The Bu.termiIk Man.

On every warm day the buttermilk
man does thriving business. Whether
he drives one Of those nondescrip.
wagons built after the general lines OF
the fire engine and deals out foeming
goblets to the street crowd or stands
behind fashionable uptown bar, he
is the popular favorite on hot day.
People regard him in the light Of q
public benefactor-in measure . ii
he were doing all this for nothing, or
regardless of private gain.
Some people suddenly discover
him, and these look upon the shining
silver can behind the bar with q
species of awe and establishment. They
never saw it before. They want some
buttermilk, but they hesitate to ask
for it. The name sounds puerile and
subject to ridicule. When they order
it finally it is in n whisper-an
apologize whisper. Some sort Of an
apology appears to be necessary, but
in the middle of it the bartender goes
away with his impressive face. He, is
growing tired Of that kind OF thi,'y.
He sells from two to five gallons day,
and fully one-half OF those who buy
apologize because they prefer butter
milk to beer or whisky on such Il day.
They seem to think it is due his call
ing. vet the house makes about five
hundred per cent. profit on the sale.
At all of the dairy places you can
get for three cents what is sold for ten
at the big bars. The rudest little
milk agencies up town have butter
milk counters. Sometimes it is a dry
goods box on end, sometimes a smooth
board covered with oilcloth. In front
of these are men, women AMI children
at all hours ofthe dag. The children,
however, do not take to the beverage,
and their presence Is in the interests
of the buttermilk growler. The latter
is Crushed in a becoming way and
free from the espionage of the police.
There are no broken heads following
this kind of "growler.' 1 am told
that there is more buttermilk con-
sumed at the drinking places this year
than ever before, which is pleasant to
hear, for buttermilk-good, fresh
buttermilk-is n wholesome and most
refreshing drink.-Hew York Herald.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PIGS NEED SALT?

Swine may not require as much salt
in proportion to their size All horses,
cattle and sheep, but they are GER
tainlv benefited by small saline
rations, especially when feeding upon
green heritage in summer. Salt gives
relish for the food, aids digestion, and
DESTROYS intestinal worms in swine as
well as in other animals. A very high
English authority, in referring to this
subject, says that moderate quantity
of salt promotes and accelerates the
fattening of hogs. 1t should be mixed
with their food at the rate OF large
tablespoonful in each twenty-four
bonrs' rations, and may be advan-
tageously given in large quantity IN
cases where they eat it greedily. 1t is
claimed that when the use of salt was
first introduced to the Irish piggeries
hogs we're found to fatten in little
more than half the time which was
formerly common, and were found to
acquire greater bulk of fat 1t IS quite
probable that the value Of salt for fat
tening hogs has been somewhat exag-
gerated by European agricultural
writer's, but that it is healthful for
swine, if not absolutely necessary,
there can be no reasonable doubt. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Ducks eat twice as much as chicks.
Give the setting hens the best place.
The comb of the fowl is its health
barometer.
The Plymouth Rock will lay about
ten dozen eggs a year.
In blackberry culture the soil should
be cool, rich and moist.
Many horticulturists say that sheep
are the best insecticide.
Cholera among chickens is almost
always the result of dirt.
Red top will be found a good pas
ture on low, wet and rich soils.
A good mulch will make the soil
loose, moist and porous, and will keep
down the weeds.
It isn't what to grow, but how to
get more money for what he does
grow, that now most concerns the far
mer.
Ii the eggshells are thin the trouble
is m overfat condition Of the fowl.
Reduce the amount Of food by one
half and omit all grain.
If you cannot top out a grain stack
so as to shed water, do not let false
pride prevent you acknowledging it
by using green slough grass to finish
with.
The draft horse should be pre-em-
inently an animal of quiet-yet not
sluggish -temperament. A strong,
even puller will resist fatigue better,
and do more service.
1t is better to lessen the herd one
half or two thirds in number, or re-
duce it to a single animal rather than
fill it with cows that, however fed, Will
little more than pay their keep.
On no account omit attention to the
udders of ewes after the lambs are
taken away to be weaned, or the best
mixers will have spoiled bags, and be
practically ruined for breeding pur-
poses.

CoRNs on HORSES.

The corns from which horses suffer
are largely the result of the use Of
shavings or sawdust in the stable in
stead of straw. Sawdust and shaving
bedding cause fever in the feet and
contraction of the coronary band by
pushing the bones of the foot into the
top at the junction of bone and flesh
results. This tightness of the coron-
arv band produces what are called
corns.
These so-called corns are easily cured.
The only thing necessary IS to loosen
the foot around the coronary band. In
other words, to put the foot in proper
proportion and in proper angle to the
limb above. The bones in the foot
will then drop down into their proper
and normal position, and the lameness
will cease.
The discoloration in the sole which
has been mistaken for a corn Is not
one, for there is no core or centre to
it such as all corns have. 1t is simply
a discoloration which will disappear as
soon as the cause of it has been re-
moved, md will not, like a corn, grow
again. No local application will be Of
any use, nor will pads or bar shoes
avail. The trouble is at the top Of the
foot. and not at the bottom. New

An Uncertain Groom.

Many characteristics OF the Scotch
are amusingly displayed in a series
of stories published in Edinburgh
some years ago under the title Of
Scotch Folk"

asked the Rev. Mr.. Wood, Of Bath
gate, Of a middle-aged couple who
had come to be married.

@Oh, certainly" said the minister,
you should have a groomsman and
bridesmaid as witnesses"
"Wha can we get, Jen, do ye
think"
The bride, thus addressed, sug-
gested a female cousin whom the
bridegroom had never seen, and,
after consultation a man also was
thought Of.
step We ava alang, Jen, an ask
them. an I'll walk ABBOTT till ye come
back"
Jen set out as desired. and after
some time returned with the Two
friends, the cousin being a blooming
lass considerably younger than the
bride.
When the parties had been proper
" arranged and the minister was
about to proceed with the ceremony,
the bridegroom suddenly said:
"Wad We bide wee, sir:'
What is it now?' asked the minis
ter.
"Weel, was just gaun to say that
II it wad be the same to you, | wad
rather haze that ane, " pointing to the
bridesmaid.
That's a most extraordinary state.

claimed the minister I'm afraid
it's too late to talk OF such a thing
now
as it?" asked the bridegroom, in a
tone Of resignation TO the inevitable.
"Weel, then, We mann just hang on. -
1t is not recorded that there was
any feeling Of citation on the part OF
the bridesmaid, or Of jealousy on the
part of the bride, and the ceremony
proceeded.

Editinq a Magazine.

Henry NJ. Alden, the editor OF Har-
per's Magazine, is a hard, methodical
worker. Mr.. Alden sits down usually
with a cigar in his mouth and quietly
surrenders himself to reading the mass
of manuscript that is laid before him
every day. He gives himself up to it
absolutely, trying neither to analyse
nor criticise, but only to appreciate.
When he feels he understands tho
author meaning and method he makes
up his mind if the story or article has
that quiet, homelike quality which
distinguishes all of Harper's publica
tions. This standard of quiet respect
ability is tradition in the great house,
and Mr.. Alden adapts himself to it as
best he can. He does not ask himself
whether this story interests himself or
is dull; he asks if it is in harmony
with the spirit OF the magazine since
it was founded, and if it is he prints it,
and if it isn't he lays it aside, however
sincerely he admires or approves OF it.
Not n great deal Of planning is done.
In consultation with the members of
the firm the serials of the year are
chosen and asked for from well. known
writer's. Then various series of arti
Giles are arranged and asked for from
old contributors. If writer once
gets into the charmed circle the Har-
pers are inclined to publish everything
he writes, and forbid him TO write
for any other magazine. Thus W.
Hamilton Gibson presents yearly what
he chooses and il is accepted. Julian
Ralph has been writing papers III
much the same way. Nearly every
thing of Miss Wilkins has been taken
by the Harpers, and she has gone else
where only when she has become so
prolific they cannot keep pace with
her. New YORK Advertiser.

Do Ant Tx?

This query is made by a writer,
and he then goes on to say: Il one
day saw a drove Of the small black
ants moving, perhaps to better quar-
tiers. The distance was some one
hundred and fifty yards. Almost all
which came from the old home car
ried some Of the household goods.
Some had eggs, some had what might
have answered for their bacon or
meat, some had one thing and some
another. | sat and watched them
closely for over an hour l noted
that every time two met in the way
they would hold their heads close to-
gether as If greeting one another;
and 10 matter how often the meeting
took place this same thing occurred
as though a short chat was necessary.
"TO prove more about it, | killed
one who was on his way. Others be-
ing eye witnesses TO the murder went
with speed, and with every ant they
met this talking took place as before.
But instead Of a pleasant greeting, it
was sad news they had to communi-
cate. | knew it was sad news, for
every ant that these parties met
hastily turned back aud fed on an
other course, as much as to Say:
~For the kings sake and for your
safety do not 60 there, for l have
seen a monster, just behind, that is
able to destroy us all at one blow. l
saw him kill one Of our family l do
not know how many more are killed"
So the news spread, and it was
true. How was the news communi-
Gated, if not by speech.

Of the fern, and Weist discovered
that he had fallen into a den Of
snakes.
The side of the hole was as smooth
as glass and he could not climb out.
Suddenly an army Of snakes glided
towards him. He discharged both
barrels at them, blowing six to pieces.
The rest crept on. Twice again he
fired at the maddened reptiles, which
had now surrounded him in a writh-
ing mass, and as he could shoot NJ
longer he dubbed his rife and struck
cut right and left, while his cOmpan-
ions overhead aided him by firing
down on the serpents. At last lie
began to grow faint, and Numah,
seeing his terrible peril thrust his
gun-barrel over the edge and Weist
grabbed it and Numah and Orwich
started to pull him up Then his
feet cleared the top of the crag and
he was safe. After recovering his
breath he aided his friends in shoot
ing into the mass Of snakes directly
below. When their cartridges were
exhausted they flshed out all the
dead snakes they could and carried
them home.
