The wormy infant, soothed and ap.

 peased for taking the obnoxious yer

 mifuge by being rewarded with the

 empty bottle, is but type of certain phases in human character. Which

 reflection is temporarily caused by

 our observing @ statement in an east

 ern paper to the effect that Arizona s

 ex-chief justice in writing to the [ Department of Justice, said that if

 he was to be removed he would

 rather it should be for his opposition to the public school system than for anything else. In notifying him that his successor had been appointed, the Attorney General added that, since he requested to have his removal if it was decided upon, made upon the school question, he might, if he chose, regard that as the controlling reason.

 Referring to the above The Alta observes that the appointing power was perfectly willing to accommodate the Arizona petitioner: the latter could make the controlling reason himself and it would be all the same at Washington. Doubtless the ex- justice will come to look upon the school question as of some consequence before he gets as snug berth as that given him in Arizona.

 The Chicago Tribune thus dis courses on the matter:

 Judge Dunne, Chief Justice of Arizona, has been informed that he Is at liberty to discover the cause of his removal in the fact of his bitter op-I position to the public-school system. This is gratifying to Dunne who hankered after notoriety impossible through the sluggish channels of merit, but easily obtained by means of this invitation to step down and then out. There were other reasons why Dunne should vacate, but none which could be more sufficient and sat to all parties. The Federal judiciary is well rid of all undesira ble and the opponents of an system of public schools are quite welcome to canonize Dunne as a martyr"

 And then the Washington Chronicle adds straw, as follows:

 What deal of satisfaction must be felt by those patriotic individuals who court martyrdom and find them selves accommodated. Chief Justice Dunne wanted to be removed on the school question, and Henderson on of his personal animosity to -he President. Both requests were granted, and it is hoped they are now happy.

Now is the time to finish sow ing oats. Let every farmer do his duty in sowing a plenty for himself and if he has some to sell. all the better for him and his ncighbors.

 Forage is essential for our ami mals in winter, and at all times for work stock. Oats cut with q mower when in the milk makes splendid hay and not much time is lost out of other crops in har- vcsting Ill this way. Miilet can he Sowed at any time until June and is the best substitute for per 1nanent meadows. German mil. let can be sowed in drills for seed, but broad cast for hay.

 It is a very common error to let forage crops staLd too long before cutting. Oats, millet, and every kind of grass or clover should be cut when in the blossom or in the milk state, as it is called.

 A bountiful supply of forage will save grain and save the health of our dumb animals. I.

Have our cotton planters ever thought of the enormous eNpepse necessary in the fitting up of ma chinery just to prepare cotton for the market, and that the price paid for gins and presses might just as well be put into factories for the purpose of manufacturing the cotton at home. The cotton tie bill amounts annually to S2,- 4j0,000 and the bagging bill to SJ, 250,000 and notwithstanding the farmer gets paid for the welght of his bagging and ties when he sells his cotton bales, yet the amount is offset in the lower price of cotton, and the south pays the bill. Now all these expenses can be avoided by the establishment of factories so near our cotton fields that the cotton in the seed can be deliver cd direct to the factory. A sys

 tenn of thls kind when establish ed, would double our population in a very short time and make home markets for many valuable products that are now neglected simply for want of these markets. A fair estimate of the cost of pre- pairing cotton for the market is say l0per cent. including bagging and ties, and a fair estimate of each bale of cotton is $60, which gives S6 per bale as the cost of preparation for market; now sup suppose that every cotton grower should subscribe, as stock III a factory, $G for each bale he pro duces; every parish and county in all the cotton growing states would soon be able to establish a factory of it's own just by saving the expenses in the simple prepa- ration of cotton bales for market.

 Estimating tie cotton crop at 3,3O0,OO0 bales, this would give S2l 100000 as a factory fund for the cotton states. As a matter of course oil factories would be es- tablished in connection with these cotton factories and the farmer would receive back his cotton

X writer in the Indiana Farmer of November 20th says:

 Some fifteen years ago the hog cholera or something of the kind prevailed in this vicinity to an alarming extent, some of us losing heavily. Taey were stock hogs. It being in the latter part of the winter, as d matter of course for se.f interest I was making every inquiry that could for remedy, l finally met with an old gentle man who lived near Oxford, Ohio, who was a large hog raiser. He told me there was no need of hay i.g hog cholera, or in fact any other disease among. hogs. In proof of which he said he had kept his hogs perfectly healthy for a number of years; he did not use medicine but simply a pre- ventive and a simple one it was. He fed all the ashes that was made at the house the year round feeding it once Il week, and 1T he had as many as a hundred, he would buy more ashes or soap and give them, and said he thought he had not had sick hog since he conimeDced the practice. The remedy was so simple and easy, of course l tried it and to my sat isfaction. My experience has proved about the same, not hay ing had even q sick pIg after it got big enough to eat corn or slop. l throw the ashes in the slop trough or where l feed and put salt on it; or if you have a slop cistcrn put some ashes il it with bran.

No farmer is iustifiable in neg lecting to have a garden for yeget- ables ample enough to supply all the wants of his family. The the ground should be made per fectly rich by maturing. It is best if possible to have south ern or eastern exposure rather than northern, as the warmth of the sun in carly spring is great advantage to all kinds of vegeta- bles, and prevents rotting during long wet spells in summer time.

 To insure good garden it is necessary to have good hot beds in which to give a start to such plants as may need forcing while young. Every one knows so well how to make a hot bed that it is useless to describe one. Deep cultivation IS essential to all root crops, while no vegetable is. worse off for having plenty of good loose soil through which the rootlets can freely seek their food.

 February IS the month when every farmer should look to the vegetable garden, and see that everything is in proper order.

 The vegetable crops can be made to succeed one another SO as to have a continuous supply the year round, provided the l proper steps are taken in this month and followed without neg feet throughout the season,

 Be not too restricted in the variety of vegetables for famr y use for all of them are healthy and cheap when properly prepared 1 and will save much in the way of meats as well as doctors bills. The kinds of vegetable to be l planted, dcpents on the tastes of the family, but almost every one is fond of potatoes, cabbages, beans, peas, tomatoes, turnlps. ocre, salads of different kinds, eel cry, asparagus, eggplant, spinage, salsiliy, lettuce and most of the other things commonly grown in our gardens.

1t happened the other day on the Lehigh
Valley railroad, says the Reading Eagle.
The train had just left Eiston and the
conductor was making his first round,
when he observed a small white dog with
q bushy tail and bright black eyes sitting
costly on the seat beside young lady so
handsome that it made his heart roll over
like lop-sided pumpkin. But duty was
duty, and he remarked in his deprecatorY
manner:


Pm very sorry, madam, butts against
the rules to have dogs in the passenger
cars"


"Oh my, is that SOP" aud she turned
up two lovely brown eyes at him be-
seechingly. "what in the world will |
do9 | can't throw him away. He's
christmas present from my aunt"


"By no means, miss. Well put him
in baggage car. and he'll be Just as
happy as robin in spring"


"What put my nice white dog in
nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage car P"


Pm awlully sorry, miss, do assure
you, but the rules of this company are as
infexibe as laws Of the Medes and them
other fellow you know. He shall have
my overcoat to lie on, and the brakeman
shall give him grub and water every time
he opens his mouth"


81 Just think it's awful mean. so do; ;
and l know somebody will steal it, so
they will" and she showed half notion
10 cry that nearly broke the conductors
heart, but he was firm, and sang out to
the brakeman, who was playing a solo
on the stove.


Here, Andy, take this dog over to the
baggage car, and tell 'em to take just the
best kind of care of him."


The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached over aud picked the canine
up as tenderly as though il was two
weeks old baby, but as he did so strange
expression came over his face, and he
said hastily to the conductor:


Here, you just hold him q minute Till
I put this poker away" and he trotted
out of the car door and held on to th 9
brake wheel shaking like a man with
ague.


The conductor no sooner had his hands
on the dog than he looked around for a
hole to tall through.


"wh-wh-why, this is worsted dog"


Eyes. SIR" said the little mics demure-
ly. Didn't you know thatP"


mo, I'm most awful sorry to say

christmas dog down in the owners lap,
and walked out on the platform, where
he stood half an hour in the cold, trying
to think of hymn tune to suit the worst
sold man on Lehigh roads.

1t would seem from careful investigation Ct
the subject that the canned beef poisoning cases
are not well grounded. Ia certain states Of health
and physical condition, people have become sick
by eating the canned beef who would be similarly
affected by eating any other kind Of food. The
Portland Advertiser says: Canned beef Is so
convenient an article of food, especially in the
summer months, that sudden disease could hardly
break out in any family which had not recently
eaten it. To all housekeepcrs, it will be wei
come news that there is no hidden danger in these
packages. One caution only seems necessary.
The beef when first opened, is perfectly sound
and wholesome. After the air is admitted, the
meat is pershable like other food, and in very hot
weather, it is possible that decomposition may
begin before the tainted flavor becomes very per-
ceptible, so that the beef may affect injuriously
delicate stomachs. With proper care, this need
not occur, and this is the only danger attending
the use not only of canned meats but OF all kinds
of canned goods. Dealers who retail from open
cans cannot be too CAREFUL and should warn their
customers that the meat, unless Immediately con-
sumed, should be kept on ice.
