He appeared to be insane, endeayoring to bite the prisoners, tear the bed clothes and smash things generally. His actions were reported to Judge Dwight Loomis, of the superior court, and he appointed Drs. Dickinson and Rockwell, of Rockville, and Simmons, of Holland, to examine the pris- oner and decide if he was proper subject to be placed in the Middletown insane asylum. The doctors visited the prisoner, and he immediately went into one of his insane fits for their benefit. He bit and tore the bed clothes with his teeth, shaking hls head and acting like an enraged dog. He called for water and after drinking at- tempted to bite and break the glass. The physicians consider it singular case, but were not convinced that he was insane, but inc ined to the belief that he is cunning fellow, and shammlng, with the intention of getting removed to the asylum, instead of the state prison. The doctors will watch the case before they report.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

PARKER says that IN America every one
gets mouthful of education and no one
gets full meal.
SOME men are always looking back to the
time of their conversion instead Of forward
to their duty.
THERE is often room for much courage of
speech-courage not so much to maintain
opinions as to confess ignorance.
FoRTITUDE is the guard and support of the
other virtues; without courage man will
scarcely keep steady to his duty, and fill up
the character Of truly worthy man.
THE love that Is not based on or the out
uncertain time of it. Look around among
your friends, and who SO happy as those
who are friends as well as lovers.
A CERTAIN amount of opposition is great
help to man. Kites rise against the wind
and not with the wind. Even head wind
is better than none. No man ever worked
his passage anywhere in dead calm. Let
no man wax pale, therefore, because of OPP
position; opposition is what he wants and
must have to be good for any thing.
THE friendship that results from living in
the same house or block, which necessarily
entails more or less community of interests,
such as discussing bills-of-fare, past or
future, the latest sweet thing in bonnets, or
how we shall remodel last seasons gown, is
merely the result Of circumstances, and not
friendship at all. Confidence In the sim
cerity of your friend, and conviction that
he is greater than he seems" says writer,
'is the true test Of friendship"

FARM INFORMATION.

HAY will keep better in the NOW without
salt
THE Department of Agriculture estimates
that the area in wheat this year in the
United States is little less than thirty-six
million acres.
HAY cut in bloom is preferable for lambs,
calves and colts. That cut later, though less
palatable, is, because of increased weight,
of greater value as food for older stock.
A SOAKING rain or two On hay and the sub
sequent dryings, will leave but little else
than indigestible, woody fiber, about as
nutritious as so much fence rail or sawdust.
HANDLE clover as little as possible. 1t
cures best in the cock. A good way is to
cut in the afternoon Of one day, let it lie
and wilt till the afternoon of the next then
cock up, doubling the cocks each day till
cured.
A GOOD hay-tedder will often pay for itself
in short time by enabling the farmer to
make his hay with one days handling, in
stead of punching it up at night and open
ing again next day, with the risk Of an ad-
ditional two hours exposure.
THE Iowa farmer objects to giving his
note and having it discounted for cash. The
latest sharper says: 80, we'll keep the
COte,' ana ne writes across the lace mot

the hands of a third party with an &c" added

CORN should not be fed in excessive guam
titles to brood sows and growing pigs. Oats
or barley is considered better as it is more
favorable to the growth of bone and sinew,
while ocrn tends TO the production of fat.
Bran or middlings compares very favorably
with corn and oats as a feed for young pigs
and brood sows. a mixture of one part corn,
one part Of oats, ground and mixed with
two parts of bran and middlings would
make good combination.
THE soft swellings on the point of the
elbow Of .borses are caused by the bruising
of the joint by the shoe when the animal
lies down with the leg folded under him. It.
is due to the natural habit in which the horse
lies, and some horses are never free from
them in the winter when the shoes are
calked- To avoid them use shoes without
heel calks and with sharp groove around
the outside Of the shoe, or use leather
shield strapped over the foot To remove
them apply iodine ointment to the tumor,
removing the shoes meanwhile, and if nee
essary to release the pus in the boil open it
with sharp knife.
