The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-10-18

In Jsnua- or February last mild
appearing individual appeared to a
young lawyer of this city. He claimed
to be w. w. Hall, from Hicks county,
Tenn, and bore sworn testimonials to
his identity from various persons of
note in that region. He also pre-
sented a physicians certificate that
he was internally injured, and repre-
sented to the lawyer that he received
his hurt at an accident on the Boston
and Providence railroad short time
before. He didn't really want to de-
mand any money Of the company, but
he thought that ut least he should re-
ceive his expenses. So the lawyer, who
says he never saw q man who so inn
pressed him as truthful and honest, es-
poused his cause. The company COM
promised his claim, and gave him a
check for $500. This he got cashed at
the Continental Bank. Next he APP
peared under the name of Cole, ut the
Office of the New York and New En-
gland railroad, shortly after slight col
lision at Hyde Park had occurred, and
represented himself to have been in
jured in the lungs by the shock. He
had hoodwinked reputable physician
of this city to give him certificate of
disease. His good landlady had also all
her sympathies enlisted in his behalf,
and actually visited the company's Office
and pleaded his cause. To cut the
story short, he get $500 more. The
cashier of the Continental Bank, how
ever, recognized him, and he was
obliged to get his check cashed else
where. The same fellow has, it is un-
derstood, played his game on three of
the street railroads here, and has so well
succeeded in covering his tracks that
there is no danger of his being brought
to punishment. This trick has, it is be-
heved, never been played before in this
country, and only one swindler of the
kind figures in English criminal his
tory.-NeO York Euening Post.

That Greek Word "EOn" Again.

At the semi-annual session of the New
York Synod of the Reformed Episcopal
Church, held in Greenpoint, NY, few
days ago, the subject of Hell" was
brought up by resolution expressing the
synod's belief that the eternal punish
ment of those who die in their sins is
tremendous truth taught in the word of
God. The Hon. Stewart l.. Woodford,
Chairman, and one of the most promi-
nent laymen in the Reformed body,
vigorously opposed the resolution, de-
claring in general his disbelief in the
existence of hell. The resolution was
passed, however, and the General Coun-
Gil is asked to recognize the doctrine at
its next meeting.

Antiquity Of Ball-Playing.

The game of ball, in some shape or
other, is traced back as far as 334 b. G.
In that year Darius, of Persia, demand
ed of Alexander the Great, of Macedo-
MIA, tax of 1000 golden eggs. The
Macedonian King promptly refused,
whereupon Darius sent a bat, ball and
sack of small seeds-the two first to
rldicule his youth and the last to repre-
sent the great number of the Persian
army. The bat is represented as hav-
ing the appearance of the ordinary snow
shovel with the handle cut in two.

Recreant Turks.

Not few of the Turkish officers TAX
en- prisoners during the late war have
accepted service in the armies of their
conquerors. The terms offered them
were liberal and they felt no scruple
about accepting them. Most of them
are to be sent to the Caucasus. Moth
ing, however, could induce the Turkish
privates to follow the example of their
chiefs. The inferiority of the Turkish
officer to the Turkish private soldier in
soldierly qualities has always been in
sisted upon.

1t is, of course, the fact that lawyers,
especially in the country, obtain their
professional education in the offices of
older practitioners, and it is estimated
that only one out of every thirteen ever
enter their names upon the rolls of
law college. The same condition exists,
although not to so great an extent, in
the medical profession, but theological
learning is almost universally acquired
in institutions established for the pur-
pose.
The several schools of practice in
medicine and surgery are represented as
follows.

AsstAw Thsssy Of Tie Dssth Il Csttls in
Can ftal1a.

We notice your Clear Greek CORES
pondeut thinks that II farmers would
pull the smut of the stalks before
turning their cattle In the field, there
would be no danger of them dying.
We have no doubt his experience has
caused him to believe that smut is
what killed them but we can give
him the affidavit of . farmer living in
the south part of the county, who
took his wagon and went through his
field and pulled of all the smut. and
hauled it OF and burned II. He then
turned his cattle in the field, sailed
them every day, and there was water
in the field. He lost thirteen head,
and had to take the rest out in order
to save them. He made an examine
ton aud found both stomachs filed
with dry husks. We think the only
certain preventive is to keep your cat
lie out of your fields until there comes
rain or snow to soften up the fodder
and husks, or feed them plenty of hay
and water them before turning them
in, and then not let them stay in lon
ger than two or three hours per day.
Our merchants here have bought, in
the last two weeks, over sixty hides
tyken from cattle that had died from
running in the stalk-fie,ds. ODE good
three-year old steer is worth more

Rules for Pruning.

NJ. DnBoreuil in work on pruning
and training fruit trees, published il
France, lays down the following rule:
based on the Fundamental principles
which underly the whole method:
/. The rermancncy of form in train,
cd trees is dependent on the equal diff.
fusion of sap.
2. Prune the strong branches short,
but allow the weak ones to grow long
3. Degrees the strong parts of the
tree, and elevate the weak branches.
4. Suppress the useless buds on the
strong parts as soon as possible, and
rs late as possible on the weak parts.
8. Nail up the strong parts very
early and very close to the wall.
6. Delay mailing the weak parts as
long as possible.
z. Suppress number of leaves on
the weak side.
s. Allow as large quantity of fruit
as possible on the strong side, and
suppress all the weak.
Q. Bring forward the weak side from
the wall, and keep the strong side close
to it.
10. The sap develops the branches
much more vigorously upon branch
cut short than upon one left long.
IL. The more the sap is retarded in
its circulation, the less wood the more
fruit buds will develop.
IL. To retard excessive growth, Ell
Their during autumn root-prune, or re-
move the trees, or in the spring time
expose the roots to the sun, and keep
manure and water from them; retard-
ing the excessive vigor OF the tree
loads to its fruit bearing.
IS. Keep the fruits as far rs possible
vertical, and their stems lowermost.
IA. Let the leaves lap over the fruit
till nearly ripe, when light as well as
heat should be allowed to bear on the
other aide.

bow Q Farmer Nay Lose Money.

BY not subscribing for one or more
good papers.
Keeping no account of farm opera
tions, paying no attention to the max
i'm that "a stitch in time saves nine"
in regard TO sowing grain and plant
ing seed ct the proper time.
Leaving reapers, plows, cultivators,
etc, unsheltered from the rain and
the heat of the sun. More money is
lost this way annually than most per-
sons would be willing to believe.
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are
irreparab!c.
Attending auction sales and pur-
chasing lot of trumpery, because, in
the language of the vendcr, they are
very cheap.
Allowing fences to remain nnrepair-
ed Until strange cattle are found graz
ing in the mead, grain felds,or brows-
ing on the fruit trees.
BY disbelieving the principle Of the
rotation of crops, before making a SIM
gle experiment.
Planting fruit trees without giving
them half the attention required to
make them profitable.

For the Eagle.
Bresdine and Rearing Of Horses.

Ed. EAGLE Thinking that few
words ON this subject would be of in
terest to the majority Of your readers
Isubmit the following:
We notice that too many farmers
look upon the breeding aud raising Of
horses as alsmall item. They neglect
attending to this part of their business
- they should, and the result is poor
stock-a loss of money in more ways
than one. Often when they are in
need of a horse, aud finding that just
such q one as they would desire is held
ct high figure, they purchase second
or third rate animals, in other words,
undesirable stock, incapable of doing
the work required of them. The re-
suit is, in the end, poor farming. In
stead of being compelled to purchase
the scrubby ofi-casts, the farmer
should raise his own horses, and give
his attention to the breeding to that
extent that his animals will not only
be scrviceable, but saleable.
Now, il farmers would breed their
best mares, securing the services of
good stallion, the result would be not
only good and saleable horses, but a
source of revenue, for good horses al
ways command a good price in the
market.
Commonly the farmer of this coun-
try manages in this way: They breed
old, blind, distempered, worn out
scruos, and keep their good mares at
hard work, with improper care, until
they are broken down and diseased, =
then, when entirely unfit for this they
use rs brood mares. la this way we
get our worthless, scrub horses. with
vicious dispositions, inherited disease
aud misshapen proportions.
But, say some farmers, there is no
sale Tor horses, aud what is the use in
raising them!
We admit, as stated above, that no
money is made in raising scrubs but
there is demand for good horses,-
not only home demand, but foreign
market for horses that are well bred,
finely formed, and weigh from 1920
to 1850 pounds.
We have now but few such horses.
and when one is offered it soon finds a
market at a good price.
The way to obtain such anima.s:-
Select your best mares, as near sound
as possible; and then, in The selection
q stallion be as careful as when max
ing change get large-boned, heavy;
well-formed, active and kinddisposi
toned horse.
The cost OF such patronage Or SER
vice will be but a triile more than for
an inferior horse, and will be worth TO
you more than double, yes twice over.
| for one can say that have found
this profitable: For fifteen years |
have bred light mares to heavy studs,
and have always found ready sale for
my surplus stock at good prices.
find the Norman, or Percheron, to
be the most profitable, as they are OF
kinder disposition, and Cor action,
combined with size make them more
attractive.
But, as my article is already OF con-
siderable length, and tor fear of taxing
your patience will say no more, but
will promise to give short history of
the Norman .st si'me future time.

Remedy for Deafness.

Drop three or four drops Of glycer-
inc in the ear before retiring at night /;
in the morning syringe the ear with
warm water, and continue this prac-
tice faithfully for some time. The
deafness and singing often result from
a collection of wax on the tympanum
or drum of the ear, and the glycerine
has the effect TO loosen it, while the
water removes il.

and this may be Is or 20 degrees less
during the night. With a proper heat

poorly. 1t would be better for the
FAIRLY if the temperature of the rooms
was oftener governed by the needs of
the plants, as they are generally over
heated.
Hanging plants, whether in baskets,
Or in suspended pots, are more apt TO
become oyerdry than others, and need
special care. Baskets are best watered
by plungiDg them in bucket or tub
of water, and allowing them to get
