The editor of a weekly journal lately |
lost two of his subscribers through acci-
dentally departing from the beaten track |
in his answer to correspondents. Two of
his correspondents wrote to ask him his |
remedy for their respective troubles. No. |
L, a happy father of twins, wrote to in |
quire the best way to get them safely over |
their teething, and No. wanted to know |
how to protect his orchard from the |
myriads of grasshoppers. The editor |
framed his answers upon the orthodox |
lines, but unfortunately transposed their |
two names with the result that No. l, who |
was blessed with twins, read in reply to |
his query: "Cover them carefully with |
straw and set fire to them, and the little |
pests, after jumping around in the fire for |
a few minutes, will speedily be settled"
No. 3 plagued with grasshoppers, was |
told to "giye little castor oil and rub |
their gums gently with bone ring"
There have been more tramps and |
beggars around Butler lately than ever |
before at any one ime in our recollection, |
and one feels like treating them kindly and |
helping them in their way, but in some
parts of the country the depredations of
the tramps are outrageous. The Sharon |
Ieleqraph of last week states that farmers
in that vicinity are becoming desperate on
account of the many depredations COM
mitted on their farms. The butchering |
"A of larOpr
cattle continues daily. Nearly every |
farmer who comes to Sharon has some tale
of woe to relate in regard to these thefts
At the farm of Mrs. Fell, mother of Mr..
Addison Luce, OF this place, thieves entered J
the barnyard recently and without ally |
hesitation butchered large steer not fifty |
yards from the house. A searching party |
was organized and tracked the thieves as
far as 0rangeville, but lost the trail there.
The thieves were evidently men who have |
no knowledge of butchering as the work |
ives done in a bungling manner.
William Stewart is the owner of flock |
of fancy Cotswold sheep on farm near |
Coitsyille, Ohio. During last Saturday |
night unknown persons entered his flock
and after selecting three of the finest |
sheep drove them to piece of woods near
and butchered them.
Fred Hoelzel, who owns a stock farm |
below Wheatland, went out one morning |
lately and discovered the remains of
sheep that had been butchered during the
night. An investigation was made, but he |
has vet failed to find a clue. The farmers |
are using the utmost vigilance for the pro-
lection of their hocBs and it is not safe for
any person to be seen around some farms
after dark.
-'In times of peace prepare for war"
So also in these dull times young men
should prepare for the revival of bushes.
DUFF'S COLLEGE of Pittsburg has fit
ted thousands OF young men for a life of
usefulness by giving them thorough
practical business education. The institu-
tion is the foremost of its kind in the coun
try. If any of our readers are interested
they should address W II. Duff, the Presi
dent, for circulars.
