FARM AND PRESIDE.

Gull your sheep every year and
place those that are in any way off in a
separate pasture and fatten them for
the butcher. t#st
London World says that after a
days fatiguing exercise the right food,
restorative and nourishing because of
its richness, is tame duck praised with
turnips.
This paragraph from the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger does not look
much like diversified agriculture: ''In
a ride of 400 miles a few days since,
where year ago the land looked like a
green carpet, we did not see oats suf-
ficient to promise forage for one mule
during the blowing season.
Lima beans, like onions, are an ex-
ception to the general rule that requires
rotation in farm crops. Isaac Eyre
stated at Pennsylvania agricultural
society's meeting, recently, that the
Landreths have raised Limas on the
same ground for many years with much
the same experience as results from
raising onions in the same way.
"A western farmer in Iowa esti-
mates that the profit of raising one two
year-old shorthorn steer for market is
equal to that of eighteen scrub steers,
which have to be kept three years or
more before they are salable. Grade
up with thoroughbred bulls and let
scrub stock grow where they can afford
them as relics.
General Babcock endorses the En-
glish sparrow, which, he says, eats the
eggs which otherwise would result in
devastating swarms of worms which
clear the trees of leaves and imperil the
fruit. Whoever has observed the habits
of the sparrow will agree to this. Aye,
and more; for not only does he prevent
the worms from destroying the leaves,
but be keeps them out of cherries and
blackberries by eating the fruit himself.
"A culinary sage was asked what
was the best sauce for fish. He re-
piled, all sauces. Nearly all the savory
gravies accommodate themselves to fish.
Vinegar and mustard are the best sauce
for fresh behring's. Champignons are

Enects Of Sunlight On Flour.

IL frequently happens that wheat on
rye -four, in spite of the greatest care a,
baking, yields an inferior loaf. and
the failure is commonly attributed
to adulteration; but when submitted ia
investigation neither microscopic nor
chemical tests reveal any adulteration.,
Such flour is returned to the miller or
dealer as unfit for use.f The miller saws
the flour was injured by the heating Of
the stones, and the dealer attributes the
defect to the circumstance, that the sun
must have shone upon the sacks during
transportation. It has been proved bY
numerous experiments that flour cannot
bear the action of the sun, even when
not exposed directly to its rays. When
Hour is exposed to the heat of the sun
an alteration takes place in the gluten
similar TO that produced BY the heating
OF the stones. For this reason it is adj
visable that the transportation of -four
should take place, if possible, on cool
days or BY night, as well as that flour
should be stored in a cool place.

Tobacco on the Young.

We have referred to the action Of some
foreign authorities in forbidding the use
of tobacco by the young-tbs prohibi-
ton being based on the fact that tobac-
co lessons their future capacity of SER
vice to the State, especially in military
life.
In full accord with this Is the Report
of DIR. Gihon, Medical Director, q. s. n.
In retiring from the Institution he de-
sired to leave il rs his last utterance
that '.beyond all other things, the future
health and usefulness of the lads educat-
ed at this school require the absolute
Introduction of tobacco"
In this opinion he is, he says, sustain
ed by his colleagues; by all other SAM
tarians in military and civil life whose
views he had been able to learn; and by
the known belief of the officer who was
to succeed him.
The fact thatso many adults can use to.
baccO with apparent IMMUNITY is, in bis
view, no argument in favor of its use by
growing lads, for while 1t arrests waste
of tissue in the former. this very arrest
of waste in the young is connected with
retarding of their normal develop
ment.
He adds, "An agent, which, through
its sedative effect on the circulation,
creates a thirst for alcoholic stimula-
ton; which, by its depressing and dis
turbing effect on the nerve centres, in.
creases bad passions; which determines
diseases of the heart; which impairs
vision, blunts the memory, and inter.
feres with mental effort and application.

Goldfish Balls or Death,

There was singular case up for trial
in the Justices court the other day ut
Sawtooth. The question to be decided
by the justice was whether q restaurant
keeper Is justified in shooting q man for
refusing to eat his Goldfish balls. The
Judge Of the law and justice decided
yes. The case was as follows: The pro-
prietor of q Sawtooth restaurant placed
q plate of codtish-balls on the table of a
young man. and regular boarder, who
had seated himself for a grub. The
boarder was calmly and peacefully stow
ing away the victuals, but didn't take in
any of the Goldfish balls.
The restaurant-keeper approached
him, and said in o commanding tone of
voice: "You eat them Goldfish balls.'
II don't like Goldfish balls" replied the
boarder.
"You eat them Goldfish balls, I tell
your
II tell you won't; I don't like 'em. -
II tell you once more to eat them
Goldfish balls. If you don't I'll sh' 1t
you;" and the restaurant-keeper started
for his pistol. The boarder saw he had
to do one of three things-eat the cod
fish balls, refuse again and be filled with
leaden bullets, or skip. He skipped
Just as his coat-tail was vanishing out
at the door tho irate restaurant-keeper
blazed away, but missed him. The
boarder had him arrested. The justice,
in his dignity, decided that the propri-
etor of a hash-house was perfectly justi-
fable in shooting at boarder with in

Returning one night from the theatre,

a diamond-paste pin which he supposed
to be real-thought it easy work to rob
SO slight youth. Fechter's hot blood
and practised muscle soon undeceived

Fechter; II am entirely unarmed, and
you can have it all your own way; but
as you want nothing Of me but my dia-
mond pin, it is hardly worth killing me,
when you can have 1t on easier terms"
