Kid-glove ministersare not wanted. —At the forty-fourth anniversary of the Pittsburg Baptist Association twenty-nine ehurches reported by letter and | avoid s Agriculturist, Summer Fallows, once 80 cothmon, are now considered of questionable value as a means of bringing up the fertility of an over-cropped soil. Itis either to apply some com- mercial fertilizer, or grow @ scavenger crop, like buckwheat, ia Plow it under as green manure. There is*connderable loss of soluble plant food in a bare fallow, that growing plants will take up and hold. The mechanical improvement of a heavy soil by fallowing is not to be overlooked, and the killing of the weeds in foul land by the frequent stirring of the soil, is another important advantage gained by a summer fallow. Nearly all these good results are, however, obtained by a quick-growing crop, that is turned under before weeds have time to form seeds. Enrly Potatoes shouldbe harvested as soon as Tipe, lest wet weather cause them to sprout and rot. A second crop may be grown by planting the early and quick-growing kinds by the first ofthe month. The late crop should be kept ue a weeds and the destructive potato etle. Rocts.—Ruta-bagas or Swedish turnips may be sown until the middle of the month. The ground cleared of early potatoes 1s especialiy fitted for a crop of turnips. The soil must be Tich, deep, and mellow, and the seed, three pounds to the acre, sown in drills thirty inches apart. Wheat—-To be of the best quality wheat should be cut when the grain, crushed betw: the finger nails, breaks into flour and shows 1 signs of dough. If there isa heavy harvest, it is better to bezin the work a little before this, than to have any cut after it Is “dead ripe.” Improper shocking ot the sheaves is a great source of loss. Each bundle should be set firmly upon the ground. The best way to do this is to take one in each hand, bringing the two down with their heads close together, After three pairs have thus been placed in a Tow, two more are set on each side, making an oval shock. The heads of all the bundles are brought close together, and the cap-sheaf adjusted. A large shock may be made of four pairs of bundles with three sheayes on each side. The cap will Consist of two sheaves, and the whole shock of eighteen bundles. Oats may be cut while the straw is somewhat green. If fully ripe, cut in early morning gnd rake and bind late the following afternoon*to ing. Shock caretully, as the straw must be well cnred before being housed. When wheat follows the oat crop, the stubble may be stirred with a cultivator, to give the scattered grain a chance to sprout before plowins. Fodder Crops.—Fodder corn may be sown from week to week through July to furnish an excellent supplement to the pastures, that are frequently short and dry in late’ summer. Golden millet Is a productive fodder crop, and on rich soil is ready for cutting ina few weeks from thetime of sowing. If there is any left from green feeding, it may be cured into ex- cellent hay. Hungarian grass may be sown early this month, but thesoil must first be made rich and mellow. LIVE STOCK—HINTS AND HELPS. Horses need to be kept clean and frequently curried. Washing the legs is advisable, es- pecially if the animals are worked in mud and dust. “Clean the stables daily, to prevent the accumulation of troublesome files. A weak so- lution of carbolic acid ora decoction of smart weed will aid In keeping off the filies, while the team is in the field. Fly nets of light cloth are inexpensive, easily made, and should be worn by all work horses when ‘in the harness. Grass alone is insufficient feed; to it add a good s: ply of oatsand corn ground together and mix wet withcut hay. It is sometimes best to feed ‘he horses in the fleld, and for this a box is con- venient. It is fitted with notched side pieces, to fasten over fence boards, on which the box is hung. Feeding oats on the ground is wasteful and unpieasant. Cows.—If the flow of milk is once reduced, It is difficult to bri it up in, therefore use all the extra feed necessary io prevent the de- crease. Green fodder alone is not enough to piece out the.short pasture, and some ground feed should accompany it. A cool, dark stale is preferable for cows to a hot pasture in imid- day.

A few Sundays ago the superintendent of one of the roads (who is | one of the leading men in the Young Men's | Christian Association) that runs a milk train on 5 to his little boy who was playing | n of cars: ‘Don’t you know It y, and that you should not play with rs on the Lord's day?” The boy stopped. ked thoughtful a moment, and replied: “Yes, papa. but this is a milk train.” — Stockport, Scotland, claims to have the most wonderful Sabbath school in the world. i ship comprises 400 teachers and . and nearly 95.000 children have | passed throuch the schoo! e its commence- ent.

According to the following extracts from the Cincinnati Enquirer's account of the preliminary incidents of the Ohio democratic convention in that state the hard-tisted leaders of that party haven't much reverence for civil service reform ideas: A DUDE ON DECK. One of the earliest on deck to-day was Thoman, of the Dude Commission.

That Is Judge ‘Thoman, one of the civil se commission- ers.” And the Granger simply lifted up his voice and ejaculated, ‘Good God!" CIVIL SERVICE “REFORM.” During a lull in the more devottonal part of the exercises an Enquirer man gathered the fol- lowing opinions on the Pendieton bill and civil reform: Vietor Gutzweiler—I don’t indorse it worth a a—n, Magee.

Pendleton— t that ministers, | s than straw. Sheep intended for the butcher need abund- ant feeding. Vil cake with the ground feed is excellent. Store sheep will thrive in a good pasture, well-walered and shaded. The im- ce of a cool shelter from the hot noonday n cannot be overestimated. Sheep troubled with dysentery will retire trom the flock, and, unless looked after, may be lost. Remove the | siek animal to a cool siied, and give one ounce of castor oil, followed by bran or oat meal mash. Flies are often ‘troublesome at this season. If maggotts are found, apply tar and grease. and clip the wool closely about the uf fected part. Pigs.—If to meet the early demand, the young plgs may be pushed rapidly by good feed- ing. “Sows need rich food inabundanee, to pro- duce a full flow of milk. Young pigs should have a separate feeding place. A run in clover stubble fg relished by swine. - Provide a bed of sand in the yard or pen. Pigs to come in November should be Spoken for this month. It the stock is not what is desired, begin at once to improve It by seeur- ing the use of some pure-blooded male. ORCHARD AND NURSERY. The early varieties of fruit keep, as a rule, but a short time after ripening, and do not bear long transportation. Early apples. of good size and attractive appearance, meet with a ready sale at high prices. Those who plant orchards near large cities find their greatest profits from early varieties, as with these there is but little competition trom distant localities. Marketing Early Fruit.—It is best to pack early apples and pears in baskets or crates. Pick as soon as mature, before softening takes place, and ussort carefully, making three qualities— aes and second for market, and a -third for the pigs. Peaches.—The greater the distance from mar- ket, the more care should be given to picking. The fruit must remain hard until it reaches the consumer or retailer; any softening while’ in transportation will cause damage and loss. Preparing for the Fairs.—Those who compete for the prizes offered for the “best plate” of any variety of fruit, often select the specimens be- forehand, and by excessive thinning, cause them ta grow to a great size. Young Trees, planted last spring, are poor! prepared to endure the drouthe of pee | Ifthe surface soil can not be kept light by cultiva- tion, a mulch should be put around the tree. This may be straw, litter of any kind, chips, or even stones. All superfluous shoots, those | which start where a branch isnot needed, should be rubbed off. It 1s much better to shape the trees while young than to allow them to grow at will for years, and then cut away a large part of | the growth. Budding usually begins this month in the nur- series, the exact time for each truit being gov- erned by the condition of the stock and the ma- turity of the buds. Cherries are usually budded first, then plums, which are followed by pears. Blight is the name of the greatest aflliction of the fruit-grower. It attacks pear trees especiai- ly, and the first knowledge their owner has of its presence is the blackening and death of a branch or of the whole tree. We are unable to apply a preventive, and can anly cut away the He Portions, or the whole tree, and burn em. The Red Spider, usually regarded as a green- house pest, sometimes attacks fruit and other trees in the open air. It the teaves turn dull and brownish, it is probable that the red aplder is the cause. The insect is so small as to escape notice. If the under surface of the leaves is covered with a very thin web, and minute black- ish or red specks are seen moving about, apply either a solution of whale-ofl or soft- soap, stirring a small quantity of kerosene with the soap betore adding the water. Apply the solutions with a syringe or garden pump to the undersides of the leaves. _ THE FRUIT GARDEN. Strawberries.—The treatment of the plants after the fruit is gathered will depend upon the m of culture. If the vines are grown in le rows (the best for the family garden), re- move the mulch, cut off the runners, and fork in a dressing of fine manure or some good fertilizer. If any weeds have started in the rows, pull them by hand. Some replace the mulch to keep down weeds, while others prefer to cultivate the soil, and not apply a mulch until cold weather. In the alternate row system, the ranners are en- couraged to strike In paths that have been 5 aed mania Corecoe Gee a8 pot-layered plants are well rooted, they may be planted out.

The work should be done fn a still day. Summer-layering.—This method of propagat- ing the grape may be practiced this month, as early as the shoots are firm enough to handle. KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN. ae Asparagus.—The crop of next spring will pend aon a vigorous growth of tops this sam- mer. Do not allow any large number of tops to be cut for use as *fly-catchers,” as we osten see done. Every plant cut now means several spears less next spring. The thick mass of tops will keep down most weeds; if an occasional tall “pig-weed” establishes itself, pull it up. if seeds were sown to grow plants for making a new plantation, keep the bed clear of weeds, and encourage the plants by occasional hoeing. Beans are hot weather plants, and a sowing of the bush sorts may be made at any time to keep up a succession. If wanted for picking, the “Retugee” is preferred. If Limas, after reach- ing the tops of the poles, throw out long wan- dering branches. pinch off the ends of these, to induce a setting of pods. Beets.—Continue to thin the earlier sown, and keep clear of weeds. The “Blood Turnip” ma} still be sown for winter use. We find it mucl preferable to the large kinds. Cabbage and Caulijlower: enough, are to be set ont from the secd-bed. Land which was occupied by early potatoes, witha liberal manuring, makes an excellent cabbage ground. Give the surface of the soil an occasional dressing with the rake to keep down the weeds. In localities where the ‘‘cab- bage-worm” is troublesome, use Pyrethrum powder or hot water. Carrots.—Continue to work between the rows ‘until the tops are so large as to be in the way. Celery is usually set out this month. Market- gardeners put it upon land heavily manured for early cabbage or other early crop. Prepare the ground by throwing out the soil with the plow, going twice in the row, and place well-rotted manure in the turrows. Throw the soil back, and work it with the roller and harrow untila fine bed is made. The manured furrows should be three feet apart, and the plants set every six inches in the rows. Keep the plants well culti- vated, and replace any that may die from a re- serve lot. Celrriac is set out in the same manner as celery. Corn.—Some of the early sorts may still be planted, to give a late supply. If seed is to be saved, select the seed-stalks, and mark them by tying on them a strip of white cloth before any ears are gathered. As soon as the ears are ail off, cut up and cure the stalks if not wanted for immediate feeding. Cucumbers.—If seeds are to be saved, mark the earliest specimens hetore any are cut for use. Cut all that are large enough, whether needed for use or not, as this will prolong the bearing. Seeds for the pickle crop may still be sown. Kohl-rabi.—Seeds may be sown for a late crop. Ifgrown in rich soil and used while young, this Is a delicious vegetable. The old rule, ‘‘use when not larger than a teacup,” is a good one. Martynias.—Keep well hoed, and gather the fruit for pickles while yet so tender as to offer nowesistance to the thumb nail. If any get too old, cut them away. Melons.—The fight must be kept up with in- sects. Hand work, when the vines are small, willdo much. If the spotted beetle attacks the vines, Paris green is the only remedy. “Okra.—Keep clear of weeds, and use while the green pods are tender. If more are produced than are needed for immediate use, slice in half- inch pieces and dry for winter use. Onions.—Keep down the weeds by hoeing as often as necessary. Fora near market, onions often pay best if bunched and sold while green. When half grown, from three to six, according to the market. are tled In a bunch, first washing and removing any loose skin. Peas.—As «rule, late peas mildew. Some of the early varieties may be sown at a venture. —Encourage by trequent hoeing, and | Peppes : cut the fruit as svon as large enough for pick- ling. Radishes—The Chinese rose-colored winter may be sown this month. Rhubarb.—After the early fruits are plenty, the rhubarb is allowed to rest, though an occa- sional picking may be made If desired. Keep the flower-staiks cut awa: Salsify.—_Though not generally used until winter, the roots are good whenever large enough. 3 Squashes.—Keep down the weeds, and when the vines prevent the use of the hoe or cultiva- tor, pull by hand those which appear. Continue the fight with insects. Hand-picking will keep the malodorous black squash-bug in check. If the vines take root at the joints, do not disturb them. Small, unripe squashes of any of the winter varieti especially of the Hubbard, when cooked, are superior to the summer squashes. Sweet-Herbs.—Sage, thyme, etc., are usually gown in a seed-bed, from which they are trans- planted to land left vacant by early crops. They may be set out any time this month in rows a@ foot apart, with the plants elght or ten inches apart in the rows. They do not make much growth until we have cool nights, but must be kept clear of weeds, Sweet marjoram, being rather difficult to transplant, does best if sown where it is to grow. Sweet Potatoes.—These are often slow in get- ting astart. Keep the ridges clear of weeds, and it may be necessary to build them up anew with the hoe and spade. When the vines once start to run, do not allow them to take root; this may be prevented by lifting them witha hoe handle. Tomatoes.—If the rot appears, cat away and destroy the affected fruit. The cause is not yet ascertained. If.as is possible, it is due toa fangus, this will tend to check it. Keep the vines tied to the trellis. Turnips.—The ruta-baga sorts may still be sown very early this month. For table use, none are equal to the “long white French,” though it is not so large as some others. Give rich soil, use a plenty of seed, and thin early. The Yellowstone and Aberdeen may be sown during the month. Watermelons.—The insects that attack squashes, melons, and others of the family must be fought. Those marauders who look upon watermelons as common property often save one the trouble of deciding when the watermelon is ripe. Having been troubled by “vermin” of this class, we-one year put up a conspicuous sign to this effect: “Caution! Those who take melons, must be careful to select those which have not been poisoned.” No melons were missed that season. Weeds.—When a crop is removed, do not allow the land to grow up a crop of weeds. It may be sown to buckwheat. peas, or other plant that will sin othier'the weeds, the crop to be plowed or spaded under before frost. a Saturday Smiles. “Yes,” sald Mrs. Towsor, as she expatiated upon the beauties of her flower garden, ‘I have given it great care, and if you come over in a week or two IT expect to be able to show you some beautiful scarlet pneumonias.’ Very few of the elephants in these days have any tusks.

Some thirty-two years since, then a boy of sixteen, resident in Western New York, I was attacked with ‘what was declared by the physicians pronounced case of nereditary scrofuls. It appeared in the form of a glandular swelling upon the lett side ot the neck, which, despite all of the usual old-time remedies, continued to grow, becoming at, say eighteen, a seeming fixture of about the size of ahen'segg. The swelling was fre- quently very sore and painful, the more so that it was much of the time raw from the daity appifcation of jodine. The general health became very much broken, and the prospects in life, for one just verging upon manhood, wére cloomy enourh. A promising physician in Cleveland, Ohio, adviseda change of climate, with a life of hardship and exposure, as presenting, in connection with youth, a possible chance of recovery. A removal tothe south and weet, and an active, out-door life for some years, attested the soundness of his Judgment. ‘The scrofulous swellings gradually disappeared; the system as gradually toned iteelf up; the broken and dispirited boy became a strong and hearty man of 183 pounds. Thera was a respite for fifteen years. “Daring all of this time there was nosign of a return of the dread disease, As the future but too sadly proved, however, itwas none the less surely, if slowly, working. In the spring of 1870, now thirteen years since, itagain putin an appearance, and in an intensely aggravated form. First asingle ulcer appeared upon the left breast; this was but the precursor of more than ten long ‘years of 28 miserable and wretched an existance, with certainly as much of physical suffering, ‘as often falls to the lot of man. The one ulcer was fol- lowed by another, until the whole surface of the breast was but one mass of corruption. Some of these ulcers ‘were not less than one and a half inches in diameter, the edges rough, ragged and seemingly desa, tho cavity open to the bone and filled with a yellowish, waxy and exceedingly offensive matter. Everything known to the medical fraternity wastried invain, The disease be- came but the more and more virulent. Gradually the bone itself became diseased, and then the sufferings ‘began in earnest. Bone ulcers here and there began to take the place of those hitherto on the surface. ‘The difference manifest in these was that the erup- tions were of a watery nature, were copious and were attended with almost constant and severe pain. About the only relief experienced was found in burning the whole surface of the breast, night and morning, liter- ally toa blister, with a strong solution of carbolic acid. ‘This served aga disinfectant, removing the otherwise intolerable smell, loosened up the matter, and allayed | for the time the intolerable itching, As if all this was not enough, the ulcers broke out upon the shoulder blades and extended to the small of the back, and then, indeed, the cup of misery was complete. Ibecame reduced to a mere wreck; for months at a time could not get my hands to my head because of ex- treme soreness; could not turn over in bed without first rising toa sitting posture; knew not from one year’s end to another what it was to be an hour even free from pain, save, as before stated, in the temporary relief afforded by the burning of the uleers with carbolic acid; had reason to look upon life iteelf as a curse. In the summer of 1880, after better than ten long years of this wretched existence, I was induced by a lady friend to try a box of Curtcuna. I did so, much as I tried everything else that offered, without any faith. I was agrceably surprised to find, at once, that it acted with a wonderful, soothing effect, in allaying the terri- ble burning and itching of the ulcers. Iwas induced, alittle later, to try a box of Curicuna RESOLvENT. White I saw no immediate effect upon the particular disease, I was encouraged to continue its use by an un- expected and flattering result in quite another direction. Thad been troubled with the Dyspepsia. I found here at once an agreeable sense of relief I continued to use the Curicuna Ri MepIEs. After some months I began to see a change, and for the better. The old ulcers be- gan to discharge far more freely, and relief was expe- rienced in proportion. The gencral tone of the aystem ‘began to improve; there was a marked inereaze in the appetite, and a most decided improvement in the dixes- tion. I kept on with the remedies, and kept on improv- ing. First the one old ulcer, which had run for more than ten years, gradually healed; then another, and still another, ‘There were new and frequent eruptions. Truly enough, they were rether encouraging than oth- erwise, in that, unlike the old, they discharged them- selves freely and healed again in a comparatively short time, Finally, after something better than two years’ per- sistent use of the Curicura kemepiss, the last ulcer was healed. The work of renovation has been slow, but seemingly sure, Thu dread diseaso has succumbed, Ali over the breast, shoulders and back, where for 60 many long, long ycars all was but a mass of corruption, there 1s now a healthy skin. ‘The broken-down system has gradually recuperated; has increased in weizht from 123 to 156 pounds; the good work is still going on; the enoral health is be- coming remarkably good; the man of 48 years of age, after more than 12 years of suffering, fecia himself = new man, and all through the Currousa REMEDIES. I make this affidavit uncalled for, and wholly through a eense of duty to suffering humanity, and others, per- haps, influenced thereby, may themselves be healed.
