FOR RURAL READERS.

A GOOD crop of both corn and weeds can
not be grown on the same ground at the
same tune, rightly says an exchange.
EVERY farmer should keep bees to take
care of the honey seoreted in the millions OF
flowers blooming in his orchard, meadow,
glade and glen.
ONE rod of fence on farm beyond real
need Is tax wholly unnecessary, but null
tiplied by a hundred, or a thousand. 1t be-
comes burdensome, or even ruinous.
THE young farmer who thinks he can ca
rouse safely about half the night after
working full day in the field, and take no
harm from it, will not be young man long.
EGGS should be put away, as soon as they
are gathered in hot weather, in cool, dry
place. They will keep much better than if
left in warm apartment for even short
time.
If part of the hen-yard is spaded up and
a few handfuls of oats sprinkled on the
freshly-spaded ground, it will make good
scratching for the fowls, besides furnishing
them a bite of green food from the sprout-
ing grain.
A SUCCESSFUL fruit-grower attributes his
success with plums TO thorough culture,
and having his trees in hen-yard. The
thorough culture keeps the trees thrifty,
and the hens take care of the curculio.
FARMING can not be learned alone from
books and newspapers. 1t is necessary TO
take hold of the farm implements with both
hands, that practical knowledge be at
tanned, and then it will require years TO
learn it thoroughly, with good assurance
of success.
A BRIEF description of Kansas mans
chinch-bug fence may prove of interest TO
farmers who fear damage by the pest He
takes strip of flooring and sets 1t in the
ground with the groove up. In the groove
he puts candle wlcking and saturates it
with coal oil The chinch bug crawls OF in
disgust when he climbs on this side and
gets a sniff at IT,
IT is important when corn is small. says
the American C,iltirutor, to draw the earth
away from rather than towards the plant.
The fair presumption is, If the seed has
been dropped in deep check made by
marker, that the roots are deep enough.
Corn loves warmth, and too much soil over
them keeps the roots too cold.
AN orchard that Is at the same time the
poultry-yard, viii produce one hundred per
cent more fruit Of better quality, than one
receiving the ordinary culture OF the aver
age farmer. The constant scratching about
the roots, the gobbling up of ali the insects,
the constant droppinGs which the rains
make soluble, and the continual supply, Is
marked by dark green verdure and large,
fair fruit; the large runs make the fowls
healthier and the egg product greater.
A NEAT and attractive Imp shade is made
thus; Take piece Of light pink satin, the
size desired, and haste On it, a short dis
tance from the top, some white Oriental
lace. Work the heavy figures in the lacs
over and over in old-style embroidery
stitch with various colored silks. Cut the
satin at the bottom TO match the scallops Of
the lace, and turn under and hem neatly.
Run hem al the top for drawing string
to make 1T ct the shade. Fasten around the
bottom tiny silk tassels the color Of silks
used. Have the lace deep enough to cone
lust below the bottom Of the shada

PIEERISY CERED.

E. E. Dudley, Kingston, Ontario, says:
Six years ago | canght a severe cold
standing in an ice house with my coat off.
1 felt myself getting chilly and went to the
house where l shook for half an hour and
then had a high feber and terrible pain
in my side and through my lungs. put
an Allcock' S Porous Plaster on my back
and ON the front of my chest, and in a
short time the pain decreased and / fell
asleep, and did not wake until the next
morning, when Twas again quite as well as
ever. In telling my doctor about it he said
l had been attacked with pleurisy and,
possibly, pneumonia.

CAPT. wOODsoN on THE SITUATION.

Captain Woodson, of the Fifth cavalry,
stationed anywhere in boomer land, ar
rived yesterday. The captain is in good
spirits. although he will very soon loose
his job looking for Skittish and at
the same tim PERSISTENT boomers.
In short conversation yester-
day he stated that the troops
were at last able to persuade most Of the
boomers out of Oklahoma. In answer to
the question if the opening proclamation
did not have more to do in getting the
boomers out of that country than the
soldiers he seemed little disposed to de-
preciate in any manner the ability
of the soldiers to do such
work and seemed to think that most of
the credit, if not all of it, due to the vigil
liant work of the troops. The late scheme
of not allowing any one co leave the train
while in that country he said, would be in
full force ana effect until high noon on the
end inst.
The captain will remain in the city few
days attending to business matters.

Health and happiness go hand in
hand, the possession Of both being
necessary to the full enjoyment of
life. Rheumatism and Neuralgia have
baffied the best doctors to such an
extent that they have been regarded
incurable diseases until ATH-LO-
PHO-ROS was discovered. This great
remedy is recognized as the only
medicine which cures both these ter
rible diseases, and over three thou
sand testimonials can be seen at their
Office. The worst cases of Neuralgia

The author of "Iugbans and Tails" tells
how the Cinnamon at home keep warm. We
put wooden floors in the rooms of our houses
for others to walk on as well as ourselves,
we even carpet them to make walking on
them more pleasant, and in winter time we
provide a fire, which is intended to warm the
whole room and all who are in it. A China
man renders himself independent of floors
and carpets He puts Il two inch sole on his
shoe, and thus makes sure of having a piece
of floor under his own feet. In winter time
be piles garment over garment upon his own
back, slips little fur lined cases over his ears
and envelops his head and neck in a mon
strous hood.
If driven by cold to the use of fuel, he does
not light a fire for the sake of the family at
large, but puts his redhot charcoal balls into
the metal vessels he uses as a foot stool and
into the smaller one which he carries in his
capacIous sleeves for the warming OF his
hands OF course the rest of the family can
do the same.
a Chmaman, naturally portly, is a sight in
the cold season. while little child, clad in
his winter clothes, becomes a most comical
object. He cannot get his arms down to his
side-they stick out horizontally; and should
he fall he is incapable Of getting up again,
and must lie where he falls until some passer
by thinks it worth while to pick him up.

THE FIRST OYSTER EATER.

Seeing the beautiful cream colored layers
that shone within the shelly covering, and
fancying the interior of the shell to be beauti-
full, the man lifted up the "native" for further
investigation, inserting his finger and thumb
within the shell. The oyster, thinking, no
doubt, that this was meant as a further in
suit, snapped its pearly doors close down
upon the finger of the intruder, causing him
some little pain. After releasing his pinched
finger, the man very naturally put 1t into his
mouth.
"Delightful!" exclaimed he. "What is
thism and again he sucked his thumb. Then
the truth flashed upon him that he had found
a new delight He took up a stone and
forced open tho doors Of the oyster, and gin
gerly tried piece of the fish itself. Delicious
was the result; and so, there and then, with
no other condiment than the juice of the oys-
ter, did that homeless solitary man make the
first oyster conquest
A very long time ago. indeed! He must
have been a prehistoric savage, a cave man,
that enterprlsing discoverer, and he must
have lived when the mammoth and the woolly
rhinoceros roamed over the country now
called England-for oyster shells are found
in the relics of primitive forests and in the
refuse heaps left behind them by the earliest
inhabitants of Europe. Britain was famous
for its oysters in the time of the Romans.

its price formerly varied from 80 cents

it had flooded the market. This variation
In prices led to the use of the porgy pound
which is nothing more than large Enclosure
of water by means of piles and vertical fish
nets The fishermen sell their catches 10 the
pound masters who transfer the fishes still
alive to their pounds and there keep them for
weeks and even months Through this SIM
pie means the price is kept comparatively
uniform during the summer, and both fisher
men and pound masters are enabled to makea
handsome living. In a few cases ingenious
pound owners feed the porgies with CLAIMS,
cohaugs and other natural bait and succeed
in fattening them to so great an extent as to
command an extra = or cents pound
On the streams between New York and
Baltimore, and especially near Philadelphia,
there is "A curious industry followed which
consists in changing "yellow belly catfish" TO
"white belly catfish" Who discovered the
process is unknown. The normal catfish has
yellow belly, IA bad flavor, and is hardly fit
to eat. 1t haunts the mouths of sewers and
all other places where there Is decaylng
organic matter Even under these condi-
tions it is good eating and forms the basis of
the favorite dish, "catiish and wailles. !"
Thanks to some unknown genius, it is caught
in nets and transferred to ponds, where 1t is
fed with yellow corn meal for n fortnight or
longer The result of the process is to change
the color of its belly from yellow to white,
to give new and delicious flavor to the
flesh and to produce an appreciable amount
of fat in its muscular tissues. In this form it
makes one of the most delicious dishes mag
Unable a yellow belly" is hardly salable,
while the metamorphosed white belly"
