A Smart Lawyer.

1 heard a very neat story the Other
day of performance of a New York
lawyer whose name has been conspicu.
Gus in reform politics across the East
River. He had been called down into
Pennsylvania to look after the interest
of client who owned q large tract of
wild land that he had never given any
attention to until recently, when he
heard that oil had been struck in that
neighborhood.
On arriving at the scene of action, the
New York lawyer made the agreeable
discovery that an enterprising oil COM
pany had bought a color of title from
one of the original proprietors of the
land, had Jumped ~ it after the most
approved fashion, and was Just finishing
its preparations for profiting by the dis
covery of oil on the territory,
The Pennsylvania lawyers were for
bringing an action of e ectment, but
their New York brother, when he re-
Elected that II would take eight months
to obtain hearing and two years to get
a final decision, during which time
every drop of oil would imallibly have
been pumped out, concluded that this
course of action had its disadvantages.
So he reeonnoitered the ground and
found that the squatting company had
just completed its works and was ready
to begin operations, and that the ma
chinery was in charge of three or four
men only On the following night the
guaEtiians were induced to leave the
place by a judicious exhibition of whisky
and greenbacks, and FIVE minutes after
wards the New Yorker had intrenched a
gang of men in the works.
The result is that the 9 jumpers have
been Jumped, and during the two
years which it win take them to press
their action for ejectment- if they con-
clude to bring 1.-THE proprietor of the

own claim Cor. A. T. World.

that this note originated in the fertile
imagination of classmate, the young
man went round, exhibiting the missive
to his ''chums," and asking their adj

to accept the invitation to meet his fair
correspondent, but his friends put the

Summer Management OF Pigs.

Every farmer should make the best
use of his resources. Grass is cheap
food for pigs, and q most healthy and
profitable diet. Much of the profit on
pigs must come from proper use of
grass as summer food. Some have ex-
pressed very grave doubts whether pigs
lives, but~we do not think there is any
doubt about it. For if the best feeding
will not payq for the food given pigs,
then they must be considered unprofita-
bic animals--Ta position wholly untena-
BILE, as it has been abundantly proved
that the pig is the best utilizer of food
on the farm. We fully believe in the
use Of grass for pigs; and, if obliged to
keep pigs constantly in pen, would carry
the grass to them, purely as matter of
health, but better health will make bet
ter thrift. We know that pigs will pay
profit when every pound of food from
the first to the last day of their lives is
charged at, the market price. But this
requires full feeding, with due regard to
every precaution for health.
If these doubters mean that the PIG
can not be fed, at profit. wholly upon
concentrated food, we shall not dispute
the conclusion. But it is not difficult
to give pigs the benefit of grass OF other
green food in pen. ~
. We fully believe in the economy of
pasture for pigs in summer, and that
every one who feeds "a considerable num-
Der. Of pigs should always provide past
tre for them. Pasture may furnish a
large part of their feod, and furnish it
cheaply; but grass should not be the cx-
elusive food, for, in that case, the
growth will be slow, although ahealthy
growth. Much valuable time is lost
by feeding pigs sparingly in summer,
for this should be the most rapidly
growing season; and if they only
half grow through this most
favorable season, and the other
half is put on in the cold season
with grain, the profit is largely if not
entirely lost. One-half or one-third of the
grain fed to pigs upon pasture that is
required to produce the winter growth,
would add quite as much.
1t should be, remembered that the
grass will give The food of support, be-
sides some food of production, and the
grain added willgo wholly to production
or profit. Whereas. if this extra growth
is delayed till winter, it will take as
much extra food to keep up animal
heat without growth as it would to
have produced the extra growth in
warm weather. 0i. .gl -E
1t is therefore, quite evident that pigs
Should be pushed rapidly forward in
summer, when everything is favorable
for the most rapid and healthy growth.

The Plaster Puzzle.

have known instances where plaster
sown on clover in irregular streaks
showed its effect as far as one could sec
the field; where an application of two
hundred pounds per acre no doubt made
n gainiof one ton of hay per acre. On
other fields and other soils twice that
quantity had no perceptible effect and
it apparently was thrown away. No
one can forecast results by looking at
the soil, or by any other means: practi-
cal test is the one and only way. 1 have
sometimes sown early in spring on clio
yer, and then again when the plants
were four or five inches high. and
though IT is a dirty job, prefer to have
the work done in the dewy morning.
Apply at the rate of about two hundred
pounds per acre, and il all nc once put
1t on broadcast by hand. or by plaster
Sowcr. about the time the plants begin
to cover the ground, and leave plots
here and there all over the field without
any, and one year will tell plainly
whether it will pay on your soil.
For corn it should be put on the hills
when the plants are two or three inches
high. Take IL in a bag over one shoul-
der, or in a pail on the left arm, and
with little practice YOU can pick up
with the thumb and fingers the right
quantity for hill, and by timing step
and motion of hand you soon get to 90
as fast as you can walk. Some take
two rows and take sufficient in the hand
for two hills. throwing to the right and
left rs they pass along. Try this in the
same way as recommended for clover.
and one season will tell very clearly
whether or not plaster will pay on that
kind of soil-though this fact should be
| borne in mind, that plaster has much
more and much better effect in some
seasons than in others. In season
quite dry. with frequent and light show
ers, plaster has always given me the
best results. .-.-..
But the fact should be remembered.
that plaster is in no sense manure, and
in and of itself has little or no value as
plant-fo1d. just how it helps we can not
say, and yet the fact is indisputable that
on certain plants on certain soils it does
exert wonderful influence. especially
on clover, peas, potatoes and sometimes
corn. Since, however, il is not a ma
nure, but a stimulant, any increase Of
crop by its use only so much more and
so much faster impoverishes our land.
and unless we follow such a system of
farming that we put back in real plant
food as much greater amount than ordi-
nary rs we remove in the increased
crop. we shall find that we are none the
richer'for using plaster, but have only
drawn our deposit from the bank so
much the sooner. But by so farming
that we use the increased crop of clover
or other plants to feed the more stock
and TO make the more manure, then the
application of plaster will be one of the
means TO proft.-J $. IPoodtCdrd, in

Hair-DreSsing.

High coiffures are again in vogue.
though the low coil on The nape of the
neck Is by no means abandoned. For
those who wear the high Elizabethan
ruifs, and others TO whom it is becom-
ing. the hair Is now arranged in two
small coils high on the crown that seem
to emerge from the French twist below.
The front middle hair is drawn back
from the forehead to these coils, while
on the temples are irregularly curved
locks of short hair. One or two shell
pins shaped like large hair-pins may be
thrust through the high coils for gem
eral wear; on dress occasions an al
grette or two short ostrich tips may be
worn high on the left side, or there may
be pins set with Jewels or with Rhine
stcHes. Young ladies who have the
low broad Greek forehead adopt the Sc

back more loosely,and allowed TO droop

shorter than it formerly was, and may

untidy-looking. The invisible net that
formerly fiattened the hair above the
forehead is now little used, bandoline is
abandoned. the curls are loose and un-
confined, and the hair has its natural
gloss heightened by much brushing in
stead of by use of pomades. Very lit
tie false hair is worn. Short switches
are arranged in coils. or. perhaps in a
bow. but are seldom braided or formed
in puffs. Occasionally short curls are
added just back of the ears, or low on
the nape of the neck. Older ladies part
the front hair in the middle, and draw
it back in long loose waves instead of in
close crimps; their back hair is ar
ranged in coil, which is rather small.

Many horses interfere, from weakness,
and cease to do so when they gain
strength and condition. This is more
particularly observable with fast horses.
Others do SO from a faulty conformation
of the limbs, which are sometimes too

The part of the foot which strikes Is
I between the toe and the inside quarter,
sometimes the inside quarter itself, but
very rarely the heels of the shoe. Ii the
horse turns his toe in it is very probable
that he wears the inside of the shoe
most; and If so, it should be made
much thicker than the outside; il the
contrary. the outside heel should BIZ
thicker than the inside. The shoe
should be 1eveled off on the inside
quarters which should also be free from

that a three-quarter-shoe viii prevent
striking when other plans fail; for here
the part which hits is not situated SO faI

removal of the iron altogether from the
