Forty eight hours of continuous
rain caused incalculable damage to
the cotton crop in Washington and
adjoining counties in Mississippi.
The crop there this year has been
assaulted by a complication of mis-
fortunes, including excessive rains,
blight, rust, shedding, boil worms
and caterpillars. In some cases
the seed in the new cotton is

Selling Stock.

A writer in a recent number of the
Mich Zeitu7g, on the danger to German
agriculture from foreign competition,
says that his own experience of fifty
years has taught him that regular soil
ing of cattle is best for the farmer and
his fields, bringing in greater profit and
maintaining the fertility of the land at a
higher pOint-that twice as much fod-
der can be produced on a given surface
when the forage plant is allowed to
grow as a cultivated crop and reach a
certain degree of maturity than when
as in pasture, il is continually cropped
off and trodden down. He believes, as
do all the best German writers on the
subject, that the most successful system
of agriculture in the long run is that in
which large quantity of stock is kept
and fed well, and a careful rotation of
crops is followed, in which the same
crop is never put twice in succession on
the same land. The soiling system
makes it easier to carry out the second
part of his programme, and the greater
variety of crops that can be raised on a
long rotation provides greater variety
of fodder for the stock, so that these
two features of the best modern agri-
cultural practice work admirably to-
gether. The soillng system provides
more uniform ration in respect to guam
tity, and avoids much less of manure. 1t
may be pretty safely affirmed that the
droppings of cattle in the pasture are
more than half wasted by drying in the
sun, or by too stronc dosing with ma
nure in isolated spots here and there.
Where land is cheap and abundant and
cannot be proftably cultivated and car
ried up to a high degree of fertility,
pasturage over large portion of the
farm may be allowable, but when high
farming pays pasture land is poor in
vestment and may eat up a large part
of the profits from the cultivated fields.

Perils OF Dentistry.


DR.. f. L. Jones, Waterville dentist
had a rather ugly experience with one
of his patients recently. The subject
was a strong and healthy young fellow
of twenty-five or so and the doctor pro-
ceeded to administer to him nitro-oxide
gas for the purpose of extracting a
tooth. Scarcely had the young man
got well filed and the tooth been duly
pulled, when jumping up like flash he
aimed a tremendous blow at the doc
tors head. Ducking under, however,
the doctor escaped the blow and giving
the fellow vigorous push sent him
back again into the chair. But his blood
was up and jumping up quickly he
struck the wall Just the side of the chair
two fearful blows with his doubled fists
which fairly shook the building. By
this time he was out of it and Gained
down Immediately. All of this took
but second or two and occurred in g.
small room partitioned off from the
main Office so that the doctor had no
means of escape. The plain impress of
two sets of knuckles can be plainly
seen in that wall TO this Bangor

Cellars.

EXPERIMENTS prove that the air in a
cellar rises and circulates through the
house, and that, too, not only by means
! OF the frequently-opened doors, but even
when every door is kept shut, and the
keyholes are stopped. 1t is simply i'm
possible to keep a dwelling free from
contaminated cellar air. Yet how many
sources of contamination are found in
cellars l-rotting wood, the entire floor
often being pervaded by decay; vegeta-
bles stored there for the winter, and their
refuse left the year round; musty bar
rels of vinegar or cider; leaky gas-fix-
lures; badly constructed furnaces, from
which escape various noxious gases !;
water-closets, foul at the best, and of
ten fouler through defects; defective
sink and sewer-drains, not unfrequently
saturating the soil beneath the floor
with filth.
Many cellars are dug directly into
''made'' land, and the gases of the de-
cayed matter with which the soil is more
or less filled, pour directly into them,
just as the water of the soil finds its way
into the well. This latter point is more
important than most think, for the air
circulates freely through the soil, even
when frozen. Persons have been re-
peatedly poisoned and killed by gas
which had travelled for a distance-in
one case, twenty feet-through the soil,
and had penetrated into the cellar, and
thence into the rooms above. As the
grOund-water rises or falls, the air fol-
lows it. Barometric nfluences-change
in the pressure of the atmosphere
force it down further, or lift it out of
the earth. Changes of temperature
similarly affect it, and particularly does
the warmth of a house establish an up
ward current from the cellar to the
rooms above, and from the soil into the
cellar. Hence,
l. Keep every thing out of the cellar
likely to vitiate its air.
2. Get the best-constructed furnaces.
8. Have the gas meter and fixtures
frequently examined.
f. Let the drains be of the best ma
terial and construction, and be ever in
ight-suspended from the ceiling, in
stead of being buried under the floor.
5. Have the floor and sides made as
impervious as possible.
6. Let the cellar be constantly and
thoroughly ventilated with sun-purified
air.
Z. If vitiating sources must remain,
use the best disinfectants-not mere de-
odOrizers.-YOuth'S Companion.

This is an anecdote of Merry, the
French author. 1t is well known that
the walters in a French restaurant will
invariably reply ''yes" to any thing you
ask for, and either bring it to you, or,
on returning, assert with sorrow that
unfortunately there is no more left.
Merry tried this joke on once, and per-
emptoriy ordered of walters sphinx a

more, Monsieur" replied the gareon.
"What, no more sphinx" exclaimed
Merry, feigning astonishment. The
waiter lowered his voice, and murmured
in a confidential whisper: ave have
some more, Monsieur, but the truth is L
should not care to serve them to you as
they are not quite fresh"

if those gentlemen desire to truly

during the sitting of the next legis-
lature. Who will second the motion?
Of course we're not going out there
