Lulbegrud Creek.

Boone has recorded in his own
quaint phraseology an incident ofhis
life during this summer which shows
how eagerly such a little band of
frontiersmen read a book and how
real it's character became to their
mind. He was encamped with five
other men on Red river, and they had
with them for their amusement the
History of Samuel Gulliver's travels,
wherein he gave an account of his
young master, Glumderlick, careing
(sic) him on a market day for q
show to town called Lulbegrud.
In the party who, amid such strange
surroundings, read and listened to
Dean Swift's writings was a young
man named Alexander Neely. One
night he came into camp with two
Indians scalps taken from a Shaw
nees' village he had found on a creek
running into the river, and he an
nounced to the circle Of grim wilder
ness veterans that che had been that
day to Lulbegrud and had killed
two Brobdingnags in their capital.""'
To this day the creek by which the
two luckless Shawnees, lost their
livesis known as Lulbegrud creek

Fun With the Old Man.

From Puck.
He was a meek-looking old gentle
man from the country, and as he
took his seat at the dining-room
table the drummers looked at him
over their soup-spoons. They noted
his weather-b beaten face, his wet hair
carefully parted and brushed around
over his ears, and his air Of dimdence
as he enormously fingered his fork; and
when the waiter girl stood at his side
and winked at the boot-and-shoe
man, they were all attention.
"Soup?' she asked.
The old man seemed bit surprised
at the brevity of the bill of fare, and
fidgeted about as though waiting for
her to say something more.
"Would you like some soup?" said
the girl, with a side-glance at the
coffee and-spice man.
81 amt particular about soup, as
I know of" answered the old man.
"BoiP mutt'n capersauce, roas'
beef, rs lamb, RS veal, fricasse
chick'n, cole ham, tongue, chick n
salad, fritters, boil n baked p'ta-
tus,'" said the girl with lightning like
rapiditv.
The old man looked kind of help
less, and the boys felt a little sorry
for him as he kept his eyes fastened
on the fork, which he showed from
side to side with his fingers.
II guess I'll take-I guess you'll
have to say that again. he said,
looking up, and the girl ratified the
the whole thing off in exactly the
same time as before.
The old man looked round the
table and caught sight Of a drummer
winking at the girl; then he ierked
his head around, and looking her
straight in the face, he said:
sYou may gimme s. m bile cornbeet

The girl hesitated, turned red, and
then made a break for the kitchen,
while the drummers laughed and the
old man gazed out of the window at
the gathering clouds.

Agricultural Briefs.

Pigs are large consumers of food as
compared with their weight, but when
penned up for fattening they expend
only small proportion of it in keeping
up animal heat, consequently they in
crease rapidly in flesh and fat. and are
considered economical meat producers.
A liberal top dressing of ashes on an
orchard that is beginning TO fail will
often give satisfactory results. The use
of stable manure is also highly recon-
mended as a stimulaut for old trees.
Flowing the cabbage ground late in
the fall and exposing it more thoroughly
to freezing will kill great many injur-
ious pests.
Cedar and locust each make posts of

IRISH POTATO CULTURE.
From an Essay Read by ID. Morrison Before

From an Essay Read by ID. Morrison Before
the Atlanta, Ga, Horticultural Society.
With other practical suggestions made
on the cultivation of Irish potatoes by
Mr.. Morrison, rs reported by Dixie
Farmer, were the following:
After YOU have decided what variety
you wish to plant, the next thing is how
to plant for best results. Some potato
growers advocate planting one eve, some
two, others three, others a small pota-
to whole; some large potatoes whole;
while others say all you need is to
eat the potatoes and plant the peel
ings. Now, find in this. as iu other
things where doctors differ so widely,
the middle ground is the safest there
fore recommend the selecting of large
and well shaped potatoes having clear
skin, with full eyes that have not been
sprouted; then cut so that each piece has
at least two eyes and part of the heart
or core of the potato. This plan is called
by DIR. Sturtevant the scientific method
Ji cutting seed potatoes: but it is not
new by any means, for it has been prac-
tioed by our people, the Scotch farmers,
for over thirty years, and. they simply
call 1t the common sense way.
In cutting you should use a very thin.
narrow bladed knife. an old table or case
knife that has been ground thin and
sharp will answer. The reason for this
is, that thick backed knife, such as a
pocket knife, causes the potato to crack
across the core or eve roots that extend
from the eye To the center, although YOU
don't readily see them; but by the aid of
II potato that has the core colored. YOU

better when cut a Gay or two before
PLANTING. The cut part becomes dryer
and is more easily handled. Drv wood
ashes sifted over cut seed has also good
effect. Have the drills opened in the
morning and left open during the great
er part of the day, 81 that the soil and
the seed may get warm, which will give
the seed quicker start than they other
wise would get. Plant seed with the
eyes up, in the prepared drills, about
twelve inches apart, and cover lightly
