FOR TOBACCO USERS. ttnrtllnccrncts for tlio Consumers of tlio Pernicious Clcarotto. Two new cac3 liavo been added with n n, few weeks to tlio hundreds already n record, In which tho Inordinate uso f tho cigarette has been charged with producing fatal results. Whothcr the ihargo is well founded, in tho strictest icnso of tho phrase, is a question on vhich doctors and experts must differ, ut thcro is no disputing tho fact that t tho appctito for tho cigarette had icon strangled in theso eases, life would crtainly have been prolonged. Tim nto Mr. C. F. Woerishofl'or was an in ssant cigarotto smoker, and while tomo of his physicians arc slow to ad ult that this caused his death, his us lociatcs who know his habits of life veil have expressed very emphatic pinions to tho contrary. In tho other nstanco tho victim was a newspaper wy fifteen years old who smoked two ackagcs of cigarettes beforo his broak inst, then fell down unconscious and loamcd at tho mouth. Ho lingorcd for $ time, but failed to rally, and tho doc ors admitted that ho diod from nico Sno poisoning. So general has tho labit of smoking become in recent rears that thcro are very few persons nrho aro not interested in knowing riiat aro tlio prcciso risks and dangers lioy incur in indulging in tlio weed. A prominent physieiun, who is quoted is nn authority in blood poisoning and icrvous disordora, said: "Thcro is no tdago moro truo than that which do ilarcs that what is ono man's meat is mother man's poison, ami this has spo jlal forco when wo speak of tobacco. Some can not touch tlio weed without uifloring, while others may uso it with jerfect safety almost to excess." "What aro tho evil cd'ecla following from injudicious smoking?" "Tho first pcrccptiblo effect is pal pitation of tho heart, which sometimes Jccomcs very violent. If the smokor Iocs not take warning and stop on tho ippoaranco of this symptom, nausoa, romitlng and great lassitude will fol ow. Eventually the troublo will be lomo chronic, tho throat will grow raw ind fioro, tho stomach will beeomo un iblo to retain or digest food, and tho nost deplorable state of exhaustion results. Tlio blood is not poisoned, towovcr, in tlio technical medical sonso f tho term. II is only an evanescont poison which will gradually disappear mdor tonio treatment when tho smok ng habit is dropped." "What is the most hurtful form of udulgonco in tobacco?" "Ueyond all controversy, tho cigar Jtto." "For what reason?" "Tho cigarotto is rosponslblo for nl nost nil tlio evils caused by tobacco. Srowing boys commence to uso them cforo their physical powers aro devol ved, tlio coating of their stomachs xieomes ruined nntl their growth stunt d. They will often become weak, juny men, and iu tho Interest of hu manity a stringent law should bo pass id making it n penal offense for boys to smoke or for dealers to sell oigar ittos to them. Such a law is in force tn Franco. Clgarotts aro so cheap that ivory boy can procure them, and they iro now very generally sold In broken packages, so that they can buy ono or twoconts' worth. This is nothing short f criminal. Tho cigarotto is woso than :h6 cigar or pipo, because the burning paper, which is often said to bo poison 9 us, adds an extra irritant. Cigarette imorkors, for some reason, never know R-Iion to stop, and almost invariably lrill into excess. Some years ago showing was all the rage, but it is now sonsidercd a vulgar habit, and unfor nmatoly cigarotto-siuoking, which is !ar moro hurtful, has taken its place." "Is it true that smoking dims the ilghtP" "Smoko affeetft the sight through tho jptlo nerves, and some few oasis aro on record whore men have been rendered Itono blind by the excessive uso of to jacco, but such eases are vory rare." Dr. Slirady is a moderate smoker. Flo said tho oxtont to which a man jould safely indulgo in the uso ot tobao ;o depended entirely on his tompera sient and constitution, and that In this regard, ovory person must bo a law unto ilmself. It would bo absurd to make iny goncral rulo. Persons of weak Iraino and highly norvous temperament ihould avoid smoking altogether or ihould bo very abstemious iu the use of tho weed, in some eases Miioklng may bo of positive beueiit when not iudulg Kl In to excess, lie Mild that young aoya should not be permitted to uso to bacco iu any form until their systems tro developed, and was uuqualitied iu tho denunciation of the cigarette, which ituntod the growth and impaired the fltality of the young. A gontleinan of sedentary habits of life, who had been a heavy cigarotto linokor for many years, and who dropp id tho habit on tho advice of his phy ' ilclan, gave his experience. Ho said! I found myself indisposed for work, mablu to rolish my meals, and gen iraily prostrated, but continued to iniokri on as usual, never dreaming that the cigarotto was responsible for my jonditlon. I consulted several doctors, A'ho could not divine tho wuiso of my trouble. At last one of thorn detected that I was a cigarotto Miiukur, ami told ate I must make up toy mind to stop, r to dlo. At this time my heart wus palpitating ono hundred and twenty to the minute. I discarded the cigarette, went under tonic treatment for a few months, and to-day 1 am as well as over." Tho editor of a publication dovotcd solely to the tobacco interests insisted that thcro was nothing hurtful in tlio uso of tobacco, and in proof of his asser tion cited that smokers and chewers aro as long-lived as other people Of the small boy and tho cigarette, ho said: "Wo have always opposed cigarette smoking by youths in our columns. Something should bo dono to prevent boys from smoking. As a rule, thoso who indulgo in the vice at nn early ago become dwarfed in mind and body, and good-for-nothing men; and their chil dren, should they livo to havo any, will bo more offeminato than them selves. Tho law should step in and stop this epidemic of juvenile cigarette smoking." New York Mail and Ex press. KENTUCKY MOONSHINERS. How tho Cownrdly Outlaws Mnlc Wnr Upon Their Opponents. Tlio scenes enacted in Rowan county last year which exhausted the judicial and executive resources of Kentucky arc being re-enacted on a changed scale in tho adjoining county of Elliott this leafy and summery season, writes a Sinking Creek, Ky., correspondent of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho county Is named for tho appeliato court judge who was shot to death by the maniac Huford in tlio streets of the capital city, tills state, six years ago. Tlio county scat is called Sandy Hook, probably bc causo thcro is a bar there, without, however, any referenco to ocean navi gation. The present complication differs from tho murderous and gory business in Rowan county only in tlio unimportant dotail that in tho former tho warcry was blood, and in Elliott county it is de struction; llioy bushwhacked in ltowan county, and non commissioned vandals run riot iu Elliott. Tho issuo was drawn two weeks ago, when Mr. I'nrton, a prominent citizen of tho county announced himself op posed to killing United States doputy marshals, and in favor of no whisky, or as tlio best compromiso ho would agree to, thnt manufacturers should pay tho government a certain sum yearly, if not per gallon, recognizing in a manner Uncle Sam's sovereignty and right to tax. Mr. I'arton placed himself on the platform of a law-abiding, taxpaylng, thoroughly-reconstructed, and patriotic citizen, but his remarks drew down up on him tho hatred of tho moonshino whisky-makers of this godforsaken country, who havo reveled iu the cheap, unlawful, and intoxicating mountain dew since tho timo tho "memory of man runneth not to tlio contrary," without tho intervention of inspection, taxation, or any other troublosomo middlemen's mode's, and without re sorting to thick staves or ignorant and awkward employes. From tho timo that speech was dis sected and thoroughly understood Mr. I'arton and his adherents were marked men marked in tho sense that every man who took tho negative of the prop osition lie had laid down was camping on his trail with powder and ball; and when il is taken Into account that a Kentucky mountaineer is a suro shot, it can readily bo soon that this phrase means toars and crape and grave yards. Tho party who thought they had a right guaranteed them by the constitu tion to got drunk whenever they want ed to on untaxed whisky considered that they would lie striking I'arton and his partisans a blow iu tlio vital part by burning a baptist church and, by tho way, tho only ono in tho county of which I'arton was a communicant. Thou they burned his house; then pois oned twenty-eight lioad of his cattle; then stuck tho torch to the houses of throo of his partisans viz.: James Pennington, Tobias Cox, and Samuel Slater. It was about three small Homes burning, and nearly one hundred modern-armed Xoros llddling. Just along about this junoturo Mr. I'arton and his friends thought things were getting serious, nud, banding themselves, tlioy went gunning for In cendiaries. Monday noon they camo up with two men named Simons and Turkison, and these mon having for bidding looks and a general air of don't-earo-a-cont-or-a damn either, they opened tiro on tho ill-looking agricul turists, and Messrs. Slmens and Turki son wore buried without the lonuality of a coroner's jury. This is tlio first mountain vendetta in Kentucky within my knowledge (and I havo made a btudy of a great many of them) In which polities did not form the foundation. I am afraid that Mr. I'arton and his law-and-order allies will bo outnumber ed, ami have a hard timo. Iu tlio mountains revenge is a motto branded in the brain of children. "Vengeanoo is mine; 1 will ropay, saith tho Lord," is good scripture, but theso creatures aro suoh slow pay, uud this is such an easily bottled debt, that they seem altogether unwilling to strain their credit by drawing on foreign counties, so they settle their hate bills on sight.

Get tho animals designed for meat on grass. Never plow up a good sod, as It will pay best. Reports from the I'anliandio of Texas indicates that tho calf crop in that country is large. Let no animal bo placed whero it will bo helplessly threatened by a stronger one with no chance of escape. A man may have the best known breed of fowls, and if they aro not properly cared for they will not givo satisfaction. Now is an excellent time to push young pigs, as they grow very rapidly after tlio weather commences to be come warm. Celery grown upon a clay soil is more solid and better llavorcd than that grown upon muck, but it does not grow bo tall. Grass seed is generally covered too deep. Use a roller or brush harrow, or else do nothing and let tho tirst rain cover it in nature's way. A soil but five inches deep can not bo worth as much as another that gives free scope to tlio roots of plants to whatever depths they may penetrate in search of nutriment. A correspondent to the Itural New Yorker, speaking of tho treo peddler., says: "Man can often tell what ho can do himself, but it is hard to go bonds for a treo that somebody elso is going to handle." I5y keeping land in clover, cutting the lirst crop and plowing under thu second, a New York fanner produced 100 bushels of shelled core per acre. Tho fertilizer used was a handful of hen manure around each hill of corn. In tho caro of eggs while waiting for hatching a placo is preferred that is neither hot nor cold, damp nor dry. If tho eggs aro to bo kept but a little while turning them every day will an swer, a box or basket being sufficient. Now is the time to prepare for bluo grass winter pasture. Let it grow from tli is timo on undisturbed, and for fall, winter and early spring pasture it will be worth moro per acre than tlio everlasting cropping of grain. If a farmer makes but littlo effort, and is content to drive an old scrubby team, and scatter a little fodder to "old Hrindle," while sunlish hogs and hairy, worthless sheep complete the livo stock outfit, that man is a miserablo failure. The dwarf varieties of celery aro now preferred over tho taller onos. They are less expensive to grow as allowing a greater number of plants to the acre, are quito as productive, whilo they bring as much, and often more, iu tho market. Tho last month or so of a pig's life lias a great influence upon the flesh of tho animal. You can put on tho franio all through the year, but tho flavor is largely determined by the feeding dur the latter period of fattening. Tlio same is true of all animals. A Southerner writes to tho Country Gentleman to say that all cotton seed fed to stock should be well cooked. Tlio cooking does away with all injuri ous effects. Tho writer had used cot ton seed in his herd for eleven years, consuming nearly 10,000 bushels in that time, with no unfavorable results whatever. Don't let tlio hogs have access to brine that has had meat in it. A party who had Poland-Chinas advertised a public sale. On the morning appoint ed a bucketful of beef brine was thrown into tho lot, and by the time tho crowd assembled and the auction began sev oral of tlio hogs were dead and others wore dying. Tho Indiana Farmer mentions an oxperiment reported to tho Hush County Club, indicating that iu one in stance at least gate posts .et top-end down were still s-ound after .seventeen years, while those placed in tlio usual position rotted badly. Under another test "salt put into tlio post holes pre served the posts, keeping them sound and dry." It is impossible, a.s tho Journal vj Agriculture, to predicate upon the facts we have, anything at all certain as to the outcome of tlio wool business this season. Hut after due consideration of these facts, it is at least fair to infer thnt tho average of prices obtainable will bo little, if any below those re ceived from the sumo grades in tho last dx months. A cold, dump soil, with a hard im oervious subsoil, is not suitable for a garden, and beforo it can be properly utilized should bo well drained. For garden purposes, if the tile drain has been laid, tho trenching system is best for such soils. Any method that per mits it to rid itself of suplus molsturo, and allows tho air and heat to enter, will bo boneticlal. Tho American Agriculturist advo cates tho feeding of unthroshed oats to horses, saying that for grain to bo well digested it is necessary it should be eaton with somo sort of stover. Wo may cut the hay, mix it aud the grain together, and moisten tho mixture; but wo accomplish the same thing moro economically by feeding unthrehed oats, for then tho grain, all tho chaff aud a part of the straw aro masticated together.
