THE HAY CROP.
Some Seasonable Hints for Cutting, Curing
and Stacking, Etc.

dome Seasonable Hints for Cutting, Curing
and Stacking, Etc.
There are thousands of tons OF hay
wasted By careless stacking and i'm
proper covering, but tens Of thousands
Of tons are wasted and trampled under
feetby careless and improper feeding. a
little over year ago an Iowa farmer sent
to the Orange Judd Farmer sketch and
description of rack to feed hay, which
was illustrated in its columns Hesays:
I have used such rack for several
years, and I think 1t is the very best l
have used or seen described, and much
superior to the one illustrated in this
journal q few weeks ago, as l know by
actual experience with both. But l
have hit upon what consider better
scheme in feeding hay, and that is
hay-stach rack illustrated herewith).
Build your rack before you stack your
hay. It Is best to build 1t 30 as to make
q fence, where the cattle do not have
access, 10 answer for one side. Then
build your rack on the other side and
ends, according to the size OF stack. ]
have seen some with rack all around,
but think that this Is more costly and
unnecessary.
Place good heavy posts (a) seven feet
long, two and half feet in the ground
and eight or ten feet apart Put short
braces on the inside Of each post (noo

Pompeiian F etc.

Baltimore has in the past presented sum-
mer attractions which have made the city
very popular and drawn thither very many
people from this section. The Oriole Pag-
eants, Trades Displays, Exposition, and the
like have been strong cards in the way of
demonstrating the towns enterprise and lib
erality!
This summer however the city is 10 eclipse
all previous efforts in the shape OF specta-
Gle, as the Pompeiian Fete is unquestionably
to be the biggest outdoor event ever attempt
ed there.
The most extensive preparations are being
made at Pompeiian Park, where space up
ward of six hundred feet each way has been
enclosed and where an amphitheatre is now
going up, capable of seating more than twelve
thousand people. A real lake over three hum
dred feet long and hundred and twenty feet
wide is being excavated, while the represent
tation of the ancient City Of Pompeii will ex-
coed in dimensions the largest blocks of
buildings in Baltimore.
Everything will be upon the very largest
scale, the number Of people taking active
part in the rendition reaching nearly four
hundred.
The fete will commence on the evening of
July End and 18th, and continue thereafter ev-
cry Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday even
ings, until August 9Th. The b. Il o., with its
characteristic liberality in the wav of affcrd-
ing our people every opportunity of witness
ing the splendid things Baltimore gets up ev-
cry summer, will put on tickets at the very
low rate OF one fare for the round trip at ali

A certain West Virginia editor Is
in hiding at present and his
foreman is trying to fix matters up so
that he can come home again without
fear of being pulverized. In writing
up visit to a lady friends house,
he described her elegant collection of
house plants. He wrote it this way 4;
Mrs. B. has the prettiest plants in
town." In making up the letter ''l''
dropped out of the word plants, :"
and the mistake was not discovered
until the paper was run off. The
whole town was in an uproar, and
when the offensive word was pointed
out to the husband he armed himself
with a horswhip and revolver and
went to the printing office with blood
in his eye. The editor saw him com
ing and jumped out of second story
window and started to the woods on
a run that would have shamed a
scalded dog. Editors have their
troubles the same as other people.

instant his little daughter, lying sick
at the house a mile away, was warned
Of his death. King was ploughing in
a field, when cloud came up, and he
drove his team under a tree for shell

tree, killing King and his horses.
Just as the flash of the lightning
which killed him was seen, Kings lit
tie girl, who had been sick with fever
suddenly sprang up in bed, exclaim-
ing, "Papa's dead Papa's dead "
She was so positive he was dead that
some Of the family hurried to the

DON'T FILL UpTH RoADDITCHEs.

In travelling along our public
roads it is noticeable fact that per-
sons, cultivating the lands along
side thereof, frequently throw brush
or other material in the road bitches.
While this is done without a
thought perhaps ofproducing harm
full results, yet harm follows. In
many places along our public roads
a small brush, chunk, or other ma
terial thrown from the farm into the
road ditch, and especially in the
rainy season, will cause the ditch to
fill up and, under heavy rains, over
flow, forcing the water upon the road
bed and cutting gully that will re
quire several hours work by the road
hands to repair.
Furthermore it may make rough
places in the road that impedes trav-
ell. This is direct public injury,
and one that grows out OF a little in
advertance upon the part of the farm
workers while cleaning up their
land by the road side. Sometimes
in this way brush or chunk that
would not require FIVE minutes work
for one hand to place at some spot
on the farm where it would do good,
may cause damage to the public
road that will require dozen road
hands hours to repair. Forsyth

Female Beauty.

1t is a fortunate thing that all men
do not have the same taste in female
beauty, for otherwise they would all
fall in love with the same woman,
which would be awkward. Although
the preferences of men for different
styles Of form and feature vary
greatly it is, undoubtedly, a fact
that an appearance indicative of
health is pleasing to all alike. A
woman.may be without regularkiea-
lures yet, if healthy, she will be
beautiful to some one and pleasing
to all. A sallow complexion, a dull
eye, a system debilitated by unnat-
ural discharges in short, all the ills
attendant upon the irregularities
and weaknesses" peculiar to the
sex, can be banished by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

Durability OF Consumption.

This has been a vexed question
among physicians, opinions, even in
the same school, being strangely
divergent. Of this, however, the
public are convinced: it is terribly
prevalent disease, and the average
doctor meets with but scant success
in treating it. Consumption is in
reality scrofula of the lungs, and is
liable to attack any whose blood is
tainted. For driving out the scrcfu-
lous humors, and thus removing the
predisposing cause, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is sover-
eign remedy. 1t purifies bad blood,
heals scrofulous ulcers, ard, what
ever difference ofopinion exists as to
curing advanced cases of consump-
ton, it remains that many pronounc-
ed favourable" have been by it
brought back from the brink OF the
grave to restored health and yigor.

The FARMERS AND THE ALLIANCE.

The farmers are deriving great
benefit from the Alliance. IL has
saved them, in Georgia alone, $780,
600 in single year ON the purchase
of fertilizer. It has lowered the
cost of almost every article they use,
food, clothing, farm implements,
wagons, buggies and even the few
luxuries that Georgia farmers have
been able to enjoy.
1t has taught the farmers the use
of the most powerful weapon in the
struggles of peace or war-co-oper-
alton. Divided, they, were the easy
prey Of the monopolist and trusts; but
united in phalanx 100000 strong
with one wing resting on the shores
of Maine, the other on the Pacific
coast, the farmers have become a
power.
They are the people and they must
rule.
Reports from alliance meetings in
Georgia and other southern states,
which the Journal publishes daily,
show that the order is wonderfully
successful.
| The membership is steadily in
creasing and its field of usefulness
is steadily broadening.
Reports from the South Carolina
Alliance are particularly encourag-
ing. The order Is making rapid
progress in that state and has, as
the Georgia Alliance, settled poll
cy of uplifting the people, and pro-
tecting them from the designs of
monopolies and trusts.
The alliance has a good work be-
fore it 1t has accomplished much,
but it has much more to accomplish.
Fortunately for the people, it has
the courage and the ability to wage
war successfully and to fulfil it's
mission.

An old foreman is quoted as say
ing concerning women compositors
(type setters) that they cannot stand
at the case as long as men, work as
many hours per day or keep at it
more than FIVE years, and that they
give out in the back. Probably if
the women were as sensibly dressed

hold out better. 1t is the dress that

Despise Not Old Maids.

How old maids are misjudged! 1t i:
a great mistake to suppose that most
of them are old maids from necessity
How many a bride or matron, who
carries hel head high and f1aunts he1
rich dresse and glories in her costly
equipages, would have her pride hum,
bled if sIaAnlv knew that the neighbour
ing old mad. whom she affects not to
despise, to be sure, but whose condi-
ton she cGnmiserates, had refused her
own liege BIRD long before she herself
ever had achance to marry him2
And it is not one, but many a one,
that Numerous old maids have declined
to marry. They preferred single life,
whether itwere ''single blessedness" or
not, to welded misery. Shriveled and
withered Tou say they arel Men and
women grow old and grow gray, wheth-
er married or single; but many an old
maid fingers today on this mundane
sphere who would have died long ago
an unhappy but popular and admired
wife had she consented to marry some
man whom she did not love, but did
despise, and said Eyes" where con-
science and God commanded her to
say No"
Long live old maids, and let no wom-
an, from the fear of becoming one,
ever willfully and deliberately sacrifice
herself. 1t is the next crime to suicide.

The largest quantity and handsomes
of the corals come from the Algerian
coast. The coral grounds have beer
worked since the middle of the Six
teenth century. Other coral grounds
are situated off the coast of Sicily
Corsica, Sardinia, Spain, the Balearics
and Provence. More than 500 Italian
barks and over 1920 persons are en-
gagged in the coral fisheries. Beside
these French and Spanish banks are
engaged in the same occupation.
The Italian fishermen pay high
royalty to the French government for
their right of fishing for coral on the
Algerian coast. There are more than
sixty coral workshops in Italy, forty of
which are in the little town of Tore
del Greco at the foot of Vesuvius
These shops give employment to about
1000 persons, chiefly women and chill

Ruskin's views of the bicycle were
expressed years ago in letter not gen
orally known. 1t has recently been
brought to public attention in Eng

not only object, but am quite prepared
to spend all my best bad language in
reprobation of bi, tri and 4, 5, 6 or z

invention for superseding human feet

leap and to dance are the virtues of the
human body, and neither to stride on
