"If you have a friend let him consult

enable them to resist the effects of alter
nate freezing and thawing. Young plants
In the summer are comparatively tender
| and sappy, and much more easily injured
than when more mature. If taken out
of hard ground the roots may be bruised or
broken, and If exposed to the sun or wind
for even few minutes, many of the fine
hair roots Will be DESTROYED For this rea-
son 1t Is not best to take up plants In a
very dry time. 1t is better to let them
grow where they are until rain moistens
the soil so that all the roots may be lifted
without injury.
The later the work is done the closer
should plants be to each other so that they
may FILL the row with roots and shade the
surface with their leaves. If set II inches
apart In the row In July, 10 inches will be
enough In August, In September, and
6 in October. The sun should never be al
lowed to shine on bare ground between
plants In the row or during theswinter or
early spring The soil for fall-set plants
should be rich so that their roots may find
what they need near by. for they have not
time to 60 far after it, 1t is well to prepare
the place week or two In advance, so as
to let the ground get settled And it is
very important that the crown of the plant
be not covered. If the weather be dry and
hot after planting, so that the plants wilt,
they should get one good watering in the
evening, and the soil should be stirred the
next morning If this proves insufficient,
they should either have some shade during
the heat of the day, or the first leaves that
wilt should be removed, to lessen the evap-
Grating surface.
If it is desired to test new variety, the
fall is the best time to plant it, for the rea
son that it will bear the next season and en-
able one to decide as to its value, and give
ample time to greatly increase the stock.
Fall-set plants must be protected during
the winter Two inches of straw viii
answer. Of course the drainage should be
such that the water can lie on or near the
surface Our method of taking up small
lots or plants is to drop each one in pail
of water as it is dug, and carry them to
shed where they are trimmed Large lots
are put in wet sack. When plants are
received in dry time, it is an excellent
plan to plant them temporarily two or
three inches apart in mellow soil where
they can be shaded and watered. In few
days new roots will be formed, when, after
thorough watering, they may be removed
with the soil adhering and set without
any check.

A Horse Commits Suicide.

Cases of animal suicide, though rare,
are by no means unprecedented, several
cases being on record of dogs and horses
drowning themselves. 1t has never pre-
viously been discovered that the higher
animals would select painful mode of
death till curious incident occurred In this
city. says a Buffalo disp tch. ''Dick'' is,
or was. valuable delivery and carriage
horse belonging to John Reardon, prom
inent Buffalo, coal-dealer, whose yard and
barn extended back from AZ Fulton street.
In the rear of his barn is a paddock con-
tanning about an acre of ground and here
''Dick" was turned out to Craze. He was
closely clipped, besides having his tail
docked, and the flies bit intolerably.
Finally he seemed to become literally In
sane with the stings inflicted By his tor
mentors, and going to bit Of picket fence
extending out into the pasture from one
end of the barn, he sprang high into the
air and alighted on the sharp spikes. He
then made no effort to extricate himself,
but sank down bleeding to death in five
minutes. Half dozen men saw the whole
affair and unite in pronouncing it as a
clear case of suicide as ever known.

Value of the Sunflower.
Mail and Express.

One of the Western stock journals had
a good deal to say about the usefulness of
the sunhower, and especially recommends
its cultivation in dry sterile parts of the
country. As producer of good quality
of painters oil it is scarcely inferior to
linseed. and will be found useful In that
respect, especially by furniture makers and
wagon builders After the oil has been
passed out, the refuse or ''scrape cake as
it is called, makes very good winter feed
for hogs or cattle, as the chemistry of ma
ture extracts from the pulp such elements
of nutrition as the ingenuity of man IS
powerless to reach. In some portions OF
illinois. where the ground has become
somewhat impoverished by incessant plant
ing of wheat (which is always a very ex-
haustive crop), the farmers have cultivated
sunfowers to good advantage, and found
them nearly as profitable as wheat.
It takes nearly five bushels of seed to
make a gallon of oil, worth from 81 80 to
S1.70, according to quality. The differ
ence between the genuine linseed oil and
the sunfower oil can be readily told after
woodwork has been painted with either
If it be flaxseed oil. the color will be free
from gloss and pure dead white, while
the sunhower oil will have something of a
lustre.
The heads and stalks make good fuel,
and would more than suffice to make steam
for factory to press out the oil. Nothing
would be suffered to go to waste in the
rigid economy of such an enterprise. We
should soon be producing large quantities
of good bacon, lard and other necessary
pork products ourselves, instead of import
ing them from Iowa at the east and
Oregon on the west. We should also be
inaugurating more diversified system of
farming, and speedily become emancipated
from the commercial tyranny which COM
pels man to raise but one article wheat,
and then be obliged to ship that halfway
round the world to find market for it.
The ''big sunfower. that mods and bends
to the breezes. might be made to assist IN
alleviating this load and especially in
yielding crop from comparatively bar
rem lands that will produce nothing else.
Will some of our readers experiment with
its cultivation. and kindly send us a mem
orandum of its results.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
VERSES FOR THE KITCHEN.

Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on
In dressing salad, mind this law
With two hard yolks Use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve;
And picked mushrooms too observe.
Roast pork, sans apple sauce, past doubt,
Is Hamlet with the Prince left out.
Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over.
Broil lightly your breakfast;-to fry it
Argues contempt OF Christian diet
To roast Spring chicken is to spoil en-
just split EN- down the back and brou EN-.
1t gives true epicures the vapours
To see boiled mutton minus capers.
The cook deserves d hearty cutting,
Who serves roast fowls with tasteless stuffng
Smells require egg and biscuit powder;
Don't put tat pork IN your veal choWder
Egg sauce-few make it right, alasl
Is good with bluetish, or with bass.

And still have lots of things to say.

The New Departure in Utah.

1t can not. of course, be truthfully said
that the recent Gentle victory IN the mu-
nicipal election in Salt Lake City, marks
the downfall of the Mormon domination
in the territory. Such a claim, if serious
" made. would be misleading and extrav-
agant. Notwithstanding the disfranchise-
ment which the Edmunds law decreed, and
the great and steadily broadening stream
of Gentle immigration which is flowing
into Utah, the Mormon party Is still large

didate for congress in 1888, obtained near
" three times as many votes as his antago-
mist. and all but six or seven members of

Polygamy, if practiced at all, is practiced
so secretly that its votaries have kept out
of the clutches of the law till recently. 1t
still remains, however, one of the cardi-

Character in Finger Nails.

Fortune telling by means of the finger
nails, omychomancy, as it was called, was
not uncommon in ancient times, says a
writer in Medical Classics. The practice
was to rub the nails with oil and sooth or
wax and to hold up the nails thus prepar-
ed against the sun, and upon the trans
parent horny substance were supposed to
appear figures or characters which gave
the answer required. In more recent times
people have been found predicting by
means of the nails of the hand, and telling
the disposition of persons with certain
descriptions of nails
A person with broad nails is supposed
to be of gentle nature, timid and bashful.
Those whose nails grow into the flesh at
the points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bespeaks misfor-
tune. Persons with very pale nails are
subject to much infrmity of the flesh, and
persecution by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome. Lovers Of knowledge and
liberal sentiment have round nails. In
dolent people have generally feshy nails
Small nails indicate littleness of mind
obstinancy and conceit. Melancholy per-
sons are distinguished by their pale or
lead-colored nails; and choleric, martial
men. delighting in war, have red and
spotted nails

A Confederate CoIoners Bluff.

Just after the war there was a crowd of
us in the billiard-room of hotel one even
ING, says a New York Sun writer, and
among the ''touchy'' southerners was a Col.
Gray of the Tennessee troops. He was
said to be duelist, dead shot, fearless
man, and all that, and was therefore held
in awe. Among those present was long,
lean, typical Yankee who had come down
to smell our cotton. He looked humble
and harmless. and had been hustled around
a good deal without losing his temper.
By some accident in moving about he
bumped the colonel and the latter prompt
" wheeled round on him with:
Sir, you are as clumsy as an OK.
Don t git riled kurnel; l didn't mean
to. was the reply.
1t was a good time to bluff and the colonel
drew himselfu up and replied:
Then apologize, sir-apologize at oncel''

Christian and Mohamedan Civilization.

The gin trade is associated In the minds
of the African natives with the Christian,
as the slave trade is in ours with the Mo-
hamedan. 1t is that which, under our wise
British rule, soonestri rises to brisk trade and
is most profitable to the trader British
rule is, indeed, largely supported by it.
The warehouses along the coast are filed
with it, the very air seems to reek with the
vile stuff, and every hut is redolent with
its poisonous fumes. If you go outside
such towns as Sierra Leone, which from
tiny Conservatives of civilized growths
artifciaIly kept alive, you will not see the
slightest evidence that the natives have
been influenced for good by such trading
relations as we permit our merchants to
have with them. Quite the opposite, in
fact Thanks to our system of administra-
ton, our celibacy in dealing with the
rights and liberties of our 'black breth-
rem" and our drastic Encouragement of
legitimate trade, the country is sinking to
moral and physical perdition. The re-
sources of the country remain undeveloped,
and the land is uncultivated. Sunk in
brutality and vice, without their parallel
in the interior, the people will not work
beyond what is necessary to supply them
selves with the wherewithal to satisfy their
cravings for drink. Before this all con-
quering appetite, the only one fostered on
the coast, they have sunk deeper and deeper
into the sloughs of their natural and ac-
quired depravity. Our West African set
