RATS. The damage by rats is one of
the most serious losses TO which farmers
are subjected. On the whole, this loss
is doubtless greater than that from all
the fires which occur upon farms. We
have tried a preparation called poi
soned Wheat" put up for the purpose
of destroying vermin, and find it very
effective. The rats disappear; that is,
all that can be noticed. But poison OF
any kind should be used so that fowls
or other animals cannot get it. 70 de-
stroy the rats is now q timely work,
and will prevent much future loss OF

A French WAY OF WASHING
CLoTHEs.-A system of washing clothes
has lately been introduced in some
French towns which IL worthy of men,
ton. Its economy is so great as greatly
to reduce the cost. This Is the process /;
Two pounds of soap is reduced with u
little water to pulp, which having
been slightly warmed, Is cooled in ten
gallons of water, to which Is added
one spoonful of turpentine oil and two
spoonsful of ammonia; then the mix
ture Is agitated. The water is kept at
a temperature which may be borne by
the hand. In this solution the white
clothes are put and left there for two
hours before washing. them with soap,
taking care, in the meantime, to cover
the tub. The solution may be warmed
again and used once more, but IL will
be necessary to add half spoonful OF
turpentine and another spoonful of am
monia. Once washed with soap, the
clothes are put in hot water, and the
blue Is applied. This process, 1t Is oS-
vious, saves much time, much labor
and fuel, while iI gives To the clothes
a whiteness much superior TO that OBJ
tanned by any other process, and the de-
structive use of tie washboard is not
necessary to clean the clothes from the
impurities which they contain.

AGRICULTURE.

HARVESTING ToBAcco.-A very good
way Is to cut the plants Just at night,
and take them to the shed early In the
morning after the "dew Is off," The
plants are then cool and less liable TO
pole rot or sweat by adopting this me-
thod of harvesting. In hanging the
plants avold crowdlng, as space Is as
much an object with tobacco growers
as with newspaper men, and IL the
plants are over-crowded, the leaves are
apt To sweat and rot. In about two
weeks however, the danger Is passed
and the leaves will have commenced to
"cure down." changing at first from
green to yellow and from yellow TO
brown, the natural color of the leaf.
Too rapid curing Is not desirable, since
the leaf Is apt to be dry and husky,
rather than soft and silky. Keep the
sheds as dark as possible Ii dark-color-
ed leaf is sought for, and open the doors
If n lighter shade is wished for. Close
the doors next the sun at all times, and
open on the other side, but open all
during the night, unless the weather Is
very mnggy-a most dangerous time
tor the curing process and the time
when pole rot and sweat will ensue.
After the plants or leaves are all "cured
down." close the sheds tight so that
the color may even up, but should u
damp spell come on, open the doors,
but not If rain beats in on to che leaves.
Before cutting the plants see that all
are thoroughly suckered las the otfshootS
are liable to grow when hung up, and
the curing leaves come In contact with
them are apt to rot and be otherwise
injured. Tobacco plants may be hung
either with twine or string, on laths,
as may be thought best. Both modes
of hanging In the sheds have their adj
vocates, many claiming that when hung
on laths the leaves cure better and are
less liable to sweat or rot. Well-ripen-
ed tobacco will cure faster than when
only partially ripe; hence there Is less
danger from rotting when the plant Is
thoroughly matured. Havana seed to-
bacco must not be cut unless well-ri-
pened, as the leaves will be bitter in fla
vor If cut when green. The plants of
this variety should stand in the field so
long as there Is no danger from frosts,
say from eighteen to twenty-four days
after being topped, and in some cases
even longer. On low grounds, where
the early frost nips the vegetation, the
| plants should be carefully watc d
and cut, even If not ripe; since
we're frost, or any frost, even a"white"
one, units the leaves for use, and since
unripe tobacco is better than that touch
ed by this merciless foe OF the weed.

Of meteor. The san was shin
ing, and occasionally fieecy
cloud visible, when all at once far
up in mid-air there was loud re-
port resembling the discharge OF d
cnnnop, only louder, followed soon
by another resembling heavy
blast; which was followed by Que
or two more reports that might
have been the echo froha the first;
then for q minute or SO, there was
rumbling sonnd seemingly from
northeast to southwest, as near as
/ could judge from the location I
was in. About. two miles north
Mr.. Cbaa. Ega was III work plant
ing corn when the explosion came.
Looking in tlIe direction Of the re-
port, he could not see anything on
account of the sun, bat, following
with his eyes the direction of the
roaring sound that followed, he
saw dirt thrown mp to some height
in the edge os ravine q hundied
rods or 80 to the northeast of
where he was at work. Mr.. Johl
Barber also reports similar APP
pearaDce a hundred rods or so
fnrther 10 the same direction.
Further observations were made
by S. W. Brown, who lives three
fourths Of mile north Of here.
He was in tire edge Of the timber,
looking in a northwestIy direction
into the tops of some oaks, to 500
il there were going TO be any
acoins, the direction being quar-
tering to the sun; he saw Ia
red streak, and was looking atten-
lively ut it when the explosion
came. He claims That II was pass-
ing from east to west, and that
when it burst there was cloud OF
smoke at the head Of the red
streak. which rushed forth like
the smoke from a cannon's mouth
aud then spread in every direction.
Upon examining the edge of the
rasine Il hole was found IL feet in

rattlesuakes. Williams and Richards are
OF kind who, to an insstiste desire for
murder, add u disgusting eowardice.
They crafty their passion by striking
unawsres, by numbering under the guise
of friendship, their fendish DESIGNS
veiled by persuasive manners and gentle
words. In many respects the American
Richards is a more notable wretch than
the English Williams. So possessed was
the latter by his desire for murder that
there was no room in his soul for the
gentle emotions. Richards has all the
tigerish love of blood than had the other.
with more capricious nature, in which
dwell many of the feelings belonging to
the best of men. He had appreciation
OF beautiful woman. He could ad-
mire her, love her, make her the theme
of tender compositions. To the other
the glesm of razor was more attractive
than that of the brightest eye which
ever shone in woman's heal.
However, take them all in all, they
are the two blOodiest scoundrels spawned
by the vi;iousness of modern days.

Bats and Their Ways.
London Naturalist,


Bats live their active lives in the
night; when sunlight comes they fy
away to their holes. there to sleep until
twilight comes again, when they resume
their occupation of insect killing. The
female bat has hard time of it: she il
the nest and has to procure the food, ttr
her young until they themselves are able
to fly Often have / seen a female hat
with her young clinging to her breast,
flying about in search of food, and the
little ones were not 30 small either.
How else could they get alongP The
old ones make no nest if they wanted to
ever so much they could not, and the
chances are that from their wandering
habits they spend the day in one place
and the next in another two or three
miles distant, just as they happen to be
when day overtskes them, and if they
left their young behind them the exact
locality might be forgotten. When the
young ones are able to shift for them
selves their mothers life is easier, and
until winter comes to kill their insect
food she lives luxuriously. Then, when
all nature is preparing to put on the Iiv.
cry of winter, bats, instead OF leaving
the scenes where they have psss-d the
summer, repair to their haunts in tho
caves and walls, and hanging by their
hind feet in little groups of five or six
together, pass the dreary season in one
unbroken sleep.
