JUST LIKE JOHN. ~ A woman clad in deep mourning went through the menagarie yesterday, stopping to admire each of the animals in turn, and every now and then applying her handkerchief assiduously to her eyes, says the Burlington Free Press. When sne came to the camel, it was evident that she had come to stay. She sat down on one of the posts that held the rope and began to catechise the attendant. "This is the camel, ain't it?" "Yes'm?and the finest specimen in this menagerie or in any menagerie in the country." "Do tell! How that reminds me of John. John was always at the head of the heap. Now, do tell me some of the peculiarities of the camel?won't you ?" "Yes, ma'am. He has a long neck." "Just like John! H^had the longest neck you ever saw on/i man. Gracious! I wish you could haye seen the standing collars he used to wear. Come, now, tell me something mor^" "The camel hayftie largest natural hump of any animal i^xistence/V^*-""'**""" "Just like John! Ypjuflwer saw a man that couldyluim^rfmself as John could, when he bRdjuwmd to." "The jftmefTs also a great traveler." "Ju^QjCe John! I never could keep him at honlenights." "He is called the shh) of the desert." "Just like John! He could get more pie aboard than any other man in Vermont." Just then the lion began to roar, and the woman started On the dead trot to see how much meat they could eat at one meal. "There's one thing I hain't told you about this animal?the most important of all." "What's that?" cried the woman, turning round in her tracks. "He can go for weeks without drinking a drop of water." "Just like John!" exclaimed the excited female. "You never saw a man?" But the lions began to roar so loud that her voice was lost to the attendant of the camel; and he forgot all about the little incident, until later in the day, when he saw a female in black in front of the monkeys' cage and heard her explain, by way of comment on some remark of the keeper? "Just like John!" She Was "Afraid" He'd Stop.?a young woman from the country was suing her ex-sweetheart for breach of promise, i ii * ? 1 ?n ana me lawyers were, as usuai, making an sorts of inquisitive interrogatories. "You say," remarked one, "that the defendant frequently sat very close to you?" "Yes, sir," was the reply, with a hectic flush. "How close?" "Close enough, so's one cheer was all the sitting rooto we needed." "And you say he put his arms around you ?" "No, I didn't." "What did you say, then ?" "I said he put both arms around me." "Then what?" "He hugged me." "Very hard?" "Yes, he did. So hard that I came purty nearhollerin' right out." "Why didn't you holler?" "'Cause." "That is no reason. Be explicit, please. Because what?" "'Cause I was afeered he'd stop." The Court fell off the bench and had to be carried out and put under the hydrant for the purpose of resuscitation.?Chicago Trihnmp.. Why He Went to Canada.?A Canadian, meeting in Canada a gentleman from Louisville, kindly asked : "How is your health, and how did you happen to leave so flourishing a place as Louisville ?" "Well," said the exiled Louisviller, "it was very unfortunate, but I blame myself entirely. Instead of getting a city office I went into business. My necessities comfpelling me to steal, I stole. Then I had to it. If I could have got some place where could lmve stolen from the city, I might have been at this moment a happy man at home and in the bosom of my family. Stranger, if you ever go to the United States, don't go into business; go into politics!" The Canadian was so touched that he immediately loaned the gentleman from Louisville $5 and turned away to conceal his emotion.?Courier-Journal. -A Perfect Preservative.?Mr. Runaround was out late the other night, and the next morning at breakfast, in order to "justify" himself, he remarked to his wife: "Pet, we have been married twenty years, and you look almost as young as you did then." "You have hot changed a particle," she responded, sweetly. "Not changed!" he answered in surprise, remembering his gray locks and ruby nose. "Why, how can you say that?" "Because things preserved in alcohol nev er change," she answered. Mr. R. buttered his napkin ring, under the impression that it was a muffin, and the meal progressed in silence.? Washington Hatchet. Young Jarpiiley's Scheme No Good. "Pah," said young Jarphley, "I've got a scheme." "Ah ! wot is it my son ?" cautiously asked hi9 father. "To raise money?lots of it!" enthusiastically responded the Jarphleys' heir. "How?" "Why, you get on a horsecar and fall off and break your leg, and mah and I'll sue the company." "It won't work, Johnnie," snappishly replied Mrs. Jarphley. "We couldn't prove that it disabled him from following his usual occupation of lying around."?Pittsburg Chronicle. Getting tooSmart for His Clothes.? "Did Washington ever take the stump?" inquired a young would-be statesman. "No, nor anything that didn't belong to him," replied his father. "Could Washington be nominated now?" "Not under civil service rules, child. He couldn't spell 'clothes' correctly." "He brought tho revolutionary war to it, successfully, didn't he?" "Broughtit to what?" "To a close." "You are getting too smart for your clothes, young man."?Louisville CourierJournal. Equal to a Regiment.?"Pa," said a little Kentucky boy, "what is the title of a man who commands a regiment?" "Colonel, my son." "Do you command a regiment?" "Yes, somewhat. I do not command a regiment of soldiers," the colonel explained. "We are having times of peace, now. I only command your mamma." "Is my mamma a regimeut?" "Yes, indeed," he replied, with a sigh, "your mamma is a regiment?a whole regiment."?Philadelphia Call.

Ihc (fatm and maidr. WINTER RYE. Winter rye cannot be sown any too soon. If sowed early it is less apt to winter kill; it will require less seed, the growth will be stouter, and production greater, other things being equal, than if the sowing was deferred till late in autumn. It is sown early to great advantage, in order to yield green food for cattle and sheep, particularly the latter. Rye is capable of being cultivated on most kinds of land, but the light, sandy soils, where wheat will not thrive, are the sorts of soil on which it will generally speaking, be found most profitable to raise this eroD. When rve is sown upon light land it ripens much earlier than on a cold, stiff ground. Some sow their winter rye at the hoeing of Indian corn, and hoe it in. This is good a practice, when it is sown on flat land, or on a rich and heavy soil, where grain is apt to suffer by the frost of winter; for the plants of rye will be mostly on the corn hills, and so will most commonly escape injury from frost, or as many of them as are necessary to give a good crop. The plants that are killed will be those in the low space between the hills. The quantity of seed to be sown on an acre should vary according to the time of sowing, and the purposes for which it is intended. If it be sown in the latter part of August or beginning of September, and is intended to remain for a seed crop, the quantity should vary from thirty-two to forty-eight quarts, according to the goodness of the soil. Later sowing requires more seed, and in some cases two bushels to an acre will not be too great a quantity, for where the blade, haum or stalks form the primary objects a much larger proportion of seed is requisite than when the crop is meant for harvesting. Winter rye affords the earliest spring food. It will be ready for feeding by April, and when young, affords a wholesome but rathea laxative food. It should be consumed before it shoots into ear, and dry food is recommended to be fed with it. Rye is much infested by a very poisonous fungus called ergot. The poisonous influence of this fungus extends not only to hujnan bein^s, but insects settling on it are killed, and swine and other animals eating it in their fX/vl /15q miaopahtu in afrnno1 p/>nvulsions. IV/V/U J UiV * * WV. ?...D WW? } and with mortifying ulcers. Ergot of rye is, however, in the hands of a skilful physician, useful as a remedial agent. It is chiefly found where rye grows in damp, adhesive soils. From experiments made to ascertain the proper depth of planting, it was found that from one naif incn to two inches is the depth for the seed to germinate. At the depth of one-half inch they appear above the ground in eleven days, at one inch in depth in twelve days, and at two inches deep in eighteen days. The root stalk forms itself always next below the surface of the ground, and if the grain is placed deep it must first put out its sprouts to the surlace and form its side branches in a nearer connection with the air. We never find that the sucker roots are arranged from below to above, but the contrary.?A. H. Ward in Boston Globe. The Agricultural Don't.?Don't settle down to the belief that red clover won't grow on the farm. Try it. Don't believe that nerries and the larger fruits are not wholesome in the family, but save health and obtain pleasure cheaply, by planting all that will grow. Don't fix the fence partly to-day with a promise to do it better next week. That time does not come until damage to be regretted has been done. Don't be content with half a crop when a little more labor will bring a full one. Don't try to get something out of nothing. Don't wait too much on the weather. Don't go off dissatisfied because you don't get rich by farming in a year or two. Don't discourage your children by constant complaints about your farm business. Don't buy a new farm tool until you know just how you can pay for it. Don't go fishing as long as the axe and hoe need sharpening. Don't forget tnat if you waste no time in attending to them, your crops will grow nights and Sundays. Don't abolish farm accounts, but make each cultivated field pay something above expenses annually. Don't forget that a very few acres in fruit will often pay all theexpensesof an average family. Don't use "cuss words" with any expectation of making them mend broken harness. WCli/tO/ U VWU tl/UtVf Errors in Butter Making.?There are several prominent errors in making butter which are quite common, easily pointed out and in the main easily remedied. The greatest obstacle in the way of reform is to get necessary instruction before those who commit the errors; to get their attention, win their confidence by showing them that the remedy is less laborious and the grand result is a larger and better product, consequently a better price i8 obtained for the surplus than is. possible under the old erroneous method of butter-making. The errors of butter making are: 1. Uncleanliness. 2. Too much acid in the cream. 3. Casein, or buttermilk, in a decomposed state. 4. Too much friction in churning and working the butter. 5. Bad salt and too much of it. Foul milking stables, impure water, odors from various sources, known and unknown, are errors vital in their consequences, and not generally thought of as of any importance. Good sweet milk contains one fourth more of sugar than it does of butter ; this sugar turns to acid, and if this acid is too much developed before churning the coveted aroma of good butter is lost.? Wisconsin Report. Kill the Late Weeds.?The fight with the late weeds in the corn-field should not stop with the cultivator. We have frequently seen farmers strive manfully against the pests until midsummer, and then through negligence, subject themselves to annoyance through the next season. Some weeds have a limited season of growth, and if kept rooted out until midsummer, will rarely come up again; others continue growing until severe frosts come. An old Illinois farmer said a cocklebur would come up in the morning, grow till four in the afternoon, and mature seed before the frost could kill it that night. This is an exaggeration, yet the cocklebur must be fought until there are heavy frosts. The velvet-leaf jimson, and ragweeds, will commence growth almost as late. Weeds are very prolific, and an occasional one gone to seed in the cornfield, will insure a good crop the next season. Com should not be cultivated after it is tassled, but the weeds can be cut out without disj turbing the soil. For this purpose we have [ seen a short scythe used, but we much prefer a hoe with a sharp edge. I Useful Hints.?A little water in butter i will prevent it from burning when used for 1 frying. A little saltpetre worked into butter that I has become sour and rancid will render it ! sweet and palatable. pennyroyal aistriouieu in piaces irequeuir | ed by roaches will drive them away. ! Five quarts of boiling water poured on a basket of pearline will make an excellent soft soap. Let it remain over night to harden. Lime sprinkled in fire places during the summer months is healthful. Spanish brown, mixed with a little water, will make the hearths look pretty. A pound costs ten cents and will last two or ! i three months; use a little at a time, i Leaves of parseley, eaten with a little vin! egar, will prevent the disagreeable consequences of tainted breath by onions. Flowers and shrubs should be excluded from a bed chamber. All paintings hung over the mantelpiece are liable to wrinkle with the heat. ! i ^ | j a?* Saturate a small piece of fabric with I alcohol, lay it over the burn and then cover | it with cotton or fine picked oakum. This j is the most cleanly dressing that can be ! adopted, and you will be surprised to find how quickly it will allay the nain. Disturb the dressing subsequently as little as possible and wet it occasionally with alcohol. J86TThe white of an egg is said to be a specific for fish bones sticking in the throat.

The October number will contain the great speech of the Hon. George D. Tillman, delivered at the Agricultural meeting in Greenville, on "Terracing and the Cultivation of the Cow Pea, Rye and vetch as Manure and Forage," which is worth in itself $1,000,000 to the farmers of the country, and ten times the price of the paper to any farmer who will read it. The COTTON PLANT is not a theoretical paper but each issue is made up of original and selected articles written by the best farmers and stock raisers in the country, giving inaclearand easy language their successes and failures, and the'causes thereof. Prof. W. H. WITHEROW, of Chester, one of the best teachers and educators in the State, after a careful and critical examination of The COTTON PLANT, writes: "A live teacher, with such a paper, could have a class in Agriculture, consisting of his whole School, and what an amount of useful, practical information could be communicated in this way." We solict men of every profession, merchants, farmers and manufacturers who read the Yorkville Enquirer to subscribe for The COTTON PLANT, and thus aid us in building up a State and Home enterprise. Active agents wanted-in every county in the State and South. WRITE FOR SPECIMEN COPY and terms. Address THE COTTON PLANT, MARION, S.
