He wa. Not InquIsitive.

A man applied yesterday for mar
riage license to the County Clerk. All
went we'll until he WAS asked the name
of his best girl, when he suddenly
scratched his head and blushingly ad-
mitted that he didn't know it. He had
ALWAYS called her Jennie and that was
good enough for him. If it hadn't been
for the curiosity of the official it is like
ly that the husband-to be--would never
have known his dear Jennies' fathers
name, os she will not have to ulc it

tonian, I'd dam Daisy MaId, Seele'y
American Star. He is seven years
old and was bred by Gen. W. L.
Withers, Fairlawn Stock Farm,
Kentucky. Harbinger acquired a
four ear.old record of 40 in a
race, and showed himself to be a
very gamy colt, the race being Il
seven heat affair. His first colt
brought him immediate reputation
as "A sire, and she is the only colt of
her age three years We refer to
Iarbell, which last season got a
record of 40 1-2, and this year is
to be faster than a little ghost "
In the next years crop was one
even better than Iiarbell,-llercu-
les, a colt of immense size and
strength, aud as ne-gaited a colt
as ever stepped in iron. Last win
ter, as a yearling, he could haul
two men to sleigh at a 30 clip.
Unfortunately for his owner, this
colt was taken sick early in the
spring and has not yet recovered.
The Harbinger colts will attract
attention everywhere for their
beauty, and their pure trotting ac-
ton. Harbinger is owned by y.
w. Bracket, Pittsfeld.
DR. Franklin is the best represen-
tative of Gen. Know now left to
man. He is fourteen years old
and was sired by Gen. Knox, dam
by Winthrop Morrill,. He is a
beautiful black horse, stands - 81

burst of speed of any horse that
ever appeared on Maine track
His record is 2.3l IA, but he has
trotted at Mystic in 2.21 II. He
is the son of Dart, the wonderfully
fast New York horse. which has
trotted halls in LOB; Lawrence a

How to Succeed with Fowls.

Success with fowls kept exclu
sively for their eggs is gained on
ly by constant care for their clean.
illness and comfort. They must
have variety of food, II good,
large run, with opportunity to exer.
else, or to be forced to take exer-
ercise in scratching for their feed,
as upon floor covered with chatt-
ed straw. They may be kept
safely in focks of seventy to one
hundred, but the larger the flock
the more danger there is from dis.
ease and thieves. The free use of
crude carbOlic acid is great safe
guard. 1t may be applied in saw
dust or clay, the dry material be-
ing moistened by the carbolic acid
thoroughly stirred into it. The less
of the carbOlic acid that is used the
better, provided every article of
dry clay has its quota. The disiu-
fectant thus prepared, may pc used
i'll the nests, in the busting box, up
oh thc ilooIS, uHtleT tne TOOCS, etc.
1t is fatal alike to parasites and to
tendency to disease in most cases.
1t cannot be depended upon in dir
ty houses, for fermenting manure,
receiving fresh additions constant
ly, will overpower almost any dis
infectant that could be safely used.
By spading or blowing up a por-
ton of the runs frequently. fowls
gain healthful exercise and find a
few shrubs and worms, and with
breads of fowls, which are active
by nature, exercise means eggs,
and incidentally, perfect health. =

Restoring Rancid butter.

1t is not unfrequently the cast
that the farmers wife who has the
care of the butter has some that for
some cause has grown rancid. and
any one who has ever been trou-
5led at all in that way knows that
rancid butter is of little account.
Among numerous ways that are
employed to restore such butter to
a condition that it may be used is
the following: to pint of water
and thirty drops of liquor of chlor-
ide of lime, and in this wash two
and half pounds of rancid butter;
after every particle has come in
contact with the water, let it stand
an hour or two and then wash in
clean, pure water. Another me
thod is this: Wash the butter in
good new milk, after which wash
in cold spring water.
Rancidity is believed tobe caused
by the presence of butyric acid,
which is freely soluble in new milk,
and hence the thorough washing
is expected to remove the acid
and the cause of rancidity. An
other method is to beat up a quar-
ter of a pound of good fresh lime in
a pail of water, and after allowing
it to stand for an hour, or until all
have settled, pour off the
;lear portion and wash thoroughly
he rancid butter in it Bad butter

Pennsylvania does not approach

in the West, Northwest and South
west generally the supply will be

Treatment of Potatoes.

To prevent the loss of potatoes
by rot, we have, says the Albany
Cultivator, adopted with success i'll
former Years and now the following
management; As soon as the pota
to tops begin to die, which i'll early
sorts takes place by the end of Jn-
ly, we harvest the tubers. The au-
tumn rains not having set in, they
come out of the soil clean and
bright. If there has been heavy
rain, we omit the digging until the
soil becomes dry enough to leave
the potatoes clean, as the rot MS
ually begins first under adhereing
portions of earth. The strong and
cheap twenty -fve-eent baskets now
made are used in gathering the po-
tatoes, and enough of these baskets
to make "a wagon load. The Use OF
the baskets obviates the necessity
of handling the potatoes again.
They are drawn to the barn, where
on cool side, a Slated floor is pro
vided, and they are gently emptied
from the baskets on this floor.
The tendency to rot is prevented
te some degree by not brnising, lay
ing them instead of throwing them
into the baskets when they are
picked up, and again emptying the
baskets carefully. Additional pro.
lection from rot is secured by hay
ing the tubers perfectly clean. y
third and very important aid is the
ventilation on the Slated floor.
Here they remain two or three
months, covering them with u lay
er of straw to exclude light, On
the approach Of freezing weather in
November, they are taken to the
cellar and placed in large boxes,
with Slated bottoms, and raised a
few inches from the cement floor
on cross pieces of scantling These
boxes hold about twenty bushels
each, and resemble those used by
nursery men for packing trees. 1t
will be seen that the only handling
or Manipulating required is in plac-
ing them in the baskets in the field
after digging, and conveying them
from the barn to the cellar.
