Soldiers and Lawyers.

Here is a list, and it will be seen how
soldiers and lawyers have really mon.
opolized the presidential Office:
Washington was a soldier,
Adams a lawyer,
Jefferson a lawyer,
Madison lawyer,
Monroe a lawyer,
Adams a lawyer,
Jackson soldier,
Van Buren, q lawyer,
Harrison soldier,
Tyler lawyer,
Polk a lawyer.
Taylor a soldier,
Fillmore a lawyer,
Pierce lawyer,
Buchanan a lawyer,
Lincoln a lawyer,
johnson a politician,
Grant soldier,
Hayes lawyer,
Garfield a lawyer,
Arthur a lawyer,
Cleveland lawyer,
Lawyers, 16; soldiers. 5; politicians,
Thus it will be seen that lawyers,
soldiers or professional politicians are
the classes to which the presidency has
actually been confined. And yet we
are the most practical business people
on the face of the earth.

2. The Larvae of the parasites are usually intro

them by eating the worms which are coughed
up by those having them. 8. They may be
prevented by putting little salycilic acid in
the water the chickens drink. 4. 1t may be
cured by mixing garlic or onions freely in their
food or by mixing powdered assafetida and
powdered gentian with it.

A popular clergyman recently gave
a lecture on "Fools.' The tickets of

preach a sermon on little things, and

To be Done In August.

In regard to trimming fruit trees, a corre-
spondent says:'I do not approve of cutting off the
tops of trees as general practice, fer think
the upward growth will be greater after the cut
ting back than before. very good thing to do
to rough bark trees is to scrape the trunk and
lower branches as high as you can reach, and
then give three applications of potash soap on
the parts scraped during the warm weather. II
the time can be found in August the incipient
foreign growth of the trees may be checked by
rubbing over with the hand, thus saving great
amount of trimming afterwards. The reason is
that in August the sap Of the tree is less active
than before, and the tree has virtually attained
its growth by that time"

Hay for Market.

In growing hay for market it always pays the
best to grow a good quality. 1t should not
only be free from weeds and small bushes, but
also from all meadow grasses. A few pounds
of meadow hay in a load Of hay will often make
a difference in price of several dollars ton.
1t is also very important that hay for the market
should be well cured, so that it will come out
bright and sweet; hay cured so that it will come
out smoky is hard to sell at greatly reduced
price, especially if to be fed to hoases.

not be long before We shall have to do our own

milks, but where mixed husbandry is followed
it is almost impossible to hire a good mixer.
Milking is an art. Families and races may be
born to it, but to make q good mixer out of

given to the man. after supper and before sun

The suit Of the Southern Devel-

IN the United States Circuit Court

action is one in equity to recover
$40, 000-the price paid for silver

plant charges that the company
purchased the property In 1884
through the false and fraudulent
representation of Silva, and also
charges that the claim, which is
situated near Darwin, was sailed.
Discovering that fact, the company
caused the arrest of Silva for OBJ
tanning money under false pre-.
lenses. The jury disagreed, and
then the company. learning that
he had $500 Of the purchase
money on deposit, brought the
present action and garnished it.
Silyas lawyer set up a claim that
the certificate of deposit had been
transferred to him, and thus the
matter now stands. The prayer of
the plaintiffs is that they be al
lowed to deed the property back to
Silva and he refund to them the
purchase price.
