EFFECTS OF FEEDING Com TO
YOU'VE SgoeK.-Corn meal is a very
defective food, being rich in starch
chiefly, anddefcient in nitrogen and
phosphates. It should be given

An Irishnlan had sold his farm

He claimed that stable manure

boys.
"Well-yes, if you want to-" said
he; .and I'll be much obliged to

So directly after dinner they set
to work. 1t didn't look like very
large rock. But it was a good deal
larger than it looked, really.
POOH said Herbie; "rll take
it out in no time!!'' and he got

rock. But the stick broke and
Herbie got fall, from which he
jumped up red and angry.

he put his hands in his pockets and
watched Hal and Had tug at it un-

afternoon was very warm, and the
three little scarlet faces needed
great deal of mopping. But the
boys would't give it up.

But just then a great shout an

and there-there where the rock

TOMATOES.

This is the general faYorite of the
vegetable garden, and hints about
their culture are always timely.
The early spring crop generally
fails towards the latter part of the
summer and fall. To ensure q full
supply through the season, it is
necessary to have second crop.
This can be secured either by SOW.
ing seed at once, (early in June,) or
taking cuttings from the old plants
little later. In using cuttings
take the tender growing shoots,
say about six to eight inches in
length, stripping off the lower
leaves, and set them in the ground,
leaving only about an inch out. It
is more safe to plant them out in
nursery beds, closely, where they
can be easily watered in dry wealth
er. When the roots are well form
ed they can then be planted ont
where they are to stand This lat
ter crop viii be in full bearing when
frost comes, and all the fruit, green
or ripe, can be gathered and spread
out in some room, where they will
go on ripening, thus extending
the season about a month later.
We have followed this plan for
years, and have had them on the
table until the middle or end Of
December Weekly Neaos.

PRESERVING FENCE POSTS.

In building a fence around our
young orchard, several years ago,
we tried many plans for preserY-
ing the posts. Having occasion to
remove the fence this winter we
noted the condition of the posts as
follows: Those set with no prepa-
ration were decayedan inch or more
in thickness, those coated with
thick wash of lime were preserved
but were quite seriously attacked
by worms those posts coated with
hcs ID were perfectly sssslyssaaa ssa
when first put in the ground those
painted with petroleum and kero
sene were equally sound, as good
as new. In future we shall treat
all posts in the following manner
before setting: Let the post get
thoroughly dry, and then, with pan
of cheap kerosene and whitewash
brush give the lower third offs the
post, the part to go into the ground,
two or three good applications of
the oil, letting it soak in well each
time. Posts so treated will not be
troubled with worms or insects of
any kind, but will resist decay to
remarkable degree. This we find
to be the simplest, easiest, cheapest
and best method Of preservation.

Natural Appetites.

In order to distinguish poison-stim-
ulant from harmless and nutritive
substance, Nature has thus furnished
US three infallible tests:
l. The first taste of every poison is
either insipid or repulsive.
z. The persistent obtrusion of the
noxious substance changes that aversion
into specific craving.
3. The more or less pleasurable ex
element produced by qualification of
that craving is always followed by .
depressing reaction.
The first drop of wholesome bever-
age (milk, cold water, cider fresh from
the press, etc. is quite as pleasant as
the last; the indulgence in such pleas
ures is not followed by repentance, and
never begets specific craving. Pan.
cakes and honey we may eat with great
relish whenever we can get them, but, if
we can't, We won't miss them as long
as we can satisfy our hunger with bread
and butter. In mid-winter when ap-

A Turk may breakfast for thirty years

Too Intimate with q Kinn

howard Russell, then of the London
Itnes, the Times being perfectly will
ing that Mr.. Russell should earn $15.-
COO year for giving out his letters in
duplicate to newspaper printed 5000
miles away from the Times office
Mr.. Russell, after accepting an en-
gagement at $4,000 year to write for
the Sun, wrote to Mr.. Dana asking how
he should send his letters.
by cable, was Mr.. Dana's cable
gram to the distinguished military
critic
''Now everybody knows that William
Howard Russell's letters, whether from
the Army of the Potomac or from any
other point, will average from 5000 to
10000 words, and Mr.. Russell, finding
himself engaged to telegraph so vol
uminously to little two-cent newspa-
per in New York City, undoubtedly
said to himself: If l have employers
so enterprising it behooves me to stir
myself, and show them that / am

would seem to demand that [ should

forthwith posted off for King William,

derstand, the Emperor.

Meantime George w. Smalley, who,
as everybody knows, has been for years
past the London correspondent of the

they could by hook and by crook, and
telegraph to him every night in Lon
