A Word About Amazons.

The Dahomey imbroglio has brought the
word amazon" to the front, which is gen.
orally accepted to mean without breast"
though Littre alludes to the unknown
origin of the word, while suggesting that
amazon may be geographical or myth
illogical term. AS for the legend that
amazons were Cappadocian she soldiers,
who burned off the right breast of their
daughters to facilitate the drawing of the
bow, M. Pavot remarks that this is not
necessary as a lady has only to follow
fencing lessons with passion, equestrianism
and violent exercises in general when she
will become equal to that true type Of
amazonism- -man.-Paris Cor. Pittsburg

Is the Herd Large EnouRhs

Are you keeping all the COWS you
ought to keep? If every COW owner in
this country could read that question
and answer it correctly, the reply would
be in the vast majority Of cases: Yes,
we are keeping as many as we ought to
keep, but are not keeping as good as
we might have. Well, just there is the
trouble. We have COWS enough in this
country. We are not sure that it would
not be correct to say that we have too
many. but thousands of them are not
the right kind of cows. If we suppose
that we are feeding our dairy cows as
every dairyman should feed; feeding
the best and feeding plenty, it is
reasonable to suppose that We desire the
best possible return for that food. The
poor cow will not give it, and yet it is
likely that she will consume as much as
Q good COW. There are herds in this
country which If sold and the proceeds
invested. so far IS they would 60, in
COWS that are fit for the dairy, the
owner would double and treble his
profits though he might not have quar-
ter as many cows as he had before. He
would feed away less grain and yet get
more money. Baise the standard of the
herd. That Ia the road and only road to
. good profit-Western Rural

Orchards in Grass Lands.

We are asked If it is advisable to seed
down orchards and keep them in grass.
We suppose that reference is made to
the apple orchard. Peach orchards, and,
we believe, pear orchards, should be
cultivated as long as they stand. The
apple orchard should certainly be cul-
tivated for three or four years, aud
then it is better to sow /. to clover The
grasses proper make too stiff sward
Still, many orchards are sown to grasses
and many are ruined by permitting
them to remain in grain. There are
orchards that would be greatly benefited
by at least digging around the trees
when they have stood in grass for a
long time. Clover does not make Is
strong . sod, and it makes excellent
pasture for the hogs, which, if rung and
kept out Of the orchard when the
ground is wet and soft will do an
orchard good BY running In it-West

Two Bad Weeds,

Canada thistles and quack grass are
the worse to kill unless one knows how
not very difficult if done the right
way. For quack grass pillow in May,
harrow and cultivate in June, two or
three inches deep every week, and once
IN July; be sure to cut the tops off; do
not dig up the ground over three inches;
do not pillow the second time. II you
wish, sow it to buckwheat the first week
in July; If not, keep on cultivating un-
til the latter part Of August and SOW
wheat, rye or grass; and know from
experience your quack grass will be
gone. besides lots of other foul weeds.
For Canada thistles do the same, only
pillow later, the last half of June, be-
fore the thistles blossom; put chain on
your pillow so as to turn the tops all in.
Commence by the middle of July to
pillow, harrow and cultivate every week,
and by the first week in September your
thistles will be gone. This is what we
call here the smothering process. These
two pests both grow from the root and
seed; the root is the worse; every little
piece if broken and left in the ground
will surely grow. Quack grass makes
its greatest effort to grow through June,
Canada thistles later. A good spring
tooth harrow, with points made square,
is an excellent tool to cut the tops off.
Some gang plows do very WE'LL some
wheeled cultivator, if bright and sharp,
will cut the tops Oft. Be sure to cut of
tops every time mo halfway work. No
poor tool should be used. A good three
horse team and good man can clean
fifty acres in summer and have the
finest seed bed for wheat or grass that
can be made. -Country Gentleman.

The king of heggars lived ia RoInc
ana his name was Beppo. For half.
a centtry he piled his trade as a
mendicant, and the fortune he
amassed was enormous. 1t appears
that his stock in trade was a pair of

pathetic shufiiing along on his hands

protected byselogs, (which made

Clad in frowsy garments, and
with his shrunken shanks incased
in long blue stockings, this uncrown-
ed king presented a grotesquc APP

steps leading from the Piazza di
Spagna to the Trinita de Monti.
As his victim approached, Bcppo
was wont to rear back from his
sprawling, quadrupedal attitude up
on his launches, his withered legs
spread out at straight angles, after
the fashion of baby. He had the
body of an athlete, his face was fat
and jolly, but about his eyes was an
expression of malicious cunning. A
natural actor, he had an adroit wit,
and few indeed were those who es-
capped him. Chicago Nees.
