HuMoR IN THE COURTROOM.
Specimens of Irish Wit that Have Com
vulsed Grave Judges.


vulscd Grave Judges.
The quaint repartee and whimsical
humor Of an Irish witness give dllip
of excitement to the dullest courtroom.
Quite recently woman asked for a
warrant against man for using abu-
siye language i'll the street. what
did he say? asked the magistrate.
HE went foreninst the whole world
at the corner of Capel street and call
ed me-yes, he did, yer wuship-an
ould communicated gasomcter."
HE called me out Of me name," said q
witness in case of assault. The
Judge, trying to preserve the relevancy
Of the witness testimony, said:
That's civil action, my good wo-
man." The witness eye flashed fire as
she looked up at the judge and retort-
ed: "Musha, then, If you call that O
civil action it's a bad bla'gard We
must be yerselfv' A witness was once
asked the amount of his gross income.
.sMe gross income, is it?" he answered.
sSure, an We know I've no gross in
come. I'm a fisherman and me income
is all net"
"No man." said a wealthy but rGth-
err weak headed barrister, should be
admitted to the bar who has not an
independent landed property" May
I ask, SIR" said witty and eminent
Irish lawyer, chow many acres make
q wiseacre?' The element Of the I'M
expected, which characterizes Irish
fun, crops out in other places besides
the courtroom. It may be an old
story, but is as perennial as It's sub
iect, of the priest who preached SER
mon on "Grace." "An' me brethren, )"
he said in conclusion, 'if We have wan
spark av heavenly grace, wather It.,

Another priest who had delivered
what seemed to him an excellent and

certain its effect on his flock. Was

admiration that his reverence felt

Cheap Floorim.


We will give a method of making a
floor for henhouse or other places
where heavy animals are not to travel
or teams to be driven over it, that Is
nearly as good and durable as cement
floor and is cheaper. It also makes a
good walk around the house, in places
where it will not be much driven over.
Lay a foundation four to six inches
deep with small stones or the cinders
from the coal ashes, making as nearly a
level surface as possible. Then with
the regular coal sieve get the coal ashes
and add bushel of fresh slaked lime
to each four bushels Of the ashes. Mix
well and let it stand few days, then
add a gallon of salt, and moisten to
thin mortar so that when put on it will
settle down into the stones. Spread two
or three inches thick, and in a few
days give another coating. The more
coatings and thicker 1t Is the longer
it will last. II it is broken by accident
1t can be mended in the same way. 1t
will be ratproof and waterproof; and If
the upper surface Of last coat is smooth
it can be kept clean, and absorbs no
filth or odors.-American CultivatOr.

Ing every part of the bark, thus also
reaching the fungus spores which may
be harbOred there. 1t can also be used
on such as may be ON the ground, or in
the grass and weeds under the trees.
These spores lie there dormant during
the winter months. but start and multi
ply rapidly In the warmer weather, and
especially II it be damp. They are also
agreed that the law against spraying
apple trees when in bloom, to kill the
larva of the codling moth, though en-
acted as protection to the beekeepers,
is really an advantage to the orchard
list. In Niagara and Ontario counties,
New York, many experiments have
shown that when blossoms were spray
ed with paris green strong enough to
kill the codling worms, the blossoms
failed to set any fruit, and usually fell
off much sooner than those not spray
ed. This was seen where one-half the
tree was sprayed in bloom and the
other was not.

Native Grasses.

We believe more attention should be
paid to our native pasture grasses in
the Southwest, and that, instead of
blowing and narrowing, buying seed
and planting, and often waiting two or
more years for a pasture, we should
give the native grasses a chance. We
know of cases where a thorough scar
ification of the soil in February has
without any other effort doubled the
crop of grass. The fact that the ma
tive grasses have taken and held pos
session against all corners shows that
they are adapted to the conditions,
which may or may not be the case with
other grasses. Disking and cross disk
ing are about the thing needed to give
these grasses q new lease of life, and
in many cases it is necessary to their
preservation. Those who try this pro-
cess, we believe, will be surprised at
the vigor of the new growth that will
spring up after this treatment and
after. the first warm spring rains

SPECL FARM kuclkoc' blN(5u ffwzfig
In reply to some criticism Of his
views about Russian apples. Prof.
Hansen, of South Dakota, says in the
Country Gentleman: 1.-THE facts are
that In the sections of the Northwest
where the American varieties fail, the
Russian varieties as a class have
proved superior in hardness and that Is
the first essential. In more favored
regions where American varieties are
commercial success would say, Let
well enough alone In time we hope to
combine the high quality and long
keeping capacity of our best American
winter varieties with the hardness and
freedom from scab Of the hardest Rus
sian sorts, but this work of crossing
will demand patience and considerable
time. The fact remains that the Mime
sofa State Horticultural Society only
recommends three varieties as of the
first degree Of hardness wiz: Hiber-
nal, Duchess and Charlamoff. The
name 'Oldenburg' has not been adopted
by this society, as the old name,
Duchess Is SO well established in Min
nesota that the change would only
cause confusion). Four other varieties
are recommended as Of the second de-
gree Of hardness and Of these two are
American and two Russian. OF the thir-
teen recommended for trial at least
three are Western seedlings of Ouch
ess, three are American seedlings and
seven are Russian. Neither class of APP
pies needs defenders. Leave it to a
vote Of the fruitmen in each locality.
1t is simply question of locality"
