HINTS FOR FARMERS.

CULTIvAToRs of early potatoes frequently lose by digging the crop too early. If left in the ground a week longer, they would have made two barrels for one and have brought three times the price.
 WHERE the hay crop is short plat of land should be devoted to 8 corn-fodder crop. Sow the seed thickly in the rows, and cut just when the corn begins to silk. Let 1t cure in the ordinary manner and store it under shelter.
 WELLS should be ventilated, as the water is thereby kept fresh and free from bad odor The absorption of air by water ren- ders it pleasanter to the taste, and purifes it to some extent; but the effect IS not 8 very marked one.
 CONTAGIOUS and malignant footrot occurs In sheep and is consequence of neglected ordi nary footrot. The purulent matter gathers under the horn and burrows in the vascular parts of the foot until it reaches the bones, which become ulcerated In time the foot is so much diseased and destroyed that 1t drops of, leaving the stump of tho limb bare, when the sheep hide and die mis- erably.
 No OTHER bedding will prevent the ma nurial accumulation from adhering to the hair of domestic animals so effectually as clean sand. A peck of fine sand will read lily absorb and retain half peck of liquid
 
 consideration in favor of sand, namely, the facility with which manurial accuEulations of any stable may be handled and stored without loss.
 IT may take moment more to lay tool up carefully after using, but the time is more than equalzed when you want to use | it again; and so it is time saved. Habits, either good or bad, go long way in thelr | influence on mems lives, and it is far better to establish and firmly maintain good habit, even though that habit has no special bearing on the moral character; yet all hab- 1 it's have their influence.
 SQUASH requires rich soil with plenty of ! well-decayed manure. The manure is plowed in six or eight inches deep and the land is well narrowed. The hills are made six by seven feet apart and shovelful of fine manure and light dusting of Peruvian grass should be given to each hill Three vines are left to grow in the hills. The ground is well worked with the blow while the plants are young. and after that with the cultivator and the hoe. Asa the vines get to be four five feet long the ends are pinched to make the latter shoots grow vigorously. As these are the bearing shoots | this is very important

 CREToNNE of the cheap sort used for dec orating rooms, turns out to be as arseni- cally poisonous as green wallpaper. Out of forty-four samples recently examined in London, none were free from arsenic, three had only faint traces of it, twenty one had large traces, eleven were classed as very bad, and nine were called " distinct ly dangerous" One specimen yielded nine teen and one-half grains of white arsenic to the square yard. The greens and blues were the least harmful, while reds, browns and blacks were heavily loaded with the poison.
 IT may not be known to every one that there is law regulating the making of the American flag. The jaw of 1918 requires that on the Fourth of July following the sd- mission of new State 6 new star shall 1 be added to the blue field of the flag. There are now thirty-eight States in the Union and there should be thirty-eight stars in the field of the flag. Many of the cheap flags have not the requisite number of stars, because it is much easier to have tho stars in rows, with an even number each way, which can not be secured with thirty eight.

Bargains from the sheritf's S sale! we have always found it paid us to sell at reduced prices all goods we have secured at prices lower than the market figures, thus giving you an oppor- tunity to purchase at extremely low prices, and at the same time insuring Us rapid Sale of the stock, and, consequently, a quick return of the money. We would call attention to a line of Towels, Crochet Quilts, Scotch Ginghams, Sateens, Velvets and Silks.

ShERlDAN'S RIDE.

Up from the south at the break of day, Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay, The afirighted air with a shudder bore, Like herald in haste, to the chieftain's door, The terrible grumble, and rumble, and rsar, Telling the battle was on once more, And Sheridan twenty miles away. And wilder still those pillows of war Thundered along the horizons bar, And louder yet into Winchester rolled The roar of that red sea uncontrolled, Making the blood of the listener cold As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray, With Sheridan twenty miles away. But there's a road from Winchester town, A good, broad highway loading down; And there, thro the flash of the morning light A steed as black as the steeds of night Was seen to pass as with eagle flight; As if he knew the terrible need, He stretched away with the utmost speeG; Hills rose and fell-but his heart was ga~e With Sheridan fifteen miles away Under his spurning feet the road Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed, And the landscape flowed away behind, Like an ocean flying before the wind: And tho stecd, like a bark fed with furna7e ire. Swept on with his wild eyes full of flrei But To! he is nearing his hearts desire, He is snufhng tho smoke of the roaring S-ay, With Sheridan only five miles away.
  Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops; What was done-what to do-a glance told him
 both.
 And, striking his spurs, with a terrible oath He dashed down the lines mid storm of hur-
 rahs,
 And the wave of retreat checked its course
 there because
 The sight of the master compelled it to Sause. With foam and With dust the black c>-arger
 was gray;
 By the flash of hls eye md his nostrils' play He seemed to the whole great army to say: "I have brought you Sheridan all the way From Winchester town to save the dayT' Hurrah! hurrah! for Sheridan! Hurrah! hurrnh! for horse and mani And when their statues are placed on hira, Under the dome of the union sky The American soldiers temple of fame There, with the Generals glorious name, Be 1t said, in letters both bold and bright' "Here is the stecd that saved the day Bv carrying Sheridan into the fight From Winchester, twenty miles away" --ThoDdS BuchdnGn ReGd.

on the Ncw-YorlS, Pennsylvania and Ohio Rail-
road. consisting of two sleepcrs and live day

gineers leaving Meadvllc yard in advance Of their
orders They were ordered to leave the yard as
soon as the express arrived They went in adj
vance of its arrival. When Yardmaster Drecker
saw that they were gone he boarded switch en-
CINE and under all steam followed them, but was
unable to overtakc the freight. Fireman Mcfar-
land was on the head freight engine and escaped
without "a scratch, but has idea of how he did
il.
The scene at the wreck is horrible. There are
three engines in a solid jam the track The
baggage car and smoker are smashed to splnters.
The new press car is but slightly injured, though
it ground both baggage and smoker To bits. It's
