them will eat as much as COW.
They live largely upon apples in au.
tumn. One OF the worst troubles is
their digging the soil even to its dis
fgurement. Their habitations are
long cavities made first downward and
then extending twenty to thirty feet
with side runaways, all the earth taken
over being thrown in an unsightly heap
near the entrance. AT one or more
places they run observation holes up
to the surface with no soil around to
mark their position, Into those blind
holes, running down nearly perpendicu,
larly two to four feet, cattle and horses
often step, and not unfrequently thus
receive some sprains, sometimes broken
limbs. The writer himself once had
an ankle sprained by stepping into one. ,
A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
tleman tells how he gets rid of them
as follows:
81 insert one end of rubber tube of
any length we'll into the barrow, close
the burrow entrance with soil, then
put tablespoonful of sulphur Or more
on an old tin plate, set a match to the
sulphur, and cover it with an inverted
flower pot. Then take common
hand bellows invert its nozzle in the
rubber pipe, and place the inlet hole
on the side of the bellows close down
on the hole in the bottom of the in
verted pot. Work the bellows until
the sulphur is burned out. Then
draw the tube out of the burrow, close
the hole, and if the inlet of the bel.
lows was kept on the drainage hole of
the flower pot so as to send all the sul>
phur smoke into the burrow, the in.
mates will be stifed to death in brief
time.

To the Standard
Knowing your paper has wide cir,
culation in Van Buren, county, and I
having just completed the canvass of
this county for the American Bible
Society, I wish to give your readers
there summary of my work.
In canvassing the county we travelled
about seven hundred miles, visited
FIVE hundred and forty-four families.
One hundred and eleven of these were
without the bible, these and eighty.two
destitute individuals were supplied. I
sold and donated about two hundred
dollars worth of bibles and testaments.
Five years ago / canvassed the county,
there were then about three>ffths of
the families without the bible. During
these intervening years, there has been
great Improvement, intellectually and
morally.
As an evidence of the moral state of
affairs, there was only one prisoner in
their county jail; he a colored man
from White county, not held for crime
but as a witness. What other county
can say so much? za
We have been travelling more than
half century, but never have we met
with more universal kindness than in
Van Buren,. We return our sincere
thanks to these good people for the
kind treatment they gave us, and also
for the valuable aid given us in distri-
buting bibles. We make special men.

How to Make a Carp Pond.

A correspondent Of the Ohio Farm

South desire specific information.

slightly place, spare no pains or ex-
pense in making it as attractive as
possible. Before commencing to raise
your banks pillow your foundation and
scrape the dirt out, then pillow again
and scrape in new dirt. Avoid put.
ting in sod or rubbish of any kind. If

Breed From the Best.

StOckman.
The breeder who is always ready and
anxious to sell the best he has to the
first buyer who comes along can never
for any length of time hold his posi-.
ton at the front in his business. If he
permits his flock or herd to be culled
over by visiting purchasers, keeping
for himself only what they see fit to
leave him, the fame of his stock will
be short>lived indeed The moment
his best breeders are parted with that
moment does he remove the incentive
for the same buyer to come to him
again. His prestige and leadership
leave him, in company with the ami
mails on whose superiority his reputa-
ton is based. In view of this it is
easily understood why breeders of ex.
perience and Sagacity very often have
something on which no price is set and
for which no bid will be entertained.
1t may be an old and well-proven sire
or dam, or 1t may be young thing
whose value is yet only matter of
promise. It is in either case in meas
ure priceless, and in giving it up the
owner feels that, no matter what it
may bring, to sell it would be sacri-
fee. This idea may of course be car
ried too far-but it is difficult to say
just how far it may be legitimately fol.
lowed. This is point for the proper
decision of which no fixed principle
may be laid down, and it must be left
wholly to judgment and circumstances.
We believe, however, that a man is
often warranted in holding an animal
at price which no one else could pay
for it, and which he himself could
hardly pay for another Of equal merit.
There are many nice points centering
just here, which can be much more
clearly appreciated by the thoughtful
breeder than explained on the printed
page, and in them much of the success
of the breeding business lies. One
thing is certain-one cannot afford to
build up and increase his stock on
culls. He should always reserve a
sufficient number of animals of un-
questionable merit to insure the next
seasons produce to be fully up to his
recognized standard. A high sale is
dear one indeed if it carry away with
it the elements which establish local
reputation and character.

The wheat crop is about all harvest

yield throughout the State will largely
exceed that of last year, unless the
crop is damaged in the field by exces-
sive rains before it is threshed and
housed. In West Tennessee the new
crop is already on the market, but too
damp for commercial purposes. The
acreage Of tobacco over the State is
largely in excess of that of several
years, and its condition is improving
daily.
