A Missouri sheep grower advises
breeding from polled rams. The ami
mails, he says, fight less, and are never
fy-blown around the horns, are more
conveniently sheared, keep easier and
grow larger. This is his opinion after
nine years experience.
Open bitches are relic of the past
Drain tile not only carries off the water
effectually, but enables the fields to be
cultivated without the necessity of
building crossings over bitches.
bitches get filled up, and become the
harbor for weeds. insects, mice and
other vermin.
Oatmeal is said to be excellent for
calves, and some are successful in feed
ing wheat shorts, but both are usually
too coarse to be drunk with safety with
milk. They should be fed dry; then
there will be little danger from over
eating, which is not the case if given
in the milk.
An eminent horseman gives it as his
experience, after twenty years of trial,
that tired horse can be best refreshed
and strengthened by giving him a
quart Of oatmeal stirred in pail of
water. This fits it's stomach for a
stronger food, slakes its thirst, and is
indefinitely better than pure water
Poultry manure is nearly equal to
guano, and the value of the quantity
annually derived from single fowl is
about fifty cents, fully one-half the
cost of the feed. Five hens will make
one barrel of manure, and on farms
where large numbers of poultry are
kept, this Importance Of the fact should
not be overlooked. Every ounce
should be saved.
The Farmers Reuieo0 says On
given amounts of food the sheep pro-
duces for the same weight of dry food
nearly twice as much manure as the
pig, while the OK produces even more
than the sheep. The difference is due
to the less digestible character of the
food supplied to the sheep and OK. The
quantity of manure produced during
the same time and for the same body
weight is, however, very similar with
the three animals, the greater con-
sumption of food by the pig counter
balancing the lower rate of manure
production.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
The Tcmpering of the Cream.

Inc tempering of cream is one of
the most important operations in butter
making. This is especially true in cold
weather. The different parts of cream
are affected differently by heat. A can
of cream may be placed in a kettle of
hot water and heated till the thermom-
eter indicates sixty-two to slxty-ive
degrees without having heated the
butter globules in the cream at all
This will not ordinarily be the case, 1t
is true, but it is liable to be, and it is
approximately so in all cases where
the heating is rapid. Cream should be
kept warm for several hours before
churning that it may become warmed
through. Or, if it is necessary to tenn
per it hastily, it should be raised con-
siderably about the churning tempera-
ture and suffered to fall back, which it
will do in a short time.-LiUe Stock

occurred in our town for some time,
was the surprise given in honor of
the birthdays Of Mrs. Susan Titus, and
her only daughter, Jennie Hodsden,
at the residence Of Eliza Titus, of this
place, on last Saturday week. The
affair was gotten up SO secretly by the
neighbors and friends that the first
apprehension that the ladies had of
the affair was the thronging in Of all
their friends and neighbors, laden with
well filled baskets, and almost before
they knew it they had possession Of
the house.
A most bountiful dinner was soon
spread, which all seemed to enjoy,
especially the DR., who was noticed on
the sly by several observers.
Dinner being over, the crowd gath
cred into the parlor. and the presents
were presented by Rev. Magee, in a
few appropriate remarks.

Jupiter'S Lottery.

1t is said that the God Jupiter once
made lottery in heaven and allowed
both mortals and gods to hold tickets.
The grand prize was wisdom, and Mi
nerva held the winning card. This caus-
ed trouble among the mortals and Ju-
piter, to appease them, offered folly as
second prize, which they all drew, and
were highly pleased with it. Ever since
that time folly has been held in high es-
timation by mortals. If they wish to be
noted for wisdom they should buy Peruna
of the nearest druggist, and use them for
the various ailments which are known to
humanity. Thousands are learning wis
dom in this regard, and are loud in their
praises of these wonderful discoveries of
Dr. S. B. Hartman. Buy bottle and win

! ssHis Hat Over Lucasville J"

Valley Township, Scioto County,
did not give the Second Amendment a
single vote. Among all the voters OF
that benighted region, not one could
be found to speak out boldly in favor
of law, order, and the protection of
the home against the saloon. In the
official abstract Of votes, opposite Val
ley stands figure 0. This little oval,
standing in the place of Valley, says:
II stand here to show that there IS
nothing here" And this reminds us
of a fragment of the early history OF
that Township, as furnished US by
friend:
Some thirty or more years ago,
very pious old gentleman-by the
name of Willis, we believe, used to
preach occasionally about Lucasville.
His sermons were so excellent that he
was placed upon the circuit embracing
that village. He labored earnestly for
the salvation of souls, and to arouse
within perverse man realization OF
his urgent need cf reformation and
regeneration. But his labors in Lu-
casville were not crowned with that
success which maketh the heart glad.
After preaching his ablest sermons,
and making the warmest appeals,
without apparent effect, the good old
man concluded to ''read the law" to
them-to give them piece of his
mind. One day-or night-after
fruitless appeal to them, he said:
"My friends, I'm going to give You
a little bit of the early history of this
village, which will show you why the
appeals of mercy are vain in your
midst. The Savior Of the world, after
worrying over the sins of mankind
much more than | have done, was ia
ken by a person named Satan away
up onto high mountain, from whence
could be seen all the kingdoms Of the
earth. With a wave of his hand
toward the four quarters of the earth,
Satan exclaimed: All these will | give
thee if thou wilt but bow down and
worship me- or words to that effect.
But, my friends, in thus deciding away
his earthly possessions the sly old
Devil was shrewd enough to retain
homestead. While he assured the Sa-
vior that he would give Him War
ranty Deed for the whole Of his pos
sessions, he was very careful to keep
his hat oUer LucasciUew
It would seem by the way the pro-
hibitory amendment was treated in
that region, that the hat is still there.

NDARD JACKSON OHIO. THURSDAY OCTOBER 1s 1888
THE sounds Of the Jones boys, en-

THE sounds of the Jones boys, en-
gagged in solemn prayer, has come to
be a familiar sound to those having
occasion to pass the Jail. What dis
tressing picture! Here are two strong
men who, all their lives perhaps have
delighted in sinful living-nothing,
not even murder, being too horrible
for them to engage i'll, now, at the
approach of the certain vengeance of
outraged law. being literally driven to
the throne of grace to plead for mer-
cy. How much better would it have
been for these poor fellows to have
shown mercy, and to haye improved
the opportunity afforded them of liv-
ing right, and doing some good in the
world Either of these men might
have lived useful life-might, in fact
have made his life sublime. But
through their own waywardness they
have brought themselves to the horri-
BILE situation in which we now view
them.
The lives Of these men should be a
terrible warning to boys to shun the
practices in which they engaged, to
avoid evil associations, to improve
every opportunity for acquiring use
full knowledge, and to so live that
when death shall come, the world will
not find them piteously pleading, from
a prison cell, for mercy The man
who lives right will die right.
