A WOMAN'S TRUNK.
The Phenomenal Packing Talents Of
Boston LADY,

Ihe Phenomenai Packing Talents OF a
Boston Lady.
The quantity of things which a wo-
nan with gift for packing can bring
back in one trunk from a summer So
iourn in the country is matter for the
marvel of the country people, the ter
ror OF the baggage-handlers and hack
men, and the delighted admiration of
the reunited home circle. There is one
woman of the Listeners" acquaint-
ance whose packing talents are some
thing phenomenal. Up at East Ephesus,
where she spends her summers, they
have become fully acquainted with her
gifts in this respect, and always send
around two extra hands with the coach
when she gets ready TO take her de-
parture. This year she succeeded in
getting into one rather small trunk not
only all her clothing, except what she
wore, and that of two children,
besides toys, books, magazines, and
customary infantile and material
l.nick-knacks, but long list of such
articles as these: A box of ginger
cookies, such as are only made in YER
mont; ten pounds of super-refined
maple sugar, from Uncle Zedekiah
Johnson's celebrated orchard; ten
quarts of fresh blackberries IN card
board boxes; package of Aunt Gym
tlia's justly-famous jelly rolls; bag
of potatoes, and quantity of priceless
geological specimens gathered by the
Youngest male member of the family.

sojourner brought, of course, a con-

which included, besides the children,

FIVE SUGGESTIONS.

Facts in Farming That Seem to Be En-
titled to Some Consideration.
A horse that would balk and kick
by simply binding him with cloth
for half an hour. At quite long inter-
walls this would have to be repeated. l
have very unruly fellow now that l
can only keep inside an ordinary fence
by fastening a hood over his eyes when
turned out to pasture. | think almost
any baking horse could be made to
pull by simply covering his eyes for a
short time.
2. 1t may not be known to all that
hogs, even sows with pigs, do very
well on good pasture all summer long.
Toward fall in an orchard when apples
begin to drop they will do exceedingly
well with no other food.
8. Many farmers cure hay entirely
too much, thereby damaging it consid-
erably. If moved away with discre-
ton (any unusually damp loads put by
themselves), it can be safely stored
with half the curing often given.
4. When you see the deep green
leaves of fruit tree taking on lighter
shade, look at once for grubs at the
base of the trunk. By probing with
steel wire that will spring every way
and will not stay bent, you can soon
rout these destroyers.
5. Probably not half of the farmers
give lime in any form to their fowls.
Of course the hens manage to lay toll
erably without the direct supply of
lime, but the egg-shells are often very
thin and eggs much fewer than though
the birds had full supply of oyster or
clam shells, which they eat greedily,
showing very plainly their necessity
for the fowls to do their best.-S. M.
Palmer, IN ~ Y. Tribune.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The depth for drilling seed, such
rs wheat, can be regulated on the drill,
and this should be carefully attended
to, in order to avoid getting the seed
in too deep.
The principal advantage in keep
ing careful farm accounts is that they
enable you to determine what products
of the farm are profitable and to dis
continue every thing that does not pay.
Lime broadcasted over the soil is
never wasted. If not appropriated by
one crop it will be taken up by anoth-
er. 1t acts on the soil, and thereby
increases the supply of plant food.
Pecan, walnut, chestnut, butternut
and hickorynut are the most desirable
nut trees for planting. The hickory,
on account of its tap root, is the most
difficult to transplant, but with care
any of these can be transplanted at two
years old.
Land plaster is slightly soluble in
water, and therefore gives immediate
results on the crops that feed largely
on lime, such as clover, beans, peas,
and other legumes. About 100 pounds of
plaster per acre on young clover is
sufficient, and if used in connection
with wood ashes, it is one of the cheap
est fertilizers known for grass crops.
Economy with the corn crop means
that the fodder should be stored under
cover, and not left standing in the
fields, as is often practiced. Good
fodder is valuable and highly relished
by all classes of stock, but it can be in
jured by exposure as easily as hay. No
matter how much care is taken the
shocks will blow over in winter, by
which means a large share of fodder is
ruined by being on the ground. If cat
tie are turned in on it they will trample
a portion also. The barn is the proper
place for it.
Bad poultry management shows
itself in making poultry-houses I'M
suited to the wants of the fowls; it
shows in the buying of poor stock to
save a few paltry dollars; it shows in
keeping old stock beyond their use
fitness; it shows in not raising early
pullets to take the place of old hens;
it shows in not selling off the surplus
stock at the proper season; it shows in
not culling out all faulty birds; it shows
in improper mating of the breeding
fowls, and it shows in not providing
suitable food, etc., for the wants of
this poultry stock.
Farmers don't begin feeding hogs
so early as they should, as rule, says
a correspondent of the Indiana Farmer.
The fall months are the best part of
the year to feed in. The corn is in the
best condition. More pounds of meat
to the bushel, with less labor, can be
made in the fall better than at any
other season. The farmer does not get
the very best of pork who puts off
feeding until corn natures and then
feeds on all dry corn diet. Green food
should be provided as late in the season
as possible. A late planting of ever
green corn comes in and lasts up till
cold weather sets in. For later green
food resort must be had to roots.

THE DIFFERENT RACES.

THERE is q Mohammedan superstition that
snake and a peacock were placed at the
gate of Paradise to give warning of danger
They listened to the voice of Satan and were
doomed to share his punishment.
THE negroes of Brazil not only carry
heavy burdens on their heads, like piano,
but when taking a letter to the post-ofice
will place it on top of their heads and then
put stone on it to keep it in place.
ACCORDING to curious old marriage GUS
tom, still prevalent in Brittany, the bride
groom, Immediately after the priest has
welded the couple, strikes his wife in the

you make me angry" and then, kissing her,
he says: ADD this is how you will fare if
you treat me well.n
A CURIOUS custom that attracts the atten-
ton of strangers in Panama is the spectacle
of native women walking along the street

and talk over affairs while enjoying ;heir

FIJIAN chiefs, according to a recent tray
elcr's tale, employ exclusive hair-dressers,
whose duties are confined TO keeping in
order the employers woolly tresses. But
the male inhabitants of the Marquesas
Islands surpass even these; for there it is
nothing uncommon for the husband to have
his wife's head shaved, and to appropriate
to his own adornment the borrowed locks.
THE Andaman islanders shave almost the
entire surface of the scalp as thoroughly as
the imperfect implements at their command
will allow them. Formerly they used chips
of broken flint for this purpose, but since
the arrival of Europeans upon their islands
they can indulge in the luxury of shave
with piece of broken bottle glass; 1t is
said that a wife takes peculiar pleasure in
shaving the head of her husband.
IT is said of a Bengalese tribe, the Oswals
or Marwar, that while cholera RACES on all
sides of them not one of them has ever
taken the diseases much less succumbed to
it, and they attribute their immunity to
their sanitary rules. According to the
precepts of their religion they never touch
animal food nor spirituous liquors; they
dine early and sup on milk and fruit
Wherever an Oswal goes he never breaks
these rules. 1t is not added, but it is safe
to presume, that measure, at least, of
cleanliness goes with these other relgio-
sanitary ordinances.

Feeding Pigs.

Prof. 7. Hunt, of the Illinois College
Farm, concludes as follows in summing
up the results of his experiments in
feeding pigs:
l. 1t required 1880 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork
when fed with cornmeal in ratio II
to fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be econom-
ically fed to fattening hogs unless it
was waste product which could not be
otherwise utilized.
3. 1t required on an average 44
pounds of shelled corn to produce one
pound of pork during an average
period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced Is! pounds.
4. 1t required A pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound of pork, or
one bushel of corn made into meal and
fed dry produced 124 pounds of pork.
5. When fed dry, shell corn is more
economical than cOrnmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
6. 1t required u pounds, or one
fourth bushel of ground oats to pro-
duce one pound of pork, when fed with
equal parts by weight of cornmeal.
Z. One bushel of corn is worth near
ly three bushels of oats as food for fat
tening hogs.
s. Corn-fed pigs gained about Al
pounds per week, and ate about 81
pounds of corn per 100 pounds of live
weight.
g. The gain for the amount of food
consumed during the fattening.
TO- Pork was produced during the
cold weather, with corn at % cents
per bushel, for less than 3 cents per
pound.
H. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused a very considerable
loss in feeding thereafter.

How to Be a Success in Life.

To belong to a good family is something
to DO grateful for. A start in life of that
sort gives one enlarged advantages and
opportunities. But there are added re-
sponsibilities through belonging to o good
family and having enlarged advantages
and opportunities. In order to be sue
cess in life man must rise above his
starting point To keep on its level is not
enough; he must gain something as the
years go by. If, indeed, a man fails to do
as well as those whom he follows, and
whom he represents, his failure is the
more marked because of the standing
of those from whose measure he has de-
Perforated.

ALWAYS BE MODERATE.
The Evil Effects of Carrying Bodily o.
Mental Work to Excess.

The Evil Effects of Carrying Bodily or
Mental Work to Excess.
There is limit to mental as well as
to bodily exertion; either, carried to
excess, exhausts and wears out the in
dividual. This is one example of the
harmony of action and mental adapta-
ton of all parts of the body.
Every human power and faculty,
properly used, helps to maintain the
health and strength of the whole sys-
TEN; improperly used, it impairs the
power of its own and of all other Or
gans.
Bodily exercise tends to promote
health and strength; but, carried to
excess, it will wear out the power of
renovation, and exhaust the strength
of the most powerful constitution.
Nature seems to point out that bodily
and mental exercise should alternate,
the too exclusive employment of either
being injurious. Where the body has
been overworked, there is neither in
clination nor power for mental exer-
ton, and it is necessary to refresh and
invigorate the system by food and
sleep, in order to restore the exhausted
nervous force.
Where the mind is overtaxed, and
little or no relaxation or exercise is
permitted, the digestive organs soon
give way, and some form of dyspepsia
is engendered. Healthy nutriment is
not supplied; the body grows weak;
and the individul at length becomes
incapable of taking the necessary ex-
ercise to maintain health, N Y
