No man shall ever kiss me except
my future husband, she said, as he
was about leaving her at the gate.
"Suppose l agree to be your fu-
ture-" "Why, then I'll kiss you,"
she replied eagerly, and she did.
Her mother was informed that he
proposed, and the old lady called
around to fasten the matter, and
before he knew it he was eternally
hooked. 1t was a mean advantage
but bird in the hand is worth two

A small boy yesterday stepped
upon bit of plank and bad the
bottom of his foot punctured by q
nail projecting therefrom. He had
heard that nail wound in the foot
caused lockjaw and that lockjaw
caused death. He therefore sat
down on the edge of the side walk
and considered himself a goner.
+" Sammy" said he to a companion,
" I've got ter die. Pll be tooken
with the lockjaw in bout mint,
then I'll die. I'd like to see m0ther

Is CLOVER FERTILIZER the following
may throw some light upon the subject; About
twenty years since IA man obtained by lease a
tract of land for term Of years most Of which
was worn out and exhausted rye land One
field of ten acres was sown with rye when he
took It. The lessee gave it a coat of ashes and
good sprinkling Of clover seed. The rye
yielded SIX bushels per acre, it was so thin
that the clover had sufficient room to grow.
The next season the clover completely covered
the ground and was allowed to remain on the
ground the entire season. In the spring of the
second year the whole was plowed in and the
field planted with corn, which yielded forty-sev.
en- bushels per acre, and il has remained fertile

Some weeks ago there was brought to
counties some stock cattle which seemed IN
healthy condition, and so were bought by
some of the brokers here and found their way
to Ogle county. Not long after they were
put on the pastures IN the county last named
they showed signs Of sickness, aud several
died in short time afterward Urged by
their well-founded fears, the owners hastily
shipped some of the stock to this market.
Here they were slaughtered and 1t was found,
that in the stOmachs of the beasts there was
considerable quantities of mud In the mean
time some of those papers which are ever
more eager to create a sensation than to guard
the interests of the trade, seized upon the OPP
portunity to excite yet greater fears in the
minds Of those who had bought of the stock.
Various causes were given as leading to the
losses, but careful investigation showed that
in every case where death had come there
were the same symptoms and the quantities
OF mud were present in the stomachs. Fur
Their inquiry elected the fact that IN the dis
trlct from where these cattle came, the water
courses were nearly dry, and that places had
been dredged out in the beds of the streams,
making what are called in Australia tanks"
Into these the cattle went to cool themselves,
and to drink. BY their tramplng into the
soft bed of the tanks they made the whole
mudhole, and having nothing else to drink
they soon gathered enough of the thin mud
into their stomaChs to rather more than satisfy
the demands of their sytems and in the end
cause death.-Anertcan .Stockman.

Electricity IN Morning Glory,.

IFr0m the Lafayette, ma, COurlel)
Last evening a gentleman Of this city acct
dentally made a most singular discovery re-
speeding the electrical influence OF the ordna
ny morning glory vines. Seated near the lat
tice- work, over which the vine was trained,
his attention was attracted to single little
branch tipped with growing line extending
straight out from the rest, and speculaed
within himself whether the tiny hairs with
which the stem was clothed were not placed
there for the purpose of conducting the electric
fluid of the atmosphere to the plant. In or
der to continue his investigation he approach
ed his finger within half an inch of it, and
was amazed TO observe a slight-almost I'M
perceptible, yet unmistakable motion of the
stem. AS he pushed his finger little nearer
the stem trembled very visibly, and was SEEM
ingly attracted and repealed from him The
hairs which he noticed before did not move,
but remained erect. There was no wind at
the time, and the motion was purely an in
duced one After this interesting experiment
he placed the end Of his finger within short
distance of the growing bud and slowly
moved II in circular direction The stem
followed the motion until it was bent in the
shape of letter c, and when the finger was
withdrawn instantly regained its former
straight position. This last experiment was
witnessed by several persons, all of whom
tried 1t, with varying success.

Cattle grazing at the outskirts Of woods,
among the brushes and shrubbcry, and near
old hedges, are liable to be troubled with ticks
Brushing the cattle over, once week, with a
mixture of one part of kerosene and two parts
Of lard oil, will protect them from the attacks
of these vermin, When ticks are found on
cattle IN considerable numbers, they should
not be removed by force, because, in that case,
the head of the tick will remain imbedded III
the hide Of the animal, and, when in large
numbers, will he apt to cause considerable ir-
ritatlon and inflammation Of the skin. BY ap-
plying light coating of lard oil, or little

FARM AND GARDEN,


We have received several answers TO the
question of our Bradford friend, as to the best
method of pickling cucumbcrs for market and
home use Mrs Mary G. Wallace, Oneida, n,
Y, makes pickles for home use as follows:
Pick the cucumbers before they arc too
large. Wash thoroughly, make weak brine
of salt and water, heat scalding hot, and then
pour over the Cucumbers, and let them remain
in this brine until the next morning then heat
the brine again, and pour on ~ before. This
repeat for three mornings in succession, and
your cucumbers are ready to he placed in cold
cider vinegar, either spiced or plain, as pre-
ferrcd Several pieces OF horseradish root put
in the jar with the pickles Will help preserve
from moulding. Pickles prepared in this way
will be crisp and tender, and always ready for
use, and will keep for year or more.
Recipe from Mrs W. j, Morton, Auburn
NY:
Put the cucumbers into u scalding hot weak
brine, stand thee days, pour off, put again IN
hot brine, stand three days, pour Oft bring the
same BRINE to scalding heat, stand three days

Add as YOu Are Able.

Avenerable and distinguished Bishop
once advised body of ministers as fol-
lows: "Owe no man more than you are
able to pay; and permit no man to owe
you more than you are able to lose"
A rational application of this advice
would divest the credit system of many,
if not of all it's Objectionable features.
Consistent with the first part of the
exhortation, young men-and older
ones as Welfare admonished to be
content with gradual addition to their
property of any kind. If one has not
the money to spare for much, let him
confine himself to the little. After q
while he can easily venture on another
part; and, after waiting and earning, on
still another and another, and another,
either paying as he goes, or surely
avoiding heavy indebtedness. Do not
attempt too much at once. Do what
you can afford this time, and put off
the oil her things to another time Don't
try to build too much and too fast.
Don't buy at once all the furniture you
would like to see in your house. I'M
prove and increase your implements
and stock by degrees. A little that is
paid for is far better than much that
you owe for. Debt, bankruptcy and
distress come often from burdening the
present for the sake of the future. It
is easier to pay little debts every now
and then, than to pay large debt at
one time. All who have tried them
know that large debts are costly and un.
pleasant things.
