AN OLD FARMERS WISDOM.

One who has TILED the soil for
forty years, and meautime accumu-
lated Il competence and given his
children good education, says his
experience has taught him these
things: l. One acre of laud, well
prepared and well cultivated, pro
lnces more than two which received
only the same amount Of labor had
on one. =. One cow, horse. mule,
sheep or hog well fed, is more
profitable than two kept on the
amount necessary to keep one well.
B. One acre OF clover or gr'tss is
worth more than two of cotton
where no grass or clover is raised.

A JOKE ON A HORSE.

One of the commission houses OF
Woodbridge street has a horse
which was the terror of every pedes-
trian who got within three feet of
his head. The animal has teeth
like shark, and up to few days
ago, he'd bite everything within
reach except pile of grindstones.
Whipping had no effect. and he
would get nd of muzzles as fast as
they We're put on. The firm had
paid out considerable money 10 set

what they could sell him for, when
along came IL man who guaranteed
Il cure for S5. He was tod to 90 to
work, and his first move was to get
an old suit of clothes andr stuff it
with straw The horse was driven
down the street, aud the suit was
tied to Il hitcning post, back to the
street. A full pound of Cayenne
pepper was then rubbed into ana

the straw stuffiug, ami the joke was
ready.
The horse c:.nejogging back, and
the driver left him standing within
