A WILD WESTERS WEDDING.
It appears that one Joints Burton had been
chosen justice of the peace of one of the
small Wyoming towns. Among other functions
of his office the Hon. Jonas one day
found himself called on to join in the "bonds
of padlock," as matrimony is sometimes
called in the West, a raw young couple from
up the country. His honor was appalled at
the situation. But as justice of the peace he
had to' do it, and his perturbation of spirit
was dreadfhl to witness.
"All in favor o' me proceedin' as authorized
by law, say 'I'" said Burton.
Everybody said "I"
"Contrary, 4No.
"The motion is carried unanimously, an'
the court rules that thar hain't nothin' to
prevent the tryin' of the case. Grip your
fins." The candidates joined hands. "Amos
Peabody, do you solemnly swa'r that ye'll
freeze to 'Mandy forever an' treat 'er square
an' white acoordin' to the rules an' regulations
sot down to govern sich cases in the
laws of the TJnited States, so help yer God?"
"Yaas, sir; I do, sir."
"That fixes your end o' the bargain.
'Mandv Thomas, do you solemnly swa'r that
yH hang on to Amos for all comin' time;
that yll nuss him in sickness and be square
to him in wellness; that y'll be to him a
good, true, honest, up-and-up wife to him,
under the penalties prescribed by the laws
for the punishment of such offences; do you
swa'r this, so help yer God ?"
"I swa'r I will."
"Then, by the power invested in me as
justice of the peace in an' fur this precinct, I
pronounce yon, Amos Peabody, husband,
an' you, 'Mandy Thomas, wife, an' legalize
ye to remain as such now an' furthermore;
an' yell stand oommitted till the fees an'
costs in the cases be paid in foil, an' may
God have mercy on yer souls, an' bless this
union with his healthiest blessins."?Brooklyn

Only a Gimlet.?"I should like to sell
you a gimlet," said a careworn looking man
as he walked into an office the other day.
"We have no use for one," replied the cashier.
"Bat you should always look into the
misty future," went on the fiend, demurely.
"Next winter you will want to make holes
in your booth eels, so as to get your skates
on." "I use club-skates?no straps required."
"You may want to screw some boards
together some time. The old-fashioned method
of driving the screws in with a hammer
is pernicious, as it deteriorates the tenacity
of the fangs of the screw, as it were."
"Nothing today, sir." "This gimlet acts as
a corkscrew." "I don't want it." "It also
may be used as a tackhammer, a cigar holder
and a toothbrush." "I don't want it."
"It has an eraser, a pen and ink-stand, a table
for computing compound interest and a
lunch-box attachment." "I can't help it; I
don't want it." "I know you don't; you're
one of those men that don't buy a gimlet
unless it has a restaurant and a trip to Europe
and an Italian opera company attached.
You're the kind of man who would live near
an electric light to save a gas bill." And the
careworn man walked out with his mental |
(plumage on the perpendicular, sighing at the
dullness of his hearer.
Didn't Know all His Neighbors.?A
distinguished clergyman once asked a gentleman
to contribute money for foreign missions,
and received the reply:
"I don't believe in foreign missions; I
don't give anything except to home missions.
I wan't to benefit my neighbors."
"Well," responded the doctor, "whom do
you regard as your neighbors ?"
"Why, those around me."
"Do you mean those whose land joins
yours ?"
"Yes."
"Well, how much land do you own ?"
"About 500 acres."
"How far down do you own it ?"
"Well, I never thought of it before, but I
suppose I own halfway through."
"Exactly," was the reply. "I suppose
you do, and I want this money for the Chinese,
the men whose lands join yours on the
bottom."
I?*"Is there any ford here?" asked an
English tourist, who came suddenly to a full
stop before one of the little mountain torrents
of the. West of Ireland. "Oh, to be sure,
your honor, there was a ford," said a peasant,
standing at the brink, and making a
hundred grimaces of civility. When was
it ?" said the tourist. "Before the bridge was
built," said the peasant; "but when a man
and horse went over the bridge, the ford was
out of use." "Well, now that the bridge
has broken down, I suppose that the ford has
got into use again. Is it safe?" "To be
sure your honor, all but the middle. But
that's nothing; if you can swim, there is no
better ford in the country." "But I cannot
swim." "Then, your honor, the only safe
way I know of is, as soon as you get beyond
vour depth, to walk back again."
It Looked That Way.?At one of the
Northern depots lately an old lady, whom
an inward train had just deposited, timidily
approached a brakeman and asked if he
knew whereabouts on the line her nephew
was e&ployed. "Abner?" said the railroad
man. "Oh, he's been changed about considerably
lately. He fired the John Edward
till she ditched the graves and he got
stove in. When he came out they gave him
the Owl for a while; then he broke the
two-eight passenger till she jumped a knownothing,
and he got pinched somewhere,
and now I believe he's spare round the
yard. You see he's had hard luck." The
old lady stood speechless for a moment as if
trying to digest the idioms of the railroad,
and then said softy, as if at a hazard,.that
she "thought he had."?Boston Globe.
A Correction.?Over the great Los Angeles
earthquake the communities down
South are excessively proud. They claim
that a man at San Fernando was actually
thrown out of his bed by the shock. That
this is untrue can be seen by perusing the
following dispatch:
"Editor: Please correct the statement in
daily papers. My husband was not thrown
out of bed by any earthquake. I threw him
out of bed myself, and I'll do it every time
he comes home intoxicated, and lies down
at the foot of the bed and puts his muddy
boots in my face. (Signed) Jane Wilkins."

Underrated Himself.?A candidate for
office near Salem was elected by a very small
majority in a small poll. His supporters
called on him, agreeably to a general invitation,
to tender their congratulations. He
employed a caterer to serve a lunch, instructing
him to provide for a number equal
to all the votes he received. About four
times as many came, and in his speech of
welcome, he said: "Gentlemen, I had an
idea my election was a mighty tight fit, but
I should judge from the number present that
I was chosen unanimously !"
A little girl, who was left in charge of
the house by her mother, with special warning
against going into a press containing certain

closet on the lady's return. Vexed at her
daughter's disobedience, she asked her if she
knew who it was that tempted her to do
wrong. "It was Satan," said the girl. "Then
you should have said : 'Get thee behind me,
Satan !'" said the lady. "So I did, mother,"
replied the girl, "but then he pushed me into
the press."

SEEDING WHEAT.
How Much Seed Should be Used per Acre
to Insure the Largest Results.
Experiments in seeding with different
quantities of wheat were begun on the farm
belonging to the Ohio State university severil
years previous to the establishment of the
2xperiment station. These experiments have
been continued on the same farm by the sta-!
tion and the tenth experiment has been harvested.
In this experiment two varieties of
ivheat were used, Dietz and Velvet ChafT
Penquite's velvet). The land on which they
vere sown had borne nine successive crops
if wheat, having been dressed three times
svith barnyard manure during that period.
Tho land oeeunied bv the Velvet wheat
ies upon a gravel knoll, sloping to the west,
;he gravel coming in some places to within
:wo or three feet of the surface. The wheat
>n this knoll has. for several seasons been less
rigorous than mother parts of the field, and
;his season especially it was badly infested
with the wheat midge, commonly known as
red weevil.
The Dietz wheat grew upon land of a little
letter quality, and sloping to the east instead
>f the west. It was but slightly injured by
nsects. The results for this year are given
n the following table, the yield given in
mshels per acre. The plots were exactly
>ne-tenth acre each in size:

8 pecks, 22.9 27.2
9 pecks, 22.2 26.3
0 pecks, 23.6 26.3
It will be observed that while the yields of
he Velvet are irregular they do not favor
rery thin seeding. In the case of the Dietz,
lowever," the results are decisive. Every
ime the seed falls below four pecks or rises
ibove seven there is a falling off in yield.
The following table gives the average reults
of this series of experiments for ten
'ears :

In the long run, seeding at from five to

vhen less or more seed was used.
A Cup of Coffee.?To make a cup of
;ood coffee an essential art is requisite. Many
comen who pride themselves, and justly,
ipon their skill, fail here. For early risers
ind those who require an early breakfast,
here is a mode of making coffee so coramony
practiced as to be almost universal in this
ountry, and is simply to boil the ground
offee for a few minutes, and then either setle
the grounds with cold water, or give them
ime to settle gradually. This mode can be
neatly improved by stopping the spout with
i> cork, cloth or paper, thus preventing the
scape of the steam which arises from boilng
coffee. By the escape of the steam we
ose much of the aromatic flavor that renlers
coffee so palatable. Let those who cook
:offee after this method try our plan, and
hey will find a vast improvement. An emnent
chemist recommends the following as a
avorite way of making this now uuiversal
leverage : Three-fourths of the coffee should
>e boiled and the remaining fourth infused,
ifter which the whole should be mixed. By
his means both the strength and flavor are
ncreased. To preserve the flavor of ground
:offee, it should be wet with the syrup of sujar
and then covered with powdered sugar;
n this way the volatile parts of the coffee
ire prevented from escaping. As heretofore
aid, coffee after being roasted should be
:ept excluded from the air and kept in a
Iry place if not used at once, as it absorbs
irom the atmosphere and gradually loses its
lavor.
The Best Money Crop.?The best money
:rop that the farmer can produce upon his
arm is the manure crop. Let us once conlider
manure as a crop, and the one upon
vhich all other crops depend?let us come
o see and consider that so many pounds of
obacco or so many barrels of corn per acre
iepends upon producing first so many loads
>f manure per acre then we will begin to
ake as much interest in producing a good
srop of manure as in growing a big crop of
:orn, etc.
A big crop of manure on the farm is worth
nore for producing large crops of other
hings than everything else combined. Culivation,
the best seed, the most propitious
seasons, are as nothing compared to manure.
The fall is the time to start out on a manure
;rop. Litter all the stalls and keep them
ittered ; mulch the fields; compost the rubfish
; collect dead trees and logs, and burn
hem for ashes; gather everything about the
arm that will resolve itself into manure,
ind keep on in the same line all winter, for
;he manure crop.
Sick Headache.?A recent medical writer
;hus accounts for sick headache, from which
so many persons suffer. He attributes it to
i weak stomach and imperfect digestion, and
- 11 -3 ?1 t-_
>ays that the attacks are usually preceueu uy
i greater than ordinary appetite. The stomich
is naturally weak and so long as it is
tot crowded it works kindly. By and by
nore food is put iuto it?or more irritating |
dnds?than it can digest. It ferments, an
icid is produced, the acid acts as an irritant
ipon the coats of the stomach, and this irritant
is taken for a call for food, to satisfy
tvhich, more is taken, and all to no purpose;
md the stomach revolts, but with the rest
luring the headache, and the relief from the
vomiting, it recovers its wonted tone. If
ihis be correct, the remedy is a very simple
jne; abstinence from food for a meal or two,
or a denial of the unnatural ciavings of the
ippetite, would seem to be all that is required.
Sufferers from this disease should
;est the value of this advice.
Prime Butter.?A method ip practice
imong the butter makers in England for reniering
butter firm and solid during the hot
iveather is as follows: Carbonate of soda and
ilum are used for this purpose, made into
" ? /.fUnHo. nnn
powaer. rur tweut^ puunuo ui uubiu vuv
:easpoonful corbonate of soda and one teajpoonful
of powdered alum are mingled together
at the time of churning and put into
;he cream. The effect of this powder is to
nake the butter come firm and solid and to
jive a clean, sweet flavor. It does not en;er
into the butter, but its action is upon the
jream, and it passes off in the buttermilk.
The ingredients of the powder should not be
mingled together until required to be used,
ar at the time the cream is in the churn
ready for churning.
B&T It is surprising how small is the number
of shade trees necessary to produce a
striking effect. Ten or twelve trees skilfully
disposed, on the sides or brow of a hill,
ire often sufficient to give it an air of richness,
harmonizing perfectly with a highly
aultivated country. A single tree by a farmer's
house protects it and gives it an air of
peace and contentment. An unprotected
solitary house gives a chilly, lonesome, barren
impression. At this season of the year,
when every intelligent farmer is making plans
for the future, let the planting of a few shade
md many fruit trees, in desirable spots about
bis premises, be included in the work for the
year.?American Cultivator.
Mixture for Cleaning Grease Spots.
Equal parts of strong ammonia water, ether
and alcohol, form a valuable cleaning compound.
Pass a piece of blotting paper under
the grease spot, moisten a sponge, first with
water, to render it "greedy," then with the
mixture, and rub the spot with it. In a moment
it is dissolved, saponified and absorbed
by the sponge and blotter.
BOT An authority upon such subjects states
that fig leaves make as fine yeast as hops.
The fully matured leaves are boiled the same
as hops and strong tea thus made and used in
the same way as the hops tea. It is said it
never loses its strength, and can be kept a
year as well as a few weeks.?California
Fruit Grower.
JP3T All kinds of dried fruit should bestewjd
long and slowly. Tiny bits of lemon and
arange peels, together with the juice of two
ar three oranges and lemons, are a very desirable
addition. Only the thin,yellow part
3f the rind must be used, and care taken to
:ake out the seeds. The sugar should be
uldcd when the fruit is about half done.

TWO VALUABLE OPINIONS.
THE following testimonials from Messrs. Harand

Harrow, should, we think, be convincing to nnd
man who knows either or both of these gentlemen
either personally or by reputation. Read
what they say:
Chester, s. C, March 27, 1890.
Sam M. Grist, Yorkvllle,S. (j.: Dear sir: t nave
owned a Corbln Disk Harrow for several years, and
consider It the most useful and economical farming
Implement of which I have any knowledge. Mr.
Corbln has done more for the farmer than all the
politicians, reformers, etc., combined- He has done
something practical. No farmer can fall to be benefitted
by the use cf the Harrow, and the more It 1b
used the greater the benefit or profit. It is almost the I
only so-called Improved farming Implement that I i
have ever seen that would do all Its manufacturers
claimed for It, and the only one that would do more.
Every farmer should have one and a man who is able .
to buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy a .
Corbln Disk Harrow. The time will come when the
Corbln Disk Harrow will be considered as much of a
necessity on the farm as the wagon, sewing machine,
cooking Btove, and I might say, the plow; and the
sooner It comes the better for the fanner. It only
takes a farmer, who has been accustomed to the old
way of doing things, about one hour to realize how
much time and labor he has literally wasted fcefore .
ho used the Corbln Harrow. In conclusion, let me ?
say that I would not pretend to farm without It. ,

Harrow over It one time; but better results will be f
obtained If the Harrow Is run over t he ground two or j
three times. As a time and money saver, aside from ,
the superior quality of work It dees, Its value can '
hardly be estimated at the seasons at which the small 1
f;rnln is sown. The Harrow is very useful in pulverzing
rough plowed land of any kind, especially bot- 1
toms, and It will pay any farmer to use one. Unlike j
the ordinary tootn, or Acme Harrow, it not only pul- f
verlzes the surface, but will pulverize to the depth to .
which the plow has gone and often deeper. . It can be .
used to advantage on land that is too wet to plow, 1
without Injury to the land. There should, In my <
opinion, be a Disk Harrow on every well regulated t
farm, and In my opinion no harrow yet Introduced Is i
equal to the Corbln In simplicity, durability and t
thoroughness of work. Respectfully, .
R. E. Guthrie.
Now you have resolved that you are going j
to sow a big crop of wheat ana oats this fall.
You need a Disk Harrow in order to be able to
put them in properly and at umall cost, and, ,
ohnvA nil in order to secure a food yield. You ,
should not delay purchasing the harrow another
day, as my supply is limited and it will be some
time before another invoice can be shipped from
the factory. SAM M. GRIST, Sole Agent.

LAST year, by an arrangement with the HOL- nr
LEK A ANDER80N BUGGY CO., of Rocft el
Hill, S. C., we were enabled to offer one of their Q
popular No. 2 Road Carte as a premium to club t<
makers. We are pleased to announce that this n
year we are enabled, by an arrangement with the 2A
same company, to surpass all previous efforts, ti
T" f<">* Hnn'f.hftUAvnthat creator inducements al
have ever been offered to c)ub makers by any
county newspaper in the South than we are pre- ft
pared to offer, and we think the above assertion n
will be endorsed by the friends and readers of w
The Enquirer after reading our prospectus for n
1892, which appears elsewhere in this issue. p
We Want to Tell Yon Something &
About the Holler <fe Anderson Buggy Co. It is ?
composed of thoroughly reliable men and they
are entirely familiar with their business. They aj
have only been manufacturing for the wholesale
trade for about four or five years, but the reputation
of their work is fast spreading in every
direction. They build as durable, as fine and as
well finished work as is either made or sold in
the South. At least that is what those who claim o
to know, say about it. k
We Have Determined i1
This year to offer one of their celebrated Buggies 2
as a premium to the club maker who may secure e
and pay for the largest number of NEW 8UB- ?
SCRIBERS between NOVEMBER I, 1891, and I
the SECOND MONDAY IN FEBRUARY. 1892,
up to 1 o'clock, p. m., and we would call the c
; attention of all who desire to compete for this 8
very desirable premium to what is said in ref- 8
1 erence to it in our regular prospectus.
