HOUSE AND FARM.
Agricultural Items.

1t is quite observable that there is more
inquiry for grass seeds for spring sowing,
among farmers, than ever before. This is
a hopeful sign, as getting the farm well in
grass"is one of the last duties an indifer-
emit far ner attends to.
Something for breeders to remember
that from the male parent are mainly de-
rived the external structure, confguration
and outward characteristic, the locomotive
peculiarities inclusive. From the female
parent are derived the internal structure,
the vital organs, and in much greater pro.
portion than from the male, the constitu-
ton, temper and habits.
A western farmer of the old school, Ia
menting the paragon hired man of the past,
thus speaks of him of the present: He wears
white shirts and collars. He won't eat wltha
knife. He wants napkins, and if we don't
hang up clean towel once week he wipes
on his handkerchief. He wants whole
hour at noon, and after supper trots off to
a singing school, or sits down to o news
paper.
It is easy to grow onion seed. The best
formed bulbs may be selected now and
planted out in the spring as early as May
be on richly MANFRED sandy loan or peat
soil. The bulbs should be planted IN rows
eight inches apart and two feet apart in the
rows. The soil should be drawn or thrown
up to the stocks and kept free from weeds.
When the stems turn yellow the seed balls
are ready to gather, and should be spread
thinly on an airy floor to dry, when the
seed may be thrashed out and cleaned.
The Massachusetts farmers are terribly
annoyed by the dogs, who slaughter their
sheep. They are holding meetings all over
the state to devise remedy, legislative or
otherwise, for the trouble. At one of these
meetings farmer said that he believed
careful breeding would develop dog that
would not kill sheep; and another said he
was trying it; if he filled he should try to
breed sheep that dogs could not kill.
The Massachusetts, Ploughmam reasons
that if the potato was the true seed there
would be but little doubt that planting the
largest and best specimens would result in
the improvement of the quality of the pro-
duct But as they are not the true seed,
are not new life secured through the
principle of reproduction, but simply con-
tinuation of the old life secured by con-
tinuation of vegetable growth, there is but
little more certainty of getting large pota-
toes by planting large ones for seed than
there would be of getting large apples by
setting large cions.
To protect young fruit trees against mice
and rabbits it would be we'll to apply to the
stems for three feet up mixture of lime
wash and Paris green. If the vermin eat
any of the bark they can do but little dam
age before they become sick Of the job, and
it will be their last meal of the bark Of a
young fruit tree.

WHY the ParsOn Left Kentucky.

From the IeXas SlfungS.
A good many years ago, when certain
place in Texas was very small town, quite
a number of prominent citizens went out
on a hunting expedition. One night when
they were all gathered around the camp fire,
one of the party suggested that each man
should give the time and reason for leaving
his native state and coming to Texas, where
upon each one in turn told his experience.
Judge Blank had killed man in self de-
fence, In Arkansaw, Gen. Soandoso, had
forged another mans signature to a check,
while another came to Texas on account of
his having two wives. The only man who
did not make any disclosures was sancti-
monious looking old man who, although a
professional gambler, was usually called
"Parson."
aWell, Parson, why did you leave Ken
tucky?"
Il don't care to say anything about it.
Besides, it was only trife. None Of you
would believe me anyhow"
@Out with it! Did you shoot any
body?"
NO, gentlemen, I did not. Since
you want to know so bad I'll tell you.
left Kentucky because did not build a
church"
Deep silence fell on the group. No such
excuse for coming to Texas had ever been
heard of before. There was evidently an
unexplained mystery at the bottom of it.
The aParson" was called on to furnish more
light.
well, gentlemen, you see a eongega-
ton raised $4,000 and turned il
over to me to build a church-and didn't
build the church. That's all"

The Prevailing Typhoid.
From tho Nav York World

The germs of typhoid fever are contained
in impure water, and not in the form Of
miasmatic atmosphere. This being true,
our attention must be directed to the water
weare now using. There is hardly spring or
well in all Ibis country at this time, but what
must be, owing to the peculiar circumstan-
ces, very impure, il not actually poisonous.
Just think moment. You remember the
universal drought of last summer? During
this dry, heated term, our fountains were
almost dried up, and the subterranean ac-
queducts, or earth veins, were not supplied
with water by which the ever accum ulating
poison from decaying vegetables could be
carried off. as usual, in small and harmless
quantities. Last fall, this poison in large
quantities was left on the surface of the
earth, and now, during the continuous and
heavy rainfalls, it is carried directly into our
wells, and flows from our springs. Water
poison, you see, is our theoretical cause for
this fever. And now, to prevent this dread
disease, our water for both drinking ::and
bathing purposes, should be either boiled
or well filtered through charcoal.

should be supplemented by, if not in
