RICHARD HARRIS,
Died Feb. 13, 1878, of
DELIRIUM TREMENS.
Aged Al years.

Mrs. Richard Harris, widow of the deceased.
ordered the monument made after design of
her own, and placed it at her husbands grave
about two mon tbs after his death.
He was a complete wreck. His wife would not
allow him TO come home, and supported herself
and the two children by sewing Dr. ChaIice
furnished him with food and clothing and
finally, when he was taken sick. brought him to
his house. where he died one bitter winter night.
shriekipg that the devils were carrying him
away. aud that his wife was setting them on
Mrs. Chalice and her mother agreed that what
property Dick had left should be given to hi
widow and children The widow however said
she would only accept enough to get a monu-
ment for him-she could take care OF herself and
the children.
When she bought and set up the shaft with the
snake and the inscription on it all Atchison was
shocked. and Dicks mother and tine Chalces
were wild with shame and indignation. Her
friends tried to persuade her to remove it. but
she refused to listen to them. There was talk
OF legal proceedings to have it taken away as
being libel on the dead but they were never
instituted. and it stands there still For long
time other people were careful to bury their
dead so far away that its horrlble shadow could
not fall upon their graves, and for many years
there was vacant space for several yards around
it. but gradually this feeling wore away. Now
there are graves in most of the adjacent lots
and evergreeps and willows hide from sight the
last resting place OF poor Dick Harris and his
grim memorial stone.

No farmer should rest satisfied until

1t is almost work thrown away to set

Farm and Garden Notes.

Look after the fences occasionally.
A lamb should not be despised be-
cause it is small.
The farmer, not the retailer, should
have the main profit on milk.
Secure a good breed for stock, and
then feed and treat them well.
Let former failures but urge to greater
efforts TO make success certain.
When you feed grain throw it among
litter and let the fowls scratch for it.
A supply of salt should be placed
where cows have access TO it every day.
A little time, little care, will often
give big berries and bigger satisfaction.
The successful farmer cares for the
Titles, and allows nothing to be wasted.
Careless farmers will soon begin to
realize that weedy seed is bad invest
ment.
When you gather the eggs set them 10
the cellar and keep them as cool as pos
sible.
The clematis is a good. hardy peren-
NAL. 1t should be propagated by root
grating
Large imported hyacinth bulbs should
be added to the home stock each year to
strengthen them.
The grain and grass crops will sell to
better advantage if turned into meat,
butter and cheese.

Apple Worm or CodIing Moth.

There is now known but one generally
successful practical means of preventing
the injuries of the codling moth, and
that is spraying with arsenites. The es-
sential point in this method of treatment
is to have small quantity of poison
lodge in the depression in the blossom
end of the apple before it turns down on
its stem, the supposition being that
when the newly Matched cater pillar
gnaws the skin preparatory to entering
the fruit, it will eat sufficient poison to
be killed. This end is best accomplished
by applying the poison in a water spray
by means of force pump and spray noz-
zle, throwing the liquid above the tree so
that it will settle in fine mist This
should be done just after the blossoms
have fallen, when the apples are about
as large as peas. l believe that generally
speaking one application will answer
the purpose very well, unless there is n
washing rain soon afterwards, in which
case the application should be repeated.
l prefer London purple to Paris green,
as it is cheaper, less liable to
scorch the trees, more easily seen
and in finer powder, and hence is more
readily kept in suspension. A safe and
effective proportion is three-fourths of a
pound to eighty or one hundred gallons
of water Paris green may safely be
used in the proportion of one pound to
one hundred gallons of water. The
poison should be formed into Tastc
with little water, before stirring into a
large receptacle. OF course it must be
remembered that these substances are
deadly posons, and all reasonable care
should be taken that no accidents occur
through their use. Protect the hands of
the operator with close fitting gloves,
and apply the spray so that it will not
be breathed by men or horses. Keep
stock out of the orchard for some time
after the application is made, and do not
spill the poison in quantity on the
ground where it will be accessible to au-
imals of any kind. Always keep the
poison itself in tight vessels, plainly la
beled "poison. and out of the reach OF
children. No danger need be feared from
eating mature apples that were poisoned
when the size of peas, for chemical
analysis has shown that the extremely
small amount of poison that lodges on
the fruit is dissipated long before it ma
tures.-Nuo York O5Serrer.
