AGRICULTURAL.
A blackberry farm near Dalas,Texas,
has yielded 6,000 quart boxes on two
acres, and the crop, selling at 20 cents
per box, has brought to the owner
$1,200. The berries are large, nearly
round in shape, coal black and of delicious
flavor.
The increase of two bushels of wheat
per acre on 40,000,000, the area now in
wheat, would be a gain to the country
of $80,000,000, and if by improved seed
we could increase the production one
bushel per acre this would amount to
$40,000,000.
After an afternoon's discussion at a
montinfr rvf the \fiphitrftii Sheen Breed
era and Wool Growere' Association,on
the washing of sheep, the result was an
unanimous verdict that the practice is
not only useless and barbarous but unprofitable.
The greatest gain from sheep husbandry
is in saving as much as possible
of labor and loss in the management
of the flock, and much cisappointment
and discouragement will
follow early lambing of ewes if comfortable
quarters and good care are
wanting.
The English hop crop is in a bad way,
being threatened with mildew and lice.
Even the most favored districts are not
. exempt from these impending backsets.
Throughout the entire hop district
the prospects are exceedingly
blue, and planters are very much discouraged.
Clear bran alone should never be fed
to fowls on account of its swelling and
caking in masses in the crop, and
proving fatal to chicken life not infrequently.
It will sodden and increase
in bulk very rapidly before digesting,
causing ruptureof the crop if any great
quantity has been eaten.
The late rains in Michigan have
caused less damage to the crops than
was at first expected. The total crop
of wheat is believed to be much larger
than in 1879, which was the largest
ever harvested. The total crop of
wheat is estimated at 35,000,0* 0 bushels.
Report says that all spring crops
are excellent.
The Rural Messenger say that the
peanut crop will be a failure. Owing
to the irregularity of the rains the grass
got ahead of the peas, and the falling
off" in the production will be about 50
per c.nt. Instead of a crop of 1,000,000
bushels, as there was last year, it
will only l?e about from 400,000 to 600,
000 bushels.
A small worm, resembling a snail in
shape and color,and from a fourth to half
an inch in length, is said to be the latest
enemy to the potato in Pennsylvania.

in color, are deposited on leaves of the

and twenty-four hours thereafter the

The Setting Hen.
The saddest thought of tongue or pen
Is the following concerning a setting heD.
which we find in Peck's Milwaukee
Sun: There is no use trying to get a
hen to quit setting when she has got
her mind fairly made up that setting
is her be<t hold. A New Jersey woman
put her head together to devise a
means of discouraging a hen from setting.
She got a cast iron egg, heated
it red hot and put it in a nest under a
hen. For a moment the hen seemed
to feel that her situation was anything
but pleasant, but like the boy that
stood on the burning deck, whence all
but him had fled, the hen concluded
that she could not go, so 9hfe closed her
eyes, shut her teeth together firmly,
and with an expression of resignation
she went on hatching the red hot cast
iron egg. The lady who had placed
this infernal machine under the hen
was out in the garden picking a mess
of potato bugs, when she thought
she smelt feathers burning, and dropping
her basin of bugs she strode to
the barn and found that the red hot
egg had set fire to the nest burned the
hen to a skeleton and was just getting
into the hay loft. She yelled fire and
looked aroud for something wet to
throw on the fire, butali that she could
find that was wet was a load of pine
kindling wood that a coal dealer had
sent to the house, and not having time
to run the kindling wood through a
clothes wringer, she fainted away and
the barn and hen were destroyed.
There is no use trying to teach a hen
anything about setting.
Repartee in an ad nit is sauciness in
the wit of tender years. The Galveston
Kews tells of a domestic scene as follows
: " I'll teach you to lie, and steal,
and smoke and use profane language,"
said an Irate Galveston parent to his
eldest offspring, at the same time swinging
a good sized sapling. "I'll teach
you, you young scamp." " Never
mind, father, I know all them branches
already."

Made Preacher by Fraud.
A MAN WHO CHANGED THE TENOR OF
HiS WAY UNDER PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Near the river, in the upper part of
Arkansas, lives old Jeremiah Winfrey,
known all over the neighborhood as
j possessing a fund of profanity so great
that no one, no matter how desirous of
! "swearing" distinction, could hope to
! rival. Old Jeremiah, although named
| for one of the most distinguished prophets,
made no effort toward reform.
He would not allow a preacher to come
to his house, so great was his aversion
to the Gospel. One night, when the
wind blew cold, and the sleet beat
against the window pane with that
sharpjrattle so brightly tending to produce
thankful emotions to those who
are within a warm room, and so exasperating
to the traveller, man
rapped on the door of Jeremiah's
house.
"Come in," exclaimed the old man,
as he put aside a plate of pop-corn. The
door opened, and a young man carrying
a pair of saddle-bags entered. Jeremiah
immediately began a series of attentions.
He gave the stranger a seat in
the corner near the churn, while his
wife and daughters flew around in that
hurry-flurry only known to' women
preparing supper for the "poor traveller."
After supper, when the stranger
had been invited to smoke, and when
Abe, Jeremiah's son, had been sent to
"shelter" the stranger's horse, the old
man, eyeing the stranger, asked :
* " What trade do you foller?"
" I am engaged in the Lord's merchandise.
I, my kind Christian friend,
am a meek and lowly circuit rider.'"
Then git outen my house, sir," exclaimed
Jeremiah. "Git right out, or
I'll apply a par of cow-hide boots to
that part of your physical arrangement
that rests in the cheer. A circuit rider!
Why, ding your soul, I swapped horses
with a circuit rider when I was a boy,
and got cheated so bad that my father
thrashed me. Git out of here; mosey."
" I am sorry, my Christian friend?"
" Git out. Abe, git this feller's horse.
Move on."
When the preacher had gone, the old
man sat for an hour, swearing and
smoking.
"Father," said Abe, "I'll bet my
bay filly again the sorrel nag that you'll
be a circuit rider in six months."
"Go to bed, you young varmint, or
I'll whale you."
"You'd better take the bet, pap.
Here's yer chance to win the filly."
"All right; I'll take the bet. Go to
bed."
All next day the old man swore abi>ut
the preacher's impudence, and in general
terms expressed regret that he did
not use a stick on him. Next night,
while the old man was feeding the cattle
intthe barn, a voice so strange that
if- marie the old man's blood creen.
moaned, rather tha exclaimed :
"Jeremiah Winfrey!"
"Who's that?" answered the old
S man.
" Jeremiah Winfrey! "
"Well?"
" Ride the circuit of the Gospel."
" I'll show you what it is to fool with
j me," hotly exclaimed theold man, and
' he climbed all around in the barn, looki
ing for the ofFender. He could find no
j one, and when he went to the house he
| roused Abe out of bed and told of his
: strange experience. Next day, when
i the old man was riving boards in the
i woods, a voice over his head exclaimed :
" Jeremiah Winfrey! "
j " Where are you ?" said the old man,
dropping his froe and gazing up.
"Jeremiah Winfrey!"
" Well ?" still gazing.
" Ride the circuit of the Gospel!"
"Oh", Lord!" exclaimed Jeremiah,
dropping on his knees. "Oh, forgive
me for my sins, but keep me from riding
a circuit!"
The old niau went home and exj
perieneed some trouble in trying tocon!
vince his wife and Abe of the fact that
j something supernatural had spoken to
j him. The old lady sighed, and said
| that she was afraid that Jeremiah was
i not in his right mind. Thus matters
j went on for months. Nearly every
? - ?^* *V.^ ..^1af tl.(i tio^n wnr.M ,.?1|
I Uiglit LUC YUIUC at tug uaiu nvuiu v%*?*
i the old man, and every time he went
to the board tree the same solemn ad;
monition would come from above.
: Unable to longer endure such mental
j torture, the old man, who had by this
: time professed religion, made applica|
tion to conference and was accepted.
: On the morning when he first started
i out as a circuit rider he presented Abe
; with the sorrel nag. He soon instituted
a revival, and was so successful that he
received a complimentary letter from
I religious headquarters. Several nights
ago, just after family prayers, and
' while Parson Jeremiah was upbraiding
Abe for not joining the church, the
[ youug man said:
" Pap, and you did become a circuit
rider, didn't you?"
"Certainly I did. You well know the
circumstances."
"Yes, I know," replied Abe. "I
know a little more about the circumstances
than you reckon. Arter I made
that bet with yeu I hid in the barn
loft, and called you through a horn.
When you clim' up I hid under the
hay. Then I beat you down and run to j
the house. Next day, when I seed you j
goin' out to rive boards, I clim' up in j
the tree an' got down in the holler. I
agin beat you to the house. I practised
this on you, pap, till you 'fessed 'ligion.
I wanted the nag, you know."
The old man sprang from his seat,
seized a piece of rope, but throwing it
down, raised his hands, and said in a
calm voice: 44 Let us pray."
A fradulent transaction can sometimes
have a good result. The old man
is still a preacher.

When a Chinaman was saved from j
drowning by being pulled from the j
water by his pigtail, he feebly muttered; j '
" I thank queue." !
A man in Maine fasted forty two j
days and died. His tombstone bears
the touching inscription, "He was a
man of great forty-two'd."
" John, how many times have I
told you always to eat bread with your
meat?" Papa, howr many times have j
you told me never to do two things at a ;
time?" j
The other morning a Galveston mer- j
chant was seen standing in his store i
with his face tied up and smiling like a
house on fire. "What are you grinnine
for?" askedanasser-bv. " I ehoost :
sold out all mine umprellas, and I feel j 1
so glad ash I nevsr vash. Dish rainy j
vedder was a pleseiug." What's the j t
matter with your jaw?" "My tooths 1
ache so pad I vants to die. Dot rainy
vedder always makes dot." and his [
thoughts went back to the sale of the j
umbrellas he put his hand up to his j
jaw and laughed, and swore, and ;
stamped, and smiled, until people passing
mistook him for a lunatic. ;

The sixtieth anniversary of the marriage
of Count Wrangle was lately celebrated.
It is said that during the long i

A party of scapegraces meeting a pi- j
ous old man named Sampson, one of j
them exclaimed: "Ah! now we're
safe! We'll take Sampson along with
us; and then, should we beset upon by
a thousand Philistines, he'll slay them
all ?" " My young friend," quietly responded
the old man, " to do that I
should have to borrow your jaw-bone."

replied the Irishman. "Your cat?how : 1
