AGRICULTURAL.
SOr1E THINGS 1T WON'T PAY TO
DO.

The following are some of the things
it is not profitable for the farmer to do:
He should not try to farm without
manure, and should not plant more
acres than he can take good care of.
He should not work with old and poor
tools nor SOW unclean seed. He must
not keep poor stock, as poor COW eats
as much as a good one. He should not
buy at public sales what is not needed
b ,cause it sells cheap. Hogs, sheep
and cattle should not be allowed to
wander at their will over their owners
and the neighbors' premises. The
blrnyard should not drain into
the public road nor into stream, as is
often the case. Cattle should not be
allowed to eat fodder from the stack; it
saves a little labor, but waste will
make the farmer poor. To leave tools
of any kind lying out in the weather OF
to put them away uncleaned, is bad
practice. Cattle must not be be turned
out onto bare fields in cold weather.
An orchard should not be planted and
the cattle allowed to browse the trees.
Vacant places should not be left in q
young orchard, nor should a young
orchard remain in grass too long. Oi
OF course, all farmers know weeds
should not be allowed to occupy any
portion of the farm, and bushes should
not occupy several rods of ground along
the fence or road. 1t is a thOughtles:
and very dangerous thing for farmel
to put his name on any paper presented
by stranger. 1t is careless to bu.
trees of perfect stranger, also grocer
les and such articles as are easily adul
terated. Nine times out of ten one will
be cheated by SO doing. Buy of you
home merchandise. w. Clark, il
Prairie Farmer.

TO BE SURE.
A CRYING NEED.

For years the two beautiful doors at
the entrance of the white house have
been grained in imitation of black wal
nut, but in the spring cleaning this year
Col. Bingham ordered the paint scrap
ed off so as to have them done over. To
the astonishment of everybody, it was
discovered that the doors were of solid
mahogany and of beautiful grain. Col.
Bingham ordered them restored to their
original native condition, and is now
trying to find out what fool had them
painted.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN

A battery of artillery consists of six
guns.
Every German regiment has a chirop-
odist in its ranks.
No fewer than % members of parlia-
ment have gone to the front.
Two years ago the Beers had in their
pay Is German officers, 40 French and
10 Russians.
Fort Tuli,> the headquarters of Col.
Plumer's force, commands the roads
to Victoria, Buluwayo, Mangwe, Ma
feking and Pretoria.
1t is generally supposed that more
men are killed by artillery than in
fantry fire. This is totally erroneous
notion, as from medical reports it
would appear that the rife is respon-
sible for nearly 80 per cent. of our
killed. In the Franco-German war it
was estimated that $500 Germans were
killed by rife bullets, and only 695 by
artillery fire.
Teplitz, small watering place in
Bohemia, claims to have been the
birthplace of Gen. Cronje, the Boer
commander who surrendered at PAIR
iceberg. 1t is stated that the generals
father was Frenchman and a cook
to Charles X. On his arrival at Teplitz
the ex-cook opened hotel. He is said
to have married Czech maiden. The
family name originally was Cronier,
but was corrupted after the Croniers
emigrated to the Transvaal.

DEATH OF MAUD S.
Famous Trotter Long known a. the
Queen Of the Turf IL No
More.

New York, March 19.-Old Maud S.
is dead. The grand old trotting mare,
aged IS years, passed away at the farm
of John H. Schults. near Port Chester,
Saturday, and she is to have funeral
such as becomes an animal of her
breeding, station and performances.
She was queen of the trotting turf in
the days of the high-wheel sulky, and
no horse hitched to the style of vehicle
has ever beaten her record of 2:OsA
on regulation track. Alix (2:03A),
Nancy Hanks (2:04), Director (2:05X) J.,
Arion (2:07A;,> and others have done
wonders with the pneumatic sulky, and
have monopolized the attention of the
latter-day devotees of harness racing,
but the old-timers refuse to admit their
performances were greater than that
of Maud S. Her owner, the late Robert
Bonner, maintained until the last that
she was the greatest trotter that ever
put foot on a track.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, her owner, sold
Maud S. to his friend, Robert Bonner,
for 100000, knowing she would always
be accorded the best of treatment, and
never allowed to race for money. She
was put in the hands Of w. w. Bair,
who reduced her record to 2: O9N. Then
the late John Murphy took her and she
did still better. trotting mile in 2 :09A
at Lexington, and later in 2:OSA at
Cleveland. Maud S. was retired abso-
lutely in 1886.
