A fly blown sheep can readily be distin-
guished. 1t stands perfectly still. with the
head near the ground, ears slightly dropping,
when, all of a sudden it will start to rum
giving short, quick Jerks, with the hind legs,
something like a horse that is string halted,
and peculiar sideway motion of the spine.
This is the first Indication of fly blow the
shepherd has. As the naggots increase in size
and number the poor sheep will lie down,
jump up with start, utter a mournful bleat
as il it recognized that unless relieved soon
its days would be few.
The best remedy for a fly blown sheep is to
shear it as soon as possible and as close as can
be done. Then take of kerosene and water
equal parts and bathe the parts infected with
maggots This will usually kill them in
stantly. Watch the sheep, and if any mag
gots have escaped the first time, give an
other application in say from four To eight
hours. II this second application does not re-
move all, repeat every four to eight hours
until no more maggots are to I've found. Then
apply any healing ointment to the part where
the maggots We're. If you have no ointment
apply good, clean lard two three times
daily until the sores are entirely we'll Give

Gas tar water is sure death to potato bugs
S. II. Hart. of Bridgton, N. ", near Roches-
ter, has for two years past used on his potato
vines water which has been impregnat.d with
gas tar. Put two quarts of gas tar in n pail
and fill the pail with water; stir it up well
and let the tar settle; then sprinkle the vines
with the water from sprinkling pot This
has proved more effective than Paris green
He has also tried it ON currant bushes, and
finds it equally effective. 1t is inexpensive
and perfectly reliable and no doubt will
prove equally sure death to insects of every
kind ON trees. This gas tar can he had for 81
a barrel, and one barrel would supply a
whole township.

Sweet Corn Fodder.

Cut it before the stalks Lave turned alto
gether yellow. Strip oil al the ears, and
feed these separately; leave the stalks on the
ground forty eight hours then bind them in
sheaves ot about twenty pounds when dry,

few, and set these up in small stocks, pro
tected rs stocks of small grain are, bound
closely at the top to shed rain They cure in
this way very well, with twenty five sheaves,
500 pounds, i'll each stock, and after a
month may be gathered into larger shocks,
small stacks, in two tiers with cap, and
having 100 sheaves, OF II ton in each One
sheaf makes, when cut and mixed with the
ground feed, an ample meal for four cows, or
an abundant supply for one day for one COW.
By putting up the crop in this way it is quite
easy to measure out the fodder without waste
or excess, and to feed regularly rs to guam
tity without special measuring, and by sim
ply counting the sheaves. The use of sweet
corn fodder is extending rapidly.

The other evening, when storm was at its
height and lightning was playing tag across
the black sky, three young men OF neighbor-
ing city climbed up into the loft of Il tele-
phone office The switch boards and annun-
ciators were being manipulated by nimble
boys Blue sparks were jumping from point
To point ON the big switch boards, and scores
OF drops were constantly rattling down
against the prass rods of the annunciator
frames The boys were very busy pushing up
local drops, AMI they paid little attention To
the out-of town indicators which are arranged
ON the front of cabinets supported by sewing
machine tables. These drops were all down,
and the visitors replaced them and stood wait
ing to see them fall again Nassau street
tNewYork) went down at the first flash, and
before the sky was again illuminated, Eliza
beth, Newark and Paterson went rattiing
down. Spring street and John street fell
simultaneously during the next ten seconds,
AMI Orange came tumhling after.
When the drops were replaced one OF the
young men remarked that the Elizabeth drop
was doing more falling than any other drop.
Each Of the others thought that a particular
drop "n his table would be first to so down,
and they began to back their opinion with
dimes. The coins were laid on the cabinets
over the favorite drops and the hackers waited
patiently Tor a flash of lightning To hit their
particular wires and enrich them. Betting
was lively for half an hour, and it was OBJ
served that the smart youth who bet on wires
entirely tn the east of the office won nearly
all of the money, and it was found afterward
that the storm passed over in that direction

tropolis-What Shah We Do?
The passion for gambling afilicts every
gra,le of New York's population In the
hotels the scullons below stairs, the porters
who shoulder monstrouS trunks and shine
your boots, the walters i'm the dining hall, the
newsboys at the stationery counter, the genial
clerk in the office, the artists in the bar
and the hospitabIe proprietor himself bet in
dis,riminately and constantly ON everything,
from a st.eple chase to a race between snails.
While betting is the commont=st and most open
form Of gambling here it must not bs forgotten
that every known device Is employed tn tempt
the thousands Who are tainted with the disease
for p,aniblin.; has really become the most
troublesome malady that affiicts tho body
social iu the country's commercial capital
well known journalist of the city said to
me the other evening, while chatting in the
private office at Wallack's theatre: In New
York gambling has practically killed most
other forms of home amusement. Poker
Is the rage in private circles. Why, it is hardly
cre,litibe, yet | personally know it to be true
that for months past poker has absorbed up
town society to the exclusion OF all ordinary
pleasures 1t has come to the point that as
soon the cloth is removed after dinner out
come the cards and chips and the long sessions
begin. Big money IS won and lost III aristo-
cratic homes where the women, especially,
play with IA reckless desperation surprising
belief. But then what are you going to do
about it. Everybody gamblcs here in one
form or other, and the madness is spreading
northward with every new moon. 1t Is a
mildew that is fast rotting away the founda-
tion Of society. There is only one remedy for
it; let women set their faces against it in pri-
vate homes-make it questionable up town
and we shall soon see n healthy change. Win
they do it. Well, hardly ever, for when the
woman of New York starts her toboggan she's

Description Of Its OperatiOn-A Practical
Test-The Result.
large number of people visited Colts
armory the other day to witness the operation
of the machine invented and developed 10y Mr..
joseph Thorn which sets and distributes type
at a treat pace, and which has had practical
test of more than year in New York where
several have been steadily in use during that
time The machine looks like a round tower
with IA keyboard in front and shelves at the
side. The operator plays on the keys, and type
Is carried out To trough and on to tho
shelf where the procession of pieces Of metal
is cut ut intervals, each corresponding to the
length of a line Here another operator
jIstiies the matter, that is, takes out or puts
in spaces to make the words come mt proper
distances from each other and the type exact
" fill the line While this is going ON other
type is being distributed To understand
this it is necessary to go back to the upright
cylinder first mentioned. This is made in two
parts one revolving above the other, and
each having ninety vertical grooves i'll which
the type rests. Each groove in the lower
cylinder, which Is stationary, has ridges
within it which correspond tn the projecting
tunbIers in a lock those in each groove being
different from those i'll amy other. Each typo
has corresponding notchcs cut in it, like
warts on a steel key, and the arrangement Is
such that the type Ialls from the upper re
volving cylinder only when its nOtche' cor
respond to the wards in IA groove of the lower
cylinder over which it is passing. Now by a
simple arrangement whole line of type Is
thrust into the upper cylinder. This Is re-
voIving fast and when tha lowest type finds
its appropriate groove i'll the lower cylinder
it drops into it, Then the one just above it
goes through the same performance and then
the next, and so ON.
There is an ingenious arrangement by
which the type that is set is got into n trough
The motion of the key simply throws them
out horizontally. They fall on "A round plate a
little larger than the bottom Of the cylinder
III one of whose grooves they have been rest
ing and its motion throws them out against
its circumference where at n certain point
they are shuntei into the trough and go on to
their final place.

A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never send an article for publiea-
tion without giving the editor thy
name, for thy name oftentimes Sc
cures publication to worthless arti-
cles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door
Of printing office, for he that an
swereth the rap sneeIeth in his sleeve
and loseth time.
Never DO thou loaf about nor
knock down type, or the boys viii
love thee as they do the shade trees
when thou leavest.
Thou shUuldst never read the copy
on the printers cases, or the sharp
and hooked contsiner thereof, or be
may knock thee down.
Never inquire OF the editor for
news, for behold it Is his business to
give it to thee at the appointed time
without asking for it.
1t IS not right that thou shouldst
ask him who l. the author Of an ar
tiele, for it is his duty to keep such
things unto himself
Is hen thou dost enter his office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look at what concerns thee not,
for that Is not meet in the sight of
good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it IS not ready 10 meet
thine eye, that thou msyst under
stand
Thou shouldst not delude thyself
with the thought that thou hast saw
ed few cents when thou hast secur-
ed a dead-head copy of his paper,
for hilst the printer may smile and
say It's ull right, he'll never forget
your meanness.
