TWO Yankee Tricks.

!
A Yankee performing journey through
| the back countries on foot saw two horses
| in field as he passed along, one of which
/ he determined to borrow for feA miles,
as he was feeling very weary. According
| ly, writing in pencil on a slip of paper
that he would leave the beast at the next
town on the road, he tied the note to one
| horses fetlock, and mounting the other
with merely halter for a bride, rode off
with him. This transaction happening to
| be observed, an alarm was given to the
/ owner of the two animals,
who, saddling the remaining one,
without paying any attention to the note
attached to its leg, rode away after the
unknown borrower, or, as he considered
him, perhaps, thief. Unluckily for the
Yankee, he was mounted on a slow trav-
eler compared with the steed he had left
behind, and he soon deserted with some
CONSERVATION a rider behind urging a
powerful beast along the road at full
speed, evidently in pursuit of him. HaV-
ing neither whip nor spur, he found it a
| difficult matter to impel the horse he rode
| beyond its usual pace, and his pursuer,
therefore, had every chance of coming up
with him directly. AT this moment he
perceived a cottage by the roadside at no
great distance, towards which, by blows
and kicks. he urged his steed somewhat
faster, the farmer gaining on him never
theless at every step. Reaching the door
he dismOunted, and went in. The farmer
riding up Immediately after in tremen-
dous passion, threw himself off his horse,
leaving it by the side of it's fellow, and
ran into the cottage to seize and secure
the thief. The Yankee, however, was
prepared for him. Having slipped up
stairs, he opened the front window which
looked out upon the read, and as the
farmer ran into the house let himself
down outside, mounted the saddled
horse, seized the other by the halter and
rode ofsSecurely with both. The hero of
the second story was at least as ingeni-
GUS. A rev liquor warehouse opening at
Boston OF ready-money and low-price
system, Jonathan walked in one day with
a tWO-gall0n key on his shoulder, and
asked for a gallon of the best brandy. The
liquor having been poured through a fun
mel into his keg the money was demand
ed. Pretending Ignorance of their mode
of doing business, the Yankee said he
would pay the next time he came into
town. The shoplnan demurred, saying
that he did not intend to give any credit.
f'BUt," asked the Yankee III mock sur
prise, do you intend to take back the
brandyT
''To be sure" replied the other, ''if you
don't pay for it."
E'Then,'' said he, 'fyou must bring your
measures, for l had some liquor of my
own in the keg."
This was done, gallon of the contents
measured back, and the fellow marched
off with another gallon of fine grog, hay-
ing half filled his key beforehand with
water!

AppIying Fertilizers at interval

-
The advantage of applying fertilizers at
stated intervals instead of making a sin
gle application at the time of sowing seed
cannot be gainsaid. If the fertilizer is
applied after the land is plowed and no
after-applicatiOn be made, the crop not
only is put to greater eXertion to derive
plant food, but the natural result will be
that not only will the rains dissolve and
carry 1T off but many of the substances
are either dispelled in the atmosphere or
become, by chemical action, partly inert.
The plant will thrive better when fed on
small quantities often than on large guam
titles less frequently. There is SINH
larIty In that respect between a plant and
an animal that is surfeited at times and
sparingly fed at others. The food must
always be within easy access, instead of
gradually diminishing as the plant ad-
Vances in growth.
In some experiments made with corn,
using guanO at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre, in connection with the same guam
tlty OF superphOsphate and kainit, a farm
er last season fortified his corn, for COM
parison, by two different methods. On
one acre he applied the mixed fertilizer
at the time of putting in the seed. On the
other plot he applied One-third at the time
of seeding, One-third when the crop was
about three feet in height and the other
third after the corn had begun to tassel
After each application, except the last,
the cultivatOr was used between the rows,
the corn having been planted wide enough
to admit of good cultivation both ways.
But little difference in growth was OBJ
served at first, though the field which had
received the three applications gave a
greener tinge when the corn waseabout to
tassel. 1t also filled out better, grew tall
er, gave larger proportion of fodder and
yielded 20 per cent. more corn.-PhjLddel-

Gen. Boun in the War.

II lie true that Butler did go to the 'blg
wars. SWhile Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Blaine
were at home, says the Norfolk VirgiRtda,
but neither of those gentlemen, had they
gone in, would have come out with so
paltry 8 record. Butler began at Big
Bethel, and there a handful of troops I'M
der Magruder gave him signal defeat.
He tried bis hand at Fort Fisher, and,
borrowing a plan from the defenders of
Antwerp when they attacked the bridge
of the Duke Of Parma, sent a powder
boat against the Confederate works. This
was comedy on the heroic scale, indeed,
and provoked "HOmeric laughter when
the garrison understood the joke. Then
he moved up towards Drury's Bluff,
missed the opportunity Of the war, ran
away and got ''bottled. up" at Bermuda
Hundred. He plagiarized again from the
famous siege Of Antwerp, and this time
stole his idea from the besiegers. 1t re-
mains to-day in his Dutch Gap canal,
which was his second comedy, produced
for the amusement of military critics
during the war.

By reason of her peculiar relations and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer not only her own ills, but those arising
from want Of knowledge, or Of consideration
on the part of those with whom she stands
connected in the social organization. The
frequent and distressing irregularities pecu--
liar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the howell of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient victim
of ills unknown to man. and which none but
she could endure-and without a remedy.
But now the hour of her redemption has
come. She need not suffer longer, when she

Diseases of Fowls.

The most common diseases of fowls are
catarrh and rOup. They are somewhat
alike in their character, the first, if neg
lected, often passing into the other. In
deed | am not certain that roup is any,
thing more than a highly aggravated form
Of catarrh. In simple catarrh there is a
discharge OF watery mucous from the
nostTils and the bird presents the appear
ance of being q little out of condition.
The cause is exposure to wet and cold.
and nothing is usually required but re-
moval for two or three days to warm,
dry place and to give stimulating food.
The first symptoms of roup are identical
with those of catarrh, but the discharge
soon commences to thicken and fill up the
nOstrils, the eyelids and face become swol-
len from the accumulation of mucous,
which now emlts an offensive Odor, air
bubbles appear in the corners of the eyes
and in the throat, and in a few days the
bird, unless relieved, dies from suffoca-
ton.
When the disease assumes this aggra-
waited form it becomes highly contagious,
therefore no time should be lost but the
affected bird should be Immediately re-
moved from its companions, and thus
prevent the communication of the disease.
If the case is severe and the bird is not
valuable one, would recommend that it
be Immediately killed. If, however, it is
desirable to save it, give it warm, dry
quarters and stimulating food as in ca
tarrh. Keep the air pure and sweet by
ventilation and cleanliness but warm it if
you can.
In the way of medicine l have found
nothing more effective than a few drops
OF tIncture Of muriate of iron and small
piece of gum camphor in the drinking
water, and the application Of a wash con-
slsting of eight grains of sulphate of cop
per blue vitriOl) and six drops solution
OF carbolic acid (Calvert's) for each fluid
ounce of water. Apply this wash two to
three times day, by means of camePs
hair pencil to the face, taking care not to
1nJure the sight by allowing it in the eyes;
brush the inside of the mouth and throat,
and inject it by means of a small syringe
into the nOstrils. AS the disease abates
reduce the frequency of the solution.
Another excellent wash which may be
used In place OF the above, and in the same
manner, without fear of injury to the
eyes, is the solution of chlOrinated soda
(Labarraque's solution diluted with four
times its bulk of water. In this and all
other diseases, much IS gained by taking
the case in hand at the earliest stage.
Therefore, when you close the poultry
house at night, when all is quiet, listen
an instant. If you hear no unusual sound
you may lock the door and retire, but if
wheeling greets your ear find its source
and attend tOit.-COlemdn'S Rural World.

The Need nf snnIinht

Science tells us that sunlight is an i'm
portant element in growing and perfect
ing seed. If, therefore, the farmer plants
his corn so as to shade the stalks, no ears
will be formed; or if he allows his fruit
trees to be crowded to the extent of shad-
ing the fruit, small and imperfect speci-
mems will result. This teaches less closely
planting ices and thinning out the branch
es-plan kOrn so as to give access to
sunlight re is no branch OF farming,
however nificant, that has not prin-
eiples tn yern it, which, if not under
appointment. 1t is the business of the
farmer to improve the condition of the soil
so as to favor development. In this lies
his success or failure, and it covers the
whole field of farming, which is a very
wide one, embracing most of the sciences,
from which he may derive instruction.
He thus has much to encourage him if he
is man of spirit and enterprise. If sloth-
full and unambitiOus he will despair, and
the advance of time will soon leave him
out of sight, and his place will be occu-
pied by others more worthy.

GIRLS IN BUSINESS.

We commend to all girls who wish
or expect to engage in any self-sup-
porting occupation the following ex-
tract from Elizabeth Stuart Phelps's
article entitled "Supporting HERSELF"
in st. Nicholas:
"But, girls, if you don't mean to
makea thorough business of the occu-
patton you have chosen, never, never,
never begin to be occupied at all.
Halt-finished work will do for am
ateurs. 1t will never answer for pro-
fessionals. The bracket you are
sewing for New Years present can
hang little crooked Oil its screws,
and you will be forgiven for the
loves sake found therein by the dear
heart to which you offer it; but the
trinket carved for sale in the Sor-
rento rooms must be cut as true as
the rose-leaf. You can be little
shaky as to the German declensions
in the Schiller club, which you join
so enthusiastically after leaving
school, and no great harm ever comes
Of it; but teach Schiller for every
dative case forgotten you are so much
money out of pocket.
People who pay for thing demand
thorough workmanship Or none. To
offer incomplete work for complete
market price is to be either cheat or
a beggar, The terrible grinding laws
of supply and demand, pay and re-
ceive, give and get, give no quarter
to shilly-shally labor. The excel
lence of your intentions is nothing to
the point. The stress of your pov-
erty has not the slightest connection
with the case. An editor will never
pay you for your poem because you
wish to help your mother. No Gus
toner will buy her best bonnet or her
wheat flour of you because you are
unable to pay your rent. When you
have entered the world of trade, you
have entered world where tender
ness and charity and personal interest
are foreign relations. Not for friend
ships sake nor 'for PHYS sake, nor
'for chivalry's sake runs the great
rallying-cry of this great world-but
'for value received
'It is with sorrow and shame, but
yet with hope and courage, that 1
write it-there is reason for the ex-
tensive compliant made by men, that
women do not work thoroughly. l
am afraid that, till time and trouble
shall have taught them better, they
will not. 1t is because they have
never been trained ? Is it because
they expect to be married ? That it
is not in the least they can not, we
know; for we know that some of the
most magnificently accurate work IN
the world has been done by women"
