The pro- \ prietor sized up his customer in a general o manner, and thought he had struck the right man on whom to work off some old stock, r The farmer thought he never met a man who t .was so genial and affable, and became so much t in love with the storekeeper that he nearly de- t cided not to leave the premises, but to remain * to enjoy the society of his entertainer. t He had been looking at a piece of ordnance c appraised at $6.75, when the storekeeper reach- i ed back in the corner and brought forth an- t other. t "This gun isn't worth so much as that you t have in your hand," said he. "It looks a c little better, but, it was only gotten up to sell, s Appearances are deceitful, you know, and 1 traveling through this vale of tears you have t to look closely to your steps. I just showed 1 you this last gun, which I sell by the dozen s for five dollars apiece, to teach you how you \ mirrhfr. ho rio^oivoH Tf looks a snnerior arti- 6 cle to this one for $5.75, but you can't do near < the execution with it that you can with the latter, and besides, a man with your, culture 1 and general intelligence don't "want to be s fooling away his time with a popgun that t wont knock a red squirrel off a sapling. This I $6.75 is more suited to the demands of your c nature," and the dealer smiled his sweetest, s "Did you say that five dollar gun wouldn't 1 shoot worth anything ?" inquired the customer. 1 "I did. I've tried it and it is a fraud. I i only keep it to show up better goods with. I < never got cheated on a gun but once and that ] was the time I bought that gun." s "It ain't especially dangerous then, is it ?" i "Well, I should say not. I shot a tramp 1 between the shoulders with it one day up at 1 home, and he came and sat down on the door- i step and asked my mother-in-law to scratch his back. Gun looks good enough, but I don't i want to sell it to you. It won't shoot hard < enough to blow the wadding out of the barrel." 1 " Well, I never! Say, are you telling me the ' truth ?" 1 "Gospel truth. You ought to know me 1 well enough to understand that I don't lie i about my goods. ] "Yes, exactly. I'm glad to hear it. Ilere's 1 your five dollars. Glad I came here. Can't i stay long, you know, for my wife's holding the horses outside. I don't care how mean a 1 gun is, for I want to give it to my sister's boy, ; and I don't want him to have an article that 's 1 liable to go off and kill him. Don't think I could have found as mild-tempered a weapon i anywhere else, do you? Good day," and he 1 was gone. The merchant stepped out to the edge of the walk as the wagon rolled off up the mud- | dy street, and gazed after it long and anxious- , / ly, and then turned and came back into the 1 / / store and rearranged the cases. He didn't u seem excited or grit his teeth or swear, but oft-times a calm and unruffled exterior may hide a world of woe, and it may be some time , before the merchant will show a guileless , granger a twenty-dollar gun tor one-iounn , its value Bimply to furnish him information about the relative merits of sporting apparatus. i The Man of Bullets.?As I sat on the j hotel steps at Dalton, Ga., talking with a drummer from Cincinnati, the landlord came out and asked us if we wanted to see a man J who was carrying six bullets about with him. Of course we did, and were walked down to the other end of the veranda and introduced j to Col. Beach. I was going to approach him , slowly and gracefully, but the drummer rushed right at him with : , "So you are carrying six bullets about with you, eh ?" ' "Yes, sir." ; "Do they pain you much ?" . "Oh, no." "Lands alive 1 but I don't see how you lived through it. How many battles were you in ?" "Eighteen." ] "Did you get all these bullets at once ?" , "Yes, all at once." "By George ! Well, I never heard the likes of it! Colonel, I don't want to be impudent, but?but " j * "You .want to know where they are loca- 1 ted ?" "Exactly?exactly." j "I'm carrying'em in this pocket to-day," was the quiet reply, as he fished down and ' brought up six old bullets picked up off the 1 battle-field. < It was a job put up on me, but the drummer ' got in ahead, and he was so mad about it that 1 he wouldn't eat any supper.?Detroit Free 1 Press. _ * "Give it to Him.1'?This court-room scene occurred in the early days of the State of Vermont, when school houses were used for courthouses and log stables were used for jails. The Circuit Court was held at Berkshire Centre, when old Judge Hammond, who was remarkable by his having a crooked eye, presided. The case on hand was one of trespass, and had attracted a full house. Everything went on smoothly until the old judge began to charge the jury, when he was rather severe on the defendant. An eccentric person in the crowd, who did not realize the dignity of a court-room, jumped up and said : "Give it to him, old gimlet eye." The old judge rose, and in a voice of thunder said : "Who is that disturbing this court ?" The eccentric person replied : "It's me, old hoss." Then says the judge : "Here, constable, take that old hoss and put him in the stable." The consequence was the court had to adjourn until the afternoon in order to straighten the faces of the officers and jury. This story was told me when I was a boy by a venerable judge who had in his younger days studied law with the "gimlet-eyed" judge. A Contingent Fee.?A citizen had occasion to consult a lawyer'regarding a suit which lie contemplated instituting, but of the indefinite outcome of which he was in doubt. lie did not wisn to pay a retaining iee, Decause he was uncertain .of winning. The at- ( torney said he would accept a contingent fee. . The party met Mr. Burleigh some time afterward, and asked him the definition of a contingent fee. "A contingent fee," jocosely said Mr. Burleigh, "is this : If a lawyer loses the case he gets nothing. If he wins you get nothing." "But," said the perplexed party, scratching his head," I can't say that I exactly comprehend you." "I thought I was quite clear," said Mr. Burleigh, who repeated what he had said. "But it seems that I don't get anything in either event," said the man, when his intellect had fully grasped the situation. "Well that is about the size of a contingent fee," replied Mr. Burleigh, terminating the conversation. The Crncus Fever.?The tenting season is nearing, and the elephant, tne tiger and the rhinoceros may be expected to arrive almost any day. And this causes the editor of an ex- 1 change paper to rise up in his bed and dash off 1 the following : After considering the question 1 all winter we come to the conclusion every ! spring that the circus is immoral; but then ( the billposter comes along with the big pic- 1 tures and our mind changes. As we gaze at ( the lions, tigers and monkeys, and think that nature made all of them, we are not sure. And when we look at the beautiful young lady, and think that nature made her too, just as she is, we begin to lean up to the circus. But when the brass band begins to play, and the elephants go round, we rush for a front seat to get ahead of the minister. He Knew.?Judge (severely) : "IIow do you know the defendant is a married man V Were you ever at his house ?" "No, sir." "Do you know him personally V" "No, sir." "Did anyone ever tell vou they were married ?? "No, sir; but when I see a man and woman come to the same church regularly for three years, occupy the same j>ew, and have a hymnbook apiece to sing out of, I don't want to see no marriage certificate. I can swear to their relationship all the time." How Did He Know.?"Please, sir, give a few cents to a poor blind man ?" "Are you entirely blind ?" "Yes, sir." 1 "Haven't anything for you, to-day" s "I suppose you think because you wear d tight pants, and have got your hair parted in t the middle you are somebody. You look like that man who was hung in Washington hist week you long-legged, red-headed, freckled- 0 face galoot.''? Texas Siftings. 11 Journalistic.?We are going to Arkansas s and start a paper, calling it "Quinine and | r Whisky." Everybody will take it. j f Pie gam and Reside. CHOPPING OUT COTTON. The Southern Farmer's Monthly, gives some aluable suggestions in regard to the process if chopping out and bringing to a stand. The editor maintains that this should comnence as soon as the cotton is well up out of he ground, unless the ground is very wet, or he nights cold enough to weaken and kill out he more delicate plants. In either event, it rill be well to give a little more time in order o dry off the ground for better hoeing, or to levelope and secure to the stand the most rigorous plants. Having been covered with wo furrows and smoothed off with a board, lie cotton furrows present a smooth broad >ed slightly elevated. These beds are. now lestroyed by siding the cotton with a smaller icooter, or with a turn plow, running the bar lext to the cotton, and as close as possible vithout injury to the plants. If the soil is ight and the weather dry, care will lie necesmry to avoid depriving the cotton of too much soil and moisture, lest it should fall down ixposing its shank to the sun and be scorched ar killed. The narrow rows left by the siding process nake easy work l'or the choppers, but a good stand dejiends much upon the execution of his work. It may be properly barred off, but lasty or careless choppers will do all the misshief indicated above by chopping away the ?oil, hurrying forward to "get overground" and eave half or more of the cotton behind them ;umbled about in the rows, bruised up or lyng flat upon the hot surface to scorch and lie, or be covered up on the return of the plows to restore the soil taken away in the riding or barring process. Good farmers, to Avoid this, will l>e with their hands while this work is going 011, for they know very well that neglected now, 110 remedy can be jpplied. Once completed, however, and a good stand secured, the crop is "pitched" or establisbljshsd, the planter can form some estimate upon the final result. Henceforth it can be cultivated with sweeps alone, rapidly passed through light soil, and enabling a single plow to keep well up with thirty or forty acres. In stiff soils, as in the river and creek bottoms, not so much. In putting cotton to a stand there are various opinions among planters as to distance and number of stalks to the hill. It is argued that two or three stalks to the hill, eighteen inches or two feet apart insures a better stand, and, therefore, more fruits; but we see no real advantage in any one of these stands over another. A good stand, according to one method of producing it, is the same as by every other method. Fattening Fowls.?Fowls to be palatable and tender should be fattened quickly. From eight to ten days are sufficient. Place the birds in a roomy coop, in some outbuilding, where they wib be free from draft and in a modified light. The morning food should be given as early as possible, and should consist of good, sweet, yellow corn meal, mixed with one-third its quantity of heavy wheat middlings ; mix with boiling water, and in the water should be chandler's scraps sufficient to make the water quite greasy. To every two quarts of feed, every other day, mix a tablespoonful of powdered charcoal before the water is poured on the feed. Let it stand covered up; after being mixed for twenty minutes then feed. At noon use the meal leaving out the middlings, and in its place put in all the table scraps you can get and some finely chopped cabbage. Use the charcoal only in the morning feed. At night feed corn that has been boiled until it luvs swollen twice its natural size. Every other day add to noon feed a little buckwheat (in grain). Give water after ?ach feed. Warm sweet milk is best if you Iiave it to spare. Give during the day, but always give water for drink at night. Do not feed anything for at least twelve hours before tilling, and let the last feed be soft food ; and f you would like a nice gamy flavor to the neat let it contain a good proportion of chopped celery. Fowls fed in this way fatten very rapidly, and their flesh is tender, juicy and :empting.?American Farmer. Nutrition in Fish, Flesii and Fowl.? Professor Atwater, of the Agricultural college of Connecticut, has deduced from the various analyses and investigations of chemists a table illustrating the comparative nutritive value of various species of fish, flesh and fowl. Some of its conclusions will surprise nany persons, inasmuch as they are directly contrary to generally received notions on the subject. As a basis the professor takes medium beef?neither fat nor lain?as having a lutritive of 100. He puts fat pork at 116, rmoked beef at 146, smoked ham at 157, ordirary beef at 91.3, mutton at 86.6, butter at 124.1, cheese, from skimmed milk, at 150, iens' eggs at 72.2. In fresh fish the highest ilaee is given to salmon, 107.0. Spanish nackerel are estimated of 105.0. boned cod at LOO (above all fresh fish, save salmon), canned ralmon at 107 and salt mackerel at 111.1. DysteTs, supposed by many to be so nutritious, it 21.8, and lobsters at 50.3. A very satisfactory i?oint in this estimate is that what is the jheapest is the most nourishing. The exceptional nutritive character of smoked and dried preparations is due to the evaporation of moistire and compression of tissue. The enormous imount of nutriment in cheese explains the rast consumption of American cheese in England, where one sees laborers eating it freely. Experiments with Black Peas.?I have made two experiments with black peas, which I think may be of some benefit to my brother farmers. The first of June, 1879, I sowed a lot in black peas and about the middle of the following September I turned in a lot of hogs on them, and at the same time 1 seeded it in winter oats, it having occurred to me that the tiogs would root and trample the seed in the mmndand I would cret a cood stand without plowing. I turned the hogs off as soon as they had eaten up the peas and I found I had i good stand of oats, and I never made a better crop from similar land. I tried a second jxperiment last fall with rye and now have a promising crop. It was seeded late with an unfavorable fall, the pea vines falling down ind covering the surface of the land afford tine protection to the oats against freezes, and will most any season insure a crop. The cotton planter finds it difficult to spare the time to seed and plow in oats in September, the time [ think they ought to be seeded to insure them igainst winter freezing, and by dispensing ivith the plowing he is enabled to seed his oats it the proi>er time, which he could not othervise do. I hope some of my brother farmers villtest these experiments this fall and report :esults.?if. L. Hurt, in Jiurul Mcssemjcr. Give the Boys a Chance.?Father, give your son a patch of an acre or two this year for Iris own, and let him exercise his judgment in preparing the land, and cultivating and planting the crop. If he wishes to try a different plan of working his crop from what you lave always pursued, let him do it. Encour?ge him to think for himself. He will take a leeper interest in farming, and see new beauty in farm life. A boy who works always by orders, and is never given an opportunity for the exercise of his own judgment, becomes a mere tool, as it were, and never develops a capacity for any business. Make him realize that he has a mind, and feel that you expect something of him ; and there is no better way >f doing this than b. giving him a patch of his )wn, to be worked by him and the proceeds to oe enjoyed by him. You will lose nothing by it in a financial point of view, and you will levelop your boy into a thoughtful, industries man and farmer. Try it this year. Butter Easily Spoiled.?Of all the prolucts of the farm, butter is the most liable to je tainted by noxious odors floating in the atnosphere. Our people lai 1 some veal in the :ellar, from which a little blood flowed out md was neglected until it had commenced to smell. The result was that a jar of butter we vere packing smelled and tasted like spoiled >eef. We know of an instance where there vas a pond of filthy, stagnant water a few uindred feet from the house, from which an (ffensive effluvium would be borne on the sreeze directly to the milk room when the wind vas in a certain direction, the result of which vas that the cream and butter would taste ike the disagreeable odor from the pond. As oon as the pond was drained there was 110 lamaged butter. It is remarkable how easily sutter is spoiled. Coffee Cake.?One cup of sugar, one cup f butter, one egg and one cup of molasses well nixed together; then add one cup of strong rarm coffee, with a teaspoonful of soda disolved in it, four cups of flour, one pound of aisitis stoned and chopped fine, one tablespoonul each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
