Buffers Prank.

Benjamin F. Butler when youth,
was as great madcap as ever entered
the halls of college, In all Jokes, adj
ventures and escapades he was the &C.
knowledged ringleader. On one occa-
sion when lecture was to be delivered
in the chapel of the university in which
he was q student, 1.-THE boys" deter
mined to have some fun, and as it was to
be entirely original, the management
of the affair was turned over to young
Butler. 1t was known that the prettiest
girls in town were to be present. Ac.
cordingly on the afternoon of the even
ing in question Butler instructed each Of
his companions t } catch all the swallows
possible, and to hold them in readiness
for the night. This was done, and the
boys assembled with one or more of the
birds concealed about his person.
On entering the hall the young col
legians separated and took seats in diff.
ferent portions of the room, each keep
ing an eye on the ruling spirit of the
hour. When the lecture was about one
third finished the signal was given and
the imprisoned birds were released.
Every swallow made straight for a light,
and at the same instant the gas was ex,
tinguished and the cry raised of "bats, -
The ladies and children screamed, the
boys cried "fre" and the greatest
amount of suppositious kissing took
place among the students. When the
lights were relit much of the male ele.
ment of the audience had disappeared,
and it was deemed unnecessary to ask
any questions. Everybody soon knew
that it was one of the pranks of villa

Oatmeal is deservedly growing in
popularity as human food. The crop in
this country is unusually large and in
most places the grain is very plump. 1t
is not necessary to hull the oats before
grinding, as is usually done, which
makes oatmeal cost more than the best
wheat flour. Grind first and sift tho
meal through fine sieve, and the oat-
meal will be just as good and cost con-
siderable less.
1t is always bad policy to crop bearing
orchards, and one reason for this is that
it generally prevents their pasturing by
pigs, which are the best scavengers for
destroying wormy fruit with its contents.
The apples in our markets would bo
fairer if pigs had the range of apple
orchards, and the pigs themselves would
be more healthful food. If not ringed,
pigs will give an orchard all the plow
ing it needs, with no danger of injury to
tree roots.
Many dairymen lose largely in profit
for want of selection in cows. In two
animals of given size the daily waste
may be about equal. This daily waste
constitutes large per cent. of the food
consumed. Take two cows-one giving
six quarts of milk day, and the other
twelve quarts. The one giving twelve
quarts is cheap to the dairyman at double
the price of that giving six quarts per
day. 1t costs as much again to supply
the waste of the two as one. Hence, for
the food given, the returns are a long
way in favor of the twelve-quart COW.
