A brick cistern will outlast the con
crete cistern in sandy soils by a score of
years. Concrete walls in sandy soils are
very liable to crack by frost or of pres

Use only best quality of water lime for
the mortar to lay up the brick and then
to plaster the inside. After the plaster
hardens give it good coat of white
wash made with water lime.
Red clover will produce the heaviest
crop of hay on suitable land that can be
grown. About four pounds of green
grass make one of hay. Orchard grass
produces pound of hay to less than
three pounds of grass. AlsiRe clover
Yields less than the red variety, but the
proportion of grass to hay is the same

yield as possible, it is best to grow q mix

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman objects to the smokehouse for
smoking meats. Every one know. that
this way of smoking befouls the outside
of the meat; that by the breaking of
string a piece is often lost, and that not
infrequently the snokehOuse furnishes
a confagration. But how else can meat
be smoked? This correspondent says to
thoroughly smoke the barrel inside
with maple or hickory chips or corn
cobs, pack the pieces closely and cover
with prepared pickle.
One good agency for keeping the air
of the cellar sweet and wholesome is

whitewash is not only simply to give a

kidnapped by a Bear.

Quite ripple of excitement was caused
in Miles City recently by the action of a
pet bear, theproperty Of Charles Brown,
prominent auctioneer and merchant Of
the town. Mr.. Brown captured a male
cub about two years ago and has raised
him so that he has become pet among
the members of his family He usually
kept the animal chained in his back
yard, but, by some unaccountable
means, he broke his bonds and roamed
at large through the streets. No dam
age was attempted by bruin until he
met a child, about three years old, who
unsuspiciously walked up to the shaggy
brute and playfully pulled his name,
fondling the animal, believing him to
be large, good-natured dog The
bear. however. was not peaceably in
clined. and, Selling the child with his
rough teeth, he started at rapid pace
for the foothills, dragging his unfortu-
nate victim along with him, The news
soon spread and the whole town became
aroused. Maxwell, the father of the
little one, overcome with horror at the
danger perhaps fatal, lowering over his
child. started in persuit, armed with a
Sharp's rifle. He soon overlook the
savage monster. who still retained his
grip on his prey The father hurrledly
approached the bear, and without dan
ger to his offspring. he shot him through
the heart. The child was rescued, for
lunately, with no serious damage.

An Illinois farmer writes TO scien-
tific paper This summer, when my
own corn was two feet high, the Hgbs-
ming struck it, killing patch one hun
dred feet in extent. 1t seemed to kill
the ground, as neither weed nor spear
of grass has grown on it since. The
ground looks dead, and believe it is.
Occasionally these spots are met with
all over the prairies. The people ae-
count for them as buffalo tramps, where
buffaloes congregated in my time and
tramped until they killed the soil, but
from the above occurrence / account
for them as being struck by lightning.

straw, and the melons matured clean

the experiment an entire success. This
is surely worth trying.
