A big snake story comes from
Mount Holly, in Berkeley county, s.
c.. A party of negroes were cutting
upon lightwood log Of large cir.
cumference and great length, when
it suddenly began to move slowly of
toward creek about ten feet distant.
The negroes were stricken with ter
ror, and they at once dropped their
axes and stampeded. DR.. Byrd, in
charge of the hands, tried to recall
them, but they continued in their
fight without even once looking
back. In the meantime the log was
moving steadily toward the creek.
AS it fell into the water, the source
of its power of .locomotion was re-
vealed in most astounding man.
ner. Hundreds of kissing serpents
leaped forth from their hiding place
in the log, and darted in different
directions in the water.

The.snakes were of the genuine
water moccassin species, varying in
length from that of . buggy spoke
to hoe handle. DR.. Byrd and 9TH

depart, and their going consumed
fully thirty minutes. Three Of tho
negroes who fed whom tho log began
to move have not since been heard

Salt ought at all times to enter
into the food of tho dairy COW, says
tho South African Agriculturist, and
it should be kept where she can
partake of it in any quantity desir-
cd. Salt enters largely into the
mineral elements of milk, and a.
these elements are in scanty pro.
portion in young grass, it is there
fore most needed in the spring and
early part of summer. Both the
quantity and quality Of milk are
considerably affected by Withholding
salt until the COW gets hungry for it.
Cows in full milk require moro salt
than at other times, and those which
give the most milk require the most
salt. In some experiments Il was
found by letting COWS used to get
ting salt go without it for i1e days
that they fell of in their milk two

Get together everything you will
need before you begin canning. Lay
an old newspaper on the kitchen Ia
bic to protect it from any tomato
juice or cement that may be spilled,
and set the cans on this paper. l
have discovered that you can boil
tomatoes perfectly we'll in iron din
ner pots washed free. from grease,
and this plan saves you q world Of
securing which the use offs brass
kettle would necessitate, as tomatoes
turn brass green. When the toma-
toes come TO boil, dip them up with
a tin dipper and pour them into the
cans. Have at hand a lot of soft,
clean old rags to wipe the rim Of the
tin can perfectly dry, after filling 1T.
Icannot insist too strenuously on
the importance of having this rim
bone dry; one drop Of moisture on
it will cause the cement to fall off
in few days, and the contents of
the can to consequently ferment. :
The general direction given above
for canning tomatoes will apply in
all essential particulars to any fruit
or vegetable. The main thing, as
we have saidsabove, is to put up the
article boiling hot, fill the vessel
brim-full, and makeit perfectly air
tight. The same cans may be used
for several years, if you will have
them we'll washed and dried imme-
diately after emptying them, and
scour any stains that may appear on
them. Put them away promptly till
the next season. Ii you leave them
out they will get battered, stained
and lost. Fit the right top on each
one, as you put it away. There is
a surprising diversity in the size of
tops and no canned article will keep
unless top fits perfectly. The same
cement, too, may be used for several
years,if it is carefully put away. See
that you have sound cans before you
begin to can. | have known house
keepers to lose weeks of labor by:
not testing this point beforehand.
Set your cans on perfectly dry ta-
BILE and fill them with water, before
you attempt to fill them with fruit

The Art or Canning.


There are three essential points
in canning. First, the fruit or veg
etablcs must be boiling hot when
put up; secondly, the vessel must be
filled to the very brim, leaving no
Interval for tho air; thirdly, the ves-
sci must be sealed up perfectly air
tight. If you fulfill all these condi-
tions, the canned article will be sure
to keep.
A nice way to can fruit in jars is
to put the fruit in the jars as soon as
you have peeled it, adding a little
water. Then put several jars in a
large baking pan or dish pan on top
of ihe stove, partly filled with cold
water, and leave the jars in this yes.
sci till the fruit gradually comes to
a boil, the vessel slowly getting hot
at the same time, and of course the
fruit will shrink as 1t gets hot and
require to be replenished, so you
will have to use the fruit out of one
j.r to fiji up the others. When it
has reached the boiling point, screw
up the jars, first filling them to the
very brim. and for three days fol-
lowing repeat the screwing Of the
tops, as you can never screw them
really tight the first time. If there
is no sign of fermentation on the
fourth day, you may feel pretty Sc
cure ofits keeping. If you cannot
command dark place for your glass
jars, tie layers ofbrown paper around
them to keep out of the sunlight.
Nothing is more convenient than
canned fruit to a country house,
keeper when unexpected visitors ar
rive just before dinner. This will
relieve her of all trouble and per-
plexity about the dessert, as it will
enable her to have nice impromptu
one on few minutes notice; and it
will be doubly nice, if she can sup
plement it with cream, delicacy
which most country house-keepers
can command.
think it is a good plan for
house-keeper to can little every
day, instead of going at it with a
rush, every now and then. When
ever you have gallon of tomatoes
more than you need for table use, it
is we'll to begin canning; directly
after breakfast, or after dinner is the
best time-the former if you have
only few to can. In this case, put

detect whether they leak or not, and
if they do, you can either have them

Last week letter was received by
the Humane Society here, stating that
one AioDzo Miller, of Atwater, was
i'll treating his children, and Henry
Lewis. an officer of the Society. was
sent there to make Investigations. He
called at Miller's residence and con-
versed with the family for about two
hours before revealing his identity.
Returning to this city, w. Is Krake. a
member of the Society, made the nee.
essary affidavit for Miller's arrest,
charging him with cruelty to his little
son. In obediance to The writ, { Ulcer
Lewis arrested Miller and broug lat him
before Mayor HOlcomb, accompanied
by the boy whose ill treatment was
alleged. The little fellow was stripped
for examination and great, cruel welts
were found covering the entire length
OF his legs and lower portion of his
body, enough being revealed to show
a shameful abuse of parental authority
If the blows wnre inflicted by the
father, about which all doubt was re
moved by the man pleading guilty
His Honor promptly fined him $50
and costs, amounting to $57 60 and
sentenced him to sixty days in the
Workhouse. Tt seems Miller is an
honest, industrious man, but is pos
sessed of a violent temper, over which
he cannot, or does not, exercise any
control, and the objects of his wrath
are visited with furious physical vio-
lence, not excepting even his own lit
tie children. During the investiga
tiOn the father cried like a child and
evinced great sorrow for his inhuman
| treatment of his little boy, and some
time after sentence had been pro.
nounced, the Mayor was induced to
confine the penalty to the payment OF
fine and costs, suspending the impris
onment clause during good behavior
II was made to appear that the mans
family wonld suffer if deprived of his
support during that time and that his
presence was necessary on his farm. to
secure the growing crops and perform
other essential work and under these
considerations, reinforced by request
from the Humane Society to thus nit
igate the sentence, who declared, how
ever, that the culprit richly deserved
its full extent, the Mayor reduced the
sentence as above stated.

Correspondence.
Never till this season have the farmers had
realizing sense of the English Sparrow pest
For some reason the wheat fields have been
attacked by the little feathered rascal, and great
image has been done to many fields. and the
question, how to- get;rid of the pest, or curtail
his increase, is being agitated, We would sug-
gest poison of some kind, which could, in the
winter season when other birds were around,
be administered without danger. Perhaps some
other reader of.the PRESS can investigate IL e
little cuss and suggest the poison.
One correspondent of the PRESS has called
the attention of the farming community to the
Canada Thistle danger in a most commendable
manner, and he is deserving of the thanks of
the whole community. Fifty years ago, there
was one small patch of Canada thistles in this
township, and great care taken to keep
them from spreading. Cutting several times
year prevented seeding. and it was supposed
that liberal sailing and herding sheep in the lot
so as to keep them few down close to the ground
would in time exterminate them, but all to no
purpose. That patch has been exterminated,
