The seeds of the willow will not
terminate after having been once
dry. The seeds of coffee and vari-
Gus plants do not terminate after
being kept for any considerable
time. Wheat over two centuries
old has been found quite fit for
food, but the grains usually lose
their power of growth after a lapse
of seven years. Specimens of rye
and wheat known to be 1873 years
old could not be induced to germi-
nate. "The stories of mummy
my wheat sprouting after having
lain dormant in Egyptian tombs
for thousands Of years are, to say
the least Of them, very dubious"
declares DR.. Robert Brown, T. L. S.
mo authenticated instances Of
such finds are extant, while ameng
other articles sold by the Arabs to
crsdulous travellers, as coming out
Of the some tomb as the ancient
wheat, have been dahlia bulbs and
maize, the deposition Of which IN
the receptacle from which they
were said to be extracted necessi-
tates the belief that 5000 years ago
the subjects Of the Pharaohs were
engaged in commerce with Ameri-
Ca" When kept dry and protected
from light and air, however, seeds
have been known TO retain their vi
tality for somewhat heightened pc
RODS. Seeds Of the bean order have
sprouted after one hundred years
storage in an herbarium, and many
simily instances, most of them
somewhat doubtful, have been re-
corded.-Spirit.

CT Dupler. aged thirty four years, Of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
a chronic catarrh which ne first discOv-

Ducks are considered by many g
nuisance; but where ones grounds
are so situated that they can be
kept from the water when young,
and allowed their freedom to it
when older, without their being in
danger from meddlesome visitors,
no branch of poultry raising is more
profitable. True they are enormous
feeders-my neighbor says his
ducks waken at midnight to eat
but they mature 80 rapidly and are
in such good demand for the table
that the returns are good. Parties
having stock of the newer and larg-
or varieties, that is pure, would do
well to advertise the fact, as we hear
Of frequent inquiries for them that
we cannot answer.

KNITTING Stockings.

Mrs. E. F., in the Farm and Fire
side, says:
was greatly benefited last win
ter by knitting my little girls stock
ings q new way, and 1 trust all
mothers who may do their own
knitting may try it, for it more
than doubles their wearing quail
ties. Cast on the required number
of stitches and knit the usual length
before narrowing; when ready to
narrow do so once on each needle,
and then knit six or seven times
around before narrowing again
continue to narrow in that way,
taking care that the narTowings do
not occur in the same place, until
the ankle is reached, wheH it should
be Of the size Of an ordinary stock
ing. l have not found it necessary
to narrow any after reaching the
ankle until l came to the toe, which
l narrow off as usual; but if the
foot should seem too large, there
could be q few stitches narrowed
before coming to the toe.
Some may object to knitting
them without = heel, but they fit
just as well, and as the wear will
never come two weeks IN the came
place, there is no knee to wear out
while the back is like new. l also
knit No. 70 cream colored linen
thread with the yarn down well
past the knee and find them actual
ly proof against wear on very ac-
tive, restless child. Some people
think it foolish to knit stockings,
now that you can buy them so
warm and cheap, but L never find
them so warm as home made, and
believe many err in dressing the
feet too thin.

We had the privilege, on Tues
day, of beholding the longest beard
we ever saw. The possessor of it
is Mr.. E. B. Fariss, whs lives near
Hurricane Springs in this county.
Mr.. Fariss, in company with Capt.
Taylor and DIS. Grizzard and Cat
tbs, visited our office and exhibited
his beard. 1t measured six feet
and six inches when combed out
straight. He keeps it plated and
folded up under his chin, and when
the plat is let down it lies several
inches an the floor as he stands
straight. He is about five feet, ten
inches high and looks to be about
forty-five years of age. This beard
is the growth OF twelve years. We
challenge any county in the state
to produce one that will beat it

The object to be reached IN rails
ing early lambs is to mature a fine
animal of good size as early as pos
sible. Then it is very important
that the lambs be given an early
start. The first few days is the
critical time, and unless the little
lamb is started rightly it will not
be ready for market in season to Sc
cure the highest price. The best
treatment for the fret few days Is to
keep them warm and dry and feed
them all the milk Of q fresh COW
they can be induced to take. The
handiest method of feeding cows
milk to lambs is to take a good siz-
ed cow-horn and clean it APP nicely,
leaving the large end open to pour
the milk in. The little end must
have a small hole bored in it and q
gum nipple fitted over it and it is
ready for use. After the lambs
have learned to eat with their
mouths they should have a small
pen partitioned off in one corner OF
the stable arranged so that LAMBS
can run in pleasure, but so that the
eyes cannot. They should have
feed in their pen at least twice a
day. Bran, chopped feed. oil cake,
etc., or a combination of these with
corn meal, make the best grain
feeds, and if they are allowed all
they can be induced to eat from the
start, there will be no danger of
over feeding. Let no trouble or
feed be spared to mature them ear
ly and make them as large and fat
as possible.-Stockman.

How 70 Make sheepskin RUGS.

4 correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, in reporting . meeting of q
lady's Improvement club" says
Mrs. Gay was the first 20 speak and
told us how to make sheepskin rugs.
She said: "As requested, l have
brought along the rug, though rath-
er bulky thing to carry around,
and will tell oil about it from the
beginning l first wash the skin in
warm soapsuds to make the wool
white and clean, and with the fin
gers pick out matted places and all
bits of dirt and brush. 1t generally
needs to be washed at least through
three waters TO get it clean and then
must be Tinsed thoroughly once in
clean, hard water to take out the
suds. Dissolve half a pound OF
alum and a pound of salt in ten
quarts Of boiling water and mix this
in a tubful of water. Let the skins
lie IN this seven hours; then hang
them over . line to drain, wool side
out. As soon as the wool is dry
stretch and tack the skins, wool
side down, on some fiat surface, as a
large board or the side of the barn
or Woodhouse. I stretched mine on
the garnet floor after first placing 8
few papers over the boards, and
tackled in as many places as needed.
As soon as the skin is about half
dry rub 1t thoroughly over with a
mixture of equal parts of powdered
saltpetre and alum and repeat this
every day for three days, then take
it up, fold the skin sides together
and lay it away. After three days
spread it down on a table and scrape
of all the lumpy places with blunt
knife and rub it well with sandpa-
pea or pumice stone; it will then be
soft and pliable."
Mrs. GarsOn-'l particularly
want to know how to cut and sew
the skin. l had two given me but
don't know how to make them up"
Mrs. Gay-"The skin must be cut
on the wrong side with a sharp
knife-scissers cut off too much
wool. 1t can be cut into any shape,
and all the small pieces can be
joined to the larger ones by sewing
them over and over. No matter how
many times it is pieced it does not
show on the right side. For Innings
1 used flannel, pinked the edge, let
it come beyond the edge of the skin.
l covered the stitches which hold
the lining and skin together with a
row of feather stitch"

Any land that will bear clover
can be made rich. Ii is not wise,
however, to put field in clover and
then keep it pastnIed down closely.
If the top is not allowed to grow the
root viii not grow, and a double
loss occurs. By frequent blowing
under of clover the soil will soon
become in fine condition for almost
any crop. 1t is more economical
to enrich by green manuring than
in any other manner, and the effects
are lasting and permanent.-Spirit.

In the poultry business one should
not spend too much money the first
year, especially if he is a recent con

The following account is given OF
the origin of the term "eavesdrop
per-: At the revival of Masonry in
1717, curious punishment was in
flicted upon a man who listened at
the door of a Masonic meeting in
order to hear its secrets. He was
sumInarily sentenced "to be placed
under the caves Of an clubhouse
while it was raining hard, till the
water ran in under the collar of lis
coat and out at his shoes" The
penalty was inflicted on the spot,
and the name has continued ever
since.

"Well," the happy bridegroom

sion of the ceremony, chow much

There Is an intimate relation be-
tween the poverty of labor and the
liquor traffic. In one manufsctur-
ing town Gall River) $1,O00,00 is
spent annually in strong drink, and
liquor saloons pay $4,000 annually
for licenses. Laborers are frequent
~ told to spend less for liquor and
theytwil have more money for beef.
Yet this is no answer. The best
men and keenest thinkers are puz-
zled over the present phase Of the
labor problem. One set of think
ers say give US higher duties; an
other class wants lower duties; la
borers cry for co operation; green
hackers for more money and less
/, interest; other reformers for free
+, land and no rent. All are splutter-
ing. -Tradesmau.
Prohibition is worth mora than
all.
One of the principal advantages
of having a separate house for .s,1Ii-
try is in being sat5iie to save their
drrSppings. These should not be
allowed to accumulate all winter,
but should be removed at least
: once a week, as they are a fruitful
source of disease if not so removed.
You will be surprise how many bar
) rels of the best of fertilizer you
! will have next spring if you thus
save the droppings from twenty
well fed fowls. Without having
tried it in just that form, we ven
,. ture this assertion: Place the ma
nure thus obtained on twenty rows
of corn across a ten acre field, put
! ting a portions in and around each
hill, and the surplus corn in those
: twenty rows over twenty rows
along side Of them, not so fertilized,
will be more than enough to feed
= the twenty fowls all the year.
For great many years the News
and Courier has been crying for
the cotton mill to be brought to the
cotton fields, but it seems now
that one of them, at least, does not
= intend to stop until it reaches Mex
leo. This is literally going too far
and the Quequechan Mill Company
will probably find, in the end, that
it would have been more profitable
to manufacture its goods in the
south and ship them to Mexico,
than to ship the cotton to Mexico
to be manufactured there. There
is no use in trying to dodge the in.

turing business of the future =
