the shaft during the night, and worked his

SA:nixa STOCK.-One of the most
I importait things to attend to In the
,are of farm stock of every kind, Is that
they have access at all times to salt.
mi this oonnetion we would again call
mttentonm to the practice In vogtie with
ninny farmer's, in that they salt irre
gulairly, and at such times with too li
beral a hanid T1hus anilmals will gorge
themelves, amid this oftenm results in
sever'e purgiing. Again, wheni salt Is
thrown about on the ground to be licked
uip, the lat'ger animals get more than
thney shmoukli, amid the smialler ones little
or' none. Besides, injutry to weak ant
nmals Is oftLenm the m'esumlt of this strug
gle. Thme proper way to salt stock 18
to have stilt lamced uinder cover, where
they may got it every (lay if thmey wish.
Inm this way they take just what they
wvamnt amid nio more, and while eating
what is necessary f'or them, they never
take enough to do thetm injury. Th'lus
ettle wili seldom take more than anm
ordnlmar'y tablespoonful per day, amid
Lhmle Is about what they require in sumi
mer as ani akid to proper digestomn.
SAND FOR S'rABL.5.-No0r thme past two
years I have' used - consideraible sand to
good advanitage, bothm to my ci'ops amid
amid, as an a bsor'benmt. For this pur'
pose 1 conmstructed otn the back side of
the stable two boxes, one at each end of
thme stale, aboumt five feet in wIdth, ten
feect imn lemngth and six in hieighit, tilling
theum thi'oughi time suimmr and ftill withm
dr'y sand using it with little trouble or
labor f'or the cows thr'oughi time winter.
The use of samd keeps thmo stable dr'y
andl sweet, and also absorbs most of the
lmqutid manure, Saind also cuts time nman
ure, sothamt it is more easily wvorked and
spread. I had bef ore used sand to sonme
extent; but, having no convemnient
p~lace to store it, whmen dry, could not
use it inm winter. I have also found
band excellent for milxing inm the hog
pen, making the manutre fine. I have
used such manure to advantage for pota
toes In time hilh, as wvil as for cor'n."
~Iis Prujudice,
Whien' Ddnnis Run firdt began 'to pan ouit
largely olcagimnusly, Tldleute did'flot con
tain within her limits an undertaker, but
d1i( an 01(d resIdent, well known for his
eceentricitlee,.:ngongfl which .was hitense
hatred of secret societIes. It-Ao happened
that wheni tpie great death took place on the
run, this party and a friend were walking
umponi the stredt and were the fIrst persomns
encoumntered by the messenger, a straniger to
b~othi, semit to-town for a cofin, Theo fol
hqwig colloquy ensued.:
