To BREAK UP A BABY's COLD.-1t
is much more difficult to break up a
baby's cold than an older PERSONS
Oiling the throat and chest with some
penetrating oil every night and laying
warm flannel over it should be done
as soon as a cold is visible. A few
drops of pure olive oil should be given
if there are any signs of a cough. 1t
is wise to oil the bridge of the nose
and over the eyebrows to loosen cold
in the head. Always be careful to
keep baby sufficiently warm. 1t is
safer to have a hot water bag or jug
at the feet. If the cold grows more
severe give a hot bath in a warm
room. Oil thoroughly the entire body
and wrap in fannels and blankets.

SETTING BERMUDA GRASS.

Two Methods For Starting This Never
Failing Summer Pasture Grass.
March is considered the best month,
although the work may be done later,
for setting Bermuda. Bermuda at the
south is never failing summer pasture
grass and when properly cared for pro-
duces abundant crops of fine, nutri-
tious hay. The attention of prospect
i've growers is therefore diverted to the
directions here reproduced from The
Southern Cultivator
In selecting the roots for the purpose
remember that it is only the surface
jointed roots which will sprout. The
fibrous roots underneath will not grow.
Select of these surface roots as many
as are needed and free them from the
soil as far as possible. If they are
thrown into baskets and the baskets
placed in running water, this work
will be accomplished without unEeces
sary trouble. They are then to oe
dried and run through q feed cutter
set to cut long rather than short. 1t
is necessary to have one or two joints
to the piece, or it will not root. Sow
these just as grain is sown, but not on
narrowed land. Sow on the roughly
broken land, then harrow and roll.
Another plan, which some farmers
prefer, is to break up the land in the
late winter or early spring; if poor,
fertilize with cottonseed meal. Lay
off rows about two feet apart and drop
pieces of the roots every Is or 20 inch
es in the furrow, pressing them into
the ground with the foot. Cover as
for corn or cotton and harrow the land
smooth. Bermuda has always proved
such an industrious and aggressive
crop that there has been rather need
less apprehension of trouble should
we wish to destroy it. 1t has been
repeatedly shown that it can be eradi-
Gated, and at no very great expense OF
time or labor, and the smothering
crops of peas, oats and peas again more
than compensate for the expense.

TENANTS AND OWNERs.-Owners
and renters of farms frequently disa.
gree after all arrangements have been
made, one or the other becoming dis
satisfied. This is due to overlooking
the small matters-the details-at the
time of preparing the lease. There
are certain rights possessed by both
parties according to law, but as no
two farms are alike it is not always
that both parties construe the law or
the provisions Of the lease alike, and
for that reason all agreements, even to
the minutest details, should be in
writing, plainly expressed, as verbal
agreements are never satisfactory.

SAVING SIXPENCE.-Patrick, very

THE LEARNED PRoFEssIoNs.-Says
a writer in the Manchester Guardian
"a lady of my acquaintance who is 8

One day, when tenant farmer had
pleaded long and unsuccessfully for an
abatement, he exclaimed, as he handed
over the money:
"'Well, my lady, all 1 can say is
that if I had my time over again, it's
not a tenant farmer I'd be. I'D follow
one of the learned professions
"The proprietress gently replied that
even in the learned professions there
were losses as well as gains, and, per-
haps, he would have found profession
al life as precarious as farming.

Mr.. Topnoody went to the minstrels
last night, and the funny conundrums
and Jokes he heard set him to think
ing. So at breakfast he began on Mrs.
Topnoody. She was warm, and not
very much in the humor for pleasant
ry, but Topnoody slashed away.
II say, Mrs. Topnoody, can you spell
hard water with three letters?"
"No, can't; I might, though, if
you had taken me to the minstrels last
night"
This staggered him little, but not
seriously.
"And you can't spell it? Well

Mrs. Topnoody never smiled, and
Mr.. T. went on:
"Now spell money with four let

"Ha, ha that's too good. A woman
never can get at this sort of thing in
the same clear-headed way man can.
Well, the way to spell it is Cash

Again did Mrs. T. fail to smile, and
Topnoody started out with another.
"Hold on a minute" she Interrupt
ted, looking ugly ;"I've got one. Let's
see if you can get it. Spell 'Topnoo-
dy' with four letters"
Topnoody scratched his head while,
and gave it up.
"Ha, ha !" laughed Mrs. T. "that's
too good. A man can never get at
this sort of thing in the same clear
headed way a woman can. Well, the

But Topnoody never smiled, and the
