Old maids are useful. They can cook,
sew and take care OF children, nurse
sick people and generally play the pi-
ano. Old bachelors are useless. They
do not even know how TO drive nails or
split wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
anything done tha, requires patience
aud kindness of heart, single lady is
sure TO be The one 20 do IL.
Old bachelors are i'll natured. They
snub children, despise babies and hate
young mothers, and are always SO busily
employed in seeing that other people
take good care OF them that they have
not a moment to give to any one else.
Old maids are nice looking and
"young for their years" Old bachelors
generally have red noses, Rheumatism
in their knees, bald heads, aud mouths
that turn down at the corners.
Old maids can make home of one
little room, and cook delicious meals for
one over the gas je, in cunning little
tin kettles, besides making all their own
wardrobes. Old bachelors need an
army OF tdilorS, walters, cooks, distant
relatives and hotel landlords to keep
them comfortable. When old maids
are i'll they tie up their heads ir pocket
handkerchiets, take homeopathic pei
lets out Of two bottles, alternately, and
get well again. When old bachelors
are i'll they go 10 bed and send for four
doctors, have n consultation, n mantcl
piece iull OF black bottles, all the amia
bic married men who belong TO the club
TO sit up with them at night, besides
hired nurse; they telegraph TO their re-
lslions, and do their best TO impress tho
world With the idea that they are dy.
ing.
When an old maid travels she takes o
sandwich with q piece of pound cake,
bottle of lemonade in hand basket,
and lunches comfortably in the carriage.
When an old bachelor travels he orders
a dinner in courses at the station, AMI
raves because he has not time 10 eat II
before the 'iiiteen minutes for refresh
meuts" are over.
Old maids drink weak tea, and il
cures their headaches Old bachelors
drink strong liquors which gives tbem
headaches.
Old maids are modest; they think
their youth is over and their beauty
gone. If after awhile, some autumnal
love is given them, they take II as
sort of miracle, and hope people will
not laugh at them for marrying 50 late
in life"
Old bachelors believe that alI women
are in love with them, aud that they
must carefully guard themselves from
traps laid to inveigle them into matri
mony. They also fondly cherish tho
belief that, should they eventually be-
come married men, the world expects
them to exhibit great taste in women
by their choice, and that tho "other iel-
lows" will laugh if their portions be not
tender youth and beauty; also that when
they marry, many women will expire OF
iealousy.-Rurai Nsw Yorker.

Honey Prospects.

American honey took the grand
premium at the great bee aud honey
show in England. This will do much
toward removing the prejudice which
has existed 10 considerable extent IN
that country against our honey, both
comb and extracted, and, OF course. the
taste OF England will be more or less
contagious and extend to other couu-
ties. With the dense population of
Europe honey must eventually become
iayorlte. and now that tie Americap
product taxes the lead in attractiyeness
the outlook abroad is altogether natter.
ing. AT home, the great surplus Of last
season was not altogether source of
regret, although a slight periodical
hardship, as it has been the means of
iamillarizing its use IN thousands of
families where it would have been
many years in being introduced. but for
lis very low price. In Chicago ard
other great markets, there are scores Of
groceries who keep it regularly on sale,
where few years ago it was q ra,e
thing to be seen, This evidences n
glowing and steady demand for it, and
Ike all progress IN civilization and tas,s
1t can not retroSrade. When Congress
shall have passed q general law
against adulterations (which sooner or
later will be done), it will force honest
syiups 10 compete with honey in pub
lie taste, ana force out the vile adulte,.
alton commonly known as strained
honey. Then the apiarist can offer his
extracted nectar without fear of bis
honesty being impugned (; then will
there be standard price fort honey as

product, and the apiarist can CONT up

turns from the crop. But by permit
ting the seed TO mature, and feeding
the crop down with fastening hogs,
we are almost sure OF a return in pork
equal to actual outlay for the crop
and the land, according to my experl-
ence, Will be equally as much benefited
as ifthe entire crop had been turned
under. II the hog remain upon the
land while feeding, they will only res
move from the field the fat which they |
accumulate, which, being almost en-
tirely carbon, is of no value as a fertil
izer. The Doctor can tell us what
hundred pounds of fat pork is worth
as manure. have always found ii
vcy difficult to ge. as many peas seed
ed as ! desired, owing TO the fact that
the seeding falls at . season when
team and hands are very busy with
other crops. This year have tried
seeding in corn, and where the corn
was early and not too thick, | have
found it satisfactory-the vines now
(Sept. l5,h) covering the ground and
showing good many young peas.
Another year shall plant my corn
as early as possible, and make the
rows five instead Of four feet apart,
and l believe that 10 this way the cost
of the crop will be SO much reduced
as to make its production almost uni
versal. The crop would not be charge
able with anything except the cost Of
seed aud sowing, as they are gotten
in by the cultivator at the last working
Of the corn. Peas sown in this way
cannot be relied on to mature Tor seed,
aud ! woull advise planting few
acI es IN drills on well prepared land
for this purpose. l wish also to add
that 100 pounds Of superphosphate
will double the yield OF grain and iac'
ilitate the ripepiug from one to two
weeks-a very important item where
the saving of seed is M object. In
conclusion, | si.h only to add, that
am more than pleased with the Doc
toes editorial upon this and other sub
ircts, and have written these few dis.
senling notes only for the sake OF
bringing out the facts as they really
are. Let other farmers who have had
praciicsl experience give US the bene-
fit of it.

Saving Seed Corn.

There are d fferent methods adopted
by farmers for SAVING seed corn, some
leaving entire rows In the field from
which to select their seed, permitting
the stalk to become thoroughly dry be-
fore harvesting. This we DO not con.
side any advantage, for if corn is cut
at the proper time, the seed can just as
we'll be selected from the general har-
vest, aud 1t is equally as good in every
respect. A very good plan and one
which we have adopted. was to tell
each husker to save the finest aud best
ears as he went along, not removing the
husks, but permitting them to remain
to hang up the ear BY. Those selected
BY US were the large ears on the stalks
having two large perfectly formed ears
and in time we found that we had many
stalks double-eared, though the richness
of the soil naturally assisted in this
double development. The ears selected
were hung up in some dry, cool place
until wanted for use in the spring
when they were shelled by hand, the
point ends being discarded and only the
well.formed grams used. 1t Is fact
not generally known that the grains on
ths butt end OF the ear will invariably
bring earlier crops than the grains
further up in some cases we have
known il to be two weeks earlier
With sweet corn for market purposes
this IS quite al item.

1t is easier to tie knot IN a cows
horn than TO make your wife believe
that every other night is lodge night.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1879-10-29

1t is strangely singular how much tue
boy with pair of new suspenders hates
to wear Lis coat.
