The young fellow completely captivated a

toward the close of the season the parents
returned home, leaving the interesting
daughter to tarry a week or two longer at
the seaside, as she seemed to enjoy it so much.
They had not been home long before they
received a message stat ng that the
lovely maiden had left the hotel, and
disappeared about the same time. Of
course the sOlicitous parents we're tn under

immediately employed to discover, if possible,
the whereabouts of the loving couple. After

from the daughter stating that she had mar

Ellsworth Berbower is remarkably skilful
with rife. One of his latest shots is described
as follows: A piece Of half-fnch gas-pipe was
inserted through a heavy piece Of iron as
base. At one end of the pipe he affixed the
blade of a hatchet so that the sharp edge
rested against the pipe. On either side Of the
hatchet he hung a glass ball Standing off at
a distance Of forty feet, he fired with a
Winchester repeating rifle at the ex-
posed end of the gas-pipe. through
which the bullet passed and was split on the
hatchet-edge. each half breaking the glass ball
on etj her side OF the hatchet. Having done
this remarkable hot TO his satisfaction in the
ordinary Of-hand way, he tried it in a differ
eut manner. Holding the gun over his shoul-
der, he sighted through small mirror he held
in left hand and fired with his back to TIA Q

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Our Agricultural EDITORS Weekly Chat With Hls
Readers.

6. II. Damon, Paw Paw Grove, III, asks if
cranberries can be raised successfully in north
ern Illinois, and also what kind of soil is best
adapted, and what variety is recommended.
We would advise our correspondent to procure
some of the small works devoted to the culture
of this fruit; we can only state here that a soil
always damp, such as peat or muck bottoms,
should be selected TO begin with, and it should
be SO situated that the surface may be COM
plctely flooded by spring water during winter
and spring, and ut the same time be thoroughly
drained at other seasons Of the year Briefly,
the preparation of the ground should embrace
the removal Of all wood, brush, and surface
heritage; il is next covered with from four TO
eight inches Of clean sand, and the vines are
planted from foot to twenty inches apart {;

distances apart, also as 10 depth Of sand, and III
other details.
"Can You tell mo the cause Of my pears
cracking just before they ripen, and what | can
do 10 prevent it?"-J. G. r., HARRISBURG Pa
AaS.: The cause is attributed to fungus growth
on the surface Of the fruit, which destroys and
dries up the skim which then cracks as the
fruit swels; the same result is seen III mil
dewed grapes and gooseberrics. We cannot ad-
wise as to its prevention, further than to state
that pears growing in sheltered and protected
places, such as city yards hemmed around by
buildings, do not have cracked fruit.

ing orchards and fruit fields, such as those oc-
cupied by Strawberries, grapes, raspberries, &c,

II I could find the Little Year,
The Happy Year, the glad New Year
If / could find him setting forth
To seek the ancient track
I'd bring him here, the Little Year,
Like pedler with his pack.
And all of golden brightness,
And nothing dull or black,
And all that heart could fancy,
And all that life could lack,
Should be your share of the pedler's ware
When he undid his pack.
The best from out his treasure
a smile of yours would coax,
And then we'd speed him on his way,
At midnights failing strokes;
And bid him hurry round the world,
And serve the other folks!

THE PERFECT MILK PAIL.

The Prairie Farmer describes device which
is named as above, and which is pail, milk
stool, and strainer in one. The pail is made
somewhat like common watering-p pot, only
that the top is fat. 1t is made of tin plate,
holds fourteen quarts, the cover makes a seat
for the milker, and will bear a weight of two
hundred pounds or over. The vessel is fur
nished with a short spout, into which is in
serted wide-mouthed funnel, which receives
the milk. This funnel is inserted into the
spout by means of a rubber tube, which enables
it to return to its position if removed by kicks
or blows from the COW. The height of the
funnel may be gauged to suit different cows.
