Rooted to the Spot.

l heard story the other day about
gentleman who is now the president of
. college SO far away that he cannot
mind if l relate the incident. He was
Jolly good fellow and in his off hours
was accustomed to join with the other
good fellows of the boarding house in
friendly game of whist or smoke.
Ono evening when he was off at SER
vice two of the wags Of the establish
ment remembered that it was his iuvar
liable habit upon returning home to doff
his roundabout vest and clerical coat,
put on an old smoking jacket and en-
case his feet in pair of morocco Slip
pers, which latter always occupied the
same position on his bedroom floor
preparatory to his coming. Accord
ingly they firmly nailed these slippers
to the flonr, and awaited results in the
next room.
Presently the dominic returned. They
heard him moving about; they heard
the thud of his shoes as they were taken
off and thrown down, and then all
was silence They peeped cautiously
in, and there beheld the young clergy
man standing in his slippers, his face
white as sheet, and look of horror
upon it, bis eyes staring straight ahead.
The sight was too much for them, bat
they managed to suppress their laugh
ter and ask in tone of anazement
what was the matter.
Matter he grasped "There is
matter enough boys; I'm paralyhed, and
can't move hand OF foot. For mercy 5
sake help me
Such is the force of Imagination that
the man did actually believe for a
moment or two that he was paralyzed,
but he finally set 'em up, in a manner
appropriate to his calling, by buying
cigars for the crewd.

An automatic machine which forms,
fills, weighs and seals packages has
been invented. and is intended for use
where large quantities of tobacco, soda,
starch, etc, areput up. Its operations,
while curious, are sinple-the working
gear consisting of a series of forming
blocks, receptaclcs, folders, gummers
and feeders, which produce the pack
age smoothly and continuously. The
forming blocks size the paper, which is
afterward instantly wrapped around
them and folded and gummed at the
end. The paper sacks thus made are
then plunged into receptaeles, fillel,
folded on top and sealed. The inventor
Claims that if the machine is worked to
its full capacity it will pay for itself in
two hundred and seventy-fve days.

TREATMENT OF A BLoArED COW.

Bloating is due to overlooking on wet
heritage and is caused by the accumula-t
ton of gas in the paunch from the fer
mentation of the food. The passage to
the stomach is closed by the pressure
and it is sometimes impossible to get
any relieving medicine into the stomach.
If this can be done, carbonate of am
mona, given in one-ounce doses dis
solved in water, is most useful. But
mechanical means are most effective. A
round stick, two inches in diameter, fast
ened in the mouth like biz, may afford
relief, by inducing eructation of the gas
When all other means fail, the stomach
may be punctured on the left side of the
COW, little below the hip bone and
eight inches forward of it, so as to let
out the contiael gas--NeD York Times.

ouLrrvArrSe THE sMA1h GRAINS.

The notion of some agricultural writers
that wheat, rye, oats and barley would
in few years be cultivated, as corn is
now cultivated, is hardly warranted by
any present experience. The spring
small grains are undoubtedly benefited
on rich land by narrowing when they
come up, because on such land this in
duces the plants to tiller or spread, and
shoot up more stalks than they otherwise
would. But when the plant is nearing
tie time for heading out cultivation
would certainly be harmful. 1t would
induce too rank growth, causing the
straw to fall down, and preventing the
heads from filling. The check to small
gram from each stem crowding its neigh
Dor prevents any from getting an over
supply of nitrogen, and is better for the
crop than growing each plant by itself.
The scattering oat plants that sometimes
appear in hoed crops, passing through
the excrement of granted horses, usually,
rust so badly that neither stra W nor grain
is worth anything.-Boston Cultioator.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
HARVESTING BEANS.

In harvesting beans, considerable time
can be saved by using machine com
monty called beap-puller, but really a
bean root-cutter, as it cuts off the
roots just below the ground, leaving
beans and haulm loose upon the surface.
Then when dry, they can be gathered
quite rapidly with forks. They are then
drawn into the barn and slowed away
until threshing time. Beans are general
ly threshed with threshing machines
with cylinders arranged for the purpose.

The company asked on the strength of
this clause that it be paid the rent and
not MarsOn. Justice Barton has not yet
decided the question, but from what he
has said in speaking of the case it is
believed that the loan company can't
get possession until time of redemption
has expired. The clause referred TO is
new one in leases, and the justice
does not think will he upheld by the
