CHEAPEST HAY CROP.

Hungarian grass is perhaps the cheap
est crop that can be grown for hay. The
seed may be sown as early as May, but it
loves the warm weather. On rich land,
if the seed is sown in June, or even in
July, it will yield we'll. II entails no
labor other than to plow the land, har-
row it well, and sow. The cost of the
seed is but little. 1t is cheap crop. 1t
will allow of crop of early peas or
early potatoes being taken off for market
before sowing. ng.-Chicago Times.

The lace bark tree grows in the West
Indies. 1t is a lofty tree, with ovate,

It is remarkable for the tenacity
Of its inner bark aud the readiness
with which the inner bark may be sep

Wages a Century Ago.

From an ancient account book found
at Eastport, Me-, it appears that in 1897
tobacco was sold by the yard in that
settlement. The limited purchasing
power of days wages at that period is
shown by the price of nails-thirty cents
a pound. A days ordinary wages would
pay for about four pounds Of nails

ABOUT SELECTING THE FLOCK.

Selecting means little more than
culling the flock, and is the most direct
and reliable way of improvement. The
fockowner that expects to improve his
sheep by buying all his good sheep will
have to keep on doing so. The import
ance of having a well-defned standard
OF proper sheep for the business in
tended and the circumstances surround
ing the plant cannot be overestimated.
Without this standard all the selection is
guesswork. A Missouri sheep. breeder
had an expert select his flock on the
basis of fleece excellence. The results
were the next clip brought four cents a
pound more in price than the former
clip had brought, though woods were
lower in price than the former year.
There are other points that should be
considered besides the feeces. The
size, form, symmetry, thrift, early ma
tunty, feeding, and breeding qualities
are among the most important charac.
teIistics in a good flock, but they are
not all; there is more in quiet handling,
domestic qualities than is generally
recognized. A nervous, fussy sheep eau
never be the most useful, and these
qualities in flock are very objection
able.
The rule with most sheepmen is to
select the flock either at shearing or tup-
ping season; both are proper, but the
better plan is to keep dish of lamp
black or Prussian blue on hand to mark
Objectionable animals whenever sufficient
cause for condemnation is discovered.
Instead of selecting once or twice a
year, practice it every day with unre-
mitting vigilance. No matter how good
a sheep may be in one or two points, if
it is not paying sheep it should be
discarded and one put in its place that
will pay.-American Farmer.

TEMPERANCE.
ALCOHOL A NARCOTIC.

Alcohol is not a stimulant; il is a narcotic,
a soother Of irritable nerves, or it may act
as an irritant to cerebral nerve cells. BY
giving alcohol we put out the danger signal
which nature is showing us; we lull our pa
tients and their friends into a dangerous
lethargy, and give them hopes that the pa
tient is recovering, whilst, in reality, the
disease is rapidly advancing. ALFRED Car

Two Vantlals Who Have no Re.

Two desperate characters tried their
hand at destroying property generally
las, Monday night. They commenced
their work Of destruction on the Virginia
road at house on the same owned by
DR. Bishop and occupied by coiored peo-
Pile They broke out every pane of glass
in one of the windows and otherwise de-
faced the property. No one was at home
during the time except children. and one
of these was cut across the eye, making
an ugly wound which DIR. Bishop dressed
He says there is danger of the childs los
ing the sight of the eye. Having accom-
plished their aims here, they passed on
taking down gates and tearing down fen
ces for Mr.. II. :. Stevenson and others
until they crossed the railroad where they
broke open the unoccupied tenent house
of Mr. Stevenson. broke out the windows
sash and lights. turned over the out-huild-
ings. and, taking cook stove out Of the
building, broke it up, and threw it down
the well They then passed on tearing
down stack of fodder for Mr.. Duer and
doing otI er damage in the neighborhood.
Ii is not known who the parties were, rs
no one saw them except the children, who
could only tell there were two OF them.
Should they be found out they would have
TO pay dearly for their fun, as the neigh
borh ood is enragcd and very little favor
