Those Cigarettes.

The statistics of cigarettes show how their use in this country has grown of late. In one year the supply has in creased more than third. The tax on them for the last fiscal year produced nearly million dollars from the ordi- nary cigarettes alone. The tax on these was $1. 75 per thousand, and the number of cigarettes made and paying revenue was over five hundred million. These cigarettes arc mostly vile enough. The odor tells the story. While many of them are unquestionably good, others are said to be mixed with refuse tobac- co. Many people can remember when the cigarette was the pleasantest form of tobacco smoking-the pleasantest for the buffer and the pleasantest for the people puffed at. Lrdies who could not endure ordinary cigars often found the perfume of the cigarette agreeable; 1t was like lighted pastile. But the cigarette of to-day is usually ranker, fouler and more acrid in it's odor than many clay pipes. Young men puff this abomination on the crowded platforms of street cars, or in mixed assemblies, where they would hardly venture to p1ll away at pipe; and yet it is often the more nausesting of the two. If the old fragrant cigarettes were restored, the fact that half a billion 8 year of them are smoked might be less lament able.

At Niagara Falls.

Niagara hackmen are unreformed. They will convey visitor all over the place for twenty-five cents this year but will expose him to numerous catch penny extortions, sharing with the swindlers in the spells. ''The sellers of souvenirs" says correspondent, "show you bits of jewelry moulded of a translucent artificial paste, and look you straight in the eyes while they tell you that the material of which the trinkets are made is solidifed foam from the cataract, and that it is carved into its various shapes by members Of tue local Indian tribes. They will ex- hibit rock crystals which do not belong to any geological formation visible within hundred miles of here, and descant upon the peril to which young brave exposed himself in climbing a precipice almost under the falls to chip these particular specimens off"

Suppress the Toy Pistol.

If nitro-glycer1ne, laudanum or some other deadly preparation had been twice as fatal to life in the past two months as shotgun and revolver what 8 howl there would have been for special legislation to suppress the murderous agency! And yet the toy pistol has been at work night and day, and be- tween cases that proved instantly fatal and those that eliminated in death by lockjaw this vicious little engine of death has done more harm than all the heavy weapons combined. It is small, it's charge of powder is supposed to be light, and its bullet, if it has any, is a mere pellet-so the dealers say; but between bullet and wad it has been marvelously apt to scatter, tear and slay. All of the toy pistols that have proved fatal should be traced to the dealers who sold them to minors, and from them to the manufacturers who made these murderous weapons to be sold as toys; the laws that exist should then be sufficient to send score or two of people to jail and discourage trade that is utterly inexcusable and fright fully dangerous.-N. y.

Storing and Feeding Fodder. Corn.

MT. J. Talcott, Rome, N. Y., commu- estimate of the value of corn fodder, and his method of feeding it, based on an experience covering many years:
 ''To have corn grown for feeding to farm stock of all kinds in its green state, and especially to milch COWS, prefer to grow it thinly so that the ears shall be freely developed, and when the ears are fit for boiling as green corn for family use, then to begin to cut the fodder and feed to dairy COWS and working oxen, and, in fact, to all kinds of farm stock. Dairy COWS and working oxen will eat their rations from the whole corn, but horses and calves need to have thelr supply run through cutting machine, in order that they may not waste any of the stalks and eat all clean. l have kept my working oxen in the stable on corn thus grown for number of years past, and have found no feed that I think is of equal value grown on so little land. I can begin to feed the last of July, and contl1pe the green feed until frost comes. After that I have continued the same feed dried. into the month of December. In order to have succession of corn for fodder I plant early corn for the first feeding, and the larger and later sorts for the late feed ing, and before frost comes cut all and put in stocks in the field, taking care to have the stocks we'll put up and well tied with two bands at the top, the tops being turned down so that the upper band Is bound round the tops thus turned down, in order to shed all rains efectually. All my fodder corn is cut soon after the ears reach the boiling stage"
 The report of the success and meth ods of Mir. J. l.. Browning, Lake Wac cabuc, N. Y., in curing and feeding the crop appears as follows in the Chatham Courier:
 "I had fifteen acres the past season, which cut and put in stocks about the same size as hill corn is made into. left them to cure little for two weeks, then carted the whole in. could very readily wiring the juice from the dryest of it when carted in. Three sides o1 the mow were sided with match siding Between every second load I put from 400 to 500 pounds of oat straw. Wher slowing away I was particular to have that which was the least cured in the center of the mow. When the mow was filled, I put good load of straw on top Last winter all came out in the very best condition, both green and moist both were eaten more readily by stoci than the best of hay. When I changed from the feeding of these stalks to No 1 hay I found that I did not get nearl, as much milk and butter. I do no feed the stalks without cutting. There is great economy in this way of feeding, a the remaining portion of hill corn makes good bedding. use Cummin's cutter which cuts any desired length and alst l crushaS '"

DOmest icating the Buffalo.

The subject of domestication of the wild buffalo of the Western plains, says an exchange, has often been discussed, and the opinions expressed have been very diverse. Several attempts have been made to domesticate them, but the success attendant upon these efforts has not been very great. Ex-Delegate ". A. Burleigh, of Dakota Territory, believes that sue cess can be obtained, and speaks as follows: "Who ever heard of winter or 8 flood that killed buffalo, at least in any appreciable num- bers? You know what Chinook winds are? We'll, last winter one of these winds melted the snow snd left several inches of water on the ground. Sud denly the mercury fell way below zero, and the water was solid sheet of ice. The domestic cattle couldn't get bite of grass anywhere on the level, and the hills were bare or too much exposed. I took my field glass and watched a herd of buffalo I saw in the open. Did they go hungry? Not much. A lot of bulls would go in front of the herd, and, stamping on the ice, would loosen and break it. Then, with horn and hoof they would scatter it and get at the suc- culent grass beneath, while COWS and calves, following in their wake, gleaned like Ruth-from the field their lords had passed" The experiment, con- ducted in proper manner, is we'll worth trying, as, if successful, the breeding of the animals would un- doubtedly be profitable.

Why Timber was Scarce.

A writer in a West Virginia paper says that the Shenandoah Valley, when first settled, 160 years ago, was an open, prairie-like region, covered with tall grass, on which herds of deer, buffalo and elk fed, and devoid of all timber except on occasional ridges but that after it became settled trees sprang up almost as th1ckly and regularly as if seed had been planted. These forests, having been preserved by the farmers, cover now large part of the surface of the valley with hard wood trees of su- perior excellence. The explanation of this change is that previous to the set clement of the valley annual fires, neg ligently started by Indians, burned up the young trees, and prevented the formation of forests, but with the ar rival of settlers these fires were pre- vented; and the opinion is asserted that the treeless character of the Western prairies is owing to the Indian practice of annually burning the grass. Were it not for that, dense forests would have covered these vast plains for cen- turies.

Fraudulent Notes.

Farmers are frequently inducedto sign promissory notes in payment of wire fences, lightning rods. patent rights, etc., on fraudulent representations, and there seems to be some difference of opinion among the judges in different States as to whether these notes can be collected. The other day we read an adverse opinion of Wisconsin court, and now we learn that on July 19 de- cision contrary to this precedent was rendered by Judge Adams, of the Su- preme Court of Iowa, in the case ol Scotield vs. Ford. The maker of the note admitted he had made it, but said it was procured from him by. fraud. The Judge said the maker could not success. fully defend the action on this account, as the plaintiff had purchased the note for value and in good faith before its maturity, relying on the promise therein set forth, as he had right to do.

inertness. To call it fortnight laziness is not quite true. Individually, you find men energetic enough here in cer- tain ways; collectively, they are help less. It is the helplessness of child, overnursed and indulged to excess and then thrust out in the world to earn it's livelihood. Such boy may beonergetic, may be sensible, may be honest and honorable, but his utter helplessness is pitiable. The fault has been with his training.
