GOOD NEWS FROM TEXAS.

IL
Mr.. THOMAS A. HOWARD, Of Honey Grove Fannin
County, Texas, under date of April s. 1885. writes as
follows: 4
"Ihave been suffering during several years from
severe illness, and q general breaking down Of my
physical system, and have tried the treatment and pre-
s~criptions of many doctors far and near, and Travelled
to the Hot Springs and other mineral springs famous
for their remedial qualities. drinking the waters and
bathing systematically in their healing depths but all
to no avail, asI steadily failed in health; and although
informed by my physicians that my ailments and weak.
nesses were the result of kidney disease of q dangerous
character, they could give me nothing % cure me.
During the past two years my sunerings at times were
dreadful. and 1 had the most indescrfbable pains in the
regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms OF which
were SO severe as to render it impossible for me to
sleep. While in this dcplorable and discouraged con-
dition 1 was persuaded TO try Hunts Remedy. and aft
or using less than half q bottle my great sufierings and
paroxysms of pain were entirely relieved, and I could
sleep better and longer than 1 had In two years before,
and although 1 am now on my third bottle only myim-
provement is very remarkable, and I regret that I did
not know of the wonderful curative powers Of Hunts
Remedy before, as It would have saved me years Of
suffering. 1 heartily It to all afdictcd with
any kidney disease or disease Of the urinary organs"

Bill Hedger was a gardener
Who earned his daily meat
BY toiling ~zealously all day
His Zea was hard to beat.
He was a man of tender parts,
And thoughtful for his years
Zen lei he cut his onions down
His ayes would fill with tears.
He was SO pitiful and kind
He'd dread to cut his lawn:
But though he'd never shock his friends
He'd often shock his corn.
a score OF carrots oft he'd give
To feed q widows kline;

His wretched horse could hardly creep,
Bill propped him while,he grazed;
He SAID he'd have a better steed
= When his celery was raised.
He'd sometimes califower to him
y When he had done his work
He loved it stewed in buttermilk,
Or boiled with greens and pork.
But death at last moved william down,
And they planted him in loan,
And gave him for his epitaph-

Take Care of Your Orchard Trees.

When the owner visits his young orchard
after the SHOWS have melted away in spring,
he often makes the disheartening discovery
that many of his trees have been girdled by
mice OF rabbits. Judging from our own
correspondence, the damage by these AMI
mails must IN the aggregate be very heavy
The first thing to be done is to examine
the extent of the injury. Frequently it is
not so bad as it looks, and the inner bark is
not entirely removed lf this covers even
q fourth Of the wounded portion, and con-
meets the bark above the wound with that
below it, the chances are that the wound
will heal if drying can be prevented. The
ordinary grating wax, applied on old, worn
cotton cloth, or on paper, as used in graft
ing, should be applied over the injured
portion. This, especially on quite small
trees, will prevent all evaporation. Anoth
er application is the old grating clay made
by thoroughly mixing and beating together
stiff clay with half as much cow manure.
Apply this over the wound quite thlckly,
aud iasten it in place by wrapping with an
old cloth and tying with strings. If them
ner bark is completely gone, nothing re
mains but to bridge over the wound with
cions, and thus restore the communication
between the roots and the top. The cions
may be taken from the the same tree ifLhey
can be spared, or those from another Of the
same kind will answer as well.-Am. Aqri'

COLUMN,
Improving Farm Homes and Grounds.

Improving Farm Homes and Grounds.
The immediate surroundings Of farmers
homes generally are far from being as at
tractlve in appearance as they can easily be
made. Indeed the rural front yards are, as
rule, much less beautiful and interesting
than those OF people in the same general
circumstances in towns aud cities. In the
latter, lawns are well cared for, and choice
ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowers, are
much oltener met with than about country
homes. There is no valid reason for this
Such embellishments are not more easily
acquired in the city, but just the reverse.
The farmer has teams, implements and
manures for putting the house grounds in
the best condition for ornamental treat
meut; labor is quite as cheap as in town,
while sodding lawn costs far less in the
country. Trees and plants are as cheap to
the farmer as 10 any ono, while in many
places some Of the best kinds for ornament
can be had from the woods for the digging.
There may be points in which life on the
farm lacks the attractions common to town
life, but in charming home grounds the
farmer is certainly to blame if the city
dweier excels him. 1t is often wondered
why country life has not charms sufficient
to hold the boys to the farm, and that they
grow up longing for the city. II more at
tcution were given to making their home
surroundings more cheerful and attractive
Tor the sons and others OF the family, there
would be less heard of this trouble. Anu
in all such work every proper effort is sure
to be seconded by the wife; while nothing
is more natural than for the children to be
enthusiastic helpers in this work. Such
improvements of course require some outlay,
but this can hardly prove otherwise than G
good investment. Every dollar judciously
spent IN this way will soon be returned
many fold in the increased valuation of any
place, should it be desirable to sell, to say
nothing of the greater happiness and love
of home that will thus be inspired
Now that long evenings are at hand this
subject should receive due consideration
Plans may be drawn up for an improved
arrangement of walks, drives, At wer beds,
shrubbery, borders, and ether matters.
Every detail of these can be decided upon,

Hints on Hog Killing.

Skill and practice are needed to take out
The intestiness neatly, without cutting or
breaking them and soling the flesh. Run
the knife lightly down marking the belly
straight, cut to..the bone between the thighs,
and in front of the ribs and fully, not to
cut beyond them, open the abdomen by
running the hand or two fingers behind the
knife with its edge turned outward. Little
use of the knife is required to loosen the
entrsils. The fingers. rightly used, will do
most of the seyering. Small strong strings,
cut in proper lengths, should be always at
hand to quickly tie the severed ends ofany
small intestines cut or broken by chance.
An expert will catch the entire offa in a
large tin pan or wooden vessel, holding il
between himself and the hog. Unsklled
operators, and those opening very large hogs,
need an assistant to hold this. The entrails,
and then the liver, heart, etc, boing all re-
moved, thoroughly rinse out any blood or
filth that may have escaped inside. Spread
the cut edges apart by inserting q short
stick between them to admit free circula-
ton of cool air. When dripping is over, or
the hanging posts are wanted for other car.
cases, remove the dressed ones, and hang
them IN cool cellar or other safe place un-
Ill the whole flesh is thoroughly cooled
through. Or if, for convenience and easier
work, the carcasses are cut up before cooling,
let all the pieces lie apart for al least half a
day. Remoying the lard from the long
intestines requires expertness that can only
be learned by practice. The fingers do
most of this cleaner, safer, and better than
a knife. A light feed the night before kill
ing leaves the intestines less distended and
less likely to be broken.-J, NJ. STAHL, IN
IN Adriculiurjst
