A Remarkable Memory.

A new star has arisen in Atlanta. lie
is called Happy Jack, but his real name
is }. r. Nelligan. He was formerly a
railroader, but is now known as the
lightning memorizer from the Atlanta
Journal He has a wonderful memory,
especially as to figures. He will look at
your watch and see the number, and
three or four months afterward, should
you meet him, he will tell you without
hesitation the number of the timepiece,
having kept it stored away in his brain.
He can stand on the corner and give you
the numbers of scores of mems watches
as he sees them pass, having looked at
their watches months ago. He can re-
member figures after seeing them once,
even if they run up into the trillions OF
quadrilions.

Farm and Garden Notes

Whenever the work of the farm will
permit, it will pay to plow up a good
patch for turnips.
The man who raises colts cannot afford
to have slow-walking or an ill-tempered
horse on his farm.
Keep hoes, spades, forks, etc., in the
oat bin. The oats prevent their becom-
ing damp and rusty.
Putting the chicken coops under the
plum and cherry trees is killing three
birds with one stone.
The cyclone lasts for but moment,
and you may build after it; but extraya-
gance stops only at the grave.
Fine, silky hair on an animal indi-
Gates that it will fatten readily, while
coarse, stiff hair indicates the reverse.
Paris green and all poisons used about
the farm or house should be plainly labled
poison, and kept out of childreA's reach.
1t is said that you can break hens of
the habit of egg eating by giving them
several feeds Of old bacon cut up in small
bits.
Don't sell off the best stock it should
be picked out and kept upon the farm.
1t is very poor economy to follow any
other plan.
Covers for the hen and her brood to
roost in should be made rat proof and
covered securely to keep out rain. Covers
should be fastened down so they can't
blow off
As soon now as you can spare the old
hens fatten them for market. They will

in that time they will eat as much as they
are worth.
All birds that feather out early are
hard to raise, and only extra attention of
the right kind will save a large percent
age of them. The severe drain upon
the system of the little chicks in feath-
ering is the cause of this.
Woodchucks annoying in field and
garden were exterminated by placing at

which had been cut two-thirds through
and Paris green inserted in the crevice.

Eggs Save a Valuable Life.

A Bear Brook farmer near Danbury,
Conn, is the owner of a nerd of pedi-
gree cattle, and a year ago calf was
born of particularly choice stock. For
some reason the calf refused to take
milk, and could not be taught 10 drink.
An ingenious Danbury man day or two
afterward, learning of the fact, bought
the calf for seventy.fi cents. He took
it home and PLACID in the call's mouth an
egg, and then with hands on its avs
forcioly shut them. This broke the egg
and the animal swallowed the contents,
excepting the shell, which the owner
careful Y removed. This course Of treat
ment was keT up for several days and
the calf thriyed, and after a time learned
to drink milk and oat meal mash. From
that time the animal grew, and now, at
a little over year old, is valued at $50,
and even that sum cannot buy it.-Neu

1t seems that the women of England are in
bad way as regards drink. DR.. Imlach has
informed the British Medical Association
that women drink to excess as much as men,
and that in Liverpool it is the wives who
drink The use of opium, chloral, and other
narcotics is much more prevalent among
women than among men Women, however,
have a better excuse for their excesses than
the other sex. They drink as rule, he
cause they have some worrying ailment and
keep on until the habit is settled upon them
With narcotics the beginning of the abuse is
generally traceable, says DIR. lnlach, to
medical prescriptions. Miss Broadbent, the
well known missionary of the Church
Temperance Society, gives the interesting
fact that though women often drink heavily,
the most confirmed drunkards among them
are seldom attacked with delrium tremens
She declares that she has not seen n single
instance of this disease among women dur
ing the last twelve months, although she has
visited many cases of drinking women.-

Barley for Late Fall Feed

A writer in the Mirror and Fdrn1er
gives his experience with barley as fol-
lows:
l sowed two bushels of barley on 1870
rods of ground, which had just grown. a
crop of oats, on August 13, 1857, and
seeded it with timothy at the same time.
1t grew well, and during the latter part
of Octob er, when almost everything else
was sere and brown, it was pretty and
refreshn 6 sight, as beautiful as a field of
wheat in June and a wonder to nearly
all who passed by, and l was often
amused to see old farmers leave their
wagons and get over the fence to ex-
anime it, ana were not satisfied even then
without consulting me. To nearly all
it was reve tation to learn that barley
would stand such heavy frosts and still
keep green, and some thought it must be
a new variety of Manitaba frost proof
wheat which they had read about. 1t
was sown at just the right time for
October feed, but would have held green
better in November if it had been sown
three or four days later. To bear frosts

the plant and that is all used up when
the plant produces seed. Our first heavy,
