after serving with the three months men in
the Eleventh Ohio, re-enlisted and served two
and half years in the Forty fourth Ohio. I
had two brothers in the Ninety fourth Ohio,
one in the Twelfth Kansas, two in the one-year

of us were killed, wounded, captured, nor ever

SULPHUR AS AN INsEcrIcIpE.

We occasionally see sulphur recommended
for killing insects. We do not know of any in
sect that viii be destroyed by busting sulphur
over ii, that would not be as readily destroyed
if busted with sand, -four, or even sawdust.
Insects Of all kinds, so far as we have seen, will
crawl over or through sulphur without being
in the least Inconvenience. Sulphur is a
remedy for mildew, or rather the sulphurous
gases which are liberated by heat; but caution
must be exercised in heating it; if burned.
gases are then formed which are deadly poison
to vegetation of all kinds

EAR MARKS OF BUTTER COWS.

At q late meeting of Dairymen's Associations
experienced dairymen said that they attached
much importance to the color of the inside
of the ear of COW as test of her butter-pro-
ducing ability. A rich yellow color on the
inside of the ear, one speaker said, he had never
known to fail as a sign of good butter COW,
and one that would give him rich milk DIR.
Sturteyant regards the color of the ear a good
guide, but calls attention to the necessity, when
observing, for clearing away the secretions
that may have accumulated ON the skin, and
which may be darker than the skin itself

remark, shook his head. When you are old

We would ask Major Hugh T. Brooks what
he proposes TO suggest TO nurserymen. Would
he always use gratis from trees filled with fruit
BUGS and thus, according TO his assumed n.y.
pothcsis, produce trees that will only show
flower buds, and make no effort to grow shoots?
III the major had ever grown fruit, he would
know that the buds are only of annual dnra-
ton and have but little chance of establishing
a faculty, because the next crop of buds do not

taller in one ofthe central New York cities,
and informed that while he had better call
upon him, the firm would uot be dsap-
pointed should he fail to transact any busi-

bow confidently. Arriving at the. city in
question. he paid his first call upon the
man he had been warned against. He found
him sitting upon high stool before desk,
porlng over the pages of a ledger. As the
drummer entered he just turned his head,
took in the sample case, said "Humph,"
and went on with his figures. After
lapse OF five minutes he said without look
ing up;
"Ifvou're a drummer don't want 10 see
you, SO don't waste time here"
But Pm not a drummer" was the
reply. "
"What in - are you, then?' inquired
the retailer.

"Ifyou only knew it, there is a man in

that would give hundred dollars to talk

what sort OF man is he 2'
"He's deaf and dumb"
At this response the retailer came down
