GEORGIA SNAKES.

We were sitting on the Po>toffice
steps at Ringgold, Ga, when Judge
Hallam winked me around the corner
and whispe red:
THE old chap on that cracker-box

State of Georgia. Ask him for shake

slid back looking innocent and
uncOncerned. and at the first opportu-
nifty inquired.
Colonel, are there any moccaSin
snakes in this State -
billions of EN-" he replied.
ANY very big Ones:'
"Well, | reckon! Yum! Don't talk
to me about big snakes :"
Colonel, how long u snake did you
ever see ~
He rolled his quid over and over and
got both hands over his left knee be-
fore replying: "l'm afraid you
wouldn't believe me"
0t"Yes,iI-that is-yes I would"
"YOu know that snakes grow
mighty fast down here
'Of course"
And that our swamps offer them IA
secure retreat ~
Certainly"
~ wouldn't have you doubt my
word" he remarked after - pause n
he squinted his left eye at a spotted
dog across the street.
'HOw could |. Colonel ."
He rose up slowly, stepped down
over the sand and paced oil about
forty feet, going over the ground lwi,'e
and counting his steps. When he
had returned and taken kis seat |
asked:
"Do you mean To tell me, Colonel.
that you have seen snake forty feet
long,"
"Oh, no. no :" he quickly replied.
81 was simply pacing Otto see il there
was room Ia plant six hitchiDg-posts
in there. The longest snake I ever
saw measured exactly ten inches by
the rule, and he had been dead three
days to boot.

A change Of SEED b often Of great ad-
vantage. Careful selection Is indis-
pensable In securing the best results.
No one thing IL Of more Importance
on the farm than the careful selection
Of seed.
ORDER EARLY.-TOO many think
that their order for improved machin-
cry can be filed the moment il il re-
ceived ut the manufactury. In many
cases IL cannot be done. Machinery
for making syrup and sugar is likely
to be short Of the demand this season,
and the prompt orders, given SOON,
are the only ones that in many cases
can be filed. The manufacturer can
not supply beyond the capacity of
his works. II sorgum machinery is
wanted, send by next mail for eata-
logues, and get in the order early.
Send for catalogues and keep posted,
whether you order this year or defer
IL to the next.

A correspondent Of the Detroit Free
Pres gives her recipe for canning corn
with with she says she has had great
success: sUse Mason's glnss 1ars.
Take nice green corn, cut from the cob
with sharp knife-with the back Of
the knife scrape the cob To get all the
sweetness possible-see that your jars
are perfect, no cracks, put In the corn
with the small end Of your potato
masher and pack il in. A quart jar
will take twelve or thirteen ordinary
ears. When the jar il plump full put
on the rubbers, screw on the covers
almost perfectly tight. I screw 1t a.
tight Is can with the thumb and I'm.
ger. Put hay or cloths in the bottom
of your wash-bOiler, lay in the cans of
corn any way you please-put little
cloths in to keep them from hitting
each other-fill the boiler as full as
you wish, cover over with cold water,
set II over the fire. When II begins to
boil, boil thres hours without ceasing.
Then take out, and with your tighten.
er make as tight as possible imnedi-
ately. After they are cold tighten
again il you can. Put away i'm dark
cool place. l keep mine In q dark
closet in the cellar. Peas and succo-
fash are fine put up the same way"

The Farmers Magieine gives the
following hint On watering horses
IL the plan works fnvorably with q
travelling horse, why not with horses
at the pillow, reaper, or rake: We see
no reason why y horse should not
have his thirst quenched more than
three times q day. Horses require
water as well as do men. and should
have ii every five or six miles. IL the
weather is warm. II the horse Is very
much overheated, just before coming
To u watering place, say q quarter of q
mile or SO before, "slow up" to u
walk, and when you get where you
can give the horse water. he will have
become cooled off considerably then.
too, he should have his mouth spOnged
out, and q half q buckstful Of water.
Nothing refreshes q tired, jaded horse
so much as q drink Of water, and II
he has il nj regular intervals, he will
keep up over long distance. He can
do much better, for u whole day and
over "a long journey. without food,
than without water. II this item of
water was more properly attended
To, we should hear of fewer cases of
horses being overcome by the heat
during the warm summer months

There are some horses whose dispo-
sitions are naturally SD kindly that
they heed no special training In that
direction. But, as q rule, it is best to
begin their education early, and the
earlier the better. Petting and fond
ling have the same effect on u colt
that they do on a child they draw
him TO you. beget his confidence, and
teach him to depend upon you for
many things. When you first break
him To the halter, il, indeed he is not
50 gradually broken 81 as to submit to
the halter at the very first without OBJ
lection, h9 should he made to feel
that it was only a step in education,
instead of into slavery. He should be
made to hear your voice gladly, and
To understand that your presence Is
always his gain. The degree of intel
ligence with which he holds his nose
to be rubbed, or lays it on his should
ers To be patted, is in striking con-
trast will, the fear other horses will
manifest in your presence. A little
attention to colts at the right time
will be more than repaid by them in
their ripper years.-N. y. .Sun.
Charcoal for Sick Animals.
In nine cases out Of ten, remarks an

il the most efficient and rapid cura-
tive. The hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
cows was very sick. and kind neigh
bor proposed the usual drug and pOis-
ons. The owner being i'll and unable
to examine the cow, concluded that
the trouble came from Over-eating,
and ordered n teaspOOnful Of pulver-
lied charcoal to be given in water. 1t

Clean Paint.

When paint Is washed with any
strong alkaline solution, such as soda
or strong soap, the oil Of the paint is
liable To be changed To soap, and the
paint is seriously injured. To avoid
this take some Of the best whiting,
have ready some clean warm water
and a piece of flannel, which dip into
the water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take up rs much whiting rs will adj
here to it, apply it to the painted sur.
face, when "a little rubbing will quick ly
remove any dirt or grease stains.
After this wash the part well with
clean water, rubbing il dry with soft
cliauiois. Paint thus cleaned will look
rs well as when first put on, and the
operation may be tried without fear of
injury to the most delicate cOlOrs. 1t
answers far better than the use Of soap,
and does not require more than one
half the time and labor. Another
simple method Is the following: Put
tablespoonful of aqua-ammonia in q
quart of moderately hot water, dip in
a flannel cloth, and with this merely
wipe over the surface of the wood
work. No rubbing is necessary. The
first recipe is preferable, except where
the paint is badly discolored.-Er.

A Cat and a Bird.

On Sunday last we witnessed singu-
lar contest between a hooking bird and
a cat. When first observed the bird was
on the ground, about three feet from the
cat, singing a shriling, triumphant
melody, that held its enemy entranced.
The bird had come under the mesmeric
influence of the cat and could not get
away, and the cat, charmed by the mel
ody of the bird, could not eat it. Several
times it would crouch, give its tail q
switching motion and prepare to spring,
but the bird would approach, warbling
in milder strain, and puss would rub
her head against it, purringin that man.
ner so peculiar to these animals when
pleased.
We watched TO see how this novel con-
test would end, and even tried to fright
en- the bird away, but the cat caught it
up in her mouth, ran off a short distance,
put it upon the ground and let the little
creature sing, seeming perfectly content
with its music. We again approached,
took the cat up, when the bird also flew
up tree near by and seemed deeply dis
tressed, the cat meanwhile cycling Twist
fully. At last we succeeded in soaring
the bird away and put the cat down,
when it Immediately started off to hunt
up the bird. Whether it succeeded in
finding it or not we can not say.-Ameri-
