Docs have Deen costly to Hiram w.
McColley-whose handsome farm is
contiguous to Milford - by killing
poultry. Out of flock of firty-two
young turkeys only four remain, and
even the old birds were among the
killed. His guineas shared the same
fate, and if self-preservatiOn is an un-
written law, Mr. McColley owes 1t to
himself to kill every dog that tres
passes on his property. Every dog
kept in the town should pay license,
aud its owner be made responsible for
all damage done by it. Dogs have
well nigh made sheep raising impossi-
BILE, and now that they have attacked
the poultry business, it is high time
that some method to break up this

GOOD Y IELD. - Samuel Argne, of
Slaughter Neck has threshed and mar
keted his crop of wheat for 1SSS,and it
proved eminently satisfa ctory to him
self and his landlOrd-COl. G. s. Wat
son. He last fail prepared ten acres
of ground aud seeded it with Fultz
wheat; using 400 pounds of Simpsons
phOsp hate to the acre, and sowing one
and a-half bushels to each acre. From
this was harvested and threshed 800
bushels-machine measure-an aver
age of thirty.twO bushels per acre.
Mr.. ArgO Immediately sold his crop to
NJ. ii. Davis & Son, roller process mill
ers, who have turned the wheat into
-four, and report the berries as grind
ing in good shape. This wheat-if
criterion indicates that the crop IN
this section is satisfactory. as fifty
eight bushels Of il, by weighing gained
two bushels and thirty-four pounds.
THERE is "a marked lack of courtesy
on the part of street vendors and drivers
of supply wagons in Milford, and in
stead of a painstaking care to please
patrons, they seem to deem their
service a great favor TO their CUSTOM
ers. Parties who have complained Of
the imperfect delivery service to mer-
chants, have been curlly informed
that "they would know when to de-
pend on the delivery Of their pur-
chases if they would carry them home
from the stores, as had been the GUS
tom before the Introduction OF the
Yankee notion, that merchant was
public servant" The merchant
who is not prepared to be public
servant had better put up his shut
ters. The innovation of what ouI
friend terms Yankee notions, Is what
must be expected in this age Of pro-
gress aud competition, and the man
who recognizes the demand first and
aecedes to it most fully will reap the
benefit. The careless indifference o.
venders has been frequently remarked
Yesterday morning a wagon was a.
the junction ola main and cross stree
when four women appeared in from
of different houses ON the cross stree
and beckOned the vender to come tina
way. Two OF the women had babiei
in their arms, but the salesman yelled
TO them "if you want anything, come
here" aud as they didn't come he los

AT its last regular session, the Town
Council of Milford served notice on
the Chief of Police that on aud after
August lst, his services would be no
longer required by the town. The
main cause for dissatisfaction appears
to be not so much with what was done
AS with what was not done. The mis-
sion of police is to maintain Order,and
not to do missionary work with drunk
and disorderly peOple-a course which
our police force did not appreciate.

Ten Years Y0unaer.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "For years, was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown OF my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out q new growth. 1
could hardly trust my senses when 1
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and 1 am delighted. I look ten
years younger"
A similar result attended the use Of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
H. Bedloe, OF Burlington, VT, Mrs. J. J.
Burton, of Bangor, Ne, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to inn
purity Of the blood or arrangement Of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
a course Of Ayers Sarsaparilla or Of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
VigOr, may be necessary to give health
and tone TO all the functions Of the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none Of these
remedies can do much good without
a persevering trial and strict attention
to eleanly and temperate habits.

Disease Germs in the Air.

Recent experiments by Dr. Percy F. Frank
land, described before the English Society Of
Arts, show the following number of micro
scopic organisms found in a given quantity Of
air in different localities:
Top Of Primrose hill, Q; bottom Of Prim-
rosa hill, "a; top Of Norwich cathedral spire
600 feet, 4; at the bottom, IS; Golden gal
lery Of ST Paul's cathedral, IL; in the church.
yard beneath, 40; in Kensington gardens, 1S;
Hyde park, As; Exhibition road, 554; in the
chemical laboratory of Science institution,
50; in the room Of meeting Of the Royal so
ciety near the close Of the session, 49,.
In third class railway carriage containing
four persons, soon after starting, the number
Of organisms that were falling on one square
foot per minute was 395 Soon after this the
carriage was filed, containing ten persons,
after which it was found that the number
falling per square foot per minute was 8, 120.
Alta distance from land Of ninety sea miles
the average Of the experiments gave one
organism in twenty-six lters; when the dis
lance from land was 100 miles it was one in
ninety-three hters Out of twelve expert
ments made at minimum distance Of 120 sea
miles In eleven the air was absolutely germ
free, 50 that it would appear that the maxi
mum distance to which, under ordinary cir
cunlstances, micro-organisns can be trans
ported across the sea is about 120 sea miles.

it. II had known he was going sooner

More Lean Meat Than Fat.

There is decided tendency among
our more progressive breeders to
build up breeds of hogs and cattle
with more lean meat than tat. This
movement has been brought about
in part by the growing objections of
consumers to so much fat, especially
where pork is concerned, and the
waste entailed. In feeding with
view to the production of more lean
meat, close pens and large rations
of corn have given place to a run for
hogs in day time, with a warm shell
ter for the night, and a varied ration
in which corn forms but small
part.

Plants Peculiar to Certain Soils.

DR.. R. W. Raymond lately called attention
so the reputed connection between certain
plants and the metals in the underlying SOIL
times regarded as distinct species under the
name of Viola calaminaria-points out the
hills containing calamine, or zinc ore, in
Rhenish Prussia and Belgium. The lead
plant, Amorpha canescens, is believed by
American miners TO grow only in localities
containing galens, and Eriogonum ovalifo-
ium is probably destined to be known in the
west as the silver plank-ArkansawT Traveller.

Protecting Half Hardy Plants.

Many half hardy plants, which
are LETT in the ground and are de-
stroyed by the severity OF our win
tiers, might be saved by covering the
plant with a fairly deep coating of
ashes, which may be raked over the
soil and dug in when spring comes.
Wood ashes also form an excellent
manure for the plants, and spread
over lawns produce beneficial effects.
In dressing lawn with ashes it is
best done when wet weather is likely
to follow. After berg spread on
the lawn ought to be rolled. The
result will be strong, close growth
Of fresh grass for the ensuing sea-
son.

The Kicking Cow.

Take half inch or three-eighths
rope, double it, pass it around the
body Of the COW forward of the I'D
der, bringing the ends through the
loop, draw tight and make fast with
a slip knot, and the cow will not
kick, says a friend of Mr. Coburn's
Indicator, because she can't arch
her back. a COW does not kick
unless she gets her back up.

Scaly Legs in Fowls.

Examine your fowls and see if
they are not afflicted with this So
called disease. 1t may be detected
by rough, scaly eXcrescence which
generally appears on the shank, Just
above the foot, and spreads if al
lowed to run till it reaches to the
hook joint and down into the toes.
At first the shank viii have mealy
appearance, and as the substance
collects it gradually hardens till it
becomes of bony nature and great
ly affects the health, though disease
may not be suspected by those UNI
used to its ravages. The disease is
caused by an insect which is identi-
cal with the insect causing itch in
the human family, and if filth is not
its prime cause it is greatly aggrav-
ated thereby, and cure may be
effected by rubbing the parts with
an ointment made by mixing equal
parts Of sulphur, lard and kerosene.
