Harvesting the maturing crops, and weed
killing, are the chief occupations Of the month
The killing of weeds is of as much importance
now as earlier in the season, and is mentioned
with special emphasis for the reason that it is
so often neglected. The orchard, nursery rows
and garden, are often well titled during the
spring and early summer but when August
comes the weeds too often have it all their own
way. This is partly due to the pressure OF
other work. but frequently TO negligence. 100

fact before Its readers that burnt corn is GER
tain and speedy cure for hog cholera. The best
way is to make pile of corn on the cobs, eff.
fectually scorch it, and give the affected hogs
free access to it. This remedy was discovered
by accident by E. f. Locke, Esq, at the time
his dstllery was burned, together with large
lot CT stored corn, which was so much injured
as to unfit it for use, and was hauled out and
greedlly eaten by the hogs, several of which
were dying daily, After the second day not a

disappeared. The remedy has been tried since

Hartman is carried around the track in
a basket by Rowell and Ennis" said Mr..
j. excitedly.
"Well we'll, what can the man mean ?"
mused Mrs. j., aloud, whereupon her
husband slammed down his paper with
the remark that women never aoould
know nything," and went to bed.
Mrs. J. thinks it was somewhere along
about two o'clock in the morning that
she was awakened by hearing noise in
the back yard, as if some one walking
around the house Going to the back
door and peeping out, she discovered j.,
arrayed in his blue pants, red stockings
and brogans, taking enormous strides
and going around and around the house,
with the regularity of clock-work, but
evidently sound asleep. Fearing he
might catch cold, the good wife waited
until he was passing the door, when she
seized him, and attempted to stop him,
whereupon he hit her a stinging slap in
the face, and passed on, waving his hand
and shouting:
There's lap on the fifty-second mile
Keep off the track Score for Judkins!'
For the next fifteen minutes, Mrs. ].
watched him as he went dashing around
the house on full run. Suddenly, as
he rounded the corner. he went little
too near the "inside track" and tumbled,
with great splash, into a tub of rain
water. This was too much for the wife,
and she retired, screaming with laughter.
But as she left the door, she heard the
amateur sportsman call out:
"Ahl Here / am at Portsmouth
Boy, 60 up to the hotel and bring me
down couple of satchels!'
When Mrs. J. next observed her hus-
band, he was setting in front of the fire,
drying his blue pants, and watching the
burning fragments of the daily paper, as
they whirled up the chimney.
He assured his wife next morning, at
breakfast, that he didn't see how some
people could sit and read about lot of
fools tramping around sawdust track,
or an idiot floating down the Ohio river

AN AMATEUR.

Judkins' wife noticed him several
evenings last week, and the week before,
studying the papers very closely, scarcely
taking time, in the evening, to eat his
supper. After time he began to look
care-worn, and was restless at night.
Something was evidently preying upon
his mind, and disturbing his rest. de
came in one evening little later than
usual, with determined look upon his
eountenance, and carrying in his hand
pair of blue knee-breeches, and pair OF
long red stockings. These he deposited
upon a table, and, seating himself began
poring over his paper as usual.
"Why, Mr. j." exclaimed his wife,
whatever are you going to do with them
things anyway ?"

laps p exclaimed Mr.. j., vigorously.
