FARMERS "DoN'Ts. ."-Sarcasm is an
effective weapon, and with it a paper
published for farmers, The Stockman,
seeks to combat the tendency of some
farmers-let US say a small minority
of them-to neglect and ill-treat their
wives. The Stockman publishes this
list of "Don'ts" for the farmer:
Don't try to please your wife.
Don't appreciate one thing she does
Don't ever plan your work 80 as to
be able to take her to an entertainment.
Don't help care for the children ;
that is what you got her for.
Don't fail to invite company to din.
ner on Sunday without letting her
know, so she cannot have a day for
rest.
Don't get the bucket of water from
the cistern when asked; anyone can
pump who half-tries.
Don't fail to ask your wife if she
wants you to do all the house work
when she asks you to put some wood
in the stove.
Don't neglect asking what she has
done with all the egg and butter mon
ey; for it will more than supply the
table, help pay the hired man, get the
children's books and clothes, etc.
Don't wonder that your food has a
peculiar flavor, for it is seasoned with
blasted hopes, sighs or disappointment,
etc.
Don't be surprised to read that the
majority of insane women are farmers
wives.

SOWING GRASS SEED.-One of the
questions being discussed at the farm
ers' Institutes is whether the old.time
custom of sowing grass seed on grain
is as beneficial of good results as SOW
ing the seed alone. 1t is true that the
grain shades the growing grass, but
the stronger root growth of the grain
crop must to a certain extent affect
the young grass. Then there is the
advantage, when grass seed is sown
without using grain land, of thorough
preparation of the soil for the grass
crop, which is not the case when grain
is seeded in the fall and grass in the
spring. 1t is possible that if grass
seed is sown on land that is fine and
ready for the seed it will make much
greater growth than when sown on
grain and thus escape the effects of
the dry season, which usually comes
in summer. On sandy soil clover and
the various grasses may be seeded
down in August, but on clay soil the
frost may throw the plants out during
the winter. 1t is a mistake, however,
to suppose that grass crop cannot be
grown from spring seeding without
the aid of grain crop.

SENATOR MASON ON HIS KNEES
A member of the house tell the Wash
ington Post a story on Senator Mason
concerning lady who keeps loca
clearinghouse. The senator boarded
there for while as did the representa-
tive. The lady belongs to one of the
well-known churches here, and is very
punctual in her attendance on morn
ing services. For this reason she in
sists that her boarders must be dowr
early for breakfast Sunday morning
The senator was not aware of this
regulation, and on his first Sunday II
the house came down stairs rather
late.
"You are not on time this morning
SENATOR" said the lady, gently, bu
rather reprovingly.
"No, madam. I spent half houl
on my knees this morning."
"That was very praiseworthy o
you," spoke up the boarding mistress
"Hunting for a collar button thai
rolled upon the floor and under tht
bureau" declared the senator, con
Guiding his sentence.

A JUDGES ADvICE.-Some years
ago, many farmers along the line o.
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
way brought suit against it, and en-
gagged a young lawyer named Brown
Judge CAN'T, who was presiding, was
compelled to throw many of the cases
out of court because they were i'm
properly brought. Brown was mad
all over. Swelling with indignation
he arose and said:
"Your honor, will you please tell me
how it is possible in this court to gel
Justice against railroad company
Judge CAN'T quietly ignored the
contempt of court shown by the law
yer, and asked:
'Do you wish an answer to thai
question, Mr.. Brown?"
Eyes, sir" defantly replied the in
dignant lawyer; "yes, sir, and want
to know how Il farmer can get bis case
into this court so that it will be heard.
Judge CAN'T smiled and said:
swell, first, Mr.. Brown, I'd advise
the farmer to hire lawyer"
Brown wilted.

The LAST ORDERED.-Once upon
time, up Worcester way, some com
munion wine was wanted, and it sc
happened that the shining light te
whom was intrusted the work of order
ing communion wine was something o.
a high-liver himself. One morning he
called up by telephone house that
sometimes supplied communion wine
and said :
"This is Mr.. So-and-So. Send up to
the church two gallons, just the same
as I ordered last time"
The clerk looked back, and found
that the last ordered was French bran
dy, but, unfortunately, he didn't no.
tice that the brandy had been order
ed for personal use, while the last
church order sent in by the shining
light had been for milder article
The brandy went to the church, and
was passed around. The unsophisti'
Gated thought that the communion
wine had delightful twang to it that
Sunday, but after the service another
shining light winked at Mr.. So-and,
So slyly, chucked him in the ribs, and
said:
"Make it cocktails next time"

COMMENCE TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state. it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILJ.E ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven.
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of q single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker /;
but sends 1t direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay US. Now to our
DropOsitfOnS:

CURRYING Cows.-The brush and
currycomb are far less used on cows
than they are on horses, yet they are
quite as necessary to the animals COM
fort. Who has not seen cattle rubbing
their sides against fence or tree, or
their backs under some overhanging
limbs? 1t not only adds to their com
fort to rub them down, but it draws
the blood nearer the surface, so that
the animal is warmer. With the same
feeding well-groomed cow will keep
in good condition when she would be
scrawny and rawboned if not regular
ly curried or brushed.

The BISHOPS CoNUNDRUM.-Bish-
op Richard Hooker Wilmer, of Ala
bama, once went to New York in the
interest of Confederate orphanage.
He met many Union friends, and was
dined. A story was expected of him,
but he declined, saying he had none,
but would offer a conundrum "Why
are we southerners like Lazarus ?"
There was guessing on all sides Of
the table, such as because you are
poor" because you eat the crumbs
from the rich mans table," etc.
"We're like Lazarus" said the bish'
op, smiling blandly, "because we've
been licked by dogs"
One Of the bishops charms is his
unreconstructedness, and every man
at the table laughed except one, who
Indignantly exclaimed:
"Well, sir, if you think we're dogs,
why in blazes have you come up here
to beg for our money!"
With wink at the rest of his hosts,
the bishop replied:
"My friend, the hair of the dog is
good for the bite. That's why I've
come"

The HoTBED.-Glass gives more
warmth to hotbeds than any other
covering, but where plants are desired
to be grown that are somewhat hardy.
such as lettuce or early cabbage, a
light frame covering made of oiled
muslin answers we'll and is cheap. 1t
can be prepared by stretching the
muslin and painting it on both sides
with boiled linseed oil. 1t is claimed
that cheap fraimes, covered in this
manner, can be successfully used fol
forcing strawberry plants. If a warm
hotbed is required, fresh horse manure
should be placed at the bottom of the
frame and covered with rich soil that
has been sifted.

PRoLoNG CHILDHooD.-Too early
children become men and women.
Our efforts should be to prolong their
childhood, and beguile and enthrall
them with childish pleasures and
amusements. Let them believe with
all their hearts that Santa Claus is q
real person and lover of children,
who visits them all on Christmas eve
while staggering under his immense
burdens, and descends each chimney
to 6ll their stockings. Let magma
ton not be checked, but have full and
free rein. Too soon, yes altogher too
soon, will their eyes be open, and they
discover the hollowness of life, as they
assume duties we would fain have
them escape. Only after they are
men and women need they put away
childish things.

WINTER PROTECTION Of The PEACH.

WINTER PROTECTION Of The PEACH.
One of the most frequent causes OF
failure with peaches is winter killing
of the buds. Anything which will
prevent this without too great e1pen-
diture of time and money, will receive
q cordial welcome from both amateur
and professional. The Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment station, located
at Columbia, describes in bulletin 3S,
a method which is exceedingly prom
ising. 1t is we'll known that peach
buds will stand very low tempera'
ture, Is or 20 degrees below zero, il
the wood is we'll ripened and the buds
perfectly dormant. 1t is the aim OF
every cultivator TO secure well-ripen.
ed wood, but after the trees enter cold
weather in the proper condition, the
prospects for fine crop are frequently
spoiled by warm, sunny days, which
stimulate the buds into more or less
growth, SO that if even moderately
cold weather follows, the buds are de-
stroyed. Experiments at the Missou'
ri station were based upon the fact
that white objects reflect rather than
absorb heat. Thermometers covered
with purple material registered, during
bright, sunny weather, from 10 to over
20 degrees higher than thermometers
covered with white material of similar
texture, thus indicating that whitened
peach twigs might be expected to ab'
sorb much less heat than those that
were not whitened. So trees which
had been sprayed with whitewash re,
mained practically dormant until
April, when unprotected buds swelled
perceptibly during warm days late in
February and early in March. Whiten'
ed buds blossomed three to six days
later than unprotected buds, and 80
per cent. of buds thus protected passed
the winter safely, while only 20 per
cent. of uncovered buds escaped un'
harmed. The method is not expen'
sive and seems to promise great things
for peach growers.

Eggs FRESH For THREE MONTHS.
at is impossible in some sections OF
the country to get perfectly fresh eggs
during the winter season." says Mrs.
S. T. Rorer in the November Lady's
Home Journal. "To guard against
this in summer time, when they are
cheap, pack them in lime water and
they will keep in good condition for
three months. Pour one gallon of boil
ing water over pound of lime; when
settled and cold pour it carefully over
the eggs, which you have packed,
small ends down, in stone jar, and
stand in a cool, dark place. Eggs may
also be packed in salt; anything that
will close the pores of the shell and
prevent evaporation will preserve
eggs"

Not HIS DAY For BEING WHIPPED.
Little Johnny was s years old, there.
fore he could look back to several
Christmas holidays with lively re.
membrance of what they were like,
and what had taken place on those
festal occasions, says Harper's Maya
zine.
One of Johnny's ideas (not original
with Johnny by any means, as many
a parent can testify was that it is a
boys mission to make as much noise
as possible in the world, and, in spite
of frequent admonishing and more or
less frequent whippings, he persever-
ingly carried out the idea on all occa-
sions, except when he was asleep.
Johnny was fulfilling his mission
with more vigor and enthusiasm than
usual on Christmas morning, but no.
body paid any attention to him except
his aunt Jane, who was visiting john
ny's parents during the holidays, and
she finally grew tired of the noise and
said:
"Johnny, it is very naughty to keep
up such din and racket all the time,
and if you don't stop it shall have to
speak to your mother about it."
"Huh Wot good'll that do ?" scorn-
fully demanded Johnny. ..
"Why, she will whip you if you
don't STOP" threatened the young
mans aunt.
"Guess not !" retorted Johnny, with
an air of triumph. "Chris'mas amt
my day fer gittin' whipped. l alters
git whipped the day before Christmas
and the day after, but I never do on
Chris mas"

OLD IDEAs.-There are hundreds of
farmers who are opposed to "book
farming" or what they term "fancy
farming" who believe in giving sick
cow a piece of salt beef to "bring back
her cud." When COW is sick she re-
fuses to eat it is then decided that she
has "lost her cud," and she is treated
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-02-09

for its restoration, when in fact the
chewing of the cud by COW is simply
the forcing of the food into the mouth
from a large storage stomach to be
chewed and then swallowed, the food
passing into a smaller stomach for di-
gestion. Hundreds of cows, however,
are treated for "loss of cud," and their
horns are bored as remedy for "hol-
low horn"
