LADIES' COLUMN.
Naming the Baby.

The pious old Puritans gave the
queerest names to their children
you ever heard One pious old
Puritan, who had the dreadful, har-
rowing name of Barebones, to begin
with called his son Praise God"
1t took Puritan TO do it with such
a name as that. Another was called
"Selah," and another "Mahershalal-
hasbaz." We heard of a more re-
cent father who named his twins
"Boreas and Zephyr" of one who
numbered his children, thus: ''Pri-
mus" 'Secundus," etc, and of a
gentleman by the name of New who
called his first child Something"
and the second Nothing"
Many years ago, in ante-revolu-
tiOnary days, Jonathan Meigs
coulted young lady who rejected
his addresses. Meigs continued to
love the girl, and, though too proud
to try a second time to win her, he
! determined never to marry any one
else, and to live and die a bachelor
unless she relented. After a few
years the lady did relent, and sent
4 letter to her former sutton. Meigs
got the letter and found in it only
two words: Return, Jonathan" 1t
is enough. Jonathan did return
and made her his wife Their first
child was baptized Return iona
than and from that day to this
there has been a Return ]. Meigs in
every generation. One of them was
NJ. c. Meigs. late quartermastel
general.
The wife of Jacob Squires, a resi-
dent Of a distant "outport" where
schoolmasters were scarce, applied
to the parson for the baptism of heI
baby. The good lady explained to
the parson that her skipper had
gone to the Labrador, and had left
express orders that if a girl, she
was to be christened by the name Of
"Hyena.' The parson was startled
and shocked at the idea of labelling
an infant with such a dreadful name
and told the mother that she must
have made a mistake, and that il
would never do to give the name OF
a beast of prey to a christian child
Mrs. Squires persisted in saying
that there was no mistake, and that
she dared not diverge from the order
of her skipper After much per
suasiOn he induced her to defer the
baptism till the shippers return.
On his arrival, he called on the
parson and explained, that his 'old
woman had made a mistake, and
that he had directed the baby to be
christened, not "Hyena," but
Joseph Hyena."
The parson pondered a moment
and then the mystery cleared up.
oh! l see it; Josephine you want
to name your child"
That's it exactly, parson," said
Jacob, 'but you see we couldn't
rightly get our tongues around it
when we saw it in print. We can
call her Josey for short, bless her
little heart, so Joseph Kinney be it"

overstocking Pastures.

The overstocking of land Is one
of the surest and quickest ways of
running pastures. 1t is an every
day thing with many farmers, who
cannot be made to believe that they
are getting the full benefit of a pas
ture unless the grass is eaten of
little faster than it has time to
grow; consequently all who put
this method in practice always have
bare pastures and poor cattle. The
advantages to be derived from al
lowing the grass to gain on the cat
tie during the growing season are
many; among which are the follow
ing: Cattle which are kept growing
all the time come to maturity at 4
proper age. Animals kept con-
stantly on bare pastures never ma
ture properly; those kept on good
pastures do not have to work day
and night to satisfy their appe-
titles, or use up all their food in
building up a system worn down by
partial starvation. A good cover
ing Of grass is a protection to a pas
ture. 1t is natures protection
against the effects of bad and dry
weather and the cold rains of win
ter, so that new grass will be grow
ing under a covering of the old
crop. 1t is true that cattle will
thrive better ON q mixture of old
and new grass, while the seeding Of
the mature grasses will keep up the
full variety of those kinds native tC
the soil. Consequently pastures
thus treated produce more food fol
stock during the year than those
kept continually eaten down to the
bare earth. The practice of keep
ing pastures in good condition is
easily done upon large farms, wher,
reserve fields can be provided, but
even the small farmer can succeed
in having renewed and fertile pas
lures, if he but study the laws o
nature, and practice according tC
the knowledge thus acquired Chi

Comb honey is more expensive
than distracted honey. 1t costs
Just twice the labor to bees and
keeper to produce the former that it
does the latter. 1t takes just twice
as long for the bees to build a set OF
combs as it it does to fill them with
honey.
A generous disposition, therefore,
as well as a spirit of economy, must
ever favor the use of distracted
honey, for thereby We have an in
creased amount of equal quality
produced at far less cost, bringing it
to the tables of double the number
of households.
The argument of healthfulness
also lies strongly IN favor of eX-
tracted honey. l should hardly
presume it would be necessary to
inform intelligent parents that wax
of any kind Is not 4 healthy diet
for themselves or their children.
Children sometimes chew wax to
the slight detriment of their health,
but no child would of its own &C
cord swallow or eat it while reason
held its throne. Does the wiser pa
rent give it comb honey? Wax dis
guised in honey so that it can be
swallowed, goes on the mission of
mischief. clogging the stomach, con

Our farmers are st last forced to
appreciate the fact that they can no
longer cuItive their lands in cotton
and save them from utter ruin and
themselves from hopeless poverty.
Alas Alas the blanched, lifeless
soil. and CHASTITY gullies of the fields
have forced this startling truth
upon them and they are forced to
see that they must change their
methods snd lift themselves out of
the old ruts or bankruptcy and dire
calamities must surely follow.
There are many sections in the
southern counties OF Middle, and q
large portion of West Tennessee that
may grow cotton proftably, but l
will only admit that even in these
sections it should be merely the
surplus crop, and that the grain
and grass crops, and live stock be
grown TO consume it on the farm
upon which it is produced, is the
chief hope of the country, at least
that of Tennessee Maj Roy in
Southern Industries.

Queen Cells.

Queen cells are those which re
semble peanuts on the side of the
combs, and are usually constructed
so as to hang perpendicularly,
(they are much larger than any of
the other cells in the comb which
causes the queen to be developed
with her head downward, and al
lows the organs of reproduction to
be fully developed. The queen cell
is sometimes built around the egg,
and 1T other times the egg is car
ried by the workers and placed in
the cell, and royal jelly is also
placed in the cell with the egg.
which helps, with that of the cell,
to change its nature from that of Il
worker to that of a royal queen.
Her royalty passes about three days
in the egg, five days grub or larvae,
during which time the workers de
posit so much royal in the cell that
the Larvae fairly floats in the jelly
like mass. The cell is then closed

tenth, eleventh and twelfth days it
remains in complete repose; then it
is that transformation takes place,
in which four days are passed, and
generally on the sixteenth day the
perfect state of the queen is at
tanned. When she first energies
from the cell she seeks her own
food like any other bee. No very
particular attention is paid to her
until after her impregnatiOn; but as
soon as that has taken place, she is
at once recognized and constantly
attended by the worker bees. But
her attendants are not any special
or certain bees set apart for that
purpose, as is often stated by some
writer's, but whenever the queen
moves among the bees they seem to
detail themselves in sufficient num-
bers for the purpose of feeding and
caressing her in all her labOrs-

Hints n IairvirR

l. The cream should be removed
from the milk before the latter has
become sour The reason for this
Is easily explained As soon a. the
milk begins 10 turn, curd is pro
duced, and it i then impossible to
remove the cream without taking
of some OF the curd also. Curd
means cheese, and if curd Is made
mp with cream into butter, the latter
must necessarily have a cheesy
tlavor, and will in q short time be
come strong and very inferior IN

People will be foolish probably to
the end of time. They will con-
tinue to 90 to their broker for adj

buy or refrain from buying; to the
doctor to learn whether they are

stead of their conscience, for relig-

decide for money what they could
easily decide for themselves with

in each case, and everybody is will

Every one realizes the benefit
there is in applying fertilizers to
garden and field crops, but they
quite forget the fruit orchard. The
reason why apple trees often bear
fruit only on alternate years is that
nature is giving the trees 4 rest. 1t
is quite as reasonable to suppose
that good crops may be taken from
4 field where no manure is used
year after year Is TO expect good
yields of apples, pears, plums, etc,
when the orchard soil is not aided
in recuperating its wasted ener-
gies." Manure should not be piled
up about the trunks Of the trees
simply, but spread out certainly as
the branches extend. The soil
about small trees especially should
be kept loose and not allowed to
harden and bake.

should then be thrown into the

or more lots of water should be used
until the butter is thoroughly

quite an error to suppose that after
butter once forms more can be OBJ
tanned by further churning. Every
revolution after the granules are

Among early potatoes There are
several competitors for popular IA
vor; but for good quality, earliness,
and yield, the following are worthy
of mention: Beauty of Hebron,
Early Ohio, Clark's No. l, Early
Vermont, Early Snowflake, Early
Rose. The last, however, seems to
have had its day in some localities;
yet, by some farmers, it is put at
the head of the list. ''Shall we
plant in hills or driIls?' is a ques-
ton often asked. Experience has
shown us that hill cultivation is
preferable for keeping the weeds
down. and with less labor, since the
cultivor can be run both ways and
the hand-hOe used to better advan-
tage. As to yield, there is but lit
tie difference. In some instances
the one way has given better results
| the other in others. Flat cultlYa
ton of both potatoes and corn Is
being successfully practlced by
| some farmers.
