Farmer Readers.
Good mutton makes one Of the best,
if not the best, fresh meats that the
farmer can secure TO use during the
summer.
Breeding too young is leading cause
OF both hogs and sheep deteriorating.
The offspring are weak and often sickly.
If By conveniences, five minutes work
can be saved each time the milking and
feeding is done, it will amount to six
full days Of ten hours each in year.
Sheep properly pastured on land and
up the fertility much better and at n
less cost than with almost any other
class Of stock.
II one can fit their rotation to this
end, the best use that can be made Of
the manure is to apply it TO growing
clover. and then let the clover feed all
other crops.
Do not let the grass get too ripe before
cutting. There is very little substance
in the dry, woody stems often sold for
hay. Cut clover and the grasses as they
begin TO flower.
Professor Riley, the entomologist of
the National Department Of Agriculture,
in his "Insect Life" recently issued,
speaking OF the gypsy moth, says: I'VE

effort, at whatever cost, to stamp it out

order to procure good.havored butter.
A sharp competition ut Maine
fair was once decided in favor Of a young
dairyman who, it was subsequently
learned, had picked bright clover heads
each day for the pet Jersey that was
giving the milk.

aEseRites against insects finds new illus

MR.. EDITOR: On Wednesday, Decem-
Der 31st, 1880, one of the most amusing
and enjoyable circumstances occurred that
it has beon our privilege to witness.
Quite number of the good people assem-.
bled at the residence of Mrs. Sallie Allen
to witness the marriage of two colored
Democrats. The groom is near eighty
years old. while the bride is about sixty.
About O. clock, when John F. Clardy,
Notary Public, appeared ready to perform
the ceremony, Uncle Julius Elrod came
forward with Aunt Hannah Morris lean
ing upon his arm, blushing like sweet six
teen and, after short, appropriate cere.
mony, they were pronounced husband
and wife'-all standing in the yard. Be-
fore the congratulations could be extend

the amusement of the spectators, who
were not expecting but the one pair.

sold to Major George Elrod in 1852, and
moved to the place where be now resides,
burying his master in 1855. He still con-
tinued in the family It'll emancipation,
and liking his home and desiring to stay
with the family, who had owned him, he
settled down with his family on the
homestead of Mrs. Allen, burying his old
master and mistress, and the husband of
Mrs. Allen, continuing to take the best
care of her he can, aud raising large
family Of children, who are all grown up,
and in the mean time accumulating o
good little property. and always voting
