A:Florida Duel. A novel duel recently took place in Florida. Just how the quarrel between them originated is a profound mystery, but the fuss first commenced at a picnic, and is supposed to have been about some trivial remark which was made by one of the young men and takcn up by the other. A rather lengthly quarrel ensued at the picnic ground; both young men were held apart by their friends and allowed to expend their wrath in words. Tie matter was set tied for that day, but, of course, insults had been given that could only be washed out by gore, and as soon as one of the young men got home he wrote out a chal lenge and handed it to a friend to deliver. 'rho challenge was delivered and promptly accepted. T )to matter was left to two young men to arrange, and it was settled that the duel should be fought at an old place known as Merritt's Mill, at twilight, the weapons to be shot guns, loaded with buckahot, distance to be thirty paces. The young men secured the services of a sur geon, and also invited several friends to witness the sport, as they intended to load the guns with only a charge of powder in the first round and the next. to load with popcorn. The place selected was in a large clearing in the middle of a large, beputiful cluster of magnolias. About sun set, one of the seconds, accompanied by his ptiincipal, a surgeon and a shot-gun, arrived in the middle of the grove, and in a few moments tle other side of the party arrived. Tie ground was measured off, the arrange ments for firing made, and just as the sun was setting through the trees the two men, with blood-thirsty designs, were placed facing each other at the distance of thirty paces, each with, as he supposed, a loaded shot-gun 1biis hands. It was arranged that one of the scorers should stand at a point where both men could see hin, and at the proper moment should drop a hand kerchief, which was the signal to fire. At the given signal both men fired, and whe, the smoke cleared away it was discovered that, both men were stanaing. ''his was a mystery to both o1 them, and they deter mined to lessen the distance to lifteen pacer. The seconds agreed to this, and they were placed fifteen paces nearer to each other. Tihie seconds then eiured to a little ,Ianco to load the guns, and in a few .inutes placed them in the hands of the niett, both heavily loaded with popcora. The second fire turned out more seriously than the other, and cost one of thetm an eye, anti both of them a great deoal of pain. 'T'l distance was so short that the corn wits carried with terrible force, andI nearly the full charges struck both men. One of them was stiutck full in tle fae and one of hia 0, US iotlllI detstroyed. The effect can lie inagined if the guns had beca loaded with buckshot, as it was intended that, they should be. The Cocktle Hu1r. This is one of the worst weeds that trouble the farmer. Although its seol are not scattered far by the winds, they have a variety of ways of getting over. the ground. They attach themselves to the wool of sheep, the hair of cattle, horses and wild animals, and to Ohe feathers of some kinds of birds. They are swept away from fields in floodi, andti are carried long distances in streams ind rivers. The'y will stand miore abuse than a stray dog without receiving any permianent injury. Tihey catuse a large anmount of work when they spring up in fields that are under cul tivation. The presence of the weeds in a grain field catuses a large reduction in the crop.

AGRICULTURE. DuRING the past few years several appli ances have been Introduced for the purpose i of affording protection from the rays of the f sun. Among them may be mentioned cano- I pies that extend over the seats of mowing t machines, harvesters, riding cultivators, ' sulky plows and hay rakes drawn by 1 horses; small shades for the heads of draft f animals; linings for hate that will hold a L considerable amount of water, and sponges c saturated with water and placed on top of i the bridles of horses. All of these have v been highly benefial for the purpose for I: which they were designed, and their em- Ii ployment should become more general. f The condition of animals in pasture could i be rendered more comfortable by providing more shade on farms that are situated on open prairies. Trees afford the cheapest shade, and a pastuce should contain a suf- t flcient number to afford ample protection t to all the stock it contains. Bass or linden q or cottonwood trees grow very rapidly and j have a large a nount of foliage. Elms r make a slower growth, but are long livers I and produce much shade. A cheap pro- t tection against the rays of the sun may be a made by erecting an open frame of light t materials and covering it with hardy vines. s Tito American ivy and iId grane vines are admirable for the purpose. The branches of trees and the foliage of vines not only prolect the stock from the rays of the sun, but, they render the ground beneath tneni cool. attle and sheei that have no pro. a tection from the sun during the hot weath er of July andi August, often stiffer greatly and fall off in condition. I AN exchange says the annual recurrence a of nuimerous barn burnings immediately after harvest, and at the time when such disaster entails the greatest loss on the far mer, gives rise ar.ow to the discussion of the various theories of "pontaneous com bustion " It is very widely held among larmeas, and just as earnestly denied by many of them, that damp oats or hay will give out a degree of heat that will cause a conflagradion, and that a piece of iron or a steel fork left in the body of the grain will intensify the danger. It is a nooted ques tion of great interest that can easily be set tled by scientific investigation, a'nd to which our agricultural societies should give their attention. The farmers want illununtion on the subject of a different sort from that which is afforded by their L'lazing barns. t A winiTHit well acquainted wil h dairy mat ters says tLat during the summer in order to obtain the best results from them, milch cows o-ight to be fed on meal and bran. 'TIhey siouild stand in a darkened stable, between eieven and four o'clock during fly time, and within these hours they may be fed 'I his is far bettir ti i to let them graze duriig the entihe (lay, and they will prove it by restilts, and when youi see a cow seratclng igalist a tree be bure that she needs curtying. She will stant fihe opera tion as a kitten will stand stroking. A cow needs as much currying and cleaning as a horse. A PARMEa who claims to have great sue. cess in, raising potatoes says that he gets his best results by preparing tihe usual way, and when ready to plant he takes his wag.. on and goes to tle woods and gets loads of leaves, which lie readily find in the hollows and beside logs, and as he plants lie pn-s a snudl fork full of this leaf mould InO mach hill. The potatoes grow to an unusual size. There is an absence of sinah potatoes, and the crop in every way, incl-ding (igging, is greatly benetitted. At. idea woi th t ying at, least.
