A Minnesota fanner boliovos that no fodder is ciptal to iteen atnlueane for producing butter. An application of lyo will ve.-lore to rough trunks and branches of tnvhard trees thoir original smoothness. .Milk being a complete food, it cannot i be produced unless complete- food is Ighen tho cows for that purpose. All kinds of licld niico arc rapidly di-appcaring in Fiiglaud. The dor mouse is reported as nearly extinct in several counties. Petroleum, it i- said, will often cure chicken cholera if given in time. A tablespoonful in a pint of meal fed to the liens is Mtllieient. Let your onions grow until the lops fall, then pull them up. They should he allowed to become dry and be stored in a cool place. Make a harness lit properly and a horse can wear it without distress, pro vided that it. is kept decently clean and comfortably soft. A Kansas shepherd lias a tlock of 8eventee.it head of Cotswold sheep that clipped an average of seventeen and a fjuarter pounds to tho head. A remarkable property of the ico plant, is the absorption of salt, a fluid exuded by its leaves having been found to eonta'n Jill per cent of sea salt. Horses will go eight and probably ten hours without food, if properly fed at evening and morning. They should have water mote frequently, but never when hot. A few trees, evergreens andlloweriug fhrubs planted among tho hives help to remove the sameness of (lie scone, and in summer give a grateful shade to the bees and their keeper. When hogs are eating clover or green .stuff, give them access to char coal or ashes. Charred corncobs make an excellent charcoal. Dry corn is good feed with clover, as it bal ances the ration. Soapsuds may bo advantageously used around tho pear and pcaeli trees. It is quite an undertaking to carry them to an orchard, but thcro are trees and grapevines usually grow ing near the house and kitchen which Will bo greatly benefited by tho uso of the suds. This is well to know in calculating the size to build a silo, says the Dairy man. A cow should bo fed from fifty to sixty pounds of silage a day, if she receives no other fodder with her ground food. A cubic foot of silage weighs fifty pounds. From this data you can readily figure out the size of the- silo needed. Prof, Shelton, of the Kansas Agri cultural college, says in lus last re port that tho time to sow grass sned in Kansas is, without exception, in tho spring, and recent cxporienco shows that this work should not. ho undertaken too early in the season. Seed sown after the spring rains have fairly set in has never failed him since 1871 to give a good stand of grass. Mares in foal should not be eonlined too closely to the stable, but should have exercise in open lots, where they can pick a few bites of grass every pleasant day. I5e-ides this, their food should not bo heating but of a laxative nature, so that it will keep the system in a healthy condition. The colt will come in much belter condition and bo prepared to grow the more rapidly if the maro is thus cared for. Canada thistles, if tho patch bo not too large, can lie got rid of in a year or two by pulling them carefully with a glovo any time before tho seed ripens enough to grow; with care, tho stalk breaks oil' several itielies below (ho ground, and this discourages them greatly, bo, too, dock, mullein, bog gar lice, etc., can speedily bo obliged to vacate, if there are not loo many to pull by hand; and this way is often not so tedious us ono would at first sup pose. If farmers will grow a Hold of fod der corn they will find that it requires less labor in proportion to yield of pro duct) than any other crop that can bo grown, ft may he sown very thickly in the rows, and 6hould bo harvested just when in tho milky state, so as to nrrost tho nutritive mutter in the stalk us it is passing on its way to tho cars. Such a crop is quickly grown, needs no hoeing, can bo cultivated ono way and can bo .carr od as soon as cut di rectly to tho barn for storage. Curing ltlout In Cattle. Tliore tiro fow cases of bloat or hoveu in cattle dur Dg tho summer, but after autumn rains set in succeeding a prolonged drought, grass sometimes epr ngs so lu&h as to catiso bloat. A plan said to have boon successful on ranches in Arizona, slated by tho Pino nix Herald, whore ctttlo became bloat- cd on alfalfa, is to construct a trench in the corral, with a bank thrown up on one side, perhaps eighteen indies or two feet high. As soon as a cow is observed to be bloating -and a constant watch is kept on them while feeding she is driven into tho corral and made to stand with her hind feet in the trench and fore feet upon the hank. The re sult is that the gas in the stomach of the cow immediately begins to belch oft' and tho animal is soon entirely re lieved. Out of sixty bloats in a day this plan is reported to have proved ef fectual in every ease. When, however, a cow is too far gone before observed, which is when she begins to moan and grunt, sticking is resorted to, but this lias occurred in only six instances this summer. So far Mr. J. 15. Montgomery, tho gentleman to whom tho plan sug gested itself, has not lost a single head out of liis largo herd. The cattle are kept in the corral at night, however. St. Louis Jlcpublican. "Wheat Sowlnsr. During our farm experience of twen ty years, every year of which we have raised wheat, we fancy we liavo learned one or two things; that is for a light or sandy soil, though as a matter of fact a sandy is heavier than a clay soil. One of tho things we liavo learned is to plow tho oat stublo as soon as possible after tho harvest. Oats in our rotation always peeedes wheat and timothy seeding. Whether farm manuro is spread or not, our wheat scams to bo benefited bv a light dressing of si com ploto fertilizer just before sowing. Tho land is thou rolled and harrowed For several years wo rolled both before and after seeding, but were convinced that it is not a good tiling to do. Tho rolled surface bakes and causes tho rain, instead of soaking directly into the soil, to form gutters and to run in littlo streams here and there. It also appeared that wheal rolled after seed ing did not stand the winters as well, being killed out in places. Who can rationally advise farmers in general as to tho quantity of wheat that had best bo sown per acre? Wo can not. Some wheats tiller littlo, others a great deal. Tho amount of seed wheat must bo determined accordingly, Is your land light or heavy, well or im perfectly drained, rich or poor? Kvory farmer must consider these questions for himself and sow accordingly, from caretut experiments niauo years ago wo settled upon ono and a half bushels to tho aero for either Clawson, Silver Chaff or VuUx.Jtttral New Yorker. An Uncertain Test. Thcro is a homely old saying that "You can not tell by tho looks of a cat how far it can jump." It is equally impossiblo to judgo by tho croam-gaugo how much butter can bo made from givon amount of milk. I ho question how much cream, by measure, was re quired to make a pound of butter canto up last winter, and was roferred to tho highest practical authorities in tho West upon dairy matter. It elicited tho fact that tho quantity soniotimea varied fully one-third, and even more, oomo mull iiirowiug up twenty por cent of cream will be as rich in butter fats as other samples showing thirty per cent. These variations may bj caused by difference in food, temper aturo of milk whon sot, or other cir cumstauces. Whatever may bo tho cruises, tho fact is well established j-iio cream gttago is, tliorofore, a very uncertain test of a cow's valtto for but ter making. Prairie Fanner. Tho Weakness of the Flesh. It is easier to forget a wrong titan it is to remombor a favor. "I can for give him," said a man. "Ho did mo a great wrong, but I forgive him." "You have not been on good tortus with Jackt'on," a friend replied. -'Do you forgive him?" "No," after a moment's reflection, "I cannot bo on good terms with him." "Did ho over do you an1?ijury?" "Yes, tiro greatest of nil injuries. Ho loaned mo money, and I can't pay him. Let mo tell you something. You have road of groat deeds of horoism, of won derful solf-sacrilico, of men made glo rious by coming undoiilod out of somo groat temptation, but tho man who is unablo to pay a debt of honor and who can still have a kindly fooling for his benefactor, is greater, than heroes, purer of heart and soul than tho man who has proved himself to bo above temptation.

A land turtlo got In front of Jacob Crldor's self-binding reaper, noar Grcencustlo, Pa., had a hind log cut off, and was taken up and bound in a sheaf of wheat, whore ho was found by tho thresher soven wcoks later. Tho place whore tho Jcg had heon cut oil was nicely healed, OLD WALPOLE'. A "Vow Hampshire Town that ! l'nr tlcillurly tiitercstlnc to the His torical Mmlcnt. Two important events have given thic part of the Connecticut valley an al most pre-eminent interest for the his torical student, writes a.Wulpole, N. II.. correspondent to The Jioluu Atl rcrti.icr, and. indeed, there arc ftw enrs oil dull that they do not tingle at t he tales that are told of what was done here. In the old Walpolo buraig ground the visitor is shown a tomb stone on which is engraved the follow ing: In memory of John K lbourn, who departed this life April 8, 178'J. in the 85th year of his age. He was the fust settler of the town in 1719." During the French and Indan warn scheme was concocted in CanaFi in ac cordance w.th wh eh a band of miiio four hundred savages was sent fort to destroy all tho white settlements on tho Connecticut river. On the 17th of August, 17.V), the Indians attacke 1 tho cabin of John Kilbourn. Walpol was then nearly, if not quite, the highest point on tho river wliero settlements of whito men had been establish ed, and tho Kilbourn place, al though no longer the only civil ized habitation in tho vicinity, was too far from any other to make it possiblo for the family to receive either warn ing or assistance. Happily, all the in mates of tho cabin were at home. Hut what a situation it was! Tho whito people were just six in number: John Kilbourn, Sr., his son John, 18 years old, a hired man and his son. and Mrs. Kilbourn with a maiden daughter. And four hundred bloodthirsty, well-armed savages determined on tho r destruc tion! Tho leador of thn Indians was a gigantic creature named Phillip, who had visited the Kilbotirns repeatedly under tho pretense of fr.endship, and had learned both tho language and tho condition of the family. Before be ginning the attack ho sailed out: "Big John and little John, come out and wo will give you quarter." To which K l bourn replied: '-(!o away, you blaok rascals, or wo will quarter you." Tito attack began about noon and continued until sundown, when tho savages, totally defeated and largo numbers of their companions slain, wont away, novor to return. Within tho cabin there was but ono killed, Mr. Peak, tho hired man. Tho project of ravaging tho valley of tho Connect cut was at onco abandon ed. During tho terrible conllict tho women loaded the muskets for tho men to fire; and when the supply of bullets gave out tho women hung up blankets in such a way as to catch the bullets which the Indians fired into the roof; and these they melted and run into moulds for a new supply. To show that tho number of tho savages was not exaggerated, it is on record that when they wore creeping, ono by one, to tho point chosen for tho attack, 197 woro counted by tho beleaguered garrisoti; and a body ovidonly as largo remained in ambush as a reserve. Mrs. W. 0. Harnottctlie wife of a loading citizen of Walpole, is tlio great-great-granddaughter of this John Kilbourn, Sr. Tho other notable ovent Was nothing less than what tho folks horo claim was tho spilling of tho lirst bloodshed in tliu Kovolut on. Th s was not, indeed, hi Walpolo, N. 1I but in Westminster. Vt., on the opposite sido of tho rivor. It was in March, 1775, a fow weeks bo foro tho battle of Lexington. Tho royal olliccrs woro hold ing court for tho enforcement of somo of tho obnoxious Brit ish acts: and so great was tho popular disaffection that a considerable com pany of royalist troops had bjon sent as a guard. At 10 o'clock in tho even ing, while tho ollicors of tho court was absent takinir supnur. and tho truard was off its guard, a well-armed anil de termined band of citizens took posses sion of tho court-house, and, on tho ro- turn of tho judgo and sheriff, refused to admit them. The. troops wero sum- mound and a fiorco struggle ensued. Victory remained with tho friends ot liberty; and tho ollicors of tho crowd Hod across the Connecticut. However, ono of tno patriots was killed. His body lies buried in tho ancient ceme tery, and on tho moss-covered stono which marks tho spot the opitaph may still bo deciphered: Here llllam French his body lies, Hi s blood to Owl for vengeance cries, Kfiifj Oconee ye Sil, his tory crew, They with a bawl his head shot through. For liberty, his country's Rood, lie lust his life, his dearest blood.
