LOVE ANo THOUGHT.

What hath lovc with thought to do,
Still at variance are the two.
Love is sudden, love is rash,
Love is like tho levin flash.
Comes as swift, rs swiftly goes,
And his mark us surely knows.
Thought is lumpish, thought Is slow,
Weighing long tween yes and no.

THE vETch.
lts valuc - q Forage Plant to SoathsF
Farmers.

lts Value - = EOsagc Plant to Southern
Farmers.
If il were not for the difficulty of
saving the seeds of vetch, it would be
one of the most popular Of southern
forage plants.
1t belongs to the legumes. and the
little pods that bear the seed pop open
as soon as they get little dry, and
scatter the seed over the ground. On
account of the care involved in saving
seed, there is comparatively little seed
saved. aud the price is such as to deter
most farmers from sowing it.
If . crop Of vetch is allowed to seed
even once on piece of land, = crop can
be made for q number of years in the
same manner that crop of burr clover
is renewed.
Vetch and burr clover are much alike
in habit. springing up in the autumn,
thriving in the winter, yielding fine
pastures or good moving in the early
spring, making seed and dying down
completely before the hot weather of
June. The seeds lie in the ground,
with NO disposition to sprout until the
fall rains occur.
Along in September or October, some
times rs early as August, the seed
germinatc after saturating rains, and
where the land is rich . good pasture
will result sometimes before Christmas.
Stock should not be turned on to it
until it gets well established, and If
the full benefit would be derived from
Il. never let stock run on it when
the ground is wet. Such practice
will soon spoil good pasture. The
reckless pasturing of soils through all
kinds of weather has much to do with
impoverishing them. Such practice
should be followed no longer. One
should he particularly careful in the
treatment of q winter pasture. The
southern stock-grower and dairyman
will find the vetch q very useful plant
sown along with those previously
commended for their quality and per
manency.
Like few others, such as burr clover
and white clover. the vetch makes an
excellent Coordination" plant Like
peas and clover. it is helpful to the
soil, is easy to manage and is very nu-

sAooINc QUAIL IN NEVADA.

Native Sports Play . Joke ON a Enthasi-
astic Tenderf0oe.
A visitor at Eureka. New. held forth
in his hotel with rcgarl to his ability
to bring quail to the earth. Among
good sport himself. was desirous of
testing the foreigners ability as shot.
1--WE do not shoot quail.cc said he.
.we bag them. and if you want to go
out you may do so tonight and see
better fun than any gun can furnish"
Accordingly the soi-disant gamester
journeycd out from a small! hotel in Ne
vada to sec the extraordinary plan by
which quail could be "bagged" at night
time. The party walked two miles into
the hills and arranged a trap by laying
down thirty piecesof candle in v shape.
"Into this" they explained. I'VE drive
the quail. and one of us holds sack
At the end Of the v into which the
quail run" By a previous arrange
ment an argument was commenced rs
to who should have the honor of hold
ing the sack and securing the birds
while the remainder did the hard work
of beating them toward the trap.
When the point was apparently set
tied one of the party said: NO, this
is not fair. Mr.. de- is our guest,
and rs such is entitled to hold the
sack" Generously enough TO the
bOastiug sportsman was given the
honor Of holding bag bound at the
mouth to q hoop SO as to catch the
birds. All the others left to beat up
quail. For three hours the visitor
faithfully held that sack. and when
the last candle burned out he found
himself in the midst of lonely valley.
which was full of deserted shafts and
other dangerous holes. two miles from
any house and surrounded by dark
ness which resembled stack OF black
cats. When he arrived at his hotel and
found that his cohunters had been
there enjoying the joke for hours he
simply went to bed and wept. He sold
his gun next morning and left for Cali

A correspondent requests the pub
lication of the most approved method
of killing wcevils and other insects in
grain: As this is the season for crib
bing corn, and as much Of it has weevils
already, this publication is timely.
Carbon bi-sulphide is the simplest,
cheapest and most efficient remedy in
such cases yet discovered. 1t is color
less liquid with very offensive odor,
which, however, passes off completely
in short time. 1t readily volatilizes,
and the vapor. which is very deadly to
insect life, is heavier than air and settles
and fills any compartment or bin in the
top of which the liquid is placed. 1t
may be distributed in saturated rags on
the top of grains in bins, and the gas
will settle throughout the mass. In
large bins, to hasten and equalize the
operation, put a quantity Of the bi-sul.

liquid may be poured and the plug
then loosened with a rod. In moder-
ately tight bins no further precantion
than to close them we'll need be taken.
but in open bins it will be necessary
to cover the top with blanket to pre-
vent the too rapid dissipation Of the

THE euLEs OF AFRICA.


eouee OF the Habits and Cast0ms 0s . Pc
eullar People.
In appearance the people are tall.
we'll formed and graceful. The men
wear small lOin-cloths- The women
wear nothing but n few handfuls of
grass. But they are loaded with orna.
ments of beads and brass and bells.
The men also wear ornaments, but not
in such excess. Both men and women
take great pains with their hair, doing
il ND in the strangest and dirtiest way
conceivable. A common style is to
build it, with the aid Of strips of ham
boo, into three hard ridges several
inches high, running from the front TO
the back of the head Each ridge is
mounted with . close row of common
white shirt buttons. Sometimes card
containing rs many rs six dozen is
sewed on above each ear. The ridges
of hair do not always run fore and aft.
They are often in circles built mp like
story cake, and iced with buttons.
Sometimes q kind Of splash-bosrd is
built ont behind. running from ear to
ear. to hold more buttons. This latter
style prevents their lying to sleep in
the ordinary way. They must place
the neck on the wooden pillow, and let
the head hang over. The hair once ar.
ranged remains undisturbed for several
months 1t forms . convenient place
for wiping their hands Or knives After
dressing it, grease is smeared over
which in the sun melts into the hair
some of it usually passing through and
running down the back. No matter
what color this oil is on going into the
hair, it always comes out black.
The women. moreover, wear . strip
Of monkey skin or goat skin IN incl

across the middle of the forehead. And
beside all this they have bangs al
around the head consisting of loos>
hair strung with beads of all colors
With this glittering headgear and will

body, the women make IN appearanc'
