AGRICULTURAL.
A PLAN FOR THE RECLAMATION OP
PEAR AND PEACH TREES.
The Effsct of Too Much Pepper In the
Fowl's Food-Bisulphide of Car
bon as an Antiseptic A
Model Barn-yard.
Very cold weather does not injure
stock as much as dampness. Amtxl
eratcly cold day, ith a driving rain
storm, causes more illness to stock
than severe cold on a dry, clear day.
The flower-bed for the next year
maybe made very rich by scattering
the sweepings of the poulty-house
over it. Soapsudi may als-i be well
utilized by throwing them on the
flower beds.
If the bulbs of certain flowers start
to sprout while in the cellar i indi
cates that they are kept too warm.
They should keep cool enough, to re
main in a dormant condition until
spring. Sprouting injures them.
The object of the farmer in feeding
animals tlirongh the winter should be
for profit. Feeding stock to gain a
profit from is a nice point, aud re
quires studv and attention It is not
enough to feed a sufficient quantify,
ut the feed must be of sueh a nature
as is best for accomplishing the ob
ject of feeding.
Bisulphide of carbon is one of the
bei and cheipest antiseptics and in
secticide. Already more than 8,0()0,
000 pounds of it are used annually to
check the ravages of phyhxera, the
i-courge of European vineyards. Bi
sulphide of carbon has an extremely
offensive oder, and is highly inflam
mable and explosive.
Feeding pepper often to fowls as a
regular appetizer is a bad practice.
Although a very little will t!o no barm,
yet the continued use of the condi
ment is liable to cause liver complaint.
Warm feed tends to hare the same
stimulating effect without posscsing
the injurious qualities of the cayenne.
The only way to make roosts is to
make them on a movable frame, that
may be taken out of doors, there to
be scalded with boiling water in which
is a Utile cru le carbolic acid. Make
the roosts all on a lsvel and not more
than two feet high, thereby prevent
ing much quarreling and the bumble
foot- !
The kind of feeding that keep? a lot
of pigs or stocker from three to eix
months without grain is a total loss
of grain ; also, a ls of time in the
maturing of the animal. That is
suiftless feeding that carries a lot of
hogs through winter on one cWs of
feed. The need of variety brings them
to the boneyard when grass is almost
in sight.
A farmer with considerable exper
ience who has siloed clover for two
y.ars, s.'ys if it should be left to wilt
on the ground for two hours after tut
ting, -tud each daj's filling of the silo
1-e a lowed to heat before the fresh
ct-ver is added, and the sides, not the
center, kept thoroughly tramped, the
i-lover will cotue out moist and green,
and the cattle will relish it s.s
thoroughly as summer pasture.
To make pullets trot along toward
maturity with a wonderful accelerated
pce, give them every morning a
warm feed of bran and shorts and
ground oats Liixed up with milk, or
meat stock in which is a little salt. A'
noon give a feed of meat, and at nigh
all the wheat they will eat ai d a little
left to scratch for the next day. In ad
dition to this provide greeu food,
crushed bones aud pure water, and
give escli day one heavy feed of brok
en dishes; they will be eaten with
avidity.
Freezing of the food and water will
be one of the difficulties this winter
as usual. The troughs become ice
tKiund and the soft food freezes rap
idly when the weather is severe. In
such cases it is best to water the s ock
at intervals rather ihan to k-ep water
in the troughs. If you have no ar
rangement for warming water, try the
plan of a Western farmer, who heat
stones and drops one in the trough
ahen the water is pumped in. It is
etter, however, to warm the water,
using a boiler or steam-pipe, antl if
there is a large number of animals ii
will pay to do so.
A person who has some old pear
trees that have about run out, asks
advice of Popular Gardening and re
ceives the following: Try the plan of
digging a shallow trench, say one foot
deep, six to eight feet away from the
body of the tree, and throwing into
'his a liberal supply cf sod i, leaf mold,
ashe", lime and manure and covering
with earth, and then cut away all dead
limbs and give the body and limbs a
good coat of whitewash. We have
seen old peach trees renewed beyond
belief by this process.
In some cases a large barnyard
might well be divided into two or
more smaller ones for different classe
of live stock. A fruitful source of loss
is the keeping of weak animals with
vigorous ones; young with old;
horses with cattle, sheep and hogs.
By letting one set of animals out of
stables or pens at one time and another,
it may be possible to get along with a
single yard, yet the best plan, when
much stock is kept, is to have several
yards.
Why more men do not make the
dairy pay is because they refuse to be
lieve that there is any study or inves
tigation needed in regard to the care,
treatment and management of the
dairy. If they chance m a success
they call it luck, and if they fail thev
never investigate the matter to see
wherein they fail, so as tj steer cleai
of a repetition.
Potatoes are a drug in the market
at Colfax, Wis., owing to the e.ior
mous crop raised in that section. The
best price that can be realized is ten
Cents a bushel.
As about four times as many bush
els of sweet potatoes can be raised t n
an acre as corn, th-ir great value as a
p k pr ducer is obvious. B -th the
vines and tubers are greatly relish-!

The Ten Commandments were given
to the people eome thousand years ago
for their moral advancement, and the
Sermon on the Mount is nearly 2,000
years old; and still it is hard work for
nearly more than half of the people of
civilization to give them more than cas

One of the most Important uunga
ttiat the Christian can do, says the N.
T. Indepemlent, for the culture of his
ewn piety Is to acquire the habit of
lystematically and devoutly reading
and studying the Bible. By this habit
he will "grow in grace" by growing
"in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ" The more he
reads the Bible the more precious will
It become in his experience.
How lonely the mother feels when
for the Erst time her boy shows that he
feels too big to be kissed! As they be
gin to feel like little men, too many
boys thing that any show of affection
on their part is babyish; they are afraid
of being called "girl-boys" or milksops.
Just as if a man Is ever more manly
than when he loves and protects the
mother who loved and protected him
through so many helpless years, Such
a boy is sure to grow into the man who
takes such good care of his wife. Rural

If the right is not used as a weapon
of offense, it is not so likely to need to
spend itself in its own defense. And If
the wrong Is busy neither with its own
defense nor with the direct offense
against the right, it is more fairly open
to see the right as exhibited in the
rlffht. It is better to draw one into the
right than even to drive him out of the
wrong. S. 8. Times.

AN UNFOUGHT DUEL.
A Kw York Uwrer Tails a Oeoa Story mt
Ant-BUUB XMj.
A well-known lawyer of this city tells
a good story of ante-bellum times that,
inasmuch as it is more or less histor
ical, will bear repeating. The story is
about as follows: It waa somewhere in
1848 or thereabouts. Party feeling, as
between North and South, was running
pretty strong, and more especially was
this the case In Washington, where
Congress was in session. Congressman
Fetherstone, of Mississippi, saw fit one
day during a Congressional sitting
to refer to the conduct of a certain Il
linois regiment, commanded by Major
BissclU at one of the battles of the Mex
ican war as being cowardly. Major
BisselL who was also a Congressman,
was present on the floor at the time.
His ire was roused to its highest pitch,
and. going over to where Congressman
Fetherstone stood, be shook his fist in
bis face and shouted: . . .
"Cowardly! Why, you contemptible
liar, why don't you refer to the conduct
of the Mississippi regiment which all
during the action, and whilo we were
in the th ck of the fight, was more than
half a mile away and hadn't drawn a
trigger?"
The Mississippi regiment referred to
happened to have been commanded by
Colonel Jeff Davis, who was also then
in Washington, and who when he heard
of Major BisselTs remarks demanded an
apology. This Major Bisse'J. would not
give, and Colonel Davis sent "a friend"
to fix up matters. The result of this
negotiadon was a challenge for a duel,
which was to have been fought the day
following. "Zack" Taylor was Presi
dent at the time, and as Jeff Davis was
his son-in-law he was bound that the
duel should not come off, and accord
ingly issued a warrant for Major Bis
sell's arrest. Major Bissell was duly
arrested by a United States marshal
and 1. rough t before the President.
'See here, Mr. President," said the
Major, "you have had me arrested be
cause I am going to fight a duel. Why
do you arrest me? I am not the chal
lenging' party- Why don't you arrest
your son-in-law, Colonel Davis? The
Southerners will all say that I became
afraid and had myself arrested to avoid
the consequences of a fight if you allow
this to go on."
This argument seemed to strike "Old
Zach." who thereupon caused the ar
rest of his son-in-law, Colonel Davis.
After much persuasive diplomacy oa
the part of the President the would-be
duelists were brought together and th
quarrel was patched up. Both partiet
are now living. Major Bissell serve
with distinction during the late wal
and is now living in retirement on a
farm in Illinois, and everyone knows
the subsequent history of "Colonel"
Davis. JV. Y. Herald.
INMAN'S SUCCESS.
How the President of ta Georgia ventral
Railroad Made His Fortune.
The purchase of the Georgia Central
railroad by John Inman, president of
the Richmond Terminal Company,
brings that gentleman quite promi
nently into public notice. When the
rebellion broke out the three Inman
brothers John, Samuel and Hugh en
tered the Confederate army as privates,
and when they left the ranks at the end
of the war they were without capital or
resources. At their wrecked and deso
lated home in Georgia they bade each
other good-bye and started out to make
their way in the world. John Inman
came here te New York with scarcely
1 10 in his possession, and for a time
his life was a very hard and unpromis
ing one.
He worked as a clerk in a broker's
office, and plodded along for a couple of
years, saving a lit'le front his scanty
salary. Finally he got into business in
a small way for himself, and to-day he
is in possession of a fortune estimated at
from f 10.000,000 to 112,000,000 The two
otVer brothers were equally successful.
Samuel, who began work in Augusta,
finally, after ups and downs in business,
settled in Atlanta, where he is to-day
one of the wealthiest and most respect
ed citizens. Hugh is also a resident
of Atlanta, and is considered to-day the
richest man in the State of Georgia.
The Inmans are among the most gen
erous and beloved of the men who have
done so much to build up the hew
South and vitalize its great anp grow
ing resources. Jtf. Y. Graphic.

ABOUT IMMORTELLES.

"Where do the immortelles come
from?" asked a reporter of a florist.
"Do they all grow or are they some
times made up like the paper roses?"
"They rattle like paper, that's a
fact," said the florist, "but they're
not; they all grow, though they don't
all grow the color that you see them.
"Some of them do, however; there's
a French immortelle, round and about
as big as a good sized pea, that is a
bright yellow on the bush. It comes
originally from the island of Crete. It C
is a perennial. - and is raised in im
mense quantities in the south of France

delicate of any, both on the bush and

cultivated.
"The country people gather the
everlastings that is their popular
name, you know and hang them up
to dry for winter decoration, often
mixed with grasses. Many of these'
home-made winter bouquets are much
handsomer than any we are able to
secure for sale.
"The immortelles sold in this coun
try are largely imported; often the
bouquets and 'designs' are brought
over ready made. There is in Ger
many a house which has a hundred
acres or so of everlastings in cultiva
tion.
"But. although these pretty flowers
are painted by nature almost every
color in the rainbow, yet these colors
are often blotted out and new ones-'
painted in by the manufacturer, aa It
is fair to term him, for he really re
models the flower.
It has often to be bleached before
dyeing; this is done by fumes of acids,
chlorine, or sulphur, as the color to
be extracted decides. The coloring is
usually done with aniline dyes. The
black flowers in the French wreaths
are made by dyeing the yellow ones.
"Flowers bleached by sulphur gen
erally regain their color when dried,
and this fact is utilized in the preserva
tion of roses, larkspurs, daises and
other flowers used with the immor
telles. The perishable flowers are ex- -posed
to sulphur vapors to turn them
into "everlastings, and then dried
when their color returns.
"For drying the immortelles should
always be gathered before they have
fully opened. The sale of these flow
ers is very large, though such hideous
creations are made of them- by b
combinations and general lack of taste
that it is a wonder any one buys them.
Go to the national convention of flor
ists sometime if you want to see fine
work in immortelles." S. Y. Tele

A Few Hints Which the Honsekeeper
Should Preserve Carefully.
Lamp wicks should be ehanged often
enough to insure having a good light. -
If they seem clogged they may be
washed in strong suds and put into - .
the lamps again.
To take spots of paint from wood lay y'
a thick coating of lime and soda mixed
over it. letting it stay twenty-four 4.
hours, then wash off with warm water """"
and the spots will disappear.
Coffee pounded in a mortar and
roasted on an iron plate, sugar burned
on hot coals, and vinegar boiled with
myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and-- "
furniture of a sick room are excellent'
deodorizers.
In beating cake beat from the bot
tom of the mixing bowl with a wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and higlr- "
with each stroke, and as soon as the
ingredients are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating or your cake will
be tough. -
A dark carpet often looks dusty so
soon after it has been swept that you
know it does not need sweeping again,
so wet a cloth 'or sponge, wring it al
most dry, and wipe off the dust. A few
drops of ammonia in the water will
brighten the colors.
Potato water cleans silk of any kind
or color, says a housewife. - For every .
quart of water to be used in washing a
dress, for instance, pare and grate one
large potato. Put the grated potatoes
into the water, which must be soft
water and cold; let stand two days v
without being disturbed in any way;
then very carefully pour off the clear
liquor from the sediment into a large,
convenient vessel, into which dip the
pieces of silk up and down. Of course
the silk must not be creased by wring-
ing it; lt it hang and drip nearly dry,
then lay it fiat on the table and wipe it
first on one side and then on the other.
If necessary to press it, do so between
flannel with a moderate iron. Horn

"I believe there is money in those
accident and life insurance companies,"
said old Barkins. "They allow you
tl,600 for an eye, $3,000 for two eyes,
$1,500 for an arm or a leg, and $3,000
for two arms or two legs, but they only
give your widow $5,000 if you die.
Well, it's easy enough to see that you
can make more than $5,000 if you die
kinder slow. First lose yer legs, then
yer arms, then yer eyes, and then die.
That's three $3,000 and the $5,000 for
your widow besides, $14,000 altogether.
I tell you, Jim, there's money in that,
and I'm going to git insured right
now."
