FOR THE FARMER.
Sowing Seeds.

Joseph Harris Of Rochester, in his
new seed catalogue, gives his young
customers some good directions about
sowing garden seeds. He says they
should be covered only deep enough
to keep moist, and that small seeds,
such as lettuce, radish, Drummond
phlox, aster, verbena and pansy,
need not be covered deeper than a
sheet of writing paper in thickness.
If pressed into the soil and kept
moist, they need not be covered at
all. Petunia seeds are easily cover
ed go deep that they will not grow,
while peas will grow if covered two
or three inches deep. We may add
to the above that for outdoor plant
ing it is good rule to cover seeds to
a depth of three to FIVE times their
diameter and no more, so that large
seeds like corn and peas will be ma
ny times deeper than the minute
seeds Of the portulaca. All must
have the three requisites of warmth,
moisture ..and air, Out not light)
and if buried too deep the air viii
be excluded. Peter Henderson finds
great benefit in covering the seed,
after pressing it in the soil, with a
thin coat of finely pulverized moss,
evenly sifted on, and watered with a
fine hose.

Don't Want You.

I was sitting in the office of mer.
chant not long since, when a lad
about sixteen entered with cigar
in his mouth. He said TO the gen.
tleman: 81 would like to get a situa-
tion in your shop to learn a trade,
sir" 81 might give you place, but
you carry very bad recommenda.
tion in your mouth" said the gentle
man. 81 don't think it any harm to
smoke, sir; nearly everybody smokes
now" II am very sorry to say my
young friend, that l can't employ
you. If you have money enough to
smoke cigars, you will be above
working as an apprentice; and if you
have not money your love for cigars
might make you steal it. No boy
who smokes cigars can get employ,
ment in my shop"

Insects in Orchards.

1t has been proposed to destroy in
sects in the orchards, and among
them the Goblin Moth, by the follow
ing practice: First, whitewashing
the bodies and limbs Of the trees as
high as practicable, and, second, the
latter part of spring and before in.
sects become very active, pillow fur.
rows each way between the rows Of
trees, so as to leave square piece Of
smooth ground under each tree; then
scatter some straw lightly under the
trees, keeping it away three or four
feet from the stems; and many in
sects will harbor in it. After ten or
twelve days that the straw has been
thus spread under the trees, some
evening, taking one tree at q time,
set fire to the straw, burning straw
and insects together. Follow up the
practice for two or three years and
few insects will remain.

Abide Advice.

I want to give you three or foul
rules.
One is, always look at the person
you speak to. When you are ad
dressed, look straight at the person
who speaks to you. Do not forgei
this.
Another is, speak your words plain
ly. Do not mutter or humble. j
words are worth saying. they are
worth pronouncing distinctly anc
clearly.
Another is, do not say disagreeable
things, If you have nothing pleas
ant to say, keep silent.
A fourth Island oh, children, re
member it all your lives-think three
times before you speak once.
Have you something to do thai
you find hard and would prefer moi
to do? Then listen. Do the hare
thing first, and get it over with. i
you have done wrong, go and confes!
it. your lesson is tough, master
it. If the garden is to be weeded
weed it first and play afterward.

Preserving Potatoes.

Preserving potatoes for the table
in summer by slightly heating the
surface and thus destroying the eyes,
was recently suggested in the New
England Farmer as u method worthy
of experiment. Mr.. J. G. Adams,
Green County, Penn, writes the
New York Tribune that the plan is
practiced in his county to a consider
able extent. The eyes are destroyed
by simply pouring scalding water
over the tubers, which are then i'm
mediately dried and put away when
"they will keep indefinitely" Mr..
Adams says he knows whereof he
speaks, for being engaged in the
grocery business he has bought and
sold potatoes treated by this process
repeatedly. 1t is not too late for
housekeepers to give the germ de.
stroying process a trial the present
season.

Joe Howard on Rum.

An hour ago met one of the bright.
est men on the metropolitan press
Twenty years ago he was .facile prjn-
cepS. Ten years ago he was the man
aging editor of a great daily. To,
night he begged drink from me,and
when ! rendered him a dollar he
thanked me with tears in his eyes
Make no mistake about this man.
He's on tare now, but in less than
ten days he'll be making his $3.50 a
week as easy as rolling off a log
Rum gets us all. The bane of New
York life is whisky. They all drink
it. Actors, managers, critics, dry
goods men and everybody else are
slaves to drink. 1t is the curse of the
age in which we live. A generation
of"bright fellows" die out every five
years.

Care of Pastures.

A good permanent pasture, handy
to the barnyard, is very convenient,
almost a necessity on every well reg.
ulated farm. Such a field needs to
be well fertilized and cared for, that
it may give the best returns in an
abundant supply of green food, for
farm stock. A top-dressing Of fine
well-rotted manure in winter is ex.
cellent, but if not done, a dressing of
30 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre may be applied. 1t is best
TO SOW this just before a shower, that
the.rain may carry this very soluble
food to the roots of the plants. After
supplying the necessary fertilizers,
it is important not to over-stock the
pasture. Let the adjustment be-
tween the number Of animals and
the capacity of the field be such that
there may be good feeding through
out the whole season. If such a
pasture has a natural spring, its
value is much increased, next to this
is well, provided with windmill,
for raising an abundant supply of
-water.-American Agricultmist.

Regular Feeding Of Cows.

Good food and pure water regular
ly given, are most essential points in
feeding cows. 1t has been proven
that COWS, which have been ted reg.
ularly upon food somewhat inferior,
have yielded more milk than those
to which richer food has been given,
yet not at regular intervals. Irregu.
larity in the hours of feeding is in.
variably followed by smaller sup.
ply of milk, and where this falling
of has taken place it takes some
time for the COW to resume giving
her proper quantity, or that which
she has been accustomed to do with
regular feeding.

l will now state that made a miracu-
lous cure OF one OF the worst cases Of skin
disease known. The patient is a man for
ty years old; had suffered fifteen years.
His eyes, scalp and nearly his whole body
presented a frightiul appearance. Had
had the attention of twelve different ply
sicians, who prescribed the best remedies
known to the profession, such as iodide
potassium, arsenic, corrosive sublimate,
sarsaparilla, etc. Had paid $500 for medi-
cal treatment with but little relief. Ipre-
vailed upon him to use the CuTlcuRA and
CuTICURA SOAP externally. He did so, and
was completely cured. The skin on his head,
face, and many other parts OF the body,
which presented a most loathsome APP
pearance, is now as soft and smooth as an
infants, with no scar or trace OF the dis
ease left behind. He has now been cured
twelve months. Reported by

The grim Lynch who is Judge, jury
and executioner, is abroad in the
land. He never moves except under
strong provocation, and he never
makes a mistake in his man. The
survival OF Lynch shows two things.
One is the sturdy virtue of the popu-
lar mass. The other the criminal
failure of the execution OF the Grim.

SoLIDIFYING THE DEAD.-Every corpse
that is taken to the Paris Morgue is now
quickly converted into block almost as
hard as stone. This result is obtained by
Cares chemical refrigerator, which is cap
able OF reducing the temperature of the
conservatory, where each body is laid out
on something closely resembling a camp
bedstead in stone, to l5' below zero cent?
grade. At the back of this room is a row
OF stove-hke compartments, in which the
corpses are boxed up and frozen hard be-
fore being exposed to public view. As an
illustration of the intense cold thus arti-
ficially secured, a Paris journalist, in de-
scriblng recent visit to the morgue, says
that in opening one of the compartments
the attendant took the precaution to wear
glove, lest &C his hand should be burnt by
contact with the cold IRON" The corpse
which was taken out of this receptacle had
been there nine hours. The doctor who
accompanied the visitor struck the dead
man on the breast with stick, and the
sound was just as if he had struck stone.

Some Tehama boys have caught queer

other day and caught large rat, which
looked like a Kangaroo, having the short
fore legs and pouch for the young animals.
The Reno Gazette says: A Chinaman
fishing in the Truckee yesterday caught a
thing that astonishes all who see it. 1t
has wings, fins and legs, and flies, swims or
walks with equal facility. 1t is entirely
unlike anything ever seen before, and is
really wonderful curiosity. The wings
are like those of flying, fish otherwise it
resembles a lizard, except that the head is
more pointed. 1t is about ten inches long,
and will weigh two pounds or so.
The early rain this fall has been damag.
ing to unhoused grain banked along the
rivers for shipment. Too much wheat has
gone to the rivers for shipment, considering
the carrying force employed in such trans
portation. While the early rains did much
damage, they also did much good. They
set the plows in motion. We did not re-
member season when there was so much
planting done in October as IN this. Sum.
mer. fallow is being sown. and much of it
is already coming up.-[Chico Record.

When completed the top of the levee will

mains to be thus protected. The total cost
of the levee work on that side OF the river
this season will reach $4,000 Marys-

Tuesday night another heavy rain.storm
fell, and the farmers are in jubilant spirits.
There seems to be no longer any prob
ability that the dry weather that may
intervene between these rains and the
winter storms will be of sufficient duration
to materially injure the growing crops.
Grain is growing finely, ard grass is already
high enough TO afford good grazing for
stock. Plenty of rain and fair winds will
insure a boom of prosperity among the
farmers of northern Solsno such as has
never before been equaled. -[Dixon Trib-
une.
The prospect for next crop is very good.
Farmers are busy blowing, and say the land
generally is in fine condition for working.
The grass was never better or more for
ward at this season of the year. Dairy
men tell US the outside pasture is better
now than it was in February of last year.
All kinds Of stock are consequently in fine
condition for the winter. We have had 40
frost about here yet, and the weather has
been balmiy and pleasant. The rains have
come just right for the country, and the
season, except for a few farmers who have
not thrashed, could not have been more

paying half a dollar person could throw
TX dice. If he threw six skies he took
gold if six aces, silver. No one ever did
it. 1t was next to an impossibility, and
the man raked in several hundred dollars
and left. A fellow travelling down in Ala
bama who mad scarcely money enough to
buy few bars of Transparent. soap, cut the
soap in very small pieces. wrapped them in
tissue. paper and tin-foil, sprinkled them
with cologne, took sponge saturated with
benzine and arnica, with it washed the
grease-spots out of coats and hats that
came along, pretending it was the soap,
and in three hours, with glib tongue and
and little rubbing, disposed of $50 worth
OF what had cost him almost nothing.
