Preparing to Dis Comfortably.

One of the strangest funerals on
record was that of DIR. J. s. Ford, of
Bagerstown, Ind, which occurred at
West Sonora, Ohio, two weeks ago,
and of which dispatch to the Boston
Herald gives the following account: !:
HE died of heart disease, after being
bedfast three months. He was Sc
years old, and his widow, his third
wife, whom he married three years
ago, is 2l. He made cast iron will,
giving his wife $4,000. He also left
sums of 5000 and $500 each to all the
women who are now maids or wild
ows whom he courted in his unmar.
ried days. This required Sc, 900. Notes
outstanding on people who would be
pushed to pay them he destroyed to
the amount of $1,000. The hired girl
| and all his wife's relatives were re-
membered in smallsutns. Two weeks
before his death he employed and
paid the Rev. Mr.. Shackleford, of the
Methodist Church, S25, and the Rev.
Mr.. Warrington. of the Christian
Church. SIS to officiate at his funeral.
Immediately after this he sent for the
railroad agent at Hagerstown, and
chartered train of one baggage and
three passenger cars to take his re-
mains and ITO to his funeral at West
Sonora, Ohio. He paid for this in
advance, and also sent cash to the
best hotel in West Sonora for dinner
for the entire funeral party. Not a
detail in the funeral was forgotten,
even to the floral tributes. His Or
ders were fully carried out, aud when
his body was laid in the ground no
one in the world had claim of cent
against his estate and no one owed it
a cent.

My way OF Hay-Making.

A few years since, haying a trifle
oyer an acre of very handsome tim
othy lying in the way of convenient
access to a large field, rather than
make a path through this grass the
whole piece was cut just as it was
coming into bloom with the expecta-
tion that it would afford hay of a very
choice quality. The surprise and dis
appointment were great when, on
feeding it the following spring, it was
found that the cattle would not eat it
if they could get hay from grass that
had stood ten days longer. The opin-
ion of cattle as to the quality of hay
is placed above that of theorists or
scientists. In making some fifty tons
of hay each year, the aim is to secure
as much OF it as possible between the
fifth and twelfth days after the tim
othy is in full blossom. For such hay
the highest market price can be OBJ
tanned. Years ago, when machinery
was not so much used as at the pres
ent day, haying was slow and tedious
work, and considerable grass neces-
sarily remained standing until it be-
came yellow and the seeds were ripe.
This made very poor hay. At the
present time there is danger of going
to the other extreme, and making
poor hay by cutting too early. 1t
should be borne in mind, however,
that the loss may be greater by allow.
ing grass to stand one day too long,
than by cutting it one day too soon.
After trying various ways to escape
injury from rain, the following has
been adopted as the safest and surest :
In the morning when the dew has
nearly or quite disappeared, the grass
cut, provided there is reasonable
prospect that the sun will shine for
several hours to come. This can be
predicted by person ordinarily OBJ
servant almost to certainty. After
the hay has been teddered and has
cured all that it is likely to for the
day, it is raked and rolled. Ii the
cocks are large and properly made,
heavy rains will damage the hay but
little. The following day another
piece is cut, the former Is exposed to
the sun and air. by opening the cocks
if very green or wet, if nearly dry,
by simply turning them over, and as
soon as sufficiently cured is carted to
the barn. In this way no serious in
jury from rain is possible, excepting
from very sudden showers in the
middle of the day. 1t may cost a
trifle more to have hay put up in
cocks of 200 or 300 pounds weight, of
which not more than fifty pounds
will get wet during rain. than to
have it in small ones made by placing
two or three fiat forkfuls of hay one
above the other, of which not one
pound will be kept dry. During a
rain in the night the comfort to be
had from the assurance that for a
small cost the tons of hay which you
may have out are insured against
damage from rain, is worth all thai
it costs.-John G. Ball, ESSer Co.,

Polishing the Wrong End.

Many men daily polish their boots
who never give thought to the con-
dition of their hair, except to harrow
it casually with brush and comh, or
submit it to the paralyzing atten-
tions of the average barber. What
happens? Why. this . From me-
glect, mental anxiety, or any of a
score of causes. the hair turns prema-
turely gray and begins to fall out.

stop the latter process and restore the
original color. An elegant dressing,
free from grease.

fact that corn grows the most rapidly
when the process of nitri6cation OF
the organic matter in it is most ac-
tive, and when the atmospheric con-
tribution of nitrates is the largest.
and is thus able, more than any other
crop, to supply itself with nitrogen
from the soil. Corn, too, is remark
ably vigorous feeder, and like clover
is able to gather its supply of nitro
gen from the soil far more effectively
than wheat, and these facts have a
very important bearing upon the
proper system of culture required for
the production of a maximum crop.
Because it has been found, in every
case in which it has been grown ex-
perimentally for a maximum yield,
that an excess of nitrogen in the fer
tilizer has failed to increase the yield
of grain. but has largely increased the
growth of stalk, while in other cases
the yield of grain, by judicious fer
tilizing, with only a moderate guam
tity of nitrogen in the manure, has
run up the product of grain consider
ably over one hundred bushels. And
such cases have been so numerous as
to establish the possibility of making
this large product matter of meas
urable certainty.-N. Y. Times.

A tall young man went bathing in
the Mohawk River at Schenectady
last Sunday with several other Sab
bath-breakers, in spite of previous
protests against their selection of such
aconspicuous place for their ablutions.
While they were in the water Mr..
Van Voast appeared upon the bank
and carried off an armful of their
clothing. Ali of the bathers, how
ever. had enough apparel left to get
home without undue exposure ex-
cept the tall yonng man, whose only
remaining raiment was a collar and
a pair of shoes. But as luck would
have it he found near the river an
empty barrel, out of which he knock
ed the heads and into which he STEP
ped, and thus apparelled he made
his wav home across the fields, pain
fully holding up the barrel as he
walked. but dropping and sinking
into it whenever anyone appeared in
sight. Before he reached the paren.

had detected his predicament and
united to form bowling escort. 1t

The New Yoik Tribune, in recent
carefully complied article, estimates
the annual sales of liquor at 5000, ,OOO,-
900. Who can comprehend sum OF
such magnitude? 1t means twelve
dollars to every man, woman and
child in America. The annual corn
product is S6O0,OOO,OOO. The Tribune
estimates the cost of liquor as equal
to our whole corn product. The an
nual expenses of the Government,
interest and all. is less than S4OO, ,OOO,.
600. The Tri6Une estimates the mon
ey spent for liquor as one and hall
times the cost of running the Gov
ernment, without allowing for crime
and its concomitant miseries. All
this may be Temperance foolishness,
but people who have never been
classed with Temperance men are
thinking and talking about it.-ha.
