out any failure of general intelligence,
and may fail in part without being al

of this last mentioned peculiarly occur

country was accused of throwing an
other into pond, and he was put on
his trial before bench of magistrates.
His elder brother, who bore Il high
character in the village both for CON

seen the previous struggle between the

evidence. He declared his belief that
the fight was perfectly fair throughout,

A noteworthy regulation has been
made by the French postal authorities
in regard to the method of affixing pos
tage stamps to registered letters. The
stamps are not to be placed close to-

them. 1t is explained that when several
stamps are placed together they cover
a space sufficiently large to allow of an
opening being made for the withdrawal
of bank note. The stamps being re-
placed over the opening, the fraud
would not be discovered until after the
recipient had signed for his letter and
opened it, when he would have no re-
dress.

it broadcast, but scatter it along the
row. We then take a horseshoe Quilt
vator, remove all but three teeth, and
set the cultivator as narrow as possible
say at fifteen to eighteen inches wide,
and let the horse walk along the. mark,
and set the cultivator to run as deep as
we can get it to work properly. We
sometimes go twice in row. The OBJ
ject is to make the soil as loose and deep

superphosphate and nitrate with the
soil. Set out the plants in the rows
eight or nine inches apart. You will
be astOnished at the good effect of the
cultivator. 1t makes the soil so loose
that the plants can be set out with the
greatest ease. OF course, it would be
just as well to cultivate the whole of
the land, but this plan saves time, and
the land between the rows will be thor
oughly cultivated afterward, in order
to keep down the weeds. If the land is

In most parts of the south an average
corn crop has been raised, and there

There is this element in the stock
business, says the Farmers Review,
which does not exist in grain-growing.
1t is that the man who produces a

true of the raising of horses, wool, NUT
ton sheep, and, in a less degree, of
pork, while the same holds good in hor-
ticultural productions.
An Irish breeder says that offsprings
bred from greatly dissimilar parents, in
either size or character, should never be
used for breeding purposes, as their
offspring will certainly prove to be
mongrels of nondescript character. The
parents should be as similar as possible,
as rule, the neglect of which has led
to more disappointment than any other
cause.
Sir John B. Lawes, of Rothamstead,
England, says he remembers when the

find. The socialism of to-day has about
the same amount of sense as that of

A writer to the Indiana Farmer says
he cures heaves in horses by withhold
ing hay and substituting green food
instead. He then makes a ball, as
large as hulled walnut, of equal parts

and morning. 1t is suggested, also,
that the grain allowed be Slightly mois-

An experienced horticulturist says
that fresh cider should be boiled and
skinned completely before being
bunged up. In the spring, if vinegar
is desired, place it in a warm, sunny
room, and add six pounds of dilute
brown sugar to the barrel, leaving the
barrel open for three or four weeks,
according to the acidity of the cider.
The exposure to the air admits oxygen
and changes the alcohol into acetic acid
or vinegar.

Oysters for Dyspepsia.

1t is not generally understood as it
should be that oysters have medicinal
qualities of high order. They are
not only nutritious, but wholesome, es-
pecially in cases of indigestion. 1t is
said '.there is no other alimentary sub
stance, not even excepting bread, that
does not produce indigestion under GER
tain circumstances: but oysters, never. :"
Oyster juice promotes digestion. BY
taking oysters daily indigestion, sup
posed to be almost incurable, has been
cured; in fact, they are to be regarded
as one of the most healthful articles OF
food known to man. Invalids who
have found all other kinds of food dis
agree with them frequently discover in
the oyster the required aliment. Raw
oysters are highly recommended for
hoarseness. Many of the leading vo-
calists use them regularly for concerts
and operas; but their strongest recon-
mendation is the remarkably whole
some influence exerted upon the diges,
tive organs.
