CLEVER DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
Rough on the Dog. But a Sure Thing on the
Gems


Talking about smu ggIing reminds me
of trick | saw resorted to by passenger
on one of the big steamers a couple of
years ago said a loquacious commercia
traveller. You know there is duty on
diamonds, and one of the passengers had
three large stones. with several thousand
dollars. which he had purchased in Lon
don. The problem of how to evade pay
ing the duty on the stones worried him
considerably, but at last he evolved a plan,
and few days before the steamer arrived
in New York he proceeded to execute it.
The chief officer had little skye terrier,
and the passenger, after considerable
coaxing induced, him to sell the dog.
AS soon as the smugger gained possession
of the animal he tied him up and gave
him nothing to eat until just before we
were to 60 ashore. He then procured
some fat meat from the cook, and cutting
off a piece little larger than walnut,
made hole in it, into which he placed
one of the diamonds. A dog will gener-
ally bolt piece of fat without chewing it,
and of course a diamond will 60 down
with it. The hungry dog swallowed the
meat, as his owner expected he would,
and in a short tine the three diamonds
were safely slowed away in mis- interior
The diamond smuggIer had no difficulty
in evading the vigilance of the custom
house officials, and was soon on his Way
up town leading the dog by string. l
met him again a few days afterward,
and asked him how he recovered the
stones. Easily enough" he replied.
"As soon as l got home l shot the dog
and found tue diamonds after a shcIt
search. Of course was sorry for the dog.
but dogs are cheap and the tariff on
stones is high, and | never allow SYM
patty to in,crfere with business"

PurifV-

Purity is power. The rose, among the
sweetest and most beautiful of Gods crea-
lions, is armed with thorns, natures sharp
bayonets for warding off attack. Purity
is the defense of beauty; modesty is the
safeguard of innocence. Keep thystlf
pure The severe chastity which repels
is an absolute essential for the
safety of the soul, as genial attractiveness
is for its beauty.-A. J. Gordon.

Sore Mouth Trouble

The sore mouth among the cattle, occa-
sionally among horses on grass, is annoy
ing, but not necessarily serious. They can,
not Craze well, and should be kept up off
the pasture until recovered. Feed new
hay (cut if convenient and mixed with
bran, shorts, or corn and oats rround). If
the tongue is very sore, it may be neces-
sary to make sort of Cruel or soup. Give
quantity to calves under six months. The
disease has been observed for more than a
year, but is not yet entirely understood.
Is slightly similar to la grippe in man, as

Currants.

Currant growing offers favorable open
ing to the small fruit culturist. 1t is a
branch Of horticulture that is rarely over.
done, and in which the profits under IA
vorable circumstances. are very large. Cut
ting should be made end set in August or
September, so that they may get started
before the SOL is chilled by the cooler
weather of autumn. If one has not any
bushes of his own from which to take cut
tings, the cutting may be bought for a
small price from the nursery men; and this
method of starting a plantation will be
much better than to make the outlay that
would be required should one-year or two
year roots be purchased. The cutting
must be from the shoots of the present
years growth. should be six or eight
inches, and placed vertically in the soil
with an inch exposed at the top.

A PAIR of Robbers.


The soil robber. proper, is considered TO
be the farmer who persists in taking crop
after crop off his land without giving any
thing in return. He is one of the worst
robbers we have. for be is robbing not
only himself, but the generations vet to
come He does not rob the dead, but the
unborn. The robbers referred to in the
caption above, however, are two of the
next greatest robbers of fertility of the
soil ana the life of the plant that we have
on the farm. We refer to the milk weed
and the morning glory.
The milk weed is quite at home on the
old farms and is one which seems to
flourish under adversely as we'll as under
more congenial conditions. The cultiva-
tor seldom ever takes this weed ont, and if
one does succeed IN breaking it off it puts
forth a new top at once. 1t is as much at
home in the corn fields as it Is In the oats.
and is an eye-sore to what would other
wise be fine fields. 1t is quite often al
lowed to mature its seed in the com field
simply because it cannot be taken out with
the cultivator, and by so d)ing it is intro
duced In new territory.
The morning glory is as formidable an
enemy, and is even more industrious In It's
mission of thwarting the intention of the
husbandman. 1t is a plant known to be
an early one and if it is not soon eradicat-
ed from the field of corn it will soon eradi-
cate the corn. The fight with this weed
must be early and late and from year to
year, unless the proper means are employ
ed for It's eradication.
Either of the above plants can be ex-
tirpated by adopting the following plan
If these weeds have become so numerous
as to render their habitation unfit for TIE
cultivation of other crops, it must be
delt with in d vigorous manner, and one
to which it is not accustomed. The field
should be left to It's glory until about the
first week in June, when the morning
gories should be plowed under. A suIky
plow is better for this purpose than any
other, for it will do better work The
success of the work will be in the proper
ton that all of the tops of the vines are
turned under. This is essential. The
field should then be planted to beans Or
sona other crop which will perfect itself
In short time. If the crop can be harv.
ested in time to put to winter wheat or rye
1t will be all the better. You need never
fear of having them longer in your field.
This method of procedure will also eradi-
cate the milk weed, and will hold good
with cocklebur, if the rye or the wheat
Stable is turned under early in the fall be-
fore any of the young burs have perfected
on the occasional stalks. The morning
glory will remain in the clover land until
an opportunity presents itself to show its
strength, when it will soon be as bad as
ever, but when once eradicated from the
field it will not return without being re-
introduced.

Cabbage.

The failure of cabbages to head npon
well-manured land may be due to various
causes. The most common case is lack
of mineral fertilizer in the soil, or an
excess of nitrogen which forces a tank and
rapid growth of leaves. 1t may be taken
as an established fact that most of our
soil is lacking of potash in an available
FORM. Wood ashes put on when the
manure was put in, or an application of
muriate of potash when the plants were
set. would probably be of much benefit In
fact. we have never known cabbages to
fail to make solid heads when this was
done. But now, when they ought to be
making better heads and do not, try An
application of kainit around them, and as
it is cheap it can be used literally. Some
use only common salt, which seems TO
have power OF assisting by attrac ing
moisture and by liberating potash in the
soil. but as the kainit contains both the
salt and the soda il will probably give bet
ter results
