Preventive of Hog Cholera.

correspondent writing to Western paper
mentions man whose herd always escapes hog
cholera: at will not do to say that he has mere
ly skipped, or has been lucky his sanitary regu-
lations such as to promote health at all times.
This mans experience is that of many who pursue
the same course, and use the same representatives.
it is the old receipe-ashes, salt, ccpperas sui
phur. Now, this is Prof. j. B. Turner's preven-
tative, if black anthony be added, and he says
of this recepe: If used before the hog isattacked
it will positively prevent the disease, and given
freely in the early stages it is a curative"
COMMITTING the anthony, I keep this preventa-
tive before my hogs at all times, in sheltered
place, Winter and Summer 1t is astonishing to
one not used to it how much hogs will consume.
An old SOW just purchased, getting this for the
first time, ate nearly bucketful and I drove her
off for fear she would kill herself. 1t did not hurt
her. Little pigs consume as much as hogs in
proportion. Fattening hogs almost invariably go
to the medicine trough after eating and drinking.
Have often seen hogs off their feed eating at the
medicine, and they well in day or So"

Rossville, 18th District.-Not long since a
dwelling house and store room belonging to Mr..
Milky, of Chases, located on the old Red Lion
road, 13 miles from Baltimore, was entirely con-
sumed by fire. 1t was occupied by family of

out-oven near the building. The property was
insured in the Baltimore County Fire Insurance
Company.

The Man and His Garden

When rising Sol with frightening rays
The landscape is adjoining.
And woodland warblers with their lays
Salute the golden morning,
The man who owns patch of ground
Is not in slumber snoring;
He then is in his garden found,
The beds for weeds exploring.
He plants and sows and rakes and hoes,
And waters the tomatoes,
And digs and sets in hills and rows
The Early Rose potatoes.
He labors for couple of hours,
Then into breakfast passes,
And what pyramid devours
Of fapjacks and molasses!
His toll may never bring him wealth,
But tits source of pleasure,
Bestowing on him robust health,
The greatest earthly treasure.

Prayers for Needy Preacher.

A distinguished Boston divine preached few
Sundays ago for a cousin who is pastor of a
church forty miles out in the country. His rela-
tive was somewhat Hurried by the presence of the
city minister and in the opening prayer with
which he prefaced the others sermon he prayed:
"Help thy servant who is to speak to US to- day.
Without Thee-help him-for." He stopped,
tried to collect himself and finished, "for, Lord,
he can't do much, anyway"

Beaut,fv the Observation-Disclosures

Beautify the Notwithstanding, perhaps
adds more to the beauty of a town or village than
good sidewalks nicely shaded, or to country
road, than to see it carefully graded and gravel
ed, and the roadside set with shade trees. The
time and expense involved in matters of thi;
kind are trifing as an individual matter, where
there is spirit of generous rivalry and co opera
ton among the people. We can imagine no one
thing that would add more beauty and attractive
ness to country roads, and indeed to the country
generally, than the planting of trees. These may
be nut fruit bearing or simply timber or shade
trees, but one or the other are valuable and at
tractive in the highest degree, lending beauty to
the landscape, shade and pleasure to the traveller
and profit to the farmer and cultivator.

How Will They Get Along.
Elkton Democrat.

How will the farmers get along with wheat at
ninety cents at thirty five and oats at thir-
ty, with two men working eight hours apiece for
a days work? Will the hired man starve or the
farmer, or both? And what will the world do
without the farmers?

The Lynchers Failed to Get Him.-Two
weeks ago The UNION published an account of an
attempted telonious assault by brutal young
negro named Henry Davis, upon Miss Elizabeth
Welsh. who lives with her sister and aged father,
near Black Horse, Hartford county, just over re
Baltimore county line. Davis was arrested by
citizens and lodged in the Belair Jail the same day
and threats of lynching were then made, but were
not carried out. 1t seems, however, that the at
tempted crime of the wretch was not forgotten for
on Monday night last, between IL and l o'clock,
party of twenty or thirty men suddenly appear
ed at the Jail in Beair and made a demand on
Sheriff Carman for Davis, saying that they had
come to lynch him. The Sheriff warned the
crowd that he would protect his prisoner at all
hazards and told them if they made an attack
upon the building they would have to take the
consequences. He also told them that the best
thing they could do would be to get to their homes
before any of them were recognized. Deputy
Sheriff Jas. V. White:ord, an old Baltimore coun-
tian and very resolute man, also told the would
be lynchers that if they attempted to enter the
Jail some one would get hurt. The leader urged
his men not to abandon the project and when he
saw that they wavered he charged them with be-
ing towards, &c. This had no effect, the firm
stand taken by the Sheriff and his deputy putting
decided damper upon the crowd, who soon dis
persed leaving Davis safe within the Jail walls.

the entertainment of the staid farmer, while the
young folks of his family can have good time
dancing or indulging in other innocent amuse-
ments, of which there will be no lack. The recol-
lection of the delightful times had under Grange
auspices in this county should be sufficient to at
tract an immense crowd on this occasion, when
all the arrangements will be in the hands of gen.
tlemen the mere mention of whose names will be
sufficient guarantee that everything will be con-
Quoted in such manner as to be pleasing to the
most fastidiOus.

Precautions AGAINST storms.-As the

son of storms is at hand it is right and proper to
observe some precautions against the terrible
electrical manifestations, viz: If overtaken by q
storm when abroad, never take shelter under a
living tree, for if the tree should be struck the
current of electricity will leave the tree and strike
your head, almost to q certainty. recumbent
position is safer in such cases than erect one
lightning strikes the highest objects most gener-
ally. In the house, occupy the middle of the
room away from the walls, bright objects and
those of metallic character, as looking glasses,
&c. Don't sit in draught. The safest place is
on n feather bed.

How Hands May be Kept Soft and White.

How Hands May be Kept Soft and White.
Good Housekeeping.
woman whose pretty hands are being ruined
by washing in hard water writes to ask remedy.
Water can be easily softened with few drops of
ammonia, or what is better, small piece of lump
borax. Warm water, into which enough borax
has been dissolved to make the water feel little
slippery when pressed between the thumb and
finger, is very good for washing the hands Hands
kept dirty never smooth and white. Absolute
cleanliness is necessary. Many people who do
not work wash their hands but seldom. The
days accumulation Of dirt is allowed to remain
on the hands all night Upon rising the hands
are washed in cold water. The possessor Won
ders why, when she does no work, her hands do
not look any better, if as well, her chamber
maids. The hands should always be washed in
warm soap suds before going to bed. White
soaps are safest. Highly scented and colored
soaps almost invariably made from rancid
and i-smelling fats. After the hands are thor
oughy dried, use a few drops of mixed gycerine
and camphor, which the druggist prepare for
you Drop into the palm of the hand and rub on
the hands. This will be all that will be necessary
to show decided improvement.

Best Seasons for Planting.-The Americ

Best Seasons for Planting american
Agriculturist says GLOW late we sow or
plant with reasonable prospect of getting a
crop, depends very much on the season, and some
what on the character of the soil. We can plant
early variety Of potatoes as late as the middle
of June. But you will, as rule, get far better
crop if planted in May. L have had good corn
planted the first week in june Rutabagas have
done we'll sown the 4th of July. Mangold wur-
zels will produce moderate crop sown any time
in June, but if you want big crop, sow in May.
I have had very profitable crop of beans plant
ed the middle of June. But of course we plant
earlier if we can get time to do the work. We
plant with drill in rows thirty inches apart, and
drop about six beans in hills fifteen inches apart
in the row. The quantity of seed required per
depends on the size of the beans. The white
Boston Marrow beans require bushel per acre
Pea beans, three pecks per acre. If you drill in
the seed right along the row, dropping the beans
about an inch apart, you require about twice the
quantity of seed. Some of our bean growers
think they get enough larger crops to more than
pay for the extra seed, and for the extra work in
pulling the crop"
