Garland Hates Doctors.

Gsrland's pec1lisrities by friend the other
dsy. He hates doctors. Whenever he hears
OF friend being sick he takes the trouble to
warn him that the medical profession is q
humbug, and the only way to De sure of re
covery is TO let it alone. He says he never
had a doctor in his life, and consequently
keeps well. But the other day he broke faith.
He was taken with a peculiar ailment At
first he thought be was getting fat. bat it was
all confined to his face, and he did not know
what to make OF it. Directly his jaws
swelled out to an immense size and became
very painful. He endured it long time but
finally grabbed up his hat and went to see a
doctor who has an Office within a square. He
said he thought he wss poisoned, but had no
idea who bad done it. II don't think you are
poisoned" said the dootor, after examining
his face very carefully. You've got the

How General Sherman Took a Powder

Washington Letter to the Cleveland Leader
sm able to give the readers Of the Leader
some more extracts this morning from the
manuscript notes Of Colonel A. II MARYLAND,
the head OF the mail service during the war.
The first relates how General Howard IN.
thinkiDgly COMPELLED General Sherman to
take seidlilz powder when he wanted rath-
er drink of old Bourbon whisky.
when General Shermen's army was at
Geldsboro, y. O., General Sherman made
visit TO to the headquarters OF General How
ard. While there General Sherman felt toe
need of q small oraUght of whisky to drive
OFF the mslarial effects of the climate on his
system. Now all the officers of the army
know OF General HowaTdB rigid temper.
arce procl;vities, and were strict in
their respect for them. General
Sherman knew there was no whisky
did not mention his wants to General How
ard. Presently DR.. John Moore. the Medical
Director. came in. and after a little CONVEX
sation with General Sherman, gave him the
wink and said: Doctor have you a seidlitz
powder in your quartersP The Doctor an
s6ered that he had. General Howard spoke
up and said: General Sherman, il is not
necessary to go to the Doctors quarters,
have plenty of seidlitz powders here, and
good ones, too. l will get you one If
there was anything in General Howsrd's
quarters that General Sherman did not want
1t was e seidliiz powder. aud therefore he
said to General Howard: Never mind, Gen
ersl Give yourself no trouble Howard
was then getting the powder and glasses of
water ready 1 will be going by Moores
quarters after awhile
CDR. Moore was a great wsg and quickly
took in the situation and became party to
the joke on General Sherman. He said to
General Sherman, BY the way, General,
don't think L have seidlitz powder in my
quarters, and you hal better take the one
General Howard has, By this time General
handed the glasses to General Sherman.
Rather than offend Howard by saying he
meant whisky he drank the foaming stuff
down much to his own disgust to the salts
faction of General Howard, and to the amuss-
ment Of the staff officers"

Fodder Crops.
philadelphia Record


Now that the spring is open and the farm
eIs are getting ready for croDs they should
not overlook the matter OF growing those
well-known substitutes for hay that mature
quickly and yield well, such as cats, fodder
corn, millet and even peas. In mentioning
cats it is not intended TO suggest the sowing
OF the seed for the purpose OF securing
Weld OF grain, but TO cut the crop when it is
only IN the milky state, or just previous 60
ripening OF course, some farmers will o.
jsct to what they regard as q method that
entails the loss of the grain, but on fertile
farms there will generally be q fair crop
of hay, while on light soils toe farmer
must resort to such substitutes as will give
the best results. Oats, If cut Just before the
time of ripening, yield crop OF straw rich
in nutritious matter, tender, keeping green,
and which will be rslishei by the cattle and
horses. The mode of feeding it is to take
the bundles OF OATS and pass them through
cutser, chopping straw and heads together,
the whole being mass of immature grain
and straw. a small quantity of ground
grain is added to the cut oats aud fed to the
stock. The advantage of thus harvesting
and preparing oats is that the whole of the
straw can be utilized, while the time re-
quired for grow tn is shortened. Even on
rich, heavy land this mode of harvesting is
good one where difficulty through the crop
lodging is annually encountered.
Corn is another excellent fodder crop, bat
the best fodder is that consisting of small.
tender stalks. which are Usually juicy and
eucculent In order to add to the quality,
the fodder should be sown thickly in 70 VS.
and cut while quite green. Some prefer to
cut corn fodder when the corn is in tassel,
and others at the time the young corn begins
to fill out, when it is cured stored aud fed,
after being cut in small lengths. 1t is sug
gested, however. that corn be cut when
