TOPICS OF 1NTRRKST UFLATIVE
TO FARM AND G Alt DUN.
HALT FOR m.ACK WUVIt.
I will state for the information of all
Interested, rajs a Texas fanner in the New
York Herald, that the common black weevil
can be kept out of corn after it is
gathered, or killed if already in it, by
mixing salt through the corn as it is put
in the crib and occasionally sprinkling
the corn with water to cause the salt to
dissolve. It is not necessary to dissolve
all the salt at the time of cribbing tho
corn as it will continue to dissolve, except
in dry and windy weather, and will
do so even in dry weather if it is very
'warm. Do not throw the water on in
quantities, as is the custom of some |>ersons
in this section. This causes the water
and salt to run through to the bottom in
large quantities, resulting iu damage to
the corn at the bottom, also to tho flooring
and foundation of the crib; beside.
it may not leavo enough salt iu the upper
portion of the corn. Some years since 1
noticed here a small brown weevil in cottonseed
meal. The same weevil, or one
very much resembling it, is now to be
found in corn here. The salt aud water
remedy docs not entirely exterminate the
brown weevil, but lessens their numbers.
This weevil damages corn very little. I
also had mites in my corn the past fall,
which the salt and water exterminated us
well as the black weevil.
TO GET HID OF SHEEP TTCK8.
The ticks which arc so numerous on
lambs after the ewes are sheared arc the
cause of the lambs nibbling themselves
and of their failure to do well. These
insects annoy the young animals exceedingly
and should he got rid of at once by
the following means: Procure a tight
box or vat largo enough to hold a lamb,
and another with a slooping floor, from
which the drainage can flow into n pail;
raako a decoction of tobacco stems, one
pound to a gallon of water; pour boiling
water on the stems and steep them until
the beat is reduced to 120 degrees; add
two ounces of sulphur to the gallon of
water with the tol>acco. Put suflicicnt
of the liquid in the first vat to cover the
lamb all over hut the head and put the
lamb into it, taking care to get the
liquor thoroughly into the wool, put the
lamb into the draining box and squeeze
the liquor out of the wool. So proceed
mrougn the Hock. Keep some of the
liquor hot in n kettle to replenish the
vat. Sometimes buttermilk is poured
on the back of the lamb and spread all
through the wool for the purpose of killing
these pests. Where there arc but u
few lambs the ticks may be killed with a
pair of sharp-pointed scissors, as they arc
found by parting the wool on the sides
of the animal.?New York Times.
HAT MAKING AND CATIE OF MCADOWB.
In making hay, farmers ace apt to
become too much hurried ftfith drawing
in, so that they do not give the hay
time enough to cure and sweat; hence
it becomes mowburot, musty and discolored.
It has been my observation
that the best way to harvest hay is to
cut early, so as to sceure n good, green
Color. Let tue hay lie una have plenty
time to dry; use the tedder and then
rake and cock it. Loading from the
windrow is a bad practice. The hay
may appear dry after the hot rays of the
Bun have poured upon it live or six
hourn, but it is so only on the outside.
It should be rocked tit and have time to
sweat before it is put in larger masses.
The markets demand hay of good color,
and it pays well to use cxUji clforts to
secure such. Hay that is cut early
will bring two dollars per ton more than
that cut later and allowed to become
yellowish.
Though hay-making is important, the
caro of the meadow is equally if not
more so. It is best to seed with fall
crops at the time of sowing or in the ensuing
spring. Do not pasture much, and
if the meadow is seeded to timothy, don't
pasture at all, or the meadows will soon
"run out." Pasturing will cause June
cross to start and then* will nr?r?n lu? nn
timothy. I know of meadows ten or
twelve years old that yielded from oncand
a half to two tons per acre last
year. They were never pastured, last
Bpriog were harrowed, and where thin,
new seed was sown. Every two or three
years a quantity of phosphate was sown,
ut the rate of a few dollar's worth per
acre. This enriches the land and gives
a good growth of grass. If the fall is
wet there will be quite a growth after
cutting. In spring where tills autumn
growth dried it is burnt over. This
warms the ground and gets rid of the
old dead grass, which would otherwise
be raked up ami spoil the sale of the
hay. The ashes act as a fertilizer.
I have been speaking of timothy meadows.
With clover a good crop of seed
can often be secured as a second crop
after haying. As to which is the better,
clover or timothy, it depends upon the
soil, etc. Timothy brings the best price
?the coarser and longer the better?
wmie clover makes the best pasture. It
is better to put hay in barns or shells
than in stacks, as stacked hay is liable to
become dusty. There cannot bo too
much care taken in raising and harvesting
hay. Human beings want their food
to lie well prepared, anil so also do the
dumb beasts.?American Agriculturist.
OEPTII TO CULTIVATE.
There is a wide difference of opinion
as to how deep it is necessary or best to
stir the soil in cultivating the growing
crops, says a writer in the Prairie Farmer.
There are three items to be secured
at least; the destruction of the weeds,
avoiding the unnecessary robbing of the
soil of available plant food that will be
taken up and used by the weeds; mellowing
or loosening up the soil so that the
roots can penetrate readily; and rendering
available plant-food that i? already in
the soil, but needs the action of the light
and air to make it available.
If the cultivation is commenced i a good
season, the weeds arc very easily destroyed,
without the necessity of disturbing
the soil more than two or three inches.
If the soil has lieen properly
brought into a good tilth, as should be
done before the crop is planted, it should
ho a dKoiiint 11/ Iacic/i oiwl ni/i 1 !/?ur lw?
root* to penetrate, without the necessity,
after the plants have commenced to grow,
of loosening up mo that the roots can permeate.
To a greater or less extent the
natural course of all manure is downward,
and, if applied on the surface and
thorough cultivation is given, it will incorporate
well with the soil, and the rains
will usually carry the soluble portions
' sufficiently deep, so that the rdoUt will
be able to secure the necessary supply tc
keep up a vigorous growth.
There is another point that should also |
be considered, and that is, if the soil ii
stirred deep, thcro must of necessity b?
more or le*s disturbance of the roots. '
The roots furnish a good per cent, of the
food that enables the plant to grow, and
if theso are disturbed or broken, titers
must of necessity be a lessening Jn the .
supply.
It is true that plants, like animals, as s ^
rule, heal all cuts or wounds naturally, |
and if in cultivating the roots are cut 01 I
tvrittuift 11.A will W- ? 1 I
?uv Will UV IUpttHLM.
Tliere la, in addition, an outlay ol
strength that in unnecessary, and could
be avoided. Fully ns good a growth and
yield can be secured by stirriug the soil
deep and thoroughly in plowing, then
working into a good tilth and planting
the seed, and then, as far ns possible, commencing
the cultivation in good season,
6o that only the surface is stirred. This
will be sutlicieut to keep down the weeds,
nud this is one principal point in cultivation.
The work, too, canbedone easict
and more economically than to stir the
soil deep at every cultivation. There may,
indeed, be times when it is necessary te
stir the soil deep, but it is the exception i

TREATMENT FOR HORSE TRICK8. <
Dr. 11. Keynolds maintains that the j
minor vice which impairs the value ami ,
spoils the ratability of au otherwise ex- '
ccllent horse is, likely enough, traceable 1
to bad management or severity in the ,
treatment of the animal, and, certainly, 1
harshness tends to confirm tlio evil way. 1
He mentions balkiness as an illustrative j
instance, and adds In tlio New York Ex- i
aminer suggestions for humane and effee- 1
tive cure of this and simitar tricks:
4,It is no use to whip the balky horse.
That only makes him worse. If a horse I
refuses to go, let him stand and think of '
it for a few minutes. Oftentimes he will
soon think lajtter of it and start off of his |
own accord. If lie does not, get out '
and pat him, speak kindly, give him a ,
bunch of grass, a potato or an apple, uuhitch
the checkroin?do something just
to take his attention off the balking, and ]
generally lie will go along without fur- ]
ther trouble. The horse is very susceptible
to kindness, and there is ten times 1
the chance to break up the habit of balk- 1
ing by kindly treatment that there is by
abuse or violence; or, at least, harsh
im-iiiis siiuuiu noi no resorrea 10 unui nil
devices prompted by kinducss have becu ,
thoroughly exhausted.
' Some horses have a trick of running |
back when you want to start them. This
is a worse fault than refusing to go at all,
as it is liable to smash the carriage or injure 1
those in it. Iu such cases the same means |
as arc recommended for a balky horse |
may be tried. If those fail, take the horse I
into the middle of an opeu level field,
start him, and let him back as much as j
he wishes, keeping the wheel turned so i
as to make the circuit of the field as many
times as lie wishes. Then make him keep j
backing until he is heartily sick of it, ,
and dizzy. Then lie will see that he has I
been beaten at his own game, and will 1
not be likely to try it again.
"Some horses by lying down in the i
harness break shafts and do other mis- 1
chief. The best way to break them of
that trick is to give them an overdose of
it. When one lies down eret upon hie
head and neck and make him stay there.
He will soon want to get up, but hold
him down, head tint on the ground. If
you are strong and determined you can
keep him down, although it will be lively
work for awhile. Rut don't give up.
Keep him there till he is tired out and
gives up if it takes all day, and night,
too. When he gives up he knows he is '
conquered, and that you are stronger
than he. He will not be likely to put
himself again in a position that will give
you a chance to hold him."
The thought is emphasized that whatever
the trick or vice, whipping or other
harsh treatment will generally do no good;
it exasperates the animal, makes him more
obstinate, and perhaps, even furious.
Only by kind and intelligent management
can you hope to reclaim him.

The cedar bird is a great devourer of
canker worms.
Excitement reduces the milk flow.
Don't let the cows be hurried from pasture.

A crop of beans will ripen in time to
eseajw the late frost if planted June 20,
says W. II. Bull in American Garden;
then string beans are assured to September
15.
Unless you have some choice birds
from which you wish to breed next year,
disjKJsc of all cocks as soon as the breeding
season is over. They are only un expense
smi an annoyance.
Steer clear of leaky roofs, broken windows
and drafts geuerally, and all other
conditions that generate roup, unless you
arc studying for the veterinary profession
and want lots of practice.
Feed your fowls systematically two or
three times a day; scatter the food, so
they can't eat loo fust or without proper
exercise. I)o not feed more than they
will eat up clean, or they will get tired
of that kind of feed.
The public taste, it is said, is being
steadily educated to demand fresh butter.
Asa result it each year becomes more difficult
to handle held summer slock. The
farmer who keeps abreast with the popular
taste is most likely to reap the pecuniary
benefits arising therefrom.
Snails often prove n threat nest to the
gardener. Popular Gardening says that
the only sure method of dealing with
them is to lay traps, and recommends for
this purpose orange peel, of which the
slug is fond that instead of returning to
its home at daybreak it clings to the jieel
and inay be found underneath. Pieces of
board are also good traps.
For slugs on pear trees Orchard and
Garden recommends, as tho simplest
remedy, and one that mny be most easily
applied, to throw up among the branches
in tlie morning, when the leaves are wet
with dew, fine, dry, air-slaked lime, coal
ashes or dry road dust, so that both sides
of the leaves will lie coated. Whito
hellebore is also an efficient remedy, hut
more costly.

Israel, over wlioni triio Israelites should alivayB
have the victory. (Deut. xxviil.,7.)
2. "Israol was smitten before the Philiiv- ?
ines." This indicates that Owl was not with
theui. for had lie Ihjoh in t heir midst victory
would have been certain; "one should cbaso
i thmlsaud and two put ten thousand to

of our God is iij>oii all them for good thatsock *
Him; but Htoiiower and His wrath is against
all them that forsake Him." (Er.ra viil., 22.) |
3. "Iiot us fetch the ark of the covenant of
tho Lord; * * * It uinysave us." Thoy
lid not look to the Lord to save them, thoy
were not nt this time worshiping Htm, but
idols, and thoy spm'c of this holy vessel as if [
It were an idol which perhnps may liavo

worshiped; but their iniquities had soparnted
between t hem and God, au?l thoir sins nod hid |
His face from (hem (Isa. lix., 2; Jer. v., 25).
4. "So tho people sent to Sliiioli, that tlioy
might bring from tlienco tho ark of tho covenant
of the J/>rd of Ilosts, which dwellotli I
between the cherubim." Thai; thoy mid sin I
to siu and nro so blinded tlint thoy see not tho I

cnnce of this holy vessel, mentioned eleven
limes in this chapter, ami that its plnco in

which tho High Priest nlono entered hntonco
a year and never without tho blood of tho

consider also the expression "dwolletli between |

and onlv seven times in nil Hcripturo (II Sain. t

heart tliat humbly seeks Him, but wlsm such 1
blind and blasphemous bauds approach Him 3
llioy can onlj' expect His wrath. i
5. "All Israel shouted with a great shout." <
It was not like tlio groat shout when tho walls <
of Jericho foil, or whon the foundation of tho 1
second tcinplo was laid (Josh, vl., 20; Exra iii., I
11-15), for then it was a shout hcoauso tho i
I/ord was in their midst and tho work was '
Tor His glory, but this was simply the shout i
of Israel without reference to tho glory of i
Bod; it may have been a louder shout than 1
on tho other occasions, but it was ail noiso l
with no power to it. 1
(M>. "God is come into tho camp." Whon 1
the Philist ines heard tho shout, and under- I
stood the cause of it, they wore afraid. suj>- I
posing tho ark was Israel's Clod as basin 1
was t heirs, bill although they tremble at tho 1
possible results, remembering what they had 1
[lemrd of llin y?U)dor? in Egvnt. and in thn (
wildoine&s, they are ready to* make trial of '
the jviwer of their god against Israel's God >
and urge their soldiers to do strong and quit j
themsaTvos like iuou, least they booomo servants
to the Hebrews. It is not to bo won- | i
lierod at that the Philistines knew not tho ]
God of Israel nor Ilis mighty power, whon J
Israel knew not their own God nor relied
upon Htm. Hnd Ho indood come into tho I
enmn of Israel that would have settled tho I
niktCor.
10. "Israel was smitten; * * thoro
fell of Israel thirty thousand foottnen." Israel
was chosen to rely upon God that IIo
uiiglit sliew forth His power, and whenever
she failed to do so her defeat was sure. Two
things woro required of her; that sho should
be holy and bj- implicit reliance upon, and ol?odiouce
to her God, magnify His name. The
sftmo two things nro required now of evory
Christian and of every church.
VI. "The ark of God was taken; * * * |
the two sons of Ell woro slain." Tlio next j
two chapters tell of tho journoyings of the ark i
in the hind of 1'hilistinos, and how tho hand |
of tho Ix>r<l was against tho i?eoplo wherever i
it rested until they woro glad to return it to |
Israel with an offering. God will boo to His
own glory and will earo for llis own ark, |
even if His pcoplo despise Him and tho enemy i
seem for a tune to prosper.
13-17. "Eli sat upon a seat by tho wayside, I
watching, for his heart trembled for the ark (
f God." Onlv twice outside of these first four ,

than a natural brute beast made to be taken .

William Sunday, the baseball player, said
in a recent speech at Pittsburg; ' My occupation
for the past few years has carried ine
over a large portion of the United States. I
havo been a close observer, and I have noticed
tliat in communities where the sale of
liquor is prohibited, either by State laws or
local option, there is tbe greatest prosperity,
the greatest hnoniness and the nearest. ?vmnli
ty among (he people. There are dome people
who are slow to see the virtue of this movement
for temperance. Why this is so is a
mystery tome. There are men coming in hero
to talk for prohibition who come from States
where it has been tried. They havolived under
it and liko it Is not that proof of its virtue?
I have lived in Iowa under license and under
prohibition, and I say of my own knowledge
that Iowa was never more prosperous than
sbo is to-day. What has done that? Prohibit

Every third person you meet ts troubled more
or less with biliousness, and don't know how
to (ret rid of It. The causes are ea lly recorded.
A lock of sufficient exercise, eating too much
by persons of sedentary habits, Indulgence In
too rich food, a sluggish torpid liver where tho
blood does not do its duty, and bile is allowed
to nccumula e; these cause the whites of the
eyes to turn yellow, the skin to look thick and
roars \ and the comlexlon yellow or dark.
These are sure indications of biliousness.
Brown's Iron Bitters is the remedy you want.
It acts directly npon the Mood, cleouses and
purlf.es it, and sends it on its lourney through
the channels of the llvor, - giving to it activity
and clearingout the bile. It will remove the
yellow llnge from the eyes and the complexion
leaving the latter fresh and clear.
