Men Don't Smoke in the Rain.

There is no person in New York upon

pressing influence than the retail cigar
dealer. One of them said to me that sue
cession of rainy days made him blue, be
cause his sales fell off so. You don't care
to go along the street smoking" said he,
when one hand is holding your umbrella
and when every wind makes your cigar
sputter" And l remembered that I did
not fancy smoking in the rain, especially
when the wind was blowing the drops in
my face, despite the umbrella.-Epoch.

summer Care of Poultry.

1t ought not to be supposed that fowls
need no special care in summer, for in
this season the young are subject to many
diseases which older ones are able to re-
sist. Besides this, insects of all kinds
abound at this time, of which the fowls
have their full s'rare, and against such
they should have all the protection pos
sible. Cleanliness in their surroundings
is the important thing, and the best pre-
ventive not only of diseases but of in
sects as well. The hen house and roost-
ing places should not only be kept clean,
but should be made untenantable by
fowl vermin by tie use of insecticides.
Of these kerosene is one of the very best,
and from its very low price it may be
used in the most liberal manner, either
pure or as an emulsion. If used to kill
lice on fowls themselves it should be
highly diluted and applied sparingly,
and on little chicks not at all. By greas-
ing the older ones little with lard I'M
der the wing and on the head, and fur
nishing them with a good place where
they can waIlow and dust at will, they
will soon rid themselves of lice if their
runs and roosts are not infested.

A New Milking Machine.

Another milking machine has been
introduced, this time in Scotland. Brief
" described this machine is an evolution
Of the idea embodied in the bell and sue
ton tube found in every druggists shop
for drawing the milk from a woman's
breast. An iron section tube is fitted all
round the byre and above the COWS, and
from this an india rubber tube descends
to the vessel into which the milk is to be
drawn. A belt is hung over the cows
back, and from this belt the close vessel
into which the milk is to be drawn is
suspended. Four separate india rubber
tubes about foot and half long termi.
nate in this vessel, and at the other end
they have tin necks which go on to the
separate teats of the COW. They do not
grasp the teats, but fix themselves by the
force of the suction to the udder at the
root of the teats. The suction force is
supplied by a force pump erected in a
corner of the byre, which can be easily
managed by boy. The lid of the closed
vessel is of glass, so that the milkmaid
can see at glance that the four differ
ent streams of milk from the different
teats are coming all right, and this glass
cover is also held on by the suction, and
as soon as the suction force is switched
off the glass lid can be lifted off and the
tubes withdrawn from the teats.

To Meet Her lover,

At 5 80 in the morning a well dressed
young woman arrived in Utica from
Castle Garden. She had come all the
way from a place in western Russia,
and was on her way to meet her lover
in Duluth, Mimi, who had left her
two years before to find a home for
both of them in the New World. He
went to Duluth and became fairly
prosperous. As soon as he was able he
wrote to his sweetheart and urged her
to come to him, but the age and sick
ness of her parents kept her in Russia
until this year. Both her parents
having died, the young man sent her
tickets to bring her to America, with
what he supposed was sufficient money
for the journey. The young woman
began her journey more than
month ago, and when she arrived at
Castle Garden thought she must be
within a few hours journey of her
friend. She came on to Utica, as
stated, and was taken to the Central
depot, whence she was to proceed ON
her journey by another train
She waited about the depot all day,
and at night in broken German told
Leonard Pruey, the baggage master,
that she had not had anything to eat
all day, and had only twenty cents in
her purse. When she had recited the
whole story, and Mr.. Pruey told her
that instead of a few hours she would
yet have several days of travel, her
distress was pitiful. The kind hearted
baggageman promised to do all he
could for her, and began his ministra-
tons by giving her square meal. He
then interested himself in lettering her
financial condition, and told Conductor
John Unser, of the Rome, WATERFOWL
and Ogdensburg, about it. Mr.. Unser
was bound north with his train and
made no promises, but early the next
morning when he came to Utica again
he gave Mr.. Pruey purse of money
which he had collected ON his train to
help the girl on her way She finally
left Utica, after delay of about TWEEN
ty-four hours, with big bag of provi-
sions and many good wishes.-Utica

Horse Breeding.

The Western Agriculturist has the
following to say ON horse breeding:
Breed for special class of horses. No
half way draft horse is large enough to
bring the best prices, besides we have
millions of little, cheap scrubs and cheap
trotters that can be bought cheaper than
you can raise them You can sell pair
of good draft horses and buy half a
dozen of them, so we cannot afford to
use the heavy draft team to hack around
with, but a farmer who has a fine team
of 1000 or 1 800 pound grade draft horses
takes commendable pride in driving
them to town occasionally and have the
dealers offer him 800 or $500 for them.
Then, too, they can haul load that is a
load and they can run big sulkey
pillow just as deep as you want it. A
pair of such mares is fortune to any
farmer to work and to raise more colts of
the same kind.

MARKETING HONEY IN THE COMB.

Honey in the comb is fancy article,
q luxury for which the consumer will
pay good price only when presented in
neat and attractive form. 1t is essential
to the producer that fair price be OBJ
tanned, for comb honey costs him more
than does theextracted article. Accord
ing to estimates made by apiarists of ex-
perience, it costs all the way from five
to eight cents per pound to produce ex-
tracted honey, and from about 5even to
thirteen cents to produce honey in the

lent size and labelling it with the kind of
bloom which produced it and the pro-
ducer's name and address.
G.. M. Doolittle says: Comb honey in
boxes ought to be taken from the hive as
soon after it is finished as possible. If
allowed to stay in the hive for weeks
after it has been sealed over, permitting
the bees to give it dirty yellow color,
it will not obtain the highest market
price" There will be cells next to the
box that are partly filed with honey, but
not sealed over, and when taken from
the hive if the box is turned sidewise, the
honey being thin, will run out. Thomas
q. Newman names as the remedy for
this small, warm room. Bees evapo-
rate their honey by heat, and therefore
if we keep our honey in good condition
for market we must keep it as the bees
do. in such position that it will grow
thicker instead of thinner all the while.
The market demands comb honey in
single comb boxes or sections. These are
cheap, and with their use one gets honey

Snakes at scrapeskiIIet.

Near Scrapeskillet, Ind, the swamp
lands are so infested with snakes as to
be positively dangerous for travellers.
Friday, while a farmer and his wife
were driving in wagon, they met
three large snakes in the road, which
not only refused to turn out to one
side of the road, but showed fight
They were finally beaten off by the
farmer after considerable trouble with
his mules, which were almost crazed
with fright
On the same day a physician from
Yankeetown, driving in a road cart,
was confronted by a number of snakes
in the road at the same place. His
horse became frightened and ran away,
leaving him at their mercy, and but for
the timely assistance of passers by he
would have doubtless been bitten to
death As it was he had a severe tus-
sic. The people of the neighborhood

pose of exterminating the reptiles

The Irish Brigade was famous for it's he

June 80. when the line of battle fire de-

Kearny had a division in the center at
Glendale, where the fighting was terrible,
and about shutdown, when the Pennsylvania
reserves had been cut up, fresh Confeder-
ates were coming on and the Union re-
serves had all been drawn in, he began to
call for more help. Regiments were prom
ised where division, a corps was needed.
On Kearny's right lay one division, Slo-
GUMS Sixth corps), fighting, it is true, but
holding it's own. Word came to us from
time to time of the situation at Glendale,
and we knew that the gallant Phil Kearny
was battling with his usual fire. The Jer-
sey brigade was with us and lay on the
front line in the center, my own brigade
being support to the division batteries
Suddenly we were called into line and
marched rapidly to the front, and when
we drew near the outposts the Jerseys
dashed by at double quick, going toward
the rear. They were in high spirits, how
ever, and when we called ont, What does
this mean, comradesf" they answered
proudly: "Kearny sent for us. We are go

The prominence of the beekeeping in
dustry is not generally recognized, from
tbe fact that it is almost everywhere
carried on as an incident of general agrl-
cn1ture. Every state and territory re-
ports bees and more or less honey, usu-
ally hive or a few colonies for each
farmer, with occasionally an extensive
apairy and large production. In some
localities, as in portions of New York,
Ohio. Tennessee and California, where
existing conditions are particularly IA
vorable, agriculture is more prominent.
The aggregate value of the annual
honey and wax product is large, much
larger than that of other crops of which
more notice is usually taken. In the
last annual report of the secretary of
agriculture we are told that it almost
EQUALS the value of the rice or hop crop,
falls but little short of the buckwheat
product. exceeds the value of our cane
Inolasses and of both maple sirup and
sugar. 1t largely exceeds the aggregate
value of all our vegetable fbers except
ing cotton, and in 1879 was half as large
as the wine product of the year. The
latest official record of production by
states is the return of the National CEN
sus for 1879. 1t places the honey pro-
duction at 25, TAB ,2OS pounds, and wax at
1,1O5, $3.50 pounds, making the aggregate
value over $6,000,000. An excellent au-
thority places the number of colonies of
bees in the United States in 1881 at g.
900, 900, and the honey product for that
year at &c, 900, 800 pounds, the cash value
of the years honey crop exceeding $780,
100000. Commenting on these figures
Professor Cook thinks we may safely
add as much more as the value of the
increase of colonies, and we have grand
total of $60,O00,0O0, nearly enough to
pay the interest on the national debt
