A couple who appeared to have walked

asked what was the matter.
"She's kicking up rumpus, replied the
man.

Ii Worked Both Ways.

Col Mosby relates the following amusing
incident, which occurred In the cavalry
fight in the Shenandoah Valley in 1854:
'1n the midst of n sharp cavalry engage
nent with Sheridan's men in charge near
Berryville, there came riding into our lines
like whrlwind Yankee soldier ON a
black horse.
"A score of men tried TO stop horse and
rider but tho old blacks blood was up, and
he went on clear through our lines before
he was under control. The rider was sent
To Libby Prison, and We mustered the
black charger into the Confederate ser
vice.
"A few days later We charged some Of
Casters men, and that old horse was rid
den into the engagement by one of our
soldiers The old black evened up things,
too, for he carried his rider irso tho FEEDER.

FUNGUS DISEASES.

"A nearly all the diseases OF vegetables
are due to living organisms csllsd fungi,
something In regard to them will not be
out of place. Many valuable experiments
have been made in order to determine the
nature and characteristics Of the various
forms OF fungi which prey on both the lT-
ing and dead plants, chief among which
are those Of Professor Humphrey, OF the
Massachusetts, Experiment station, who
describes the difference between plants
and fungi by stating that plants perform
their various functions by distinct organs
such IS leaves, roots, eto., while fungi per
form their functions with the whole plant
body, which needs NO variety Of organs.
The plant body Of fungi consists Of nu
msrous simple, branching white threads.
which spread over or through the sub
stances On which the growth IL made.
These threads are known ~ the nsvcsliam
Of the fungus. No flowers are prodacsd
by fungi. but they are propAsAtsd by
spores, which are produced on rspsoduc
tive threads, and are 30 small and light
they can be carried any distance BY winds
or insects. To prevent the spread Of fungi,
therefore, the work must nsver 10 delayed,
but commence with the opening the sea
son. The use Of compounds destructive TO
fungi and its spores should really bsgin be
fore any signs Of attack can be noticed, es-
pecially If the vegetables were attacked
the year previous. 1t seems possible,
however, that plants may be fortified
against attack by vigorous growth, Undue
cd by the use Of fertilizers, which may In
troduce into the plants substances which
render them less susceptible to the in6u-
ences of the fungi, or, rather, render the
plant less congsnial as soil for the
growth of the spores.
Why the fungi do not exist indspsndsnt-
ly is because they cannot elaborate thsir
own food material, and must subsiat on
plants. as plants, through ths agency Of
the leaves, roots. etc, provide the food de-
sired by the fungi The available sources
Of supply fall under two heads-the living
organism and tho dead organic matter
hence certain kinds Of fungi subsist on liv-
ing plants and others on dead matter. The
latter belong to tho class Of mOlds. toad
stools and auch like. The others I'VE Oh
the growing plants. and rob thsm Of sub
stance and vitality. They are classed -
parasites There are various forms OF fun
gi, many Of which confns their opsrations
to certain varieties Of plants, and the mil.
dews come under this class. Though
closely related, the mildsw Of the lettuce
does not attack tho onion, owing to ths
remote relationship Of the plants attacked.
Farmers should study the fungi and make
themselves acquainted with the nsturs Of
each kind. II they are unable to elasaily
tho fungi they can 1t least experiment with
remedies and modes Of cultivation not
only for the purpose Of lssssnins The rav-
ages but eIterminate the parasite.

The reports of the several experiment
stations are always promptly sent to any
farmers desiring them. As they contain
the results of experiments they tupart val.
uable information
Experiments show that any portion Of
the seed from al ear of corn may be used
for planting. and that there Ia no advan.
tages possessed by the butt seed over the
tip seed nor il the middle saei better than
that from the butts ur tips.
When crossing for improvement of the
stock the male should always be pure
bred When graded male Is used the
tendency is to retari improvement. 1t
requires but two or three seasons To effect Z
marked improvement on the farm stock If
careful consideration be given the selection
of males

dairymen succeed only by giving tha bust
ness close attention and study. Each in
dividual anima requires particular man
agement, and success depends upon faith
ful observance OF every requirement.
Too much land means taxes ON that
from which only partial crops can be oh
tanned 1t is the small plots, well mauur
ed, that yield the profitable crops. 1t is
more expensive to attempt to secure large
yields from tract requiring q portion of
the time to be los. in travelling over il
than to concentrate all the labor ON small
area.
Rye straw, unbroken, sells better in
market than that which is broken; but for
bedding ON the farm, it is better to cut 1t,
as it can then be easier handled when add
ed to the manure heap. The fnsness of
oil material entering into the manure heap
is important, as it promotes more rapid
decomposition and saves labor in handling
the manure in the spring.
There are inferior animals among all
breeds. Records are made by individuals
that cannot be approached by other ami
mals of the same breed Improvement,
therefore, has q wide field before 1t, and
no farmer should be satisfied with simply
grading his stock by slight improvement
tor few seasons, but aim to reach the
highest possible limit to be attained He
may not reach it, but he will be amply
reeompensed in the increased capacity of
his stock and the greater value obtained.
A pasture will not provide food without
renewal any more than the feed trough.
Keeping herd on the pasture year after
year will exhaust 1t just - surely a. the
feed is exhausted In the barn. Every
ounce of milk carried from the pasture to
the barn is 30 much loss Of plant food from
the soil. After the COWS are stabbed for
the winter liberal dressing Of manure or
fertilizer should be applied 10 the pasture,
which will not only protect the grass but
increase the supply Of psstarsgs next sea

chase price was 81, 500. In thirty days
the work of converting the site into a
National G.. A. r. park will
be begun. The money for this
purpose has already been con-
tributed hy @. A. r. men in Georgia
and elsewhere. The site will be sur
rounded by hundred-foot driveway and
8 wide avenue will lead TO the railroad
station. walks, drives, fountains and
beds OF aowers and rare shrubs and ber-
ries will be plentiful, and in the center
on an elevation will be erected an elegant
club house for the use OF Nom bers Of
the G. A. r. and their guests Each
point OF special interest will be marked
by a suitable monument or building.
and at Providence Spring a large am
phitheater will be erected for the hold

The close friend OF Mr.. Psrnsll who

ty as a Radical revenge for his
support OF the royal grants last
summer, says that this view OF the case
can DO supported by documentary evil

Irish party, If resolved into its elements,
would have no cohesion. Mr.. Gladstone
he says, has had his revenge on the man

who later compelled the Liberal leader
to consider the demands of the Irish

this he implores the people to rise and

Parnell remains at the head OF

Of saving the cause OF Ireland. The
Irish party, he says, contains more than
