RAISING MIXED GRAIN.

BY raising mixed grain better re-
suits can be secured in an average
year. The yield in measured bushels
will be less, but there will be more
pounds; and for COWS or pigs the
mixture is quite as valuable as oats
alone. About twenty-five tons of
mixed oats, peas. and barley were
harvested from twenty acres on my
farm this year. Several acres of the
twenty, sown rather late in the sea-
son on clay soil, never recovered
from the effects of the severe spring
drought and had a very imperfect
stand, thereby lessening the average
of the whole, which was nearly the
weight of seventv-five bushels of oats
to the acre.
One field of 512 acres, where the
stand was perfect, gave 800 bushels,
machine measure, of grain weighing
so pounds to the bushel, equal to 90
bushels of oats to the acre in weight
The ground was carefully measured.
There may have been larger crops
raised in this vicinity, but l am fully
satisfied that the yield from the 20
acres as above stated was at least
5OOpounds of grain to the acre more
than would have been obtained from
the same ground if oats alone had
been used for seed. | am sure that
barley for seed would not have Sc
cured as good results The Guilt
vator and Country Gentleman.

VERMONT FARMS WANTED.

A South Wardsboro man writes to
the Brattleboro Phoenix as follows
regarding certain tendency to view
Vermont farms with a wistful eye:
&C. L. Clark, owner of the Lakeside
farm at Marlboro, N. H., with sew
eral other parties, has been here the
past week looking at farms with a
view towards purchasing. Mr..
Clark is one of the leading grangers
in New Hampshire, and says men
are foolish to spend their last dollar
on a worthless farm in Dakota and
then be obliged to walk East again
as many do, when they can come
here to old Vermont and for a mere
song buy a good and productive
farm"
And the Manchester Journal of a
recent issue contained this sugges-
tive paragraph, which shows that
the sO-called abandoned farms in this
state are not beyond all hope of
tenants:
eve have received a letter from a
gentleman in New Jersey, who has
evidently heard about the abandoned
farms in Vermont, saying there are
three parties there who wish to pur-
chase farms, and they wish to learn
about farms for sale"

ANIMAL NOTELETS.

A jet black swan was killed on
the California coast last week.
A breed of wild pigs has been dis
covered in Queensland which climbs
trees.
A farmer on the shores of Lake
Ontario has a mare and colt that
chew tobacco with great relish.
An Arkansas pig has a scent equal
to dogs. His wonderful instinct
saved his owners child from drown
ing the other day.
A Pennsylvania was cured of the
effects of snake bite by the applica-
ton of a galvanic battery to the
nape of his neck and the apex of the
heart.
A blacksnake five and half feet
long in Tennessee in a fight with a
RATHER two and a half feet long swal-
lowed the latter He died from the
effects of his dose, as did also the rat
tier.
A Georgian discovered that. a
chicken snake had taken three of his
young chicks. He killed the snake,
recovered the chicks, placed them I'M
der the hen and now they bid fair to
make good broilers in time.

"Fve a cheap and safe remedy fol
smallpox" said a medical man. my
father was a physician before me and
he used it successfully. It's sure, too.
in cholera and yellow fever. Now
guess it, gentlemen. It's simple ar
ticle-one you've all used from child
hood No, you can't? Well, sirs, it's
salt-common, plain, everyday salt.
Salt, you know, preserves, prevents pu-
trefaction. The diseases we most fear,
according to eminent medical authori-
ties, are due to putrefaction in our sys-
tenn. Here's where the salt works like
charm. Now, don't smile, but try it.
If you take two teaspoonfuls of salt in a
glass of water, say three times day,
you'll not have to be vaccinated during
a smallpox epidemic, Stunned during a
cholera scare or nursed during yellow
fever plague. Put little vinegar in
the glass to make the dose palatable and
keep it up a week or so. Salt is pre-
server of life. gentlemen, and if you are
ever in a position to test its efficacy
you'll remember this conversation. y

A Fortunate Cat.

A cat which patronizes the soda water
fountain is an attraction of a drug store
in Sixth avenue, near Jefferson market.
1t is fine plump animal, with a layer
of fat for each of its thirteen years, but
between its age and weight it is most
deliberate in its movements. Its teeth
are not what they once were by any
means, and so it gets along most easily
with liquid food. Long ago it discov-
cred that the "cream" of the fountain
suited its tastes, and it has habit of
going up to the counter and waiting
until it is served with light refreshments
in its own particular saucer. Then it
sits in the sunlight and blinks content
edly, the envy of all the small boys of
the neighborhood, whose visits to the
fountain are limited by circumstances
over which they have no control.-New
York Times.

Chemica, Effect of Lightning.

Lightning works chemically as well
as mechanically. 1t has the power OF
developing a peculiar odor, which has
been variously compared to that of phos-
phorus, nitrous gas and most frequently
burning sulphur. Wafer mentions q
storm on the Isthmus of Darien which
diffused such a sulphurous stencil
through the atmosphere that he and his
marauding companions could scarcely
draw their breath, particularly when
they plunged into the wood. The Brit
ish ship Montague was once struck by
globular lightning, which left such a
satanic SAVIOR behind it that the vessel
seemed nothing but sulphur. and every
