GUARDING AGAINST LIGHTNING,
Shut Up the House and Avoid a Drafu
and You Are Comparatively Safe.

Shut Up the House and Avoid a Dran
and You Are Comparatively Safe.
With all the innumerab BILE stories Of
what are called 'streaks of lightning"
that destructive agent is always
scrupulously obedient to the laws Of
attraction; and what we thoughtlessly
call freaks are simply the peculiar
variations of the attractions which
conduct the electrical discharge. Light.
ming will always follow the best con.
ductor that furnishes the highest
measure of attraction. That would
usually be a lightning rod, if it is
properly attached to building: In
the absence of such a protection an
electric discharge may follow chin.
ney, but it is much more likely tc
enter a window or door through
which current of damp air is passing
Indeed, it is seldom that lightning
enters house at all when it is thor.
oughly closed up, but damp current
of air is one of the best conductors that
an ordinary house offers to electricity.
Almost invariably, when death is
caused by a lightning stroke in a
building, it is stated that the lightning
entered by an open door or an open
window, and if all persons would ex.
ercise the simple precaution Of
promptly closing every door and win-
dow whenever thunderstorm is ap.
preaching there would be little peril
to life in our houses. In nine cases
out of ten when thoroughly closed
house is struck by lightning there is
no injury to the inmates beyond a
harmless shock. There is not entire
safety, of course, in an unprotected
building during a Thunderstorm, but
the danger is reduced to an almost i'm.
perceptible degree if the plain, COM
mon sense precautions are taken OF
closing every door and window before
the storm has begun.
These precautions should always be
practiced whenever thunderstorm is
approaching. 1t should not be delayed
until the storm arrives, and the doors
and windows should not be opened
until the storm is entirely over. 1t is
not uncommon for such discharges to
occur after the storm has practically
ceased. -Philadelphia Times

they do by the thousands every Au-
gust, there is dancing every third
night, and plenty of sl1ylarking while
the big boxes are being filed. But
these women look no more capable Of
dancing than Millet's laborer in the
'Angeius."
In New Jersey the women farm
laborers are quite as numerous proper
tionately as on Long Island, but both
to west and east the women rapidly
diminish as one recedes from the city.
their employment is mainly confined to
the truck farms where vegetables are
raised for the city markets. Nor are
they anywhere near SO plenty about
Boston or Philadelphia. There are
many places in the west, however,
nearly exclusively peop!ed by old-world
nations where women regularly take
hold of farming operations. Except in
truck farming, for which they seem to
have a special aptitude, they usually
get; out of it as soon as they absorb the
modern American spirit It's a great
pity. Women used to rake hay and
milk cows almost universally in this
country as they do in others, and were
probably healthier and happier for it.
Staying in the house all the time is
deadly in the long run

saying rattlesnake had bitten him
and he wanted some whisky. l had no
whisky and the poor fellow was scared
half to death. The snake had bitten
him on the shoulder. He could not
reach the wound to draw out the poi
son and he was afraid to ask me to do
it. took hold of the mans arm, how
ever, sucked out the poison and put a
chew of tobacco on the wound. Next
morning the Indian was all right.
Much has been said about the un =
grateful Indian, but n ever saw such
gratitude. He wept and danced for
joy. Then he told me where there was
a rich gold bearing vein. He took me
to the place and between us we took
out one hundred thousand dollars
worth of the metal and then sold the
mine for sixty thousand dollars. That

Warren county private, having knocked
down his captain, was tried. convicted
and sentenced to the Dry Tortugas. His
friends urged Scofield to have him re-

and told his story. Listening attentive
ly, Lincoln replied: II tell you, Judge,
you go right down to the capitol and
get congress to pass an act authorizing
a private soldier to knock down his cap
tain. Then come back here and will
pardon your man." The judge says that

HILLSIDE FARMING.
The Experience of Man Who Knows
How to Observe Things.

The Experience of Man Who Knows
How to Observe Things.
Many farmers cultivate and hoe their
crops too deep. l used to think Tor
rather did it without thinking) that it
was the proper thing to let the cult
vator run just as deep as l could, and
then follow with the hoe in the same
way. This was a mistake, as by so
doing not only cut and tore off many
of the very strongest and best roots,
that were giving my crop the very life
it needed, but also caused the ground
to become drier, and made it heavy
work for my team and men. We should
cultivate and hoe our crops as shallow
as possible, thus leaving the 6brous
roots undisturbed to grow and nourish
the plant. At the same time the thin
layer of earth that we stir acts in the
most perfect manner as a mulch.
To prevent hillsides from washing,
first plow lengthwise with the hill and
never up and down. By so doing, each
furrow, to certain degree and for a
long time acts as sort of dam, and
holds the heavy rains back from wash
ing. Next, be sure to plant with the
drills running lengthwise of hill. and
you thus make your crop and it's roots
act as solid turn-water. Then the
constant cultivation you give the crop
has tendency to make a sort of valley
between the drills, which holds the
water back, whereas if your rows run
up and down the hillside, each space
forms perfect water drain for the
heavy showers to fill up, and the water
will rush down hill, outlying out your
land badly. More than this, if one will
take the trouble to run several burrows
with the plow lengthwise of the hill
between every tenth row of plants,
and not disturb it in cultivating, he
will find he has a perfect stop water,
and his hillside will be preserved from
gullies and washing badly.-Cor. Coun-
try Gentleman

You should have seen the picture
from our door. One side the green
woods, the other the green prairie
like a sea it looked with the wind
swocring its long grass gently up and
down, as waves rise and fall, and just
eighty little houses and then barns
gathered together and the stone church
on the hill and the schoolhouSe below
it. 1t was called Hope Settlement, and
it was prosperous and others were
coming ont to us shortly, and in so
small Il place we were all
friends, and everyone was hidden
to the wedding, and everyone
came. We walked to the church, and
came after. arm in arm, with many Il
joke and many a laugh. The minister
and his wife and five little girls in
white muslin gowns were already at
the church. SO was the old man who
kept it tidy, and 4 wagon full of men,
passing 10y US to clear q place farther
on, had stopped to see the wedding.
Before we went in my father invited
them all to come over and share the
supper and the dance, and they thanked
him kindly and said they would if their
rough dress might be excused. for they
had no holiday clothes with them: and

No, make no mistake. In 1872 men
always took their guns to church with
them on Sundays, and at any time
when there was a meeting there or
wedding: for, look you, there was
revcr any telling when the redskins
would be upon place.

Bread for Poultry.

Waste stale bread can be bought at a
nominal price from large hotels and
bakeries. Nothing better can be fed
to chickens with vegetables and proper
seasoning than stale bread. Being as
it is cheap and healthful food. it
often appears to me strange that more
poultrymen do not buy and feed it.
If you feed large numbers of fowls it
is great saving in feed, particularly
during spring and summer, when it is
more easily relished. Young chicks
should have it often, and mixed with
the morning feed it digests easily and
fattens moderately, and has the ele-
ments of bone making materials. We
hope those who have us yet used it but
very moderately will look more care
fully into the question and test its
worth as proper food for fowls

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
FEMALE FARM HANDS.

They Are Numerous on Long Island and
In New Jersey.
A Jamaica farmer told one of our
correspondents the other day about a
widow with four children living in
that village who does not work regu-
larly in the fields, but every year about
this time takes her little brood of chill
dren out into the fields and earns with
them $40 or $25 aweek at piece work
until the busy season is over. Most
of the women farm hands, however, live
in the country and are more regularly
employed. They feed pigs, hoe corn,
