were good. The tank is much larger,
deeper, and more watery than
last season, the tramp is more

The production is greatly improved in

Cheating the Slot Machine.

The man who would deliberately
cheat confiding and helpless slot ma
chine deserves the reprobation Of man
kind. Yet this cowardly variety of
swindler exists. He approaches the un-
suspecting machine with its smiling
slot waiting for him and into that inno-
cent slot he drops piece Of lead of the
weight and shape of penny. Instantly
the machine yields up its cigar, its bot
tie OF perfume or whatever else may be
its stock in trade, and congratulates
itself on the briskness of business. The
other day the proprietor of one of these
machines unlocked its treasury, only to
find it full! of pieces of lead. 1t had
been the victim of wretch with several
pounds of lead, and had nearly worn
itself out by the rapidity with which it
satisfied his demands. Clearly the slot
machine is too good and innocent for
this world, and unless it can be taught
to discriminate between lead and lawful
money its usefulness is over.-Paris

A GOPHER TRAP.

deep, which is dug around the land to
be protected. The ditch must, of course,
be wider than the cans. Gophers travel
at night, and, on trying to come into
the inclosure, tumble into the ditch and
run along until they drop into the cans.
A smoker" or sulphur gun" is some
times used. This is sort of rude
pump made of two pieces of stovepipe,
for forcing the fumes of sulphur into
the gopher's hole. Bisulphide of carbon
is also used. A piece of cotton half the
size of ones fist is saturated with the
liquid and thrust into the burrow as
far as possible, the opening being care
fully stopped. This should be done
when the ground is damp. We are also
told Of an ingenious trap for catching
jack rabbits. A piece of ground about
fifteer feet square in locality infested
by rabbits, is surrounded by board
fence high enough to prevent their
jumping over. On one side a plank
runs from the ground, with an easy
slope, to the top of the pen, and pro-
jects foot over the inclosure. Above
the projecting end, and just far enough
in front of it to cause the animal to
reach, lose his balance, and fall int to the
pen, is hung some tempting bait. A
little bait is scattered along outside the
pen and along the plank to attract the
rabbits

FARM AND GARDEN.
DAIRY MISTAKES,
Some Things That Dairymen Ought
In

Some Things That Dairymen Ought Not
to Do.
The disheartening prices of 1890 for
butter and cheese will very likely
have demoralizing effect upon farm
ers engaged in this branch of farming
Let me urge you all. says writer in
the Ohio Farmer, not to show the
white feather for moment or lose your
grip at all. 1t will be better business
in the near future. Now is the time to
review the work and see where mis-
takes have been made. Twill point you
to one or more things to consider.
think it is very bad policy to let a
veal calf suck dairy COW five or six
weeks and have all the milk in April or
May, to make a three to four dollar
veal carcass. You might just as we'll
make from seventy-fve cents to one dol
lar,per week of butter from the same
milk and iced the skim milk to the
calf, slightly warmed, and when eight to
ten weeks old it will then bring more
money than the veal calf does at from
four to six weeks old, and you come out
from five to eight dollars per head
better, for the reason that cows will
give more milk right along if the
calves are never allowed to suck them
at all after the milk is good.
This advantage, together with the eX-
ira butter made, will amount to fully
that sum. Farmers that send milk to
cheese factories are the most apt to
commit this blunder. If butter COM
mands the very low price it does to-day
eight cents per pound-and l am buy
ing hundreds of pounds of it from mer-
chants at that price this week-it is far
better for the farmer to buy some good,
large, clean, pork barrels and fill them
with a good strong brine about one
third full, and as fast as they make the
butter not let it be exposed to the air
at all, but make it into rolls and wrap
1T in thin, cheap cotton cloth, SO the
rolls will not stick together and put
them into this brine and keep a fol-
lower with stone weights on to press
it down under the brine all the time,
and your butter will keep in the best
condition from early spring to winter
Packing in crooks or wooden tubs can
never be made to do as we'll as the above
plan. You can then hold your butter
safely until the hot weather prices are
over and get more money for it later
on. If it is ever made fit to eat it will
be good for many months. These bar
rels should be placed in some good, cool
place and as free as possible from any
unnecessary stinks. The butter will
not absorb any too much salt from the
brine. This reform is possible for every
family to observe, and especially where
they keep only one or two COWS; if they
will manage the business as above
stated they can keep up their own sup
ply of butter and not feel forced to sell
cheap in hot weather and pay dear for
it in winter months.

RYE FOR STOCK,
Ii 1t, or Is 1t Not, a Proper Food for
Breeding Animals?

Breeding Animals?
Breeders of all kinds of stock are civ.
ing more and more attention to the ele-
ments of food as shown by analyses.
Inc grains possessing large proper
tlon OF the constituents desired at any
particular period of growth are noted
we'll by progressive men. While feed
| ing for growth and for the block is an
important question, it is more impor-
tant to know how to feed young stoth
intended for breeding purposes. OF
| late, much interest has been aroused by
the claims of intelligent men in regard
to rye grain Tor meal) for young stock.
While rye is highly priced for furnish
ing variety in the food of fattening
| hogs as we'll as part ration for work
horses, there is, occasionally, a man
who feels confident that rye grain is
dangerous in any form to feed breeding
| stock. just now the young things on
the farm are taking to the oats, ETC.,
and it is serious question with all who
have rye whether this grain should be
kept away from all except those not in
tended for breeding.
The editor of this department is in
doubt on this point, while entertaining
grave respect for the opinions of those
who oppose the use of this grain in such
cases. The presence of ergot may at
times affect females after conception;
| but ergot is found in all of the grains to
greater or less extent. So on this ac-
count the rye is not necessarily the
| primo cause. To have broader grounds
for conclusion we invite brief expe-
| rlences from our readers who have had
| five years or more experience with this
grain and breeding stock. Publication
| of the names of writer's will be with
held when requested, and only an alb
stract of the opinion of any one is like
ly to be used. Any one, therefore, who
has conviction for or against the use
of this article of food for breeding
stock, will confer favor by writing it
in as few words as possible, giving also,
in brief, his theory for the faith ex-
pressed. We are willing to be convinced
| to the contrary, but will state our be-
lief that the rye itself is not hostile to
fertility in any animal. If fed in ex-
| cesslve quantity it may, in view of its
richness, affect the provocative organs.
The same result may follow the use of
corn, wheat, beans, peas, etc. In such
cases, however, the fault is with the
excessive use and not with any insid-
ious quality in the grain. All must ad-
nit the richness of this article of food,
and the boys and men about the barn
must know that a much smaller part Of
| rye is to be used than of the ordinary
grain. Now, for other practical expe-
| riences. s.-Orange Judd Farmer

Gopher Trap.

Mr.. F. L. Washburn, the entomolo-
gist of the Oregon experiment station,
writes to the Rural New Yorker that
the trap shown herewith has proved very
successful in catching gophers in
California. In the last bulletin issued
from the Oregon station a good deal is
said about killing gophers. The pic
ture needs no explanation. The trap is
set at the bottom of the gopher's hole.
1t is doubtful if he knows "what struck
him. after the trap springs. Another
method is to sink five-gallon oil cans
about one hundred feet apart in a ditch

LAST SLAVE VOYAGE.

Cargo of Slaves.

The Shipping. Slowing and Feeding of q
Cargo of Slaves.
During the embarkation l was en-
gagged separating those negroes who did
not appear robust, or who had received
some trifing injury in getting on deck,
and sending them to an improvised hos
pital made by bulk-heading a space in
the rear of the forecastle. The others,
as they arrived, were slowed away by
the Spanish mate; so that when all were
aboard there was just room for each to
lie upon one side. AS no one knew
what proportion the men were, all were
herded together. The next morning
the separation took place; the women
and girls were all sent on deck. and
numbered about four hundred. Then a
close bulkhead was built across the ship
and other hunks constructed. The wo-
men were sent below, and enough men
sent up to enable the carpenter to have
room to construct additional hunks. A
more docile and easily managed lot of
creatures can not be imagined. No vio-
lence of any kind was necessary; it was
SOhcblIiCo W blclu
stand what was wanted; but as soon as
they comprehended immediate compli-
ance followed.
The negroes were now sent on deck in
groups of eight and squatted around a
large wooden platter, heaping full of
cooked rice, beans and pork cut into
small cubes. The platters were made
by cutting off the head of -four or other
barrels, leaving about four inches of
the slaves. Each negro was given a
wooden spoon, which all on board had
amused themselves in making during
our forty-day trip. Barrel slaves were
sawed into lengths of eight inches, split
into other pieces one and half inches
wide, and then shaped into spoon with
our pocket-knives. 1t was surprising
what good spoons could be made in that
manner. A piece of rope yarn tied to
spoon and hung around the neck was
the way in which every individual re-
tained his property. There not being
room on deck for the entire cargo to
feed at one time, platters were sent be-
tween decks, so that all ate at one hour,
three times daily. Casks of water were
placed in convenient places, and an
abundant supply furnished day and
night.-George Howe, NJ. D., in Scribner.

Filling Up Nall Holes.

The following method of filling up
nail holes in wood is not only simple,
but said to be effectual. Take fine saw
dust and mix into thick paste with
glue, pound it into the hole, and when
dry it will make the wood as good as
new. Frank Christian, Jr., in Stove
and Hardware, says he has followed
this plan for thirty years with unvary-
ing success in repairing bellows, which
is the most severe test known. Often
by frequent attachment of new leather
to old bellows frames, the wood be-
Scmes so perforated that there is no
space to drive the nails, and even if
there was, the remaining holes would
allow the air to escape. Glue and saw
lust paste do the work, while lead,
putty and other remedies often fail.

Too long
deluded - the unhappy victim Of
catarrh in the head. He's been
told that it can't be cured. Don't
you believe it. 1t can be, and it
is-no matter how bad or of how
long standing. It has been done
for thousands-by DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. Other SO called
remedies may paziate for time ;
this cures for all time. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it conquers the worst
cases. Its makers offer, in good
faith, reward of $500 for a case
of catarrh which they cannot cure.
They are able to pay it. Are you
able to take it?
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath ; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once. Thousands of cases termi-
nate in Consumption and end in the
grave, without ever having mani
tested all these symptoms. DR..
Sage's Remedy cures the worst
cases. SO cents, by druggists.
