A southwestern Marriage.

Not a week later Mrs. Spriggle pre-
scented herself again at Briarley. The
black dress had suffered visibly from
contact with muddy roads on the way
The black sun-bonnet was imper and
rustier than ever. Their wearel
dropped into a chair, and crossed hei
hands dejectedly on her knees.
Reckon ye done heered bout my
gal bein' married." she said, without
raising her eyes from the floor.
"Yes, was much surprised to hear
it," the mistress replied. "She must
be very young"
Eyes, she is tol'able young, is Sis
goin' on Is. But law, i was married al
13-I was sol"
She looked up quickly, but, catching
an expression of disapproval on tho
mistress face, she cast her eyes again
upon the floor:
"The wust on it is" continued she,
she hain't got cent, nor he can't make
one, nuther!"
"Why did you let your daughter take
him, then?"
Well, he came dawdlin' round Sis,
an he'd allus powder-horn a-hargin
on to him; so l inst lowed he'd gun,
and could keep Sis in 'coons and pos
sums. She's a master-hand at fresh
meat, is my gal! He scraped up 50

daughter properly"
Mrs. Spriggle pushed back her bon
net and crossed her knees before she
answered. Then she shook her head
mournfully.
II never found out" she said, "till
they was done married as how he'd
nary gun at all--nothin' but powder

she's the powerfullest no-account crit
ter you ever did see."
"You must feel badly to let your
daughter 60 away with such man."
ooh, law, she amt gone! Did you
think he had any house to put her in ?
Why, don't you know? They's alvin
to home with me-"
This amazing piece of intelligence
nearly took away the mistress breath.
Before she could reply, Mrs. Spriggle
continued:
whats dds didl 'Tain't no use

'But how could you let her marry
him without knowing more about him
than you did?"

up appealingly as she spoke. Goals

But" said the mistress, it seem
he is not good husband"
Mrs. Spriggle's face, which had
frightened slightly, took on a gloomiel
hue, and she pulled the black bonne
down over it.
"That's So" she assented, tearfully

A Wonder I

In most Of the papers may be seen an an
nouncement of a new rubber boot, made by
the Candee Rubber Co., Of New Haven, CT.
This boot marks new era in the manufacture
of rubber goods, and is called the @95 Per
Cent. Sterling" to denote its high quality, and
is covered by no less than seven patents, all
owned by the Candee Co. One of the boots,
split to show its exact character, is on exhibit
ton at the stores, and shows an article for
genuine service that is seemingly indestruct-
ible The Company warrants these boots three
months, although there is abundant testimony
that the boots will stand six months hard
wear every day. The "Candee +" is the largest
rubber goods company in the world. and its
warrant is equal to bond. One of the patents
referred to covers binding for the top of the
leg, in which are engraved spaces for every
day and month in the year, so that tho store
keeper can punch out the date Of sale, and so
fix beyond dispute the duration of the three
months warrant Altogether, it is the most
wonderful boot that has yet appeared.

The Curry Comb.

A great many farmers make mistake in
buying their curry combs. They buy them
in the spring, at about the time when they
get new hired man. The proprietor tells
his man to clean his horses we'll. So the
new groom, with the new comb, scratches
the horses up and down, backward and for
ward, for five or ten minutes. 1 would like
to see horse that would not get angry with
such treatment. 1 always buy my curry
combs in the fall-November or December
is very good time. At that time the horse
has a thick coat, and then there is net much
danger that you will scratch horse so badly
that he will bite or kick at you. know a
man who always has horses that kick or bite,
and I am satisfied that it is his own fault.
He ticks and kicks his horses more in one
week than do mine in five years. 1 advise
those who want to buy horse brushes to buy
the best they can get. Eleven years ago
bought brush that cost SO 80, and it is as
good yet as it was when I bought it. ''The
best is always the cheapest. "-D. N. Kern in

Best Protection Against Rusting.

For farm implements of all kinds, having
metal surfaces exposed, for knives and forks,
and household apparatus, indeed for all met
ais likely to be injured by oxidation, or "rust-
ing" we know of no simpler, more effective
application than that furnished to the Anaer-
ican Agriculturist by the late Prof. Olmsted,
author of Olmstea's Natural Philosophy, etc.
BE used it on air-pumps, telescopes, and va
rious other apparatus.-Take any quantity
of good lard, and to every half pound or go,
add of common resin (''rosin") an amount
about equal to half the size of an egg or less
little more or less is of no consequence.
Melt them slowly together, stirring as they
cool. Apply this with cloth or otherwise,
just enough to give thin coating to the met
al 10 be protected. 1t can be wiped off near
ly clean from surfaces where it will be unde-
sirabe, as is the case of knives and forks, etc.
The resin prevents rancidity, and the mix
ture excludes the ready access of air and
moisture. A fresh application may be need
ed when the coating is washed off by the
friction OF beating storms or otherwise. This
single recipe will be worth many dollars to
one in the long run. There was talk of pa
tenting it, at one time, but Prof. Olmsted
gave it to us to be published for the general
public geod.-Americdn Agriculturist.

Labels for Fruit Trees.

The most enduring labels are those formed
of lead, with the names of the kinds of fruit
trees impressed or indented with an iron
stamp about halfway through the lead.
The labels should be three inches long, one
and a bali wide, and have a hole through a
shoulder LETT in the middle or one side OF the
label. The label should be fastened to the
tree with stout, flexible lead wire, allowing
room for the tree to grow. You will require
punch letters of the alphabet, and the figures
corresponding to that of the year in which
the trees were planted, If you care to date
their planting. Labels of this kind only
perish with the lead. These are the most
durable labels we know off. Zinc labels are
also good, and last long time, if the names
of the trees be written on them with proper
ink, which may be made of one drachm each
of verdigr:s and sal-ammoniac powder, hall
drachm of lampblack, mixed with ten
drachms of water. The labels should be
made bright by rubbing them with sand
paper, then write the names upon them i'm
mediately in clear, bold hand, with quill

AGRICULTURAL.
Domestic Animals in Farm Economy.


While the usual methods and extent and
variety of crops must in every country be
controlled by local conditions, there is a les
son of practical wisdom to be learned from
the prevalent tendency to increase meat pro-
duction in Great Britain, France and Ger
many, which the farmers of the United
States should heed. Already in this country
the demand tor meat of higher grades Of
quality, both for home use and foreign ship
ment, is beginning to exercise some influence
upon the extension of the culture of clovers,
miilets and other forage plants, and in keep
ing up to high point our corn production
without too ruinous reduction in price.
Could beet sugar be made with profit here,
it would give powerful stimulus to cattle
feeding and high culture. While maize, the
clovers and various grasses will be our main
reliance for feeding and fattening, there is
greatly needed for variety, and especially for
more succuleDt winter forage, an increase of
mangolds, cabbages, Swedes, etc. Wheat
will be minor interest, as it is already in
the older states, except in the new soils of
the higher plains and elevated valleys of the
Rocky mountain system, where its culture as
a speciality will rage yet for considerable
period. Elsewhere enterprising ruralists
should address themselves to careful study OF
the questions of rural economy and animal
physiology involved in the problem of success
