CUTTING AND CURING CLovER.-Good,
we'll cured clover is good feed, especially
for sheep; but when black and dusty it is
hardly fit to place before stock. Under Or
dinary circumstances, it can be had sweet,
clean and bright, as we'll as otherwise. If
the mower is started in the morning, run it
until noon or later, and rake or put the
clover in cocks before you quit the field at
night. 1t will cure almost as much there
during the night, by heating, as in the day
time, and will leave the blossoms and leaves
all intact exposure to hot sun causes them
to fall off, leaving only the bare stalk to 60
to the stack or NOW. Early in the morning,
when the dew is off, turn out the cocks,
shake up the clover once or more before
dinner, and Immediately after it will be
ready for the barn. Some prefer to NOW
late in the afternoon, letting the clover lie
in the swath over night, to he stirred, rak-
ed, and hauled in the following day, but if
heavy dew or rain falls during the night,
the hay will be black and stock will eat it
less eagerly. Caps Of cotton cloth can be
used to good advantage to cover the clover
when in cocks. Near the cities clover is
often sold in small bundles to he fed to
city horses as kind of "dessert" or altera-
tive. 1t can be made highly profitable to
any one conveniently situated.

Ras- Many farmers have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that better results can
be obtained from moderate quantity of
manure applied after the land is plowed, the
manure being covered and worked into the
surface soil by good disk harrow, than by
spreading it upon the land and ploWing it
into the soil. In the former case it is left
near the surface, and as it becomes soluble
the plant roots appropriate all the fertiliz-
ing elements.

How TO KEEP CIDER SWEET.-Pure
sweet cider that is arrested in the process of
fermentation before it becomes acetic acid
or even alcohol, and with carbonic acid gas
worked out, is one of the most delightful
beverages. The Farm, Field and Firestde
recommends the following scientific method
of treating cider to preserve its sweetness:
When the saccharine matters by fernnenta-
tion are being converted to alcohol, if a
bent tube be inserted alright into the bung,
with the other end in pale of water, to al
low the carbonic acid gas evolved to pass off
without admitting any air into the barrel,
beverage will be obtained that is tit nectar
for the gods. A handy way is to fill your
cask nearly up to to faucet when the cask
is rolled so that the bung is down. Get a
common rubber tube and slip it over the
end of the plug in the faucet, with the other
end in the pail. Then turn the plug so that
the cider can have communication with
the pail. After the water ceases to bubble,
bottle or store away.

Music IN PUBLIC SCHOOLs.-To train
children properly every sense should be dis
ciplined. The teaching of music in schools,
it seems to us, is very important, because
the trained ear more readily detects and re.
members slight notifications of sound, and
thus assists the pupil in recognizing those
variations, so important to correct pronun-
citation, and to aid him in becoming lin
guist, or in even speaking his own language
with fautless accuracy. faculty is train
ed by using it, and hence in its practical re-
lation how important it is to train the ear
by music. Its influence in refining human
life is an acknowledged fact Professor
Tourjee's remark, that the instruction of
children in music tends to silence the ribald
songs in our streets, is very true one, and
it's moral influence acknowledged. When
a boy is full of jollity he breaks out in sing
ing or Whistling. AS child's character is
moulded by little things, it is very impor-
tant what he sings in the formative period Of
youth, when education is taking place. 1t
pays to educate children in all their facul-
ties, for what they become the world soon
becomes through them. Why not teach
music in the public schools as a needtul
training of an important faculty?-Woon-
socket Patriot.

"NONE OF THE PARTIES ARE KNOWN TO
HAVE BEEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
LIQUoR."-This is what the papers say in
detailing the particulars Of the murder Of
John Cheatham, and the serious wounding
of his brother James, in Raleigh, the other
night. Who can guess why this attempt to
exculpate the bottle should be made in ad-
vance of any investigation? Somebody
about Raleigh is becoming awfully tender
footed. The quick effort at exculpation,
however, sounds more like the voice of a
guilty conscience quivering under the focus
of public inspection. The following from
the Durham Reporter gives plain state
ment, with the neck Of the bottle plainly in
view:
Last night about o'clock, two men,
Smith and Gooch, went into the bar room
of John Cheatham and his brother to settle
a bar bill. After the cutting, Gooch and
Smith went into neighboring bar room,
and tried to buy a drink on credit, when
they remarked, "We have fixed them fel-
lows in the other house."
Let the truth come. Raleigh, for the
sake of revenue, licenses the mills that
grind out just such results Well, when the
Thar account" comes up for final settlement
it will appear how the majority of corpo-
ration may be "under the influence of
liquor. .'-Greens6OrO Workman.

Rag There is nothing better for a cut than
powdered resin. Pound it until fine, and
put it in an empty, clean pepper-box with
perforated top, then you can easily sift it
out on the cut; put a soft cloth around the
injured member, and wet it with cold water
once in while. 1t will prevent intiamma-
tion and soreness.

HE BooMED TOO HARD.-A Detroit
firm employed a new collector few days
ago, and among other bills he was given
one which had long been classed under the
head of ''doubtful." He was informed that
the chances of his getting anything were
extremely dubious, but was promised half
of all he could collect. In two hours after
starting out he was back with the money
on the doubtful blll, a ana o,iaa When asked no"
"After getting into his office I locked the
door. pocReted the key, and told him he'd
either got to come down or I'd break every
bone in his body. He shelled out, and both
of us $40 are ahead"
The next day the firm paid $50 to settle
a case of "eXtorting money by threats OF
violence" and the collector was kindly, in
formed that he could have long vacation
for the benefit of his health.--Ffee Press

ate use Of coaiIe. Not only the pati. Mt
hiHseifb but his entire FIRMLY, consisting OF
wife and five children, ht vs. been practi-
caily ruined by his excetsse.
On Friday the patient accompanied by
some friends Was taken before judge Prem

disposed of az d the room was almost clear
of the usual crowd of curious spectators.
There was no jury and the affair WAS con-
Quoted as quietly as possible. TWAS shown
that DR.. Bradley had been adicte d to the
use Of cocaine to such an extent as to rem
der him practically insane.
The story was told that the doctor had
under its influence, performed ex periments
on his family that have made them phyki-
cal wrecks. His claim was that he could
in jscs the hydrochlorate without pain and
remove the flesh without il jury to the pa
tient. He mi scted some of 1t into his own
arm, aud then with red-hot iron burned
it out without hinching. Some more of it
he injected into the wrist of his 3year-old
child, and then with knife cut ont the
fl ssh, the little one apparently suffering nc
pain. He used the dTng promlscuously
in the family, and became himself q slave
to it until in q little time his practice fell
away and his family was reduced to want.
Under the inf 1ence of the stuff he claimed
he was its discoverer; that would revoIu-
tionizs medicine ard that the world
would recognize in him benefactor, whose
name would go down to the ages.
The doctor became frantic on the ub
ject and mortgaged all he possessed, even
his horse and buggy to pursue his fsvorits
study.
The scene in the court room was dra-
matte. The poor victim seemed to realize
his si' atom and suddenly raising his
voice 10 high pitch and becoming highly
excited, he called on God to help convince
the Judge and the physicians present thai
this theory was right.
Dr.. Wordsworth testified that he believed
the man ms ne from the use Of cocoains
and morphine.
