Don't ask him where he has been the

Plain Talk to Farmers.

Never give greasy dishwater to pigs; it's
too rich for their blood Feed it to the hired
man.
The best way to raise potatoes is with
table fork. Some use case knife; but as its
sharp edge is liable to convert common
sized mouth into an alligator-like abysmal
grub-trap, that method should be avoided.
A farm barn should have all the modern
improvements. Place nice roof over it,
and good fence around it. Then pat big
insurance for double its value ON it, and
some dark and windy night shove a lighted
torch under it
Always postpone threshing until a propi-
tious time Ii you've got grudge against
a 2O0-pound neighbor, wait til some day
when he is sick, or has his back turned TO

thresh the life out of him. if you want to.

istence, and ere it has outlived It's useful

King Milan,s Coat of Mail.

When Servia first began to ferment
dark rumors were heard that King Milan
was constantly in dread of assassination,
and that he had taken to wearing coat
of mail next his royal skin. Whether
the king fears assassination or not it
seems to be perfectly true that he wears
armor, for some interesting particulars
thereto regarding have been obtained
from the Vienna firm which manufact-
ured it. The coat of mail is hardly what
a Norman warrior would have under
stood by the phrase. Next the body it is
of the softest silk. Over this is thick,
tightly compressed layer of elder down,
upon which again is a layer ofwadding;
the outer surface is of the toughest leath-
er. This armor reaches from the neck to
the knees, and covers the arms as far as
the elbows. The cost of King Milan's
dagger and bullet proof case was ESQ,
which seems to be remarkably cheap. 1t
is no doubt very comfortable wear in
winter, but it would be an inconvenient

The Texan Isedbug.

The redbug is by no means as large rs
grizzly tear, but he is twice as ferocious
There are many instances on record of
grizzly bear running from O man, but no
man has ever seen redbug exhibit anything
but the most c.inging affection. He sticks
to the man of his choice like brother, and
even cruel treatment seems to make no i'm
preston on his mind.
Redbugs are about as large as one of the
periods used in punctuating this article. If
you can use them for that purpose l will
send on a newly married pair, and by the
time they get to New York you will have
enough to punctuate your entire paper for
year.
That portion of the soil which is not claimed
by the me zquite and catcus is re-empted by
the redbugs They marry and settle down
anywhere and scratch and worry along until
they have about 10000 or SO in the family.
Then they fo.m themselves into little ball
on the end of leaf or blade of grass and
cling together until man comes along
The moment he shakes the leaf or blade of
grass they drop ON him, and then each takes
a different direction and finds suitable spot
in which 10 sink shaft. Once safely be-
meath the skin they defy eviction by any
means provided man by nature. Thus, il q
man feels himself redbugless and lonely in
this section all he has to do is to take a brief
walk through the grass or lean against tree
or bush for minute and then return with
more companions than he can rid himself Of
in week.
There is only one means known to science
of serving a writ of ejectment on redbug,
and that is by literally applying kerosene.
In consequence of this you will observe on
arriving here that the most eminent citizens
smell like cracked lamp, and more coal
oil is used here for bathing purposos than
for Illumination. Kerosene seems to defect
the redbug's intellect from his connubial and
his mining pursuits and induce him to back
out to light and judgment Unless kerosene
is brought TO bear, this retrogade idea never
seems 10 occur to him, and he burrows and
works up the census with an alacrity and
cheerfulness worthy of emulation. He is
capable of going for year without food or
shelter, but when offered no pitality works
it for all it is worth. A volume might be
written about the redbug and still leave his
energies half unsung. He is not done justice
in the few lines have devoted to him. He
is not done justice by any one. A few fluent
takers here have tried todo him justice in
the interests of kerosene baths. but kave
failed. The subject is too vast Henry Guy

To BE warm and Well in winter.

"If you want to keep warm" said an
old physician, 4you must get lots to eat.
There wouldn't be half the sickness there
is in the winter time if the people would
eat more good substantial food"
"What sort, for instance?" asked re-
porter, who was listening.
why, plenty of meat, that's the al
ticle that keeps your blood warm and
rich, and your flesh vessels fat. A man
who starts out these cold mornings with
a good big breakfast concealed about his
person is not going to suffer from the
weather. Yes, indeed, the colder it is;
the more you want to eat. You can't
eat enough to hurt you, in the winter
time: the more you eat the warmer. and
the happier you feel n-Cincinnat Times
