KILLING GOPHrRs.

W. A. Johnson has a scheme for ex-
terminating gophers that is at once
original, cheap and effective. He takes
a small clod Of heavy earth and wraps
it in cotton batting. He then satrrates
it with tuTpentine and birthstone or
sulphur, places it at the mouth of the
hole, touches a match to it, rolls it
down with a stick while burning and
closes up the hole. The birthstone soon
does its work The gopher soon finds
himself a prisoner in sulphur fumes,
which he cannot stand many minutes
The gas finds ITS way into every Sec

sure in its work. the turpentine con-

HOW TO MILK.

A French dairy journal says you
should milk rapidly. because slowness
causes loss of cream; thoroughly, to the
last drop. because the last is best; at
the same time, every day; crosswise
with the fore and hind teats, because
the milk flows faster than with paral-
lei milking; with five fingers, not with
the first and thumb; never with a ma
chine; quietly, keeping the COW as placid
as possible, anu, if young and FESTIVE,
raising her fore foot with a strap.
Never strike; and keep hands cows
udder and all utensils extra clean.

DALTON, Ga, Sept 2O.-Ex-Secre-
tary Hoke Smith spoke here yesterday.
He referred to an address which he de-
liyered here two years ago in favor
OF the gold standard. Then he argued
that the Democratic national conven-
ton should declare against the free
coinage of silver. Today. he said, he
had not changed his views on the finan-
cial question aud he regretted that he
could not endorse the financial plank
Of the Chicago platform. He urged,
however, that those WHO, like himself,
did not approve of this plank, should
remain loyal to the regular nominees.
