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. 'Th'e burs in wool detract largely

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.

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.

between eieven and four o'clock during fly
time, and within these hours they may be

may safely be said to cost nothing, as the
