"A Findley Lake farmer has found
out that by planting onions and potatoes
in the same field in alternate rows, the
onions become so strong that they bring
tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such
vast volumes that the roots are kept
moist and big crop is raised in spite of
drouth. Blizzdrd.
Saturday gentleman stepped into
this office and purchased one hundred or
more old newspapers with which to feed
his hens. He tears the paper into shreds
and soaks it in sour milk until the whole
mass becomes pulp when he feeds it to
the hens, and he claims that it adds great
ly to their gg-prodcuing qualities. The
newspaper is gradually extending its
field OF usefulness. From food for thought
it has expanded, until within its sphere
is already included food for goats and
hens.-E1.
Providence is blamed and credited
with many things that He never had any
thing to do WITH" said Henry Ward
Beecher. Mr.. Beecher then recounted
an instance where little child died and
its parents attributed its death to Provi
dence. Mr.. Beecher said it was no such
thing. The creator had nothing to do
with it. 1t was decayed vegetables in
the cellar which the parents failed to
have taken out in the spring that caused
the disease and death of the child. This
anecdote is seasonable at least.

Wheeler d Dusenbury mill at Endeavor,
had his right foot badly lascerated at an
early hour Saturday morning last. He

cut diagonally back, taking off the four
first toes, leaving only the little toe. Dr.
