A feather buster is an article the con

eiates, bu; ii is often too expensive for
many farmers to buy. For all such some
hints as to how buster Of equal utility and
durability to a store one may be made a,
home from feathers that would otherwise 90
to waste NAV be useful. II beauty is not
sough; any round stick Of the proper size,
such Is the end Of broom handle, will serve
for the handle of the brush. With saw
make series Of grooves Of deep notehes in
the lower end Of the handle. By the aid Of
hammer the lower portion Of each quill
should be so fa.tened as to pas. into the
grooves. As fast as the feathers are put in
they should be tied with strong Irvine; and
as the work proceeds glue should be added.
then more feathers, followed by the Irvine
and glue. until the end is completely Gov
cred and the buster is Of sufficient size.
after which the fishing row oflarge feathers,
selected for the purpose. is placed around
the whole and tightly bound with Irvine
Outside of the base Of the last row Of feath-
ers a neat stripe Of leather may be glued, to
both improve the appearance and render the
feathers more secure. A brush thus made
will serve all the purposes Of a purchased
one. and if the work is carefully and thor
oughly done it is neat in appearance.

whose sheep kept getting into his grain
fields, though there was good fence and
no break. Upon watching them he found
that an old buck stood beside the fence and
the rest used him for a stepping place,
jumping first on his back and then over the
fence. After they were all over the old
fellow followed. it seeming that he was the

Marketing Of Potatoes.

There are two ways Of disposing of this
crop, both of which make il a profitable
one to raise. The first is to marke ct them,
and the other, to boil and feed them to
stock, Small potatoes are just as good for
the.latter purpose as larger ones, while the
larger ones will bring far better price il
the little ones are entirely picked out
Parties in town who buy them for home
use are always williag to pay q good price
for medium and good sized clean potatoes,
but grumble when small ones are mixed
in. If farmers would pick them over,
and use the inferior ones to cook for hogs,
and market those of good size, they would
find it greatly to their advantage.
When taking them to market, throw a
quantity of hay in the bottom of the wag-
on box, and then carefully put the pota-
toes in and cover them with blanket or
or hay. Do not bring them in sacks or in
the box without hay or straw, for in both
these ways they become bruised, and look
badly.
There is always demand for good fruit
and vegetables, and the farmer who brings
choice potatoes, nicely picked oyer, to any
market, will never lack customers, and
will always receive the highest market
price.

African POtentatiOns.

The Comte de Semelle, who has recent
ly returned from the banks of the Niger
whether he was sent when Marshal Mac,
Mahen was President of the French re-
public, has published q few chapters of
startling narrative. The count says that
on reaching Lokoda he offered the Sultan
Of that place some goods, whereupon his
majesty shouted: 81 am great sultan and
not q dog! don't want your presents;
give me gin red rump The count thought
that he was going to be.asassinated, but he
forced his interpreter to say that he was
not English, but French; that he had new
er been received before by such dog,
that he feared neither fire nor poison, etc.
This language having sobered the Sultan,
the Count gave him bottle of gin, which
produced another ft Of delirium tremens.
The Count adds that the Sultan is COM
pletely aburti, and that he has no authori-
ty over his subjects, who have imposed up
on him q parliament with which he gets
drunk from morning till evening. At On

stacles in his way than to help him on his
road. Higher up in the country, in the
Mitohir, the Connt nearly saw his travels
brought to an abrupt conclusion: Howev.
er, the king, after Staying before him 100
human victims and examining their en-
trails, declared them favorable. and made
the count a present Of twenty wives. The
100 victims were cut up into small pieces
which were distributed through the city,
and the Count, who dined with the Sultan
in the evening, was obliged to eat a NOR
sci and to take draught of human blood.
Fortunately he was able to conclnde his
repast with fruit and palm wine. The
Count writes glowingly Of the natural
wealth of the country, which evidently re-
quires good deal of opening up.

common in cold climates is fallacious
and the idea, now so prevaIint, that phthis-
is is rare in warm climates is as untrue as
it is dangerous
g. The disease causes large proportion
Of deaths on the seashore, the mortality
diminishing with elevation up to GER
tain point.
4. Altitude is inimical to the develop
ment Of consumption, owing chiefly to the
greater purity of the atmosphere in eleva-
ted situations, its freedom from organic
matter and fts richness in ozone.
5. Moisture arising from a clay soil or
due to evaporation is one of the most in
fuential factors in its production.
6. Dampness from the atmosphere; from
whatever cause, or in any altitude, predis-
poses to the development of the disease

stages, would very likely be benefited or

An Heroic Physician.

A hero among Physicians is DR.. South,
Of Western Tszas. He was warned some
time ago that his life was to pay the for
felt of having voted on the grand jury for
the indictment of certain band of des-
paradoes. One night man rode up the
Doctors ranch and informed him that the
wife of the ring leader of the gang was ill,
and that he must attend her. He natural
ly thought that it was trick to get him
out and kill him, but he was very consci-
encious in his profession. He got his horse
and rode away with the messenger right
into the gang ofdesparadoes, and, dismonn-
ing, entered the tent of the woman
There lay the sufferer, while the man who
had promised to kill the doctor stood near
by. The doctor drew his revolver, placed
it on the pillow, and remarked that he
would "attend TO professional calls first
and personal ones afterward." The des.
paradoes were struck with his courage and
humanity, and trebled his fee instead of
shooting.

General HOeker's Tenderness.

General Hooker was so kind hearted
that not frequently he was more lenient
than just in his administration of army
affairs The quality of his mercy was not
strained, as this anecdose, told by
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
doth show:
/ served on General Hooker's staff for
nearly year, and on one occasion was as
signed to duty al judge advocate of a
general court martial. before which pri-
vate soldier of Michigan regiment was
brought, charged with desertion.
The evidence showed that the prisoner
had deserted thIee times, on the last occa-
sion in the face of the enemy.
The court martial sentenced him to be
shot, and the record of his trial and
conviction was forwarded to Gen. Hooker
for his approval.
A short time subsequently, Gen. Hoe ker
came to my quarters, which adjoined his
own and said:
"Bond. in this case against Private -
what do you think had better be done?-
Are there no extenuation circumstance"
"None that know of, general. He has
deserted three times"
Isn't there something in the ease upon
which you could base recommendation
of mercy?"
"Noa thing. The proof against him
was positive, and not denied, and the wit
nesses say fruther that when he was with
his regiment he was worthless fellow
and constitutional co ward"
"That's just the thing, said the general
positively. "The man is constitutionally
a coward, and you recommend him to mer-
cy on that ground. I'H tell you what's
the matter Bond; his mother is at my
quarters, begging for her sons life, and /
want to spare him."
In accordance with this suggestion, the
recommendation to leniency was written,
and few minutes thereafter feeble old
lady, with silver gray hair and fearful
face, was bowed out of the Generals door
by the brave old hero, and turning away
she exclaimed, with uplifted hands, "God
bless you, Gen. HookerW
