Some Don'ts for Farmers.

Don't let another year pass without
keeping strict book account of your
business.
Don't go to town to loaf around ana
talk politics every Saturday, or a.iy
ether time.
Don't claim to be an advocate of good
reads and then buy narrow tired
wagon.
Don't think of buying a new wagon
with less than four-inch tires. Six
would be better.
Don't deny your wife a new hat and
at the same time buy yourself a fresh
supply Sf tobacco.
Don't fail to plant patch of sun
flowers for the poultry. 1t is fine food
for variety.
Don't leave the stove wood out in the
rain and then seold If breakfast is not
ready on time
Don't forget that it is waste of time
for farmer to lose an average of half
an hour a day in feeding his cattle for
the lack eff a, few conveniences. One
may be busy and yet idle.
Don't go to the expense of buying
commercial fertilizer exclusively when
the land can be benefited by a crop of
clover plowed under every few years To
Tighten and mellow the soil.
Don't fail If possible to make every
rock and corner of the farm produce
something this season. Make the most
Of what you have.
Don't neglect to harrow the meadows
and pastures. for it tears the roots and
tends to thicken the grass. Tt also de-
atfoys mess which may grow on badly
drained or cold ground. 1t is some
times as essential to harrow these fields
as it is TO cultivate the COMMISSIONS

Mrs. Lucien Jewett Of East stone
ham had a thrilling experience during
the latest heavy thunder shower there.
She was in the kitchen when lightning
struck a tall tree near the house, one
branch Of which hung over the ewes.
The electricity went through the wall
into the chambers, shattering shingles
and plasterlng in its course. then after
lifting a cover from q jar and setting it
down carefully, and lifting a chimney

first public announcement and discus

meeting Of the State Grange at Bangor,
in December, 1895. The matter was

could be done in raising a fund. Owing
to the fact that Good Will Farm was

CAGIIB FEVER
Experiments Which, If Sue
eessful, Will Revolutionize
Trade in Live Stock.

DENVER. Col, Sept. II, 1S97.-After
many months of effort repeated ex-.
periments a, cure for cattle fever has been
found. DR.. v. A. Norgard, of this city,
is the discoverer. The plan for dealing
with the fever is primarily to exterminateH
| the insect known as the 'stick," which
hounds on fever-stricken cattle, and
through the means of which the disease
is communicated. To do this the cattle
are forced to swim through a solution in
a vat.
What the solution is it is not known at
the present time, but crude petroleum is,
used. When the successful experiment
was tried twenty-seven head of very
'fticky'' cattle were forced to swim
through the solution, and it was noticed
| that while standing on the drip-board
there was almost a perfect rain of ticks
falling off the cattle. They were put in a
pen and the next day, just seventeen
hours after the experiment vas tried, a
rigid examination was prosecuted and the
examiners failed to find a single live tick
in the whole herd.
If the new remedy proves to do all that
it is claimed it can do, the cattle market
will experience somewhat of a revolution
and about 100000 head of cattle will be
shipped north each year during the now,
prohibited season, which extends from
February Is to November 10. The fever.
line, from beyond the limits of which no.
cattle can be shipped to the north during.
the prohibited period, as it now stands,
stretches from ocean to ocean, and Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Texas, Indian Terri.
tory, Arkansas. Mississippi. Alabama. Vir-
ginia, part of West Virginia and.
Louisiana from the district affected.
A meeting of all States and Territories
that handl cattle has been called to meet
in Fort Worth on September q, and at
this meeting it is expected the new
scheme Of dipping cattle will be shown
| and should it prove a success there, many
of the States will be ready to so modify
their laws that the cattle of the South
| can enter the Northern markets.

TIE CASE OF HUGH SHAW.
II Is Not Believed sB'ihat Pastor Par-
ker VIII Reyiye 1t.

The statement recently published in a
Jersey City paper to the effect that the.
case of Hugh Shaw, who was convicted
of .intoxieation and sentenced to suspen-
sion from privileges of the church by the
ruling elders of the Second United Pres
byterian Church of Hancock avenue,
would be considered on appeal at the
meeting of the General Synod which will.
be held in that church on October 10, is
denied by many members of the eongre-
cation, AND it is asserted that the Rev.
James Parker, the pastor, has entirely
dropped the matter of the appeal from
decision of the New York Synod,
which reversed the findings of the lower
court. Some of the reverend gentleman,s
friends say that the appeal was taken
without the pastors knowledge or con-.
sent and during his absence from the
Synod meeting.
This case has attracted considerable at
tentien by reason of the publicity given.
to it by enemies of the Rev. James
Parker pastor of the Second United
Presbyterian Church. Hugh Shaw, a
young man, a member of the church, was.
tried by the ruling elders on a charge of
intoxieation about a year ago. He de-
MED the charge made by another member.
of the congregation, but the decree of
the court was that he should be admon-
ished. 5rebuked and suspended from all
privileges of the church. Shaw appealed
this finding to the New York Synod on
the grounds that it was unnecessarily
severe and the finding was reversed by
the higher body, the opinion beingsthat in
view of the circumstances and as it was
the first offence alleged against Mr.. Shaw,
admonishment was sufficient punishment.
This was appealed from by a friend of
the pastors during his absence.
THE case created a division in the
church at the time and its revival now by
the newspaper in question is believed to
be for the sole purpose of creating a dis
turbance in the congregation, which has
since become happily united.

GROCERY WAGON UPSET.
Horse Belonging TO James Hanks
Runs Away WIthSDisastr0us Results

A small bay horse, attached to a light
grocery wagon belonging to James Banks,
a grocer at the Five Corners, ran away
this noontime when the driver was de-
livering an order in a house on Pavo-
mia avenue. The horse became frightened
at a passing train i'll the cut, and he
started off on a gallop toward the Boule-
ward.
In turning the corner, at the Boule-
ward, the rear wheel struck the curb
and going over a pile of stones, about
three feet high, upset within about two
feet of the Pennsylvania Railroad cut;
and had it not been for several men
quickly grasping the struggling horse,
who had been thrown down, both wagon
and horse would have fallen over the
bank into the cut. over a hundred feet
below.
The wagon was demolished and the
horse was cut in several places. The
WACO at the time of the upsetting, was
filed with groceries abou TO be deliv-
cred. These were scattered over the
road in all directions and completely
ruined.

1t is certainly strange to see the
s'Tribune" urging that it is a good thing
to keep "a law on the statute books, not
with any design to enforce it, but simply
for moral reasons. Yet such is the
astonishing position, which it takes up
today. It says
The New Jersey Liquor Dealers AS
interests in deciding not to ask for legis-
lation permitting saloons to remain open
during certain hours on Sundays. In all
the large own of the State there is
now a considerable Sunday business done
by most of the saloons, and there seems
to be practically no effort to stop this.
SO long as, fthe traffic is conducted so
quietly and unobtraSiveiy as not to
annoy or offend citizens who wish to see
the day respected. But the moment that
any s-aloonkeeper permits his place to be
the scene Of trouble, noise, disorder or un-
seemly exhibition, the law puts a club
into the hands of offended people by
which the nuisance may be promptly sup
pressed.
10 legalize h Sunday traffic would be
another matter entirely.
Yes, it would be a very different matter.
IT would be the substitution of honesty
and good sense. for subterfuge, phari-
seeism and unreason.
The joke on the s'Tribune" is that it
was one of Teddy Roosevelt's Sunday
crusade on the express ground that the
law should he .rigfdly enforced.

Cats and swallow.

Some of the readers may be interested
in this incident. which happened recently.
We took our two cats in to a field above
our garden one evening; a door led from
the dogs, says the London Spectator
There were a great many swallows flying
about, | uppos young birds and their
parents. Suddenly one flew down close
to the older cat and screamed at it, flying
as suddenly away again. The old cat did
not like this. and made a few steps to-
ward the door, which was some way off.
Down came the bird again and screeched
again within a couple of inches of the
cats face. This was too much, and the
cat flew to the door and sat there, much
agitated, when dow swooped the bird
again close, and yelled again at the cat,
and over the cat went to the garden.
We were left laughing and wondering.
and the other cat much interested, when
down came the swallow again and gave
the scream as before into the cats face.
This cat put out her paw and then fled
over to the door into the garden with no
and the swallows were left in
possession of the field. We tried the next
evening to induce one Of the cats to fol-.
us intoSthat field, but she refused;
she evidently thought IT too ~uncanny.
