Pcrnioious Winter Seedlings.

There is a kind of winter seeding not
generally entering into the plan of the
average farmer. Winter is in thought
associated with period of rest and COM
parative death in the vegetable world.
The winter wheat lies dormant in its
frozen bed beneath the white blanket of
fallen snow, End the ears of corn selected
for next springs seeding are stored out
of the reach of the mice in the crib. All
meadow and pasture land sleep on until
wakened by the silent quickening Of the
spring. Nevertheless there is a work
going forward through the short days
and nights of the severe months in the
dead of winter. Every gust of wind that
hurries by the street corner and die4
away IN momentary calm; every giant
gale which comes down from the frozen
north aud sweeps whole States with a
bosom of relentless fury, may carry with
it the germs of weeds and deposit them
in some secure place where the spring
sun finds and quickens them into new
life.
All sowings are not confined TO the newly
| narrowed field or the rich and mellow
garden. If it were so, farming and gar
dening would be less serious matter
| than it is. Many seeds like those of
| the dreaded Canada thistle are provided
with light, feathery appendages by
which the ripened seeds take long flights
in the upper air like so many miniature
balloons. Other plants, as the burdock
and beggM's lice, rely for transportation
upon the passing animals to which they
adhere by hooks, thus stealing ride.
Others still are left without any special
structure Tor migration, and must there
fore depend in part upon the favoring
conditions of winter. The various sorts
of tumble weeds break up into a number
of parts, or by a decay OF the main
stem at its union with the soil the whole
plant is set free AMI blown by the wind
where it listeth. There are many weeds
which remain upright with their seed
bearing portion above the fallen snow
and when the smooth crust OF ice form
over all, the seeds, loosened by the ele-
ments, are blown for miles over tn,
frozen surface only to find lodgment il
some ditch, hollow or other place o
safety This helps to explain how mar
velously weeds spring up in cultivated
ground. -AmsrieaR Agricuturist.

1t is quite an object for farmer to

meat has spoiled in barrel so that the

not be enough TO make it safe.
In such cases steaming or smokI

probably a more effective way is to fill

of days, then empty and refill as before.
This is said to be successful. but for my

Credit Side of the Cat Account

! have three large we'll bred and full
fed gelding cats which keep the pre-
misses, consisting of barns, sheds, wood
and poultry houses, grain, hay aud straw

etc., that do notEet sight of either

feline servants brings to me to show he
has done his duty. The black-soil
prairie OF Illinois is easily burrowed into,
and rats make underground passages
any distance with almost the ease of
moles; grain abounds in most fields, the
grass is heavy and long, hedges are COM
mon, and everything favors the multi
pication of the rodents. Without the
three guardians, rats would take the
young chickens, suck eggs, undermine
barns and sheds, gnaw into the corncribs,
eat half the grain and dofle the other
half, burrow into the stacks OF grain, and
make worthless chat of clover and hay.

A Remarkable umhrelln-

Among the many curio collectors in
New York city there is an old gentle
man who declares his umbrella to be his
greatest treasure 1t is his inseparable
companion and accompanies him wher-
ever he goes. The handle is a piece of
the Charter Oak, in which is set small
triangu ar piece of stone clipped from
Plymouth Rock the stick is made from
n branch of the old elm tree at Cam
bridge under which Washington assumed
command of the Colonial armies; the
brass cap on the lower end of the stick
is made from the trimmings of a sword
scabbard once used by General Grant /;
the green covering originally served as
the lining of a coat worn on State occa-
sions by the suaye and couItly Aaron
Burr; the ribs, springs aud other metal
trappings were manufactured from a
small steel cannon captured by the
Americans from the Hessans at the
battle of Brandywine. Eight oblong
pieces of brass have been inserted in as
many sides of the octagonal handle.
They were made from buttons cut from
the military coats of eight Generals
famous in the Revolutionary War. The
owner of this unique umbrella values it
at $500, aud does not believe in keeping
his treasure under lock and key, but
makes free use Of his interesting pos
session.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Amount of Winter Feed.

A COW OF horse will need from twenty
eight to thirty-iive pounds of feed per
day, the amount varying according 10
size of animal and kind of food given
With the best chance for pasturing stock
there will lie nearly or quite two hum
dred days of barnyard or stable feeding
Thirty pounds per day for this time
makes total of 6000 pounds, or three
tons. If all this has to be purchased ID

stock at present prices of feed. With
ordinary stock the farmer can only make
himself whole by feeding it with rough
fodder that would not be readily salable,

kissing Between Women .

There is one joke on women, which ap-
pears in the same column with the mother
in-law and spring bonnet business, which
is justifiable and well aimed This is in
regard to the foolish habit of kissing which
prevails among women. 1t is hard to see
why it is done. If you ask women about
it, one in four will tell you that she does
not like it and would like to drop it, but
that ''they expect it, you know Indeed,
so far has the objection to indiscriminate
kissing among women gone that there are
anti-kissing societies in many places, the
women who belong pledging themselves
not to kiss any woman in public, and, only
those whom they really care for in pri-
vate.

1.H E CITI2EN-
MISCELLANEOUS.
A Very Singular Case.

Natural gas has worked some wonderful
freaks, but the one we are about to relate Is
about as wonderful, if not more so, than
any that has been brought to the notice OF
the public heretofore.
For some time past one of the Oldest
citizens of Beaver Falls, whose name we
have been urgently requested not publish,
has been noticed as gradually shrink
ing away, drying up, as it were, and al
though he preserved all his accustomed
vitality, yet his skin got dry and CLASSY
like parchment his flesh wasted away,
while his weight became hardly that OF
seven year old child. OF late, also, it has
been noticed that when he walks his joints
seem to give way under him, and his whole
frame emits queer, cracking sound like
dried peas in pod.
Recently he submitted to thorough ex-
animation by several well-known physc-
ians, who to their great amazement dis
covered that every joint in the old mans
frame had shrunk from its socket. Not
finger joint, arm or leg joint. rib or toe
Joint but what had shrunk SO fearfully that
in reality the old gent was nothing more or
less than living, animated bag of bones.
What worked the change at first puzzled
the doctors, but upon questioning the
members of the family it was learned that
for several years now, in fact since nat
ural gas was first introduced into Beaver
Falls, the old gentleman has sat day after
day, summer and winter, close up to a
stove, heated always, and often times
brought to a red heat, with natural gas.
The dry heat had worked on him as it will
on the most seasoned wood in furniture,
and has caused his joints to shrink in their
sockets so that they rattle around loosely
and in several parts of his body have fall
en- out entirely.
To make matters worse, the Bridgewater
Gas Co. threaten to bring suit against him
for damages, as they claim that had not
the biggest part of their gas gone towards
drying out the old gent, they would not
have had to lift their youngstown line, or
shut off the factories in this place and New
Brighton, as they have had to do lately.
Should suit be brought, the outcome of it
will be watched with great interest by our
Falls Tribune.

He Gurgles with Delight.

We noticed from our Eastern exchan ges
that some of the popular shades in dress
goods this winter are described as "dra-
gon's blood" elephants BREATH" and a
pale pink called ''stifed sighs."
We just gurgled with delight when we
heard this. because all these colors are so
unique. We were real glad with regular
Pan-Ameriean gladness for the dear girls
for girl.loves to be unique, don't you
know, even if she has to wear it under her
wrapper. A girl dressed in elephants
breath, hung in graceful folds and looped
up and fastened at the corners with stifed
sighs, with corgage of old gold, slashed
with dragons gore, would be just too love-
ly for anything. We have been signing for
just such girl for years, but our sigh had
hardly stife enough in it to match the new
color. We have sent for remnant of
stihed sigh to make necktie of it. 1t ap-
pears to US that elephants breath would be
rather strong for real comfort in the sum-
mer time, especially if the elephant was in
clined to be dissipated. d.-Lassen, Cal. Id
