good house
wife who preserves her fruit in an air
tight jar. We tried an experiment some
years ago, which applied this principle
to keeping green clover. We took
large linseed oil cask, unheaded one
end, filed it with green clover Just in
blossom, containing all its sap, rammed
in solid, replaced the head, drove the
hoops, and then stopped all air spaces
with white lead and paint. On opening,
ten months after, the clover blossoms
were found almost as bright as when
put in.
Only a few months ago, the EImira
Farmers Club mentioned, as a warning
to one who asked advice about putting
uncured hay in barns, that a member of
the club had lost his barn by fire, caused
BY filling a cask with green clover,
rammed in, and covering the top with
two or three inches of earth. This mis-
hap was caused by not sufficiently ex-
cluding the air. 1t did not inyalidate
the principle that green grass may be
kept in air-tight recepticles, only that
il could not be preserved with excess of
air. Almost every farmer has observed
that grass needs more curing to put in
stack taan in barn, showing that just in J
