Chunks OF Wisdom.

A COW must be a hearty eater to be
a good producer.
Driving COWS in hurry is money
losing operation.
A scrub farmer keeps scrub cows.
Scrub cows will make scrub farmer
Cows do not eat alike nor act alike,
and the wise dairyman will make due
allowance for all peculiarities.
The best dairy cowsis the one that
produces the most butter fat every
twelve months on the least feed.
Every farmer should have a tool
house and every implement about the
farm should be housed when not in
use. s.- - 49,
Keep q COW waiting for her feed or
to be milkea and she worries, and
worrying COW is not profitable. Be
on time with milking and feeding.
Farmers who think the dairy
methods of their fathers good enough
for them had better not attempt dairy
ing in these days, Up-to:date dairy
ing only is profitable.
In many cases man may have good
COWS and not know it, because he has
always fed them just enough to get a
poor yield. Before condemning a
COW, thoroughly test her by increas-
ing the quantity and enhancing the
quality of her feed.
Many young men make mistake in
cultivating an antipathy for rural pur-
suits. Certainly there is no more in
dependent life known among men, and
if the farmer who is out of debt and
owns home is not happy, then we
would not know where to turn in
search of ofhappiness.

One of the most peculiar accidents
eysr heard of happened to colored man
near New Store, Va, o few days ago.
Ed Jones took his gun and set out for
day of sport. He was not looking
for large game, but he had not been
in the woods long before he saw an
immense deer coming at tremendous
rate of speed Immediately toward him.
He at once fell upon his knees, pre-
paratory to shot. and when the deer
was within 20 feet of him fred and
missed his aim. The deer had ac-
quired such tremendous momentum
that it could not check itself, and
with the next leap landed upon the
hunter. It knocked him down and
bruised him badly upon the breast
with one hind foot, the other going
into the negro's mouth, knocking ont
number of his teeth, tearing part
of his gums away, and passing down
his throat. The whole thing was over
in an instant, but when he came to

One of the most remarkable of all
the sound producing fishes is found in
China seas, and an account OF it's ae-
tions has been given by Lieutenant
White OF the British navy. He was
engaged in some special work at the
entrance of river, and came to an
chor one night in shallow water. Pres
emily strange sounds began to be heard
coming up. from the bottom. They
were described as resembling the clang-
ing of bells and the beating of drums.
The men were demoralized aud sttrib-
uted the noises to spirits, it being said
that crew of pirates had gone down
there, but the officers were convinced
that the noise was caused by some sea
animals, and investigation showed that
it came from school of fish that
made the sounds by clapping theia
teeth together.
