NOT ALLOWED TO GROW wOLD.-Governor
Grant, of Colorado, made quite hit at the
White House during his recent Washington
visit. Upon presenting his compliments to
President Arthur, the latter was astonished
to find the chief executive of Colorado SO
youthful. II confess ] am surprised" said
the President. "You are very young'to be
the Governor of State. And amat loss
to understand why the people of Colorado
elected so Young q man." The Governor,
who is naturally quick at repartee, was not
confused in the least. "Well, the truth the
matter is, y he replied," "the pistol practice
has got down to such a fine art, out in Colo
RADIO, that people are not allowed to grow
old out there" 1t is needless to add that
the Presidents curiosity was satisfied.

One Egg for Ten Persons.

However strange this may seem, it
is nevertheless true. A gentleman,
named Dwight Whiting, residing in
the neighborhood of Anabeim, Califor-
MIA, as we learn from the Gazette of
that place, in entertaining din
ner party of ten persons, some time
ago, after counting the number of his
guests, and finding them to be ten in
number, said, 81 guess one egg will be
enough for the partv,' and disappeared
from the house. Presently he came
back with the egg, and the surprise of
the guests were dissipated when they
saw it was an ostrich's egg he meant.
Well, the egg was put on to boil,
and after cooking vigorously for one
hour, though two hours the host said
would improve it, it was brought upon
the table. The shell was broken, and
the three pound yolk was laid upon a
plate, an object of great interest from
its size and novelty. Beyond this there
was nothing peculiar about it; the
white portion of it had the blush tinge
of the duck egg, and the yolk was the
usual color. 1t also tasted like the
duck, with no flavor peculiar to itself.
But its size may be imagined when it
is stated that it takes twenty eight t
hens eggs to equal it in weight. and the
single egg was enough for the entire
company and to spare; besides it was
the unanimous opinion that it was
good. /: is not probable, however,
that ostrich eggs will become very
popular, except where the family is
large enough to devour one at meal,
inasmuch, as in the case of hens egg,
the yolk will lose its flavor by saving
| for second or third meal.

A Heavy Yield of Peaches Expected.

Reliable reports are being received
from the peach country, regarding the
state of the crop this year. The out
look is declared to be favorable, al
though not as promising as it was sew
eral weeks ago, when the trees had q
phenomenal amount of buds on them.
The recent cool weather has caused
some damage, as the unusually heavy
fall of the unmatured fruit this month
has demonstrated. The crop is esti-
mated at about half that of 1875,
which was the heaviest known, such
being the supply that crates were given
away so that the boxes would be re-
turned, and, in many instances, whole
cargoes would be thrown into the bay
The great peach belt of the peninsula,
which formerly extended across the
lower part of Cecil and the upper part
of Kent counties in Maryland, and the
lower part of New Castle county in
Delaware, has moved further south,
and now reaches across from bay to
hay, about from the central to the
lover part of Kent county in Delaware.
In that district the yield will be heavy.
Not counting the immense quantities
which will be used up by the oanneries
and evaporators it is estimated that
the quantity shipped will exceed 1000.

and evaporators have become q great

To Destroy Weeds.

The soil Is prone to weeds as man to
sin, and it is psssible that men have
been provoked to sin by weeds. How
to eradicate them is an important ques-
ton. Could they at once be cleared
out, and there be probability of their
remaining so, the farmer conld go at
them cheerfully, hopefully; but quite
the contrary is the experience of all.
Land that has grown nothing but tim
othy and clover for twenty years will
produce spontaneous growth of pig
con grass, rag weeds, pig weeds, etc,
If put under the plow for few years.
Cutting the pests before they 60 to
seed is the common remedy offered,
but it takes vigilance committee for
each farm to do that, if all all weeds
are kept down.
The plan we adopted has proven
satisfactory, and that is not to till any
piece of land long enough for the
weeds to get possession of the esoil. Sod
is turned for corn the second year for
corn or any other crop most desired /;
tho eiiiiu W WHcdt UT OdtS anu SIOck
down. Where convenient, it is a good
plan to turn under a crop of clover,
then seed again. The second piece of
sod land is turned, and by the time
that it is ready to be stocked, the first
is ready for the plow again. 1t will
be seen by this method that manuring
is not necessary. We do not believe in
the use of manure on land used for
hold crops, for the seeds in the fertili.
ger add to the labors of the farmers.
We use manure upon the grass land
and get the benefit of it in the increas.
ed production of hay, and also in the
growth of corn when the land is turn
ed for tillage. ,Ii'f
Farmers depend too generally upon
their barnyard manure to help out
their grain crops. Year after year the
plow is put upon the field, year after
year a half crop is gathered, a great
amour. of labor expended with poor
compensation for Investment. Soil
needs rest--that is, rest from the pro-
duction of such crops as sap largely its
primitive elemements.

Force of Habit.

A good story is told of a French
lady well known in the higher circles
of society, who happened to see, not
long ago, a monkey begging pence from
the public in the prettiest manner for
the benefit of his MASTER an organ
grinder. The Marquis took fancy to
it, bought it, dressed it in the gaudiest
of raiment, and made it a pet. The
lady, the other day, had in Paris a
fashionable reception, and, of course,
her pet was the wonder of the room.
In the course of the evening young
lady sat down at the piano, and ac,
companying herself sang with exquisite
taste little drawiug-room song. AS
soon as the lady had finished, the mon
key, who, though now partially civiliz-
ed, had not forgotten his former duties,
seeing something near him that re-
minded him of his old occupation, seiz-
ed il and transformed it into a tempo
rary hat and commenced a collection,
The vocalist laughed, the Marqnise
looked vexed, but 10 the amusement of
everybody, the animal went the rounds
and collected large sum. His task
ended, he jumped upon the knee of the
singer amid shouts Of laughter, and de-
posted the contents of his hat in the
lady's lap. The collection was, of
course, devoted TO charitable fund,
