There are fewer lawsuits among farmers now than ever before, which shows there is more intelligence. A nurseryman living near Walla Walla, W.

The political economists declare that if cash payments were always nude, prices could be reduced thirty per cent. The Western farmers have found a new eiiemy in the lawyers, be eaule said farmers have agreed to settle disputes among themselves.

If every milkpail in the country leaked so much as to lose half its contents, the loss would be no greater than the loss arising from bad butter. The Alsike clover is equal if not superior to buckwheat as a honey plant, while the honey produced from it is fully equal to that made from white clover.

Tt the water boil, skimming off ill impurities, before adding the other ingredients.

Use a little more than half turpen tine. This compound, carefully rubbed over the parts with a bit of cloth or sponge, and then washed off with warm soapsuds, will leave the surface as clean as nature ever intended A correspondent writes : "I have found the Whit jWeetSwede tur nip is good for bkfei.ickens cooked and then mashed and mixed with an equal amount ol corn meal Mix it so that it will be as near dry as you can. The same when you mix a potato mash. Mix it too thick' to pour. Potatoes mixed With corn meal I think cannot be beaten to feed laying liens.''

''' :' 4 Recently two young men living in Detroit, anxious to exhibit their nerve, laid a wager with third person, which resulted in some rifle shooting extraordinary. A dozen apples were procured and the gen tleman stood forty feet distant from the other, who shot with a rirle each ot the dozen apples in succession from his friend's head, after the manner of the late William Tell. Not satisfied with that the apple holder produced a common- paste board match-box cover and held it close to his bead, between his finger and thumb, and in that position permitted his friend to fire three shots at it, each going plumb centre. A young man by the name of Calison went to the house ot Mr. Heeves, near Marshfield, Mo., a few days ago, picked, Jip a pistol which was lying in tfie hnlw, and remarked to a daughter of Mr. Heeves that he would shoot her. at the same time presvntiiig.it at her and tiring.
