How would Rock Island aldermen like
a rule something like this to govern
them?
According to the Rockford Register the
trustees Of Pecatonica have actually
passed and caused printed an ordinance
providing that any trustee absent from n
regular meeting of the board shall be
tried before the police magistrate and
fined $50 for each absence, and in default
of payment OF the inc and costs shall be
placed in Jail not to exceed six months.
AT the first regular meeting OF the board
after such fine has been imposed it NAV
be suspended by unanimous vote of the
board, upon the fined trustee giving good

Late Oats.

An agricultural writer says in the In
diana Farmer that he knows of nothing
more nutritious in the line of forage than
oats cut and cured just as they are getting
fairly headed out. This is the time that
the rust generally strikes them, blighting
the grain and running the fodder. Late
oats should be watched closely and if the
rust sets in, see that the mower IS in the
field not far behind it. Itmay seem hard
to Law down heavy crop of growing
grain, but better get few tons of first
class foragethan small crop of blighted
oats. which will cost you just as much to
harvest and nearly as much to thresh as a
good crop You will also save a consid-
cradle drain upon the land by cutting the
crop green. instead of allowing it to stand
and rpen the straw and the little grain
that it yields Handle a crop of late oats
Just as you would a crop of clover-cut it
at night while the is no dew on. aud let
it lay in the swath till the next afternoon,
when rake up and bunch. The next day
1t may be shaken out in the forenoon and
hauled in the afternoon.

The Queer Things auckland Ate.

One of the most curions traits about him
was his complete Indifference to the disgust
ing side Of his experiments in the uses of
animal life. Thus. when the panther in the
Surrey Geological Gardens died, he insisted
on having it disinterred, that he mi ght cook
panther chop and taste it.which he did, with
the dry remark that cit was not very good"
And he seldom lost an opportunity of trying
a new TODD. however disgusting some might
have thought il. A friend who found him
eating a piece OF dead kelt salmon at the
time of year when salmon are unfit to be
eaten asked him how he could taste anything
so ahominabiy nasty; to which he replied
= 1t is nasty enough, but how can | say so
unless have tried it?'
Again and again he records how much the
worse he felt for some of these experiments !;
how the lump-fsh soup. which was ''some-
thing like turtle" made him rather seedy"
the next day; how the horse-flesh banquet re-
suited in fit of bad indigestion; how he
boiled elephant-trunk for many days without
producing any particular result on the hard
ness of the TEXTURE and so forth With one
exception. OF an oyster the size of a
Cheesepate,- was no more discouraged
from making experiments on his own stomach
by any sense of disgust than he was discour-
aged by his dislike of cold and physical i'll
ness from venturing into freezing water in
search of salmon-eggs,-a pursuit which
seems to have cost him his life.-From The
Spectator (London.)

Flowers and the Lawn.


Give the climbers support.
A mulch helps hollyhocks.
Pull off the needless suckers from
shrubs.
If cannas are wanted very large don't
let them bloom.
The best time to prune shrubs is direct.
" after the bloom is gone.
Better not NOW the yard at all than to
neglect the margins and corners.
Neighbors can club together in owning
lawn mower. Where this plan has
been tried, it has worked well.
Pansies. mignonette, sweet alyssum,
and many other flowers will bloom with
much greater freedom if no flower is al
lowed to seed.
Thin the Seed Grown Plants.-Seed an
nuals and other seed grown flowers are
usually so cheap that it is proper to SOW
them somewhat thickly to ensure a
good stand. No greater mistake can
occur, however, than to let such
grow on without thinning, if the
seed comes up well. One or two plants
to square foot of space, in most cases.
will make a far better show than hall
dozen or twenty plants in the same area.
Weed the Lawns.-Whether lawn is
made By seeding or laying the turf, there
is almost sure to come a battle against
plantans and other coarse weeds. before
a handsome. velvety plot is secured. The
wedding should be done as early in the
season as possible. There is no better
way than to get right down to the work
with a stiff bladed knife and sever every
perennial weed from its root, just below
the crown. Where the weeds are thick
this may seem a big task, but person
working steadily at it soon makes head
way A neighbor, whose lawn needed
wedding. got his children interested in
the work by paying a small bounty tor
each hundred weeds dug up, and they soon
got over the piece.
