Sensitive to destinations.

The Kentuckian's admiration for fine
horses is the strongest feeling in his nature.
He cares very little whether or not the pub
lie cntertains a favorable opinion of him, but
he wants every one TO think well OF his
horse. Some time ago the editor of the Ken
tuchy .Strte Jownal, published at Newport,
KY published local item concerning a
horse well known in the community. Short
" afterward a man entered the office with a
revengeiul air and said:
My name is Squire ,Iaggles, and am not
tender hearted man, let me tell you. | I'M
dersiand that you have flung reflections on
the character of my horse"
II don't know" replied the editor chat
said anything derogatory to the character of
your horse, merely insisted that you stole
the animal but did not say anything To, in
the least, injure his character"
CHATS all right then. ! don't care who
says stole him but blamed if any man shall
say that he can't rum"

Cabbage.

A writer in the Homestead, of Pnttonville,
Iowa, says
The prevailing custom of raising cabbage
plants in II hotbed or frame and afterwards
lransplanting them is n mistake. We have
eXperimtnted for several years, using both
modes, and invariably get the best results
from planting the seed in the hills where we
wish them to grow planting three or four
seed in each hill and thinning tkem out after
they show the fourth leaf, taking the poorest
plants out and leaving only the strongest
plant, Last year of my cabbage planted in
this way, several weighed over twenty five
pounds, while those from plants carefully
set out in the usual way and with the same
cultivation, would weigh scarcely ten pounds.
Transpanting checks the growth nj the most
critical time, and the retarded plant shows
the effects during the entire season and Isles
likely to head.
MADE HIS MOUTH WATER Uncle Ike
was one day on Il mule, and had n little negro
boy behind him.
"Tel you what, Uncle Ike, 'possum mighty
good thing" said the boy.
"Yas It's" said Uncle Ike, as the mule
struck brisk trot, urged thereto Ivy the old
mans switch.
Especially when he's got lots o gravy wild

Uncle Ike was silent, but seemed restless.
"An' when you got some roasted taiers to
sop in de gravy" said the boy
Uncle Ike used his switch with nervous
energy, and the mule increased its speed toa
gallop.
YES, ING Ike, when de 'possum right
