sulphur for Ticks an Cows.

Speaking of the screw worm the Mis-
bissippi station says that nearly one
half the cases in cattle occur when
ticks have been crushed. The great
trouble is that cattle are not kept free
from these pests. The old manner of
killing the ticks by the application of
kerosene, sulphur or tobacco requires
more time than the average stock raiser
can give, and when the ticks are de-
stroyed in this way it is but short
time before they are again abundant.
The method of combating with ticks
practiced by this station is by feeding
sulphur with the salt. A covered
trough is made in one corner of the
pasture, and in this is kept a quantity
of sulphur and salt, about half and half.
When the supply is nearly exhausted
the trough is refilled and thus the cat
tie can get it whenever they may wish.
Some claim this will cause rheumatism
during wet weather, but no such re-
suits have ever been noticed, and when
thus given the sulphur will keep the
cattle free from the ticks

"old Tibbs" gave the signal, and the
troop, with the captain leading n
length ahead, gave wild rebel yell"
and swooped down upon the terrified
crowd, leaping tables, sending dishes
and plates flying in all directions and
making complete wreck of things.
The negroes, who were wild with fear,
scrambled from under the debris and
made for Alexandria to give the alarm;
the whites, trembling in terror, lest
they should be made prisoners, scram-
bled for safe place. The whole scene
was SO ludicrous that the whole troop
was convulsed with laughter, and 1T
was some little time before "Old Tibbs"
could control his risibles long enough
to give n serious command. A few mo-
ments' work and the tall pole was cut
down, the flag secured, and each man
had ham of bacon or leg of mutton
beautifully adorning his saddle
After warning the inhabitants in Civ
ing any further information as to their
future movements, the troop returned
to camp to enjoy the results of the
trip. The next day large body of fed
eral cavalry was sent to Accotink to
protect the loyal inhabitants, and the
northern papers teemed with the news
of the attack by large "reber' force;
but the light horse" company of only
one hundred men was all the large
force" ever in that vicinity, but which
proved sufficient to send terror even to
the army at Washington.-N. Y. Led

pairs, attract money-spending summer
visitors and enhance the value of prop
erty. The macadam and similar sys-
TENS are unquestionably the best, al
though rather costly at first But un-
fortunately in many country towns the
usual method of roadmaking consists of
plowing up the loan, clay, gravel and
turf and scraping it up toward the CEN
ter of the highway, with more or less
bungling attempts at smoothing. Spe-
cial machines for this purpose have
been devised, some of them heavy and
cumbrous, weighing from 1000 to 5000
pounds, needing from four to six horses
or oxen to operate them, and so eXpan-
sive as not 70 be turned around easily
on a narrow road. They are costly in
more ways than one, not merely to the
town or district which buys them, but
to the owners of horses which are
hitched thereto in service. Hence the
road machine invented by Stockport

resented herewith may, perhaps, fill a
long-felt want in many parts of the
country. Only a single sample has
been built, but it has been practically
tested. Its weight is only 400 pounds.

claims that it does better work and

The Most Remarkable Curiosity Among
Apples Yet Recorded.
Although the effect of the root-stock
on grated fruit is well known general
ly, vet there is continual inquiry on
the subject. The freak of nature, or
probably the natural result of grating,
referred to here, may be interesting as
well as instructive.
On ''greening" tree was grated
some scions from a ''sweeting" tree
Not an apple from the scions was ali
sweet or all sour, but every apple was
both sweet and sour in nearly equal
proportions Half of an apple might
be sweet and the other half sour; or
there might be several sweet parts and
alternately as many sour parts, the skin
of the latter being green and that of
the former yellow.
The sweet and sour parts of every ap-
pie were shaped like the parts of an
orange, and it was possible to cut a
slice of sweet and then slice of sour
apple until the whole apple was divided
into equal parts. In cooking the apples
baking them for 'apples and milk
the sour parts of an apple were cut out
and slices from another sweet apple in.
